DEPASIFY will transmit or execute the fiat-crypto or crypto-crypto trading orders, on behalf of the CLIENT, either by transmitting them to third party intermediaries or by executing them on dedicated platforms.
- The Services provided by DEPASIFY through the Brokerage Service are:
- Receipt and transmission of orders: the receipt of a person's order to buy or sell one or several Cryptoassets, or to subscribe one or several Cryptoassets, and the transmission of that order to a third party for its execution;
- Execution of orders: the execution of agreements, on behalf of clients, for the purchase or sale of one or several Cryptoassets, or for the subscription on behalf of clients of one or several Cryptoassets, and includes the execution of contracts for the sale of Cryptoassets at the time of their public offering or admission to trading.
- Through this Service, DEPASIFY provides the necessary technological infrastructure to carry out operations with the main brokers or trading platforms. In this regard, THE CLIENT is hereby informed of the following:
- DEPASIFY does not use its own liquidity, since it depends on these third parties for the provision of the Service.
- In case of bankruptcy of the intermediary or trading platform, DEPASIFY assumes no liability to THE CLIENT, who is aware through these General Conditions that he/she assumes the risk of bankruptcy of these third parties and DEPASIFY shall not be liable in any case for the lost Funds.
- The processing time of transactions does not depend solely on DEPASIFY, so it is possible that there may be delays in the execution of transactions in certain cases. Therefore, DEPASIFY does not guarantee maximum transaction execution times.
- The Fiat Money-Cryptoasset exchange rate, or Cryptoasset to Cryptoasset, used by DEPASIFY to determine the price will depend on the market offer, so DEPASIFY may choose, according to its policy of best execution and selection of intermediaries, depending on the different platforms or intermediaries, the best execution taking into account elements such as lowest cost, execution time, reliability and liquidity.
- THE CLIENT will ensure that it has all the necessary licenses and permits to carry out this activity or will formalize any contract with third parties that have the necessary regulatory requirements to carry out such activity.
- Upon receipt of the Cryptoassets or fiat Funds from the End Users by the CLIENT, DEPASIFY receives and executes the purchase of the Cryptoasset ordered by THE CLIENT, unless DEPASIFY reasonably does not want to give access to such Cryptoasset. This operation can be carried out in two ways:
- When THE CLIENT receives fiat Funds from its End Users, it will transfer them to the fiat account that DEPASIFY has enabled for such purpose. DEPASIFY shall receive and execute the purchase order against such fiat money for the acquisition of such Cryptoassets and shall keep them in the wallet in accordance with the Wallet Service.
- When THE CLIENT receives from its End Users Funds in the form of Cryptoassets it will receive them directly into the wallet in accordance with the Wallet Service. DEPASIFY, in this case, may also receive and execute sale transactions of such Cryptoassets for the purchase of others.
- Once the Funds have been contributed by the Users through any of the means of payment listed in Annex IV in favor of DEPASIFY through the payment service provider:
- Firstly, DEPASIFY executes the change from Fiat Money to Cryptoassets.
- Secondly, DEPASIFY provides the CLIENT with access to these Funds through the liquidity provider chosen by DEPASIFY.
- Deliveries of Cryptoassets to the CLIENT will be made as soon as possible with the joint effort of both Parties, with no specific binding deadline.
The Best Execution and Intermediary Selection Policy, is available on our website and will be delivered to the CLIENT together with its contract for the provision of Services. Through this policy we will guarantee a fast and adequate transmission of the orders, as well as the best possible results in the execution of the orders.
In accordance with the MiCA Regulation regarding the provision of Services on Cryptoassets and its complementary regulations, DEPASIFY does not accept any type of remuneration, economic incentive, discounts or benefits in kind as consideration for channeling orders to a specific Cryptoasset trading platform or to a specific provider for their execution.
Likewise, DEPASIFY continuously monitors the effectiveness of the mechanisms it uses to execute orders, as well as the execution policy and selection of intermediaries. This includes verifying whether the trading platforms or brokers mentioned, if any, in such policy are achieving the best possible results for you. If we identify that it is necessary to modify any of these mechanisms, DEPASIFY will inform the CLIENT in a timely manner about any significant change in the processes or policies of execution of orders and selection of intermediaries.
- THE CLIENT may request the Checkout Service, in order to check out the Cryptoassets to the external Wallets or Smart Contracts requested by THE CLIENT.
- In case THE CLIENT chooses the Checkout Service in favor of an external Wallet, DEPASIFY shall not assume any responsibility (i) in case of error in the introduction of the corresponding keys; (ii) nor as a consequence of errors that may prevent the Cryptoassets from reaching the destination requested by THE CLIENT, who shall assume all responsibility towards the User.
- In case THE CLIENT chooses the checkout Service in favor of a Smart Contract, THE CLIENT shall ensure that the latter has been previously audited and does not involve any risk with respect to the User's Cryptoassets. In any case, THE CLIENT shall be liable for any damage or breach or vulnerability arising from the sending of Funds to the Smart Contract selected and managed by THE CLIENT, even in the event of an unforeseeable event on the part of THE CLIENT.
- In both cases DEPASIFY shall not assume any liability for damages or defaults arising from the sending of the User's Funds to either of the two options by the CLIENT. DEPASIFY only assumes the liability indicated in these General Conditions.
- DEPASIFY shall make available to the CLIENT the Fiat Money payment management service provided by DEPASIFY's Regulated Partners so that THE CLIENT or its Users may transfer their Fiat Money Funds.
- THE CLIENT acknowledges that payment services are regulated activities and that DEPASIFY does not hold any license to provide such services. Therefore, payment services shall be Third Party Services and DEPASIFY shall facilitate the technical integration of such services within its Platform. This Third Party Service that manages the transfer of Funds in favor of DEPASIFY will be provided by an electronic money institution, a payment institution or a financial institution authorized to provide this service (hereinafter, the "Regulated Partner") and will provide the services under its own license, holding all the necessary licenses and permits to carry out its payment activity.
- The Funds may be contributed by THE CLIENT or by its Users through any of the payment methods listed in Annex IV and transferred in favor of DEPASIFY by a Regulated Partner.
- In this regard, if the Funds are provided directly by the Users, the Parties agree as a control mechanism that the complete due diligence package of each underlying User originating the Funds will be shared by THE CLIENT to DEPASIFY, so that DEPASIFY can perform its own checks and verify the compliance standards of the CLIENT.
- In the event that Funds arrive and DEPASIFY has not received due diligence, the Funds will be blocked until the process is successfully completed and the origin of the Funds can be unequivocally verified.
- DEPASIFY will provide Services exclusively to the CLIENT and will not maintain any relationship or responsibility with its User, even in the event that payments are made directly from the User in favor of DEPASIFY through an account provided by a Regulated Partner. Therefore, Users shall not be considered customers of DEPASIFY and THE CLIENT assumes full responsibility for the due diligence and verification of its users, customers and associated entities, in line with applicable Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CTF) regulations, as well as other relevant legal requirements. THE CLIENT warrants and represents that it is regulated under AML/CFT law in its jurisdiction and that any and all KYC processes it undertakes will adhere to the highest standards of compliance with AML/CTF regulations and applicable laws. CLIENT will establish robust procedures to verify the identity of individuals and companies, detect politically exposed persons (PEPs) and monitor suspicious activities. Users will always operate from the same virtual environment of the CLIENT, so users will not be registered as DEPASIFY users either.

