Interaction includes several activities allowed by the underlying protocol.

The following are the terms of service (“Terms”) for using Liketu and the Services provided on this website. It is NOT intended as a generic document to define the Terms of Service of the Hive Blockchain. Liketu is operated by Liketu Limited.

We may change these terms at any time. When we do, revise the updated date at the top of this page.

As described in more detail below, the Services, among other things, provide in-browser (or otherwise local) software that:

(a) generates and stores Hive Account Addresses and encrypted Private Keys (defined below), and

(b) Facilitates the submission of Hive transaction data to the Hive network without requiring you to access the Hive command line interface.

1.1.3 Account Names and Private Keys

When you create an Account, the Services generate and store a cryptographic private and public key pair that you may use to send and receive HIVE and HIVE Backed Dollars (HBD) via the Hive network. The Private Key uniquely matches the Account Name and must be used in connection with the Account Name to authorize the transfer of HIVE and HBD from that Account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your Private Key and any password phrase associated with your wallet. You must keep your Account, password phrase and Private Key access information secure. Failure to do so may result in the loss of control of HIVE, HIVE Power and HBD associated with the Wallet.

You are solely responsible for remembering your Account password. If you have not safely stored a backup of any Account Names and password pairs maintained in your Account, you accept and acknowledge that any HIVE, HBD and HP you have associated with such Account will become inaccessible if you do not have your Account password.

Transactions

In order to be completed, all proposed Hive transactions must be confirmed and recorded in the Hive public ledger via the Hive distributed consensus network (a peer-to-peer economic network that operates on a cryptographic protocol), which is not owned, controlled or operated by Liketu Limited. The Hive Network is operated by a decentralized network of independent third parties. Liketu Limited has no control over the Hive network and therefore cannot and does not ensure that any transaction details you submit via the Services will be confirmed via the Hive network. You acknowledge and agree that the transaction details you submit via the Services may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed, by the Hive network. You may use the Services provided to submit these details to the network.

No Storage or Transmission of HIVE, HBD or HP

Hive, in any of its forms (HIVE, HBD and HP) is an intangible, digital asset. They exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained in the Hive network. Any transfer of title that might occur in any HIVE, HBD or HP occurs on the decentralized ledger within the Hive network and not within the Liketu services.

10.9 Liketu is intended for a general audience and, as a result, some User Content may discuss or depict adult-oriented topics. We realize that this content may not be appropriate or desirable for some of our Users depending on their current location, age, background or personal views. As a result, you, other Liketu users and in general all Hive Blockchain users are expected to mark this content as Not Safe For Work ("NSFW").

The marking of User Content as "NSFW" does not guarantee the prevention of you from being able to access this content but, instead, helps all users to make informed decisions about the type of content they prefer to view on Liketu.

If you select the option to view all "NSFW" content you understand and agree that you access content marked as "NSFW" at your own risk.

It is possible that some Liketu Users may not use the "nsfw" designation (mistakenly or purposefully) and thus you acknowledge that it is possible that you may still experience adult-oriented topics even while using the Liketu setting to exclude "NSFW" content.
