Terms and Conditions

1. Who we are and acceptance of these Terms

These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and GeekOcean Labs Ltd, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“Salmon”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), which operates Salmon Wallet.

The Terms apply to https://www.salmonwallet.io, the mobile application, browser extension, and the features Salmon makes available through them (together, the “Services”).

By accessing or using the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not accept them, do not use the Services.

2. Eligibility to use the Services

You represent and warrant that you have the legal age and capacity to enter into this agreement; may lawfully use the Services where you are located; are not subject to sanctions or listed as a restricted party by the United Nations, United States, United Kingdom, European Union, or its Member States; and will not use the Services to violate law, evade sanctions, launder assets, finance unlawful activity, defraud anyone, or infringe third-party rights.

Salmon may restrict, suspend, or refuse access to a feature when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect security, respond to a valid order, or prevent abusive use. Technical availability does not mean that use is lawful in every jurisdiction.

3. What Salmon provides

Salmon provides a self-custodial wallet software interface. Self-custody means that the user retains exclusive control of the keys that provide access to and allow the movement of digital assets recorded on blockchain networks (“Digital Assets”).

The version governed by these Terms allows users to create or import a compatible wallet; view balances, assets, and public activity; receive Digital Assets; prepare, review, sign, and broadcast transfers initiated by the user; and display and transfer certain digital collectibles.

Through this version, Salmon does not provide services for exchanging, buying, selling, converting, or transferring assets between different networks. It also does not provide custody, fund recovery, financial advice, or asset management on behalf of the user.

A feature forms part of the Services only when it is actually available in the installed version. References in announcements, presentations, social media, roadmaps, or promotional materials do not guarantee launch or availability.

Salmon may add features in later versions. Each feature will be subject to the terms, restrictions, and notices applicable when it becomes available.

4. Self-custody and the user’s exclusive control

The Wallet is self-custodial: private keys and the recovery phrase are generated and remain on the user’s device.

No technical provider receives your private key or recovery phrase from Salmon. Every transfer is reviewed, authorized, and signed by the user on the user’s device before it is broadcast. You must review the asset, amount, network, address, permissions, and all other details before approving a request.

You alone are responsible for protecting your device, local password, private keys, and recovery phrase. Anyone who obtains them may control your Digital Assets. Salmon is not liable for transactions, losses, or access caused through information or devices under your control, except where mandatory law expressly provides otherwise.

Salmon will never ask for your recovery phrase or private key by email, messaging, support, or social media. Anyone who does so is not acting legitimately for Salmon.

• Salmon does not receive, store, control, or reconstruct your private keys or recovery phrase.
• Salmon does not maintain an account in your name or issue credentials that can recover the Wallet.
• Salmon has no access to your Digital Assets.
• Salmon cannot initiate, sign, modify, block, cancel, freeze, reverse, or recover a transaction.
• Salmon cannot restore access if you lose your device, local password, private keys, or recovery phrase.

5. Transactions and blockchain networks

Every transfer is initiated, reviewed, authorized, and signed directly by the user using keys under the user’s control. Salmon does not choose the recipient, asset, amount, network, timing of the transfer, or whether the user should approve it.

Signing occurs on the user’s device. Salmon does not sign transactions or transmit Digital Assets on the user’s behalf. After signing, the transaction is sent to the relevant network through a technical access provider. The network, not Salmon, determines whether it accepts, confirms, rejects, or delays the transaction.

Once broadcast, a transaction may be irreversible. Salmon cannot recover funds sent to the wrong address, correct an amount, revoke an authorization, undo a signature, or change blockchain state.

Before signing, you must verify the network, asset, address, amount, network fee, permissions, and instructions, and the authenticity and safety of every token, contract, and recipient.

Networks may become congested, halt, fork, reject operations, fail, or be attacked. A transaction may be delayed, fail, or execute under conditions different from the estimate. Salmon does not control those events.

6. Third-party services and integrations

To display public information and broadcast transactions already signed by the user, Salmon uses technical providers that enable communication with blockchain networks, retrieval of data, organization of histories, and display of information about tokens or digital collectibles.

Salmon may select, replace, or stop using a provider for security, availability, performance, or compliance reasons. A technical or commercial review does not require Salmon to supervise the provider continuously or guarantee its security, availability, or performance.

7. Fees

Salmon does not charge its own fee to create a wallet, view balances, send or receive assets, view activity, or display digital collectibles.

A transfer may require a fee determined by the blockchain network. That fee is paid to participants who process the transaction, not to Salmon; it may change before confirmation and, under the network’s rules, may be charged even if the transaction fails.

Salmon displays the best available estimate before you confirm, but cannot guarantee the final amount.

8. No custody or professional advice

Salmon provides software. It does not provide financial, legal, tax, or investment advice; recommend buying, selling, holding, or using Digital Assets; assume a fiduciary or best-execution duty; or guarantee profitability, liquidity, security, or regulatory treatment.

