  4. Fiat Currency functionality

    1. Any Fiat Denominated Virtual Currency reflected in your Wallet is at all times a Virtual Currency. Your Wallet is not a bank account nor any other type of financial account and therefore no Fiat Currency is stored on your Wallet. Any Wallet functionality pertaining to the Fiat Currency is available for the sole purpose of purchasing, selling, exchanging and transferring the Virtual Currency, and this functionality may vary depending on your SpectroCoin company. You may not use the Wallet as a means to hold or transfer the Fiat Currency for the purposes other than stated above even if the Wallet functionality or combination thereof allows you to use our Services in this way.
      1. From the moment real Fiat Currency reaches the account of SpectroCoin company (transfer from your bank account, etc.) it is converted to a particular Fiat Denominated Virtual Currency, which is then reflected, held and administered in the Wallet. Accordingly, a withdrawal of real Fiat Currency is made by converting this Fiat Denominated Virtual Currency from your Wallet to the real Fiat Currency and transferring it to your specified location (financial account, etc.). Real Fiat Currency conversion to or from the Fiat Denominated Virtual Currency in the Wallet is made according to our established rate, which not always may be 1:1. The Fiat Currency definition throughout all the Agreement is used in the meaning of the Fiat Denominated Virtual Currency as it is explained here and in no case Fiat Denominated Virtual Currency in the Wallet can be treated as a real Fiat Currency.
      2. The Fiat Denominated Virtual Currency may also be transferred between and used for services offered by the selected (closed loop) partners on the Platform and/or related platforms, such as SpectroCoin exchange, which together with SpectroCoin are treated as the one closed loop platform. Any conversion of Fiat Denominated Virtual Currency to real Fiat Currency, real Fiat Currency deposit or withdrawal functionalities be used in the Wallet only as it is described in this annex.
    2. For the Fiat Currency transfers to/from your Wallet, you must use only your own account, and transfers to/from any external third-party accounts are strictly forbidden. In the context of this provision, transfers are treated to be from/to the third-party accounts if:
      1. A transfer made via SpectroCoin, in someone else's name, even when permission is given by the third-party.
      2. A transfer made via bank transfer, in someone else's name, even when permission is given by the third-party.
      3. A transfer made via an alternative transfer method such as Skrill, Neteller, Payeer or Perfect Money, in someone else's name, even when permission is given by the third-party.
      4. A transfer made on your behalf by a family member, friend or spouse.
      5. A transfer made via debit/credit card, in someone else's name, even when permission is given by the third-party.
    3. Funds can be added or withdrawn through available methods, such as your bank, payment institution or electronic money institution account. We can also offer a possibility to deposit or withdraw funds through our partners on the Platform, such as SpectroCoin loans, when you can add or withdraw funds using their wallet. We may at any time change the available payment methods or available service providers, which we choose at our sole discretion. SpectroCoin will have no liability or obligation for taking such action. You cannot add or withdraw funds to or from your Wallet from or to another person's account. In some cases, depending on your SpectroCoin company, there may be no possibility to add or withdraw funds to or from your Wallet at all.
    4. Funds are added to your Wallet as Fiat Denominated Virtual Currency upon receipt of payment to the SpectroCoin bank account or through an intermediary. Local bank transfer takes up to 2 working days, international transfers may take up to 10 working days, transfers through an intermediary may take up to 2 working days.
    5. Incorrect payments or payments from third parties’ accounts are returned to the payer after deducting fees of a bank, an intermediary and SpectroCoin return fee. In general, SpectroCoin takes no responsibility regarding such payments and their fate.
    6. Funds are withdrawn from your Wallet after the conversion from the Fiat Denominated Virtual Currency within 2 working days, but the actual transfer of money may be longer. A local bank transfer may take up to 2 working days, international transfers may take up to 10 working days, transfers through an intermediary may take up to 2 working days. However, transfers may take more time, in which case SpectroCoin will not take any legal responsibility for losses in relation to such cases.
    7. SpectroCoin reserves the right to prolong the term for any transaction (add or withdraw funds) and postpone their implementation, if there is a need to implement additional due diligence, verification, examination, investigation or any other of this sort activity due to internal risk management, official authorities request of recommendation or implementation of the legal requirements.

Before making a transaction, please make sure that the offered Buy & Sell Rates is suitable for you.

We do not have any obligation to you to explain, prove or justify our Buy & Sell Rates. If you choose to proceed with your transaction, we will consider that you agree with the Buy & Sell Rates.

SpectroCoin will either add on top or deduct from the transaction amount any fees payable in relation to such transaction, including the fees payable to any third party such as bank, e-Wallet, intermediary or other.

      4. If, for any reason, we are unable to charge the fees to your Wallet automatically, your Wallet will be blocked and your unpaid fees will be set-off against any sums payable to you by SpectroCoin or deducted from any sums payable to you through SpectroCoin Services. If none of these options are feasible, we will demand a refund from you.
      5. Payments received in other currency than the currency supported in the Customer account (if it is allowed under your account) are accepted by converting the currency in the bank or other institution selected by SpectroCoin and adding a conversion margin of 5%.
