Unless you are paying with Virtual Currency from Other Wallets, such amounts will be deducted by Us from the Balance available in your Wallet when payable. If you have an insufficient Balance in your Wallet to pay fees or purchase prices when due, We may, without notice or liability, suspend or cancel your order.

We reserve the right to charge a monthly inactivity Fee in the amount of 50.00 USD/per month, if the total turnover of all Transactions is less than 1000 USD/per month.

Virtual Currency Transactions may require a miner fee. These miner fees are automatically created by the User's Wallet and sent to the miner. These miner fees are not Whitepay Fees. The miner fees paid to the network are not returned when any refund is executed. These fees include network fee, "gas" fee, etc., and are paid by the Customer at the moment of Transaction. Please note that these fees are charged in any case when making a Transaction (either in the form of a deduction from the amount sent, or by adding these fees to the amount sent), and, accordingly, the amount sent by the Customer may differ from the amount received by you.

All amounts payable are non-refundable and shall be paid without deduction, setoff or counterclaim. All prices, quotations, confirmations and Invoices are subject to exclusions or cancellation for clerical, typographic and similar errors and omissions.

Collecting Virtual Currency on your behalf

After creation of Account, you will be able to receive Virtual Currency from your Customers. By the creation of Account, you approve your consent to authorize Our third party liquidity providers, including, but not limited to — UAB Yond operations (registration number of the company: 305741312, company’s address: J. Savickio g. 4-7, Vilnius, Republic of Lithuania), which is registered as a Virtual currency exchange operator and Deposit virtual currency wallet operator within the Lithuania State Enterprise Centre of Registers and supervised by Financial Crime Investigation Service of the Republic of Lithuania, to receive Virtual Currency as well as deduct the applicable fees and other costs on your behalf, and to take any and all actions that We find necessary or desirable to provide Our Services to you and to comply with any applicable legislation and these Terms. Subject to these Terms, you retain ownership of all Virtual Currency in your Balances and Wallets.

Whitepay, Our third party liquidity providers shall not control, monitor, assess, authorize and/or supervise your activities and/or sales/purchases/donations. The foregoing does not preclude Us from exercising Our right to suspend, restrict or terminate the provision of Services to you at any time pursuant to the Terms, as well as to refuse to complete, to block or reverse a Transaction initiated by your Customer if We reasonably believe that it violates these Terms or there are other circumstances that may infringe Our, Our Users’ or the public’s legitimate interests.

In order to enable the provision of Services before executing any payment Transaction, Customers may be required upon a request of Whitepay to complete a verification process at the time of payment, depending on the amount of the transaction, as part of Our AML/ATF compliance obligations. We reserve the right to gather Personal Information of your Customers, such as a photo of a National ID document, Passport or Driver’s License if the collection of such information is required by law.

In relation to payments in Virtual Currency made to you, any legal relations are two-parties, exclusively between you as a User and your Customer making a payment.

Whitepay, Our third party liquidity providers are not parties to relations between you as a User and your Customer making payments in Virtual Currency. We do not accept any queries, letters, requests and/or complaints as well as liability for the quality, legality, safety, delivery or any other aspect regarding you and/or your company, your services, products, activities and/or a payment and/or a donation, or a purchase related to relation between you as a User and your Customers.

Any disputes between you as a User and your Customers shall be resolved exclusively between you and your Customers.

Our third party liquidity providers will clear payment Transactions from your Customers to you over the Virtual Currency peer-to-peer payment network and credit your Balance, according to your settlement preferences settings.

You can receive settlement in a local currency, in any of the supported Virtual Currencies, or in a mixture of both, and We have no right to impose any Virtual Currencies over local currency, as your choice in this respect supersedes any of Our preferences. Please note that minimum settlement thresholds apply. An account ledger will be created for each currency selected for settlement pursuant to your settlement preferences. If you change your settlement preferences, those changes will be effective for account ledger balances that are received after the date of the change. Any account ledger balances dating from before the preference change will settle pursuant to your pre-change settlement preferences.

