40. OTHER THIRD PARTY SERVICES

40.1 Provision and Scope

In addition to the Custodian Account(s), Self-Custody Wallet and Smart Contract Vault, and the Virtual Account, the Group may, at its sole discretion, make available to you certain ancillary services provided by third-party service providers (“Third Party Service Providers”), which may be accessible via the App (“Other Third Party Services”).

These services are facilitated by the Group solely for your convenience. However, you acknowledge that all Other Third Party Services are provided directly by the relevant Third Party Service Provider, and not by the Group.

40.2 Access and Integration

Where you hold an account with a Third Party Service Provider (“TPSP Account”), you may link and access your TPSP Account through the App and provide instructions in respect of the Other Third Party Services, in lieu of accessing the TPSP Account directly. If you choose to open a TPSP Account via the App, you enter into a direct contractual relationship with the relevant Third Party Service Provider.

The Group acts solely as an integration service provider, facilitating technical access to and interaction with the Third Party Service Providers through the App, but does not itself provide the Other Third Party Services.

40.3 Data Sharing and Consent

By using the Other Third Party Services, whether through an existing or newly created TPSP Account, you expressly authorise the Group to share your personal and transaction information (e.g., name, contact details, identification data, and transaction amounts) with the relevant Third Party Service Provider, as necessary:

You further agree that updates to your personal information held by the Group may be shared with the relevant Third Party Service Provider for continued service provision.

Collection and use of personal data by any Third Party Service Provider is subject to that party’s privacy policy and terms and conditions. The Group is not responsible for the handling of your data by such third parties.

40.4 Transaction Processing

When you initiate a transaction involving Other Third Party Services via the App:

The Group is not obligated to process transactions if sufficient funds are unavailable or if doing so would, in its reasonable view, result in regulatory breach or financial risk.

40.5 Authorisation, Limits, and Liability

You must immediately notify the Group of any unauthorised transactions related to Other Third Party Services. The Group may impose, vary, or remove limits on transaction amounts, frequency, or features related to such services at its discretion.

Your rights and obligations with respect to any transaction instructions are governed by the terms of the relevant Third Party Service Provider. If a Third Party Service Provider returns any funds to the Group, those funds will be re-credited to your Account.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law:

40.6 Suspension and Termination

The Group reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to Other Third Party Services or any TPSP Account access through the App, with immediate effect and without prior notice, if:

Suspension or termination of access through the Group does not affect your separate relationship with the Third Party Service Provider. The Group will use reasonable efforts to notify you and/or the Third Party Service Provider following any such action.

The provision of Other Third Party Services shall terminate upon the earliest of:

You remain liable for all obligations and liabilities accrued prior to such termination.

40.7 Fees and Amendments

The Group may charge handling or processing fees for Other Third Party Services as specified in its prevailing fee schedule available via the App or the Site. You authorise the Group to deduct such fees and any associated charges from the relevant transaction proceeds or any of your Accounts.

The Group may amend these terms governing Other Third Party Services at any time by notice. Where required under Applicable Law, at least thirty (30) calendar days’ prior notice shall be given for changes affecting fees, your liabilities, or your obligations. Continued use of the services following the effective date of any amendment constitutes acceptance thereof.


41. REGIONAL AVAILABILITY AND SERVICE LIMITATIONS

Please be advised that the availability, scope, and functionality of the Services referenced in these Terms may vary depending on your jurisdiction, region of residence, or applicable regulatory framework. As such:


    1. Service Restrictions by Region
      Certain features, functionalities, or complete service offerings may be restricted, limited, modified, or entirely unavailable to you based on your geographic location. The Group reserves the right, at its sole discretion and subject to Applicable Laws, to determine which Services or functions are made available in specific jurisdictions.

    1. Variations in User Experience
      You acknowledge and accept that the Services and user interface presented to you whether via the App, Site, or any other platform may differ from those offered to users in other regions or jurisdictions. Such variations may include, but are not limited to, access to specific products, supported payment methods, integrations with Third Party Service Providers, or regulatory disclosures.


    1. Forward-Looking Service Provisions
      Certain provisions of these Terms may describe or reference Services, features, functionalities, or integrations that are under development, in a pilot phase, or otherwise not yet deployed or made available to all users or to users in your jurisdiction. Inclusion of such references in these Terms does not constitute a representation, warranty, or undertaking by the Group that such Services or functionalities will become available to you, or to users generally, within any specific timeframe or at all.


    1. Regulatory and Technical Limitations
      The Group may be required to withhold or modify access to certain Services in your region due to legal, regulatory, technical, or operational constraints.
