  1. Transaction Management, Risk Mitigation & Wallets


4.1 We help organisations secure transactions by providing an additional layer of security. Our Thresh0ld Service is a transaction management platform that reduces the risk of lost or stolen private keys and makes your digital asset management easy. We do not hold or store private keys on behalf of customers, provide custodial wallets or administer funds on your behalf. All customers retain full ownership and control of digital assets when using our Services. By requesting or using the Services, you authorize us to take all necessary actions in our discretion to effectively provide the Services to you and to comply with applicable laws. We are not a bank nor do we purport to act as a bank or financial institution.

4.2 Our Thresh0ld Service permits you to self-custody digital assets, organise network addresses, view transaction history and transact in digital assets. The Thresh0ld Service is only capable of supporting certain digital assets. While we contribute our computing power for broadcasting transactions to public digital asset networks, our software does not generate a cryptographic private and public key pair to send and receive digital assets. You must store, outside of the Services, a backup of all wallet credentials, including your passphrases, identifiers, backup phrases, private keys and network addresses. We are not responsible for maintaining this data on your behalf.

4.3 We have no control over any digital asset network and therefore cannot and do not ensure that any transaction performed will be confirmed on the relevant network. Any transaction you make using our Services may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed, by the digital asset network used to process the transaction.
