ENGAGEMENT OF SERVICES AS CRYPTO BROKER

The Client hereby provides Bluetrino with permission to purchase of Crypto Currencies on behalf of the Client and send these to an address specified by the client. Bluetrino will act as the Digital Asset Broker between client and beneficiary and will process the clients funds or assets as per instruction.

PROCESS

Following the receipt of payment to your Beneficiary via our Business banking account Bluetrino reserves the right to process the funds as per the instructions received.

PRICE GUARANTEE ON CRYPTO REMITTANCE

Bluetrino commits to always providing a “Best effort” service based on speed and liquidity. We endeavour to provide this service to our clients at the best rate and without fees.The crypto assets are purchased at a best effort price. 

For purchasing and onward sending of crypto assets (Crypto remittance) we guarantee a fixed conversion upfront with the end recipient and that there are no costs other than a fixed processing fee or R900 per transaction over 50 000 USD and R200 for transactions below 50 000 USD. 

In case there is a difference in value during the transaction process we will endeavour to inform the client beforehand.

This excludes any transactional bank fees and/or any additional charges incurred in processing the transaction which will be communicated to the client, the cost of which is determined at the banks’ discretion. Bluetrino has no control over the exchange rate at which the funds are processed.

TRANSACTION TIMING

You understand and agree that when you initiate a payment we will begin processing the transfer instruction and the designated funds could leave our Account as early as the moment of the initiation of such transfer instruction. We are therefore unable to process any refunds or cancellations and this would need to be initiated according to your Beneficiaries terms and conditions.

TRANSACTION TIME FRAME

There is no definitive time frame on processing funds from our Account to the Beneficiaries account. We will endeavour to process all funds as efficiently as possible, based on exchange control and the best market value, but cannot guarantee a timeframe on the finalised transaction. Transactions can take anything from 3 days to 21 days to complete.

CANCELLATION OF SERVICES

You agree that we may (a) modify or discontinue any portion of our Services, and (b) suspend or terminate your access to the Services, at any time, and from time to time, without notice to you in certain, limited circumstances described herein. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification or termination of the Services, or suspension or termination of your access to the Services, except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth herein.

If we terminate the Transaction, our only obligation, and your sole recourse, will be for Bluetrino to credit your Account for the amount of the cancelled Transaction, unless we are required to freeze the funds due to, for example, suspected risks of money laundering, illegal activities, online fraud and in some other cases, as required by applicable regulations.

We reserve the right to refuse to process or to cancel any pending Transaction as required by law or in response to a subpoena, court order, or other binding government order.

All blockchain-based transactions are non-reversible. Bluetrino cannot reverse any Transaction that has been communicated to and confirmed, for example, by the Virtual  currency network.

The regulatory framework in relation to transactions involving virtual currencies is still emerging. It is possible that your transactions are or may be in the future subject to various reporting, tax or other liabilities and obligations. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the country, regional (for example, in the EU/EEA) or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of virtual currency

You accept the risk that a Transaction may be delayed for any reason and you agree to hold Bluetrino harmless from and against any damages or injury arising out of or related to such delay.

REVIEW AND VERIFICATION
