    3. USING THE SERVICES

    You are responsible for the software, Device and other hardware, Internet service and mobile data service (and all associated fees) that you need to access and use the Services. We do currently charge a fees for the Services and reserve the right to increase or decrease it in the future.

You agree you will maintain your Account information to ensure that it is always current, complete and accurate. If you provide untrue, incomplete, misleading or inaccurate information, you understand that we have the right to terminate your Account and use of the Services.   

    Your Masternodes:

    Once you create an Account, the Services will allow you to create one or more masternodes that will enable you to review information and track the value of your Digital Assets (each, a “Masternode”).  The Masternode is part of the Services.  You may create more than one Masternode and may store such Masternode(s) on your Device(s).

    You agree to protect the security of your Account and your Device.  You are also solely responsible for placing security measures on your Device. You are responsible for all use of your Account, including your login credentials (i.e., username and password) and activation codes and passwords.

    As long as you are in compliance with these Terms, you may store your private key on your Device. Pocket Node does not have access to or store your private key, and it is not stored on any system or server owned or controlled by Pocket Node. For this reason, you must back up your private key information, including your 24 word passphrase.

As such, if you lose your private key, you may permanently lose access to your Digital Assets.
