Users who wish to avail bank account connectivity or payment card services are obligated to undergo Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) verification procedures. This step ensures the authenticity and compliance of user identities with regulatory standards.

This may include documentation such as a Power of Attorney or other relevant forms of authorization. By registering an Account, you understand and warrant that appointing a third party to act on your behalf, even with explicit permission to perform actions like registering an Account and linking your Metamask wallet to the Account does not absolve you of your obligations under these Terms.

4. KYC/AML Verification

4.1 KYC/AML Verification Process

KYC/AML Verification is a procedure conducted by us to assess the background and eligibility of our customers for enabling bank transfers or payment card services in accordance with the requirements and provisions of the applicable anti-money laundering laws. We ensure that KYC/AML Verification procedures are conducted for all users registering an Account in strict adherence to the due diligence measures prescribed by the relevant laws.

KYC/AML Verification process is an essential component of our commitment to ensuring a secure and compliant environment for our Users. As part of this process, we collect and process certain personal information to fulfil our legal obligations and enhance the security of our App. We undertake the collection and processing of personal information in strict accordance with our own Privacy Policy. 

4.2 Plaid Services

We may utilize services provided by Plaid for specific aspects of the verification process, such as bank account linking and identity verification. This involves verifying personal identification details, such as your name, date of birth, information about your nationality and country of residence, among others. National identification documents, including passports, driver's licenses, and similar documents that feature a portrait photograph, are accepted as valid means of verification.

4.3 Review of Plaid's Privacy Policy

Plaid is an independent third-party service provider that adheres to its own privacy practices and policies. To gain a comprehensive understanding of how your data is collected and processed by Plaid, we strongly urge you to read and review Plaid's Privacy Policy separately. Plaid's privacy policy governs the handling of personal information specifically within their services, and we shall not be liable for any breaches or violations of personal data handled by Plaid resulting from acts or omissions of Plaid or any other third party.

4.4 Data Accuracy

By providing us with the information required for identity verification and KYC/AML Verification, you affirm that all the information you submit is true, accurate, and complete. You also confirm that you have not intentionally concealed or manipulated any information to influence the outcome of our assessment. If any submitted information is found to be false, inaccurate, or incomplete, you agree to promptly correct these inadequacies by providing additional documents and records to rectify the aforementioned omissions.

4.5 Notification of Changes

In the event of any changes in circumstances that affect the accuracy and integrity of the information you provided, you are obligated to promptly inform us of such changes and provide up-to-date information accordingly.

4.6 Disclosure to Authorities

We retain the right to share any information submitted to us with competent authorities as per the applicable laws and other relevant legal requirements. This action may be taken if we have substantial grounds to believe that the provided information is associated with fraudulent activities, money laundering, terrorism financing, or other financial crimes. Additionally, should we be unable to conclusively ascertain a User's affiliation with any of the aforementioned illicit activities, we may disclose such information to competent authorities for their evaluation.

5. Orders

5.1 Order Placement

By creating a Buy Order for the purposes of purchasing Crypto Funds, our system automatically directs you to the most favorable Sell Order available that offers the most favorable exchange rate and matches the total amount you intend to acquire. This process ensures efficient and competitive transactions. Conversely, when a User initiates a sale of cryptocurrency by creating a Sell Order, our App employs an escrow mechanism that triggers a transaction on your Metamask wallet, initiating the transfer of their cryptocurrency to an escrow smart contract. Specifically, users are required to utilize their Metamask wallet to confirm and authenticate the order placement. This safeguarded transaction process provides security and transparency throughout the trade.

In cases where there are no existing matching orders to fulfill your Buy Order, you have the option to create a Buy Order. Such Buy Orders are made visible to the marketplace on the front-end of our dApp, enabling you as well as other Users to view and potentially fulfill the order.

5.2 Order Execution

Please note that all Orders are executed on a prepaid basis, meaning that you must ensure the sufficient amount of funds in your Metamask account to fulfil an Order. The funds required to execute an Order are set aside until the Order is fulfilled, cancelled, expires, or is terminated. The total funds necessary for placing an Order encompass both the Order's value and any applicable fees. Please note that any Order requiring an amount exceeding the available funds in your Account will not be executed and will be declined.

