This involves providing accurate and complete information about yourself and, if applicable, your Authorized Users. You must update this information promptly if any changes occur. To use Crosswavepay Services, you must comply with our regulatory and legal requirements.

Crosswavepay reserves the right to request additional information and documentation from you at any time. This is necessary to comply with applicable laws, identity verification requirements, and to prevent financial crimes such as money laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud. You agree to provide any requested information, including personal details and documents related to the nature of your transactions. We will retain this information for the duration of your Crosswavepay Account's active period, or as long as required by applicable laws.

7.2. Outcomes of Providing Information.

You can access your transaction history through your personal dashboard. It is crucial that you regularly review your account activity and report any errors or discrepancies within thirty (30) calendar days of the history being made available to you.

8.2. Correcting Errors.

We hold the right to amend any inaccuracies in your transaction history at any time. This may involve nullifying, canceling, or adjusting transactions that are affected by a significant error, or altering the transaction details to what we reasonably determine to be accurate and fair.

You understand and agree that if you engage in transactions with improper intent, or if a significant error is detected, Crosswavepay is empowered to:

  • Invalidate such transactions and consider them null and void; or
  • Adjust the transaction prices to reflect the current market values at the pertinent time, as assessed by Crosswavepay using credible pricing sources.

Should Crosswavepay nullify a transaction under these provisions, any digital asset transfers linked to that transaction will be reversed as if the transaction never occurred. If Crosswavepay adjusts a transaction, the revised details will be communicated to you through an agreed channel, and the necessary digital asset transfers will be executed to reflect the updated transaction terms.

You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with third parties that may be related to or dependent on any transactions that Crosswavepay may cancel or amend under these terms.

8.3. Information Sharing.

We may need to share information regarding your Crosswavepay account and transaction history with third-party providers as required by these terms or applicable law. You agree that we are authorized to disclose such information. For more details on how we handle your personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

9. Commands and Instructions

9.1. Commands and Instructions.

You shall be liable for any instructions provided to the platform. We disclaim any responsibility for inaccuracies or errors in the commands and instructions you submit. We do not actively monitor your instructions and therefore will not reject instructions on the basis of potential errors. However, if we detect suspicious activities that suggest invalid instructions, we reserve the right to reject and investigate such instructions further. Once instructions are submitted, they cannot be withdrawn. It is your responsibility to ensure the validity and accuracy of your instructions. We reserve the right to record all your instructions.

9.2. Response to Instructions.

By submitting instructions on your Crosswavepay accounts, you authorize us to execute transactions, including buy/sell orders and other services provided by Crosswavepay, on your behalf. Your instructions permit us to debit or credit your account and settle transactions through third-party providers or any integral features of Crosswavepay. We reserve the right to adjust the balance of your digital assets or fiat currencies as per your instructions. If your balance is insufficient to cover the fees associated with your instructions, we reserve the right to refuse the transaction and inform you of the reason for the rejection. We also reserve the right to reject your instructions if your balance is insufficient to conduct the operations.

9.3. Privacy and Protection of Instructions.

You acknowledge that your instructions may be transmitted through internet service providers and third-party providers, such as email or database service providers. Consequently, we do not guarantee that your instructions will be free from unauthorized access, and you assume this risk.

9.4. Withdrawals.

Subject to these Terms and provided that you have a sufficient balance in your Crosswavepay account, and your digital assets or fiat funds are not on hold, you may instruct us to transfer these funds to an external wallet address or bank account by submitting a request through your dashboard.

Upon receiving your request, Crosswavepay will:

  • Deduct the requested funds from your balance.
  • Initiate the transfer of the requested funds, either via blockchain (for cryptocurrency) or through the appropriate banking network (for fiat currencies), to the address or account specified by you.

We reserve the right to decline processing any transaction if we identify any risks associated with it, including but not limited to compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations or terrorism financing rules.

10. Transactions

Crosswavepay does not guarantee the successful execution of any instructed and submitted transactions, nor does it guarantee that such transactions will be executed within a specific timeframe. We disclaim any liability for any delays or failures in the execution of transactions.

You are solely responsible for all transactions submitted from your account. It is your responsibility to ensure that your account is secured with multiple levels of security measures for authorization and transaction approval.

It is crucial that you take appropriate steps to protect your account from unauthorized access and ensure the integrity of your account credentials.

10.3. Retention of Transaction Information.

Your transaction information may be shared with third-party providers to ensure compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations and to adhere to our compliance processes. We may share your transaction and personal data with third parties, including but not limited to liquidity providers, fiat partners, and external compliance forces. This sharing of information is necessary to facilitate the provision of services, maintain the integrity of our platform, and comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

Any such removal will be communicated to you via email. We are not responsible for digital assets not listed on our website. If you send an unsupported digital asset to your account, it will be considered lost, and we may be unable to assist in recovering these funds. If recovery is possible, an additional fee may be charged for this service.

11.2. Supported Stable and Asset-Backed Digital Assets.

From time to time, we may support digital assets that are backed by or pegged to another asset, such as fiat currency, commodities (e.g., silver or gold), or other digital assets ("Asset-Backed Digital Assets"). By engaging in transactions involving Asset-Backed Digital Assets, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • You have thoroughly read, understood, and accepted all terms, conditions, and associated risks.
  • Crosswavepay has no obligation to purchase, repurchase, or facilitate the redemption of any Asset-Backed Digital Assets.

We reserve the right to change, suspend, or discontinue any services related to Asset-Backed Digital Assets at our sole discretion.

Each user will have a ledger-based (off-chain) account within the Crosswavepay system, identified by a unique identifier (UID) and associated login credentials, which records their credit balances. Crosswavepay does not act as a trustee for these digital assets and does not owe any trustee duties. When you instruct Crosswavepay to transfer or manage digital assets, we will not use specifically identifiable assets but will use assets of the same quantity and type as those credited to your account. You will not have a right to specific digital assets, but rather to an equivalent quantity and type.
