You agree to bear the full responsibility in the case of transfers made in breach of this clause.
17. Risks of Digital Assets
17.1. Kindly be aware that there are inherent risks associated with transactions involving Digital Assets. When a transaction is submitted to a blockchain network, it remains unconfirmed for a certain duration until the blockchain network provides sufficient confirmation. During this pending state, the transaction is not considered complete. If any transfers of Digital Assets to or from external wallet addresses are in a pending state, they will be identified as such, and the respective Digital Asset will not be included in your Digital Asset Wallet or accessible for conducting transactions.
17.2. During the transfer of Digital Assets, there is an inherent risk that these assets may be lost if the community supporting the transfer or the issuers/managers of the Digital Assets collapse, fail, or go bankrupt. In such situations, if your Digital Assets are in a pending state of transfer, they could potentially lose substantial value or be completely lost.
17.3. The risk of loss in holding Digital Assets can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether holding Digital Assets is suitable for you in light of your financial situation. In considering whether to hold Digital Assets, you should be aware that the price or value of Digital Assets can change rapidly, decrease, and potentially even fall to zero. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. If you use any of our Services which allow you and/or third parties to access and hold Digital Asset private keys, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for safeguarding such keys and that we are not responsible for any loss of Digital Assets resulting from theft, loss, or mishandling of Digital Asset private keys outside our control.
17.4.
We bear no responsibility for the Digital Assets market and do not provide any guarantees or assurances regarding the actual or perceived value of Digital Assets in relation to any quoted currency. While we may offer historical and/or real-time data on Digital Asset prices, including graphs illustrating price fluctuations within the Application or your profile, such information is solely intended for reference purposes. We do not assert the quality, suitability, truthfulness, usefulness, accuracy, or comprehensiveness of such data or graphs, and you should not rely on them for any purpose whatsoever. You acknowledge that the value of Digital Assets can be highly volatile, and you agree that we cannot be held accountable or liable for any losses you may incur as a result of holding or trading Digital Assets, even in the event of delays, suspensions, or interruptions in our Service for any reason.

a. if we are concerned about the security of your Card or account or we suspect your Card or account is being used in an unauthorised or fraudulent manner;
b. if sufficient funds are not paid into your account at the time of a transaction to cover the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees;
c. if there is a negative balance on your account;
d. if we have reasonable grounds to believe that you are not using your Card or account in accordance with these Issuer Terms;
e. if we believe that a transaction is potentially suspicious or illegal (for example, if we believe that a transaction is being made fraudulently); or
f. because of errors, failures (whether mechanical or otherwise) or refusal to process a transaction by merchants, payment processors or payment schemes.
If we refuse a transaction, we will tell you why, if we can, unless it would be unlawful for us to do so. You may correct any information we hold and which may have caused us to refuse a transaction by contacting customer support.
• Ordering a Replacement Card
To order a replacement Card if your Card is lost or stolen, contact Customer Support. Fees may apply.
• Expiration
Your Card will be valid until the expiry date stated on the Card. After it expires, you will no longer be able to transact using the Card.
If we’re unable to contact you based on our records of your contact information six (6) months or more after the expiry date of your Card, we will hold the remaining balance(s) on your Card. Contact customer support to retrieve any funds on your Card.
• Stolen or lost Cards
If you lose your Card or it is stolen, or you suspect that someone else has found out your PIN or security information or accessed your account without your permission, you must tell us immediately by contacting customer support and block the card immediately via your profile. Your Card will be cancelled immediately, and your account may be blocked. If, after reporting a lost Card, you subsequently find the Card you should contact our support team to request reactivation.
• Account closure by us
We may cancel your Card and this agreement by giving you at least 1 month notice.
We may also cancel your Card immediately if we:
a. suspect unauthorised or fraudulent use of your Card;
b. have any other security concerns;
c. need to close your account in accordance with these T&C; or
d. need to do so to comply with the law.
We may also deny access to your Card and/or account where we consider it to be at risk of money laundering or terrorism financing, fraud or other criminal activity. If we need to take these actions and where possible, we will give reasons for doing so except where restricted by law. In these circumstances, you must tell us what you want us to do with any unused funds.
• Your responsibility
You are responsible for:
a. All charges and other amounts incurred through your use of the Card at any time, including any amounts outstanding after you stop using the Card or if we suspend or cancel your Card; and
b. Complying with any and all laws, rules and regulations of your jurisdiction that may apply to you in connection with your use of the Card, including but not limited to, activities of import and export, taxes or foreign currency transactions. We will not be responsible for the execution of tax obligations, or calculation and transfer of taxes applied to you.
It is extremely important to keep your Card and Profile information safe and secure, as well as your email address and devices you may use to access your Profile. You will be responsible for limiting access to your Card and keeping your Profile secure.
• Our responsibility
If we incorrectly deduct funds from your account, we will refund them. If we subsequently establish that the refunded amount had in fact been correctly deducted, we may deduct it from your available balance and may charge you a fee. If you do not have sufficient available balance, you must repay us the amount immediately on demand. If unauthorised transactions occur after you have notified us of the loss, theft, compromise or unauthorised use of your Card or account, and you have not acted fraudulently or in breach of these Terms and Conditions, then we will be liable. We will not be liable to you in connection with or arising from your use of or inability to use your Card as a result or in connection with any of the following:
a. failed, missed, delayed, or fraudulent transactions, payment transmission errors, or any other issues related to payment or the processing, loading and/or transfer of money between you and the Card Issuer as the loading channel;
b. the Card Issuer’s failure to convey any notice, instructions or communications to us or other third parties on your behalf, accurately, in a timely manner or at all;
c. any unauthorised access to, disclosure of, wrongful or fraudulent use of your Card(s), Profile, Service, personal data, PIN and password to the extent not attributable to any acts or omissions on part of us;
d. any error, negligence, wilful default, misconduct, fraud, act, omission, breach or failure of, or contravention of applicable laws by, any other party (including you and the Card Issuer);
e. any refusal by a merchant to accept your Card
f. for any interruption, disruption or impairment of our service or any third-party services on which we rely for the performance of our obligations hereunder; for refusing to authorise a transaction;
g. for cancelling or suspending use of your Card;
h. for any loss arising from your inability to use your Card or access your account due to interruptions;
i. for any direct or indirect loss or damage you may suffer including loss of revenue, loss of reputation, goodwill, opportunity or anticipated savings as a result of your total or partial use or inability to use your Card;
j. for the quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services purchased with your Card; and
k. any abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, however so caused.
• Card Interruption
From time to time, your ability to use your Card or account may be interrupted. If this happens, you may be unable to use your Card. In addition, like other payment cards, we cannot guarantee a merchant will accept your Card, or that we will necessarily authorise any particular transaction. This may be because of a system problem, something outside our reasonable control, to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, or because we have suspended, restricted or cancelled your account or refused to replace it in accordance with these Issuer Terms.
• Contacting you in an emergency
We may need to contact you urgently if we suspect or find fraudulent activity has occurred on your account (provided we are not prohibited from doing so by law) or if we suffer a security threat. To do so, we may (for example) send you a text message instead of calling or emailing you, if we think this is the quickest way to contact you. When we contact you, we will also give you information on how you can minimise any risk to your payment instrument depending on the nature of the security threat.
We will use the same contact details which you have already provided us with when contacting you. You must inform us immediately if your personal details or contact information change.
• Complaints
If you need any help or want to make a comment or complaint, please contact our customer service. We aim to resolve all enquiries within 30 calendar days.