If We need to conduct an investigation or resolve any pending dispute related to your Balance, or if required by law, court order, or at the request of law enforcement, or upon request from Our third-party liquidity providers as part of an AML check, the settlements may be delayed or the access to settlement funds may be restricted. In the case of a delayed settlement, We will strive to promptly inform you, unless prohibited by court order or law enforcement. We will not be liable to you for any damages or harm caused as a result of such delayed settlement or restricted access.

Please note that you are solely responsible for incorrectly provided details for Transactions.

Invoices

In order to accept a Virtual Currency payment, you need to create a payment request ("Invoice") using Our Products and Services, based on the amount you want to collect in your settlement currency. Whitepay's hosted Invoice User interface must be displayed to the Customer during checkout.

When Transactions are processed, Our Services use Virtual Currency exchange rate, which is available through Our Services and at your Account. We guarantee the exchange rate for your Customer as long as the Customer pays within the proper time window after the Invoice is created. Invoice timeout information ("UI Timeout") is clearly displayed on each Whitepay Invoice.

While We guarantee the exchange rate for the Customer as long as the Customer pays within such time-window, you agree that you assume the volatility risk of your settlement Virtual Currency.

For example, if you ask Us to collect $100.00 and the Customer sends the Virtual Currency’s equivalent within the time-window, you will receive exactly $100.00, minus Transaction Fees, but We do not guarantee the future value of the U.S. Dollar.

Similarly, if you chose to receive some or all of your settlement in Virtual Currency, We do not guarantee the future value of that Virtual Currency.

An Invoice is considered "Complete" by Us if it has been fully paid by the Customer, the corresponding Transaction has reached out the required number of block confirmations, and the payment has been credited to your Account. The number of confirmations required for a Transaction depends on several factors, including the blockchain being used and Our internal analysis of risk. We employ risk mitigation techniques to detect fraudulent payments, such as payments that are at risk of never receiving the required number of block confirmations. However, these measures do not completely eliminate the risk associated with unconfirmed payments.

You have the option to inform your Customer earlier about the status of an Invoice, e.g., if the Customer has sent payment, but the Transaction has not yet been confirmed. A confirmed Invoice means that payment has been made, and the required block confirmations have occurred, such that the Transaction has also passed risk validation measures, but it still needs to be credited to your account ledger.

We are not liable for settling Invoices which are not considered fully paid or complete. In other words, if you accept a payment before it is credited to your account ledger, it will not be settled to you if it will be determined as fraudulent or otherwise invalid.

Whitepay may add new Virtual Currency to the Whitepay Invoice. Additional Virtual Currency on the Invoice will be on an opt-out basis, such that they will be enabled by default unless you instruct Whitepay to disable them. In addition, there may be circumstances that cause Whitepay to decide to remove a particular Virtual Currency as a payment option.

All Transactions, such as payments, deposits, withdrawals, etc., are all reflected in the User’s Account. The information about the Transactions is kept and is available by accessing the Account during a period of time determined by Whitepay. Should you identify an error, you must notify Us within thirty (30) calendar days.

Transactions

By accessing and using any of Our Services, the User agrees that it is his sole responsibility for any and all conversions, deposits, withdrawals and other instructions entered into his Balance including identifiers, permissions, passwords, and security codes associated with his Account.

We represent and warrant that once a crypto-to-crypto or crypto-to-fiat Transaction has been initiated, such conversions may not be cancelled or reversed. The User represents and warrants that he has informed all his Customers of the irreversible nature of Transactions involving Virtual Currency; hence, a payment shall be submitted only after careful consideration.

Whitepay cannot be held responsible and/or liable for the delay in the processing of payments made by the fault of any third parties, or operators of such Transactions. The User is solely responsible for paying commissions and service fees related to payments, deposits and withdrawals made to and from his Balance. You also assume all the risks that accompany the provision of incorrect Wallet details.

