We may refuse, suspend, limit, or otherwise restrict access to any Service where required or advisable for reasons including compliance with Applicable Law, AML/CTF or sanctions obligations, security concerns, operational constraints, risk-management considerations, or to protect NEXPAY's legitimate business or reputational interests.
4. SERVICES - GENERAL
4.1 Provision
Services may be provided directly by NEXPAY or through authorised third-party providers. We may modify, suspend, restrict or discontinue any Service at any time to comply with regulatory requirements, operational needs or risk considerations. Availability of specific Services may vary by jurisdiction, licensing status and regulatory approvals.
4.2 Third‑party Terms
Certain Services rely on third-party providers (including card issuers, custodians, Swap Providers, AML/KYC vendors and banking partners). Where such providers impose their own terms, rules or policies, you agree to comply with them. In the event of a conflict, mandatory third-party terms will prevail for the relevant Service.

a) Services
NexPay provides a technology-enabled platform through which Clients may access digital asset-related services, including transaction functionality, account interfaces, and integrations with third-party service providers.
b) Fiat Funds
NexPay does not act as a bank or deposit-taker. Any fiat funds supported through the platform are held by authorised third-party banks or payment service providers in accordance with their regulatory permissions. NexPay does not hold or take ownership of Client fiat funds.
c) Virtual Asset Custody Infrastructure
Where custody services are offered, digital assets are secured using the Fireblocks UK INT’L Limited (“Fireblocks”) platform, which provides institutional-grade wallet infrastructure, key management, and transaction security. Fireblocks acts as a technology service provider and does not assume ownership or control of Client assets.
c) Custody Responsibility
Custody of digital assets is exercised on behalf of the Client in accordance with the applicable service model and regulatory framework. NexPay does not act as a bank, trustee, or fiduciary unless expressly stated.
5. ACCOUNTS, CUSTODY AND RECONCILIATION
5.1 Account Nature
Accounts are operational tools used to facilitate the Services. They are not bank accounts, savings accounts, investment products or regulated deposit-taking facilities supervised by SUGEF, SUGEVAL or any equivalent authority.
Accounts are not insured by FONDEMIPO or any deposit guarantee or investor-protection scheme, unless expressly stated for a specific regulated service.
5.2 Custody
For Custodian Accounts, assets will be held either by the Group, an appointed custodian, or sub‑custodian under custody agreements. Title, legal ownership and protections are subject to the applicable custody model, the custody agreement and local law; segregation and insolvency protections differ by jurisdiction.

We will provide transaction histories and periodic statements through the App. Our electronic records are deemed accurate, conclusive and binding unless you notify us of a manifest error within thirty (30) calendar days (or a shorter period where required by local law).

Withdrawals, transfers and outbound movements of funds or Virtual Assets (as applicable) may be subject to service-specific rules, network congestion, liquidity conditions, provider limitations, AML/CTF controls and sanctions screening. NEXPAY may delay, restrict or refuse processing where required by Applicable Law, by a third-party provider, or for risk-management purposes.

Card issuance is subject to card network rules and issuer agreements. Annex B (NexPay Card Terms) sets out additional rights and obligations specific to the Card.

Swap Transactions are executed and settled by designated third party liquidity or Swap Providers. Annex C applies to all Swap Transactions.

8. SELF‑CUSTODY WALLET AND SMART CONTRACT VAULT
8.1 Self‑custody Responsibility

NEXPAY cannot recover lost private keys or seed phrases and will not be liable for any loss arising from your failure to secure such credentials. You acknowledge the irreversible and complex nature of blockchain transactions and self-custody management.
Annex D provides additional terms governing self-custody and Smart Contract Vaults.
8.2 Smart Contracts; Protocol Risk
Smart contracts involve code, design, protocol and economic risks including vulnerabilities, exploits, forks, protocol failures and network disruption. We do not guarantee the security, functionality or correctness of any third-party smart contract and are not liable for losses arising from smart-contract or protocol risks, except to the extent directly caused by our gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
9. VIRTUAL ACCOUNTS
9.1 Nature
Virtual Accounts are operational payment identifiers used for routing and reconciliating inbound payments. They do not constitute bank accounts, deposit accounts, savings accounts, or regulated payment accounts unless expressly stated for a specific Service. Funds sent to a Virtual Account may be pooled, processed, or held by third-party banks or payment providers, and all settlement timing, intermediary bank deductions and routing are subject to the terms, processing rules and operational constraints of such providers.
9.2 Reconciliation
We will use reasonable efforts to reconcile incoming payments assigned to your Virtual Account. You must notify us in writing within fourteen (14) days of becoming aware of any missing, misrouted, delayed or misapplied payment. Failure to provide timely notice may result in our records being deemed conclusive.