• Changes to these Issuer Terms
We may make changes to our Issuer Terms from time to time. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Card before the planned commencement date of the new changes. Continuing use of the Card means that you accept our new changes. Certain changes may occur immediately and without notice. This may happen when we are required to make changes by law, or where we make minor changes to these Issuer Terms that do not impact your rights and remedies or our obligations.
• Assignment
If we consider it to be operationally necessary, we may at any time assign or transfer the rights and novate the obligations to another entity without your consent. If that happens, from the effective date of the transfer, these Issuer Terms will be an agreement between you and the successor entity and that entity will assume our rights and obligations as if it were itself a party to these Issuer Terms. Your rights and obligations under these Issuer Terms will remain the same and we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable.
• Governing law and dispute resolution
English law will apply to all disputes and the interpretation of these Terms. The English courts will have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from or related to your use of the Card.

2. Fiat Deposits are not reversible or refundable, unless we determine, at our discretion, to do so. In addition, we may, at our absolute discretion, reverse, cancel, void or refuse to process any Fiat deposits.
3. Fiat Deposits are subject to our Fees and limits as referenced in the “Settings” section of your profile, which may be updated from time to time.

Subject to Applicable Law and without prejudicing our rights to claim further damages from you, you shall immediately indemnify us for any loss and damage and expenses arising from any mistaken, erroneous or fraudulent Fiat Deposits (which may include but are not limited to, depositing to a wrong recipient bank account, transactions made from or to a non-Permitted Bank Account or from or to a non-supported payment scheme, or transfers exceeding our prescribed limits) given by you or sent from your account (collectively "Erroneous Deposits").

Within your profile, you are able to open digital asset wallets and be assigned a personal cryptocurrency address for deposit of digital assets. You may also transfer, exchange, swap and utilize your digital asset holdings for any of the available services within your profile.
We will process all Digital Asset Transfers in accordance with the instructions provided by you, and we do not check or guarantee the accuracy of the withdrawal address you provide, or the counterparty.
You acknowledge to indemnify us from any liability arising thereof an erroneous transfer of digital assets, such as but not limited to, transfer of an asset from a wrong blockchain, transfer to an incorrect address, transfer of unsupported asset.
You hereby agree that you may receive and transfer digital assets to counterparties which are not subject to any sanctions, and are not involved in any prohibited business sphere as per those Terms & Conditions, and are not for any illegal purpose. You agree to bear the full responsibility in the case of transfers made in breach of this clause.
17. Risks of Digital Assets
17.1. Kindly be aware that there are inherent risks associated with transactions involving Digital Assets. When a transaction is submitted to a blockchain network, it remains unconfirmed for a certain duration until the blockchain network provides sufficient confirmation. During this pending state, the transaction is not considered complete. If any transfers of Digital Assets to or from external wallet addresses are in a pending state, they will be identified as such, and the respective Digital Asset will not be included in your Digital Asset Wallet or accessible for conducting transactions.
17.2. During the transfer of Digital Assets, there is an inherent risk that these assets may be lost if the community supporting the transfer or the issuers/managers of the Digital Assets collapse, fail, or go bankrupt. In such situations, if your Digital Assets are in a pending state of transfer, they could potentially lose substantial value or be completely lost.
17.3. The risk of loss in holding Digital Assets can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether holding Digital Assets is suitable for you in light of your financial situation. In considering whether to hold Digital Assets, you should be aware that the price or value of Digital Assets can change rapidly, decrease, and potentially even fall to zero. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. If you use any of our Services which allow you and/or third parties to access and hold Digital Asset private keys, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for safeguarding such keys and that we are not responsible for any loss of Digital Assets resulting from theft, loss, or mishandling of Digital Asset private keys outside our control.
17.4.
We bear no responsibility for the Digital Assets market and do not provide any guarantees or assurances regarding the actual or perceived value of Digital Assets in relation to any quoted currency. While we may offer historical and/or real-time data on Digital Asset prices, including graphs illustrating price fluctuations within the Application or your profile, such information is solely intended for reference purposes.

