+Receiving Terms of Service
+--------------------------
+
+.. http:get:: /terms
+
+  Obtain the terms of service provided by the storage service.
+
+
+  **Response:**
+
+  Returns a `SyncTermsOfServiceResponse`_.
+
+  .. _SyncTermsOfServiceResponse:
+  .. _tsref-type-SyncTermsOfServiceResponse:
+  .. code-block:: tsref
+
+    interface SyncTermsOfServiceResponse {
+      // maximum wallet database backup size supported
+      storage_limit_in_megabytes: number; 
+
+      // maximum number of sync requests per day (per account)
+      daily_sync_limit: number;

+
+
+.. _sync:
+
+.. http:get:: /$WALLET-KEY
+
+  Download latest version of the wallet database.  Note that this
+  operation should only be used the first time. Later, the wallet
+  should always use POST.
+
+  **Response**
+  
+  :status 200 OK:
+    The body contains the current version of the wallet's
+    database as known to the server.
+
+  :status 204 No content:
+    This is a fresh account, no previous wallet data exists at
+    the server.
+
+  :status 429 Too many requests:
+    This account has exceeded daily thresholds for the number of
+    requests.  Try again later.
+    
+
+  .. note::
+
+    200 OK responses include an HTTP header
+    "X-Taler-Sync-Signature" with the signature of the
+    wallet from the orginal upload, and an
+    "X-Taler-Sync-Previous" with the version that was
+    being updated (unless this is the first revision).
+    
+.. http:post:: /$WALLET-KEY           
+
+  Upload a new version of the wallet's database, or download the
+  latest version.  The request must include the "Expect: 100 Continue"
+  header.  The client must wait for "100 Continue" before proceeding
+  with the upload, regardless of the size of the upload.
+
+  **Request**
+
+  The request must include a "If-Match" (FIXME: correct?)
+  header indicating the latest version of the wallet's database
+  known to the client.  If the server knows a more recent version,
+  it will respond with a 409 conflict and return the server's
+  version in the response.  The client must then merge the two
+  versions before retrying the upload.
+
+  The request must also include an "X-Taler-Sync-Signature"
+  signing the "If-Match" SHA-512 value and the SHA-512 hash
+  of the body with the wallet private key.  The SHA-512 hash
+  of the body must also be given in an "E-tag" header of the
+  request (so that the signature can be verified before the
+  upload is allowed to proceed).
+
+  The uploaded body must have at least 32 bytes of payload.
+
+  **Response**
+
+  :status 204 No content:
+    The transfer was successful, and the server has registered
+    the new version.
+
+  :status 304 Not modified:
+    The server is already aware of this version of the wallet.
+    Returned before 100 continue to avoid upload.
+    
+  :status 402 Payment required:
+    The synchronization service requires payment before the
+    account can continue to be used.
+    
+  :status 401 Not authorized:
+    The signature is invalid or missing (or body does not match).
+
+  :status 409 Conflict:
+    The server has a more recent version than what is given
+    in "If-Match".  The more recent version is returned. The
+    client should merge the two versions and retry using the
+    given response's "E-Tag" in the next attempt in "If-Match".
+
+  :status 410 Gone:
+    The backup service has closed operations.  The body will
+    contain the latest version still available at the server.
+    The user should be urged to find another provider.
+
+  :status 411 Length required:
+    The client must specify the content-length before
+    attempting upload.
+    
+  :status 413 Payload too large:
+    The requested upload exceeds the quota for the account.
+    
+  :status 429 Too many requests:
+    This account has exceeded daily thresholds for the number of
+    requests.  Try again later.
+
+  .. note::
+
+    Responses with a body include an HTTP header
+    "X-Taler-Sync-Signature" with the signature of the
+    wallet from the orginal upload, and an
+    "X-Taler-Sync-Previous" with the version that was
+    being updated (unless this is the first revision).
