  1. Introduction. This Agreement contains the terms on which Exa Labs S.A.S. (“Exactly” or “we”) provides digital payment services (the “Services”) to you through the use of the Exa Card (the “Card”).

    Please read this Agreement in full before you start using the Services; it contains important information regarding the Services.

    By using the Services (including, for example, using the Card to transact), you confirm that you accept and agree to this Agreement (including any updates to this Agreement and the other documents referred to above). To use our Services, in addition to accepting (and complying with) the terms of this Agreement, you must have accepted (and comply with) the terms and conditions of the Exa App, and have completed the onboarding process, as provided below. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them therein.​

  2. The Card. If your application for the Card is approved, the Exactly Protocol will grant you access to a virtual payment card, which may be used either as a credit or debit card, as elected by you. As to the credit card, the line of credit will be given in USD for up to a maximum amount to be determined based on the collateral you provide and the results of the credit check conducted as part of your application process. In order to use such a credit line, you will receive a Card. You will also be able to use the Card as a debit one, where the amount that you are able to spend will be defined by the assets you have stored in your wallet.

  3. Issuer and Licenses. The Card will be issued by Cryptomate UAB, a Lithuanian entity registered with the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania and AML authorities to perform the activities hereunder(“CryptoMate”). Even though the Card is issued by CryptoMate, we will provide it to you and act as the Card program manager with respect to the Services, being Exactly authorized to provide the Services pursuant to a license granted under a certain agreement entered with CryptoMate.

  4. Process. To use our Services, you must complete the steps below:

a. Account Creation: you must download the Exa App from the Google Play Store or the App Store and create an account. After the account is correctly created, the Exactly team will provide you with a new crypto wallet address hosted by Alchemy by the Exa Wallet terms and conditions (the “Wallet”, the T&C are available to read in the Exa App help center). The Wallet is a self-custodial blockchain wallet that is owned and controlled by you through your private keys and is not controlled in any manner by Exactly.

b. Funding: Before applying for the Exa Card, you must fund your wallet with crypto assets. The amounts transferred will determine the amount you can spend when using your Card as debit and also to define the credit to be granted under the Exa Card and serve as collateral to secure payment of all purchases you make with your Exa Card when used as a credit card (the “Collateral”). At the same time, as your Wallet will be connected with the Exactly Protocol, the amounts deposited as collateral will grant you an interest rate in accordance with the terms of such protocol.

c. Application process: You must successfully complete our application process, including our KYC and compliance procedures, in accordance with these policies and the terms below.

  1. Eligibility: you must be at least 18 years old, don’t be a resident of any of the following countries: Russian Federation (Russia), Ukraine, Haiti, Lebanon, Mali, Nicaragua, Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of), Afghanistan, Belarus, Burundi, Central African Republic (the), Congo (the Democratic Republic of the), Cuba, Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Iraq, Korea (the Democratic People's Republic of), Liberia, Libya, Myanmar, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan (the), Syrian Arab Republic, Yemen, Zimbabwe, and have completed the onboarding process as provided herein.

  2. Verification: We are required by law to verify certain details about you. You cannot use our Services until we verify your identity and perform other checks as we may, at our discretion, deem appropriate to comply with applicable laws.

  3. The information you provide must be accurate: The information you provide to us must be accurate, complete, and truthful at all times. If your personal information changes, you must update the personal information we hold about you. We may require additional information from you from time to time, and you must cooperate by providing such information upon request.

  4. Electronic checks with third parties: We may use third parties to assist us in obtaining the relevant information required to help us verify your identity, perform the other checks referred to in Section 4(ii), and enable us to provide the Services to you (including to obtain the information requested under Section 4(iii) above). We may request such third parties to share such information with other associated organizations or carry out checks on you electronically as is necessary for providing the Services. When we perform electronic checks, we may disclose your personal data to fraud prevention and credit reference agencies, who may record that information. By applying for our Services, you agree to certain personal data about you being collected and shared by such third parties and/or agencies for this purpose. You have the right of access to the personal records held by such third parties and/or fraud prevention agencies. We will supply the names and addresses upon written request.

  5. You must comply with all laws applicable to you at all times, including during the time you are applying with us for Services and throughout the term of this Agreement.

  6. Acceptance of Terms. To use our Services, you must have accepted (and comply with) the Exa App Terms and have completed the onboarding process set out in these terms.

  7. We reserve the right to refuse to issue you a Card.

d. Issuance of card: once the application process is approved, you will be issued a virtual Card, which will be available through your Exa App account.

5. Card Usage. Using blockchain technology, the Card will be managed and used exclusively through your Exa App account. The Card can be used for online and in-store purchases worldwide at merchants who accept Visa payment cards as a form of payment for goods and services, allowing the user to pay such purchases later and even in more than one installment, subject to an interest rate. The Card can also be used as a debit card by the Users either for payments or for withdrawing money in FIAT as cashback in stores offering such service. Every time you use the Card, either as a payment method with a merchant or to withdraw cash, you will have the option to (i) use the funds deposited in your Wallet or (ii) take a loan from a decentralized pool of funds from the Exactly Protocol, up to the amount of credit granted to you, as follows:

  1. If you use the funds deposited in your Wallet as Collateral, the amounts will be instantaneously debited from your Wallet and used for the payment. In such a case, your debit card limit, credit card limit, and account health may be adjusted based on the remaining amounts in the Wallet.

