1. Bitcoin and Whir
1.1 Information on the Bitcoin network
Our Service does not send or receive money independently; we only organize the interaction within the Bitcoin network according to the conditions that you specify.
Once the Bitcoin network identifies the information on the transaction you have sent, the information is transmitted to other users and companies in the Bitcoin network.
The Service cannot be used to terminate Bitcoin transactions or recover money.
1.2 Bitcoin risks
Whir has no control over and makes no representations as to Bitcoin network security. You acknowledge that the use of the Bitcoin network entails a risk. We cannot hold ourselves responsible for lost profits.
The Bitcoin transaction can remain unconfirmed during a certain period (usually less than an hour but occasionally up to several days). It can never be completed if it remains "unconfirmed."
1.3 Working arrangements of the Whir service with end customers
The Service organizes a non-public transfer from a generated deposit address to the recipient address. The Service is not liable for any operation beyond the scope described on its website or these Terms. These include undue sending of Bitcoin to the service address, resending, or delay in confirmation of your transaction.
1.4 Your passwords and security
Whir has no access to your Bitcoin wallets which you used for sending or receiving of cryptocurrencies. Consequently, all the responsibility for the use of your wallets lies with you. Should you need any consultation on irregularity, do not hesitate to contact us.
