Terms of service · draft · 18 September 2026
These terms describe a self-custody wallet. They are short because the software cannot do most of the things terms usually have to disclaim. Draft pending review by counsel.
01 · What Dark is
Dark is a wallet application and a set of open-source smart contracts on Robinhood Chain. Using it means running software on your own device that signs transactions with keys only you hold. Dark does not take deposits, does not hold funds for you, and is not a party to your transactions.
Dark operates servers that make the software more convenient: a blockchain relay, price and market data, an index of public events, and storage for encrypted disclosure links. None of them is required to use your funds, and the software works with all of them switched off.
02 · Self-custody
Your recovery phrase is the only way into your account.
We do not have a copy. There is no reset, no support ticket and no court order that can recover it, because the ability does not exist.
You are responsible for keeping your phrase and device secure, for verifying the addresses you send to, and for the consequences of transactions you sign. A transaction on Robinhood Chain cannot be reversed by Dark or by anyone else.
03 · Pre-audit beta
Dark's contracts are new and have not yet completed an external security audit. Deposit and balance limits are set deliberately low while that is true. Cryptographic software can contain errors that result in permanent loss, and no amount of testing eliminates that possibility. By using the beta you accept that risk knowingly.
The team can pause new deposits and transfers and can tighten limits if a problem is found. The team cannot pause withdrawals; that restriction is written into the contract so that you can always leave.
04 · Privacy claims
Dark encrypts your USDG balance and the amounts of payments between Dark accounts. It does not hide your address, your deposits and withdrawals, who you transact with, when, or anything about other tokens. It is not a mixer and does not provide anonymity. A disclosure link you create reveals your address to whoever opens it, and a proof they save remains valid after you revoke the link. The full statement is in the privacy policy.
05 · Third-party services
Swaps are executed by a third-party aggregator; market data, explorer data, the assistant and push notifications each rely on a named third party listed in the privacy policy. Dark does not control those services, does not guarantee their availability or accuracy, and is not responsible for their conduct. Tokenised stock features are unavailable in some jurisdictions and require you to state your residence truthfully.
06 · Restricted use
You may not use Dark where doing so is unlawful, to conceal the proceeds of crime, to evade sanctions, or to attack the software or its users. Addresses on applicable sanctions lists are refused by the servers Dark operates; the contracts themselves are permissionless and Dark makes no claim to control them.
07 · Liability
The software is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dark and its contributors are not liable for any loss arising from your use of it, including loss of funds from user error, software defects, chain behaviour, third-party services, or the actions of the USDG issuer or the chain operator. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid Dark for the software, which is nothing.
08 · Changes
These terms will be revised on review by counsel and at mainnet launch. The date at the top is the current version. Earlier versions are retained in the source repository. Questions to team@darkwallet.cash.
