After you create an Account, we generate for you an Ethereum wallet pair comprising both a public address and an electronic private key on your device. This wallet pair is stored in two places—your keychain on your device, as well as in your iCloud account after we encrypt it with your Account information. We use the electronic private key for authentication when facilitating your use of the Service.You control the Digital Currencies held in your Digital Currency Wallet. At any time, subject to outages, downtime, and other applicable policies, you may withdraw your Digital Currency by sending it to a different blockchain address.When holding your Digital Currencies in the Digital Currency Wallet, Mooch does not maintain exclusive control over access to your Digital Currency Wallet. Our servers do not retain your private keys.

In particular, the underlying protocols may be subject to sudden changes in operating rules (including “forks”).

You affirm that you are authorized to initiate settlements to and debits from your Envelopes and your Bank Account, as applicable, and that your Bank Account is owned by you. If you update your Bank Account, then you must ensure that you continue to comply with the requirements of this section. We may require you to provide us with documentary proof demonstrating your compliance with this section, and your failure to provide such proof will constitute a breach of this Agreement. You acknowledge that your Envelopes may not be fulfilled in full if the Envelope amounts that you have designated to be distributed from your Paycheck or Bank Account are not sufficient. Mooch is not responsible for confirming such sufficiency in advance or for notifying you at any time in the event of any insufficiency. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Mooch shall not be responsible for any damages incurred by you as a result of an Envelope not being fulfilled. If the payout to the Envelopes you designate is not sufficient to cover the amounts specified by you, without limiting our other rights and remedies (all of which are cumulative), you agree that we may debit your Bank Account for the applicable amounts. Upon our request, you agree to provide us with all necessary bank account routing and related information and grant us permission to debit amounts due from your Bank Account.We may require a holding period before making initial settlement to your Envelopes. Your payout schedule (i.e., the time it takes for Mooch to initiate settlement to your Envelopes) will be specified in the App, or as otherwise designated by Mooch. Please be aware that a Third Party Partner or the financial institution holding your Bank Account may delay settlement for any reason (and thus delay your Envelope fulfillment schedule), and we are not responsible for any harm suffered by you stemming from such delay.

If we exercise our right to withhold a payout to your Envelopes for any reason, we will communicate the general reason for withholding such payment and give you a timeline for releasing the funds.
5.10 Dormancy
If you leave any funds dormant in your Account and you do not give us instructions where to send them, we may be required by applicable law to deem the funds to be abandoned by you, and to deliver them to various government agencies.
