  8. 4.1
    Loading

    You can load funds into your Prepaid Wallet using one of the payment methods available on the Site, such as mobile money or bank transfer (your Prepaid Wallet will show loaded funds once we have received them). Loading of funds may be done manually, or automatically through third-party payment aggregators like SlydePay. The Prepaid Wallet is not a deposit or investment account which means that your money will not be protected by the Financial Services Regulators. Money held in a Prepaid Wallet will not earn any interest.

    4.2
    Purchase or Sale of Digital Currency.

    You may purchase supported Digital Currency by using the money credited to your Prepaid Wallet. To carry out a Digital Currency Transaction using your Prepaid Wallet, you must follow the relevant instructions on the Site. A Digital Currency Transaction using your Prepaid Wallet should usually be settled immediately after an order is placed, except for delays from the digital currency network. You authorise us to debit your Prepaid Wallet.

    4.3
    Unsuccessful Payments.

    If a payment to load funds onto your Prepaid Wallet is not successful, you authorise PayPlux, in its sole discretion, either to cancel any related Digital Currency Transactions or delay your order until your successfully fund your wallet.

    4.4
    Account Information.

    You will be able to see your Prepaid Wallet balance and your transaction history from the dashboard in your app (web/mobile), including:

    (i) the amount (and currency) of each Digital Currency Purchase,

    (ii) a reference to identify the mode of payment,

    4.5
    Refund Rights.

      If an Unauthorised Transaction occurs as a result of our failure, we will refund you the amount of that transaction by no later than the end of the next business day after becoming aware of the Unauthorised Transaction. Generally, you will not be liable for losses incurred after you have notified us of the Unauthorised Transaction or if we have failed at any time to provide you with the means for notifying us. You will be liable for the first $10 of any losses you incur in respect of an Unauthorised Transaction which arises from the use of lost or stolen credentials (for example when you have failed to keep the login details for your PayPlux Account secure), and if you are fraudulent, or you intentionally or negligently fail to carry out your obligations under this Agreement and this results in Unauthorised Transactions (for example, if you deliberately share your email and password with a third party, or are grossly negligent in keeping your email and password secure, in both cases other than in accordance with Sections 3.2 and/or 4.6 ), you will be liable for all resultant losses incurred as a result of any such Unauthorised Transactions, not just the first $10.

      Where there is a dispute between us and you regarding whether or not a transaction is an Unauthorised Transaction, we may (but are not obliged to) temporarily credit your Prepaid/Cash Out Wallet whilst we settle the dispute. Where we determine that the transaction was authorised, we may reverse that credit and correct errors made in any statement of Prepaid Wallet without prior notice to you, although please note that during this period your Prepaid Wallet may be temporarily locked to avoid further Unauthorised Transactions. You will also be liable to us (as a debt) for any digital currency you have transferred which was temporarily credited to your Cash Out Wallet.

      Where an Incorrect Transaction is made as a result of our action or error we shall refund to you the amount of that transaction without undue delay and restore your Wallet to the state in which it would have been had the Incorrect Transaction not taken place. We will also endeavour to provide you with reasonable notice where possible. We will also pay any charges for which we are responsible, and for any interest which you can show that you have had to pay as a consequence of any Incorrect Transaction. Irrespective of our liability, on your request, we shall try to trace any Incorrect Transaction initiated by you free of charge. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to trace such transactions.

    4.6
    Appointment of Regulated Third Parties.

    You may, as set out in Section 3.2, appoint appropriately regulated third parties to access your Digital Currency Wallet ("Regulated Third Parties"). If you do, you should be aware that by virtue of such access, that Regulated Third Party may access your transactional and other data, and / or may initiate transfers from your Digital Currency Wallet. You will be liable for any actions that any Regulated Third Parties take on your PayPlux Account, as further set out in Section 3.2 above. We reserve the right to refuse access to any Regulated Third Parties, as set out in Section 4.7 below.

    4.7
    Refusing to deal with Regulated Third Parties.

    We may refuse access to Regulated Third Party for objectively justified and duly evidenced reasons relating to unauthorised or fraudulent access.

  9. Digital Currency Services.
  10. 5.1
    Fiat Currency Transactions ( using your Prepaid Wallet).

    You may purchase supported Digital Currency by linking a valid payment method to your Prepaid Wallet. You authorise us to debit funds using your selected payment method(s) to complete your purchase. Although we will attempt to deliver Digital Currency to you as promptly as possible, funds may be debited from your selected payment method before the status of your Digital Currency transaction is shown as complete, and it is delivered to your Digital Currency Wallet. You may sell Digital Currency in exchange for fiat currency (such as GHS, KSH or NGN) supported by PayPlux. In such circumstances, you authorise us to debit your Prepaid Wallet and to send instructions to credit your selected payment method(s) in settlement of sell transactions. We will send these instructions as soon as reasonably possible. Any fiat currency should be credited to your selected payment method(s) immediately after we send such instructions.

    5.2
    Transaction Fulfilment.

    We will make reasonable efforts to fulfil all purchases of Digital Currency, but in some circumstances, we may be unable to. If this is the case, we will notify you and seek your approval to re-attempt the purchase at the current Exchange Rate (as defined below).

