The Company collaborates with Partners to access this information. This data will be utilized to deliver the requested Services for internal business purposes and to suggest other relevant products and services. By linking an Account, you grant the Company permission to act as your agent in accessing this information from specified third parties and authorize those parties to disclose your details to the Company.

Card Issuance and Pre-Authorization of Card Transactions

Card Issuance. The KAST Card, issued as part of the Card Issuance Services, is a credit card that can be used at retailers, merchants, online websites accepting cards from the relevant Card Network. Additionally, it allows for cash withdrawals at ATMs (limited to physical cards) provided they accept cards from the same network.

Pre-authorization of Card Transaction. When you make Card Transactions using your KAST Card, we will settle these transactions on the Card Network. You authorize the Partner to temporarily freeze an amount in the Custodian Wallet equal to the transaction cost and associated fees. This amount, referred to as the "Settlement Amount”, includes a buffer as detailed on the Platform, and is subject to the Company and Partners' discretion at the time of each transaction.

Conversion. Upon executing a Card Transaction, you grant our Partners permission to convert and deduct the necessary amount of Acceptable Tokens from the Custodian Wallet. This amount, equivalent to the Settlement Amount for the transaction, may be converted into stablecoins or fiat currencies at the Partner's discretion. The conversion rate is based on the current market rate between the settlement assets and converted assets. The converted funds are then used to settle the corresponding Card Balances.

Card Limit. The use of your KAST Card, including the credit limit, maximum value for single transactions, and daily and monthly transaction limits, is subject to the Company-set card limits. These limits are detailed on the Platform. The Company may modify these limits at its discretion without prior notice. Transactions exceeding these limits will be declined. You are advised not to exceed the applicable card limits, as transactions surpassing these limits will be automatically rejected.

Activation. As a registered user, you can request a KAST Card from the Company which will liaise with our Partners. The KAST Card is issued upon the Company's approval and must be activated via the process mentioned in the Platform. The Company and Issuer retain the discretion to decline your card request or revoke an issued KAST Card at any time.

Physical KAST Card. You recognize that the physical KAST Card is our property. You are responsible for its careful handling and use, ensuring it isn't tampered with, not allowing unauthorized use or sharing, avoiding intentional damage or defacement, and refraining from altering its appearance, including attaching anything or modifying its logos or designs.

KAST Card Validity and Renewal. Unless earlier terminated or canceled, each KAST Card is valid for a period set and shown on the Platform. Automatic renewal notices are sent via email one month before expiration if the card is used. A renewal fee, specified on the Platform, may be charged and debited from your Wallet Balance or billed separately. The same Terms apply to the renewed card. To opt out of renewal, contact the Company through the Platform. The Company and Issuer have the right not to issue a new Card upon the expiry of the Card's validity or the user's application for a new KAST Card. If the user does not accept the KAST Card and/or the KAST Card is not activated within 3 months from the date of issuance of the KAST Card, the Company or Issuer has the right to close, deactivate and destroy the KAST Card without refunding any service charges. The user undertakes not to use the KAST Card and not to allow the KAST Card user to use an invalid, closed or otherwise unusable KAST Card, and to physically destroy it within 3 days after it became closed or invalid or unusable.

Responsibility and Liability for Card Transactions. As the user of a KAST Card, you are fully responsible for all transactions made with the KAST Card. This includes ensuring that it is not used for any illegal or prohibited activities as per the laws of the place where the transaction occurs or in your country of residence. You bear liability for all Card Transactions, authorized or not, whether or not executed with your knowledge, and this extends to situations involving negligence on your part. You acknowledge and accept the risks associated with unauthorized Card Transactions.

Confidentiality and Security of Card Data. You shall keep your KAST Card Data strictly confidential, only sharing it as necessary for transactions. Exercise caution when providing Card Data to merchants to maintain its security. Sharing Card Data via unsecured methods, like email or fax, is not safe. Neither the Company, Issuer nor its affiliates are liable for unauthorized transactions due to your failure to secure the Card Data.

