All Cryptocurrency sales and purchases by Instacoins are subject to availability. We reserve the right to cancel or discontinue any sale or purchase of Cryptocurrencies with or without notice.

Risks

The trading of goods and products, real or virtual, as well as virtual currencies, involves significant risks. Prices can fluctuate at any time. Due to such price fluctuations, you may increase or lose value in your assets at any given moment. Any currency, virtual or not, may be subject to large or sudden shifts in value and may even become worthless. There is an inherent risk that losses will occur as a result of buying, selling, or trading anything on a market. You should be aware that the risk of loss in trading or holding Virtual Currencies can be substantial.

Virtual Currency trading also has special risks not generally shared with official currencies or goods or commodities in a market. Unlike most currencies, which are backed by governments or other legal entities, or by commodities such as gold or silver, Virtual Currency is a unique kind of currency, backed by technology and trust. There is no central bank or government regulator that can take corrective measures to protect the value of the Virtual Currency in a crisis, change the amount of currency in circulation or balance the price fluctuations. Instead, Virtual Currency is an autonomous and largely unregulated worldwide system of currency firms and individuals. Traders and market participants put their trust in a Virtual, decentralized and partially anonymous system that relies on peer-to-peer networking and cryptography to maintain its integrity. Thus, the value of Virtual Currency may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange Legal Tender Currency for Virtual Currency, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular Virtual Currency should the market for that Virtual Currency disappear.

Virtual Currency trading may be susceptible to irrational (or rational) bubbles or loss of confidence, which could collapse relative to demand and supply. For example, confidence in Virtual Currency might collapse as a result of unexpected changes imposed by software developers or others, a government crackdown, the creation of superior competing alternative currencies, or a deflationary or inflationary spiral. Confidence might also collapse because of technical problems, for example, if the anonymity of the system is compromised, if money is lost or stolen, or if hackers or governments are able to prevent transactions from settling. Once a transaction settles and is delivered it is irreversible and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. Due to the nature of Virtual Currency, any technological difficulties experienced by the Company could prevent the access or use of a Member’s Virtual Currency.

The abovementioned is not a closed list, there may be additional risks that we have not foreseen or identified in our Terms of Use. You should carefully assess whether your financial standing and tolerance for risk are suitable for buying, selling, or trading Virtual Currency.

The Company uses banking providers in order to receive your funds and to make payments. Our banking providers do not transfer Virtual Currency, exchange Virtual Currency, or provide any services in connection with Virtual Currency.

Markets for Virtual Currency have varying degrees of liquidity. Some are quite liquid while others may be thinner or illiquid. The Company does not guarantee any profit from trading or any other activity associated with the Website.

Risk Disclosure

Cryptocurrency trading risks

The risk of loss in trading Cryptocurrency pairs, and Cryptocurrency and Legal Tender pairs can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources.

Internet transmission risks

You acknowledge that there are risks associated with utilizing an Internet-based platform such as the Services, including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware, software, and Internet connections. You acknowledge that Instacoins shall not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when trading via or otherwise utilizing the Services, however caused.

You agree that there may be operational issues, human error, malicious conduct (such as fraud or cyber-attack) and other risks associated with the transmission of Cryptocurrencies and Legal Tender, which may delay, prevent, misdirect, or otherwise frustrate your ability to transfer Cryptocurrencies and Legal Tender to or from Instacoins, the Services, or the Instacoins websites and mobile applications. You further agree that Instacoins is not obligated to assist or support you in any fashion with any unsuccessful transmission of Cryptocurrencies or Legal Tender.

We do not own or control the underlying software protocols of Cryptocurrency networks that govern the operation of Cryptocurrencies. In general, the underlying protocols are open source, and anyone can use, copy, modify or distribute them. We are not responsible for the operation of the underlying network protocols, and we make no guarantees regarding their security, functionality or availability.

Assumption of risk

You acknowledge and agree that you shall access and use the Services at your own risk, including but not limited to the risks described in these Terms.

IN LIGHT OF THE ABOVEMENTIONED RISKS, WHICH ARE NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER IF HOLDING VIRTUAL CURRENCY IS SUITABLE FOR YOU DEPENDING ON YOUR FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

Reversals and Cancellations

Instacoins reserves the right to reject any purchases or sale of Virtual Currency if we suspect the transaction involves or could possibly be involved in criminal activity, is a breach of our prohibited activities rules or any known legal, governmental, or regulatory laws or orders.

In the event that Instacoins cancels a transaction, we are not required to reprocess your exchange on exactly the same terms as the terminated purchase.

