1. Agreement

By accessing or using the Services, printing or downloading materials from our website, or otherwise using the website, you agree (on behalf of yourself or the company you represent) to comply with and be legally bound by the terms herein.

By utilizing our Service, you confirm that you have read and accepted the terms and conditions outlined herein which constitutes an agreement between you and us (“Agreement”). If you do not agree to any of the terms set forth in this Agreement, you may not access or use any of the Services.You may not transfer, pledge or assign any rights or obligations you have under this Agreement to any third party without our prior explicit written consent.

We reserve the right to transfer or assign this Agreement or any right or obligation under this agreement at any time without your consent. You hereby consent to any such future transfer or assignment. This does not affect your rights to deactivate your Account.

Each time you access or use the Service to undertake a transaction, you must acknowledge and consent to the charges and exchange rate as communicated to you directly or otherwise on the website. By proceeding with a transaction, you confirm your understanding of and consent to the charges and exchange rate communicated to you directly or through our website or any other means as agreed. If you do not understand or consent to the Charges and Exchange Rate, you may not proceed with an Exchange Transaction.

To be able to use our Service and create an Account, you must meet the following criteria:

1. You have full legal capacity to enter into a contract; and
2. Provide the relevant documents and information as requested by our compliance team or any other member of our team;

If you are an individual, you must be at least 18 years old or older (if the applicable age of majority and contractual capacity in a jurisdiction where you reside is above 18 years of age). By accessing or using the Service you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older and otherwise are legally competent to enter into this Agreement.

You must not be acting on behalf of or for the benefit of anyone else, unless you are creating an Account for the company that you own or the company that employs you or the company has otherwise formally authorized you to create an Account with us on their behalf. By creating an Account on behalf of a company, you confirm that you possess all required authorizations to act on behalf of the said company.

If you are using our Service on behalf of a legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to bind that entity to these terms of this Agreement. You may be required to produce a Board Resolution to that effect and if your business is a sole proprietorship, a Letter of Authorization may need to be provided.

Where these terms refer to “you”, it means they will refer to you and that entity, and that entity agrees to be responsible for you and any other user that accesses the Services on its behalf, including for your and their compliance with these terms.

We may restrict or prohibit access to or use of all or some of our Service from certain locations in countries, depending on various regulatory requirements.

If you are a resident of a country outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or are using our service to send funds to or from bank accounts or other payment instruments operated by financial institutions outside of the EEA, several provisions of these terms may not be applicable to you.

If you are a business Account user (which means that your Account with us was created and used primarily for purposes of conducting trade, running a business or exercising professional activities on a regular basis), several provisions of these terms may have limited applications to you due to the fact that you will not be considered a consumer within the meaning of the EU Payment Services Directive.

In particular, we may need to charge you additional fees for provision of additional information or conducting remedial and deterrent actions. For example, in the case of unauthorized or disputed transactions, you will not benefit from certain provisions stipulated by Articles 72, 74, 76 and several other articles of the EU Payment Services Directive.

We may amend or modify these termsby posting a revised version on our website and, where applicable, by notifying you. By continuing to access or use the Service after we have posted a revised version, you agree to be bound by the terms of the revised version. In the event that you do not agree to be bound by these revised terms, you must deactivate your Account and otherwise cease accessing or using the Services.

You further agree that we may:

1. modify or discontinue any portion of the Service, and
2. suspend or terminate your access to the Service, at any time, and from time to time, without notice to you in certain, limited circumstances described herein. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification or termination of the Service, or suspension or termination of your access to the Service, except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth herein.

2. How it works

•  How it works

The Service is made available to you subject to terms and conditions of this Agreement.

After you have created an Account with us, you may initiate a Transaction (which for the purpose of interpreting these terms may also be referred to as an “Exchange Transaction”) and/or provide us with your payment order instructions with respect to how you would like to deposit funds, receive proceeds from your transactions.

All Transactions are subject to approval and verification. As required by applicable laws and regulations, we may reject a Transaction and we will inform you accordingly about this fact and also provide you with reasons for our refusal, unless we are not permitted to make such disclosures based on applicable regulations.

• Exchange Transactions

To initiate an Exchange Transaction, you will need to:

1. create a trade request via your Account or other pre-agreed means of communication;
2. agree with us on an Exchange Rate, which is valid at the time of agreeing and which will determine the amount of national currency (local) to be transferred to us and the foreign currency to be paid out by us.
3. designate the specific account into which the foreign currency equivalent is to be deposited;
4. you transfer the agreed local currency to our designated account as provided by us on our website or as communicated otherwise.
5. upon confirmation of receipt of the fund paid to us, you shall be required to confirm your

Exchange Transaction.