These terms and conditions apply to your Profile, your use of the Service, and your Visa prepaid card (the “Card”). Please read them carefully.
By ordering a Card you agree to be bound by these Terms and you should therefore read them carefully.
The Card is a physical or virtual Visa prepaid card which can be used wherever Visa is accepted. The Card can be used for both instore and online purchases, as well as to withdraw cash from automated cash machines.
Your Card supports Euro currency. You will need to load the card via your profile before you can make purchases or withdrawals.
Your Card is funded directly by funds held on your Profile. Once loaded, funds are held on your Card. These funds do not earn interest and are not bank deposits.
Your Card is not a credit line and does make credit available to you. You must have sufficient funds of your own loaded onto your Card to cover any purchase or withdrawal.
• Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and a UK or EEA resident /in exception of the EEA outermost regions/ to apply for and use a Card. You must also have already created a Profile and accepted our Terms, as well as verified your identity with us.
• Activating your Card
When you first receive your Card, you must sign the back of the card as indicated.
• Loading funds onto your Card
Your Card has to be loaded by funds held on your Profile. Once you top up your card with funds, they are not available to be used in your profile or reversed via your profile. Fees apply according to the Fee Schedule.
If your card is lost/stolen and there is balance in it, you should contact our support team in order to reverse the balance. Please, note the minimum amount for balance reversal is 100 Eur, fees apply.
• PIN number
PIN number is visible at the time of card activation via your profile, and only you can see it. Please, make a note of it. PIN number cannot be changed.
• Fees and limits
You can check the Fees applying to your card usage in your Profile, section Settings.
Make sure you have enough funds to cover both the value of any purchases or withdrawals and fees associated with the transaction, or your transaction may be declined.
You are responsible for any third-party fees you incur as a result of using your Card, for instance, fees you may incur from international or foreign currency ATM withdrawals.
• Using your Card
Only you are authorised to use your Card. You can use your Card to spend or withdraw funds you have loaded onto the Card. Your Card can be used anywhere Visa is accepted. We is not liable for any charges or losses where you use your Card where Visa is not accepted.
A Card transaction is authorised when you:
a. enter your PIN or provide any other security code;
b. sign a sales voucher;
c. provide your Card details and/or any other details as requested; or
d. wave, tap or swipe the Card over a card reader.
Only funds loaded onto your Visa prepaid Card can be spent. The Card does not offer any form of credit line to you. If you attempt to transact or withdraw using the Card and do not have sufficient funds loaded onto your Card, the transaction or withdrawal may be declined.
In some cases, you may incur a delayed charged, such as when using public transport. You are liable for all charges made with your Card. In the rare event that you incur a negative balance on your Card because you do not have sufficient funds to cover delayed transactions, you will be fully liable to us to cover the amount of any negative balances plus any applicable fees, charges and costs incurred by us in attempting to recover the required amount from you.
At all times, we’ll show your Card balance on your Profile, which will be updated regularly to reflect purchases and withdrawals you make with the Card.
• Statements
Statements are available to be downloaded directly from your Profile.
• Errors, transaction disputes and unauthorised transactions
Ensure that you retain all records and receipts of transactions you make with your Card. You can check all of your transaction details at any time on your Profile.
If you don’t notify us of any errors, disputes, and unauthorised transactions within 13 months of a transaction or withdrawal, we’ll assume them to be true. To notify us, contact our support team and we’ll get back to you. We’ll do our best to resolve the issue as soon as possible. We’ll solely decide whether an issue is attributable to us, the Card Issuer, or our third-party service providers. Where we, the Card Issuer, or our third-party service providers are not at fault, we will have no liability to you.
Where payee details provided by you are incorrect, we are not liable for non-execution or defective execution of the payment transaction, but we will make reasonable efforts to recover the funds involved in the payment transaction and notify you of the outcome.
We can return money paid to your payment instrument by mistake, however, if you don’t think a payment made to you from a payment service provider in the EEA was a mistake, we may also be allowed to share your personal information with the paying payment service provider so that you can be contacted directly. This is because we are required to cooperate with other payment service providers and share all relevant information in order to assist with tracing money which is sent to the wrong person.
If you give us the wrong details for a payment or you tell us about an incorrect payment more than 13 months after it was made, we won’t give you a refund but we’ll try and trace it for you. We may charge you a reasonable fee to cover our costs in doing this.
• Refunds
Ensure that you authorise transactions and withdrawals which you are sure you want to make, as you cannot stop or reverse a payment or withdrawal. If you want to receive a refund for a purchase, you will need to contact the merchant you paid directly to request a refund. If the merchant decides to issue a refund to you, the merchant must issue a valid refund voucher to us in order for us to credit the refund to your Card.
Any dispute you have with a merchant over goods or services you purchased with your Card must be taken up directly with the merchant. Any dispute you have with the services provided by an ATM must be taken up with the ATM operator.
We may, but is not required, to file a formal dispute with a merchant on your behalf, after you have attempted to contact them. In these circumstances, you must provide us with all relevant and correct information concerning the dispute.
Refunds will be credited to your Card corresponding to the currency used to issue the refund. If this currency is not supported by your Card, the refund will be converted at applicable exchange rates and fees.
• Security
You must keep your Card and security credentials safe and not let anyone else know or use them. You must keep your security information secret at all times; never disclose your PIN or security information to anyone and do not store details of your PIN with your Card. Security information includes your login and password details used to access your account or any other website where your Card or account details are stored. We also recommend that you check the balance on your Card regularly on your Profile.
We will not be held liable where you fail to keep your Card secure.

a. Make purchases with merchants who do not accept the Card;

Your Card will be cancelled immediately, and your account may be blocked. If, after reporting a lost Card, you subsequently find the Card you should contact our support team to request reactivation.

a. suspect unauthorised or fraudulent use of your Card;
b. have any other security concerns;
c. need to close your account in accordance with these T&C; or

If we subsequently establish that the refunded amount had in fact been correctly deducted, we may deduct it from your available balance and may charge you a fee. If you do not have sufficient available balance, you must repay us the amount immediately on demand. If unauthorised transactions occur after you have notified us of the loss, theft, compromise or unauthorised use of your Card or account, and you have not acted fraudulently or in breach of these Terms and Conditions, then we will be liable. We will not be liable to you in connection with or arising from your use of or inability to use your Card as a result or in connection with any of the following:
a. failed, missed, delayed, or fraudulent transactions, payment transmission errors, or any other issues related to payment or the processing, loading and/or transfer of money between you and the Card Issuer as the loading channel;
b. the Card Issuer’s failure to convey any notice, instructions or communications to us or other third parties on your behalf, accurately, in a timely manner or at all;
c. any unauthorised access to, disclosure of, wrongful or fraudulent use of your Card(s), Profile, Service, personal data, PIN and password to the extent not attributable to any acts or omissions on part of us;
d. any error, negligence, wilful default, misconduct, fraud, act, omission, breach or failure of, or contravention of applicable laws by, any other party (including you and the Card Issuer);

j. for the quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services purchased with your Card; and
k. any abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, however so caused.
• Card Interruption
From time to time, your ability to use your Card or account may be interrupted. If this happens, you may be unable to use your Card. In addition, like other payment cards, we cannot guarantee a merchant will accept your Card, or that we will necessarily authorise any particular transaction. This may be because of a system problem, something outside our reasonable control, to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, or because we have suspended, restricted or cancelled your account or refused to replace it in accordance with these Issuer Terms.
• Contacting you in an emergency
We may need to contact you urgently if we suspect or find fraudulent activity has occurred on your account (provided we are not prohibited from doing so by law) or if we suffer a security threat. To do so, we may (for example) send you a text message instead of calling or emailing you, if we think this is the quickest way to contact you. When we contact you, we will also give you information on how you can minimise any risk to your payment instrument depending on the nature of the security threat.
We will use the same contact details which you have already provided us with when contacting you. You must inform us immediately if your personal details or contact information change.
• Complaints
If you need any help or want to make a comment or complaint, please contact our customer service. We aim to resolve all enquiries within 30 calendar days.
Please give us the opportunity to resolve your complaint. We will respond to any complaints within 15 business days of receiving your complaint, except in exceptional circumstances beyond our control.

If that happens, from the effective date of the transfer, these Issuer Terms will be an agreement between you and the successor entity and that entity will assume our rights and obligations as if it were itself a party to these Issuer Terms.

17. Risks of Digital Assets
17.1. Kindly be aware that there are inherent risks associated with transactions involving Digital Assets. When a transaction is submitted to a blockchain network, it remains unconfirmed for a certain duration until the blockchain network provides sufficient confirmation. During this pending state, the transaction is not considered complete. If any transfers of Digital Assets to or from external wallet addresses are in a pending state, they will be identified as such, and the respective Digital Asset will not be included in your Digital Asset Wallet or accessible for conducting transactions.
17.2. During the transfer of Digital Assets, there is an inherent risk that these assets may be lost if the community supporting the transfer or the issuers/managers of the Digital Assets collapse, fail, or go bankrupt. In such situations, if your Digital Assets are in a pending state of transfer, they could potentially lose substantial value or be completely lost.
17.3. The risk of loss in holding Digital Assets can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether holding Digital Assets is suitable for you in light of your financial situation. In considering whether to hold Digital Assets, you should be aware that the price or value of Digital Assets can change rapidly, decrease, and potentially even fall to zero. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. If you use any of our Services which allow you and/or third parties to access and hold Digital Asset private keys, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for safeguarding such keys and that we are not responsible for any loss of Digital Assets resulting from theft, loss, or mishandling of Digital Asset private keys outside our control.
17.4.
We bear no responsibility for the Digital Assets market and do not provide any guarantees or assurances regarding the actual or perceived value of Digital Assets in relation to any quoted currency. While we may offer historical and/or real-time data on Digital Asset prices, including graphs illustrating price fluctuations within the Application or your profile, such information is solely intended for reference purposes. We do not assert the quality, suitability, truthfulness, usefulness, accuracy, or comprehensiveness of such data or graphs, and you should not rely on them for any purpose whatsoever. You acknowledge that the value of Digital Assets can be highly volatile, and you agree that we cannot be held accountable or liable for any losses you may incur as a result of holding or trading Digital Assets, even in the event of delays, suspensions, or interruptions in our Service for any reason.

