ARTICLE I

SALE AND PURCHASE OF THE PURCHASED CRYPTOCURRENCY

Section I.1

Customer Eligibility and Purchase Orders.

a.      To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, South Africa’s Financial Intelligence Centre Act, 2001 (FICA) requires the Company to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Customer who uses or seeks to use the Services. What this means for you: When you request a transaction, a third-party affiliate may ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. The third-party affiliate may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents in order to verify your identity. This required identifying and verifying information may change at any time for any reason.

b.      You may be required to complete this identity verification process to the satisfaction of the Company and its third-party affiliates in order to access and use the Services or certain features of the Services. You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself. Even if you have previously verified your identity, our third-party affiliate may ask for additional information to allow them to verify your identity again. This may occur at any time, for example, if you request to make a transaction in a larger amount than your prior transactions, or if we believe there may be suspicious activity on your account. We may refuse to open an account for you or restrict or close your existing account if we cannot verify your information, or if you do not provide identifying information and documents as requested.

c.      If you are under 18 years of age, or the age of majority in your country, province or territory, you are not authorized to use the Services. The Services are for personal use only. We reserve the right to reject any person as a Customer of the Services for any lawful reason.

d.     You are not permitted to use the cryptocurrency wallet of any other person or any third party. As a Customer, you agree to use your own cryptocurrency wallet for any and all transactions.

e.      To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities(the "AML/CTF obligations"), requires us to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each individual who uses or seeks to use the Services. What this means for you: when you seek to become a client of CoinFlip or initiate a cryptocurrency transaction, CoinFlip 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 and are authorised to submit a Purchase Order.  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/CTF obligations. We reserve the right to reject any person as a Customer of the Services at our discretion.

f.       To initiate a transaction with CoinFlip’s Services, you must fill out and submit to CoinFlip a Purchase Order. A link to the Purchase Order form can be found in the email you received from CoinFlip approving you as a Customer. After CoinFlip receives your Purchase Order, CoinFlip will send you an email with instructions for: (1) providing a funds transfer to CoinFlip (for the purchase of cryptocurrency) or (2) transferring cryptocurrency to CoinFlip’s cryptocurrency wallet (for the sale of cryptocurrency).

g.      In the event of a purchase, after you complete the funds transfer to CoinFlip, CoinFlip will send a text message (“Transaction Text Message”) to you seeking confirmation of the transaction between CoinFlip and you. The Transaction Text Message will be sent to the number provided to CoinFlip 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 CoinFlip. 

h.      In the event of a sale, after you complete the transfer of cryptocurrency to CoinFlip, CoinFlip will review the potential transaction to determine if CoinFlip is able to complete the sale. After confirmation, CoinFlip will send a Transaction Text Message to you seeking confirmation of the transaction between CoinFlip and you. The Transaction Text Message will be sent to the number provided to CoinFlip by you and when you registered. 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 CoinFlip. CoinFlip may choose to deny any attempted sale for any reason. By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you agree that CoinFlip is not liable for denying any attempted sale of cryptocurrency.

i.       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 CoinFlip is directed by you to send the cryptocurrency to or (b) in the case of a sale of cryptocurrency by you, the account number CoinFlip is directed by you to send the fiat currency (South African rand) to.

j.       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.

k.      You agree that CoinFlip 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 CoinFlip uses commercially reasonable methods to provide the Market Price to you, such information may differ from prevailing exchange rates made available by third parties. CoinFlip hereby disclaims all responsibility for any loss or damage arising from or relating to price fluctuations, latencies or differences in actual versus indicated prevailing rates.

l.       In the event of a sale, CoinFlip will use reasonable endeavours to process the sale of the cryptocurrency within 30 minutes. CoinFlip is 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 CoinFlip is not liable for the sale of any cryptocurrency sent to CoinFlip or any delays in funds sent to your bank account.