By placing an Order, you acknowledge that we are not liable for the complete or partial cancellation of the Order. It's important to understand that once an Order has been processed for fulfilment, cancellation may not be possible. Prior to placing an Order, you must ensure the following:

a) You have accurately entered the desired amount of Crypto Funds for purchase or sale.

b) You have carefully reviewed the purchase or sale rates associated with your Order.

c) You have reviewed and understood the Fees applicable to your Order.

d) You have a clear understanding of the net worth of Crypto Funds to be received or sold upon Order fulfilment.

5.3 Order Fulfilment

After placing an Order, it's important to understand that there is a possibility it may not be fulfilled. Several factors can impact the fulfilment of your Orders, including but not limited to:

a) The operational status of the App, including events like downtime, planned and emergency system and software maintenance, seasonal and state holidays, and more.

b) The potential influence of your Order on the overall Market conditions, specifically whether your Order falls within the definition of Market Manipulation.

c) The availability and sufficiency of funds in your Account.

d) The condition of hardware and software, both mechanical and electronic.

e) Compliance requirements and various other relevant factors.

In the event of an unsuccessful attempt to fulfil your Order, we will promptly notify you, specifying the reasons behind the failure and seeking your consent to resubmit and re-fulfill the Order based on the current exchange rate.

You agree and acknowledge that in cases where Order execution is hindered due to factors beyond our control, including technical capabilities, failures, and other conditions outside our direct influence, we cannot be held liable for any failures or delays in Order fulfilment.

5.4 Order Matching and Execution

At present, our App does not employ an order matching system for Sell Orders. Users initiating Sell Orders may do so without the need for order matching.

In the case of Buy Orders, the Order is matched based on the total amount the User intends to purchase, meaning that a Sell Order must be equal to or greater than the desired purchase amount to be considered for matching. In cases where multiple Sell Orders satisfy the criteria of amount, priority is given to the Sell Order with the best exchange rate. This ensures that buyers receive the most favorable rate for their transactions. In cases where multiple Sell Orders have the same amount and exchange rate, the selection process may not be prioritized based on these factors.

Additionally, buyers have the option to view all available Sell Orders within the Marketplace. You may individually select any Sell Order that aligns with your preferences to initiate a transaction.

5.5 Order Confirmation

When selling Crypto Funds through our Apps, Users typically receive order confirmations as soon as the transaction is completed on Metamask, therefore, Order confirmation and its speed depend directly on technical conditions and capabilities of Metamask. In contrast, for Buy Orders placed on our App, the confirmation process is conducted directly through our interface, typically taking less than 10 seconds.

Order Confirmation contains such information as the time and date of your Order, the Order amount, the Fee paid, as well as our contact information in case you have further questions, inquiries or complaints about the Order.

Please be aware that these timeframes are non-binding, indicative and may vary based on network conditions and other factors. In no event shall we be liable for any delays in confirming your Orders as well as failures to adhere to or otherwise ensure the aforementioned confirmation speed.

5.6 Compliance-Related Non-Fulfilment

If an Order cannot be fulfilled due to compliance reasons, we retain the right to delay its fulfilment until compliance clearance is obtained. Such an Order will undergo further review within a reasonable timeframe. In the event that we are unable to clear an Order due to insufficient information or other pertinent reasons related to KYC or compliance requirements, we may request additional details concerning your identity, transaction nature, and other essential compliance-related information.

Orders failing to meet the relevant compliance requirements, particularly when necessary information has not been provided, will not be fulfilled under any circumstances. We may decline such Orders based on reasonable grounds of non-compliance with relevant requirements and legislation.

6. Conversion

6.1 Conversion Between Fiat and Crypto Funds

On our App, Users have the ability to convert between Fiat and Crypto currencies, albeit through specific procedures. The conversion process depends on whether a User is buying or selling cryptocurrency.

6.1.1 Buying Crypto Funds

The App does not support direct purchase and conversion of Fiat for Crypto and Crypto for Fiat Funds. When a User intends to purchase Crypto Funds for Fiat currency, they may do so through one of our third-party merchant partners ("Merchants"). You may place an order for purchasing Crypto Funds for Fiat by sending Fiat currency to the selected Merchant. 

