Terms of Service

Last Updated: January 2026

Welcome to Deheritance. By accessing or using our platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully, as they govern your use of our decentralized digital legacy protocol.

1. Nature of Service

Deheritance provides an interface for interacting with decentralized storage networks and encryption protocols. We help you encrypt and store data, but we do not control the data once it is stored on the distributed ledger.

2. User Responsibilities

2.1 Your Keys, Your Responsibility

You acknowledge that Deheritance is a non-custodial service. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your private keys, seed phrases, and passwords. If you lose these credentials, Deheritance cannot recover your access.

2.2 Compliant Content

You agree not to use the service to store illegal, malicious, or harmful content. While we cannot decrypt your files to police them, you bear full legal liability for the content you choose to store.

3. One-Time Payment Model

Deheritance operates on a "pay once, store forever" model.

  • Fees paid for storage endowments are non-refundable once the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain.
  • Because we pay the storage network (e.g., Arweave) upfront for permanent storage, we cannot reverse these costs.

4. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Deheritance shall not be liable for:

  • Any loss of data caused by user error (e.g., lost keys).
  • Failures of the underlying decentralized networks (e.g., blockchain forks, downtime of the Arweave network).
  • Unauthorization access resulting from your failure to secure your device or keys.

5. Changes to Protocol

Deheritance reserves the right to update the interface and protocol features. However, due to the immutable nature of the storage, previously stored data will remain accessible through the protocol regardless of interface changes.

6. Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with standard international digital asset regulations, without regard to conflict of law principles.
