Part 1: GENERAL USE
Description of Services. Payfura allows users to engage in transactions directly with Payfura for the purchase or sale of certain digital currencies (each currency usable on the Site, a “Digital Currency ”) in exchange for fiat currency or another Digital Currency (each such transaction, an “Digital Currency Transaction”).
Payfura’s current pricing information for the Digital Currencies may be viewed through the Site. Please note that Digital Currency prices are volatile and fluctuate throughout the day, and any pricing information obtained through the Site is for informational purposes only. In order to conduct a Digital Currency Transaction, you must log into your Payfura Account and input the desired transaction details (e.g., purchase or sale, the currency you wish to purchase/sell, and amount). Payfura will then provide its current pricing information for your chosen currency[ies]. If you accept the pricing displayed, you can then accept and confirm the Digital Currency Transaction. If you do not accept the pricing displayed, you can choose not to proceed and cancel.
Once you accept the price and confirm, Payfura settles the Digital Currency Transaction by executing a corresponding debit to your chosen payment method (credit, debit or prepaid card, bank account or third-party provided digital currency wallet, as applicable) and crediting your designated third-party digital currency wallet with the purchased digital currency or your bank account with fiat currency, as applicable.
Wallets. Payfura does not offer digital currency wallets. In order to use the Payfura Services, you must provide us with the address of one or more third-party provided digital currency wallets to which we can transfer your purchased Digital Currency (a “ Linked Wallet”). You may only link digital currency wallets that you own and control to your Payfura Account. By providing us with the address to send purchased Digital Currency, you represent and warrant that you own and control such a wallet. If at any time you no longer own or control a third-party provided digital currency wallet that is linked to your Payfura Account, you must notify us and remove such wallet from your Payfura Account immediately.
Payment Method. In order to purchase Digital Currency from Payfura, you must provide a valid and accepted payment method, which will be linked to your Payfura Account (your “Linked Payment Method ”). Upon Payfura’s verification of your payment method(s), you will be able to engage Digital Currency Transactions.
Eligibility.

Scope of Communications to Be Provided in Electronic Form. You understand and agree that we may provide you with any or all of the following types of communications electronically: (i) legally required disclosures, notices and other communications associated with your access to or use of the Services, including, but not limited to information about fees or charges, and any and all legally required pre- and post-transaction disclosures; (ii) customer service communications; (iii) privacy policies and notices; (iv) changes to this Agreement, (v) statements, information and records regarding your transactions; (vi) information regarding the debiting or charging, as applicable of your selected payment method; (vii) any and all legally required error resolution policies, and responses to claims filed in connection with your access to or use of the Services; (viii) any other communications related to your access to and/or use of the Services, and (ix) with your consent, marketing and other promotional communications (collectively, “ Communications”).
Communications in Writing. All Communications in either electronic or paper format from us to you will be considered “in writing.” You should print or download for your records a copy of this Agreement and any other Communication that is important to you.
Method of Providing Communications to You in Electronic Form. All Communications that we provide to you in electronic form will be provided either (i) via e-mail, (ii) by access to a web site that we will designate in an e-mail notice we send to you at the time the information is available, or (iii) to the extent permitted by law, on the Site or via SMS text message. You agree to promptly review all Communications sent to you, and that these are reasonable procedures for sending and receiving electronic communications.
How to Update Your Records. To receive electronic Communications, at the time that you first use the Services, you must provide us with a true, accurate and complete e-mail address and your contact information, and you must promptly notify us of any changes to this information. You can update information (such as your e-mail address) through the Site.
Hardware and Software Requirements. In order to access, view, and retain electronic Communications that we make available to you, you must have an electronic device that enables access to your e-mail account or a commercially available Internet browser. You may wish to utilize a device that is capable of storing or printing the Communications for your records.
Requesting Paper Copies. If you have consented to receive electronic Communications, we will not send you a paper copy of any Communication unless we deem it appropriate to do so. You can obtain a paper copy of an electronic Communication by printing it yourself. We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to provide a paper (instead of electronic) copy of any Communication that you have authorized us to provide electronically. You may obtain a paper copy of any legally-required Communications and or agreements. You may request such a paper copy by visiting https://payfura.com or contacting us at team@payfura.com.
How to Withdraw Consent. You may withdraw your consent to receive Communications in electronic form at any time by visiting https://payfura.com/ or contacting us at team@payfura.com. Any withdrawal of your consent to receive electronic Communications will be effective only after we have received your request for withdrawal and have a reasonable period of time to process such request. In the meantime, you will continue to receive Communications in electronic form. By withdrawing your consent, you will no longer be able to use the Services. Withdrawing consent to receive marketing communications only does not preclude use of the Services, however. If you withdraw your consent, the legal validity and enforceability of prior Communications delivered in electronic form will not be affected, and your previous electronic records will remain accessible for such period as is required under law and in a form that allows the record to be accurately reproduced to all persons who are entitled under law to access the record.
Federal Law. You acknowledge and agree that your consent to electronic Communications is being provided in connection with a transaction affecting interstate commerce that is subject to the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“ E-SIGN Act”), and that you and we both intend that the E-Sign Act apply to the fullest extent possible to validate our ability to conduct business with you by electronic means.
