Last updated: February 27th, 2025 

These Terms and Conditions, including any exhibits, policies, or addendums attached hereto or referenced herein (the “Agreement”), govern your access to and use of Io.vault. This Agreement is a contract between Io FinNet Group, Inc., a Delaware (USA) corporation (“Io.finnet”), and you as an individual (“you” or “the User”).

*For clarity, these Terms are intended solely for individual consumers using Io.vault for personal purposes. By agreeing to these Terms, you confirm that you are accessing Io.vault as an individual and not on behalf of any business or organization.

Io.vault (“Io.vault”) is a self-custody solution offering the ability to directly hold and transact with Digital Assets and which is accessed via the Dashboard. Upon accessing Io.vault, you will be able to create a vault with a Signing Device and you will be provided with the cryptographic data that is required to enable the generation of a valid cryptographic signature for a given vault (the “Secret Share(s)” which represent the access and Signing Power in said vault and are stored on the Signing Device).

In a consumer context, Secret Shares are designed to ensure that you retain full control of your digital assets. They can be distributed across your personal devices in such a way as to prevent a single point of failure and enhance your recovery options. 

* To protect your Digital Assets, Secret Shares should be stored on devices you trust and control, such as your smartphone, tablet, or a secure backup device. Ensuring that even if one device is lost or compromised, you can still regain access using the remaining Secret Shares. 

For a more in depth feature and capabilities explanation, we strongly encourage you to read our User Guide and Documentation, as well as to access our FAQ accessible on the help center.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, this Agreement becomes binding and effective on you (the “Effective Date”) when you perform any of the following:

  1. Access and use Io.vault;
  2. Click an “I accept”, “Sign up”, or similar button or checkbox referencing this Agreement; or
  3. Provide your payment details and confirm your subscription to Io.vault.

Your subscription term begins only after successful processing of your payment, as specified in the applicable plan details. 

You and Io.finnet are referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the respective meanings assigned to them in Section 1.

You represent and warrant that: (i) you are using Io.vault solely as an individual and not on behalf of any entity or organization; and (ii) you are at least eighteen (18) years of age.

*If you reside outside the United States, Io.finnet reserves the right to determine whether to provide Io.vault to you based on applicable legal, operational, or regulatory considerations. Where Io.vault is provided, your local consumer protection laws may grant additional rights that cannot be waived by this Agreement, and Io.finnet will comply with such rights where applicable.

12. FEES

12.1. Subscriptions

Io.vault is a SaaS product delivered immediately upon subscription. By subscribing, you agree to the immediate provision of the service and expressly waive any statutory right of withdrawal as allowed under Applicable Law.

This Agreement sets forth the terms for access to Io.vault under a subscription plan. Subscriptions may be offered on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis, depending on your selection at the time of entering your billing details (the “Subscription Term”).

The Subscription Term begins when you successfully provide your billing information and agree to the subscription. Unless you cancel your subscription before the end of the current Subscription Term, your subscription will automatically renew for an additional period corresponding to your chosen plan (e.g., one year for yearly subscriptions, one quarter for quarterly subscriptions, or one month for monthly subscriptions) (the “Renewal Subscription Term”).

You may cancel your subscription or disable automatic renewal at any time through the Io.vault dashboard. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current Subscription Term, and no further charges will be made.

Each subscription is independent, and cancellation of one subscription will not affect any other active subscriptions you may have.

12.2. Fee Changes and Grandfathering

12.2.1. Notification of pricing changes

Io.finnet reserves the right to adjust pricing for its services at any time. For changes that result in higher costs or less advantageous terms, Users will be notified at least sixty (60) days before the changes take effect.

For changes that are neutral or more advantageous to Users, Io.finnet may implement them with a notice period of its choosing, which may be shorter or longer than sixty (60) days.

12.2.2. Grandfathering period

Users will be grandfathered into the pricing structure in effect at the time of notification of the pricing changes until the end of the then-current subscription period (the “Grandfathering Period”). Grandfathering applies only to changes that result in higher costs or less advantageous terms for the User.

If a pricing change is neutral or more advantageous, Io.finnet may apply it immediately or at its discretion without a Grandfathering Period.

Grandfathering applies to the pricing structure as a whole and does not guarantee retention of specific pricing components if the new pricing is determined to be more advantageous based on Io.finnet's reasonable assessment.

12.2.3. Expiration of Grandfathering

At the conclusion of the Grandfathering Period, Users will be transitioned to the new pricing structure starting with the next Renewal Subscription Term. Io.finnet will notify Users before the Grandfathering Period expires.

  2. All Fees will be charged in United States Dollars (USD);
  3. Standard support is included with your subscription at no additional charge;

Add-ons are billed on a pro-rata basis for the remaining period of your current subscription term;

  • You must explicitly agree to the applicable charges before an add-on is activated;
  • Once activated, an add-on remains in effect until the end of your current subscription term and renews along with your subscription unless cancelled.

- Cancelling an add-on does not entitle you to a refund, but you can disable it to prevent renewal in the next billing cycle.

By subscribing to Io.vault, you authorize Io.finnet to charge your designated payment method for the full amount of your subscription on the billing date corresponding to your selected subscription plan (monthly, quarterly, or yearly).