Likewise, THE CLIENT represents and warrants that all transactions and requests for transactions sent to or received by DEPASIFY, either directly by THE CLIENT or by its Users, will not violate the applicable sanctioning regulations, including those of the main sanctioning bodies worldwide.
- DEPASIFY will not assume in any case the penalties derived from the breach or lack of diligence of the CLIENT with respect to the services not performed by DEPASIFY. In this sense, DEPASIFY does not assume in any case the End User AML Service (also known as KYC) or the transaction monitoring at any time. Regardless of any technological solution that DEPASIFY may provide to the CLIENT, these responsibilities and all those arising therefrom shall be assumed by THE CLIENT.
- THE CLIENT agrees to indemnify and hold DEPASIFY harmless from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, fines, penalties, sanctions, legal costs or other expenses arising from THE CLIENT's failure to perform adequate AML procedures, or from any violation of AML/CTF regulations and related laws resulting from THE CLIENT's actions or omissions.

- THE CLIENT agrees to promptly notify DEPASIFY of any suspected or confirmed violation of AML/CTF regulations or any relevant legal requirements that may arise from the CLIENT's independent KYC processes. This includes, but is not limited to, cases where THE CLIENT identifies possible money laundering, terrorist financing or other illicit activities.
- In the event of any investigation, audit or inquiry by regulatory authorities or law enforcement agencies regarding the CLIENT's compliance with AML/CTF regulations, THE CLIENT agrees to cooperate fully with DEPASIFY. This cooperation includes providing necessary documentation, information and access to relevant systems to facilitate any investigation.
- The inclusion of these clauses does not relieve the Parties of their responsibility to comply with the AML/CTF regulations, nor does it constitute a waiver of DEPASIFY's right to enforce other provisions of these General Terms and Conditions.
- THE CLIENT shall be responsible for initiating the withdrawal process, either in its own name or on behalf of its Users, and DEPASIFY shall transfer the Funds the following day to the Fiat or Crypto Monedero account indicated by THE CLIENT, or to the same bank account through which the Funds were deposited.