17.2 Allocation
Unless expressly stated otherwise, each vendor is responsible for the performance of its own services.

You acknowledge that certain remedies may need to be pursued directly against the relevant vendor, subject to contractual limitations and Applicable Law.
17.3 Vendor Disclosure
We will maintain a public, redacted vendor register. A full vendor list and relevant contractual summaries may be provided to regulators and, upon legitimate request and subject to confidentiality safeguards, to customers.
18. INSURANCE
18.1 Coverage Statement
We may maintain commercially reasonable insurance, where available, to cover certain operational risks. Such insurance does not increase or modify the Liability Cap, does not create any obligation to pay amounts beyond the applicable policy terms, and does not provide any guarantee or assurance to you. Any insurance proceeds are at NEXPAY's discretion and may not be payable to you.
19. COMPLAINTS, DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND GOVERNING LAW

Except to the extent prohibited by Mandatory Law, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, including non‑contractual claims, shall be finally resolved by arbitration seated in San José, Costa Rica, in accordance with the rules agreed between the Parties, or, failing agreement, the rules of the Cámara de Comercio de Costa Rica or other competent arbitration body.
19.4 Jurisdictional Conflicts
If Mandatory Law in your jurisdiction restricts or disapplies the arbitration clause or other contractual limitations for certain claims (including low-value consumer claims), such Mandatory Law shall apply only to the extent required.

You may not assign, transfer or subcontract any rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. NEXPAY may assign, transfer or subcontract any of its rights or obligations, including to affiliates or authorized third parties, provided that such assignment does not materially reduce your contractual protections.
20.4 Force Majeure
Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform obligations under these Terms caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of government, regulatory action, war, civil unrest, pandemics, natural disasters, strikes, supply failures, internet outages, or blockchain network disruptions.

These Terms, together with incorporated documents and applicable Annexes, constitute the entire agreement between you and NEXPAY regarding the Services.
We may amend these Terms to comply with regulatory, operational or business requirements and will notify you in accordance with Applicable Law. Your continued use of the Services after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
ANNEX A — CUSTODIAN ACCOUNT TERMS
A.1 Custody Model
(a) Where NEXPAY or an appointed custodian holds Virtual Assets on your behalf, the applicable Custodian Agreement governs title, segregation, sub-custody arrangements, and all custody-specific rights and protections.
(b) Client assets will, where practicable and as required by Applicable Law, be held segregated from NEXPAY's proprietary assets. The nature and legal effect of segregation including insolvency treatment, are determined exclusively by the Custodian Agreement and Applicable Law.
(c) We or any appointed custodian may freeze, block, restrict or delay access to any Custodian Account or Virtual Assets where required for AML/CTF checks, sanctions compliance, fraud prevention, security or operational risk reasons, or pursuant to instructions from a competent authority, a custodian, or a sub-custodian.
A.2 Sub‑custodians
(a) NEXPAY may appoint reputable sub‑custodians in one or more jurisdictions as part of the custody model. Sub‑custodians will be engaged under written agreements that include appropriate contractual protections including safekeeping, reporting, and audit rights.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, we are not liable for the acts, omissions, insolvency or failures of any sub‑custodian, except to the extent directly caused by our own gross negligence or wilful misconduct in their appointment or oversight.
A.3 Account Statements and Reconciliation
(a) Transaction histories and statements will be provided via the App. You must notify us in writing within ten (10) calendar days of any manifest error. Failure to notify within this period may result in our records being deemed conclusive.
(b) On-chain transfers are irreversible once broadcast to a blockchain network. Network congestion, miner fees, protocol errors, forks or chain re-organisations may delay, alter or prevent settlement. You are solely responsible for ensuring that wallet addresses, network selection and transaction details are correct.
A.4 Withdrawals and Transfers
(a) Withdrawal requests are subject to AML/CTF checks, sanctions screening, network conditions, settlement timing, liquidity constraints and any applicable holds or limits. We may delay, restrict or refuse withdrawals where required by Applicable Law or risk-management considerations.
(b) We or any appointed custodian may freeze, block or delay access to Custodian Accounts or Virtual Assets where required by AML/CTF, sanctions, fraud prevention, operational risk, or regulatory instructions.

