Agreement to these terms

By accessing the BitSettle website or using the BitSettle service (together, the “Services”), you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of a business, you confirm that you are authorized to bind that business to these terms.

Definitions

“BitSettle,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the BitSettle service operated by Bitcoin Lawyer LLC. “You” and “merchant” refer to the business or individual using the Services. A “settlement wallet” is the cryptocurrency wallet you designate and control, to which payments settle. A “watched address” is a public address or token contract that BitSettle monitors on your behalf.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of entering into a binding agreement. You must not be subject to sanctions administered by OFAC, the EU, the UN, the UK, or any other applicable authority, and you must not be located in a comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction. You agree to provide truthful information. Providing false information may result in immediate suspension or termination of the Services.

Description of the Services

BitSettle provides payment-infrastructure services. The written engagement identifies the methods, integration, hosting, monitoring, support, and records included.

An on-chain receive-only configuration can monitor public receiving details while signing keys remain with the merchant. Lightning, hot wallets, and connected node permissions require their own control and recovery review. Technical documentation describes capabilities and reference configurations, not a guarantee that every method is enabled or available.

BitSettle does not provide a bank or exchange account. The technical service does not itself provide legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice. Any separate professional engagement has its own terms.

Wallet control and responsibilities

We never ask you to provide merchant seed phrases or private keys. The engagement must identify the receiving wallet, who controls it, required access permissions, and backup and recovery responsibilities. The receive-only adapter does not itself authorize outgoing transfers.

Do not assume that every component of a payment setup is watch-only. Lightning wallets, hot wallets, and connected nodes can have spending capability. Review that configuration before activation. You are responsible for the wallets and keys under your control and for confirming receiving details and the intended network.

We cannot reverse a blockchain transaction or restore a lost wallet simply by changing an invoice record. Recovery and any agreed operating assistance depend on the actual configuration and engagement.

Acceptable use

You agree that you will not use the Services to:

  • violate any applicable law, regulation, or sanctions program;
  • facilitate money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or tax evasion;
  • infringe the intellectual-property or other rights of any party;
  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services, probe or scan their infrastructure, or interfere with their operation; or
  • misrepresent your identity, your business, or the nature of the payments you process.

You are responsible for the goods and services you sell and for your compliance with the laws that apply to your business.

Payments and settlement

BitSettle detects and reports payments; it does not guarantee that any payment will be made, confirmed, or be of a particular value. Blockchain transactions are irreversible and are subject to network fees, confirmation times, congestion, and price volatility that are outside our control. Stablecoins such as USDT are issued by third parties whose controls, including the ability to freeze balances, are outside our control. You are responsible for reconciling settled amounts against your own records and for any network or wallet fees.

Service fees

Fees and included work are set out in the written quote, order, or agreement before onboarding. Network, wallet, liquidity, exchange-rate, conversion, and third-party costs may be separate; the quote identifies any costs included in the service.

Joining the early-access list does not reserve a place, activate an account, guarantee a launch date, or lock in a rate. Any specific price protection applies only on the terms expressly agreed in writing. Subject to such an agreement, we may change service fees on reasonable notice; continued use after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance.

Your obligations

You agree to keep your account credentials and settlement-wallet keys secure, to provide accurate configuration information, to monitor your own settlement, and to comply with all laws applicable to your use of the Services. You are responsible for determining what tax, reporting, licensing, or regulatory obligations apply to your acceptance of cryptocurrency payments.

Intellectual property

The BitSettle name, logo, website, and the materials we publish are owned by Bitcoin Lawyer LLC or its licensors and are protected by applicable law. The underlying open-source components remain governed by their respective licenses. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our proprietary materials without our prior written consent.

Third-party services

The Services rely on third-party infrastructure, including blockchain networks, node and RPC providers, and stablecoin issuers. We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their availability, conduct, or decisions, including network downtime, reorganizations, or issuer actions that affect a token balance.

Disclaimers

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that payment detection will be timely or complete in every circumstance.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bitcoin Lawyer LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or funds, arising out of or relating to your use of the Services. You are responsible for the wallets and keys under your control; any agreed operating duties are identified in the engagement. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of the fees you paid to us for the Services in the twelve months preceding the claim or one hundred United States dollars. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, in which case our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Bitcoin Lawyer LLC and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, or expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your use of the Services, your violation of these terms, your violation of any law, or your sale of goods or services to your customers.

Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time for violation of these terms, suspected unlawful or sanctioned activity, non-payment, or risk to the integrity or security of the Services. Termination does not transfer ownership of your wallet to us. Your ability to receive through other means depends on the wallet, network, and dependencies you control. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law, will survive.

Sanctions and compliance

You represent that you and your beneficial owners are not subject to applicable sanctions and that you will not use the Services to evade them. We may decline or terminate the Services for any party that appears on an applicable sanctions list and will cooperate with lawful requests from competent authorities.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact us in writing and to attempt in good faith to resolve the matter for a period of sixty days. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking equitable relief to protect its intellectual property.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date above. Material changes will be communicated by reasonable means. Your continued use of the Services after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any order or engagement you enter with us, constitute the entire agreement between you and Bitcoin Lawyer LLCregarding the Services.
