Algoosh Terms of Use

IMPORTANT NOTICE — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. By accessing or using Algoosh (including connecting a wallet or signing any transaction), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not access or use Algoosh.

0) Global Maximum-Extent Rule (Applies to Every Risk-Shifting Provision)

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, all disclaimers, waivers, releases, limitations of liability, risk allocations, and indemnities in these Terms apply as broadly as legally allowed. If any part is unlawful or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, it will be enforced to the greatest lawful extent permitted and the rest will remain in effect.

1) Summary (Non-Binding)

This Summary is for convenience only and does not modify the binding Terms.

Non-custodial. Algoosh never takes custody of funds, private keys, goods, or delivery.
Smart-contract escrow. Payments and order state changes occur via user-authorized Algorand blockchain transactions and are generally irreversible.
End-to-end encryption. Sensitive order data (e.g., delivery address + purchased items) is encrypted on your device; loss of keys or device may be irreversible and Algoosh cannot recover them.
User-to-user marketplace. Buyers and Sellers transact directly. Algoosh is not the merchant, reseller, shipper, carrier, broker, agent, or fiduciary.
Fees/tokens may change. Tokens supported, fees, and protocol behavior may change, including via smart contract upgrades, UI changes, and network conditions.