A.5 Insolvency and Title

ANNEX B — NEXPAY CARD TERMS (CARDHOLDER AGREEMENT)
B.1 Card Issuer and Processing
(a) Cards are issued by a licensed card issuer or program manager and operate on the relevant card network (e.g., Visa/Mastercard) in accordance with the issuer, network, and acquiring-bank rules. Your use of the Card is subject to those rules and applicable Cardholder Agreement terms.
B.2 Activation and Use
(a) Cards must be activated through the App prior to use. Use of the Card constitutes acceptance of these terms and of the applicable network and issuer rules.
(b) Certain merchants (including hotels, fuel stations, car rentals and online service providers) may place a pre-authorisation hold on your Card. This temporarily reduces your available balance. The final settlement amount may differ from the pre-authorised amount, and the release of any hold may take several days and is outside NEXPAY's control.
B.3 Funding and Chargebacks
(a) Card transactions debit your designated funding source (Custodian Account, Wallet or other approved balance). Chargebacks, disputes and reversals will be processed in accordance with card-network and issuer rules. We may debit your Account for chargebacks, dispute amounts or fraudulent transactions as required under those rules.
(b) You must provide any information or evidence requested to support a chargeback or dispute. Filing a chargeback does not guarantee recovery of funds, and we may debit your Account for any chargeback, reversal, dispute amount or related fees.
(c) Card transactions may post with delays due to merchant settlement practices, network timing or issuer rules. Offline transactions may be processed later and may exceed your available balance; you remain responsible for all such amounts.
B.4 Fees and Limits
(a) Card fees (including issuance, replacement, ATM withdrawal, FX and other fees) and applicable limits are set out in the Fee Schedule. We may amend such fees and limits with the notice required by Applicable Law.
(b) ATM withdrawals are subject to applicable limits, ATM-operator fees, network fees and foreign exchange charges. NEXPAY is not responsible for ATM malfunctions, the availability of cash, or any fees charged by third-party ATM operators.
B.5 Lost/Stolen Cards and Liability

B.6 PINs & Security
(a) You must keep your PIN, CVV and card details confidential and comply with all security guidance provided through the App or by the issuer.

The NEXPAY Card is provided to you on behalf of NEXPAY in connection with your status as NEXPAY customer and pursuant to your separate User Agreement between you and NEXPAY (the "User Terms"). The Issuer is not a party to the NEXPAY User Terms and disclaims any liability for the performance of services covered therein.
Details on NEXPAY's collection, use, and handling of your personal data are described in the Privacy Policy. Please review it carefully and contact NEXPAY if you have any questions. By opening, using, or maintaining a Card, you consent to and direct Issuer to share information relating to transactions, including receipt information or other personal data, in order to deliver the Services.
The card program is issued by the Issuer under license from Visa. The information about the cost of the Card described in the above table is accurate as of December 19, 2025. This information may change after that date. To find out what may have changed, contact our support team at support@nexpay.com.
2. DEFINITIONS
"Card Networks" means the payment card networks including Visa or Mastercard.
"Charge" means a payment for goods or services made to a merchant that accepts payments on the applicable Card Network.
"Chargeback" means a dispute that you initiate against a merchant for an unresolved dispute with the merchant or where a Charge is unauthorized.
"Fee" means charges we impose on you for use of Services or your use of a NEXPAY Card.
"Issuer" refers to the issuer of the card program.

