Bit Wand
Product and Application Terms of Use and Services
Last Updated: 3 January, 2025
IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Bit Wand NFC Cards (“Card”) are a non-custodial digital asset access card system. The Bit Wand is designed to be used in conjunction with the Bit Wand Mobile Application (“Mobile Application or Application”) for iOS and Android devices, enabling you to access your digital assets securely and efficiently.
These Terms (“Terms”) outline the terms and conditions governing your use of the Bit Wand Mobile Application, and associated services (collectively, the "Services"). You, as the user of the Services, shall be referred to as “You” or “the User”. These Terms constitute a legally binding contract made between you and Anywhere Blockchain Corp. (“Anywhere Blockchain Corp,” “we,” or “us”) that governs your access to and use of the Services. By using the Services in any way, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not accept the terms and conditions of these Terms, you are not permitted to access or otherwise use the Services.
User Notice:
The Bit Wand card, tag, or device you have purchased or otherwise received is a non-custodial digital asset access card that may be used for managing digital assets, authorizing digital asset transactions, managing passwords, and two-factor authentication.
It is essential to always follow the terms of its use to reduce the risk of losing your protected information. You acknowledge that, in order to provide you with the maximum level of protection, you will not be able to access the protected information without your Card.
You acknowledge that, unlike when using any other services or opening a bank account, your protected information (and by extension access to your digital assets) is unrecoverable if (1) your Card is lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, or (2) you forget any personal identifying information related to the Services such as your Card Account Password.
Anywhere Blockchain Corp shall not be held liable for any loss, theft, or damage to personal information or property arising from the use of the Services. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for safeguarding your personal information and property when using the Services. While Anywhere Blockchain Corp implements security measures to protect our systems and user data, we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access, hacking, theft, or other forms of cybercrime. Accordingly, Anywhere Blockchain Corp disclaims any and all liability for any direct, indirect, or consequential losses resulting from theft or misuse of personal information or property while using the Services.
1. Your Card.
The Card is a digital asset access card. The Card allows you to access funds loaded or deposited to your Card Account Address. If you purchase a prepaid card from Anywhere Blockchain Corp, the Card Account Address accessed by your Card and associated Account Password will contain an equivalent value of Bitcoin (“BTC”) in exchange for the amount paid to Anywhere Blockchain Corp. Anywhere Blockchain Corp. never custodies the BTC on your Card, and we cannot access the digital assets on your Card Account Address on your behalf after purchase. The Card is not a credit card. The Card is not a gift card. You will not receive any interest on the digital assets on the Card. The digital assets in your Card Account will not expire.
2. Card Account Addresses.
Each Card Account Address is created using the unique information written to your card. For cybersecurity purposes we cannot help retrieve digital assets associated with your Card Account Address. It is your responsibility to retain possession of your Card. Anywhere Blockchain Corp will not be responsible in any way for lost Cards, or the digital assets related to your Card Account Address.
3. Card Account Use and Purpose.
Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, you may use your Card, as applicable, to (1) add funds to your Card Account Address (as described in the Section below titled “Adding Funds to Your Card Account Address”), (2) transfer funds between Account Addresses. There may be fees associated with some of these transactions. For fee information, see the “Schedule of All Fees and Charges” (Schedule A) attached to this Agreement.
The Services are designed and intended for lawful purposes only. You agree to comply with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, regulations, and rules. You agree not to use the Services for illegal gambling or any other illegal purpose. You agree to use the Services for personal use only and not for any business or commercial purposes. Anywhere Blockchain Corp. expressly disclaims any liability for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Services.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services is legal and complies with all relevant laws. We shall not be held liable for any loss, damage, or legal consequences arising from illegal use of the Services.
4. BTC Usage Acknowledgement.
We use BTC as the digital asset accessed by our Cards. Bitcoin is a blockchain transaction network that does not require the use of banks to transact value. More information can be found here: https://bitcoin.org/en/
Anywhere Blockchain Corp provides services independent of any financial institutions or blockchain networks, and we do not assume any responsibility or liability for the stability, performance, or solvency of these systems. You acknowledge and agree that Anywhere Blockchain Corp is not responsible for any delays, losses, or other issues arising from the failure of any bank, financial institution, payment service provider, or other third party involved in the processing of digital asset transactions, or any other scenario causing BTC to increase or decrease in value.
