Please read on to learn the rules and restrictions that govern your use of our products, services and applications, including, but not limited to, use and access of the Plena Finance (hereinafter referred to as “Plena”) digital wallet mobile application, web application, decentralized application, smart contracts, respective App, features and programmes emanating therefrom and related thereto, as further described below (hereinafter referred to as “Application”, “App”) and our web interface located at https://plena.finance (“Site”).
These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and Plena. As used in these Terms, “we”, “us”, or “our” also refers to Plena and “you” and “your” refers to anybody who accesses or uses, in any way, the Application. If you are accessing or using the App on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms and, in that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that entity. You must agree to and accept all of the Terms, or you don’t have the right to use our Application. Your use of the Application in any way means that you agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Application. These Terms include the provisions in this document, as well as those in our Privacy Policy and Disclosure Policy which are deemed to be incorporated in these Terms, and any other terms and conditions that we may reference or incorporate into these Terms from time to time.
The Application provides self-hosted wallet App for Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon Network, Optimism, and other blockchains with respective services provided in relation thereto (the “Wallet”). By creating or importing a Wallet, downloading or running our mobile application, you are agreeing to our Terms, thereof careful reading of the Terms is highly advisable. These terms outline approved uses of Application, various licenses that we grant to you, and licenses that you grant us. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use or access the App.
The terms contain an arbitration provision. By agreeing to these terms, you agree and understand that disputes arising under these terms shall be settled in binding arbitration. You also agree and understand that entering into this agreement constitutes a waiver of your right
to a trial before a court of law or participation in a class action lawsuit or a jury trial. Please review Clause 11 below for details regarding arbitration.
Upon your consent to the present Terms for using or accessing the Application, you state that (a) you are at least 18 years of age; (b) you are not violating any statutory or regulatory laws in your jurisdiction by using the Application; (c) you are not a Restricted Person; and (d) you are not located, established or registered in any of the jurisdictions enlisted below titled “Prohibited Localities”.
General – You may not use the Application if you are otherwise barred from using the Application under applicable law.
Legality – You are solely responsible for following all laws and regulations applicable to you and your use or access of the App. If your use or access of the App conflicts with any applicable law, rule or regulation, you may not use the App.
By using or accessing the App, you represent to us that you are not subject to the Sanction Lists and you are not a Restricted Person, as defined below. “Sanction Lists” means any sanctions designations listed on economic/ trade embargo lists and/ or specially designated persons/ blocked persons lists published by the international organisations, as well as any state and governmental authorities of any jurisdiction, including, but not limited to the lists of United Nations, European Union and its Member States, United States and United Kingdom sanctions lists. You hereby represent that you shall at all times, regularly, at your own motion advise the Sanction Lists and conduct the necessary analysis as to whether any limitations from the Sanction Lists apply to you and whether you are allowed, and if yes, in which manner to use the Application. You must search specific jurisdictions and sanctions applicable thereto separately, including, but by no means limited to the sanctions databases: UN, OFAC, EU and UK. You at your own discretion may need to seek professional advice to determine whether the sanctions apply. You hereby accept any liability caused by your failure to check, determine and respectively apply sanction limitations to you or your entity.
We make no representations or warranties that the information, products, Content (as defined below) or App provided are appropriate for access or use in other jurisdictions. We are keen with trying our best to adhere to the legislative requirements around the world. In this regard, we are forced to allow our App only to those users, whose countries allow to operate with Virtual Currency (as defined below) at all. Thus, seeking for the maximum possible compliance, user`s identity/location verification will fail if you are located in a market where Virtual Currencies are banned/restricted by local regulations.
Prohibited Localities – Plena cannot on board corporate accounts of entities or personal accounts located in, established in, or a resident of Albania, Antigua & Barbuda, Algeria, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Belarus, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Central African Republic, China, Columbia, Crimea Region, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ecuador, Eritrea, Republic of Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Libya, Mainland China, Macedonia, Micronesia, Mali, Morocco, Burma (Myanmar), Nauru, Netherlands Antilles, Nicaragua, Namibia, Nepal, North Korea, Pakistan, Singapore, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria, Uganda, Venezuela, Vietnam, Western Sahara, Yemen, Zimbabwe or any other state, country or region that is included in the Sanction Lists.
