Terms of Service

Last updated: April 2026

1. Scope

These Terms of Service govern the use of the messaging application PHANTOM (the "App" or "Service"), provided by:

AI&Workflow Solutions UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
[Address to be added — Virtual Office]
Email: [email protected]

By installing and using the App, you agree to these Terms.

2. Service Description

PHANTOM is an end-to-end encrypted messenger with post-quantum cryptography. The Service includes:

  • Encrypted one-to-one and group messages
  • Encrypted file, image, and voice transmission
  • Anonymous registration without personal data
  • Self-destructing messages
  • Optional premium features (PHANTOM Pro)

3. Registration and Account

Using PHANTOM does not require any personal data. Your account is identified by a cryptographically generated anonymous ID and protected by a passphrase you choose.

You are solely responsible for safekeeping your passphrase. If you lose your passphrase, we cannot restore access to your account — the encryption makes this technically impossible.

4. PHANTOM Pro — Subscription

4.1 Scope

PHANTOM Pro is an optional paid subscription that unlocks additional features, including post-quantum encryption, encrypted groups, rotating proxies, and blockchain key transparency.

4.2 Pricing and Payment Methods

  • Price: EUR 7.99 per month (including applicable taxes)
  • Apple In-App Purchase: Billed through your Apple account. Apple's terms additionally apply.
  • Cryptocurrency: Payment with Bitcoin (Lightning Network) or USDC (Base L2) via our website. Payment is processed through an anonymous, untraceable mechanism.

4.3 Free Trial

New users receive a 7-day free trial. After expiry, the subscription automatically renews at the regular price unless cancelled beforehand.

4.4 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time:

  • Apple In-App Purchase: Through your Apple account settings (Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions)
  • Cryptocurrency: No automatic renewal — you manually pay for the next period

After cancellation, access remains until the end of the paid period. No refunds are issued for previously paid amounts.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the App for the following purposes:

  • Distribution of illegal content (e.g., child exploitation material, terrorism propaganda)
  • Harassment, threats, or intimidation of other users
  • Distribution of spam or malware
  • Violation of applicable laws

Due to end-to-end encryption, we have no access to your message contents. However, we provide a reporting function that allows users to flag problematic content. Reported content is verified through a cryptographic franking mechanism without us seeing the message contents.

6. Liability

6.1 Limitation of Liability

Our liability is limited to intentional misconduct and gross negligence. For slight negligence, we are only liable for breaches of material contractual obligations, limited to foreseeable, contract-typical damages.

6.2 No Availability Guarantee

We strive for high availability of the Service but cannot guarantee it. Maintenance, technical issues, or force majeure may cause temporary outages.

6.3 Encryption

PHANTOM employs state-of-the-art encryption technologies including post-quantum cryptography. Nevertheless, we cannot provide an absolute security guarantee. Use of the App is at your own risk.

7. Intellectual Property

PHANTOM is open-source software. The source code is published under the respective open-source licenses. The "PHANTOM" trademark and associated branding are protected and may not be used commercially without permission.

8. Privacy

For details on data processing, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

9. Self-Destruct Features

PHANTOM offers features for irrevocable data deletion (disappearing messages, Dead Man's Switch, Blockchain Kill Switch, account deletion). Use of these features is at your own responsibility. Deleted data cannot be recovered.

10. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to amend these Terms. Material changes will be communicated through the App or our website. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The exclusive venue for disputes is, to the extent permitted by law, the registered office of AI&Workflow Solutions UG.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely approximates the economic purpose of the invalid provision.
