Notwithstanding any other provisions in this agreement, Transak shall not bear liability for any losses incurred by the Partner or the end user arising from a failure of service by the Partner or any third-party services or systems utilized by the Partner. Transak's liability is expressly limited to handling disputes, refunds, and reversals as outlined in this clause.

Settlement and Payout Schedule for Partner Fees (if applicable)

  1. Your Payout Account: Transak will, with its banking partners, arrange to settle funds to the bank or other financial institution account that You designate (Your “Payout Account”). You affirm that You are authorised to initiate settlements to and debits from the Payout Account, and that the Payout Account is owned by You. If You update Your Payout Account (including via the Dashboard) then You must ensure that You continue to comply with the requirements of this section. We may require You to provide Us with documentary proof demonstrating Your compliance with this section, and Your failure to provide such proof will constitute a breach of this Agreement and We may suspend the provision of any Services to You pending Your compliance. In the alternative, we may terminate this Agreement as a result of such a breach.
  2. Settlement to Your Payout Account: A positive balance as per collection of additional Partner Fees on Your behalf, in Your Transak Partner Account will result in settlement to Your Payout Account. We may reduce the amount settled to Your Payout Account by the amount of Fees, Fines, and amounts owed to Us for any reason.
  3. Multi-currency Processing: We may offer You the ability to have funds settled to Your Payout Account in a currency different from the one in which We accepted payment from an End-User (“Multi-Currency Processing”).

    To use this service, You must provide Us with a valid Payout Account for each currency for which You request settlement, based on Our list of available settlement currencies. We may add or remove currencies from Our list of available settlement currencies at any time. If You use Multi-Currency Processing, We will identify at the time of the Charge the conversion rate that will apply to the Charge.
  4. Payout Schedule: The term “Payout Schedule” refers to the time it takes for Us to initiate settlement to Your Payout Account. Your Payout Schedule is specified in the Dashboard. Transak may require a holding period before making an initial settlement to the Payout Account.

    After the initial settlement of funds, We will settle funds to the Payout Account according to the Payout Schedule. Please be aware that a Payment Method Provider, a Payment Method Acquirer, or the financial institution holding Your Payout Account, may delay settlement for any reason. We are not responsible for any action taken by the institution holding Your Payout Account to not credit the Payout Account or to otherwise not make funds available to You as You expected.

    We reserve the right to change the Payout Schedule or to suspend settlement to You: (i) where there are pending, anticipated, or excessive Disputes, Refunds, or Reversals (as determined by Us acting reasonably); (ii) in the event that We become aware of suspicious activity; or (iii) where We are required by Law or court order. We have the right to withhold settlement to Your Payout Account upon termination of this Agreement if We reasonably determine that We may incur losses resulting from credit, fraud, or other legal risks associated with Your Transak Partner Account. If We exercise Our right to withhold a Payout for any reason, We will communicate the general reason for withholding the Payout and give You a timeline for releasing the funds where We consider it appropriate or reasonable to do so.
  5. Incorrect Settlement: The information required for settlement will depend on the financial institution holding the Payout Account. Please make sure that any information about the Payout Accounts that You provide to Us is accurate and complete. If You provide Us with incorrect information (i) You understand that funds may be settled to the wrong account and that We may not be able to recover the funds from such incorrect transactions and (ii) You agree that You are solely responsible for any losses You or third parties incur due to erroneous settlement transactions, You will not make any claims against Us related to such erroneous settlement transactions, and You will fully reimburse Us for any losses We incur.

  1. Listing Discretion: You agree that We retain full discretion over whether any Token is accepted by Us as part of the Token Listing Service (except where we have already confirmed that a Token will be accepted and has been approved by Transak’s compliance function). You agree that We may reject any proposed Token or de-list any previously accepted Token that does not or no longer meets our listing criteria which may be in force from time to time and/or if listing the Token potentially creates a legal, regulatory or reputational risk which is unacceptable to Transak in compliance with applicable laws.
  2. Regulatory Warranty and Representation: By submitting a Token to Us for review and acceptance you agree, represent and warrant that the Token does not constitute: (i) “electronic money” (as regulated by the Electronic Money Regulations 2011); or (ii) a “specified investment” as regulated by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001, or as either of those terms may be defined or regulated by any legislation, regulations, orders or other laws or rulings in force or introduced, revised, amended, updated or superseded from time to time in England.

    As part of the Token Listing Service we may require You to make further warranties and representations in respect of the Token and to provide access to independent legal opinions concerning the status of the Token and its regulation under the laws of England (or any other jurisdiction that We determine to be appropriate or relevant).
  3. Provision of Additional Information: Transak may undertake its own due diligence and review of the Token before accepting the Token for listing and You must provide such information requested by Transak and considered reasonably necessary to aid with the due diligence process.
  4. Fees: The Fees and payment terms for the Token Listing Service shall be agreed between the parties in writing (email permitted). Further, You will receive payment details from [email protected] directly only to coordinate payments to Transak for Token Listing Fees. Any details or information related to partner payout from Transak including invoices must be sent to [email protected].
  5. Marketing Budget: Transak and the Partner may agree from time to time for Transak to engage in marketing activities in respect of the Partner’s Token at the cost of the Partner. Such marketing activities may include zero-fee based campaigns in respect of the Partner’s Token or any other fees as agreed between the parties in writing (email permitted). Note - any zero fee campaigns or other incentives as defined in these terms must not be made available to users based in the United Kingdom.