Restricted Persons – Plena does not on board accounts of entities or personal accounts, which have been previously classified or otherwise identified by international organizations or any state and governmental authorities of any jurisdiction, as belonging or affiliated with the persons specially designated or otherwise included in the Sanction Lists (“Restricted Persons”). For the purposes of these Terms, Restricted Persons shall also include all persons or entities who reside in, are citizens of, are incorporated in, or have a registered office in the Prohibited Localities.
Non-Circumvention – You agree not to access the Application using any technology for the purposes of circumventing these Terms.
The Application is a Wallet that allows you to send and receive Virtual Currency, browse the Web and submit transaction data to Blockchain Networks. As the bottom line, the main purpose of App is to make it easier for casual users, you, to handle and operate Virtual Currency. The only goal of ours is to help every user to access the decentralized world. We have no oversight, involvement, or control with respect to your Virtual Currency, or related transactions including instructions made through the Application. We do not store, send, or receive Virtual Currency. All the transfers occur on the Blockchain Networks, which are not owned by us. The App may also allow you buy Virtual Currencies for fiat currencies through third-party providers and they are the only ones responsible for those transactions. We take no part in those transactions and we take no responsibility for their proper execution or any other issues regarding these transactions. You may agree to receive push notifications from us. We may solely change how we operate the App.
The Application is a software that:
generates Wallet addresses and encrypted private keys that you may use to send and receive at Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon Network, Optimism, Arbitrum and for related cryptographically secured cryptocurrency, digital tokens or digital assets (the “Virtual Currency”);
allows users to browse the Internet and access any websites available on the web (“Web” or “Content”) through the mobile application’s browser; and
facilitates the submission of Virtual Currency transaction data to Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon Network, Optimism, and other blockchains (the “Blockchain Networks”) without requiring you to download or install the associated Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon Network, Optimism, or any other blockchain -based software to your local device.
The Application may occasionally include other features added solely for the purposes of user experience development, including for the entertainment and informational purposes, which are not intended to affect the main purpose or features of the Application described above.
Your use of the Application is at your own risk and solely at your sole discretion. When you create a Wallet in the App, you will be assigned a private key. You will be prompted to download and save mnemonic. You will be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your mnemonic, and will be fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account.
Blockchain Networks Transactions – In order to be completed, all Virtual Currency transactions must be confirmed and recorded in the Virtual Currency’s associated public blockchain. Such networks are decentralized, peer-to-peer networks supported by independent third parties, which we do not own, control, or operate. We have no control over the blockchain networks and, therefore, cannot and do not ensure that any transaction details that you submit via the Application will be confirmed and processed. By using the Application, you acknowledge and agree that the transaction details you submit may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed, by the blockchain networks.
We do not store, transfer, transmit, convert, broker, hold, escrow, mint, mine, or otherwise interact with any Virtual Currency, security, financial instrument, or other digital or physical asset and all the interactions are performed on the third-party platforms, subject to any associated third-party terms. Any transfer that occurs in any Virtual Currency occurs on the blockchain network and not on a network owned by us. We therefore do not guarantee that we can affect the transfer of title or right in any Virtual Currency. You accept and acknowledge that we are not responsible for any errors or omissions that you make in connection with any Virtual Currency transaction initiated via the App. We strongly encourage you to review your transaction details carefully before attempting to transfer a Virtual Currency.
Completion of transactions that you instruct for through the App also depends on the availability and operation of the blockchain networks. Errors or forks in the blockchain networks may cause transactions that you initiate through the App to fail. This may mean that the transaction you were originally intending to perform will no longer be available. Unfortunately, due to the decentralised nature of the blockchain networks, there is no one single point of failure, and so neither we nor any particular party will be responsible to you for errors or any losses that you suffer as a result.
Buying Virtual Currencies – The App may also allow you to buy Virtual Currencies for fiat currencies through third-party providers active in the App. You agree that those functionalities may be available only in countries approved by respective active third-party providers on the one hand, and us on the other hand. In order to sell Virtual Currencies through the App, you will need to accept and consent to the terms of use and privacy policy, alongside with any other applicable user agreements of respective active third party providers available at respective active third-party providers’ websites or pages. You will enter into a direct contractual relationship with respective active third-party providers if you decide to sell Virtual Currencies through the App.
