The risk of loss in holding Digital Currency can be substantial, therefore, you should carefully consider if holding Digital Currency is suitable for you in light of your financial condition.

2.1 Registration of Mercury Cash Account. In order to use any of the Mercury Cash Services, you must first register by providing your name, email address, password, and acknowledging your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. Mercury Cashmay, in its sole discretion, refuse to open an account or limit the number of accounts that a single user may establish and maintain at any time.
2.2 Identity Verification. In order to use certain features of the Mercury Cash Services, including certain transfers of Digital Currency and/or government-issued currency ("Fiat Currency"), you may be required to provide Mercury Cash with certain personal information, including, but not limited to, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, date of birth, social security number (for U.S. Citizens), taxpayer identification number (for Non-U.S. Citizens), government identification number, information about your profession or business activity, and information regarding your bank account (e.g., financial institution, account type, routing number, and account number). In submitting this or any other personal information as may be required, you certify that the information is accurate and authentic, and you agree to update Mercury Cash if any information changes.
You hereby authorize Mercury Cash to make, directly or through third parties, any inquiries we consider necessary to verify your identity and protect the company against fraud, money laundering or terrorist financing. That includes querying identity information contained in public reports (e.g., your name, address, past addresses, or date of birth), querying account information associated with your linked bank account (e.g., name or account balance), and taking any actions we deem reasonably necessary based on the results of such inquiries and reports. You further authorize any and all third parties to which such inquiries or requests may be directed to fully respond to such inquiries or requests
3.1 In General. The Hosted Digital Currency Wallet services allow you to send supported Digital Currency to, and request, receive, and store supported Digital Currency from, third parties pursuant to instructions you provide through the Mercury Cash Site (each transaction is a "Digital Currency Transaction"). Mercury Cash reserves the right to process or cancel any pending Digital Currency Transaction as required by law or in response to a subpoena, court order, or other binding government order or to enforce transaction limits. Mercury Cash cannot reverse a Digital Currency Transaction which has been broadcast to a Digital Currency network. The Hosted Digital Currency Wallet services are available only in connection with those Digital Currencies that Mercury Cash, in its sole discretion, decides to support. The Digital Currencies that Mercury Cash supports may change from time to time. If you have any questions about which Digital Currencies Mercury Cash currently supports, please contact support@mercury.cash. Under no circumstances you should attempt to use your Hosted Digital Currency Wallet services to store, send, request, or receive digital currencies in any form that are not supported by Mercury Cash. Mercury Cash assumes no responsibility or liability in connection with any attempt to use Mercury Cash Services for digital currencies that Mercury Cash does not support.
3.2 Digital Currency Transactions. Mercury Cash processes supported Digital Currency according to the instructions received from its users and we do not guarantee the identity of any user, receiver, requester, or another party. You should verify all transaction information prior to submitting instructions to Mercury Cash. In the event that you initiate a Digital Currency Transaction by entering the recipient`s email address and the recipient does not have an existing Mercury Cash Account, Mercury Cash will email the recipient and invite them to open a Mercury Cash Account. If the designated recipient does not open a Mercury Cash Account within 30 days, Mercury Cash will return the supported Digital Currency associated with the transaction to your Mercury Cash Account. 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 transaction is not complete while it is in a pending state. Funds associated with transactions that are in a pending state will be designated accordingly, and will not be included in your Mercury Cash Account balance or be available to conduct transactions. When Digital Currency Transactions are made from an external Wallet to a Mercury Cash wallet, an Internal Fee will be deducted to the client. Mercury Cash may charge network fees (miner fees) and internal fees to process a Digital Currency transaction on your behalf or at your name. Mercury Cash will calculate the network fee and the internal fee in its discretion.
3.3 Digital Currency Storage & Transmission Delays. Mercury Cash securely stores all Digital Currency private keys in our control in a combination of online and offline storage. As a result, it may be necessary for Mercury Cash to retrieve certain information from offline storage in order to facilitate a Digital Currency Transaction in accordance with your instructions, which may delay the initiation or crediting of such Digital Currency Transaction for 48 hours or more. You acknowledge and agree that a Digital Currency Transaction facilitated by Mercury Cash may be delayed.
