Terms of Service
Effective Date: March 31, 2026 · Toii Social LLC · legal@gao.global
1. Agreement to Terms
By downloading, installing, or using Gaokey (“App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User”) and Toii Social LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us”), a Delaware limited liability company. These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy, Risk Disclosure, and Security Disclosure.
2. Description of Service
Gaokey is a non-custodial, device-native sovereign identity wallet that enables users to:
- Generate and manage cryptographic key pairs locally on their device
- Create and control decentralized identifiers (DIDs)
- Interact with compatible blockchain networks
- Authenticate using Passkey (FIDO2/WebAuthn) standards
- Make payments using the x402 protocol
Gaokey is software infrastructure. It is not a bank, financial institution, broker-dealer, money transmitter, investment advisor, or custodian. We do not hold, custody, manage, or have access to your assets or keys at any time.
3. No Fiduciary Relationship
The Company does not act as a fiduciary, trustee, advisor, or custodian for any user. No fiduciary relationship is created by your use of the App. The Company owes no duty of care with respect to the management, protection, or preservation of your assets, keys, or identity credentials.
4. No Control Over Blockchain Networks
The Company does not own, control, operate, or maintain any blockchain network. Transactions broadcast through Gaokey are executed on decentralized networks beyond the Company’s control. The Company is not responsible for the availability, performance, security, or continuity of any blockchain network.
5. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to use Gaokey. By using the App, you represent and warrant that:
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement
- Your use of the App does not violate any applicable law or regulation in your jurisdiction
- You are not located in, incorporated in, or a resident of any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive U.S. government sanctions, including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions
- You are not listed on any U.S. government sanctions list, including the OFAC SDN list
6. Export Controls and Sanctions Compliance
You agree to comply with all applicable U.S. export control laws and regulations, including those administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce (Bureau of Industry and Security) and the U.S. Department of Treasury (Office of Foreign Assets Control). You may not use the App in violation of any export embargo, prohibition, or restriction.
7. Non-Custodial Architecture — Critical Disclosures
Read this section carefully.
7.1 You Control Your Keys
Gaokey is non-custodial. Your private keys are generated on your device and never transmitted to the Company or any third party. This means:
- We cannot access your wallet. The Company has zero access to your private keys, seed phrases, or funds.
- We cannot recover your wallet. If you lose access to your device and your backup, your wallet is permanently inaccessible.
- We cannot reverse transactions. Blockchain transactions are irreversible. The Company has no technical ability to reverse, cancel, or modify any transaction once broadcast.
7.2 Termination Does Not Affect Keys
Termination or suspension of your access to the App does not affect your ability to access blockchain networks using your private keys outside of the App. Your private keys and on-chain assets remain solely under your control.
7.3 Pre-Mainnet Software
Gaokey is currently pre-mainnet software. An independent external security audit is planned prior to mainnet release. Until that audit is completed and results published:
- Do not use Gaokey with real funds
- Do not transfer assets of material value through the App
- Use on testnets only
By using Gaokey prior to audit completion, you explicitly acknowledge and accept this risk.
8. Third-Party Services and Smart Contracts
You may interact with third-party applications, smart contracts, or decentralized protocols through or alongside the App. The Company has no control over and is not responsible for the functionality, security, accuracy, availability, or legality of such third-party services. Any interaction with third-party services is entirely at your own risk. The Company does not audit, endorse, or make any representation regarding any smart contract, decentralized application, or third-party protocol.
9. Regulatory Uncertainty
Regulatory frameworks applicable to blockchain technology, cryptographic assets, and decentralized identity systems are evolving and subject to change. The Company makes no representations regarding the legality of your use of the App in any jurisdiction. It is your sole responsibility to determine whether your use of Gaokey complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
10. Prohibited Uses
You agree not to use Gaokey to:
- Violate any applicable federal, state, local, or international law or regulation
- Engage in money laundering, terrorist financing, or any activity that violates the Bank Secrecy Act or applicable AML regulations
- Circumvent sanctions administered by OFAC or any applicable sanctions authority
- Transmit any malware, viruses, or malicious code
- Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the App
- Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation
- Use the App in any way that could damage, disable, or impair the Company’s infrastructure or reputation
11. Intellectual Property
Gaokey, including its source code, design, trademarks, logos, and all associated intellectual property, is owned by Toii Social LLC or its licensors. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for personal use in accordance with these Terms.
12. Fees and Transactions
Gaokey itself does not charge transaction fees. However, blockchain networks charge gas fees determined by the network and not by the Company. Gas fees are non-refundable, even if a transaction fails. The Company is not responsible for fluctuations in gas fees or network congestion.