  2. In case you take a loan, the Exa App will make available details of all transactions made with the Card and allow you to elect alternative repayment dates and payment plans based on the amount of the Collateral and your creditworthiness; in each case, the Exa App will simulate the applicable interests and fees for you to decide which is the most convenient alternative for you. If you promptly comply with your payment obligations during a relevant period, we may increase the limit of your line of credit at our sole discretion.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing setting and the installment setup must be configured on the Card screen via the Exa App, before any purchase. The setting used for the last transaction will remain the default payment method for subsequent purchases unless changed by the User.

6. Refunds. You may claim a refund for a transaction you have successfully disputed by Section 10 below; however, no interest accrued under a loan taken will ever be refundable. If you receive a refund, it will be paid in USDC to your wallet associated with the Exa App.

7. Collateral. The Collateral will serve as a guarantee to secure all payments made by you with the Card, if set as a credit one, and will be kept deposited in a pool of funds controlled by the Exactly Protocol’s smart contract, which the following rules will govern:

  1. If you fail to comply with your payment obligations on the due date, and such failure is not remediated after 7 days of receiving a default notice via the Exa App, the Exactly Protocol will allocate such funds to pay any outstanding amounts under your credit line.

  2. Suppose your account balance is zero and there are no outstanding payments under your Card. In that case, you will be entitled to withdraw the amounts deposited as Collateral, either totally or partially. In the event of a partial withdrawal, your credit card limit and debit card limit will be adjusted accordingly.

8.Authorization of Transactions

a. To authorize a payment using the Card, you must use the Card or the Card number. You may need to take additional steps to authorize a transaction when you are paying; for example, you may need to enter details on a merchant’s online payment page, tap your Card at the point of sale in-store, or enter your PIN on the keypad. Depending on the circumstances, you may be required to undergo some further security checks at the time, such as providing biometric data (e.g., a fingerprint).

b. If the Card, card number and PIN, biometric data, or other security details have been used, we will assume you have authorized the transaction. You must, therefore, tell us immediately if you do not recognize a transaction that has been charged and is listed as a transaction in the Exa App's details.

c. There are situations where we may be unable to authorize a transaction or refuse to authorize it and/or where we may suspend your use of your Card. These situations may include but not be limited to the following cases:

  1. if legal or regulatory requirements prevent us from making the payment or mean that we need to carry out further checks;

  2. if you have infringed the Exa App Terms or the Card Terms terminate for whatever reason:

  3. if you have infringed this Agreement in a way that we reasonably believe justifies our refusing or delaying your payment;

  4. if we believe that processing your transaction would breach this Agreement or that you have not provided all the information, we need to make the payment properly;

  5. if the amount is over or would take you over, any limit that applies to your Card;

  6. the funding transaction is declined for any reason;

  7. if a bankruptcy order is made against you or you have entered into an individual voluntary arrangement with your creditors;

  8. if, even after doing everything reasonably possible, we will not be able to make the payment on time;

  9. if a third party prevents us from making the payment (for example, a card scheme);

  10. if you owe us money;

  11. if we have asked you for important information we reasonably need and you have not given us that information; or

  12. if we have suspended your account or your access to the Exa App has been suspended.

9. Repayment.

  1. Through your Exa App account, you will be notified of your due dates and applicable interests. You will have available an electronic statement including details of all transactions made with the card, due dates, applicable interests, payment instructions, etc. (the “Card Statement”). Payments shall be made in [USDC] or with your Collateral upon your prior instruction via the Exa App or default under section 7.A. above. In case of late or partial payment, the outstanding balance will accrue a punitive interest at a rate indicated in the Card Statement.

  2. You will be allowed to make advance payments. In such a case, the amounts will be allocated without accruing any interest in your favor.

10. Disputed Charges.

  1. Suppose you do not agree with any of the charges appearing in the Card Statement or your Exa App account. In that case, you may request the corresponding clarification, claim, or consultation within 30 calendar days after such charges were made available, in which case we will credit your account with the disputed amount within a term of 90 days from your request (if the request, was indeed a fraud or error), which may be submitted either through the Exa App, by e-mail or any other means with which you can reliably prove receipt of your dispute. Upon submission of such request, you will be entitled not to make payment of the disputed amount until the dispute is resolved by the procedure established in this Clause.

  2. Upon receipt of your request, we will have at least 90 days to investigate it and decide whether this will be accepted or rejected, providing all the relevant supporting documents and information. In case of acceptance, such disputed charges will be written off from your outstanding balance. If your request is rejected, we will reverse the corresponding charge by crediting such amounts as loaned under your line of credit, without charging interest and other accessories generated by the lack of payment made in terms of the provisions of this clause.

  3. We shall not be held liable for any errors, delays, or failures in the processing of transactions that are beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to errors caused by third-party payment processors or service providers. In the event that a payment is erroneously debited from your account due to such an error, and we detect the error or are notified in accordance with the dispute procedure outlined in these terms, we may, at our sole discretion, resolve the claim by issuing a prompt refund without following the full dispute process set forth herein. Such a resolution shall not constitute an admission of liability, and we shall have no further liability for any loss or damages, including indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, arising from such payment processing errors or the time taken to resolve them.

11. Expiration Date. You may only use your card until the expiration date indicated on the front of your virtual card. We will provide you with a new Card upon expiration of your Card; we may ask you to confirm some details before our sending you a new Card.
