  1. The Services

Description of Services. Payfura allows users to engage in transactions directly with Payfura for the purchase or sale of certain digital currencies (each currency usable on the Site, a “Digital Currency ”) in exchange for fiat currency or another Digital Currency (each such transaction, an “Digital Currency Transaction”).

Payfura’s current pricing information for the Digital Currencies may be viewed through the Site. Please note that Digital Currency prices are volatile and fluctuate throughout the day, and any pricing information obtained through the Site is for informational purposes only. In order to conduct a Digital Currency Transaction, you must log into your Payfura Account and input the desired transaction details (e.g., purchase or sale, the currency you wish to purchase/sell, and amount). Payfura will then provide its current pricing information for your chosen currency[ies].  If you accept the pricing displayed, you can then accept and confirm the Digital Currency Transaction. If you do not accept the pricing displayed, you can choose not to proceed and cancel.

Once you accept the price and confirm, Payfura settles the Digital Currency Transaction by executing a corresponding debit to your chosen payment method (credit, debit or prepaid card, bank account or third-party provided digital currency wallet, as applicable) and crediting your designated third-party digital currency wallet with the purchased digital currency or your bank account with fiat currency, as applicable.

Wallets.  Payfura does not offer digital currency wallets. In order to use the Payfura Services, you must provide us with the address of one or more third-party provided digital currency wallets to which we can transfer your purchased Digital Currency (a “ Linked Wallet”). You may only link digital currency wallets that you own and control to your Payfura Account. By providing us with the address to send purchased Digital Currency, you represent and warrant that you own and control such a wallet. If at any time you no longer own or control a third-party provided digital currency wallet that is linked to your Payfura Account, you must notify us and remove such wallet from your Payfura Account immediately.

Payment Method. In order to purchase Digital Currency from Payfura, you must provide a valid and accepted payment method, which will be linked to your Payfura Account (your “Linked Payment Method ”). Upon Payfura’s verification of your payment method(s), you will be able to engage Digital Currency Transactions.

During registration for your Payfura Account, you agree to provide us with the information we request for the purposes of identity verification and the detection of money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud or any other financial crime and permit us to keep a record of such information. You will need to complete certain verification procedures before you are permitted to use the Payfura Services.

The information we request may include certain personal information, including but not limited to your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, date of birth, taxpayer identification number, government identification, and information regarding your bank account (such as the name of the bank, the account type, routing number and account number) and in some cases (where permitted by law), special categories of personal data, such as your biometric information.

You further agree to keep us updated if any of the information you provided changes.

You authorize us to make inquiries, whether directly or through third parties, that we consider necessary to verify your identity or protect you and/or us against fraud or other financial crime and to take action we reasonably deem necessary based on the results of such inquiries.

This could result in the inability to buy or sell for periods of time and may also lead to support-response-time delays. Although we strive to provide you with excellent service, we do not represent that the Payfura Site or Services will be available without interruption and we do not guarantee that any order will be executed, accepted, recorded or remain open.

  1. Digital currency purchases and sales

Purchase or Sale of Digital Currencies.  When you purchase Digital Currency using your Account, you are purchasing directly from Payfura. You can purchase Digital Currency using your Linked Payment Method. Your purchase must follow the relevant instructions on the Site. You can sell certain Digital Currencies directly to Payfura and instruct Payfura to deposit the proceeds from the sale into your linked bank account or debit card.

Digital Currency prices are volatile and Payfura reserves the right to cancel any transaction not confirmed by you within ten 10 seconds after Payfura quotes a transaction price. A purchase of Digital Currency using your Linked Payment Method generally will initiate on the business day we receive your instructions. Payfura will transfer the purchased Digital Currency to your designated Linked Wallet as soon as funds have settled to Payfura which in the case of a bank account or credit or debit card may take up to five business days. You can sell Digital Currency and instruct Payfura to deposit funds into your verified bank account or onto your debit card or, where supported, a Digital Currency Wallet. If Payfura cannot complete your Digital Currency Transaction for any reason (such as price movement, market latency or order size), Payfura will reject the order and notify you of such rejection. You will not be charged for a rejected transaction.

Fees.  A full list of Payfura fees can be found on our Pricing and Fees Disclosures page. By using Payfura Services you agree to pay all applicable fees. Payfura reserves the right to adjust its pricing and fees and any applicable waivers at any time. We will always notify you of the pricing and fees which apply to your Digital Currency Transaction when you authorize the transaction and in each receipt we issue to you. We may charge network fees (miner fees) to process a Digital Currency Transaction. We will calculate the network fee in our discretion, although we will always notify you of the network fee at or before the time you authorize the Digital Currency Transaction. If Payfura cannot complete your Digital Currency Transaction for any reason (such as price movement, market latency or order size), Payfura will reject the order and notify you of such rejection. You will not be charged for a rejected transaction.