Non-Refundable Fees for Dispute Processing. Fees incurred by the Company, Partners or Card Network for processing disputes or Chargeback requests will be charged to the Wallet Balance or billed to you separately. These fees are non-refundable under any circumstances.

Custodial Management of Virtual Assets

Third-Party Custodianship. Your Virtual Assets in the Custodian Wallet are held by a Custodian part of our Partners to ensure the secure management of your Virtual Assets. By utilizing the Custodian Wallet, you acknowledge the risks involved, including system (related to the operation and security of the Custodian’s systems and platforms), market (arising from the volatile nature of Virtual Assets and their fluctuating market values), regulatory (associated with changing regulations and legal compliance of the Custodian), security (potential loss or theft of Virtual Assets due to cyberattacks or breaches by the Custodian), and operational risks (arising from operational failures, errors, or disruptions in the Custodian Wallet).

Authority Over Custodian: The Company is entitled to instruct the Custodian to execute various actions related to your Virtual Assets for settlement purposes including but not limited to freezing, converting, and transferring.

Custodian Selection Discretion: The Company reserves the right to change the Custodian and, in such an event, has your authorization to transfer your Virtual Assets to the new Custodian for the purpose of continuing to use the KAST Card and Services.

Delay in Transaction. Subject to any delays caused by Partners or delays due to fraud or compliance reviews initiated by the Partner, us or any third party partner providing you with services, transfers will normally process in the following time frame: a few business days for transfers from a linked account to the Custodian Wallet, or less, depending on factors such as payment type and funds availability. Transfer times are not guaranteed in any way by the Custodian, Partners and us.

Exemption from Liability: The Company and its affiliates bear no responsibility for any losses, damages or liabilities related to the Custodian Wallet's management or the virtual assets stored within or otherwise caused by or attributable to the actions or omissions of the Custodian. The Custodian is responsible and liable for the security of your Virtual Assets held in the Custodian Wallet.

Wallet Account Structure: Your Custodian Wallet consists of individual vaults assigned to service users for initially storing approved Virtual Assets. These assets are then aggregated into a separate, centralized omnibus account (“Pooled Account”), distinct from the Company's own accounts. This collective account includes the Virtual Assets of all users, ensuring that both your individual wallet details and your proportionate share of assets in this Pooled Account are meticulously recorded and maintained by the Partners, and your Custodian Wallet will at all times be maintained in the account records of the Company.

Disclaimer Custodian Wallet: The Custodian Wallet is not equivalent to a bank debit card, savings, or checking account and does not yield interest. The wallet is not classified as a deposit account and thus does not qualify for coverage under the Deposit Protection Scheme or similar guarantee or consumer protection mechanisms in other application jurisdictions.

User Acknowledgments and Warranties: You accept that our related Partners (1) hold complete control over the Custodian Wallet arrangements such as freeze, convert and transfer of your Virtual Assets on your behalf as may be required; (2) are not a fiduciary, trustee or escrow agent in relation to your Virtual Assets; and (3) you are not a party to any agreement between the Company and the Custodian. All Virtual Assets deposited by you into the Custodian Wallet are of legal origin and in compliance with all applicable laws.

Accessibility of Transaction Records: Transaction histories by month can be accessed through the Platform, and no physical statements will be issued for your Custodian Wallet.

Top-Ups: To deposit Virtual Assets into your Custodian Wallet, you must follow specific instructions available on the Platform. The Custodian Wallet is designed to accept only certain types of Virtual Assets, referred to as “Acceptable Tokens”, for adding funds. You represent and warrant that any Virtual Assets used to fund your Custodian Wallet are owned by you, free of any legal claims or disputes, and not tied to illegal activities. The Partners reserve the right to reject transactions such as top-ups if concerns arise about the assets' legality and authenticity, or if KYC, KYT, AML, and due diligence checks are not satisfactorily completed. Top-ups might be subject to fees as specified on the Platform.