3.4 Third Party Payments. Mercury Cash has no control over or liability for, the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services that you may purchase or sell to or from a third party (including other users of Mercury Cash Services). Mercury Cash is not responsible for ensuring that a buyer or a seller you may transact with will actually complete the transaction or is authorized to do so. If you experience a problem with any goods or services purchased from or sold to a third party in connection with Digital Currency transferred using the Mercury Cash Services, or if you have a dispute with such third party, you must resolve the dispute directly with that third party. If you believe a third party has behaved in fraudulent, misleading, or inappropriate manner, or if you cannot adequately resolve a dispute with a third party, you can notify Mercury Cash Support at support@Mercury.cash so that we may consider what action to take, if any.
3.5 Advanced Protocols. Unless is specifically announced on our website or through some other official public statement of Mercury Cash, we do not support metacoins, colored coins, side chains, or another derivative, enhanced, or forked protocols, tokens, or coins which supplement or interact with a Digital Currency supported by Mercury Cash (collectively, “Advanced Protocols”). Do not use your Mercury Cash Account to attempt to receive, request, send, store, or engage in any other type of transaction involving an Advanced Protocol. The Mercury Cash platform is not configured to detect and/or secure Advanced Protocol transactions and Mercury Cash assumes absolutely no responsibility whatsoever with respect to Advanced Protocols.
3.6 Advanced Protocols. Mercury Cash does not own or control the underlying software protocols which govern the operation of Digital Currencies supported on our platform. In general, the underlying protocols are an open source and anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute them. By using Mercury Cash, you acknowledge and agree (i) that Mercury Cash is not responsible for operation of the underlying protocols and that Mercury Cash makes no guarantee of their functionality, security, or availability; and (ii) that the underlying protocols are subject to sudden changes in operating rules (a/k/a “forks”), and that such forks may materially affect the value, function, and/or even the name of the Digital Currency you store in the Mercury Cash platform. In the event of a fork, you agree that Mercury Cash may temporarily suspend Mercury Cash operations (with or without advance notice to you) and that Mercury Cash may, in its sole discretion, (a) configure or reconfigure its systems or (b) decide not to support (or cease supporting) the forked protocol entirely, provided, however, that you will have an opportunity to withdraw funds from the platform. You acknowledge and agree that Mercury Cash assumes absolutely no responsibility whatsoever in respect of an unsupported branch of a forked protocol.
4.1 In General. Eligible users in certain jurisdictions may buy or sell supported Digital Currency through the Conversion Services. The Conversion Services are subject to the Mercury Cash "Conversion Rate" for the given transaction. "Conversion Rate" means the price of a given supported Digital Currency amount in terms of Fiat Currency or other Digital Currency as quoted on the Mercury Cash Site. The Conversion Rate is stated either as a "Buy Price" or as a "Sell Price," which is the price in terms of Fiat Currency or Digital Currency at which you may buy or sell supported Digital Currency to Mercury Cash. You acknowledge that the quoted Buy Price Conversion Rate may not be the same as the Sell Price Conversion Rate at any given time and that Mercury Cash may add a margin or “spread” to the quoted Conversion Rate. You agree, as a condition of using any Mercury Cash Conversion Services, to accept the Conversion Rate as the sole conversion metric. Mercury Cash reserves the right to delay any Conversion Service transaction if it perceives a risk of fraud or illegal activity. Mercury Cash does not guarantee the availability of its Conversion Service, and the act of purchasing supported Digital Currency from Mercury Cash does not result in a guarantee that you may sell your supported Digital Currency to Mercury Cash.
4.2 Purchase Transactions. After successfully completing the Verification Procedures and funding at least one Fiat Currency Wallet, you may purchase supported Digital Currency by linking an active Fiat Currency Wallet. You authorize Mercury Cash to initiate debits from your selected Wallet in settlement of purchase transactions. A Conversion Service Fee (defined below) applies to all purchase transactions. Although Mercury Cash will attempt to deliver supported Digital Currency to you as promptly as possible, funds may be debited from your Fiat Currency Wallet before Digital Currency is delivered to your Digital Currency Wallet. We will make our best efforts to fulfill all transactions in real time, however, in the rare circumstance where Mercury Cash cannot fulfill your purchase order at the stated Conversion Rate, we will notify you and seek your approval to complete the purchase order at the available Buy Price.
To secure the performance of your obligations under this Agreement, you grant Mercury Cash a security interest on the balances in your account.
