Terms of Service
BITKUB BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY Co., Ltd. (“Bitkub” or “us” or “we” or “our”) makes available to users certain services including but not limited to KUB Wallet, a decentralized wallet service developed by Bitkub (the “Wallet”). The Wallet enables the users to view addresses, access or transfer assets and information that are part of KUB Blockchain (“KUB Chain”) including provision of any additional functionality as we may add from time to time. We have developed this Terms of Service (this “TOS”) to describe the terms that govern your use of the Wallet.
Please read carefully: The Wallet is the Smart Contract Wallet operating under the Account Abstraction model. Bitkub provides the software interface, the Wallet system and related technical tools that enable the User to deploy, access and operate the User’s own Smart Contract Wallet on KUB Chain. The User is the owner of the Digital Asset associated with the Wallet and is the only party that authorizes each User Signing Operation using the User’s Credentials. Bitkub does not acquire ownership of, and does not deal for its own account in, any Digital Asset of the User, and does not initiate any User Signing Operation on its own behalf.
By using the service or clicking a button to accept or agree to this TOS, you (1) accept and agree to this TOS and any additional terms, rules and conditions of participation issued and/or amended by Bitkub from time to time; and (2) agree to the collection, use, disclosure, transfer and other handling of data and information as described in our Privacy Notice (available here). If you do not agree to this TOS, you may not access or use the Wallet. In addition, when using some features of the Wallet, you may be subject to specific additional terms and conditions applicable to those features.

This method includes any technical standard implementing such model and any similar model, replacement or equivalent standard.