Although we facilitate your access to these services of respective active third-party providers, we, by no means are responsible for them and take no part in the transactions performed by them (even if instructed for in the App). You agree and understand that the functionalities available in the App to sell
Virtual Currencies are not provided directly by us and are the only responsibility of our third-party providers, including respective active third-party providers. We cannot and do not guarantee that the transaction instructed in the App, which is performed exclusively by the providers will be executed successfully, error-free and timely. You acknowledge that we bare no responsibility for the actions of our providers, the execution of the transaction or any other issues related to the transaction involving purchase of Virtual Currencies for fiat currencies, including any losses or damage incurred.
We and the Application are not a Virtual Currencies exchange and are not responsible for the transactions made through respective active third-party providers or other providers.
Push Notifications – You may agree to receive push notifications from the Application. If you would like to receive push notifications, you must opt in to the service by accessing “Settings” on your device and enabling “Push Notifications”. You can select to have alerts pushed to your device or only alert you within the App.
We reserve the right in our sole and absolute discretion to make changes to how we operate and provide our App`s functionality, including adding new App, modifying existing App, or suspending, discontinuing, or terminating your access to any or all portions of our App`s functionality. Some of our Application may be subject to additional terms and conditions, which are posted separately from these terms but are incorporated and form a part of these Terms if you decide to use or access those features.
Plena encrypts the mnemonic (“which is used to generate private keys”) locally, that we never send to our servers. Alternatively, the information could be stored in encrypted form in Apple iCloud if it was enabled. The private key is connected to the Wallet address and, together, they can be used to authorize the transfer of Virtual Currency to and from that Wallet address. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your private key and any mnemonic (backup) phrase associated with your Wallet. You must keep your Wallet address, mnemonic (backup) phrase, and private key access information secure. Failure to do so may result in the loss of control of Virtual Currencies associated with the Wallet.
Plena stores your Wallet address but does not receive or store your Wallet password, encrypted private key, unencrypted private key, or mnemonic (backup) phrase associated with your Wallet. We cannot, therefore, assist you with Wallet password retrieval. We cannot generate a new password for your Wallet if you fail to remember your original password. If you have not safely stored a backup of any Wallet address and private key pairs maintained in your Wallet, you accept and acknowledge that any Virtual Currency you have associated with such a Wallet address will become inaccessible if you do not have your Wallet password. However, Plena may optionally use Apple CloudKit to sync data between your Apple devices (iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch). Your data is stored in a private database, which is encrypted with an account-based key and additionally encrypted with a user-provided passphrase. Therefore, we do not have access to any data stored in your iCloud account. We also do not have access to your Apple ID.
When you create a Wallet, you are strongly advised to take precautions in order to avoid loss of access to and/ or control over your Wallet. Suggested measures include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) using the backup functionality provided by the Wallet or safeguard your private key and mnemonic (backup) phrase on an external hard drive which, all users, especially users who have more than $10,000 USD in assets, are encouraged to do even if they are utilizing the App backup functionality; (b) maintaining the security of your Wallet by protecting the private key and mnemonic (backup) phrase associated with your Wallet by, for example, limiting access to your computer and your Wallet; and (c) promptly notifying us if you discover or otherwise suspect any security breaches related to your Wallet.
By using or accessing the Application, you represent and warrant that you understand that there are inherent risks associated with Virtual Currency, and the underlying technologies including, without limitation, cryptography and blockchain (and their storage mechanism such as digital wallets), and you agree that the Plena is not responsible for any losses or damages associated with these risks. You specifically acknowledge and agree that we have no control over any blockchain, Blockchain Networks or Virtual Currencies and cannot and do not ensure that any interaction via our Application will be confirmed on the relevant blockchain. Without limiting the foregoing, you specifically understand and hereby represent your acknowledgement of the following: Plena cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these Terms or the failure of any blockchain or the Blockchain Networks.
You agree to (a) never use the same password for a Wallet that you have ever used outside of this service, if any, (b) keep your secret information and password confidential and do not share them with anyone else and (c) immediately notify Plena of any unauthorized use of your account or breach of security.