Deposits, Withdrawals and Refunds

Fees may apply to deposits sent to your own wallet. All fees will be outlined in advance of any transaction and are available elsewhere on our Website. Contact us should you have any questions regarding the cost of a transaction.

Instacoins is under no obligation to offer refunds (particularly where cryptocurrency has already been transferred) for any transaction or transacted funds. On the occasion that Instacoins does issue a refund, your monies will be credited back to your respective account within five to ten (5-10) business days. Kindly note that this may be subject to other delays by your corresponding bank. Instacoins reserves the right to charge a related refund or processing fee on such transactions. Please see our Refund and Cancellation Policy for more details.

Payment via Bank Transfer

The company has a set minimum transaction volume or size threshold. For all transactions funded via bank wire (or for any other method where Instacoins receives Legal Tender currency in advance from its clients), should the amount of Legal Tender currency received be less than such minimum volume or minimum size threshold, Instacoins will not process the transaction and will not exchange such Legal Tender currency into the equivalent in cryptocurrency. Please consult our FAQs for more information on the minimums stipulated for each currency.

In order for Instacoins to process such transactions, you will be required to send additional Legal Tender currency to reach the minimum transaction size. Additionally, you will have to pay an administrative fee of twenty-five /US Dollars (USD 25). Should you have made the wire in error, no longer intend to purchase cryptocurrency, or otherwise choose to request the Legal Tender currency back, we will levy an additional processing fee of fifty US Dollars (USD 50), as a processing fee.

Funding your account via bank transfer from third parties is not permitted. In the event we receive funds on your behalf from third parties we reserve the right to return the monies at the sender’s expense, and with no explanation, motivation, or communication, and /or impose processing fees as described above.

When making a bank transfer in a currency which is different than your native currency, it is highly likely that the amount we receive may be lower due to interchange bank fees. Please note these fees are not controlled or set by Instacoins and cannot be waived. In order to avoid this, always select the correct funding currency for your bank wire. We can accept payment via bank wire in EUR, GBP, USD, CAD, AUD, CHF, NOK and ZAR.

Fed Wire Payments

Where you send Fiat funds via The Federal Reserve Wire System, Instacoins will receive such funds even if there are instances where the name and/or email address of the sending account does not match the name and/or email address of your Instacoins account. When this is true, Instacoins will not be able to process the transaction since it would be classified as a third-party payment. In this case, Instacoins will return the Fiat funds and apply a processing fee which shall be deducted from the proceeds. The fee applied will be 5.5% of the transaction value in fiat. Foreign exchange charges may also apply.

Limitation and Indemnification

By accepting these Terms, you recognize, accept, and agree with the fact that there shall be no such occurrence by which Instacoins will be held liable for any amount which is greater than the total amount of funds related to a specific transaction.

By accepting these Terms, you recognize, accept and consent that any claim, be it direct, consequential, contractual, negligent or any such claim stemming from the use of Instacoins Services, your damages are restricted to the total value of the Legal Tender funds at the time of the exchange. You may not recover estimated, consequential or incidental losses.

Instacoins makes no representations or guarantees pertaining to the timeframe required to process any purchases which are reliant upon external processors such as banks or external Blockchains (virtual networks) that are not within our control. Instacoins retains no responsibility or liability for any such operational fault and failing, including, but not limited to substantial delays and the total failure of any such transaction which is the outcome of events not within our control.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Instacoins (and each of our officers, directors, members, employees, agents, contractors and affiliates) from any claim, demand, action, damage, loss, cost, or expense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out or relating to

  • (a) your use of, or conduct in connection with, our Services;
  • (b) any Feedback you provide;
  • (c) your violation of these Terms; or
  • (d) your violation of any rights of any other person or entity.

If you are obligated to indemnify us, we will have the right, in our sole discretion, to control any action or proceeding (at our expense) and determine whether we wish to settle it.

In the event that Instacoins is purchased by or merges with a third-party, we expressly reserve the right to allocate all or parts of the pertinent information we have obtained from you as part of any such change of business control.

Jurisdictions and Applicable Law

In the event any part of these Terms of Use shall be identified as invalid or not enforceable under any rule, law or regulation, the stipulation in question may be modified to be interpreted with the purpose to achieve the original requirements of the stipulation to the furthest extent possible under any relevant law.

By agreeing to the Terms, you are hereby agreeing that any action under these terms and conditions, or arising out of the usage of any Instacoins Services will be bound by arbitration as outlined below under the Arbitration clause. In the event, the Arbitration clause is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any way, you hereby agree that any cause of action against Instacoins pursuant to the Terms, or arising out of the usage of any Instacoins Services can only be brought in the courts of New York State, and bound by the laws of New York.

