2. Services
2.1 General
Customer acknowledges that Fin is not a bank or other type of financial institution and does not accept deposits or otherwise provide any financial services. Fin provides the Fin Platform, a software technology solution that enables business customers to create and control a Business Account. All Transactions through your Business Account will settle in, or will be funded in, Supported Crypto Assets. For avoidance of doubt, Customer cannot receive, hold, deposit, transmit, or otherwise transact using government-issued or similar types of money (so-called "Fiat Currencies") through its Business Account.
2.2 Access
Subject to and conditioned on Customer's compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Fin grants to Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right during the Term (defined below), solely for Customer's lawful business purposes and in accordance with the limitations (if any) set forth on applicable Supplemental Terms, to: (a) access and use the Services in accordance with the Documentation; and (b) use and make a reasonable number of copies of the Documentation. Customer may permit Authorized Users to access and use the Services as contemplated by, and subject to, this Agreement.
2.3 Onboarding
The Services require the technical and operational onboarding of Customer onto the Fin Platform. The Parties agree that each Party is directly responsible for any and all activities as they relate to their specific aspect of the Services. Fin reserves the right, but has no obligation, to request information from Customer to verify Customer's identity in order to comply with laws and regulations governing payments, to safeguard the integrity of the Services, and to reduce the risk of fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, and the violation of trade sanctions regimes. Fin also may collect and verify certain information about Customer, including its Authorized Users, on behalf of providers of Third-Party Services, or enable such providers to directly collect and verify such information from and about Customer and its Authorized Users. Fin may also require Customer to provide updated or additional information at Fin's discretion, including with respect to any particular Transaction (defined below).
2.4 Authorized Users
Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that all Authorized Users comply with this Agreement. Customer may, via the functionality of the Services, designate certain Authorized Users as Admins. An "Admin" is an Authorized User who, by default, has full permissions and administrative rights, including the ability to: (a) create one or more sub-accounts and/or sub-organizations within the Business Account, set policies governing the limitations and requirements on Transactions, configure approval workflows and spending limits; (b) approve Transactions utilizing Customer's authentication credentials; and (c) manage team permissions and access controls. Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) only Authorized Users are entitled to access the Fin Platform and Customer's Business Account with their unique usernames and passwords; (b) Customer will ensure that each unique username and password issued to an Authorized User will be used only by that Authorized User when accessing the Fin Platform and Customer's Business Account; (c) Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all Authorized Users' unique usernames and passwords, and is solely responsible for all activities that occur under these Authorized User accounts; and (d) Customer will notify Fin promptly of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of any account, username, or passwords, or any other breach or suspected breach of this Agreement. Fin reserves the right to suspend, disable or terminate any Authorized User's access to the Services that Fin reasonably determines may have been used by an unauthorized third party. The unique usernames and passwords cannot be shared or used by more than one individual Authorized User to access Customer's Business Account.
2.5 Certain Customer Responsibilities
Customer is and will remain solely responsible for its and its Authorized Users' compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and for all activities that occur under Customer's Business Account, including any and all activities of Customer's Authorized Users and all Transactions (defined below). Customer acknowledges that international payments and transfers are subject to applicable laws, regulations, and restrictions in both originating and receiving jurisdictions. Customer is solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all such applicable requirements. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of all Customer Data.
2.6 Third-Party Services
The Fin Platform integrates Third-Party Services that enable Fin's customers to exchange and subsequently send and receive ACH, Wire, SEPA, and stablecoin transfers in approved jurisdictions through such Third-Party Services, as applicable. Third-Party Services may include, without limitation, certain services provided by Brale Inc., HIFI Bridge, Inc. ("HIFI"), Coinflow Labs Limited, and Liquidity Labs Holdings Limited (RhinoFi). To the extent relevant to Customer's use of the Fin Platform, Customer hereby consents and agrees to the terms of these providers' respective legal terms, available at
https://brale.xyz/legal/terms,
https://www.hifi.com/terms-conditions,
https://www.hifi.com/privacy-policy,
https://coinflow.cash/terms-of-service, and
https://rhino.fi/legal-policies-and-documentation/terms-conditions. Certain Third-Party Services may require Customer to enter into an additional separate agreement with the provider of such Third-Party Services. Fin does not endorse, control, or assume any responsibility for any Third-Party Services. When Customer accesses or uses Third-Party Services, or the data transmitted thereby, Customer accepts that there are risks in doing so, and that Fin is not responsible for such risks, or the reliability of such Third-Party Services or data. Fin has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the information, accuracy, privacy policies, services, or practices of or opinions expressed in any Third-Party Services. Customer's use of any Third-Party Service is entirely at its own risk and is subject to the terms and conditions and policies of that third party. Customer is solely responsible for reviewing and complying with such terms, conditions, and policies.
2.7 Restrictions
Customer will not, and will not permit any Authorized User or other Person to: (a) allow any Person to access the Services except for Authorized Users; (b) modify, adapt, alter, or translate the Services; (c) sublicense, lease, sell, resell, rent, loan, distribute, transfer, provide, or otherwise allow or make available the use of the Services for the benefit of any Person other than Customer; (d) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise derive or determine or attempt to derive or determine the source code (or the underlying ideas, design, algorithms, structure or organization) of the Fin Platform, except to the extent the foregoing is prohibited by applicable law; (e) interfere in any manner with the operation of the Fin Platform or the hardware, software, technology, and network used to operate the Fin Platform; (f) modify, copy or make derivative works based on any part of the Services or Documentation; (g) access or use the Services to build a similar or competitive product or service; (h) attempt to access the Fin Platform through any unapproved interface; or (i) use the Services in any manner not expressly permitted in this Agreement or in a manner inconsistent with applicable laws and regulations. Fin reserves the right to suspend, disable or terminate Customer's, or any Authorized User's, access to the Fin Platform if Fin reasonably suspects a breach of the foregoing restrictions.
