Terms of service
Please review these Terms of Service carefully. These Terms outline the conditions governing the use of whirbtc.net (hereinafter "Whir"). Accessing the Whir service, browsing the website, or sending bitcoin anonymously constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to these Terms. Whir reserves the right to revise these Terms at any time by publishing updated terms on the website. Such modifications become effective on the date they are published.
1. Bitcoin and Whir
1.1 Information on the Bitcoin network
Our Service does not independently send or receive funds; we solely facilitate interaction within the Bitcoin network based on the parameters you provide.
Once the Bitcoin network processes the transaction data you have submitted, that information is relayed to other participants and entities in the Bitcoin network.
The Service cannot be used to cancel Bitcoin transactions or retrieve funds.
1.2 Bitcoin risks
Whir has no authority over and makes no guarantees regarding Bitcoin network security. You acknowledge that operating within the Bitcoin network carries inherent risk. We cannot be held responsible for any loss of funds or profits.
A Bitcoin transaction may stay unconfirmed for a period of time (typically under an hour, but sometimes up to several days). If it remains "unconfirmed," the transaction may never finalize.
1.3 Working arrangements of the Whir service with end customers
The Service arranges a private transfer from a generated deposit address to the destination address. The Service bears no liability for any actions outside the scope described on its website or in these Terms. This covers improper sending of Bitcoin to the service address, duplicate sends, or delays in transaction confirmation.
1.4 Your passwords and security
Whir has no access to the Bitcoin wallets you use to send or receive cryptocurrency. As a result, full responsibility for wallet usage rests with you. If you require guidance regarding any irregularity, feel free to reach out to us.
1.5 The minimum age for the use of the Service
You must be at least 18 years of age, or the minimum age stipulated by applicable local law, in order to use the Whir service.
1.6 Taxes
Tax obligations are your sole responsibility. You are required to determine whether Bitcoin or cryptocurrency activity is subject to tax law in your jurisdiction. All matters concerning tax reporting and payment rest entirely with you. Whir bears no responsibility for such matters and does not offer advice on tax questions that may arise from completed operations.