If we’re unable to contact you based on our records of your contact information six (6) months or more after the expiry date of your Card, we will hold the remaining balance(s) on your Card. Contact customer support to retrieve any funds on your Card.
• Stolen or lost Cards
If you lose your Card or it is stolen, or you suspect that someone else has found out your PIN or security information or accessed your account without your permission, you must tell us immediately by contacting customer support and block the card immediately via your profile. Your Card will be cancelled immediately, and your account may be blocked. If, after reporting a lost Card, you subsequently find the Card you should contact our support team to request reactivation.
• Account closure by us
We may cancel your Card and this agreement by giving you at least 1 month notice.
We may also cancel your Card immediately if we:
a. suspect unauthorised or fraudulent use of your Card;
b. have any other security concerns;
c. need to close your account in accordance with these T&C; or
d. need to do so to comply with the law.
We may also deny access to your Card and/or account where we consider it to be at risk of money laundering or terrorism financing, fraud or other criminal activity. If we need to take these actions and where possible, we will give reasons for doing so except where restricted by law. In these circumstances, you must tell us what you want us to do with any unused funds.
• Your responsibility
You are responsible for:
a. All charges and other amounts incurred through your use of the Card at any time, including any amounts outstanding after you stop using the Card or if we suspend or cancel your Card; and

Complying with any and all laws, rules and regulations of your jurisdiction that may apply to you in connection with your use of the Card, including but not limited to, activities of import and export, taxes or foreign currency transactions. We will not be responsible for the execution of tax obligations, or calculation and transfer of taxes applied to you.
It is extremely important to keep your Card and Profile information safe and secure, as well as your email address and devices you may use to access your Profile. You will be responsible for limiting access to your Card and keeping your Profile secure.
• Our responsibility
If we incorrectly deduct funds from your account, we will refund them. If we subsequently establish that the refunded amount had in fact been correctly deducted, we may deduct it from your available balance and may charge you a fee. If you do not have sufficient available balance, you must repay us the amount immediately on demand. If unauthorised transactions occur after you have notified us of the loss, theft, compromise or unauthorised use of your Card or account, and you have not acted fraudulently or in breach of these Terms and Conditions, then we will be liable. We will not be liable to you in connection with or arising from your use of or inability to use your Card as a result or in connection with any of the following:
a. failed, missed, delayed, or fraudulent transactions, payment transmission errors, or any other issues related to payment or the processing, loading and/or transfer of money between you and the Card Issuer as the loading channel;
b. the Card Issuer’s failure to convey any notice, instructions or communications to us or other third parties on your behalf, accurately, in a timely manner or at all;
c. any unauthorised access to, disclosure of, wrongful or fraudulent use of your Card(s), Profile, Service, personal data, PIN and password to the extent not attributable to any acts or omissions on part of us;
d. any error, negligence, wilful default, misconduct, fraud, act, omission, breach or failure of, or contravention of applicable laws by, any other party (including you and the Card Issuer);
e. any refusal by a merchant to accept your Card
f. for any interruption, disruption or impairment of our service or any third-party services on which we rely for the performance of our obligations hereunder; for refusing to authorise a transaction;
g. for cancelling or suspending use of your Card;
h. for any loss arising from your inability to use your Card or access your account due to interruptions;
i. for any direct or indirect loss or damage you may suffer including loss of revenue, loss of reputation, goodwill, opportunity or anticipated savings as a result of your total or partial use or inability to use your Card;
j. for the quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services purchased with your Card; and
k. any abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, however so caused.
• Card Interruption
From time to time, your ability to use your Card or account may be interrupted. If this happens, you may be unable to use your Card. In addition, like other payment cards, we cannot guarantee a merchant will accept your Card, or that we will necessarily authorise any particular transaction. This may be because of a system problem, something outside our reasonable control, to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, or because we have suspended, restricted or cancelled your account or refused to replace it in accordance with these Issuer Terms.
• Contacting you in an emergency
We may need to contact you urgently if we suspect or find fraudulent activity has occurred on your account (provided we are not prohibited from doing so by law) or if we suffer a security threat. To do so, we may (for example) send you a text message instead of calling or emailing you, if we think this is the quickest way to contact you. When we contact you, we will also give you information on how you can minimise any risk to your payment instrument depending on the nature of the security threat.
We will use the same contact details which you have already provided us with when contacting you. You must inform us immediately if your personal details or contact information change.

This may happen when we are required to make changes by law, or where we make minor changes to these Issuer Terms that do not impact your rights and remedies or our obligations.
• Assignment
If we consider it to be operationally necessary, we may at any time assign or transfer the rights and novate the obligations to another entity without your consent. If that happens, from the effective date of the transfer, these Issuer Terms will be an agreement between you and the successor entity and that entity will assume our rights and obligations as if it were itself a party to these Issuer Terms. Your rights and obligations under these Issuer Terms will remain the same and we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable.
• Governing law and dispute resolution
English law will apply to all disputes and the interpretation of these Terms. The English courts will have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from or related to your use of the Card.

We will process all Digital Asset Transfers in accordance with the instructions provided by you, and we do not check or guarantee the accuracy of the withdrawal address you provide, or the counterparty.

You agree to bear the full responsibility in the case of transfers made in breach of this clause.
17. Risks of Digital Assets
17.1. Kindly be aware that there are inherent risks associated with transactions involving Digital Assets. When a transaction is submitted to a blockchain network, it remains unconfirmed for a certain duration until the blockchain network provides sufficient confirmation. During this pending state, the transaction is not considered complete. If any transfers of Digital Assets to or from external wallet addresses are in a pending state, they will be identified as such, and the respective Digital Asset will not be included in your Digital Asset Wallet or accessible for conducting transactions.
17.2. During the transfer of Digital Assets, there is an inherent risk that these assets may be lost if the community supporting the transfer or the issuers/managers of the Digital Assets collapse, fail, or go bankrupt. In such situations, if your Digital Assets are in a pending state of transfer, they could potentially lose substantial value or be completely lost.
17.3. The risk of loss in holding Digital Assets can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether holding Digital Assets is suitable for you in light of your financial situation. In considering whether to hold Digital Assets, you should be aware that the price or value of Digital Assets can change rapidly, decrease, and potentially even fall to zero. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. If you use any of our Services which allow you and/or third parties to access and hold Digital Asset private keys, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for safeguarding such keys and that we are not responsible for any loss of Digital Assets resulting from theft, loss, or mishandling of Digital Asset private keys outside our control.
17.4.
We bear no responsibility for the Digital Assets market and do not provide any guarantees or assurances regarding the actual or perceived value of Digital Assets in relation to any quoted currency. While we may offer historical and/or real-time data on Digital Asset prices, including graphs illustrating price fluctuations within the Application or your profile, such information is solely intended for reference purposes. We do not assert the quality, suitability, truthfulness, usefulness, accuracy, or comprehensiveness of such data or graphs, and you should not rely on them for any purpose whatsoever. You acknowledge that the value of Digital Assets can be highly volatile, and you agree that we cannot be held accountable or liable for any losses you may incur as a result of holding or trading Digital Assets, even in the event of delays, suspensions, or interruptions in our Service for any reason.

