I'm all about the recovery... behind the actual security of the private keys, this is the biggest thing for me.Forget about endless lists of words on a piece of paper.

From your website, I was looking at the recovery process
Once the new HASHWallet has been initialized, we perform the recovery process by loading our Recovery Seed from the Seed Card and the Recovery Key from the custody service or from our own source.
Can you explain what this "custody service" is? and/or "your own source"? Quote from: https://gethashwallet.com/faq
"If I lose my HASHWallet, how can I get my public and private keys back?"
HASHWallet comes with two additional cards named Smart Seed Cards. When the device is first initialized, it will pair with the seed cards via NFC, so these will store a Recovery Seed. Also, during this set-up process the card will generate a Recovery Key, which will be stored on the eSignus Vault. In case of losing the device, simply purchase a new HASHWallet and recover the keys from one of the Seed cards and the Recovery Key.

"If eSignus disappears, how do I access my Recovery Key?"
In the rare event that eSignus ceases to operate, there would be a period where HASHWallet users could download their Recovery Key and store it by themselves.
Is the end user not actually in control of the recovery key? In the rare event that eSignus ceases to operate, there would be a period where HASHWallet users could download their Recovery Key and store it by themselves.
Honestly, that seems like a bit of a deal breaker to me...
