Agreed terms

1. Use of the App by you is governed by the terms of this EULA but may also be subject to any rules or policies applied by any appstore provider or operator from whose site you may download the App (such a site an “Appstore”, and such rules “Appstore Rules”).
2. We may change these terms at any time without notice. Any such changes shall take effect on the next occasion that you make use of the App. Any such new terms may be displayed on-screen when you next use the App and you may be required to read and accept them in order to continue your use of the App.
3. The terms of this EULA apply to the App and to any updates or supplements to the App, unless such additions are provided pursuant to separate terms, in which case those terms shall apply. If any open-source software is included in the App or any Service, the terms of an open-source licence may override some of the terms of this EULA.
4. From time to time updates to the App may be issued through the Appstore. Depending on the update, you may not be able to use the Services until you have downloaded or streamed the latest version of the App and accepted any new terms.
5. You will be assumed to have obtained permission from the owners of any mobile telephone or handheld devices that are controlled, but not owned, by you which you may use to access or use the App. You and they may be charged by your and their service providers for internet access on the Devices. You accept responsibility in accordance with the terms of this EULA for the use of the App on any such Device, whether or not it is owned by you.
6. The terms of our privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) are incorporated into this EULA by reference and apply to your use of the App. You acknowledge and agree that internet transmissions are never completely private or secure.
7. All use of the App is subject to the terms of our Privacy Policy. Continuous, stable, secure provision of the App necessitates our collection of technical information about the Devices and related software, hardware and peripherals to enable us to improve our products and to provide any Services to you. You agree that we may contact you from time to time by email, telephone, post or SMS with information about goods or services that may be of interest to you.
8. The App or any Service may contain links to other independent third-party websites (“Third-party Sites”). Third-party Sites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for and do not endorse their content or their privacy policies (if any). You will need to make your own independent judgement regarding your interaction with any Third-party Sites, including the purchase and use of any products or services accessible through them.
9. Any words following the terms including, include, in particular or for example or any similar phrase shall be construed as illustrative and shall not limit the generality of the related general words.

1. The services offered via the App relate to the transferring of digital Tokens facilitated by blockchain technology. The App does not facilitate the storage or sending of fiat currencies.
2. The App and the Services are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”). Argent does not hold any authorisations from the FCA and the Tokens that you may store, exchange and transfer using the App are not covered or underwritten by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Accordingly, the App should not be used as a substitute for banking services, nor as a substitution for any other form of regulated financial services activity.

1. In order to receive the Services you must register and create an Account using the functionality provided via the App. The security of your Account is your own personal responsibility and Argent shall have no liability whatsoever for any failure by you to keep your passwords (or any other security keys or login information) secure and private.
2. The App provides functionality enabling you to appoint Guardians. The appointment of Guardians is your personal choice and sole responsibility.
3. Argent shall have no liability for the actions, failures or absence of Guardians and you agree that you shall be responsible for any disputes which may arise between you and a Guardian that you appoint (or any third party which may have the right to exercise any authority or control over any such Guardian).

1. You may use the ‘Argent Guard’ functionality as one of your selected Guardians. Argent Guard provides a way for you to recover your Account should you ever lose a Device.
2. Recovery of your Account using Argent Guard relies on you promptly responding to one or more electronic messages (which may be sent by SMS and/or e-mail) seeking verification of your identity (“Recovery Messages“). Failure to respond to Recovery Messages promptly, or at all, may result in the links within them becoming void, and you may be restricted from requesting further Recovery Messages for a period of time thereafter.
3. Recovery Messages may invite you to submit a unique code or identifier to Argent to verify your identity. Repeated failures to provide correct or valid identifiers may result in your Account being locked or made unavailable for a period of time.
4. Argent Guard may be used as one of your Guardians and you may choose to have additional security steps required to re-access your Account.

1. The App enables you to send and receive Tokens (each such event a “Transaction”). The choice to enter into Transactions is solely your own and you acknowledge that Argent does not offer or undertake to verify the identity of any counterparty with which you may interact. You shall have sole responsibility for identifying and verifying the counterparties to Transactions that you elect to enter into, and Argent shall have no responsibility or liability for any decision by you to send Tokens to any third party.
2. Argent shall have no liability to you in the event that you send Tokens to an unintended recipient. Argent is unable to ‘cancel’ or ‘undo’ transactions that you enter into using the App and shall have no liability for any Transactions which you enter into mistakenly.
3. Where you attempt to enter into a Transaction, there may be a delay between your initiation of that Transaction and its eventual execution. Such delays may be caused by delays inherent in the functioning of the underlying Token network across which your Transaction will be executed. Argent shall have no responsibility for any such delays, no matter how such delays may arise.
4. Where you enter into a Transaction in anticipation of receiving goods, assets or services in consideration for Tokens, Argent shall have no responsibility or liability to you in respect of that consideration. In particular Argent shall have no responsibility to you for making or facilitating any form of refund or compensatory award to you in the event that your anticipated consideration does not materialise or is of unsatisfactory quality.
5. The App facilitates Transactions of selected Tokens. Argent reserves the right to add or remove particular Tokens from the scope of the Services at any time without notice. The fact that any particular variety of Token is (or is not) featured within the scope of the Services should not be interpreted as any form of endorsement of that Token by Argent. Argent does not recommend or endorse any particular Token for any purpose.
6. Transactions of Tokens rely on the proper functioning of software protocols not owned by Argent. The relevant protocols include publicly available open source programs, and Argent disclaims all liability for any failure by those protocols to operate as expected or at all. In particular, Argent shall have no responsibility for any changes to such protocols, or any ‘forking’ of those protocols that result in multiple instances of them existing simultaneously. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for informing yourself about the operation of the relevant software protocols that underpin any Tokens that you choose to use in Transactions, and that you are solely responsible for making yourself aware of any protocol ‘forks’ and taking appropriate action to safeguard yourself from the effects of the same.
7. In consideration of you agreeing to abide by the terms of this EULA, we grant you a non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to use the App on your Devices, subject to these terms, the Privacy Policy and any applicable Appstore Rules. We reserve all other rights.

1. You accept that any transaction, transfer, or contract which you may enter into with any other User or third party shall be a private arrangement between you and that entity. Argent shall not be responsible for, nor a party to, such arrangements and the responsibility for settling any disputes arising from the same shall be solely yours. In particular you accept that Argent shall have no responsibility for verifying the identity of entities to whom you may transfer Tokens using the functionality of the App.
2. Accordingly, you release Argent from all liability for claims, liabilities and losses arising from the type of arrangements described in clause 5.1, and agree that Argent shall have no liability for, or in relation to, any dispute which may arise between you and any other user for any reason.
3. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause 5 shall be construed as barring, limiting or otherwise fettering any legal rights that a User may have to commence any form of legal action against any other User or any third party with which they may have entered into any transaction or arrangement involving Tokens.
4. Argent is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and does not provide or offer insurance cover to users.
5. Tokens may be ascribed value by third parties (either by way of a cash valuation, or a valuation expressed in other Tokens). Argent makes no representations or warranties about any valuation ascribed to Tokens, which depend entirely on the opinions of third parties. Accordingly, Argent shall have no liability for any fluctuations in the value of Tokens
