Debit Card Terms - Cointed

Debit Card Terms The Cointed Debit Card Terms and Conditions (hereon referred to as the ‘DC T&C’) are a subset of the General Cointed Terms and Conditions which continue to apply. 1. Card Issuer. The Cointed Debit Card is issued by WaveCrest ("Card Issuer") who manages the card program called MyChoice. The Cointed Debit Card is issued by WaveCrest under the MyChoice program. Not unlike any other card program in existence, multiple parties, such as Visa, FIS and other similar parties, are part of the payment network that Cointed cardholder’s and their information can access. This is necessary in order for transactions to take place, and Cointed cardholders cannot opt out of such services. As of the publishing date of DC T&C, Cointed offers a Visa debit card, however, the selection of Cointed card products and services is subject to change. 2. Ordering a Cointed Debit Card. All Cointed users, with residence in countries where Issuer has license to issue cards, may apply for a Cointed Debit Card. This list of eligible countries may change over time. All Cointed debit card users must have completed ID verification or any other compliance process required by Cointed before ordering a card. Cointed and/or Card Issuer have no obligation to accept an application for a Cointed Debit Card. Information provided via compliance processes and other KYC procedures are used to define information required to successfully order a card, including but not limited to, cardholder name and address. To receive a Cointed Debit Card, users must pay a one-time card issuance fee. The amount of the card issuance fee varies depending on the card spending currency selected by the user. Cards are currently available in the following spending currencies: USD, EUR, GBP. The payment of the card issuance fee always takes place in bitcoin. By submitting the Cointed Debit Card application the user authorizes Cointed to debit the card issuance fee, future fees as well as the equivalent amount in bitcoins of any transaction authorized with the Cointed Debit Card user’s Cointed wallet connected. The Cointed Debit Card is issued to the name of the holder of the Cointed Wallet and is non-transferable by the Cardholder. The Cointed Debit Card remains property of COINTED. Cointed and/or Issuer reserve the right to withdraw and/or to block, at their discretion, the Cointed Debit Card and/or any of the services offered at any time without prior notice.

3. Card Functions. The Cointed Debit Card may be used for the following functions: 



The Cardholder may use the Cointed Debit Card [in conjunction with the card PIN] to pay for goods or services by using a card operated machine at retailers or suppliers who offer such payment method. Cointed will debit from the Cardholder's Cointed wallet the equivalent amount in bitcoins of any transaction authorized in this way. The Cardholder may use the Card in conjunction with the PIN to withdraw money from automated teller machines (ATM) which accept the Cointed Debit Card. The equivalent amount in bitcoins of money withdrawn will be debited from the Cardholder's Cointed wallet.

Cointed may, at its discretion, make available to the Cardholder more functions for the Cardholder’s convenience and use. 4. Relation to Cointed Wallet. The Cointed Debit Card is connected to a specific Cointed Wallet held by the Cardholder with Cointed ("the Wallet"). There is no connection between the Cardholder's Cointed Vault and the Cointed Debit Card. 5. Card Activation, PIN and Cardholder Due Diligence. Once the Cardholder has received its Cointed Debit Card and prior to the first transaction, the Cardholder must activate its card online in accordance to the instructions provided by COINTED. The Cointed Debit Card activation is free-of-cost. Once the Cointed Debit Card has been activated, the Cardholder shall receive its unique PIN that is pre-set for each card and is unknown to Cointed. The security of the PIN is very important and the Cardholder shall not disclose the PIN to anyone. In particular, the Cardholder shall not keep any written record on the PIN in any place or manner, which may enable a third party to use the Cointed Debit Card. The Cardholder shall at all times ensure that the Card is kept at a safe place, shall not permit any third party to use it and shall safeguard the Cointed Debit Card from misuse. The lost or theft of the Cointed Debit Card must be reported to Cointed immediately by calling the Card Issuer’s customer hotline at phone number: +44 (0) 113-320-0312. The Cardholder will be responsible for all transactions effected by use of the Cointed Debit Card until Cointed was able, within an appropriate time frame, to block the Cointed Debit Card after such notification. Cointed will debit the Cardholder's Wallet with any

costs incurred in issuing a replacement card. The Cardholder must also immediately inform Cointed if he has any suspicion regarding a fraudulent use of the Cointed Debit Card.

The Cointed Debit Card may not be used as payment for an illegal purchase. The Cointed Debit Card is valid upon the day of the day indicated on the card. 7. Cointed Debit Card transaction process. In the case of transactions entered into through the Cointed Debit Card, the equivalent in bitcoins, along with the fees connected to such transactions as set forth under Section 9 below, shall be debited to the Cardholder’s Cointed wallet. Cointed uses an internal bitcoin price to determine exchange rates between fiat currencies and bitcoin. Should the user not have sufficient funds in his Wallet at the moment of authorization, the purchase will be declined. Cointed retains the right to create a negative balance for a user’s wallet, if the settlement process so requires. When a debit in bitcoin has been made, the transaction will remain pending until the authorization is confirmed by settlement data. Transactions are only closed and completed against settlement data. If a transaction is to be canceled or refunded, the funds in hold will be returned to the Wallet, and the transaction status closed as ‘canceled’. The settlement process may include situations not described above – Cointed will complete transactions solely based on settlements. The Cardholder will be solely liable for all unauthorized acts and transactions.