In order to allow other users to have a full and positive experience of using the Application you agree that you will not use the Application in a manner that:
Infringes or violates the intellectual property rights or any other rights of anyone else (including us);
Is illegal, harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable;
Violates law provisions regarding money-laundering, drug trafficking, human trafficking, weapon trafficking, terrorism, securities fraud, or tax evasion;
Jeopardizes the security of your wallet or anyone else’s (such as allowing someone else to log in to the Application as you);
Attempts, in any manner, to obtain the private key, password, account, or other security information from any other user, including such information about the digital wallet; - Violates the security of any computer network, or cracks any passwords or security encryption codes; or
Decompiles, reverse engineers, or otherwise attempt to obtain the source code or underlying ideas or information of or relating to the Application.
A violation of any of the foregoing is grounds for termination of your right to use or access the Application to the extent possible. However, in no event do we have the ability to access or suspend your access to your own Wallet, and you are always entitled to use your Wallet on other services.
In no way does Plena earn a commission on users` transactions or storage of Virtual Currency or for the use of the Wallet itself. However, you may incur associated fees, if you use certain functionality accessible through the Application. While we do not charge fees for access to the Application, the following charges may be involved while using the Application:
Blockchain Charges – In connection with your use of the Application, you agree to bear all costs necessary to conduct a transaction, such as "gas" cost on the Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon Network, Optimism, and other blockchain networks, for the computational resources required to perform a transaction on the particular blockchain network. We will try to provide you with the accurate estimates of these charges for your information, but this information is highly volatile and can change quickly and we cannot and do not guarantee the accuracy, stability, availability of this information. You specifically acknowledge and agree that the Plena has no control over:
any transactions within the Blockchain Networks;
The calculation or method of payment of any gas charges;
or Any actual payments of gas charges. You must ensure that you have a sufficient balance of Virtual Currency stored at your Wallet Address to complete any transaction on the blockchain networks before initiating such blockchain transaction.
Charges by Providers – As stated above, the App may also allow you to buy Virtual Currencies for fiat currencies via respective active third-party providers. We do not take part in these transactions and respectively are not responsible for any fees involved. We cannot and do not guarantee the fee rates applied by these providers, and it is of your responsibility to check them when you make the sale. Please consult their terms and user agreement for further information.

We make no guarantee as to the functionality or security of the blockchain network or the Application, which could, among other things, lead to loss of funds, hacks, delays, conflicts of interest, or operational decisions by third parties that are unfavorable to certain owners of Virtual Currency, or lead to your inability to complete a transaction using our Application. However, we strive to and are continually working towards eliminating such third party risks.

The applicability of existing legal and regulatory requirements to Virtual Currency and our Application is developing and evolving.

We may, in our reasonable opinion, determine that a Force Majeure Event exists. A “Force Majeure Event” will include, but is not limited to, the following: (i) any act, event or occurrence (including without limitation any strike, riot or civil unrest, act of terrorism, war, industrial action, acts and regulations of any governmental or supra national bodies or authorities) that, in our opinion, prevents us from providing the Application; (ii) the suspension or closure of any exchange or the nationalisation, government sequestration, abandonment or failure of any instrument on which we are base, or to which we in any way relate, our quote, or the imposition of limits or special or unusual terms on the trading in any such market or on any such event; (iii) the occurrence of an excessive movement in the level of any transaction and/or exchange or our anticipation (acting reasonably) of the occurrence of such a movement; (iv) any breakdown or failure of transmission, communication or computer facilities, interruption of power supply, or electronic or communications equipment failure; or (v) the failure of any relevant supplier, financial institution, intermediate broker, agent or principal of ours, custodian, sub-custodian, dealer, exchange, clearing house or regulatory or self-regulatory organisation, for any reason, to perform its obligations.
If we determine that a Force Majeure Event exists, we may without notice and at any time, acting reasonably, take such steps as we deem reasonable to mitigate any adverse effects of the Force Majeure Event, but shall not be liable to you for the nature of such decisions or any related acts of omissions.
You agree that we will not be liable in any way to you or to any other person in the event of a Force Majeure Event, nor for our actions pursuant to this section if we decide to take such action. The Cake Affiliates shall be released of all responsibilities for partial or full non-fulfilment, as well as for improper fulfilment of the obligations under these Terms if such partial or non- fulfilment or improper fulfilment was a result of a Force Majeure Event.

The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You acknowledge and agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and Plena, and that it supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms.