Section I.2

Purchase and Sale.

a. If you confirm the transaction with CoinFlip by responding to the Transaction Text Message as described in Section I.1(d), CoinFlip will: (1) in the case of a purchase of cryptocurrency by you from CoinFlip, execute and later transfer your Purchased Cryptocurrency to the wallet address provided to CoinFlip by you in response to the Transaction Text Message or (2) in the case of a sale of cryptocurrency by you to CoinFlip, execute and later transfer the CoinFlip Purchase Price to the account provided to CoinFlip by you in response to the Transaction Text Message.

b. 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. CoinFlip 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. CoinFlip disclaims 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 CoinFlip in the Purchase Order and response to the Transaction Text Message are accurate and matching.

c. In the event a Purchase Order is not confirmed by you by responding to a Transaction Text Message within 48 hours, CoinFlip shall have the right to terminate such Purchase Order in CoinFlip’s 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 CoinFlip to withhold from the fiat currency or cryptocurrency you sent to CoinFlip such fees when such fiat currency or cryptocurrency is returned to you.

d. 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 CoinFlip which results in your Purchase Order being rejected by our compliance department. You specifically authorise CoinFlip to withhold from the fiat currency or cryptocurrency you sent to CoinFlip such fees when such fiat currency or cryptocurrency is returned to you.

e. The Parties acknowledge that all transactions involving any Purchased Cryptocurrency by you or CoinFlip Purchased Cryptocurrency are final and cannot be reversed.

f. On rare occasions, CoinFlip 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, CoinFlip 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 CoinFlip transfers too large an amount of cryptocurrency or fiat currency (South African rand) to you, you will repay CoinFlip the excess cryptocurrency or fiat currency. If CoinFlip does not transfer enough cryptocurrency or fiat currency (South African rand), CoinFlip will transfer such amounts as necessary to correct the transaction.

Section I.3

Timing of Transactions.

a. If you confirm a transaction with CoinFlip by responding to the Transaction Text Message as described in Section I.1(d), CoinFlip will complete the transaction within 24 hours if the confirmation is received by CoinFlip during Business Hours or within 24 hours of the start of the next Business Day if the confirmation is received outside of Business Hours.  It may take additional time for the funds to be received into your account.  This is out of our control.

b. If you require a transaction with CoinFlip to be expedited, you should get in contact with CoinFlip via email or phone to make such arrangements. Expedited processing may require an additional fee because of network fees.

Section I.4

Terms.

We reserve the right to amend or modify these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. The amended Terms ("Updated Terms") will be effective immediately after posting on CoinFlip’s website for any transactions which occur after that time.  CoinFlip will also send a copy of the amended Terms to you to your nominated email address (“Updated Terms”). The Updated Terms will apply prospectively. For any transactions which took place prior to the amended Terms being posted on CoinFlip's website, the prior Terms will apply, except where it is reasonably necessary for the amended Terms to take effect in order to comply with applicable law.  Your continued use of the Services after the posting of Updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to the Updated Terms, you must discontinue your use of the Services and terminate your account immediately, by no later than 14 days after posting of the Updated Terms.  Except as required to comply with applicable law, we will process termination of your account in accordance with the prior Terms.

Any provision of these Terms which is invalid in any jurisdiction must, in relation to that jurisdiction, be read down to the minimum extent necessary to achieve its validity, if applicable (or, if that is not possible, severed from these Terms), without invalidating or affecting the remaining provisions of these Terms or the validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section I.5

Taxes.

The CoinFlip Purchase Price or your Purchase Price for the CoinFlip Purchased Cryptocurrency or your Purchased Cryptocurrency, as applicable, is exclusive of any applicable taxes.

CoinFlip is not liable for any taxes that you are legally obligated to pay, in any jurisdiction, which are incurred or arise in connection with or related to your activities (under these Terms or otherwise), and all such taxes will be your financial responsibility.

Section I.6

If either party is required by law, rule or regulation, or advised by legal counsel to disclose such information (the “Required Party”), the Required Party will, to the extent legally permissible, provide the other party (the “Subject Party”) with prompt written notice of such requirement so that such Subject Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with this Section.