The User represents and warrants that he will withdraw any Virtual Currency from his Balance only to his own Wallets and/or bank accounts.

Due to the inherent nature of the Virtual Currency networks, the User acknowledges and agrees that depositing and withdrawing Virtual Currency into/from his/her Balance may be subject to delays, barring unforeseen or unavoidable network issues, such as network errors.

Payment Exceptions

In certain situations, when an Invoice is underpaid or overpaid, it will result in a "payment exception". If a Customer requests a refund for a payment exception, Whitepay will deduct the miner fees from the refunded amount.

Underpayments. Underpayments occur when a Customer sends less than the full amount required to mark the Invoice as fully paid. Please note that the funds are credited to your Account by this payment in any case. The remainder of Underpayment must be accepted by you in any way available to you. In this case, you have 6 hours to close the full payment on this Invoice. It is understood that the other Transaction is a separate type of payment, from which fees will also be charged.
Overpayments. Overpayments occur when an Invoice receives excess funds. In such cases, the Invoice passes through the state of being paid in full and is marked as an overpayment. Once the Invoice status is set to "complete", the funds to mark the Invoice as fully paid are applied to your Account. However, the excess funds are not applied. The Customer also has the ability to request a refund of the excess funds directly from the Invoice. In this case, the refund will be made within 14 business days in USDT equivalent of Overpayment amount on the date of Overpayment.

Unsupported Payments/Declined Transactions

Unless explicitly mentioned in Our Website, through Our Services or in these Terms, We do not support or process payments for unsupported Virtual Currency (coins, tokens, or blockchain forks) collectively known as "Unsupported Payments".

Customers should not pay a Whitepay Invoice with Unsupported Payments or send Unsupported Payments to your Wallet address. If a Customer transmits Unsupported Payments, the Customer may lose any perceived value in the Unsupported Payments.

Additionally, Whitepay assumes no responsibility whatsoever with respect to Unsupported Payments and Customers will not be able to recover Unsupported Payments.

Any Transaction may be declined for the following reasons, even after Virtual Currency has been credited to your Account:

Declined because of wrong Transaction value;
Declined because of wrong User’s Wallet address;
Declined because of wrong Virtual Currency network;
Declined because of unsupported Virtual Currency;
Declined because of bad quality of User’s KYC/KYB verification data;
Declined because of low Virtual Currency network fee, "gas fee";
Declined because of low Virtual Currency network errors;
Declined because of the wrong Virtual Currency recipient.

Refunds

Whitepay is not responsible for the User's refund policies. We suggest Users provide a clear refund policy to their Customers (including, if applicable, "no refunds are allowed as all sales are final"). For certain industries, a refund policy may not be applicable (e.g., where a service is provided). If refunds are permitted, We recommend that Users refund the amount of the initial purchase in the currency in which the item was priced.

The User shall inform and agree with his Customers in good time before choosing to pay with Virtual Currency that a payment with such Virtual Currency cannot be reversed and that the Customer cannot receive a refund in Virtual Currency, but only in the currency of the purchase price. The User must agree with the Customer on a method to transfer possible refunds (e.g. transferring UDS to a bank account specified by the Customer to the User).

We reserve the right to establish the minimum amount that can be refunded on your behalf. If the amount requested is lower than the minimum refundable amount, We reserve the right to not issue the refund.

We may charge Fees and deduct other costs for processing refunds on your behalf.

Operations/Transactions Status

While Our Services aim for 100% server up-time, you should realize this is not always possible. We are constantly working on improvements and performing upgrades, which may occasionally result in server outages.

Whitepay reserves the right to perform maintenance or changes to the Services at any time it sees fit. This may result in periods during which the Services may be temporarily unavailable. We will, to the extent that it is possible, announce such interruptions in advance.

However, We are not required to do so and are not responsible for any damages or losses resulting from server outages, communication networks or blockchain systems.