"Supported Blockchains" means the Ethereum Blockchain, Polygon Blockchain, Optimism Blockchain, Arbitrium Blockchain and other blockchain networks which may be added at the sole discretion of Issuer.
3. SPENDING LIMITS
Your spending limit is generally set by NEXPAY pursuant to the terms of the NEXPAY Terms. Issuer may additionally set spending limits on each NEXPAY Card or an aggregate spending limit across all NEXPAY Cards, at its sole discretion. Spending limits are dynamic and may be modified at any time with or without notice to you, including temporary increases or decreases or reducing spending limits to $0. Any authorized Charge or fee on a NEXPAY Card may reduce your spending limit by a corresponding amount.
When you use NEXPAY Card to initiate a transaction at certain merchants where the amount of the final transaction is unknown at the time of authorization, Issuer may assess a value to such a Charge for an amount higher or lower than the final Charges. The initial "hold" Charge will reduce your spending limit until the final Charge is determined.
4. PURCHASES & RESTRICTIONS
The primary purpose of your Account is for personal expenses. NEXPAY and Issuer reserve the right to block and terminate transactions and suspend access to your Account, unless prohibited by applicable law, for transactions and activity which presents patterns that do not conform with consumer purposes.
You may use your Account to purchase or lease goods or services (each, a "purchase") by presenting your Card or providing to participating merchants and establishments that honor the Card your Card number and additional information by any other means (for example, over the phone, online or through a mobile app).
We will not be liable to you (or anyone else) if any merchant or other person cannot or will not process a purchase permitted under these Card Terms. Unless prohibited by applicable law, we may from time to time limit the type, number and dollar amount of any purchase, including any cash-like transaction, even if you have sufficient available credit to complete the purchase.
Cash-Like Transactions
Cash-like transactions include, but are not limited to, the following transactions to the extent they are accepted:
- Purchasing travelers checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, other similar digital or virtual currency and other similar transactions
- Purchasing lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, race track wagers, and similar offline and online betting transactions
- Person-to-person money transfers and account-funding transactions that transfer currency
- Making a payment using a third-party service including bill payment transactions not made directly with the merchant or their service provider
We reserve the right to deny any purchase for any reason, such as account default, suspected fraudulent or unlawful activity, internet gambling, or any indication of increased risk related to the purchase. Where reasonably necessary, we may terminate or suspend your use of the Card or the Account, with or without notice, in order to comply with regulatory requirements, AML/CFT obligations, operational needs, or the Company's risk-management policies, and where permitted by Applicable Law. Cash advances and balance transfers are not available under these Card Terms.
Prohibited Activities
You acknowledge and agree that you have read and understood the Prohibited Activities List and that you will not engage in any such activities when using the Services or the NEXPAY Card.
You acknowledge and agree that you will not use the NEXPAY Card (1) for any expense which is not an expense incurred by you; (2) for any purpose prohibited by these Card Terms; (3) for, with, or for the benefit of any individual or entity who is blocked or sanctioned by the United States, including those identified by the United States Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC); (4) for anything other than personal, family, or household use.
You will use all reasonable means to protect your NEXPAY Cards and log-in credentials to the NEXPAY Account from unauthorized use. You will not allow any other person or third party to use the Services or the NEXPAY Card on your behalf. You will immediately notify us where you know or suspect that access to your NEXPAY Account has been compromised or your NEXPAY Card has been lost, stolen, or compromised in any way.
5. PAYMENTS
5.1 Promise to Pay
While you will generally repay NEXPAY for amounts transacted with your Card, you also promise to pay Issuer or its assignees for all amounts charged to the Account not repaid by NEXPAY, including all purchases, interest, and charges charged to your Account. You are obligated to repay NEXPAY or its assignees for all transactions made using your Card by people you have authorized to use the Card even if their use of the Card exceeds the authorization which you gave them.
5.2 Periodic Statements
You are responsible for payment in full of all Charges and Fees. Your NEXPAY Account may include Periodic Statements identifying Charges, Fees, refunds, the amount of your Collateral, any other Card transactions, or other amounts owed or credited to your NEXPAY Account. Periodic Statements may be made accessible to you on your NEXPAY Account daily, monthly, or as otherwise prescribed by Issuer.
You must notify us promptly if you believe that there are any errors on your Periodic Statement, and submit any disputes or Chargebacks in accordance with these Card Terms. We are not obligated to send you a monthly statement if we deem your Account to be uncollectible or applicable law does not require us to send you a monthly statement for other reasons.
5.3 Repayments
Where applicable, you may make a repayment for a balance on one or more of your NEXPAY Cards by any means that are permitted by NEXPAY and as provided in your NEXPAY Account.
Any failure to pay the full amount owed to NEXPAY or the Issuer, as applicable, when required is a breach of these Card Terms. You are responsible for all costs or expenses that we may incur in collecting amounts owed but not timely paid, including legal or collections fees and any interest at the maximum rate permitted under law.
