Last Updated: May 17, 2025

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern all services provided by The Bitcoin Way ("Company," "we," "us," "our"). By engaging our services, you ("Client," "you") agree to these Terms, forming a binding legal agreement. If you do not agree, do not use our services.

We provide technical education and support for Bitcoin, cybersecurity, and Plan B residency assistance. We are not financial, legal, or tax advisors. You are responsible for consulting relevant professionals and complying with applicable laws.
‍

1. Scope of Services
‍

1.1. What We Do  

  • We offer technical training and support for:  
    • Bitcoin Self-Custody: Secure wallet setup, node operation, and privacy tools.  
    • Cybersecurity: Protection of digital assets through encrypted vaults and best practices.  
    • Plan B Residency Assistance: We manage the logistics of residency planning by coordinating with trusted third-party legal and accounting professionals and engaging a Panama-based legal team to handle formalities.
  • Our services are educational and technical in nature, except where we manage logistics for Plan B services.

1.2. What We Don’t Do  

  • We are not a bank, exchange, or licensed financial service provider.  
  • We do not hold, manage, or control your Bitcoin or funds.  
  • We do not provide investment, legal, tax, or financial advice, including in connection with Plan B residency services, which are facilitated through third-party professionals.  
  • We are not responsible for the actions, errors, or outcomes of third-party legal, accounting, or other professionals involved in Plan B residency services, though we oversee the coordination of these services.

1.3. Your Responsibilities  

  • You are solely responsible for your Bitcoin, wallet, setup, and decisions.  
  • For Plan B services, you must provide accurate information and comply with requirements set by third-party professionals or legal authorities.  
  • You accept all risks associated with Bitcoin, including price volatility and technical errors, and with residency planning, including legal or regulatory outcomes.  
  • You must ensure compliance with local laws.

1.4. No Guarantees  

  • We do not guarantee profits, security, or error-free outcomes for Bitcoin or cybersecurity services, nor do we guarantee specific results or approvals for Plan B residency services.

2. Service Delivery
‍

2.1. Scheduling  

  • Appointments must be canceled or rescheduled at least 24 hours in advance.

2.3. Third-Party Referrals  

  • For Plan B residency services, we coordinate with trusted third-party legal and accounting professionals and engage a Panama-based legal team to handle formalities. We manage logistics for the process. Our role is limited to facilitating coordination, and we do not guarantee the availability, participation, or success of third-party professionals or legal teams.
