*The Services listed herein shall be rendered exclusively by our duly authorized service providers who possess the requisite licenses and approvals in accordance with the laws and regulations of the relevant jurisdiction. Our duly authorized service providers reserve the right to discontinue their service provision to COBBYPAY in accordance with the terms outlined in the service agreements. Such actions may have an impact on the accounts of COBBYPAY’s clients. COBBYPAY accepts no liability for any losses and damages that clients may incur in connection with any disruption of services and/or discontinuation of provided services.
The selection of the service provider for each specific service shall be made in strict adherence to their respective licensing and regulatory requirements.
Client Orders
The Client’s orders must be clear and doable. The Client needs to confirm all actions done using their credentials or in the way COBBYPAY asks (like signing a document). This confirmation means the Client agrees to the action taken.
The Client sends orders electronically or in another way they agree with COBBYPAY, using forms provided by COBBYPAY (like logging into the Electronic Channels).
For any payment, the Client must give COBBYPAY accurate, complete, and clear information. COBBYPAY can also ask for more documents to follow the rules and its own procedures. The Client needs to get all necessary permissions and give COBBYPAY the needed documents on time for the payment to be executed.
COBBYPAY shall allow the Client to make payments only if the people authorized by the Client are identified as per COBBYPAY’s records, follow the signature rules, and the transaction limits set for the Client at that time.
COBBYPAY can change payment limits, deadlines, exchange rates, or interest rates without warning, and the changes apply right away in the Electronic Channels.
The Client has to follow COBBYPAY’s security guidelines for protecting their Payment Accounts. COBBYPAY won’t be responsible for any losses or damages if the client does not follow the security guidelines published by COBBYPAY. If the Client uses its Payment Account via Third Party Services (e.g. e-wallets) the Client must follow the security guidelines applicable to Third Party Service.
Transactions involving cryptocurrencies may not be executed in real time due to compliance procedures and reliance on third-party providers. The exchange rate applied to a cryptocurrency transaction will be the rate prevalent on the execution date of the order. We and our affiliates shall not assume any liability for losses incurred if the cryptocurrency transaction is executed at a less favorable exchange rate than the rate on the day of the order. The Client acknowledges the inherent volatility of cryptocurrency markets and understands that exchange rates may fluctuate between the order placement and execution.
