Transaction Price
39. The Transaction Price for the Execution of each Order shall be disclosed to the User prior to execution. The Transaction Price quoted to the User shall be valid for a limited period of time as indicated in the App. The Transaction Price will also give a clear indication and breakdown of the Transaction Fee related to the Execution of each Order. By accepting these Terms, you hereby agree to instruct and to authorise Damex to solicit the Market Prices available on the App in order to calculate a Transaction Price before allowing the User to instruct the Execution of the Order.
40. The calculation of the Transaction Price is based on the Market Price displayed by Damex. All information on which the Transaction Price is based, including the Market Prices are provided by the Application Programming Interface (the “API”) of Exchanges that Damex may use. Damex has no influence on this information and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. Damex is not responsible and will not be held responsible by you for any false or misleading information presented on the App which arises from the direct or indirect responsibility of the Exchanges except to where such information is as a result of the negligence or wilful misconduct by Damex.
Network Fees
41. We may charge Network Fees to process Digital Asset transactions on your behalf. We will calculate the Network Fees at our discretion, although we will notify you of the Network Fees prior to executing any Order.
42. Particularly during periods of high volume, illiquidity, fast movement or volatility in the Exchange of the Assets, the Network Fee at which an Order is Executed may be different from the prevailing Network Fee indicated by the App at the time of your Order.
43. If there’s a significant increase or a decrease in the Network Fees that are subject to the Order, which would have an effect on the Transaction Price, the Transaction will be Executed provided that the percentage margin of the increase or decrease of the Transaction Price shall not exceed the safety threshold defined by Damex of the price at the time when the Order was made by you. If the change in the Transaction Price is higher than the threshold margin defined by Damex at its sole discretion, the transaction will likely be cancelled and not be processed and in such an event you shall be informed that the Transaction was not Executed on your screen.
44. At this point, we do not accept any returns or give Refunds for your purchase of Digital Assets, except as otherwise provided in these Terms. You will not hold Damex liable for any damages and losses which result from the change in Market Price.
Order Execution
47. Should you wish to proceed with an Execution of an Order following the display of a Market Price to you in the App you shall click “Confirm” or similar prompt. By clicking such a prompt you instruct and give Order to Damex to use the Fiat Assets and/or Digital Assets in your Wallet to Execute the Order on your behalf. You are aware and agree that Damex merely Executes the Order and is under no obligation to verify whether the Order is adequate and appropriate.
48. When Damex Executes a Transaction based on your Orders we are not able to assess whether the Transactions you make are compatible with your necessities, and therefore, you are responsible for your use of the Assets in your User Account.
49. An Order placed through the App will be Executed, and the Transaction will appear in our User Account, under the concerned Wallet.
50. The User is solely responsible for determining whether any Transaction or Order placed through the App is appropriate, suitable, adapted to his/her financial situation, personal objectives, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance. The User should consult a legal, financial or tax professional regarding his/her specific situation before placing an Order through the App.
51. Should a User have an insufficient amount of Assets in their User Account to Execute an Order, the Transaction will be cancelled.

53. Any and all Transaction Fees resulting from the exchange and/or Withdrawal from the User Account are clearly displayed amongst the transaction details prior to the Execution of an Order.

As a result of this, financial institutions are required to pass on details of any customers they believe may be foreign tax residents to the relevant competent authority. Information on holding Digital Assets may be information we may have to disclose under our obligations under law. The information to be released includes (but is not limited to) the User Account holder’s (and anyone connected to the account) name, address, date of birth, tax number, account value at year end, interest received and proceeds from any sales. These details do not breach any data protection laws. Once the competent authority has your details, they will report to the relevant tax authority. As it is not certain whether Damex may be obliged to provide all of this information, Damex is retaining this information for the avoidance of doubt in the event of a future need for compliance subject to record retention. By accepting these Terms and using Damex’s Services you explicitly agree and authorise Damex, should we be required, to provide the competent authority with this data and hold Damex free from any liability and/or damages in relation to any such disclosure.
Anti-Money Laundering Legislation
81. Damex is obliged under proceeds of crime legislation to verify the identity of our customers and carry out due diligence to combat financial crime, money laundering and terrorist financing (“AML Requirements”). As a result, we will need to make certain enquiries and to obtain information from you for this purpose. In providing this information you declare and affirm to us that such assets and/or cash introduced to us by you will be from lawful sources and not deemed to be unlawful, illegal or immoral, either in their country of origin or in Lithuania.
Security
82. It is your responsibility to have secure access to the internet when transferring Digital Assets to Damex. It is your responsibility to ensure that you securely store the private keys for any Digital Assets which you hold for your own account and you will not rely on our assistance in this regard and you will indemnify Damex for any losses which may be incurred in your transferring of Digital Assets to Damex and you agree to hold Damex not liable for any assistance provided to you with executing transfers from your Digital Asset public key wallet address.
Fraud Detection
83. You must notify us immediately if you suspect or become aware of any fraud or unauthorised use of your User Account or any other breach of security by contacting support or emailing [email protected].

2.1 Limits may apply to the balance on your Account at any time, the maximum value of an individual payment Transaction, maximum Virtual Transaction value per Card, the maximum aggregate value of all payment Transactions made from your Account or Cards in a particular time period e.g. during any one Business Day and the maximum number of payment Transactions made from your Account over a particular timeframe. Your Cards may also have certain Card Transaction types disabled, such as cash withdrawals at an ATM.
2.2 The limits and restrictions that apply to your Account and Card will be communicated to you during the Account set-up process and/or before the Card is issued to you (as applicable). These limits may also change over time based on your Account and/or Card usage; any such change will be communicated to you. You can check the limits at any time by contacting Customer Services. You should not make a payment Transaction request which exceeds such.
2.3 From time to time a Card Transaction may be authorised which exceeds the limit or restriction applicable to your Account or Card, for example when it is used in an offline environment for example but not limited to payments for or on transport (purchases on a train, aeroplane, underground or toll payments). In such circumstance, a negative balance on your Account may occur. In this case the process in paragraphs 5.13 to 5.15 inclusive will apply.
2.4 Certain Merchants may require verification that the funds held on your Account will cover the Card Transaction amount and will place a “pre-authorisation” on your Card. This amount will be unavailable to you until the Card Transaction is completed or released by the Merchant. The pre-authorisation allows the Merchant up to 30 days to claim and settle any funds owed to them from the Card. Examples include but are not limited to hotels and rental cars. If there are insufficient funds available on your Account, Modulr must still make this settlement, which may result in a negative balance on your Account. In this case the process in paragraphs 5.13 to 5.15 inclusive will apply.
2.5 To manage our risk, particularly with respect to money laundering, fraud or security concerns, we also apply internal controls, including limits, to certain types of payment. We change these as necessary but for security purposes, we do not disclose them.
