  3. When setting up a Wallet within DeBio Network, the Lab and the User will be responsible for keeping their own account secrets, which may be a twelve-word seed phrase, an account file, or other locally stored secret information. DeBio Network encrypts the information locally with a password you provide, that we never send to our servers. The private key is connected to the Wallet address and, together, they can be used to authorize the transfer of Virtual Currency to and from that Wallet address. the Lab and the User are solely responsible for maintaining the security of their private key and any mnemonic (backup) phrase associated with their Wallet. the Lab and the User must keep their Wallet address, mnemonic (backup) phrase, and private key access information secure. Failure to do so may result in the loss of control of Virtual Currency associated with the Wallet. DeBio Network stores the Lab and the User Wallet address but does not receive or store their Wallet password, encrypted private key, unencrypted private key, or mnemonic (backup) phrase associated with their Wallet. DeBio cannot, therefore, assist the Lab and the User with Wallet password retrieval. DeBio cannot generate a new password for their Wallet if they fail to remember their original password. If they have not safely stored a backup of any Wallet address and private key pairs maintained in their Wallet, the Lab and the User accept and acknowledge that any Virtual Currency they have associated with such a Wallet address will become inaccessible if they do not have their Wallet password.