6.1.2 Selling Crypto Funds

Please note that the conversion between Crypto and Fiat Funds via the App is contingent upon the availability of willing counterparties, specifically Merchants.

6.2 Connecting with Merchants

We collaborate with licensed Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) that provide both Fiat and Crypto Currency liquidity to our App in order to facilitate the possibility for transactions to and from Fiat Currencies.

We offer two options to our Users to initiate a transaction with one of our designated Merchants:

a) You may choose your preferred Merchant directly from a selection list provided before initiating the transaction, or

b) You may opt to utilize our automated routing mechanism, which identifies and directs Users to the Merchant offering the most favorable exchange rates for your transaction.

Please note that in both cases no direct integration between individual Users and the Merchant entities is required to facilitate User-to-Merchant transactions.

6.3 Liability for Third-Party Merchant Transactions

Users must understand and acknowledge that transactions involving the purchase of Crypto currency for Fiat currency from third-party Merchants are independent of our App. We expressly disclaim any liability for any aspect of these transactions, including but not limited to the Merchant's compliance with applicable laws and terms of service.

Users are urged to exercise due diligence and conduct their own research to verify the compliance of merchants with relevant laws and the applicable terms of service. It is the User's sole responsibility to ensure that any transaction with a third-party Merchant aligns with their expectations.

By engaging in transactions with third-party Merchants through our App, you explicitly waive any claims or liabilities against us in connection with such transactions. Users are encouraged to carefully review the terms of service and policies of third-party Merchants and to make informed decisions regarding their transactions involving third-party Merchants.

6.4 Exchange Rates

The Exchange Rate represents the value assigned to a Crypto Currency in relation to a Fiat Currency for the purpose of conversion, whether it involves purchasing or selling the Crypto Currency. It's important to note that Exchange Rates can vary based on the specific Crypto Currency in question and may be subject to adjustments over time.

The Exchange Rates for Crypto to Fiat Currency conversion on our App are determined by individual Merchants integrating the App. These Exchange Rates come into effect when a User engages in a specific transaction, particularly when buying Crypto Currencies for Fiat from a specific Sell Order offered by a Merchant.

It's important to note that we do not have direct control over any such Exchange Rates. Merchants have the autonomy to set their own Exchange Rates, and these Rates may vary among different Merchants on the App. Users are encouraged to carefully review the Exchange Rates offered by Merchants to make informed decisions regarding their transactions.

7. Fees

7.1 Transaction Fees

At the moment, our App does not apply any fees for wallet transactions, but third-party Merchants may apply fees.

7.2 Future Changes to Fee Structure

We are committed to ensuring transparency and fairness in our Fee structure, therefore any changes to our Fee system will be communicated to Users in advance. In the interest of transparency, we provide a notice period of 1 week before implementing any changes to our Fee structures or rates. This period allows Users an opportunity to consent to or opt-out of Fee changes.

This consent process occurs during the sign-in or registration process on our App. By agreeing to our Terms of Service, Users implicitly acknowledge and accept any forthcoming fee adjustments. In addition, to ensure you are informed about upcoming fee changes, we utilize our official social media channels as a primary mechanism for notification.

8. Transaction Limits

8.1 Definition and Application

Transaction Limits refer to the predetermined capacity set for each User upon successful registration of an Account. These limits dictate the maximum volume of transactions a User can execute within a given day. The determination of Transaction Limits takes into account the type of currency used for the transaction as well as choice of payment method. We may adjust transaction limits as needed according to our internaly policies. This determination is based on the assessment derived from the AML/KYC procedure, ensuring compliance with regulatory and security standards.

9. Deposits 

Currently, our App accepts only USDT (USD Tether) on Solana for transaction purposes. However, we are actively working to enhance our Crypto Currency offerings and will soon include USDC (USD Coin) as an additional Crypto Currency available for deposit, of which the Users will be notified promptly, once the feature of USDC deposit is implemented.

10. Prohibited Use