    5.3
    Availability of Payment Methods.

    The availability of a method of payment depends on a number of factors including, for example, where you are located, the identification information you have provided to us, and limitations imposed by third-party payment processors.

    5.4
    Exchange Rates.

    Each purchase or sale of Digital Currency is also subject to the Exchange Rate for the given transaction. The "Exchange Rate" means the price of a given supported Digital Currency in fiat currency as quoted on the Site. The Exchange Rate is stated either as a "Buy Price" or as a "Sell Price", which is the price at which you may buy or sell Digital Currency, respectively. You acknowledge that the Buy Price Exchange Rate may not be the same as the Sell Price Exchange Rate at any given time and that we may add a margin or ‘spread’ to the quoted Exchange Rate. You agree to accept the Exchange Rate when you authorise a transaction. We do not guarantee the availability of any Exchange Rate. We do not guarantee that you will be able to buy and / or sell your Digital Currency on the open market at any particular price or time.

    5.5
    Authorisations; Reversals; Cancellations.

    By clicking the Buy or Sell button on the Site, you are authorising PayPlux to initiate the transaction at the quoted Buy Price or Sell Price and agree to any associated miner fees.

    You cannot cancel, reverse, or change any transaction marked as complete or pending. If your payment is not successful or if your payment method has insufficient funds, you authorise us, in our sole discretion, either to cancel the transaction or to debit your other payment methods. You are responsible for maintaining an adequate balance and/or sufficient credit limits in order to avoid overdraft, insufficient funds, or similar fees charged by your payment provider.

    5.6
    Digital Currency Transactions.

    We will process Digital Currency Transactions in accordance with the instructions we receive from you. You should verify all transaction information prior to submitting instructions to us. We do not guarantee the identity of any user, receiver, requestee or other third party and we will have no liability or responsibility for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate and complete. Digital Currency Transactions cannot be reversed once they have been broadcast to the relevant Digital Currency network. We may charge network fees ("miner fees") to process a Digital Currency Transaction on your behalf. We will calculate the miner fees at our discretion, although we will always notify you of the miner fees at (or before) the time you authorise the Digital Currency Transaction. Miner fees for each individual transaction will be disclosed to you at the time of purchase on the checkout page. When you or a third party sends Digital Currency to a PayPlux wallet from an external wallet, the person initiating the transaction is solely responsible for executing the transaction properly, which may include, among other things, payment of miner’s fees in order for the transaction to be successful. Non-payment of miner fees may cause your transaction to remain in a pending state outside of PayPlux’s control and we are not responsible for delays or loss incurred as a result of an error in the initiation of the transaction and have no obligation to assist in the remediation of such transactions.

    Once submitted to a Digital Currency network, a Digital Currency Transaction will be unconfirmed for a period of time pending sufficient confirmation of the transaction by the Digital Currency network. A Digital Currency Transaction is not complete while it is in a pending state.

    *We may also refuse to process or cancel any pending Digital Currency Transaction as required by law, regulation or any court or other authority to which PayPlux is subject in any jurisdiction. *

    5.7
    Supported Digital Currencies.

    Our Digital Currency Services are available only in connection with those digital currencies that PayPlux supports, and this may change from time to time.

    5.8
    Advanced Protocols.

    Unless specifically announced on the Site or via an official public statement of PayPlux, we do not support metacoins, coloured coins, side chains, or other derivative, enhanced, or forked protocols, tokens, or coins which supplement or interact with a Digital Currency we support (collectively, "Advanced Protocols"). You should not use your PayPlux Account to attempt to receive, request, send, store, or engage in any other type of transaction involving an Advanced Protocol. Our platform is not configured to detect and/or secure Advanced Protocol transactions.

    5.9
    Third-party Payments.

    We have no control over, or liability for, the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services that you may purchase from, or sell to, any third party (including other users of the Digital Currency Services). We are not responsible for ensuring that a third party buyer or a seller you transact with will complete the transaction or is authorised to do so. If you experience a problem with any goods or services purchased from or sold to, any third party using Digital Currency transferred using the PayPlux Services, or if you have a dispute with such third party, you should resolve the dispute directly with that third party.

    If you believe a third party has behaved in a fraudulent, misleading, or inappropriate manner, or if you cannot adequately resolve a dispute with a third party, you may notify PayPlux Support at [email protected] so that we may consider what action to take, if any.

    7.2

    If we refuse to complete a transaction and/or suspend, restrict or close your PayPlux Account, and/or terminate your use of PayPlux Services, we will (unless it would be unlawful for us to do so) provide you with notice of our actions and the reasons for refusal, suspension or closure, and where appropriate, with the procedure for correcting any factual errors that led to the refusal, suspension or closure. In the event that we refuse to complete a transaction and/or suspend your PayPlux Account, we will lift the suspension or complete the transaction as soon as reasonably practicable once the reasons for refusal and/or suspension no longer exist. However, we are under no obligation to allow you to reinstate a transaction at the same price or on the same terms as the suspended, reversed or cancelled transaction.