Once you confirm an Exchange Transaction, you have irrevocably authorized us to credit the account  provided to us for settlement and you may not cancel the Exchange Transaction.

We will notify you (and if applicable, the recipient of the foreign currency paid out on your instructions)  of the successful transfer of the funds.

Any designated amount deposited by us in excess of the agreed designated amount, shall be considered an overpayment. Upon due notification and instructions, you shall be obliged to refund the excess amount as instructed.

In the event of your failure or default to refund us for such overpayment, we may, and are hereby authorized to, at any time, with or without notice to you, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any or parts or all designated amount you shall be entitled to in subsequent Exchange Transactions, to satisfy the overpayment.

• Certain risks 

In connection with a Transaction, we will attempt to confirm the validity of the account provided to us for settlement, to the extent possible. However, it is your responsibility to ensure, verify and confirm that the account you have provided to us  belongs to your intended recipient. If we are unable to deliver the designated foreign currency to the account you provide to us, our only obligation, and your sole recourse, is to terminate the Transaction.

If we terminate the Transaction, our only obligation, and your sole recourse, will be for us to refund the amount of that transaction, unless we are required to hold the funds due to, for example, suspected risks of money laundering, illegal activities, online fraud and in some other cases, as required by applicable regulations. We reserve the right to refuse to process or to cancel any pending Transaction as required by law or in response to a subpoena, court order, or other binding government order.

Transactions within the EEA or SEPA area can normally be completed by the end of the next business day from the day your Payment Order has been duly received (provided that all payment instructions have been provided correctly by all parties involved). Outside of the EEA, subject to local regulations and existing operating procedures, that could vary across different countries and financial institutions.

The regulatory framework in relation to Transactions involving foreign currencies is still evolving, as such it is possible that your transactions are or may be in the future subject to various reporting, tax or other liabilities and obligations.

There is a risk that your Transactions may be affected by system failures resulting from adverse events, natural disasters and other emergencies and unforeseen significant changes in the external environment. With regards to opportunity loss (e.g. you lost an opportunity to make an Exchange Transaction, resulting in loss of hypothetical profits which could have been obtained) due to things such as emergency situations, technical failures and force majeure circumstances, we will not take corrective actions since we are not able to determine the details of the hypothetical transaction which would have not been completed.

You agree that any payments to be made by us may be completed within 48 hours or such other timeline as required to do so, which may be communicated to you. You accept the risk that a Transaction may be delayed for any reason and you agree to hold us harmless from and against any damages or injury arising out of or related to such delay.

• Application for an Account

All information you provide must be complete and accurate in all respects. It is your obligation immediately to update any incomplete or incorrect information in your Account. Please note that the countries listed above are non-exhaustive and we may amend this list from time to time in line with internal compliance measures.

All information you provide is subject to our own review and verification. We may use third parties, for example, providers of KYC scanning solutions, fraud management agencies, population registers, national databases, credit bureaus to make any inquiries we consider necessary to verify your identity and/or Account information, manage the risk of online fraud and fulfil our legal obligations, as a payment services institution. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for additional information.

All information you provide to us is subject to storage for a period of seven (7) years (or such other period we may determine in order to comply with applicable laws and business practices) for risk management and security reasons, and archival and record-keeping purposes.

If you have previously tried to create an Account with us with similar or the same information, we reserve the right to refuse the creation of a new Account . Where we refuse the creation of a new Account in this regard, you may be required to access and use your existing Account.

We may be prohibited from providing services or entering into relationships with certain individuals and entities. In the event that we are required to block assets associated with your Account in accordance with government sanctions programs or other legal requirements, we may deactivate your Account or block user activity where required.

We are not responsible for any losses, whether direct or indirect, that you may incur as a result of our complying with applicable law, the guidance or direction of any regulatory authority or governmental agency, or any writ of attachment, lien, levy, subpoena, warrant or other legal order. If you were previously denied the registration of an Account,  or had an Account deactivated by us, you may not be able to reapply for a new Account.

Due to the numerous factors involved in our evaluation of an application for registration of an Account with us, we reserve the right to decline any application for an Account registration or any request for a proposed Transaction, for any reason, permitted by applicable regulations and our internal policies. Upon successful completion of the registration process, we will create your Account.