In the event of any bank failures, insolvency, financial crisis, blockchain outages, network outages, or other financial or systemic problems affecting your ability to access funds or complete transactions, Anywhere Blockchain Corp. shall not be liable for any resulting losses, damages, or delays. You are responsible for ensuring that you maintain appropriate backup plans or alternative arrangements for any disruptions in financial services.You are responsible for monitoring the risk associated with using BTC, and making your choice whether to exchange BTC for USD in a bank account, or keep the BTC on the Card Account Address accessible by your Card.
Furthermore, Anywhere Blockchain Corp does not provide any guarantees or warranties regarding the availability, functionality, or reliability of third-party financial services.
5. Limitations on Dollar Amounts of Transactions.
The total amount of purchases that you can perform in any single day is limited to $10,000, and any single transaction cannot exceed the value of $3,000 due to Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) regulation compliance limits.
6. Adding BTC to Your Card Account Address.
You may add BTC to your Card (called “Value Loading” or “Loading”) at any time using a variety of digital asset service providers to send BTC to your Card Account Address. We are not responsible for any loss of BTC due to network or user error on your behalf.
We are not in control of your limit to send BTC from external accounts, however FinCen regulations allow a maximum of $3,000 per transaction and $10,000 per day from digital asset service providers without Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering (“KYC/AML”) requirements. If you are found to be violating these thresholds, we may be legally required to restrict your access to the Services. We are not liable for any loss of BTC due to the legal ramifications of complying with these restrictions.
7. Third Party Loading and Withdrawal Services.
In the application, we provide access to Transak, a third-party service that allows for the purchase and withdrawal of BTC to your Card Account Address or to your bank account from your Card Account Address.
We are not responsible for any part of your relationship with Transak, and your use of their service is subject to their terms of service and privacy policy found here: https://transak.com/
8. Peer to Peer Transactions.
Anywhere Blockchain Corp is not a payment intermediary or a money transmitter. We facilitate a peer to peer transaction on the cardholder’s behalf directed to the cardholder’s intended recipient. We never custody or accept digital assets on your behalf, either for access through a Card and a Card Account Password, through our Card Accept Accounts, or during a peer to peer payment in exchange for goods and services between parties.
Our software facilitates the process of digital signature necessary to cryptographically authorize peer to peer transactions on blockchain networks.
9. Card Accept Accounts:
Individuals wishing to receive a peer to peer payment from a Cardholder may use our Card Accept Account service. We will generate an authorization key that is stored on your mobile device, but is only accessible from the mobile device on which this account was generated. We strongly recommend this only be used for temporary storage of BTC, and we are not responsible for loss of BTC if the user loses access to their BTC from this account for any reasons including, but not limited to: Loss of mobile device, deleting and reinstalling the application, fishing attacks, or cybersecurity breaches.
10. Fees:
Anywhere Blockchain Corp. will receive a 2% fee for loading BTC to a Card Account through Transak. Other third party services and Transak may incur additional fees for loading and withdrawing BTC. These fees may be found on https://transak.com/ or any associated website of a service used by You to load your Card Account Address.
11. Returns and Refunds.
Since we cannot access the BTC on your accounts, we cannot offer returns or refunds for any Cards or Card Account Addresses.
12. Receipts, Balance, and Transaction Information for your Card Account Address.
We use the Bitcoin blockchain to transact BTC between Card Account Addresses. This blockchain is a public ledger, meaning anyone can view transactions made between Card Account Addresses. As such, the User may view their Card Account history, balance, and transaction history at any time using https://blockchain.com/
Due to the way these networks operate, these transactions may take up to 30 minutes to process. Please monitor your transactions on blockchain explorers to ensure they process before trying again.
We update the balance and transaction history of your Card Account Addresses using this tool. Account histories are available at any time to be downloaded from the blockchain.com website. We are not responsible for any downtime or inaccessibility to blockchain.com at any time.
13. Mobile Application Only Access.
You acknowledge that the Card and Application services may be accessed only directly either through the downloadable Bit Wand Mobile Application iOS application or Android Application. The User may access their Card Account Address on any iOS and Android application with the necessary NFC specifications and operating system requirements so long as they retain physical possession of their Card to access their Card Account Address. We advise you to always connect to the Application directly and never to use any third-party intermediaries. We do not assume any liability for any damages incurred as a consequence of use of any such third-party intermediaries.
14. Supported Digital Assets.
It is in our sole discretion to decide whether a digital asset will be supported. The current list of supported digital assets may be found on our website. This list of supported digital assets may change from time to time.
Before we change the list of supported digital assets, any unlisted digital assets are considered as unsupported and you may not use your Card or Application to manage (send and/or receive) any funds in such digital assets.
