-
You must be the owner or trustee of the money you are intending to transfer.
-
Our Service
-
This agreement applies to all transactions that you subsequently enter into with us.
-
While we will always endeavour to complete transactions as quickly as possible, there may be circumstances in which we are unable to do so. Therefore, we always reserve the right to delay (see paragraph 3.5) or refuse to accept any transaction without giving you any reasons and without incurring any liability to you for any resulting loss or damages incurred by you or any other party (see clause 6).
-
Transactions
-
If you wish to enter into a transaction with us, you may do so by depositing funds into our nominated bank account using the unique reference number that we provide you. The transaction will be legally binding on you when we receive your funds into our account in accordance with the paragraphs in clause 3.
-
We will not provide you any confirmation that any deposit you have made has been received. We will only provide you with confirmation of the transaction once it has been completed. Details of the transaction will be sent through the communication channels you have nominated and will be immediately available to you through our website.
-
Once a transaction has become legally binding, you may not cancel or amend any of the details of the transaction under any circumstances.
-
You acknowledge that exchange rates can fluctuate rapidly, so the rate you receive for a particular transaction is contingent on the current market rate for the chosen cryptocurrency at the point we process your transaction. You acknowledge that the quantity of your chosen cryptocurrency you receive for the transaction may increase or decrease from the time you made your deposit into our bank account.
-
You acknowledge that delays in the transmission and receipt of payments may occur. In particular, you acknowledge that we operate an online service that could be subject to technical or other problems, the nature and duration of which may be beyond our control. Our service involves the use of intermediaries who are outside our control. While we do everything reasonably within our power to ensure the timely exchange and transmission of funds, we cannot guarantee that transfers will always be made on time and cannot accept any liability to you or any other person for any loss suffered, directly or indirectly, as a result of any delays in the completion of a transaction. We will be under no obligation to inform you of any delay that may apply to your transaction, however in this event we will endeavour to process your transaction at the earliest opportunity.
-
Payment by You to Us
-
You acknowledge that we accept funds by electronic means only. We do not accept cash, cheques or other payment instruments. You agree to make all payments to our nominated bank account electronically.
-
You must provide us with full, accurate details of any bank accounts you wish to use to fund the use of our service. This includes the full name and address of the account holder and the account name, account number and country in which the account is held before you enter into any transaction with us. Failure to do so may result in your transaction being delayed (see clause 3) or refused (see clause 6).
-
All payments must be in cleared funds and for the full amount you wish to exchange, including any transaction fees that may be payable and any service fees that have been requested by us before we will undertake any transaction for you.

Misdirected Funds

In the event your funds are sent to the wrong Address as the result of a mistake by you, and we have acted in accordance with the information you provided alongside your deposit, we will be under no obligation to either recover the funds or to resend the funds to the correct Address.
-
In the event your funds are sent to the wrong Address as a result of a mistake made by us, we will take urgent action to recover those funds at our own expense, provided you take immediate action to assist us to recover any such funds if the mistaken beneficiary Address is owned by, or associated with you in some way. Where we are unable to recover the funds, we will re-execute the transaction for the gross amount deposited at our own expense and transfer the value, less fees, to your Default Address.
-
Transaction Refusal
