If you are an Arpokrat user located in the United States or Canada, Arpokrat GmbH provides the Services to you in accordance with these Terms of Service.
To provide our Services (as defined below) to you through our applications, services, features, software (messaging app; digital asset wallet; OS), or website, we need you to accept these Terms of Service (“Terms”).
Since the inception of the Arpokrat application, we have built our services on strong principles of security and privacy to ensure true digital sovereignty in the current historical context.
Communication and Relays: We provide you with ways to communicate with others (messaging, voice and video calls, file sending) and to exchange cryptocurrencies via the integrated wallet. For the routing of your communications, we use relay servers (such as AMP, TURN, xFTP). These servers are blind: they transmit end-to-end encrypted data packets in volatile memory only (RAM-Only), without ever being able to read their content or identify the sender or final recipient beyond the immediate connecting IP address, which is not logged.
Sovereign, Anti-GAFAM, and Zero-Log Infrastructure: To protect you from mass surveillance, the data routing for our messaging application transits exclusively through servers located in jurisdictions we have rigorously selected for their respect for privacy: Switzerland, Malaysia, Panama, South Africa, and Iceland. Your data will not transit anywhere else. Furthermore, we guarantee total technological independence: our relays never use the infrastructure of GAFAM, Big Tech giants, or any other company under U.S. jurisdiction. This entire infrastructure operates under a strict “Zero-Log” policy (no logging) and immediate destruction of encrypted packets after transmission.
Security and Sovereignty: We ensure the security of our Services and combat abusive activities. However, to guarantee total sovereignty: no account creation is required, and no phone number or email is requested. You are identified only by a cryptographic key. We cannot identify you, identify your contacts, suspend your access, or read your messages. We encourage you to use our services responsibly and legally.
NO ACCESS TO EMERGENCY SERVICES: Our services differ significantly from your mobile, landline, and SMS services. They do not provide access to emergency services or their providers (police, fire departments, hospitals, etc.). It is your responsibility to ensure you can contact emergency services through other means.
IF YOU RESIDE IN THE UNITED STATES OR CANADA: OUR TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSE. YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND WAIVE CLASS ACTIONS (SEE THE DEDICATED SECTION BELOW).
Guaranteed Anonymity: Arpokrat completely eliminates the concept of a user identifier. You exist only as a set of temporary cryptographic keys. The confidentiality of your communications is guaranteed, and it is impossible to access your geographic location.
Age Requirement: You must be at least 13 years old to use our Services, or the age required in your country. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must read these Terms with you.
Updates and Fees: You agree to download and install updates (OTA, usually once a month), either automatically or manually. You are responsible for the costs related to your internet plan and your carrier’s data fees.
Arpokrat places a high value on your digital sovereignty. No personal data is required to use our products.
Your personal data (name, email address, and country of residence) will only be requested when purchasing ArpokratOS, exclusively to comply with Swiss tax and accounting obligations.
This data is not used for marketing purposes.
It is not associated with the messaging application and is not shared with third parties (except for Swiss tax authorities).
It is stored separately from our operating systems and is not linked to your cryptographic keys or your activity.
In accordance with the law, it is retained for 10 years and then securely deleted.
Transparency: Arpokrat periodically publishes a “Warrant Canary” on its official website, attesting that, as of a specific date, no secret surveillance order or data seizure has been received. The failure to update this signal serves as a technical warning to the user regarding the integrity of the infrastructure’s jurisdiction.
You must use our Services only for lawful, authorized, and acceptable purposes. Although we have no way to identify you or moderate your encrypted communications, failure to comply with the law or any misuse of our Services is your sole and entire responsibility.
Technical Architecture and Legal Compliance: Due to our Zero-Knowledge architecture, Arpokrat is technically unable to provide “backdoors” or facilitate the interception of communications. In accordance with the limitations set forth by laws such as CALEA (USA), we are not responsible for decrypting data for which we do not possess the cryptographic keys.
