Sallar Lite — Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of these Terms

These Terms of Use form a legally binding agreement between you and Astral Hodling OÜ, governing your access to and use of the Sallar Lite mobile application ("App") and any associated services we make available through the App.

By installing, opening, or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

2. About the service

Sallar Lite is a utility application that allows you to connect a compatible device to a distributed network operated by us and to contribute idle compute time for practical workloads such as network operations and, where available, AI-related workflows including dataset labeling.

The App is not a financial product. It does not provide trading, brokerage, investment, deposit, withdrawal, custody, or payment functionality.

Any participation indicators, uptime counters, activity metrics, or similar mechanics surfaced inside the App, where present, are informational only and describe network mechanics.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App, any feature of the App, or any service made available through the App at any time, with or without notice, subject to applicable law.

3. Eligibility

By using the App, you represent and warrant that:

• you are at least sixteen (16) years old, or the minimum age required to consent to the processing of personal data in your country of residence, whichever is higher;
• you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms;
• you are not barred from receiving the App or related services under applicable law, including export-control and sanctions laws;
• any information you provide to us is true, accurate, and complete.

The App is not intended for children. We do not knowingly provide the App to users under the age of sixteen (16).

4. Device pairing and App profile

To use the network features of the App, you may need to pair your device with a mother node using a one-time pairing code or QR code provided by us or by a network operator authorised by us.

The App generates a device identifier at first setup to recognise the same installation across sessions. You may optionally provide an email address for service communication and support, as described in our Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for:

• keeping your pairing code, device, and any access credentials confidential;
• any activity originating from your paired device or App installation;
• notifying us promptly at [email protected] of any unauthorised pairing, loss of device, or suspected compromise.

We may suspend, unpair, or refuse pairing of any device that we reasonably believe to be associated with abuse, fraud, security risk, technical manipulation, or a violation of these Terms.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to permit any third party to:

• use the App for any unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, or abusive purpose;
• violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right while using the App;
• access or attempt to access any account, device, network, or service that you are not authorised to access;
• interfere with, disrupt, overload, or impair the App, the network, or any related infrastructure, including by submitting automated, fraudulent, manipulated, or artificially generated workload signals;
• falsify, replay, inject, alter, suppress, or manipulate any workload result, execution output, device signal, uptime signal, participation signal, runtime response, or technical measurement;
• inspect, extract, copy, retain, disclose, reconstruct, modify, or use any workload data, workload output, runtime data, temporary processing data, or technical materials processed through the App outside the intended operation of the App, unless expressly authorised by us in writing;
• reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to extract the source code or design of the App, except to the minimum extent expressly permitted by mandatory applicable law;
• copy, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, rent, lease, or create derivative works of the App, except to the minimum extent expressly permitted by mandatory applicable law;

• introduce viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, spyware, or any other malicious code into the App or any associated infrastructure;
• use the App to scan, probe, exploit, attack, overload, or interfere with any third-party system;
• use the App to participate in any denial-of-service activity;
• use the App to operate an unauthorised proxy, VPN, traffic relay, tunnelling service, anonymisation service, spam infrastructure, or similar service;
• use the App in any safety-critical environment where its failure could lead to death, personal injury, or material physical or environmental damage;
• sell, lease, sublicense, share, or otherwise transfer your App profile, pairing code, App account, or any associated access credentials to any third party;
• use the App, the network, related materials, or any data obtained through them for the purpose of building, training, supporting, benchmarking, or competing with a similar product or service;
• frame, mirror, scrape, or embed the App or any associated web resources within another product, website, or interface without our prior written consent;
• access the App through automated or non-human means, including bots, scrapers, scripts, headless agents, emulators, farms, or any other automated system, except as explicitly permitted by us in writing.

We may investigate suspected violations and take any action we consider appropriate, including warning, throttling, limiting workloads, unpairing, suspending, or terminating your access to the App and reporting the conduct to competent authorities.

6. Network participation

The App allows your device to contribute compute time to a distributed network operated by us. Any participation indicators, uptime counters, workload counters, activity metrics, or similar indicators displayed in the App describe network mechanics only.

We reserve the right to adjust, recalculate, freeze, pause, reset, exclude, or invalidate such mechanics at our discretion, subject to applicable law, including where we reasonably believe that metrics are inaccurate, manipulated, abusive, technically invalid, or inconsistent with service integrity.

You acknowledge that distributed compute participation is variable by nature and depends on:

• device capability;
• trust level;
• hardware attestation status;
• operating system limitations;
• network conditions;
• available workloads;
• geographic region;
• compliance requirements;
• security requirements;
• other factors outside our full control.

We may assign, limit, reject, throttle, prioritise, or pause workloads based on:

• device capability;
• reliability;
• attestation level;
• trust score;
• connection stability;
• region;
• workload type;
• security requirements;
• legal requirements;
• network integrity.

You may stop participating in the network through the controls made available in the App, by closing the App where supported by the operating system, by unpairing the device where available, or by uninstalling the App. Some operating-system processes, logs, cached files, or pending technical operations may continue briefly as required for safe shutdown, fraud prevention, diagnostics, or legal compliance.

Your participation in the network does not create any employment, contractor, partnership, agency, franchise, joint venture, fiduciary, or representative relationship between you and us. You are not authorised to act on our behalf, bind us, represent us, or make statements for us.

7. Hardware, device requirements, and resource usage

The App may use the following resources of your device while you are actively participating in the network:

• processor and memory cycles to run compute workloads;
• network bandwidth to maintain the connection with the network and to transfer workload-related data;
• storage for temporary workload data, logs, configuration files, cached files, or security materials;
• Wi-Fi and CPU wake locks to keep the device responsive during a participation session;
• a system foreground notification while a participation session is active;
• device security features used for attestation, identity, pairing, or workload verification, where available.

You are responsible for:

• ensuring that running the App on your device is permitted under the terms of your mobile carrier, device manufacturer, operating-system provider, employer, school, institution, or any other applicable policy;
• any data, electricity, bandwidth, roaming, network, or other costs that may result from operating the App on your device;
• any battery consumption that may result from compute participation;
• monitoring your device while participating and stopping participation if the device becomes unstable, behaves unexpectedly, or is no longer suitable for continued operation.

The App may increase battery consumption, processor load, memory use, and bandwidth use while a participation session is active.

The App uses Android Hardware Key Attestation, where available, to establish a device identity at pairing. On compatible Apple devices, the App may use Apple App Attest, DeviceCheck, Secure Enclave-related mechanisms, or other platform security mechanisms where available and implemented. Devices without hardware-backed attestation may still pair, but the network may decline, restrict, or limit some workloads for such devices.

Security, attestation, pairing, and workload-verification mechanisms are designed to reduce risk, but they do not guarantee that all tampering, modification, emulation, abuse, fraud, unauthorised use, or technical manipulation will be detected.

8. Intellectual property

The App, the Sallar Lite name, the Sallar brand, the Sallar logos, the user interface, the source code of the App, the client-side libraries we distribute, the network protocols we publish, and all related materials are and remain the exclusive property of Astral Hodling OÜ and our licensors and are protected by intellectual property and other applicable laws.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to install and use the App on a compatible device for your own non-commercial use.