5.4 Prepayment
At any time and where applicable, you may pay all or any part of your outstanding Account balance, without penalty. Payment of more than the payment due in one billing cycle will not relieve you of the obligation to pay the entire payment due in subsequent billing cycles.
6. FEES
Subject to applicable law you agree to pay the following fees:
We will disclose any Fees to you when you are approved for a NEXPAY Card through your NEXPAY Account, by updating these Card Terms, or through our website. We may update, add, or change Fees upon 30 days' notice to you.
Fees we assess may include interest or other finance-related charges, periodic fees, fees for Card issuance or replacement, fees applicable to certain transactions, foreign transaction fees, usage fees, service fees, cash advance fees, fees for late payments, fees for failed payments or returned payments, fees for misuse of the Services, fees for Liquidation Events, or other fees we disclose to you. You are responsible for Fees in addition to Charges.
6.1 Penalty Fees
(a) Liquidation fee - Reserved
(b) Returned Payment Fee - Each time a payment on your Account is returned or reversed for any reason or we must return any check, instrument, or transaction you send us because it is incomplete or faulty, we will charge you a returned payment fee. However, we will not charge a returned payment fee if we are charging a late fee with respect to the same minimum payment due and will never charge a returned payment fee exceeding the minimum payment due that was due immediately prior to the date on which the payment was returned to us.
(c) Additional Fees - We may charge fees for special services you request in accordance with applicable law.
6.2 Foreign Currency Transactions
If you make a transaction using your Account in a foreign currency (including, for example, online purchases from a merchant located outside of the U.S.), the credit card association will convert any transaction in foreign currency into U.S. dollars using an exchange rate for the applicable central processing date that is (1) selected by the association from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets, which rate may vary from the rate the association receives, or (2) the government mandated rate. The conversion rate you get may differ from the rate on the transaction date or the posting date, and from the rate that the credit card association gets.
A merchant or other third party may convert a transaction into U.S. dollars or another currency, using a rate they select, before sending it to the credit card association.
Foreign Transaction Fees: up to 3%
7. MANAGING YOUR NEXPAY CARDS
7.1 Requesting and Replacing Cards
We or the Issuer may decide not to grant requests for NEXPAY Cards or limit the number of physical or virtual NEXPAY Cards provided to you. You are responsible for securing NEXPAY Cards, account numbers, and NEXPAY Card security features. You will promptly notify us and take appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized transactions when a NEXPAY Card is lost, stolen, breached, or needs to be replaced.
In such cases, you may request the issuance of replacement NEXPAY Cards through your NEXPAY Account. Replacement Cards may have new account numbers that could require you to update the NEXPAY Card on file for any scheduled or recurring payments. You are solely responsible for updating NEXPAY Card information stored with merchants where account numbers have been changed.
7.2 Permitted and Unauthorized Use
You may only use NEXPAY Cards for bona fide personal charges and transactions.
You agree to establish and maintain controls designed to ensure that the NEXPAY Cards are only used by you for permitted purposes and in compliance with these Card Terms, any NEXPAY terms, and applicable law. You are responsible for Charges and transactions made by any person given access to NEXPAY Cards even if they are not the person associated with or named on the NEXPAY Card.
7.3 Lost or Stolen Cards
If your Card is lost or stolen or if you think someone may be using your Card or Account without your permission, you must notify us promptly by emailing us at support@nexpay.com. You will not be liable for any unauthorized use that occurs after you notify us. You may, however, be liable for unauthorized use that occurs before receipt of your notice by us.
You have an obligation to assist us in our investigation if your NEXPAY Card is lost or stolen or you believe someone is using your NEXPAY Card or your NEXPAY Account without your permission.
8. CHARGEBACKS
You are responsible for reviewing your Periodic Statements promptly and identifying any Charges that you believe are unauthorized or that you dispute.
If you and a merchant have a dispute regarding a Charge identified on your Periodic Statement, such as delivery of incorrect goods or services or being charged the wrong amount, you should first attempt to resolve the dispute with the merchant. If the dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction or if you believe the Charge is unauthorized, you may initiate a Chargeback through your NEXPAY Account.
You must report any disputed Charge or error no more than 60 days after the disputed Charge is posted on your Periodic Statement. We may require additional details on the transaction and our review of your disputed Charge will be conditioned on you providing all of the information we may require to review the disputed Charge.
You understand that the NEXPAY Card is subject to Card Network rules regarding chargebacks. The Card Networks have additional established procedures for resolving chargebacks that may require you to provide further details of the disputed Charge or associated documentation.
Charges relating to disputed Charges and Chargebacks that are pending resolution may still be due and owing as of the date that payment is due as provided in the applicable Periodic Statement. Chargebacks resolved in your favor will be credited to your NEXPAY Account on either the current or a future Periodic Statement.
