Terms of Service

Last Updated: July 2026

Beta Release Notice

openTILL is currently in beta release. Features may change, contain bugs, or be unavailable without notice, and you use the Service at your own risk. Please report any issues, bugs, or feedback through our Support / Ticket Portal so we can improve the platform.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using openTILL services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our services.

openTILL is available to customers globally. If you access or use openTILL from outside the United States, you are responsible for complying with the local laws of your jurisdiction, including any licensing, tax, data-protection, anti-money-laundering, and cryptocurrency regulations that apply to your use of the Service. You acknowledge that openTILL may not be available or lawful in every jurisdiction, and we make no representation that the Service is appropriate or available in your location.

2. Eligibility

To use openTILL, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Have the authority to bind your business to these Terms
  • Operate a legitimate business with necessary licenses and permits
  • Provide accurate and complete registration information
  • Comply with all applicable laws and regulations

3. Account Registration

When you register for openTILL:

  • You must provide accurate, current, and complete information
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
  • You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access
  • You accept responsibility for all activities under your account
  • We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms

4. Account Activation and Fees

No Subscription Plans or Platform Fees

Isolex does not offer subscription plans and does not charge a recurring platform fee for use of the Service. There is no free trial because there is no paid subscription to convert to. Once your merchant account is activated, you may use the Service without paying any recurring software license or platform access fee.

Activation

  • Your account is activated by Isolex (or your Ambassador) after registration and verification
  • You may begin using the Service as soon as activation is complete
  • We may decline or deactivate an account at any time for reasons set out in these Terms

Payment Processing Fees

While there is no platform subscription fee, payment processing fees apply to transactions you process through the Service. These fees are set by the underlying payment processor (e.g., Stripe), depend on the payment method used (card, crypto, EBT, etc.), and are deducted from each transaction. You are responsible for reviewing and accepting the applicable processing rates before accepting payments.

Optional Hardware and Chip Purchases

Certain optional items — such as the free Stripe Reader M2 program (subject to its own terms in Section 6), device-shop hardware, and openTILL Chip NFTs — may carry one-time or recurring charges. Those charges are disclosed at the point of purchase and are separate from any payment processing fees. You are responsible for all applicable taxes on any such purchases.

5. Acceptable Use

Permitted Use

You may use openTILL to:

  • Process legitimate business transactions
  • Manage inventory and products
  • Generate sales reports and analytics
  • Accept various payment methods (cash, card, crypto, EBT)
  • Integrate with third-party marketplaces

Prohibited Use

You may NOT use openTILL to:

  • Process fraudulent or illegal transactions
  • Sell prohibited goods (weapons, illegal drugs, stolen items, etc.)
  • Engage in money laundering or terrorist financing
  • Violate any laws, regulations, or third-party rights
  • Circumvent payment processing fees or security measures
  • Resell or sublicense the Service without authorization
  • Reverse engineer or attempt to access source code
  • Interfere with system security or integrity

6. Payment Processing

Dual Pricing

Our signature dual pricing feature allows you to display different prices for cash and card payments. You are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable surcharging laws in your jurisdiction.

Payment Gateways

You may integrate third-party payment gateways (Stripe, Square, Shift4, etc.). You are responsible for complying with each provider's terms of service and maintaining valid credentials.

Cryptocurrency Payments

Crypto payments via Solana Pay are final and irreversible. You assume all risks associated with cryptocurrency volatility and blockchain transactions.

EBT/SNAP Benefits

If you accept EBT, you must comply with USDA SNAP regulations and only process EBT for eligible items.

PCI-DSS Compliance

You are responsible for maintaining PCI-DSS compliance when handling cardholder data. We provide tools to help, but ultimate responsibility rests with you.

$DUC Vault, Rewards & Staking

openTILL may issue rewards and bonuses in the $DUC token on the Solana blockchain, including card-processing rewards, referral bonuses (always paid in $DUC), and ambassador/merchant bonuses. $DUC balances, staking, and claims are managed through the $DUC Vault. Token values are volatile; we are not responsible for fluctuations in $DUC market value, and rewards are not deposits, securities, or guarantees of return. You are responsible for maintaining a valid Solana wallet and for any tax obligations arising from rewards.

NFT Chips & Marketplace

Certain features may require or be unlocked by non-fungible token ("Chip") ownership on Solana. Purchases, mints, and subscriptions involving Chips are final and recorded on-chain. We do not guarantee the value, liquidity, or continued availability of any Chip, and access to gated features may be revoked if a Chip subscription lapses.