Your use of our Services is entirely at your own risk:
Messaging App: Operating without a centralized account, your communications are end-to-end encrypted. The loss of your private cryptographic keys will result in the irreversible loss of your contacts and history. Arpokrat has no technical means to recover this data.
Digital Asset Wallet: The integrated wallet is non-custodial. You are the sole holder of your private keys (Seed Phrase). Arpokrat does not have access to your funds and cannot recover them in case of loss. The purchase, sale (FIAT), and exchange (SWAP) of cryptocurrencies are provided by third-party companies and are subject to their own terms of service.
Arpokrat Operating System (OS): Installing ArpokratOS replaces your device’s original operating system. This technical process modifies the hardware and may void the manufacturer’s warranty. Arpokrat disclaims all liability for any hardware malfunction or data loss resulting from the installation.
OS Technical Specifications: You acknowledge that ArpokratOS is designed for defensive privacy. This includes the hardware and software disabling at the Kernel level of the Bluetooth, NFC, GNSS, and front-facing camera modules. The user’s activation of the “Destruction Code” or “Panic Button” triggers an immediate and irreversible cryptographic wipe of all data. Arpokrat cannot, under any circumstances, be held liable for the permanent loss of data resulting from the user’s use of these security features.
Disclaimers: We provide our services “as is,” without any express or implied warranties (merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, protection from viruses). We do not guarantee that our services will be free of errors or interruptions. We do not exercise any control over how our users use our services.
YOU RELEASE US, AS WELL AS OUR SUBSIDIARIES, EMPLOYEES, AND PARTNERS (THE “ARPOKRAT PARTIES”), FROM ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR DAMAGES, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE. IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542.
Limitation of Liability: THE ARPOKRAT PARTIES ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS.
Indemnity: You agree to indemnify the Arpokrat Parties against any third-party claims arising from your use of our Services, your violation of these Terms, or any misrepresentation made by you.
Except for users subject to the arbitration clause (United States and Canada), any dispute brought against Arpokrat will be exclusively subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of the Canton of Zug, Switzerland, and governed by Swiss law, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
Statute of Limitations: Any objection or claim must be brought as an action (or arbitration) within one year of its occurrence, or it will be permanently barred.
Availability: Our Services may be interrupted for maintenance, updates, or due to network failures or force majeure events.
Territorial Restrictions: Our services must not be used in countries where doing so would violate local laws.
Changes to the Terms: We may update these Terms. Unless otherwise required by law, you will be notified at least 30 days in advance of any changes. Continuing to use our Services constitutes acceptance.
Severability: If a provision is deemed illegal or unenforceable, it will be modified or severed without affecting the validity of the remaining provisions.
Export Control: The Arpokrat Software contains strong encryption technologies subject to international regulations. You represent and warrant that you are not a government end-user (as defined by 15 CFR § 772.1) and that you do not reside in a country subject to an embargo or export restrictions by the United States, Canada, or Switzerland. You agree not to export or re-export the Software without a prior license from the competent authorities.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IF YOU RESIDE IN THE UNITED STATES OR CANADA, YOU AGREE TO SETTLE ALL DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION (EXCEPT FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND SMALL CLAIMS DISPUTES). YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.
Federal Arbitration Act: The U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation of this section.
Notice of Dispute: Before initiating a proceeding, you must send us a notice containing: a) first and last name, b) mailing address, c) public cryptographic identifier, d) temporary contact email, e) description of the dispute, f) relief sought.
Mailing Address: Arpokrat GmbH, c/o Wadsack AG, Bahnhofstrasse 7, CH-6302, Zug, Switzerland.
Procedure: If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days, the arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules.
Opt-Out Procedure: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending us a written notification to the address above within 30 days of accepting these Terms.
These Terms of Service may be translated into several languages for the convenience of our users. In the event of any dispute, discrepancy, or conflict of interpretation between the French version and any other translated version of these Terms, the French version shall prevail and be controlling.
