Section I.1

Purchase Orders and Confirmation Text Message.

Section I.1

Purchase Orders and Confirmation Text Message.

a.      To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, New Zealand law, including the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (the "AML/CFT obligations"), requires us to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each individual who uses or seeks to use the CoinFlip Preferred Services. What this means for you: when you seek to become a customer of ours or initiate a cryptocurrency transaction, we may ask for your name, address, date of birth, information about the source of funds and other information that will allow us to identify you (which may include information about your legal representative or anyone acting on your behalf or any beneficial owners) before you become a customer.  We may also ask you to provide this information again or for additional information at any time. We may also ask to see your driver’s licence or other identifying documents. This required identifying information may change at any time for any reason. We are not liable for any loss incurred by you as a result of any action by us which either delays a transaction from occurring or results in a transaction being declined, when these actions are necessary for us to comply with our AML/CFT obligations. We reserve the right to reject any person as a Customer of the CoinFlip Preferred Services at our discretion.

b.      To initiate a transaction with CoinFlip Preferred, you must fill out and submit to us various documents, including, but not limited to a Registration Form, a User Acknowledgement Form, a Purchase Order form, and any other documentation as may reasonably be requested by us. A link to the Purchase Order form can be found in the email you received from us approving you as a CoinFlip Preferred customer. After we receive your Purchase Order, we will send you an email with instructions for: (1) providing a funds transfer to us (for the purchase of cryptocurrency) or (2) transferring cryptocurrency to our cryptocurrency wallet (for the sale of cryptocurrency).

c.      In the event of a purchase, after you complete the funds transfer to us, we will send a text message (“Transaction Text Message”) to you seeking confirmation of the transaction between us and you. The Transaction Text Message will be sent to the number provided to us by you when you registered.  The Transaction Text Message will include, among other information: (1) the Market Price of the cryptocurrency you seek to buy and (2) the Transaction Fee to be charged to you by us. 

d.      In the event of a sale, after you complete the transfer of cryptocurrency to us, we will review the potential transaction to determine if we are able to complete the sale. After confirmation, we will send a Transaction Text Message to you seeking confirmation of the transaction between us and you. The Transaction Text Message will be sent to the number provided to us by you and when you registered for CoinFlip Preferred. The Transaction Text Message will include, among other information: (1) the Market Price of the cryptocurrency you seek to sell and (2) the Transaction Fee to be charged to you by us. We may choose to deny any attempted sale for any reason. By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you agree that we are not liable for denying any attempted sale of cryptocurrency.

e.      If you want to confirm the transaction, you must respond to the Transaction Text Message with: (1) “confirmed” and (2) provide (a) in the case of a purchase of cryptocurrency by you, the cryptocurrency wallet address that we are directed by you to send the cryptocurrency to or (b) in the case of a sale of cryptocurrency by you, the account number we are directed by you to send the fiat currency (New Zealand dollars or as otherwise applicable) to.

f.       By confirming the transaction detailed in the Transaction Text Message, you agree: (1) to the terms and fees outlined in the Transaction Text Message and (2) the timing outlined in Section I.3 below.

g.      You agree that we can charge the Market Price as calculated at the actual time of the transaction and not the time that you confirm the Transaction Text Message. Although we use commercially reasonable methods to provide the Market Price to you, such information may differ from prevailing exchange rates made available by third parties. We hereby disclaim all responsibility for any loss or damage arising from or relating to price fluctuations, latencies or differences in actual versus indicated prevailing rates.

h.      In the event of a sale, we will use reasonable endeavours to process the sale of the cryptocurrency within 30 minutes. We are unable to reverse the sale of any cryptocurrency after it is completed. Although the sale of cryptocurrency will typically occur within 30 minutes of confirmation, it may take up to one business day to receive your funds. If the sale of cryptocurrency is initiated on a non-business day, the sale may not occur until the next business day. By confirming the transaction, you agree that we are not liable for the sale of any cryptocurrency sent to us or any delays in funds sent to your bank account.

Section I.2

Purchase and Sale.

Section I.2

i.       If you confirm the transaction with us by responding to the Transaction Text Message as described in Section I.1(c) or (d) (as applicable), we will: (1) in the case of a purchase of cryptocurrency by you from us, execute and later transfer your purchased cryptocurrency to the wallet address provided to us by you in response to the Transaction Text Message or (2) in the case of a sale of cryptocurrency by you to us, execute and later transfer the company purchase price to the account provided to us by you in response to the Transaction Text Message.

j.       You are responsible for providing an accurate wallet address and/or account information in the Purchase Order and in response to the Transaction Text Message. We will confirm that the wallet address and/or account information provided by you in the Purchase Order and in response to the Transaction Text Message are the same. If they do not match, the transaction will not be completed. We disclaim any liability for damages caused by you providing the wrong wallet address and/or account information. You are advised to ensure that the wallet address and/or account information provided to us in the Purchase Order and response to the Transaction Text Message are accurate and matching.

k.      In the event a Purchase Order is not confirmed by you by responding to a Transaction Text Message within 48 hours, we shall have the right to terminate such Purchase Order in our sole discretion. In the event of any such cancellation, you will be responsible for all associated transaction fees involved in the return of funds, including but not limited to, wire transfer fees and mining fees associated with the respective Cryptocurrency Network. You specifically authorise us to withhold from the fiat currency or cryptocurrency you sent to us such fees when such fiat currency or cryptocurrency is returned to you.

l.       If a Purchase Order is cancelled as the result of any action by you, you will be responsible for all associated transaction fees involved in the return of the funds, including but not limited to bank transaction fees and mining fees associated with the respective Cryptocurrency Network. An action by you includes any information obtained by us which results in your Purchase Order being rejected by our compliance department. You specifically authorise us to withhold from the fiat currency or cryptocurrency you sent to us such fees when such fiat currency or cryptocurrency is returned to you.

m.    The Parties acknowledge that all transactions involving any purchased cryptocurrency by you or Company purchased cryptocurrency are final and cannot be reversed.

n.      On rare occasions, we may transfer the wrong amount of cryptocurrency (in the case of a purchase of cryptocurrency by you) or fiat currency (in the case of a sale of cryptocurrency by you). In such instances, we or you agree to notify the other party in a reasonable amount of time after discovering the error so that it can be corrected. You agree that if we transfer too large an amount of cryptocurrency or fiat currency (New Zealand dollars or as otherwise applicable) to you, you will repay us the excess cryptocurrency or fiat currency. If we do not transfer enough cryptocurrency or fiat currency (New Zealand dollars or as otherwise applicable), we will transfer such amounts as necessary to correct the transaction.