We may impose Fees, reduce your spending limits, or suspend access to your NEXPAY Account or the Services if you fail to pay Charges relating to Chargebacks that are pending resolution on the payment date.
9. TERMINATION
Subject to applicable law, we may suspend, revoke or cancel your Account privileges, your right to use the Card or deny any transaction, in our sole discretion at any time, with or without cause and with or without giving you notice.
Any termination of credit privileges, whether initiated by us or by you, will not affect any of our rights or your obligations under these Card Terms, including your obligation to repay any amounts you owe us according to the terms of these Card Terms. On our demand or upon termination of credit privileges, you agree to surrender to us or destroy the Card.
If you attempt to use the Card after the termination of credit privileges (whether or not we have provided notice of such termination), the Card may be retained by a merchant, ATM or financial institution where you attempt to use the Card.
10. CHANGE OF TERMS
Subject to applicable law, we may at any time change, add to or delete terms and conditions of these Card Terms, including interest rates and this Change of Terms provision. Such changes may be based on our anti-fraud policies and procedures, your level of compliance with these Card Terms, prevailing economic conditions and/or any other factors.
We will give you notice of any change, addition or deletion as required by applicable law. As of the effective date, the changed terms, at our option, will apply to new purchases and the outstanding balances of your Account, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
11. REMEDIES
In the event of your default under these Card Terms, we may, subject to applicable law (including any applicable notice requirement):
(a) declare all or any portion of your outstanding Account balance to be immediately due and payable;
(b) instead allow you to repay your Account balance by paying the minimum payment due each billing cycle, without waiving any rights under subsection (a); and/or
(c) commence a collection action against you and charge you for any court costs and/or any reasonable attorneys' fees and costs we are charged in connection with such action by any attorney who is not our salaried employee.
After a default, interest charges will continue to accrue until your total Account balance, including accrued interest charges, is paid in full, subject to applicable law.
12. DELAY IN ENFORCEMENT
We may at any time and in our sole discretion delay or waive enforcing any of our rights or remedies under these Card Terms or under applicable law without losing any of those or any other rights or remedies. Even if we do not enforce our rights or remedies at any one time, we may enforce them at a later date. For example, we may accept late payments without losing any of our rights under these Card Terms.
13. COMMUNICATIONS AND CALL RECORDING
You authorize NEXPAY, Issuer and their partners, affiliates, agents, assigns, and service providers (collectively, the "Messaging Parties") to use automatic telephone dialing systems, artificial or prerecorded voice message systems, text messaging systems and automated email systems, or any system capable of storing and dialing telephone numbers to deliver messages relating to these Card Terms, your Account, or your relationship with the Messaging Parties more generally.
These messages may include information about your Account, upcoming payment due dates, missed payments and returned payments. You also agree that these messages may deliver prerecorded and/or artificial voice messages. You understand that telephone messages may be played by a machine automatically when the telephone is answered, whether answered by you or someone else, and that these messages may also be recorded by your answering machine.
You also authorize the Messaging Parties to deliver messages to you via mail or email at any addresses you supply to them or that they obtain through any legal means.
You understand that anyone with access to your mail, telephone or email account may listen to or read the messages the Messaging Parties leave or send you, and you agree that the Messaging Parties will have no liability for anyone accessing such messages. You further understand that, when you receive a telephone call, text message or email, you may incur a charge from the company that provides you with telecommunications, wireless and/or internet services, and you agree that the Messaging Parties will have no liability for such charges except to the extent required by applicable law.
You expressly authorize the Messaging Parties to monitor and record your calls with the Messaging Parties. If any telephone number you have provided to the Messaging Parties changes, or if you cease to be the owner, subscriber, or primary user of any such telephone number, you agree to immediately give notice to the Messaging Party who delivered the messages of such facts so that the Messaging Party can update its records.
This authorization is part of our bargain concerning these Card Terms, and we do not intend it to be revocable. However, to the extent you have the right to revoke your consent to communications by autodialed calls and text messages to your mobile number under applicable law, you may exercise this right by contacting the applicable Messaging Party directly or by sending a request by email to support@nexpay.com with the subject line "END COMMUNICATIONS."
You may opt-out of receiving most of these messages at any time by sending us a request to support@nexpay.com or by responding "STOP" to any text message. To stop emails only, you can follow the opt-out instructions included at the bottom of the Messaging Parties' emails.
14. GOVERNING LAW
These Card Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Costa Rica without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions) that are excluded from the Arbitration section below must be brought in competent courts in San José, Costa Rica, unless we both agree to some other location, and you hereby consent to the venue and personal jurisdiction of such court.
