By accessing and using Ves ("the Service"), operated by Arranca IO LLC ("we", "us", or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Ves is a secure handoff tool that allows users to create encrypted handoff pages containing credentials, documentation, and other assets. The Service uses zero-knowledge encryption, meaning data is encrypted in your browser before transmission.

3. User Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and passphrase. You must provide accurate information when creating an account and keep your information up to date. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account.

4. Zero-Knowledge Encryption and Data Recovery

Important: Due to our zero-knowledge encryption architecture, we cannot access, view, or recover your encrypted data. If you lose your passphrase, your encrypted data cannot be recovered by anyone, including us. You acknowledge and accept this limitation as a fundamental feature of the Service's security model.

You are solely responsible for securely storing your passphrases and ensuring you can access them when needed.

5. Acceptable Use

11. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive.