4.3 Sale Transactions. After successfully completing the verification procedures, you may sell supported Digital Currency by linking an active Fiat Currency Wallet. You authorize Mercury Cash to debit your Digital Currency Wallet and initiate payments to your selected Fiat Currency Wallet in settlement of sell transactions. An applicable Conversion Fee (defined below) applies to all sale transactions. All transactions are processed in real time, however, receipt of Fiat Currency depends on the Digital Currency sold and funds may be exceptionally credited to the Fiat Currency Wallet on the following business day.
4.4 Service Fees. Each Conversion Service transaction is subject to a fee (a "Service Fee," also referred to as a "Conversion Fee"). The applicable Service Fee is displayed on the Mercury Cash Site prior to you completing a Conversion Service transaction. You can view the current fees on our Fee Table page https://www.mercury.cash/fees. Mercury Cash will not process a conversion transaction if the Service Fee exceeds the value of your transaction.
Mercury Cash reserves the right to adjust its Service Fees and any applicable waivers. We will always notify you of the Service Fee which applies to your transaction, both at the time of the transaction and in each receipt we issue to you.
4.5 Internal Fees. When Digital Currency Transactions are made from an external Wallet to a Mercury Cash wallet, Mercury Cash may charge a network fee (miner fees) and Internal Fee to process a Digital Currency Transaction. Mercury Cash will calculate the network fee and the internal fee in its discretion.
4.6 Credit/Debit Card Processor Fees: Funding of Fiat Currency Wallets using Credit/Debit cards are subject to transactions fees which will only be shown in your credit/debit card statement after payment. Depending on the country your Credit/Debit Card has been issued, additional fees out of Mercury Cash’s control may arise. You hereby acknowledge and agree that in some cases you may be charged differently than as listed on the Fee Table.
4.7 Reversals; Cancellations: 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 authorize Mercury Cash, in its sole discretion, either to cancel the transaction or to debit your other payment methods, including fiat currency balances in other wallets, in any amount necessary to complete the transaction. You are responsible for maintaining an adequate balance and/or sufficient credit limits in order to avoid overdraft, NSF, or similar fees charged by your payment provider. Mercury Cash reserves the right to refuse to process, or to cancel or reverse, any purchases or sales of Digital Currency in its sole discretion, even after funds have been debited from your account(s), if Mercury Cash suspects the transaction involves (or has a high risk of involvement in) money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other type of financial crime; in response to a subpoena, court order, or other government order; or if Mercury Cash suspects the transaction relates to Prohibited Use or a Prohibited Business as set forth below. In such instances, Mercury Cash will reverse the transaction and we are under no obligation to allow you to reinstate a purchase or sale order at the same price or on the same terms as the canceled transaction.
4.8 Errors In the event of an error, whether via our Services, in a purchase order confirmation, in processing your purchase, or otherwise, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your purchase transaction accordingly (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the purchase and refund any amount received. Your sole remedy in the event of an error is to cancel your purchase order and obtain a refund of any amount charged.
4.9 No Returns or Refunds. All sales and purchases of Digital Assets via the Services are final. We do not accept any returns or provide refunds for your purchase of Digital Assets, except as otherwise provided in these Terms.
4.10 Payment Services Partners. Mercury Cash may use a third-party payment processor to process funding and payments between you and Mercury Cash, including but not limited to payments in relation to your use of the Conversion Service, deposits, or withdrawals from your USD Wallet. Mercury Cash will not be held liable for any errors, mishandeling, loss or disruption of services caused or related to its Payment Services Partners.
5.1 Wallets. Verified users must establish and fund a fiat currency balance (either in the USD Wallet or the Euro Wallet) to facilitate transactions on the Mercury Cash platform.

Mercury Cash may charge a fee for receiving or sending funds to or from your account in order to cover fees charged by the banks. Your bank may charge you with additional bank wire transfer fees. Mercury Cash will credit your Fiat Currency Wallet a corresponding amount of Fiat Currency as soon as funds clear in its bank account, typically within two to three business days after you authorize a deposit.
5.3 Withdrawals. To withdraw funds from your Fiat Currency Wallet, the receiving bank account must be in the name of the Mercury Cash user. When funds in the Fiat Currency Wallet have been credited through wire transfer or Conversion Services, Mercury Cash will immediately debit your Wallet and process the transfer to the bank account.