If these terms and conditions are translated into another language, the translation is for reference only and the English version will apply. By entering into this agreement and accepting Instacoins services, you confirm that you understand English language and agree to communicate with Instacoins in the English language as far as the legal relations arising under this agreement are concerned, including with respect to submitting and resolving any complaints.

If you have broken the agreement between you and us and we don’t enforce our rights, or we delay in enforcing them, Instacoins reserves the right to pursue action pursuant to local law.

Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US AND IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.

You and Instacoins agree to arbitrate any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of our Services, except for disputes in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING IN A COURT OF LAW. You and Instacoins agree to notify each other in writing of any dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises.

Notice to Instacoins shall be sent to legal@instacoins.com. You and Instacoins further agree:

  • (a) to attempt informal resolution prior to any demand for arbitration;
  • (b) that any arbitration will occur in the jurisdiction within which these terms are governed by, as previously explained herein;
  • (c) that arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator;
  • (d) that the state or federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals of an arbitration award and over any suit between the parties not subject to arbitration. Other than class procedures and remedies discussed below, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. Any dispute between the parties will be governed by these Terms and the laws of the State therein, or country, respectively, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you and Instacoins will not commence against the other a class action, class arbitration or representative action or proceeding.

Class Action Waiver

By agreeing to the Terms, you are hereby agreeing that with respect to any dispute: (i) the right to participate in a class action, private attorney general action or other representative action in court or in arbitration, either as a class representative or class member; and (ii) the right to join or consolidate claims with claims of any other person.

Electronic Notices

Consent to Electronic Delivery

You agree to receive electronically all communications, agreements, documents, receipts, notices, tax forms (e.g., all forms of IRS Form 1099, including 1099-MISC, 1099-B, 1099-K, 1099-INT, 1099-NEC), and disclosures (collectively, "Communications") that Instacoins provides in connection with your Instacoins Account and/or use of the Instacoins Services. You agree that Instacoins may provide these Communications to you by posting them via our Services, by emailing them to you at the email address you provide, and/or by sending an SMS or text message to a mobile phone number that you provide. Your carrier's normal messaging, data and other rates and fees may apply to any mobile Communications. You should maintain copies of electronic Communications by printing a paper copy or saving an electronic copy. You may also contact us through support to request additional electronic copies of Communications or, for a fee, paper copies of Communications.

Hardware and Software Requirements

In order to access and retain electronic Communications, you will need a computer with an Internet connection that has a current web browser with cookies enabled and 128-bit encryption. For certain Communications we’ll need to send to you, you will also need software to view PDF files. You will also need to have a current and valid email address and mobile phone number on file with Instacoins and have sufficient storage space to save past Communications or an installed printer to print them.

Withdrawal of Consent

You may withdraw your consent to receive electronic Communications by sending a withdrawal notice to support. If you decline or withdraw consent to receive electronic Communications, Instacoins may suspend or terminate your use of our Services. Additionally, any withdrawal of consent to receive electronic Communications shall act as your affirmation that your street address on file is current and up-to-date, and any Communications we are required to provide to you may be sent in paper form to that physical address. Unsubscribe requests may take up to 10 business days to process from the date the request is received.

Updating Contact Information

It is your responsibility to keep your email address, mobile phone number, and street address on file with Instacoins up to date so that Instacoins can communicate with you electronically. You understand and agree that if Instacoins sends you an electronic Communication but you do not receive it because your email address or mobile phone number on file was incorrectly provided by you, or out of date, our ability to contact you at the email address and/or mobile phone number is blocked by your service provider, or you are otherwise unable to receive electronic Communications, Instacoins will be deemed to have provided the Communication to you whether or not you actually received the Communication. Please note that if you use a spam filter that blocks or re-routes emails from senders not listed in your email address book, you must add Instacoins to your email address book so that you will be able to receive the Communications we send to you. You can update your email address, mobile phone number or street address at any time by logging into your Instacoins Account. If your email address or mobile phone number becomes invalid such that electronic Communications sent to you by Instacoins are returned, Instacoins may deem your account to be inactive, and you may not be able to complete any transaction via our Services until we receive a valid, working email address or mobile phone number from you.

Unclaimed Property

If for any reason Instacoins is holding Assets in your Instacoins Account on your behalf, and Instacoins is unable to return your Assets to your designated External Account after a period of inactivity, then Instacoins may report and remit such Assets in accordance with applicable local unclaimed property laws.

Amendment

We reserve the right to make changes or modifications to these Terms from time to time, in our sole discretion, by posting the amended Terms via the applicable Instacoins websites and mobile applications or by communicating these changes through any written or other contact method we have established with you and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms.

Waiver

Our failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under these Terms shall not operate as a waiver thereof.
