Terms of Service

Last Updated: July 28, 2026

1. Non-Custodial Nature

AetherVault is a non-custodial platform. We provide the user interface to interact with Smart Contracts on the Polygon network. We never hold, store, or have control over your $AETH tokens or other digital assets in your wallet. Losing access to your wallet is entirely your responsibility.

2. Time Capsule & Dead Man's Switch System

When you create a Time Capsule, you agree that the Smart Contract will lock the message based on your specified time parameters. For 'Legacy' Tier users (Inheritance System), the responsibility for entering the correct heir wallet address rests entirely in your hands. Typos in the heir wallet address are irreversible On-Chain.

3. Network Gas Fees and Auto-Burn

Every transaction within the AetherVault ecosystem (creating capsules, staking, or claiming rewards) requires network Gas Fees in the form of POL coins. Additionally, you agree that creating a capsule will trigger the Auto-Burn protocol, where a portion of the $AETH tokens you pay will be permanently burned and destroyed from the total network supply. These fees are non-refundable.

4. Smart Contract Risk

Although our Smart Contract code is equipped with an Anti-Reentrancy Guard and designed with the highest security standards, interacting with blockchain technology always carries inherent risks regarding undiscovered coding vulnerabilities. Users agree to use this dApp at their own risk (as is).