We may make changes to our Terms and policies from time to time. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using our services before the planned commencement date of the new changes. Continuing to use the Wallex Service means that you accept our new changes.

23. Our responsibility to you
The Wallex Service allows you to purchase services and products, and provides you with content and information that are owned or developed by third parties, or that operate on or are supported by third party networks.

Sometimes we might be entitled to be compensated by you, for instance due to a technical error in your favour, when you have a negative balance on your account, or when you use the Wallex Service in such a way that violates the Terms.

Your Card is issued by a licensed third party provider. Your use of the Card is subject to the following terms and conditions that set out the agreement between you and the card Issuer (the “Issuer Terms”). If you decide to order and use a Card, you must also read and accept the Issuer Terms.
These terms and conditions apply to your Profile, your use of the Service, and your Visa prepaid card (the “Card”). Please read them carefully.
By ordering a Card you agree to be bound by these Terms and you should therefore read them carefully.
The Card is a physical or virtual Visa prepaid card which can be used wherever Visa is accepted. The Card can be used for both instore and online purchases, as well as to withdraw cash from automated cash machines.
Your Card supports Euro currency. You will need to load the card via your profile before you can make purchases or withdrawals.
Your Card is funded directly by funds held on your Profile. Once loaded, funds are held on your Card. These funds do not earn interest and are not bank deposits.
Your Card is not a credit line and does make credit available to you. You must have sufficient funds of your own loaded onto your Card to cover any purchase or withdrawal.
• Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and a UK or EEA resident /in exception of the EEA outermost regions/ to apply for and use a Card. You must also have already created a Profile and accepted our Terms, as well as verified your identity with us.
• Activating your Card
When you first receive your Card, you must sign the back of the card as indicated.
• Loading funds onto your Card
Your Card has to be loaded by funds held on your Profile. Once you top up your card with funds, they are not available to be used in your profile or reversed via your profile. Fees apply according to the Fee Schedule.
If your card is lost/stolen and there is balance in it, you should contact our support team in order to reverse the balance. Please, note the minimum amount for balance reversal is 100 Eur, fees apply.
• PIN number
PIN number is visible at the time of card activation via your profile, and only you can see it. Please, make a note of it. PIN number cannot be changed.
• Fees and limits
You can check the Fees applying to your card usage in your Profile, section Settings.
Make sure you have enough funds to cover both the value of any purchases or withdrawals and fees associated with the transaction, or your transaction may be declined.
You are responsible for any third-party fees you incur as a result of using your Card, for instance, fees you may incur from international or foreign currency ATM withdrawals.
• Using your Card
Only you are authorised to use your Card. You can use your Card to spend or withdraw funds you have loaded onto the Card. Your Card can be used anywhere Visa is accepted. We is not liable for any charges or losses where you use your Card where Visa is not accepted.
A Card transaction is authorised when you:
a. enter your PIN or provide any other security code;
b. sign a sales voucher;
c. provide your Card details and/or any other details as requested; or
d. wave, tap or swipe the Card over a card reader.
Only funds loaded onto your Visa prepaid Card can be spent. The Card does not offer any form of credit line to you. If you attempt to transact or withdraw using the Card and do not have sufficient funds loaded onto your Card, the transaction or withdrawal may be declined.
In some cases, you may incur a delayed charged, such as when using public transport. You are liable for all charges made with your Card. In the rare event that you incur a negative balance on your Card because you do not have sufficient funds to cover delayed transactions, you will be fully liable to us to cover the amount of any negative balances plus any applicable fees, charges and costs incurred by us in attempting to recover the required amount from you.
At all times, we’ll show your Card balance on your Profile, which will be updated regularly to reflect purchases and withdrawals you make with the Card.
• Statements
Statements are available to be downloaded directly from your Profile.
• Errors, transaction disputes and unauthorised transactions
Ensure that you retain all records and receipts of transactions you make with your Card. You can check all of your transaction details at any time on your Profile.
If you don’t notify us of any errors, disputes, and unauthorised transactions within 13 months of a transaction or withdrawal, we’ll assume them to be true. To notify us, contact our support team and we’ll get back to you. We’ll do our best to resolve the issue as soon as possible. We’ll solely decide whether an issue is attributable to us, the Card Issuer, or our third-party service providers. Where we, the Card Issuer, or our third-party service providers are not at fault, we will have no liability to you.
Where payee details provided by you are incorrect, we are not liable for non-execution or defective execution of the payment transaction, but we will make reasonable efforts to recover the funds involved in the payment transaction and notify you of the outcome.
We can return money paid to your payment instrument by mistake, however, if you don’t think a payment made to you from a payment service provider in the EEA was a mistake, we may also be allowed to share your personal information with the paying payment service provider so that you can be contacted directly. This is because we are required to cooperate with other payment service providers and share all relevant information in order to assist with tracing money which is sent to the wrong person.
If you give us the wrong details for a payment or you tell us about an incorrect payment more than 13 months after it was made, we won’t give you a refund but we’ll try and trace it for you. We may charge you a reasonable fee to cover our costs in doing this.
• Refunds
Ensure that you authorise transactions and withdrawals which you are sure you want to make, as you cannot stop or reverse a payment or withdrawal. If you want to receive a refund for a purchase, you will need to contact the merchant you paid directly to request a refund. If the merchant decides to issue a refund to you, the merchant must issue a valid refund voucher to us in order for us to credit the refund to your Card.
Any dispute you have with a merchant over goods or services you purchased with your Card must be taken up directly with the merchant. Any dispute you have with the services provided by an ATM must be taken up with the ATM operator.
We may, but is not required, to file a formal dispute with a merchant on your behalf, after you have attempted to contact them. In these circumstances, you must provide us with all relevant and correct information concerning the dispute.
Refunds will be credited to your Card corresponding to the currency used to issue the refund. If this currency is not supported by your Card, the refund will be converted at applicable exchange rates and fees.
• Security
You must keep your Card and security credentials safe and not let anyone else know or use them. You must keep your security information secret at all times; never disclose your PIN or security information to anyone and do not store details of your PIN with your Card. Security information includes your login and password details used to access your account or any other website where your Card or account details are stored. We also recommend that you check the balance on your Card regularly on your Profile.
We will not be held liable where you fail to keep your Card secure.

c. if there is a negative balance on your account;
d. if we have reasonable grounds to believe that you are not using your Card or account in accordance with these Issuer Terms;

Your Card will be cancelled immediately, and your account may be blocked. If, after reporting a lost Card, you subsequently find the Card you should contact our support team to request reactivation.