Salmon does not hold assets for users; accept deposits; receive or transmit money or Digital Assets on a user’s behalf; exchange, buy, or sell assets; operate an order book; execute transactions with discretion; or act as a bank, custodian, broker, dealer, exchange, or money transmitter. This description does not override a mandatory legal classification applied by a competent authority to a specific activity.

9. Risks you accept

By using the Services, you acknowledge that Digital Assets may lose all value; anyone may create false or malicious tokens; contract or application approvals may cause losses; code may contain vulnerabilities even when open source; third parties may suffer outages, insolvency, fraud, or attacks; transactions may have tax or regulatory consequences; and no interface eliminates the inherent risks of a blockchain.

10. Forks, distributions, and unsolicited assets

Salmon decides, in its sole technical and operational discretion, whether to support assets resulting from forks, airdrops, or other distributions. Salmon does not guarantee that they can be displayed, claimed, or transferred through the Wallet. An unsolicited asset may be worthless or malicious, and you must investigate its risks before interacting with it.

11. Acceptable use

You must not use the Services for unlawful or fraudulent activity, sanctions violations, interference with security or availability, malicious code, circumvention of technical limits, unauthorized access, harm to other users, or use of unsupported interfaces that degrades the Services.

12. Intellectual property and open source

The Salmon brand, design, text, images, and other proprietary content are protected by applicable law. You may not use them in a way that suggests authorization, association, or endorsement that does not exist.

Published Wallet source code is offered under the Apache License 2.0. That license governs use, modification, and distribution of the code and controls for those specific rights.

Suggestions voluntarily submitted are not confidential. To the extent permitted by law, you grant Salmon a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, adapt, and exploit them without compensation.

To report possible intellectual-property infringement, write to help@salmonwallet.io and identify the work, disputed content, location, contact details, and basis of the claim.

13. Availability and disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available”, without express, implied, or statutory warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, availability, accuracy, or security.

Salmon does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, compatibility with every device or network, detection or correction of vulnerabilities, accuracy of third-party data, or acceptance, confirmation, or completion of transactions.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Salmon and its affiliates, directors, employees, contractors, and representatives are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential losses; loss of profits, opportunities, data, reputation, or assets; or damage arising from compromised keys or devices, user decisions, markets, blockchains, tokens, contracts, third parties, outages, errors, vulnerabilities, or events beyond Salmon’s reasonable control.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Salmon’s total aggregate liability relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of: (a) fees actually received by Salmon from the user’s transactions during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) USD 100.

Nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. These limits apply regardless of the legal theory and even if a remedy fails its essential purpose.

15. Indemnity

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and defend Salmon, its affiliates, directors, employees, contractors, and representatives against third-party claims, damages, obligations, reasonable costs, and legal fees arising from unlawful or abusive use, breach of these Terms, infringement of third-party rights, or information you provide. This does not cover losses directly caused by Salmon conduct that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

16. Suspension and termination

Salmon may suspend or terminate access to components it controls if you breach these Terms, a security or legal risk exists, a provider becomes unavailable, or Salmon stops offering a feature.

Suspending an interface does not give Salmon control of your Digital Assets. You remain responsible for retaining the recovery phrase and using compatible software. Provisions that by their nature should continue survive termination.

17. Changes

Salmon may modify these Terms to reflect legal, technical, operational, or commercial changes. We will publish the current version and date. For a material change, we will provide reasonable notice before it takes effect unless law or an urgent risk requires immediate application.

Continued use after the effective date means acceptance. If you do not accept a change, stop using the Services. Your Digital Assets remain under your control and do not depend on continuation of this agreement.

18. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands, without applying conflict-of-law rules. To the maximum extent permitted, its courts have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes relating to the Services or these Terms.

A claim must be started within one year after it arose, unless mandatory law provides a period that cannot be contractually shortened.

19. General provisions

If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited or severed only to the minimum extent necessary and the rest will remain effective. Failure to exercise a right is not a waiver.

You may not assign these Terms without written permission. Salmon may assign them as part of a reorganization, asset transfer, merger, acquisition, or change of operator, subject to law and required notices. This right does not mean that any reorganization or transfer has occurred or will occur.

These Terms and feature-specific conditions presented before use form the complete agreement. If they conflict, feature-specific conditions control only for that feature.

20. Terms applicable to the Apple App Store

If you obtain Salmon through the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and GeekOcean Labs Ltd, not Apple; Salmon, not Apple, is responsible for the application and its content; and Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support.

The license is personal, limited, non-exclusive, and non-transferable, except for shared uses permitted by Apple’s rules. You may use the application only on Apple devices that you own or control and in accordance with those rules.

Salmon is responsible for addressing claims relating to the application’s operation, legal compliance, or intellectual property. If the application fails to conform to an applicable legal warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any, without assuming any other warranty obligations.

You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a United States embargo and are not listed on a United States list of prohibited or restricted persons. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce the provisions applicable to the application.

21. Other app stores

When you download Salmon from Google Play or another store, you must also comply with that store’s applicable terms. The store operator does not hold your assets, recover your credentials, process your transfers, or provide Wallet support unless its own terms expressly state otherwise.
