These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Aeda Wallet services ("Aeda," "we," "us," or "our"). Aeda is a non‑custodial crypto wallet that enables you to send, receive and manage cryptocurrencies and perform identity verification via Bridge.
By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms, along with our Privacy & Cookies Policy. We may update these Terms and any material changes will take effect 30 days after notice. Continued use constitutes acceptance of the updates.
For the purposes of these Terms, the following capitalized terms have the meanings set forth below:
Account: An Account means your registered user account for accessing and using the Services, including credentials, wallet association and any associated balances or transaction history.
Aeda, our, we, us: Refers to Aeda Wallet - VanCoin LLC - non‑custodial crypto wallet provider offering the Services described herein.
Bridge: A third-party service provider through which identity verification (KYC), transfer execution and related compliance processes are facilitated. Bridge and its partners (e.g., Persona, Beam, Paxos) may process or store data on our behalf.
Digital Assets / Supported Assets: Digital Assets mean cryptocurrencies or tokens supported by Aeda. "Supported Assets" are specific Digital Assets available for use on the Aeda platform as listed within the app. Attempting to use unsupported assets may result in loss.
Blockchain: A decentralized, distributed digital ledger where transactions are recorded in blocks and validated via consensus mechanisms (e.g., Proof of Work, Proof of Stake).
Wallet / Non‑Custodial Wallet: A software mechanism (app or interface) that generates, stores and manages cryptographic key pairs and enables users to sign and send transactions on supported networks. "Non‑custodial" indicates that users, not Aeda, retain sole control over private keys and funds.
Private Key / Public Key: A Private Key is a cryptographic secret used to authorize transactions. A Public Key is an address or identifier derived from the private key used to receive funds. Anyone with access to the Private Key controls the associated funds.
Transaction Fee / Network Fee: Fees paid to blockchain miners or validators for processing a transaction. These are not charged by Aeda but are determined by blockchain network conditions.
KYC (Know Your Customer): The process of verifying the identity of users by collecting identifying documentation and information, conducted by Bridge and its partners to comply with regulatory requirements.
User, You, Your: Refers to any individual or entity accessing or using Aeda Services, whether as a registered user or visitor.
Force Majeure: Unforeseeable circumstances that prevent a party from fulfilling its obligations, such as natural disasters, acts of government, network failure or third-party outages.
Third-Party Providers: Entities beyond Aeda responsible for operating part of the Services, including Bridge, blockchain networks or external infrastructure providers.
To use Aeda:
To proceed with wallet creation, you must complete all of the following steps:
Important: Failure to complete any of these steps will prevent wallet activation and access to Services.
By registering an account and using Aeda services, you agree to:
Refusal to provide consent for any of the above may prevent completion of registration or access to the Services.
During KYC verification, we or our verification partners may collect biometric data (e.g., a selfie or facial scan). This data is used solely for identity verification and fraud prevention. You provide explicit consent for such processing, and may withdraw consent at any time—though doing so may result in service restriction.
You may withdraw your consent to data processing at any time by contacting [email protected]. Withdrawal does not affect the legality of prior processing but may limit your access to Aeda services.
Aeda supports only certain digital assets and networks, which may evolve over time. You must not attempt to store, send, request or receive unsupported assets; Aeda is not liable for any funds lost due to unsupported asset transactions. You acknowledge that Aeda is not responsible for network forks or protocol changes affecting Supported Assets.
Aeda facilitates access to third-party fiat on-ramp and off-ramp services that allow users to exchange fiat currency for supported digital assets and vice versa. These services are provided exclusively by regulated third-party providers (e.g., Bridge and its payment partners), and may require users to complete additional KYC/AML steps, including uploading identity documents and payment information.
Important Disclaimer: Aeda is not a money transmitter, fiat custodian, or financial intermediary. All fiat processing, currency exchange, and settlement are conducted solely by the third-party provider. Users are responsible for reviewing and agreeing to the provider's terms of service and disclosures.
Aeda disclaims any liability for delays, errors, or losses related to fiat transactions, including failed bank transfers, credit card declines, chargebacks, and local currency conversion rates.
Critical Information: All Blockchain transactions executed through Aeda are final once confirmed on-chain. Network performance, congestion or forks may delay confirmation and Aeda is not responsible for timing, forked chains or resulting duplicate transactions.
While Aeda does not charge service fees, third parties (Bridge or blockchain networks) may impose fees for asset transfers or exchanges. Applicable fees and exchange rates will be disclosed at the time of transaction and are outside of Aeda's control.
Beyond the general risks outlined above, you acknowledge and accept the following specific technical and operational risks:
Risk Acknowledgment: By using Aeda Services, you acknowledge that you understand these risks and agree that Aeda bears no responsibility for losses resulting from any of the above risk factors. You agree to conduct your own research and due diligence before engaging in any digital asset activities.
When changing devices or migrating between platforms (iOS to Android, Android to iOS, or within the same platform), you acknowledge and agree to the following requirements and limitations:
Recovery Phrase Critical Importance: Your recovery phrase/seed words are the only means to restore wallet access during cross-platform migrations. You must write down your complete recovery phrase exactly as displayed, verify its accuracy, and store it in a secure physical location separate from your current device.
You are solely responsible for creating and securely storing all necessary backup materials before initiating any device change. Failure to complete proper backup procedures may result in permanent loss of access to your digital assets.
When migrating between different operating systems, automatic wallet transfer is not supported. You must manually enter your complete recovery phrase/seed words on the new device to restore wallet access.
No Recovery Phrase Assistance: Aeda cannot and will not provide assistance with lost, forgotten, or incorrectly documented recovery phrases. Since recovery phrases are never stored on Aeda servers, there is no technical means for Aeda to retrieve or restore them.
You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for determining what taxes, if any, apply to your use of Aeda Services and any transactions involving digital assets.
Professional Tax Advice: Given the complexity and evolving nature of cryptocurrency taxation, Aeda strongly recommends consulting with qualified tax professionals or advisors familiar with digital asset taxation in your jurisdiction.
Aeda is not responsible for determining tax obligations, calculating liabilities, providing tax advice, or collecting/reporting taxes on your behalf.
You must not engage in activities such as illicit financial activity, fraud, network abuse, reverse-engineering of Aeda systems or misuse of the Service. You agree to:
Violation of these prohibited activities may result in immediate account suspension, permanent termination, legal action, and liability for damages.
Aeda functions solely as a technology interface and facilitator that connects users to blockchain networks and regulated third-party service providers.
Aeda acts as a facilitator and technology provider only—not as a financial institution, service provider, or transaction counterparty.
You agree to indemnify Aeda and affiliated parties from claims resulting from your breach of these Terms or illegal actions. Aeda is not liable for indirect damages, incidental, special or consequential and our maximum aggregate liability is capped at the total fees paid in the last 12 months or zero if no fees were paid.
Aeda provides all services on an "as-is, as-available" basis:
Disputes will first be resolved through negotiations; unresolved disputes may proceed to arbitration or court within the applicable jurisdiction.
Important Time Limit: YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR LEGAL ACTION AGAINST Aeda MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DATE YOU FIRST KNEW OR REASONABLY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE ACT, OMISSION, OR DEFAULT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
Jury Rights Waiver: IF ANY DISPUTE PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION OR OTHER ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION, YOU AND Aeda EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