Unauthorized and Incorrect Transactions. When a Digital Currency Transaction occurs using your credentials, we will assume that you authorized such transaction, unless you notify us otherwise. If you believe you did not authorize a particular transaction or that a transaction was incorrectly carried out, you must contact us as soon as possible either by email or at https://payfura.com.

Reversals & Cancellations. You cannot cancel, reverse or change any Digital Currency Transaction marked as complete or pending. If your payment is not successful, if your payment method has insufficient funds or if you reverse a payment made from funds in your bank account, you authorize Payfura, in its sole discretion, to either cancel the transaction or to debit your other Linked Payment Methods in any amount necessary to complete the Digital Currency Transaction on its original terms. You are responsible for maintaining an adequate balance and/or sufficient credit limits in order to avoid overdraft, non-sufficient funds (NSF) or similar fees charged by your financial services provider. We reserve the right to refuse to process or to cancel or reverse any Digital Currency Transaction in our sole discretion, even after funds have been debited from your Linked Payment Method(s),if we suspect the transaction meets any criteria set forth in Section [5.5]. In such instances, Payfura will reverse the transaction and we are under no obligation to allow you to reinstate a purchase or sale order at the same price or under the same terms as the cancelled transaction.

  1. E-sign disclosure and consent

Scope of Communications to Be Provided in Electronic Form. You understand and agree that we may provide you with any or all of the following types of communications electronically: (i) legally required disclosures, notices and other communications associated with your access to or use of the Services, including, but not limited to information about fees or charges, and any and all legally required pre- and post-transaction disclosures; (ii) customer service communications; (iii) privacy policies and notices; (iv) changes to this Agreement, (v) statements, information and records regarding your transactions; (vi) information regarding the debiting or charging, as applicable of your selected payment method; (vii) any and all legally required error resolution policies, and responses to claims filed in connection with your access to or use of the Services; (viii) any other communications related to your access to and/or use of the Services, and (ix) with your consent, marketing and other promotional communications (collectively, “ Communications”).

Communications in Writing. All Communications in either electronic or paper format from us to you will be considered “in writing.” You should print or download for your records a copy of this Agreement and any other Communication that is important to you.

Method of Providing Communications to You in Electronic Form. All Communications that we provide to you in electronic form will be provided either (i) via e-mail, (ii) by access to a web site that we will designate in an e-mail notice we send to you at the time the information is available, or (iii) to the extent permitted by law, on the Site or via SMS text message. You agree to promptly review all Communications sent to you, and that these are reasonable procedures for sending and receiving electronic communications.

How to Update Your Records. To receive electronic Communications, at the time that you first use the Services, you must provide us with a true, accurate and complete e-mail address and your contact information, and you must promptly notify us of any changes to this information. You can update information (such as your e-mail address) through the Site.

Hardware and Software Requirements. In order to access, view, and retain electronic Communications that we make available to you, you must have an electronic device that enables access to your e-mail account or a commercially available Internet browser. You may wish to utilize a device that is capable of storing or printing the Communications for your records.

Requesting Paper Copies. If you have consented to receive electronic Communications, we will not send you a paper copy of any Communication unless we deem it appropriate to do so. You can obtain a paper copy of an electronic Communication by printing it yourself. We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to provide a paper (instead of electronic) copy of any Communication that you have authorized us to provide electronically. You may obtain a paper copy of any legally-required Communications and or agreements. You may request such a paper copy by visiting https://payfura.com or contacting us at team@payfura.com.

How to Withdraw Consent. You may withdraw your consent to receive Communications in electronic form at any time by visiting https://payfura.com/ or contacting us at team@payfura.com. Any withdrawal of your consent to receive electronic Communications will be effective only after we have received your request for withdrawal and have a reasonable period of time to process such request. In the meantime, you will continue to receive Communications in electronic form. By withdrawing your consent, you will no longer be able to use the Services. Withdrawing consent to receive marketing communications only does not preclude use of the Services, however. If you withdraw your consent, the legal validity and enforceability of prior Communications delivered in electronic form will not be affected, and your previous electronic records will remain accessible for such period as is required under law and in a form that allows the record to be accurately reproduced to all persons who are entitled under law to access the record.

Federal Law. You acknowledge and agree that your consent to electronic Communications is being provided in connection with a transaction affecting interstate commerce that is subject to the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“ E-SIGN Act”), and that you and we both intend that the E-Sign Act apply to the fullest extent possible to validate our ability to conduct business with you by electronic means.