The fees for the Services will be communicated by THE CLIENT and will be charged as indicated in the Consideration of its contract for the provision of Services.
- DEPASIFY will charge a fee for the management of the payment process, which will include the transfer of the User's Funds in Trust Money.
- The support function with the Users will be handled directly by THE CLIENT. In case the User has modified his/her bank account, he/she shall previously notify the CLIENT of such modification, and the CLIENT shall notify DEPASIFY and provide the corresponding information in order to validate the identity of the User and ownership of the account, in a similar way as if the CLIENT changed his/her own bank account.
- Both Parties shall be connected via API so that they are aware of the payment process carried out by each User and the identification thereof, always prioritizing the identification of the Users through a unique pseudonymized identifier ("User_ID") and not through identifying data, such as name, surname or ID number.
- After a term or any of the milestones specified in Annex II, or whenever the Funds can be withdrawn (deducting the commissions corresponding to the CLIENT and DEPASIFY).
- DEPASIFY shall hold the CLIENT harmless from any liability arising from the loss, theft, diversion or limited access to the same, provided that the error is attributable to DEPASIFY and not to the third party through which DEPASIFY provides the Service; and as long as the Funds are in favor of DEPASIFY, unless otherwise agreed in these General Conditions.
- In case THE CLIENT formally requests it in writing, DEPASIFY may make Virtual IBANs available to THE CLIENT in the name of the End Users. THE CLIENT acknowledges and accepts that DEPASIFY will resort to Regulated Partners for the provision of Virtual IBANs.
- In the event that, by virtue of the CLIENT's business model, a nominative account in the name of the CLIENT is necessary, the CLIENT will assume any responsibilities derived from such nominative account such as compliance requirements, liquidity capacity and response to Users, releasing DEPASIFY from any liability, regardless of the role played by DEPASIFY during the creation of the nominative account held by the CLIENT.
- In any case, the guarantees specified in these General Conditions must be complied with by THE CLIENT, who will assume the responsibilities arising from the services not provided by DEPASIFY under the selected Service (AML verification of the User, among others).
- In case THE CLIENT formally requests it in writing, DEPASIFY may make available to THE CLIENT Card Acquiring Services, allowing the acceptance and processing of card payments initiated by THE CLIENT's End Users for the purchase of Cryptoassets and related Services, in strict compliance with the terms set forth herein. CLIENT acknowledges and agrees that DEPASIFY will rely on Regulated Partners for the provision of Card Acquiring Services.
- CLIENT acknowledges that the ramp merchant widget provided for the Card Acquiring Services may only be used in connection with the specific website(s) owned by CLIENT, as disclosed and verified during the Know Your Business (KYB) process and have been pre-approved by DEPASIFY as part of the KYB process.
- Any use of the on-ramp widget outside of the disclosed and approved website(s) constitutes a material breach of these Terms and Conditions and will result in immediate suspension or termination of the Services.
- THE CLIENT represents and warrants that it will offer Cryptoasset purchase Services exclusively under a direct seller model, whereby THE CLIENT acts as the direct counterparty to the End User in all Cryptoasset purchase transactions and retains full control and responsibility for the entire transaction lifecycle, including, but not limited to, pricing, execution and delivery of Cryptoassets.
- CLIENT agrees that the Card Acquiring Services will not support any intermediary or marketplace model unless expressly agreed to in writing by DEPASIFY.

- THE CLIENT shall pay DEPASIFY a transaction fee of the percentage indicated in the Consideration of these General Terms and Conditions for each successful transaction, as well as any applicable chargeback, refund or other administrative fees. Settlement of the Funds shall be on a net basis after deduction of all applicable fees.
- CLIENT assumes all liability for any chargebacks resulting from disputed transactions and for any losses or claims arising from unauthorized use of cards, fraud or other unlawful activity. DEPASIFY will cooperate with the Client to mitigate risks, but is not responsible for fraud arising from the CLIENT's systems or the actions of its End Users.

Therefore, DEPASIFY will open to the CLIENT an electronic urse where the Cryptoassets resulting from the Intermediation Service will be kept on behalf of the CLIENT.