15. Authorization Key Management And Fraudulent Application Notice.
You acknowledge that any authorization keys associated with your account are generated locally on your device. Your authorization keys are never transmitted to Anywhere Blockchain Corp or anywhere else outside the device used to accept or login to the Card Account Address, even during a peer to peer transaction. You are solely responsible for keeping your device safe from any third parties, and for using your Card only with merchants running our official Application.
We are not responsible for loss of BTC in the case of Card usage with fraudulent representations of our mobile application, whether this is due to a remotely installed fraudulent representation by a cybersecurity breach or due to any fraudulent reengineering of our mobile application by thieves and hackers.
16. Transaction processing
You acknowledge that submitted peer to peer transactions must always be confirmed by the respective blockchain network and recorded in its public transaction ledger. We are therefore not responsible for processing the transaction and cannot control it in any way. In particular, we cannot cancel, reverse, recover or otherwise control a transaction once it has been submitted to the network. We may only facilitate a submission of your transaction to the respective digital assets network and verify whether the transaction has been confirmed by the network.
Once submitted, the transaction shall be listed as pending before it is sufficiently confirmed in the blockchain network. Until the transaction is confirmed, the transaction may not be completed. Therefore the sent digital assets shall not be available to the sender to use in other transactions unless the transaction is rejected by the network. Similarly, the transaction shall not be available to the receiver unless the transaction is confirmed by the network.
You acknowledge that the blockchain networks are decentralized and are operated by an undisclosed number of independent third parties who form a consensus on the transaction confirmation or rejection.
17. AVAILABILITY
We seek to provide continuous uninterrupted Application operation, so you can access and use the Services at any time.
You acknowledge that due to maintenance, repairs or exceptional outages we cannot guarantee 100% uninterrupted Application availability.
In the event that the Services are unavailable due to a planned temporary maintenance shutdown, we shall make an effort to inform you thereof in advance. For updates on this information, join our mailing list at https://physikey.xyz
Irrespective of any preceding clause, We are not liable to you for any damage incurred as a consequence of Application unavailability.
18. Indemnification and Joint Suit
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, you will indemnify and hold Anywhere Blockchain Corp., and any relevant company that, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Anywhere Blockchain Corp. (“Affiliate”), harmless from and against any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your access to or use of the Services, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your negligence or willful misconduct.
In the event that any legal claim, action, or proceeding is initiated against both Anywhere Blockchain Corp or Affiliate and the User jointly (the "Joint Suit") in connection with the Services, Anywhere Blockchain Corp. shall have the sole and exclusive right to control the defense and settlement of the Joint Suit, including, but not limited to, the selection of legal counsel, strategy, and settlement negotiations.
Anywhere Blockchain Corp. shall have no obligation to seek or obtain the User’s consent for any actions related to the defense or settlement of the Joint Suit.
The User shall provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to Anywhere Blockchain Corp. in the defense of the Joint Suit, including providing relevant documents, information, and access to personnel. The User shall bear its own legal costs, except as otherwise required by law or agreed upon in writing by both parties.

You begin this process by submitting a complaint form through our contact us page on our Website. We will not accept written complaints by traditional mail services.
Disputes with Users Who Reside in the United States or Canada
If you reside in the United States or Canada, and if you have a dispute with us or if we have a dispute with you, the dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration or in small claims court pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement in Appendix 1 below.
As an illustration only, the following is a summary of some of the terms of the Arbitration Agreement:
Disputes will be resolved individually (in other words, you are waiving your right to proceed against Anywhere Blockchain Corp in a class action). However, if you or we bring a coordinated group of arbitration demands with other claimants, you and we agree that the American Arbitration Association (AAA) must batch your or our arbitration demand with up to 100 other claimants to increase the efficiency and resolution of such claims.
Certain disputes must be decided before a court, including (1) any claim that the class action waiver is unenforceable, (2) any dispute about the payment of arbitration fees, (3) any dispute about whether you have completed the prerequisites to arbitration (such as exhausting the support and Formal Complaint processes), (4) any dispute about which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies, and (5) any dispute about whether a dispute is subject to the Arbitration Agreement in the first instance.
In the event that a dispute is filed with a court that does not fall into one of the above five categories, either you or Anywhere Blockchain Corp may move to compel the court to order arbitration. If the court issues an order compelling arbitration, the prevailing party on the motion to compel may recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
Disputes with Users Who Reside Outside the United States and Canada
If you do not reside in the United States or Canada, the Arbitration Agreement in Appendix 1 does not apply to you and you may resolve any claim you have with us relating to, arising out of, or in any way in connection with our Terms, us, or our Services in a court of competent jurisdiction.
