Please read these Terms carefully — they form a binding agreement between you and Mist Labs for your use of Mist Wallet.
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Mist Wallet, related software, websites, and services (collectively, the “Services”). By installing, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
Plain English: using Mist means you accept these rules. You can uninstall anytime if you disagree.
Mist is a non-custodial wallet. Your private keys, seed phrase, and passcodes are generated and stored on your device. They are never sent to us. We cannot access, recover, reset, or reissue your keys or assets.
Critical: Lost seed = lost access. Write it down offline and store in multiple secure places.
Software License. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the desktop application solely for personal or internal business purposes, in accordance with these Terms.
Open Source Components. Mist includes or interacts with open-source libraries governed by their respective licenses. Where required, license texts and notices are provided in the app bundle or repository.

You agree not to use the Services to, or in connection with:
We may disable or limit features to protect users, networks, or comply with law.
Using blockchains requires paying network fees (e.g., gas). Fees are paid to network validators or miners, not to us. You are responsible for any applicable taxes arising from your use of the Services or digital assets.
| Cost Type | Who Receives It | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Network gas | Validators / miners | Variable; depends on network demand. |
| Third-party service fees | Service provider | Applies to swaps, bridges, or fiat on-ramps if used. |
| Taxes | Your jurisdiction | You are responsible for filings and payments. |
You understand and accept the inherent risks of cryptographic systems, smart contracts, and public blockchains, including but not limited to:
You are responsible for due diligence, backups, and verifying recipients and contracts.
The Services may link to or integrate third-party services (exchanges, bridges, data providers, hardware wallets). We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content or performance. Your use of any third-party service is subject to their terms and privacy policies.
AS IS / AS AVAILABLE. The Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free operation; accuracy or completeness of information; or that vulnerabilities will be corrected.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Mist Labs or its affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of the Services.
Our aggregate liability for any claims relating to the Services shall not exceed the greater of (a) USD $100 or (b) the amount you paid to us (if any) for the Services in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Mist Labs and its affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Services, violation of these Terms, or violation of any law or third-party right.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Switzerland, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The competent courts of Zürich, Switzerland shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory law provides otherwise.
At either party’s election, disputes may be finally resolved under the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration by one arbitrator in Zürich, English language. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You may stop using the Services at any time by uninstalling the application. We may suspend or terminate access (in whole or part) if we believe you have violated these Terms, created risk or possible legal exposure for us or other users, or to comply with law.
Upon termination, provisions that by their nature should survive (e.g., IP, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnities, governing law) will remain in effect.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We’ll indicate the “Last updated” date at the top. Material changes may be announced in-app or on our website. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