•  Security and unauthorized use

Only one login and password can be linked to your Account at any time. You are required not to re-use a combination of login and password for your Account for any other online service or website, to protect the security of your Account, not to share your Account credentials with any other third party. You are responsible for all Transactions that take place on your Account, using your login and password. We recommend that you change your password regularly and use a 2-step authentication where possible.

You are responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of any and all logins, passwords, hints, personal identification numbers (PINs), MFA identifiers or any other codes that you use to access our Service. You are required to immediately report any unauthorized access to your Account, any unauthorized activity on your Account or any unauthorized use of our Service from your Account. Should you discover or suspect such activities, contact us immediately  at [email protected].

You are responsible for keeping your email address and other contact information up to date in your Account in order to receive any notices or alerts that we may send you. We assume no responsibility for any loss that you may sustain due to compromise of your email credentials, loss of a personal device or failure to follow or act on any notices or alerts that we may send to you.

Our representatives will never ask you for your password, so any email, phone call or other communication requesting your password should be treated as unauthorized and suspicious and immediately forwarded to us for further investigation.

If you do share your login credentials with a third party for any reason, including because the third party has promised to provide you additional services such as account aggregation or information services, the third party will have access to your Account and your personal information, and you shall be fully responsible for actions taken using your password and login credentials.

• Transaction Execution

We reserve the right to establish and change transaction limits, at our sole discretion. All Transactions from your Account will be effected by transfer instructions authorized with the login and password given to you when you register, or by such other methods as we may prescribe from time to time.

You may not attempt or initiate any Exchange Transactions from your Account in the event that you do not have sufficient funds to meet the value of the Exchange Transaction and Charges applicable thereto.

We will verify and confirm all transactions effected from your Account to you by email or other designated mode of communication. Our records will be taken as correct unless the contrary is proved. We may, at any time, refuse a Transaction or attempted Transaction submitted by you. The reasons for the refusal and any potential actions you can take to re-initiate the refused Transaction will be communicated to you.

We may refuse to execute a Transaction, for example, in any of the following cases:

1. The instructions contain factual errors or incomplete details; or you do not have the corresponding sufficient amounts available for you to transact with on your Account;
2. You have breached any of your obligations towards us under these terms or any other agreement entered into between you and us;
3. The risk limitations or spending limits established for your Account may have been reached;
4. We are legally or contractually obliged to hold or block Transactions;
5. We have security concerns with respect to your Account or an attempted Transaction or a counterparty involved, e.g. because of a suspected security breach, potential technical failure, suspected fraudulent or criminal behaviour.

If your attempted Transaction is inconsistent with your Account’s  previous behaviour or stated purpose or above previously established limits, we may request additional information or clarifications from you and must receive such information before processing new Transactions initiated by you.

Our ability to manage online fraud, protect users from possible cases of unauthorized transactions, research and potentially rectify claims related to potentially unauthorized Transactions, significantly depend on our ability to rely on technical and structural elements of the financial system we operate in and on strong authentication solutions available in various regions. If your Transaction falls within the scope of the EU 2nd Payments Services Directive, you are liable for any loss resulting from unauthorized transactions subject to the terms and conditions as defined by the Articles 73 and 74 of this Directive.

Please note that you will bear all losses arising from or related to any unauthorized Transactions if you acted fraudulently, made false representations to us with respect to your identity or the nature of your activities or violated any other parts of these terms.

As required by applicable regulations, we will notify you in the event of suspected or actual fraud or security threats via your registered e-mail, phone number or other communication method, as applicable.

• Taxes

All charges are exclusive of taxes. It is your sole responsibility to determine whether, and to what extent, any taxes apply to any Transactions associated with the Transactions you conduct through the Service, and to withhold, collect, report, and remit the correct amounts of taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. We are not obliged to determine whether taxes or duties apply and are not responsible for calculating, collecting, reporting, or remitting any taxes or duties to any authority arising from any Transaction.

If, to the extent permitted by us from time to time, you grant express permission to a third party to access or connect to your Account, either through the third party’s product or service or through the website, you acknowledge that granting permission to a third party to take specific actions on your behalf does not relieve you of any of your responsibilities under this agreement. You are fully responsible for all acts or omissions of any third party using your Account credentials. Further, you acknowledge and agree that you will not hold us responsible for, and will indemnify us from, any liability arising out of or related to any act or omission of any third party using your Account credentials.