We may also cancel your Card immediately if we:
a. suspect unauthorised or fraudulent use of your Card;
b. have any other security concerns;
c. need to close your account in accordance with these T&C; or
d. need to do so to comply with the law.
We may also deny access to your Card and/or account where we consider it to be at risk of money laundering or terrorism financing, fraud or other criminal activity.

It is extremely important to keep your Card and Profile information safe and secure, as well as your email address and devices you may use to access your Profile. You will be responsible for limiting access to your Card and keeping your Profile secure.

If we subsequently establish that the refunded amount had in fact been correctly deducted, we may deduct it from your available balance and may charge you a fee. If you do not have sufficient available balance, you must repay us the amount immediately on demand. If unauthorised transactions occur after you have notified us of the loss, theft, compromise or unauthorised use of your Card or account, and you have not acted fraudulently or in breach of these Terms and Conditions, then we will be liable. We will not be liable to you in connection with or arising from your use of or inability to use your Card as a result or in connection with any of the following:
a. failed, missed, delayed, or fraudulent transactions, payment transmission errors, or any other issues related to payment or the processing, loading and/or transfer of money between you and the Card Issuer as the loading channel;
b. the Card Issuer’s failure to convey any notice, instructions or communications to us or other third parties on your behalf, accurately, in a timely manner or at all;
c. any unauthorised access to, disclosure of, wrongful or fraudulent use of your Card(s), Profile, Service, personal data, PIN and password to the extent not attributable to any acts or omissions on part of us;

j. for the quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services purchased with your Card; and
k. any abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, however so caused.
• Card Interruption
From time to time, your ability to use your Card or account may be interrupted. If this happens, you may be unable to use your Card. In addition, like other payment cards, we cannot guarantee a merchant will accept your Card, or that we will necessarily authorise any particular transaction. This may be because of a system problem, something outside our reasonable control, to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, or because we have suspended, restricted or cancelled your account or refused to replace it in accordance with these Issuer Terms.
• Contacting you in an emergency
We may need to contact you urgently if we suspect or find fraudulent activity has occurred on your account (provided we are not prohibited from doing so by law) or if we suffer a security threat. To do so, we may (for example) send you a text message instead of calling or emailing you, if we think this is the quickest way to contact you. When we contact you, we will also give you information on how you can minimise any risk to your payment instrument depending on the nature of the security threat.
We will use the same contact details which you have already provided us with when contacting you. You must inform us immediately if your personal details or contact information change.
• Complaints
If you need any help or want to make a comment or complaint, please contact our customer service. We aim to resolve all enquiries within 30 calendar days.

17. Risks of Digital Assets
17.1. Kindly be aware that there are inherent risks associated with transactions involving Digital Assets. When a transaction is submitted to a blockchain network, it remains unconfirmed for a certain duration until the blockchain network provides sufficient confirmation. During this pending state, the transaction is not considered complete. If any transfers of Digital Assets to or from external wallet addresses are in a pending state, they will be identified as such, and the respective Digital Asset will not be included in your Digital Asset Wallet or accessible for conducting transactions.
17.2. During the transfer of Digital Assets, there is an inherent risk that these assets may be lost if the community supporting the transfer or the issuers/managers of the Digital Assets collapse, fail, or go bankrupt. In such situations, if your Digital Assets are in a pending state of transfer, they could potentially lose substantial value or be completely lost.
17.3. The risk of loss in holding Digital Assets can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether holding Digital Assets is suitable for you in light of your financial situation. In considering whether to hold Digital Assets, you should be aware that the price or value of Digital Assets can change rapidly, decrease, and potentially even fall to zero. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. If you use any of our Services which allow you and/or third parties to access and hold Digital Asset private keys, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for safeguarding such keys and that we are not responsible for any loss of Digital Assets resulting from theft, loss, or mishandling of Digital Asset private keys outside our control.
17.4.
We bear no responsibility for the Digital Assets market and do not provide any guarantees or assurances regarding the actual or perceived value of Digital Assets in relation to any quoted currency. While we may offer historical and/or real-time data on Digital Asset prices, including graphs illustrating price fluctuations within the Application or your profile, such information is solely intended for reference purposes. We do not assert the quality, suitability, truthfulness, usefulness, accuracy, or comprehensiveness of such data or graphs, and you should not rely on them for any purpose whatsoever. You acknowledge that the value of Digital Assets can be highly volatile, and you agree that we cannot be held accountable or liable for any losses you may incur as a result of holding or trading Digital Assets, even in the event of delays, suspensions, or interruptions in our Service for any reason.

