Transaction Price
  1. The Transaction Price for the Execution of each Order shall be disclosed to the User prior to execution. The Transaction Price quoted to the User shall be valid for a limited period of time as indicated in the App. The Transaction Price will also give a clear indication and breakdown of the Transaction Fee related to the Execution of each Order. By accepting these Terms, you hereby agree to instruct and to authorise Damex to solicit the Market Prices available on the App in order to calculate a Transaction Price before allowing the User to instruct the Execution of the Order.
  2. The calculation of the Transaction Price is based on the Market Price displayed by Damex. All information on which the Transaction Price is based, including the Market Prices are provided by the Application Programming Interface (the “API”) of Exchanges that Damex may use. Damex has no influence on this information and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. Damex is not responsible and will not be held responsible by you for any false or misleading information presented on the App which arises from the direct or indirect responsibility of the Exchanges except to where such information is as a result of the negligence or wilful misconduct by Damex.
Network Fees
  1. We may charge Network Fees to process Digital Asset transactions on your behalf. We will calculate the Network Fees at our discretion, although we will notify you of the Network Fees prior to executing any Order.
  2. Particularly during periods of high volume, illiquidity, fast movement or volatility in the Exchange of the Assets, the Network Fee at which an Order is Executed may be different from the prevailing Network Fee indicated by the App at the time of your Order.
  3. If there’s a significant increase or a decrease in the Network Fees that are subject to the Order, which would have an effect on the Transaction Price, the Transaction will be Executed provided that the percentage margin of the increase or decrease of the Transaction Price shall not exceed the safety threshold defined by Damex of the price at the time when the Order was made by you. If the change in the Transaction Price is higher than the threshold margin defined by Damex at its sole discretion, the transaction will likely be cancelled and not be processed and in such an event you shall be informed that the Transaction was not Executed on your screen.
  4. At this point, we do not accept any returns or give Refunds for your purchase of Digital Assets, except as otherwise provided in these Terms. You will not hold Damex liable for any damages and losses which result from the change in Market Price.

Order Execution

  1. Should you wish to proceed with an Execution of an Order following the display of a Market Price to you in the App you shall click “Confirm” or similar prompt. By clicking such a prompt you instruct and give Order to Damex to use the Fiat Assets and/or Digital Assets in your Wallet to Execute the Order on your behalf. You are aware and agree that Damex merely Executes the Order and is under no obligation to verify whether the Order is adequate and appropriate.
  2. When Damex Executes a Transaction based on your Orders we are not able to assess whether the Transactions you make are compatible with your necessities, and therefore, you are responsible for your use of the Assets in your User Account.
  3. An Order placed through the App will be Executed, and the Transaction will appear in your User Account, under the concerned Wallet.
  4. The User is solely responsible for determining whether any Transaction or Order placed through the App is appropriate, suitable, adapted to his/her financial situation, personal objectives, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance. The User should consult a legal, financial or tax professional regarding his/her specific situation before placing an Order through the App.

  5. Should a User have an insufficient amount of Assets in their User Account to Execute an Order, the Transaction will be cancelled.

  6. In cases where the displayed Transaction Price or any on-screen confirmation or value representation of an Asset does not accurately reflect the underlying Market Price at the time the Order was Executed, neither Damex nor the User are entitled to enforce  whatever has been inaccurately recorded in the Transaction Price. Such discrepancies are likely indicative to a pricing error or omission.
  7. In accordance with these Terms, Damex has the right, without your consent, to either invalidate or modify the terms of any Transaction that is affected by or contains a pricing error. Should we, at our sole discretion, choose to amend the terms of any such erroneous Transaction mentioned in clause 57, the revised terms will be at such a level as we reasonably believe would have been fair at the time the Order was Executed.

  8. The determination of what constitutes a pricing error shall be in our sole and absolute discretion and any financial commitment that you have entered into or refrained from entering into in reliance of a Transaction with us will not be taken into account in deciding whether or not there has been a pricing error.

