# Accept the terms
Read and accept the terms once, before anything else.
The very first screen of the Vault is a short gate: the Vault is free software, it holds none of your keys for you, and it cannot undo a signed transaction or recover lost funds. You confirm you understand that, once.
## What you need
* The Vault installed and open (see [Install the Vault](/vault/install.md)).
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Read, tick the box, tap "Accept and continue"
The screen **Before you continue** sums up the terms. Tap **Terms of Use** to read the full text. Tick **I have read and accept the Terms of Use**, then tap **Accept and continue**.
The terms gate. It appears only once.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
{% hint style="info" %}
**What you see:** the welcome page with the three setup steps. The date you accepted is kept on the device; you can reread the terms any time from **Configuration → Terms of Use**.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
**The terms are in English.** Translations in the app are for convenience; the English text is the one that counts.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://doc.lockerprotocol.com/vault/accept-the-terms.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