Complying with any and all laws, rules and regulations of your jurisdiction that may apply to you in connection with your use of the Card, including but not limited to, activities of import and export, taxes or foreign currency transactions. We will not be responsible for the execution of tax obligations, or calculation and transfer of taxes applied to you.
It is extremely important to keep your Card and Profile information safe and secure, as well as your email address and devices you may use to access your Profile. You will be responsible for limiting access to your Card and keeping your Profile secure.
• Our responsibility
If we incorrectly deduct funds from your account, we will refund them. If we subsequently establish that the refunded amount had in fact been correctly deducted, we may deduct it from your available balance and may charge you a fee. If you do not have sufficient available balance, you must repay us the amount immediately on demand. If unauthorised transactions occur after you have notified us of the loss, theft, compromise or unauthorised use of your Card or account, and you have not acted fraudulently or in breach of these Terms and Conditions, then we will be liable. We will not be liable to you in connection with or arising from your use of or inability to use your Card as a result or in connection with any of the following:
a. failed, missed, delayed, or fraudulent transactions, payment transmission errors, or any other issues related to payment or the processing, loading and/or transfer of money between you and the Card Issuer as the loading channel;
b. the Card Issuer’s failure to convey any notice, instructions or communications to us or other third parties on your behalf, accurately, in a timely manner or at all;
c. any unauthorised access to, disclosure of, wrongful or fraudulent use of your Card(s), Profile, Service, personal data, PIN and password to the extent not attributable to any acts or omissions on part of us;
d. any error, negligence, wilful default, misconduct, fraud, act, omission, breach or failure of, or contravention of applicable laws by, any other party (including you and the Card Issuer);
e. any refusal by a merchant to accept your Card
f. for any interruption, disruption or impairment of our service or any third-party services on which we rely for the performance of our obligations hereunder; for refusing to authorise a transaction;
g. for cancelling or suspending use of your Card;
h. for any loss arising from your inability to use your Card or access your account due to interruptions;
i. for any direct or indirect loss or damage you may suffer including loss of revenue, loss of reputation, goodwill, opportunity or anticipated savings as a result of your total or partial use or inability to use your Card;
j. for the quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services purchased with your Card; and
k. any abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, however so caused.
• Card Interruption
From time to time, your ability to use your Card or account may be interrupted. If this happens, you may be unable to use your Card. In addition, like other payment cards, we cannot guarantee a merchant will accept your Card, or that we will necessarily authorise any particular transaction. This may be because of a system problem, something outside our reasonable control, to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, or because we have suspended, restricted or cancelled your account or refused to replace it in accordance with these Issuer Terms.
• Contacting you in an emergency
We may need to contact you urgently if we suspect or find fraudulent activity has occurred on your account (provided we are not prohibited from doing so by law) or if we suffer a security threat. To do so, we may (for example) send you a text message instead of calling or emailing you, if we think this is the quickest way to contact you. When we contact you, we will also give you information on how you can minimise any risk to your payment instrument depending on the nature of the security threat.
We will use the same contact details which you have already provided us with when contacting you. You must inform us immediately if your personal details or contact information change.
• Complaints
If you need any help or want to make a comment or complaint, please contact our customer service. We aim to resolve all enquiries within 30 calendar days.
Please give us the opportunity to resolve your complaint. We will respond to any complaints within 15 business days of receiving your complaint, except in exceptional circumstances beyond our control. In any event, we will respond to your complaint within 35 business days of receiving your compliant.
• Personal Information (include change of info)
Keeping your personal data safe is important to us. How we handle your personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy.
If your details such as name, address, email address, and telephone or mobile number change, let us know immediately.
• Changes to these Issuer Terms
We may make changes to our Issuer Terms from time to time. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Card before the planned commencement date of the new changes. Continuing use of the Card means that you accept our new changes. Certain changes may occur immediately and without notice. This may happen when we are required to make changes by law, or where we make minor changes to these Issuer Terms that do not impact your rights and remedies or our obligations.
• Assignment
If we consider it to be operationally necessary, we may at any time assign or transfer the rights and novate the obligations to another entity without your consent. If that happens, from the effective date of the transfer, these Issuer Terms will be an agreement between you and the successor entity and that entity will assume our rights and obligations as if it were itself a party to these Issuer Terms. Your rights and obligations under these Issuer Terms will remain the same and we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable.
• Governing law and dispute resolution
English law will apply to all disputes and the interpretation of these Terms. The English courts will have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from or related to your use of the Card. This does not affect your rights under the law of the country in which you are resident, including (where applicable) your right to have a dispute in relation to your use of the Card heard in the courts of that country.
• Other miscellaneous items
No third-party rights are created in these Issuer Terms. Only you, as the holder of the Wirex Profile will have any rights to enforce these Terms. You cannot assign or transfer any of your rights under these Issuer Terms to someone else.
Where we do not enforce our rights under these Issuer Terms, we do not waive our rights. We may transfer or assign our rights under these Issuer Terms at any time.
Unless stated otherwise in these Issuer Terms, if any provision of these Issuer Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the extent possible.

1.3 Third-Party Content and Services. In certain Products you may view, have access to, and may use the informational content, products, or services of one or more third parties (“Third Party Content” and “Third Party Services” respectively). In each such case, you agree that you view, access or use such content and services at your own election. Your reliance on any Third Party Content and use of Third Party Services in connection with the Products is governed on one hand by this Agreement but, on the other, will also generally be subject to separate terms and conditions set forth by the applicable third party content and/or service provider. Those terms and conditions may involve separate fees and charges or may include disclaimers or risk warnings about reliance on or the accuracy of any information. Such terms may also apply a privacy policy different than that which Wallex maintains and incorporates into this Agreement.

Third Party Content and Third Party Services are provided for your convenience only. We do not verify, curate, or control Third Party Content. We do not control Third Party Services.