  9. If a pricing error has occurred and we choose to exercise any of our rights under these Terms, then where you have received any Assets from us in connection with the pricing error, you agree that those monies are due and payable and you agree to return an equal sum to us without delay.
Fees
  1. Outgoing Transactions from your User Account to another Damex User Account are not subject to any processing fee.

  1. By clicking “Confirm” or similar prompt, you are giving your consent for Transaction Fees to be deducted by Damex for the Execution of an Order.

 

  1. Damex may modify the Transaction Fees at any time, as displayed within the App and/or the Website, without prior notice to you.
Order Cancellation and Refunds

 

  1. Once an Order has been placed through the App and subsequently Executed, the User is not entitled to cancellations or Refunds. However, Damex reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to provide User(s) with refunds or permit cancellations.

 

  1. Orders may be cancelled, interrupted, disrupted and/or prevented from being Executed if instructed to do so by a relevant authority that a Transaction is being made with the intention to circumvent Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

  2. You authorise Damex, in its sole discretion, to debit your other payment methods that you have made available to us, including from other balances held in your User Account or other linked accounts, in any amount necessary to remedy a negative balance.

 

  1.

2.2 The limits and restrictions that apply to your Account and Card‎ will be communicated to you during the Account set-up process and/or before the Card is issued to you (as applicable).  These limits may also change over time based on your Account and/or Card‎ usage; any such change will be communicated to you.  You can check the limits at any time by contacting Customer Services. You should not make a payment Transaction request which exceeds such.

2.3 From time to time a Card Transaction may be authorised which exceeds the limit or restriction applicable to your Account or ‎Card, for example when it is used in an offline environment for example but not limited to payments for or on transport (purchases ‎on a train, aeroplane, underground  or toll  payments). In such circumstance, a negative balance on your Account may occur.  In this ‎case the process in paragraphs 5.13 to 5.15 inclusive will apply.‎

2.4 Certain Merchants may require verification that the funds held on your Account will cover the Card Transaction amount and will ‎place a “pre-authorisation” on your Card. This amount will be unavailable to you until the Card Transaction is completed or released ‎by the Merchant. The pre-authorisation allows the Merchant up to 30 days to claim and settle any funds owed to them from the ‎Card. Examples include but are not limited to hotels and rental cars. If there are insufficient funds available on your Account, Modulr ‎must still make this settlement, which may result in a negative balance on your Account. In this case the process in paragraphs 5.13 ‎to 5.15 inclusive will apply.‎

2.5 To manage our risk, particularly with respect to money laundering, fraud or security concerns, we also apply internal controls, including limits, to certain types of payment. We change these as necessary but for security purposes, we do not disclose them.

2.2 The limits and restrictions that apply to your Account and Card‎ will be communicated to you during the Account set-up process and/or before the Card is issued to you (as applicable).  These limits may also change over time based on your Account and/or Card‎ usage; any such change will be communicated to you.  You can check the limits at any time by contacting Customer Services. You should not make a payment Transaction request which exceeds such.

2.3 From time to time a Card Transaction may be authorised which exceeds the limit or restriction applicable to your Account or ‎Card, for example when it is used in an offline environment for example but not limited to payments for or on transport (purchases ‎on a train, aeroplane, underground  or toll  payments). In such circumstance, a negative balance on your Account may occur.  In this ‎case the process in paragraphs 5.15 to 5.17 inclusive will apply.‎

2.4 Certain Merchants may require verification that the funds held on your Account will cover the Card Transaction amount and will ‎place a “pre-authorisation” on your Card. This amount will be unavailable to you until the Card Transaction is completed or released ‎by the Merchant. The pre-authorisation allows the Merchant up to 30 days to claim and settle any funds owed to them from the ‎Card. Examples include but are not limited to hotels and rental cars. If there are insufficient funds available on your Account, Modulr ‎must still make this settlement, which may result in a negative balance on your Account. In this case the process in paragraphs 5.15 to 5.17 inclusive will apply.‎

2.5 To manage our risk, particularly with respect to money laundering, fraud or security concerns, we also apply internal controls, including limits, to certain types of payment. We change these as necessary but for security purposes, we do not disclose them.