Ambassador & Builder Payouts

Ambassadors and Builders may earn commissions and bonuses payable via Stripe, $DUC, or a combination, at the platform's discretion. Payouts depend on accurate payout-destination details you provide; we are not liable for funds sent to an incorrect or outdated wallet or Stripe account you configured. Ambassadors do not pay platform fees; bonus structures are set per ambassador and may be changed by the platform.

SNS Subdomains & Web3 Identity

We may register Solana Name Service (SNS) subdomains (e.g., *.opentill.sol) on your behalf. Subdomain minting involves on-chain transactions and network fees; registration may fail due to network conditions or name conflicts, and we are not liable for such failures or for the availability of any particular name.

AI Tools, Marketing & Generated Content

AI-assisted features (marketing content, website generation, insights) are provided for convenience only. AI output may be inaccurate or incomplete. You must review any AI-generated content before publishing and are solely responsible for its accuracy, compliance, and any claims arising from its use.

Deliveries, Invoices & Online Ordering

Delivery, invoicing, and online-ordering features are facilitative tools. We are not a carrier, courier, or payment guarantor. You are responsible for fulfilling orders, deliveries, and invoices, and for any disputes with your customers.

Free Stripe Reader M2 Program

When you activate a new openTILL Payments account, you may be eligible to receive one (1) Stripe Reader M2 card reader at no cost (the "Free Reader"). The following terms apply to the Free Reader program:

Card on File Required

To receive the Free Reader, you must provide a valid credit or debit card to be kept on file. This card will not be charged at the time of enrollment. By providing your card and accepting these Terms, you authorize Isolex Corporation to charge your card a Non-Return Fee (defined below) if the Reader is not returned within the Return Period (defined below) after cancellation of your openTILL Payments account, or is returned but not in Good Working Order (defined below).

Return Obligation

If you cancel your openTILL Payments account for any reason, you must return the Free Reader to openTILL Corporation within thirty (30) days of the cancellation date (the "Return Period"). You are responsible for the cost of return shipping. The Reader must be returned in Good Working Order as defined below.

Non-Return Fee

If the Free Reader is not received by Isolex Corporation within the Return Period, or is received but not in Good Working Order, you will be charged a non-return fee of One Hundred Dollars (USD $100.00) (the "Non-Return Fee") to the card you provided at enrollment. You authorize Isolex Corporation to process this charge automatically after the Return Period expires without further notice. The Non-Return Fee is in addition to any other amounts you may owe under these Terms and does not constitute a purchase of the Reader.

Good Working Order Defined

For purposes of this Section, "Good Working Order" means the Reader meets all of the following conditions:

  • Is free of physical damage, including but not limited to cracked, chipped, or shattered screens, broken casing, or damaged ports
  • Has no liquid or water damage, and no evidence of exposure to moisture or humidity beyond normal use
  • Is free of significant cosmetic damage beyond normal wear and tear, including deep scratches, dents, or markings that impair functionality or readability
  • Boots and powers on successfully when connected to a power source
  • Successfully connects to a network (Wi-Fi or cellular, as applicable to the reader model) and can communicate with the Stripe Terminal API
  • Can read and process card transactions (contactless, chip, and swipe, as applicable to the reader model)
  • Includes all original accessories and components provided with the Reader, including charging cable, power adapter, and any included mounts or stands
  • Is free of any software or firmware modifications, jailbreaks, or unauthorized alterations

Isolex Corporation reserves the right to determine, in its reasonable discretion, whether a returned Reader meets the Good Working Order standard. If the Reader does not meet this standard, the Non-Return Fee will apply and will be charged to the card on file.

Ownership & Responsibility

The Free Reader remains the property of Isolex Corporation until the earlier of (a) successful return in Good Working Order within the Return Period, or (b) payment of the Non-Return Fee. You are responsible for loss, theft, or damage to the Reader while in your possession. If the Reader is lost or stolen, the Non-Return Fee will apply.

9. Disclaimers and Limitations

Service "As Is"

openTILL is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

While we strive for maximum uptime, we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. Scheduled maintenance and unexpected outages may occur.

  • Loss of funds sent to an incorrect wallet or Stripe account you configured

Because openTILL is a beta product, the Service is experimental and may contain errors, defects, or unexpected behavior. You acknowledge and assume all such risks.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for any claim shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) USD $100. In no event shall we be liable for any loss of digital assets, tokens, or cryptocurrency.

11. Termination

By You

You may deactivate or close your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting support. Because there is no paid subscription, no billing period or refund applies.
