2. Services
- Aurora Pass is a non-custodial wallet software for digital assets (“Digital Assets”), meaning you are solely in control of and responsible for your Digital Assets and private keys, and accordingly you can authorize transactions from your wallet address. You expressly acknowledge and agree that as Aurora Pass is a non-custodial wallet software, you are solely responsible for your activity and any risk of loss at all times.
- Aurora Pass allows you to:
- generate wallet addresses and associated private keys that you may use to send and receive digital assets;
- send/receive Digital Assets;
- obtain 50 free transactions per month, enabling interaction with the Aurora ecosystem without concern about gas costs;
- obtain 500 transactions per month in exchange for a fee, enabling interaction with the Aurora ecosystem without concern about gas costs;
- browse and access third party decentralized application(s) (“DApp(s)”) and third party decentralized exchanges (“DEX”) through the mobile application’s web browser.
3. Wallet Address, Private Key, and Backup Capabilities
- An encrypted backup of certain information associated with your wallet can be stored on eligible devices. The private key is associated with the wallet address and, together, they can be used to authorize the transfer of Digital Assets to and from that wallet address. You are solely responsible for the retention and security of your private key and any mnemonic phrase (“Secret Phrase”) associated with your wallet. You must keep your wallet address, Secret Phrase, and private key access information secure. It is very important that you backup your private keys, backup phrases or passwords. Failure to do so may result in the loss of control of Digital Assets associated with your wallet. You acknowledge and agree that we do not receive or store your wallet password, encrypted private key, unencrypted private key, or Secret Phrase associated with your wallet. We cannot generate a new password for your wallet if you fail to remember your original password. If you have not safely stored a backup of any wallet address and private key pairs maintained in your wallet, you accept and acknowledge that any Digital Assets you have associated with such wallet address will become inaccessible. Accordingly, we shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever in the event you are unable to access your wallet for any reason including without limitation your failure to keep your wallet address, Secret Phrase and private key information secure.
4. Use of DApps and DEX
- If you access or use DApps or DEX, including, without limitation, DApp functionality embedded within the Services such as the Trade/Swap Digital Assets function, you acknowledge and agree that: (i) Aurora Pass is not responsible for your access or use of DApps or DEX and shall have no liability whatsoever in connection with your use of DApps or DEX, including, without limitation, any transactions you dispute; (ii) the limits of amounts that you may exchange via DEX per day shall be subject to any requirements of the third-party developed smart contracts; (iii) blockchain operations are irrevocable meaning when you conduct any transactions via DApps or DEX, you shall be solely responsible for the consequences of any issues associated with such transactions, including, without limitation, your transfer to an incorrect address or problems associated with the node servers selected by you; and (iv) when you use DApps or DEX, third-party developed smart contracts may charge you handling fees and/or service fees and any information displayed on Aurora Pass relating to such fees are for your reference only as Aurora Pass cannot and does not guarantee its accuracy, applicability, reliability, integrity or appropriateness, nor shall Aurora Pass be liable for any loss or damage that may be caused directly or indirectly by your use of these contents..

Such networks are decentralized, peer-to-peer networks supported by independent third parties, which we do not own, control, or operate. We have no control over the blockchain networks and, therefore, cannot and do not ensure that any transaction details that you submit via our Services will be confirmed and processed. By using Aurora Pass, you acknowledge and agree that: (i) we do not have the ability to cancel or otherwise modify your transaction; (ii) the transaction details you submit may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed, by the applicable blockchain networks; (iii) we do not store, send, or receive Digital Assets; and (iv) any transfer that occurs in relation to any Digital Asset occurs on the relevant blockchain network and not on a network owned by us and therefore we do not guarantee the transfer of title or right in any Digital Asset.
6. Accuracy of Information Provided by User
- You represent and warrant that any information you provide via the Services is accurate and complete. You accept and acknowledge that we are not responsible for any errors or omissions that you make in connection with any Digital Asset transaction initiated via the Services.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, we shall have no liability whatsoever in connection with activities that occur on your wallet with or without your authorization.

You must ensure that you have an adequate balance in your wallet and/or “gas” to complete transactions before initiating a transaction. You acknowledge and agree that we will not be liable for any failed transactions or losses you incur due to incorrectly set transaction fees (i.e. too low or too high) or due to insufficient funds or gas associated with your wallet address. You further acknowledge and agree that we do not have access to your or anyone else’s transactions.

- You and the Company: (a) waive the right to have any and all disputes or claims arising from these Terms, your use or access to the Platform or any other disputes with the Company (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in a court; and (b) waive any right to a jury trial. Instead, you and the Company agree to arbitrate Disputes that are not resolved informally (as described below) through binding arbitration (i.e. the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it) instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).
- You and the Company agree that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. Neither party agrees to class arbitration or to an arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and the Company agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class, or other types of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.
- You agree that will notify the Company, in writing, of any Dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises so that you and the Company can attempt, in good faith, to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to the Company shall be provided by sending an email to [email protected]. Your notice must include (1) your name, postal address, and email address; (2) a description of the nature or basis of the Dispute; and (3) the specific action that you are seeking. If you and the Company cannot resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days of the Company receiving the notice, either you or the Company may, as appropriate pursuant to this section, commence an arbitration proceeding. You and the Company agree that any arbitration or claim must be commenced or filed within one (1) year after the Dispute arose; otherwise, you and the Company agree that the claim is permanently barred (which means that you will no longer have the right to assert a claim regarding the Dispute).