Notifications on Asset Management: The Company will inform you via the Platform about any actions taken on your Account, such as asset freezes or conversions, including the details of affected assets and the applied exchange rates.

Acceptable Tokens: The list of Acceptable Tokens for your Custodian Wallet may be altered by either the Custodian or the Company. Changes can occur due to various factors, including but not limited to regulatory demands, amendments in laws, or issues like scams. You are responsible for ensuring that you only send Acceptable Tokens to the Custodian Wallet. Any assets sent to the Custodian Wallet that are not Acceptable Tokens may be irretrievably lost.

Wallet and Card Balance

Balance Limits and Adjustments: The balance in your Custodian Wallet is subject to minimum and maximum limits determined by either the Company or the Partners. These limits, which are outlined on the Platform, may be modified at their discretion.

Authorization for Transaction Settlement and Fee Deduction: Converting Virtual Assets in your Custodian Wallet to stablecoins or fiat currencies, or any deductions from your Wallet Balance, might lead to various charges. These can include transaction and network fees, third-party service fees, foreign exchange variances, and other customary fees. You grant the Company permission to deduct the necessary Virtual Assets from your Wallet Balance for Card Transaction settlements, converting them into stablecoins or fiat currencies as needed. This process includes deducting fees for regulatory compliance or risk management from your Custodian Wallet. These actions are at the Company's discretion and in line with applicable laws to protect your Virtual Assets. Using the Services may incur certain Fees. These will be deducted from your Wallet Balance or charged separately. Non-payment of Fees can result in suspension of Services until all such outstanding Fees have been settled. Fees are listed on the Platform and may be updated, removed or new fees introduced at the Company's discretion. All fees are exclusive of taxes, which will be added to the final charge. These fees are final and non-refundable under any circumstances unless otherwise determined by the Company. Partners may assess charges for their services pursuant to Partners' terms. The Company is not responsible for Partner’s Charges. Additionally, you might incur fees for sending or receiving funds on the Platform.

Responsibility for Wallet Operations: You are solely responsible for the outcomes of any freezes, deductions, or conversions made to your Virtual Assets in the Custodian Wallet. The Company is not liable for any losses or damages resulting from these actions.

Card Benefits and Modifications

The Company may offer, modify, or withdraw various benefits, promotional offers and discounts (“Benefit”) from various Partners at its discretion. Benefits might include mobile payment options, contactless payment, rewards, installment plans with certain partners, and other benefits as notified from time to time. Some benefits may require a separate application. The Company has the authority to exclude you from Benefits or reverse benefits if you breach any Terms.

ATM Withdrawal Services

KAST Card users can use their physical KAST Cards for cash withdrawals (“Withdrawal Services”) at compatible ATMs. Withdrawals are subject to limits set by the Partners. Fees for these services, which can change without notice, may be charged both by the Partners. Please note that fees may also be charged by ATM providers in respect of any withdrawal, in respect of which the Company and Issuer will have no control and will not be liable. The Company and Issuer are not liable for any losses, damages or liabilities related to ATM withdrawals, or Virtual Asset or currency conversions.

Regulatory Obligation

Both the Company and Partners reserve the right to conduct comprehensive customer due diligence through Know Your Customer (“KYC”), know your transaction (“KYT”) checks, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism (collectively named “AML”), and other due diligence checks on all transactions and Virtual Assets linked to your Custodian Wallet. You must provide accurate, updated and full information for these checks. If deemed necessary, the Company and Partners may freeze part or all assets in any Custodian Wallet, canceling, restricting or blocking access, Account and transactions of the affected Virtual Assets until unfrozen. The Company and Partners may also refuse asset transactions such as top-ups, transfer particularly if legality or authenticity issues arise, or if compliance checks are unsatisfactory.