3. Business Account Management
3.1 Customer Ownership
Customer owns and controls the Supported Crypto Assets held through Customer's Business Account. At any time, subject to having internet access and access to and the availability of the relevant blockchain, Customer may withdraw Customer's Supported Crypto Assets by sending them to a different blockchain address. Customer's use of the Business Account does not transfer any ownership rights or title to Customer's Supported Crypto Assets to Fin.
3.2 No Custody or Control by Fin
Fin does not maintain control over Customer's assets. As the owner of digital assets in Customer's Business Account, Customer shall bear all risk of loss of such digital assets. Fin shall have no liability for digital asset fluctuations or Losses associated with Customer's use of the Services or its Business Account.
3.3 Security
Customer is solely responsible for maintaining the security, confidentiality, and safety of its Business Account, including its email account and other access credentials associated with its Business Account. Customer understands and agrees that its email account associated with its Business Account is the only way to access the Business Account and that, if Customer loses access to such email account, Customer will not be able to access its Business Account. Likewise, Customer is solely responsible for any and all activities that occur under or during Customer's and its Authorized Users' use of the Business Account. Any security breach, including but not limited to unauthorized access, data loss, or system compromise that arises from or is connected to Customer's use of the Business Account or Customer's failure to implement and maintain adequate security measures is Customer's sole responsibility. Fin expressly disclaims all liability for any Losses of any kind arising from any such breach.
3.4 Blockchain Dependency
Customer acknowledges and agrees that digital assets, including stablecoins, exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained in the applicable blockchain network, which Fin does not control. Any transaction that might occur in any digital asset occurs on the decentralized ledger within such blockchain network, which Fin does not control.
4. Account Transactions
4.1 Transaction Capabilities
The Fin Platform is designed to enable Customer to send, receive, and otherwise transact with Supported Crypto Assets and, through the use of Third-Party Services, to conduct Transactions that originate or settle in Fiat Currencies. Subject to the availability of, and at the direction of, the providers of such Third-Party Services, Customer may be able to receive settlement of Supported Crypto Assets to, and fund transactions in Supported Crypto Assets from, Customer's Business Account through various payment rails, including ACH, Wire, SEPA, and stablecoin transfers (each, a "Transaction"). Transactions may require approval from Admins and must be signed off by authentication credentials according to Customer's policies.
4.2 Not Responsible For Losses
When Customer or a third Person sends Supported Crypto Assets to a Business Account address, the Person initiating the Transaction is solely responsible for executing the Transaction properly, which may include, among other things, payment of sufficient network fees in order for the Transaction to be successful. Furthermore, Customer agrees and understands that digital assets (including stablecoins) are not backed by any government and do not constitute legal tender. Digital assets may not be subject to the national or international laws that protect Customer funds or investments or other similar protections offered by governmental bodies.
4.3 Rewards
Fin may earn incentives from providers of Third-Party Services in connection with Customer's holding certain eligible stablecoins in Customer's Business Account. For avoidance of doubt, the Business Account is not a deposit account, does not itself earn interest, and is self-custodied by Customer. Nevertheless, Fin may in its discretion elect to pay rewards to Customer in eligible jurisdictions based on the amount of eligible Supported Crypto Assets self-custodied by Customer in its Business Account, and the incentives earned by Fin with respect to the issuance and use of such Supported Crypto Assets. Customer acknowledges that: (a) any reward amounts or rates are variable and subject to change without notice, (b) rewards are not guaranteed and may fluctuate (or be eliminated entirely) at the sole discretion of Fin, or otherwise based on market conditions, and past performance does not guarantee future results; and (c) Fin reserves the right to change or remove any rewards program at any time. Rewards are not available to Customer in certain jurisdictions including, at this time, if Customer is resident in the EEA, Singapore, or Japan.
5. Fees and Payment Terms
5.1 Fees
In consideration of the access rights to the Fin Platform and Business Account granted to Customer, and the Services provided by Fin under this Agreement, Customer agrees to pay to Fin the fees set forth on the applicable Supplemental Terms or otherwise on the Site with respect to the applicable Services ("Fin Fees"), in accordance with the payment terms and payment schedule set forth therein. Unless otherwise set forth in the Supplemental Terms, (i) Fin will invoice Customer for the Fin Fees; (ii) and all Fin Fees are due and payable within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice.

5.2 Taxes
The Fin Fees are exclusive of all applicable sales, use, value-added, and other taxes, and all applicable duties, tariffs, assessments, export and import fees, and other similar charges, and Customer will be solely responsible for payment of all such taxes (other than taxes based on Fin's income), fees, duties, and charges and any related penalties and interest, arising from the payment of the Fin Fees, Customer's use of the Services, and Customer's activities under its Business Account. Customer will make all payments of Fin Fees to Fin free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes; and Customer will provide Fin with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as Fin may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid. In the event that Fin is required to collect any tax for which Customer is responsible, Customer will pay such tax directly to Fin.
