No Formal Terms · Dual Currency Notice
======================================

This is a **self-hosted GNU Taler merchant backend** at
``taler.hacktivism.ch`` (hacktivism.ch).

**No formal terms of service** from Taler Operations AG (or any other
third-party portal operator) apply to this instance. This short notice
is the site policy for using the backend.

Dual currency
-------------

This backend is configured for **two currencies at once**:

* **GOA** — explorational / experimental currency of the local
  stack (``exchange.hacktivism.ch``, ``bank.hacktivism.ch``).
  GOA is **not** legal tender. It has **no guaranteed real-world
  value**, redemption, or convertibility.
* **CHF** — Swiss francs, a **real** currency. CHF amounts are
  real money settled via the CHF exchange configured on this host
  (taler-ops / TOPS infrastructure as deployed). Treat CHF with
  the seriousness of ordinary payments.

By creating a merchant instance, accepting payments, or otherwise
using this service you acknowledge that:

* GOA is for exploration and testing only.
* CHF involves real money — only use funds you control and can
  afford to risk on a self-hosted experimental stack.
* There is no guaranteed availability, support, or uptime.
* Operators may reset GOA state, change configuration, delete
  instance data, or interrupt service without notice.
* Software is provided as-is, without warranty.

If you do not agree, do not use this merchant backend.