15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION & ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THIS "DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION" PROVISION VERY CAREFULLY. IT LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND ISSUER.
Binding Arbitration
(a) Scope of Agreement to Arbitrate
You and Issuer agree that any and all past, present and future Disputes (defined below) shall be determined by arbitration, unless your Dispute is subject to an exception to this agreement to arbitrate set forth below. You and Issuer further agree that any arbitration pursuant to this section shall not proceed as a class, group or representative action.
The award of the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
"Dispute" means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Issuer that arises out of or relates to:
- (i) these Card Terms (including any addenda hereto or other terms incorporated herein by reference)
- (ii) the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity hereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of the agreement to arbitrate hereunder
- (iii) any Services (including, without limitation, the NEXPAY Card)
(b) Governing Law for Arbitration
This agreement to arbitrate shall be construed under and be subject to the laws of Costa Rica, notwithstanding any other choice of law set out in these Card Terms.
Arbitration Procedure
(a) Informal Resolution
Before filing a claim against Issuer, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by providing written notice to Issuer of the actual or potential Dispute. Similarly, Issuer will provide written notice to you of any actual or potential Dispute to endeavor to resolve any claim we may possess informally before taking any formal action.
The party that provides the notice of the actual or potential Dispute (the "Notifying Party") will include in that notice (a "Notice of Dispute") your name, the Notifying Party's contact information for any communications relating to such Dispute, and sufficient details regarding such Dispute to enable the other party (the "Notified Party") to understand the basis of and evaluate the concerns raised.
If the Notified Party responds within ten (10) business days after receiving the Notice of Dispute that it is ready and willing to engage in good faith discussions in an effort to resolve the Dispute informally, then each party shall promptly participate in such discussions in good faith.
(b) Commencement of Arbitration
If, notwithstanding the Notifying Party's compliance with all of its obligations under the preceding paragraph, a Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is sent (or if the Notified Party fails to respond to the Notice of Dispute within ten (10) business days), the Notifying Party may initiate an arbitration proceeding as described below.
If either party purports to initiate arbitration without first providing a Notice of Dispute and otherwise complying with all of its obligations under the preceding paragraph, then, notwithstanding any other provision of these Card Terms, the arbitrator(s) will promptly dismiss the claim with prejudice and will award the other party all of its costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with such Dispute.
(c) Arbitration Administration
To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, you and Issuer each agree to resolve any Disputes that are not resolved informally as described above through final and binding arbitration as discussed herein, except as set forth under Section 15.4 below.
You and Issuer agree that the Cámara de Comercio de Costa Rica will administer the arbitration under its Rules. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the Cámara de Comercio de Costa Rica Rules.
Arbitration will proceed on an individual basis and will be handled by a sole arbitrator. The single arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the Cámara de Comercio de Costa Rica's roster of arbitrators.
If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within fourteen (14) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the Cámara de Comercio de Costa Rica will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the applicable Rules.
The arbitrator(s) shall be authorized to award any remedies, including injunctive relief, that would be available to you in an individual lawsuit, subject to any effective and enforceable limitations of liability or exclusions of remedies set forth herein.
Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this paragraph, if a party seeks injunctive relief that would significantly impact other Issuer users as reasonably determined by either party, the parties agree that such arbitration will proceed on an individual basis but will be handled by a panel of three (3) arbitrators. Each party shall select one arbitrator, and the two party-selected arbitrators shall select the third, who shall serve as chair of the arbitral panel. That chairperson shall be a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and with experience arbitrating or mediating disputes.
In the event of disagreement as to whether the threshold for a three-arbitrator panel has been met, the sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with this Section shall make that determination. If the arbitrator determines a three-person panel is appropriate, the arbitrator may – if selected by either party or as the chair by the two party-selected arbitrators – participate in the arbitral panel.
(d) Venue and Language
You and Issuer further agree that the arbitration will be held in the English language in San José, Costa Rica, or, if you so elect, all proceedings can be conducted via videoconference, telephonically or via other remote electronic means.
(e) Costs and Fees
Filing costs and administrative fees shall be paid in accordance with the Cámara de Comercio de Costa Rica Rules; provided that the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, and out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the arbitration proceeding, in addition to any other relief it may be awarded.