You agree to review all the Security Controls We suggest and choose those that are appropriate for Your business to protect against unauthorised Transactions and, if appropriate for Your business, independently implement other security procedures and controls not provided by Us. If You disable or fail to properly use Security Controls, You will increase the likelihood of unauthorised Transactions, Disputes, fraud, losses, and other similar occurrences. Keep in mind that You are solely responsible for losses You incur from the use of lost or stolen payment credentials or accounts by fraudsters who engage in fraudulent Transactions with You, and Your failure to implement Security Controls will only increase the risk of fraud.

    We may assist You with recovering lost funds, but You are solely responsible for losses due to lost or stolen credentials or accounts, compromise of Your Username or password, changes to Your Payout Account, and any other unauthorised use or modification of Your Transak Partner Account. Transak is not liable or responsible to You and You waive any right to bring a claim against Us for any losses that result from the use of lost or stolen credentials or unauthorised use or modification of Your Transak Partner Account, unless such losses result from Transak’s wilful or intentional actions. Further, You will fully reimburse Us for any losses We incur that result from the use of lost or stolen credentials or accounts.

We may also provide You with Data regarding the possibility or likelihood that a Transaction may be fraudulent. We may incorporate any subsequent action or inaction by You into Our fraud model, for the purpose of identifying future potential fraud. You understand that We provide this Data to You for Your consideration, but that You are ultimately responsible for any actions You choose to take or not take in relation to such Data.

Amendments

We may revise these terms from time to time. Any updates, revisions, supplements, modifications, and additional rules, policies, terms, and conditions will be posted on the Platform and will be effective immediately after such posting and we recommend that you periodically check these Terms on the Platform for such revised terms. Your continued use of the Services and/or the Platform will be deemed to constitute your acceptance of any and all such revised terms.

Assignment

You may not assign this Agreement, any rights or licences granted in this Agreement, or operation of Your Transak Partner Account to others without Our prior written consent. If You wish to make such an assignment, please contact Us. If We consent to the assignment, the assignee must agree to assume all of Your rights and obligations owed by You related to the assignment, and must agree to comply with the terms of this Agreement. Transak may assign this Agreement without Your consent or any other restriction. If We make an assignment, We will provide reasonable Notice to You.

Right to Audit

If We believe that a security breach, leak, loss, or compromise of Data has occurred on Your systems, Website, or app affecting Your compliance with this Agreement, We may require You to permit a third-party auditor to conduct a security audit of Your systems and facilities, and You must fully cooperate with any requests for information or assistance that the auditor makes to You as part of the security audit. The auditor will issue a report to Us which We may share with Our Payment Method Providers and Payment Methods Acquirers.

The tribunal will consist of a sole arbitrator. The place of the arbitration will be London, United Kingdom. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings will be English. Judgement upon the award rendered by the arbitrator will be entered by the courts of England and Wales.

    This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of England, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules.

  2. Service of Process: Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process through personal service at their corporate headquarters, registered address, or primary address (for individuals or sole proprietors).

  3. Class Waiver: To the fullest extent permitted by Law, each of the parties agrees that any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim or dispute proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each party knowingly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated between the parties.
  4. Provision of an Award: Subject to the limitations of liability identified in this Agreement, the appointed arbitrators may award monetary damages and any other remedies allowed by Law. In making a determination, the arbitrator will not have the authority to modify any term or provision of this Agreement. The arbitrator will deliver a reasoned written decision with respect to the dispute (the “Award”) to each party, who will promptly act in accordance with the Award. Any Award (including interim or final remedies) may be confirmed in or enforced by any court having jurisdiction over either party or its assets. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties, and will not be subject to appeal or review.
  5. Fees: Each party will advance one-half of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, the costs of the attendance of the court reporter at the arbitration hearing, and the costs of the arbitration facility. In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator will award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with those aspects of its claims or defenses on which it prevails, and any opposing awards of costs and attorneys’ fees awards will be offset.
  6. Confidentiality: The parties will maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding, the hearing and the Award, except (i) as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, (ii) in connection with a court application as contemplated above for a preliminary remedy, or confirmation of an Award or its enforcement, (iii) Our disclosure of the Award in confidential settlement negotiations, or (iv) as otherwise required by applicable Laws. The parties, witnesses, and arbitrator will treat as confidential and will not disclose to any third person (other than witnesses or experts) any documentary or other evidence produced in any arbitration hereunder, except as required by Law or except if such evidence was obtained from the public domain or was otherwise obtained independently from the arbitration.
