The Service provides a suite of tools designed to help you create, store, and transmit blockchain-based assets. Among other things, Heirloom works together with its credential-granting partners (each a “Credential Issuing Partner”) to create blockchain-based digital assets reflecting certain credentials you may have been awarded from time to time, such as a university degree, proof of an insurance policy, a receipt for a charitable donation, or a license you’ve been granted to perform a certain activity (each a “Credential”).
YOUR CREDENTIALS ARE PERSONAL TO YOU. Credentials reflect your own personal achievements, records, and authorizations, and are not intended to be assigned, conveyed, sold, licensed, or otherwise transferred to anyone else. Accordingly, you may not assign, convey, sell, license, or otherwise transfer any of your right, title, or interest in or to such Credentials to any third-party without the prior written consent of both Heirloom and the applicable Credential Issuing Partner. Any attempt to assign, convey, sell, license, or otherwise transfer any such right, title, or interest in or to such Credentials without such consent is void and ineffective.
While your account is active and in good standing, we will use reasonable efforts to make the Service and its features and functionalities reasonably available to you.
2.1. Set-Up. In order to use the Service, you need a web browser (such as the Google Chrome web browser) or our mobile application. Once a Credential is made available to you, you will be notified by the Credential Issuing Partner with further instructions for account setup.