(f) No Collective Arbitration
You and Issuer agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Rules, the arbitration of any Dispute shall proceed on an individual basis, and neither you nor Issuer may bring a claim as a part of a class, group, collective, coordinated, consolidated or mass arbitration (each, a "Collective Arbitration").
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a claim to resolve any Dispute against Issuer will be deemed a Collective Arbitration if:
- (i) two (2) or more similar claims for arbitration are filed concurrently by or on behalf of one or more claimants; and
- (ii) counsel for the claimants are the same, share fees or coordinate across the arbitrations.
"Concurrently" for purposes of this provision means that both arbitrations are pending (filed but not yet resolved) at the same time.
Class Waiver
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER YOU NOR ISSUER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO CONSOLIDATE, JOIN OR COORDINATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES, OR ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING AS A REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE, ANY AND ALL SUCH RIGHTS ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVED. Without limiting the foregoing, any challenge to the validity of this paragraph shall be determined exclusively by the arbitrator.
Small Claims
Notwithstanding your and Issuer's agreement to arbitrate Disputes, you and Issuer retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court.
No Jury Trial
To the extent applicable law permits, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Card Terms, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Card Terms or the applicable Rules, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this class waiver may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. If this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither party is entitled to arbitration.
If for any reason a claim or dispute proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each party knowingly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to these Card Terms.
Venue and Jurisdiction for Judicial Proceedings
Except as otherwise required by applicable law or provided in these Card Terms, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your Dispute, you and Issuer agree that any judicial proceeding may only be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Costa Rica. Both you and Issuer irrevocably consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there; provided that either party may bring any action to confirm an arbitral award in any court having jurisdiction.
Confidentiality
The existence of and all information regarding any Dispute will be held in strict confidence by the parties and will not be disclosed by either party except as reasonably necessary in connection with the conduct of the arbitration or the confirmation or enforcement of any arbitral award. Any such permitted disclosure will, to the maximum extent reasonably practicable, be made subject to obligations of confidentiality at least as stringent as the provisions of this paragraph.
If any disclosure of information regarding any Dispute is required under applicable law, the parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another to obtain protective orders or otherwise to preserve the confidentiality of such information.
Survival
This agreement to arbitrate shall survive the termination or expiration of these Card Terms. With the exception of the provisions of this agreement to arbitrate that prohibit Collective Arbitration, if a court decides that any part of this agreement to arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of this agreement to arbitrate shall nevertheless remain valid and in force.
In the event that a court finds the prohibition of Collective Arbitration to be invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this agreement to arbitrate shall be deemed void (but no provisions of these Card Terms unrelated to arbitration shall be void), and any remaining Dispute must be litigated in court pursuant to the preceding paragraph.
Indemnity
You will indemnify and defend each of NEXPAY and Issuer, and their affiliates, and their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors, and representatives (each an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all claims, litigation, investigations, proceedings, losses, damages, fines, penalties, liabilities, settlements, costs, fees, and expenses incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any person:
(i) arising out of, in connection with, related to, or as a result of, a breach by you or by any Company Administrator or Company User of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements contained in these Card Terms, the User Terms, any terms applicable to any Third Party Provider or any other agreements with NEXPAY that otherwise relate to the Services or the use of the NEXPAY Card;
(ii) for amounts owed by Company to third parties;
(iii) for acts or omissions of Company Administrators, Company Users, or other Company employees or agents;
(iv) for Company's use of the Services; or
(v) for disputes over charges between Company and merchants.
NEXPAY and Issuer may defend any claim subject to indemnification hereunder, using counsel of its choice, and you will pay or promptly reimburse Issuer for the reasonable fees of such counsel and all related costs and reasonable expenses.
If you are a user from a jurisdiction that does not allow certain indemnification obligations, you agree that the foregoing section titled "Indemnity" is intended to be as broad as permitted under the laws of such jurisdiction. If any portion of this section is held to be invalid under the laws of such jurisdiction, the invalidity of such portion will not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the applicable sections.