2. Changes.
2.1 To the Products. We may change or discontinue any or all of the Products or change or remove functionality of any or all of the Products from time to time. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate to you any discontinuation of an Offering through the Site or public communication channels. If you are on a Paid Plan, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate to you any discontinuation of the Offering at least 30 days in advance of such discontinuation, and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue supporting the Offering for up to three months after the discontinuation, except if doing so (a) would pose an information security or intellectual property issue, (b) is economically or technically burdensome, or (c) would create undue risk of us violating the law.
2.2 To this Agreement. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace any part of this Agreement or any Policies at any time. It is your responsibility to check this Agreement periodically for changes, but we will also use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate any material changes to this Agreement through the Site, email (if you have an account), or public channels. You agree that your continued use of or access to the Products following the posting of any changes to this Agreement constitutes acceptance of those changes, whether or not you were checking for changes or actually read the changes.
3. Your Responsibilities.
3.1 Use of the Products. For any Products, whether they require that you set up an account with Wallex or they do not , and except to the extent caused by our breach of this Agreement, (a) you are responsible for all activities that occur with respect to your use of the Products, regardless of whether the activities are authorized by you or undertaken by you, your employees or a third party (including your contractors, agents or other End Users), and (b) we and our affiliates are not responsible for unauthorized access to the Products or your account, including any access that occurred as a result of fraud, phishing, or other criminal activity perpetrated against you by third parties. You will ensure that your use of the Products does not violate any applicable law.
3.2 Your Security and Backup. You are solely responsible for properly configuring and using the Products and otherwise taking appropriate action to secure, protect, and backup your accounts and/or Your Content in a manner that will provide appropriate security and protection, which might include use of encryption. If you are not able to be responsible for your own account security, or do not want such an obligation, then you should not use the Products. Your obligations under this Agreement include ensuring any available software updates or upgrades to an Offering you are using are promptly installed or implemented, and recording and securely maintaining any passwords or secret recovery phrases that relate to your use of the Products. You acknowledge that certain methods of securing your secret recovery phrase, such as storing it as a digital file on your personal device or on a cloud storage provider, may increase the risk that your account or secret recovery phrase will be compromised. You further acknowledge that you will not share with us nor any other third party any password or secret recovery phrase that relates to your use of the Products, and that we will not be held responsible if you do share any such password or phrase, whether you do so knowingly or unknowingly. For the avoidance of doubt, we take no responsibility whatsoever for any theft of a secret recovery phrase that involved intrusion into a cloud provider’s data repository.
3.3 Log-In Credentials and API Authentication. To the extent we provide you with log-in credentials and API authentication generated by the Products, such log-in credentials and API authentication are for your use only and you will not sell, transfer, or sublicense them to any other entity or person, except that you may disclose your password or private key to your agents and subcontractors performing work on your behalf.
3.4 Applicability to Products that facilitate access to addresses on blockchain protocols. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms of this Section 3 are applicable to all Products through which you generate a public/private key pair (which can be thought of as a blockchain account and related password) either with a blockchain protocol directly or with Third Party Products, such as decentralized applications. You are solely responsible for the use and security of these security keys and that we will not be held responsible if you share any keys or secret recovery phrases with anyone else, whether knowingly or unknowingly or you loose your access.
4. Fees and Payment.
4.1 Publicly Available Products. Some Products may be offered to the public and licensed on a royalty free basis, including Products that require a Paid Plan for software licensing fees above a certain threshold of use. These terms apply to all Products regardless of whether they require a Paid Plan.
4.2 Offering Fees. If your use of an Offering does not require an Order or Paid Plan but software licensing fees are charged contemporaneously with your use of the Offering, those fees will be charged as described on the Site or in the user interface of the Offering. Such fees may be calculated by combining a fee charged by us and a fee charged by a Third Party Offering that provides certain functionality related to the Offering. For those Products which entail an Order or Paid Plan, we calculate and bill fees and charges according to your Order or Paid Plan. For such Products, on the first day of each billing period, you will pay us the applicable fees (the “Base Fees”) and any applicable taxes based on the Products in the Paid Plan. In addition, for particular Orders, we may issue an invoice to you for all charges above the applicable threshold for your Paid Plan which constitute overage fees for the previous billing period. If you make any other changes to the Products during a billing period (for example, upgrading or downgrading your Paid Plan), we will apply any additional charges or credits to the next billing period. We may bill you more frequently for fees accrued at our discretion upon notice to you. You will pay all fees in U.S. dollars unless the particular Offering specifies a different form of payment or otherwise agreed to by you and us in writing. All amounts payable by you under this Agreement will be paid to us without setoff or counterclaim, and without any deduction or withholding. Fees and charges for any new Offering or new feature of an Offering will be effective when we use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate updated fees and charges through our Site, the interface of the Offering itself, or other public channels or, if you are on a Paid Plan, upon commercially reasonable efforts to notify you directly, but we may expressly state when notifying you that another effective date applies. We may increase or add new fees and charges for any existing Products you are using by using commercially reasonable efforts to notify users of the Products through our Site, the interface of the Offering itself, other public channels or, if you are on a Paid Plan, by giving you 30 days’ notice. Unless otherwise specified in an Order, all Paid Plan amounts due under this Agreement are payable within 30 days following receipt of your invoice. We may elect to charge you interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) on all late payments.
4.3 Taxes. Each party will be responsible, as required under applicable law, for identifying and paying all taxes and other governmental fees and charges (and any penalties, interest, and other additions thereto) that are imposed on that party upon or with respect to the transactions and payments under this Agreement. All fees payable by you are exclusive taxes unless otherwise noted. We reserve the right to withhold taxes where required.
5. Temporary Suspension; Limiting API Requests.
5.1 Generally. We may suspend your right to access or use any portion or all of the Products immediately if we determine:
(a) your use of the Products (i) poses a security risk to the Products or any third party, (ii) could adversely impact our systems, the Products, or the systems of any other user, (iii) could subject us, our affiliates, or any third party to liability, or (iv) could be unlawful;
(b) you are, or any End User is, in breach of this Agreement;
(c) you are in breach of your payment obligations under Section 4 for 30 days or longer; or
(d) for entities, you have ceased to operate in the ordinary course, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar disposition of your assets, or become the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceeding.
5.2 Effect of Suspension. If we suspend your right to access or use any portion or all of an Offering:
(a) you remain responsible for all fees and charges you incur during the period of suspension; and
(b) you will not be entitled to any fee credits for any period of suspension.
5.3 Limiting API Requests. We retain sole discretion to limit your API requests (“API Requests”) submitted in conjunction with your use of an Offering at any time if your usage of the Offering exceeds the usage threshold specified in your Paid Plan or otherwise on the Site or user interface of the Offering. Further, excessive API requests, as determined by Wallex in our sole discretion, may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your access to an account or to your use of the applicable Offering. Wallex is not required but will endeavor, when reasonable, to warn an account owner or user prior to suspension.
6. Term; Termination.
6.1 Term. For Products subject to a Paid Plan, the term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will remain in effect until terminated under this Section 6 or by separate written agreement. Any notice of termination of this Agreement by either party to the other must include a Termination Date that complies with the notice periods in Section 6.2. For Products that are not subject to a Paid Plan, the term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will remain in effect until you stop accessing or using the Products.
6.2 Termination.
(a) Termination for Convenience. If you are not on a Paid Plan, you may terminate this Agreement for any reason by ceasing use of the Offering. For Paid Plans, Wallex may terminate this Agreement for any reason after providing 30 calendar days’ written notice.
(b) Termination for Cause.
(i) By Either Party. Either party may terminate this Agreement for cause if the other party is in material breach of this Agreement and the material breach remains uncured for a period of 30 days from receipt of the other party’s notice of breach.
(ii) By Us. We may also terminate this Agreement for cause immediately (A) if we have the right to suspend under Section 5, (B) if our relationship with a third-party partner who provides software or other technology we use to provide the Products expires, terminates, or requires us to change the way we provide the software or other technology as part of the Products, or (C) in order to avoid undue risk of violating the law.
6.3 Effect of Termination. Upon the Termination Date:
(i) all your rights under this Agreement immediately terminate; and
(ii) each party remains responsible for all fees and charges it has incurred through the Termination Date and are responsible for any fees and charges it incurs during the post-termination period;
(iii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement to the full extent necessary for their enforcement and for the protection of the party in whose favor they operate. For instance, should this Agreement between you and us terminate, any dispute raised after you stop accessing or using the Products will be subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement if that dispute relates to your prior access or use.
For any use of the Products after the Termination Date, the terms of this Agreement will again apply and, if your use is under a Paid Plan, you will pay the applicable fees at the rates under Section 4.
7. Proprietary Rights.
7.1 Your Content. Depending on the Offering, you may share Content with us. Except as provided in this Section 7, we obtain no rights under this Agreement from you (or your licensors) to Your Content; however, you consent to our use of Your Content in any manner that is consistent with the purpose of your use of the Products or that otherwise facilitates providing the Products to you.

7.3 License Restrictions. Neither you nor any End User will use the Products in any manner or for any purpose other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement. Except for as authorized, neither you nor any End User will, or will attempt to (a) modify, distribute, alter, tamper with, repair, or otherwise create derivative works of any Content included in the Products (except to the extent Content included in the Products is provided to you under a separate license that expressly permits the creation of derivative works), (b) reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile the Products or apply any other process or procedure to derive the source code of any software included in the Products (except to the extent applicable law doesn’t allow this restriction), (c) access or use the Products in a way intended to avoid incurring fees or exceeding usage limits or quotas, (d) use scraping techniques to mine or otherwise scrape data except as permitted by a Plan, or (e) resell or sublicense the Products unless otherwise agreed in writing.

8. Indemnification.
8.1 General.

11. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
11.1 Binding Arbitration. Any dispute, claim or controversy (“Claim”) relating in any way to this Agreement, the Site, or your use of the Products will be resolved by binding arbitration as provided in this Section 11, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify.
11.2 Class Action Waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND WE EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION OR SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS. Unless both you and we agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
11.3 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out via the in app chat with subject line LEGAL OPT OUT. The notice must be sent within 30 days of your first use of the Products, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes and will be deemed to have agreed to waive any right to pursue a class action in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these provisions, we will also not be bound by them.
