11- Buying Cryptocurrency using your Transak Account

11.1 - How to buy Digital Currencies and Digital Assets  using Your Transak Account

To purchase Digital Assets and Digital Currencies  from Us by paying Fiat Currency to Us, you need to log in to your Transak Account and follow the steps as they appear on screen in order to place a Digital Asset Purchase order. For clarity, we will receive your fiat currency payment as a payee and not as a  payment services provider. Press "Buy Now" and follow the steps as prompted on screen. We will charge You a fee for each Purchase Order, and will let You know the exact amount when You submit Your request at which point You can choose to proceed or cancel the order. You can also find out more information about the fees We charge on the Fees page. Transak will transfer the purchased Digital Currency or Digital Asset to Your designated nominated wallet as soon as funds have been settled to Transak which in the case of a bank account or credit or debit card may take up to five business days.

11.2 - Payment Methods

You may be presented with one or more methods of payment to pay Us for a purchase of Digital Asset, for example, bank transfer, credit cards or debit cards (in this Agreement, we will call these methods "Payment Methods"). The number of Payment Methods made available to You will depend on a number of factors including where You live and Your verification status with us. Payment Methods are not part of Our Services, they are services provided by third parties for example, the card provider which issued You with your credit/debit card. We cannot guarantee the use of any particular Payment Method and may change or stop offering a Payment Method at any time without notice to You.

11.3 - Payment instrument must be in your name

Any payment instrument (for example, the credit card or debit card) You use to pay for a Purchase order with Your chosen Payment Method must be in Your name.

In the case of Digital Asset Sale order,  You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the payment details that You provide to Us. You must ensure that the wallet used to send the Digital Asset is owned by and in Your name. Once Transak has made payment of the Fiat Currency to Your nominated bank account, the payment cannot be refunded and Transak shall not be liable for any mistakes or errors on Your part.

11.4 - Chargebacks on your payment instrument

If you selected a Payment Method which gives You chargeback rights (for example in relation to Your credit card, You may ask Your card provider to reverse a transaction on Your card), You promise that You will only exercise this chargeback right if:

a. We have breached this Agreement; or
b. there was an unauthorised use of your payment instrument.

If We need to investigate or take any actions in connection with a chargeback raised by You, We may charge You for our costs in doing so.

11.5 - What happens after You have submitted Your Digital Asset  Purchase order

Once We have received Your Digital Asset  Purchase order, We will send You a confirmation by email. Each  Purchase order is given a unique transfer number and is shown in the transaction history on Your Transak Account. You should quote this transfer number when communicating with Us about a particular payment order. If there is no Active order for the payment received, We may Active an Expired OR a Cancelled order to complete the transaction.

11.6 - When is your payment order received

If Your payment order is received by Us after 5pm on a Business Day or not on a Business Day, Your payment order will be deemed received on the following Business Day.

11.7 - You need to pay us the full agreed purchase price for the Digital Asset  before we can process your order

We will only process Your Purchase order if We have received sufficient cleared funds from You. It is your responsibility to fund Your payment order in a timely manner. We cannot be responsible for the time it takes for the money to be sent to Us by Your bank or payment service provider.

11.8 - Verification checks may increase the time for processing your Digital Asset Purchase order

We carry out verification checks, and these checks may increase the time it takes to process your  Purchase order. We cannot be responsible for any delays as a result of carrying out those checks.

11.9 - Completion time of your Digital Asset  Purchase order

The estimated time it will take Us to process Your Purchase order is notified to You when You complete the setup of Your payment order. You may also find further information about the processing time in the FAQ section of our Website, please refer to the applicable currencies in Your payment order.

11.10 - Refusal of your Digital Asset  Purchase order

If We are unable to complete Your  Purchase order, We will let You know and, if possible, the reasons for the refusal and an explanation of how to correct any factual errors. However, We will not notify You if such notification would be unlawful. We will refund Your Fiat Currency payment to the payment account from which You sent it, as long as We are permitted to do so under applicable laws. 

11.11 - Placing orders for Digital Assets

You must carefully enter and review all of the order details prior to submitting an
offer to purchase or sell Digital Assets, including the quantity and offered price. 
Transak may present you with pricing for your order. If you accept the pricing 
displayed, you can then accept and submit the order. If you do not accept the 
pricing displayed, you can choose not to proceed with the order. Once you 
submit your order, you are bound to the terms of that order. You cannot cancel 
your order once Your payment account provider has executed the Fiat Currency 
payment to Us or You have successfully transferred cryptocurrency to the 
assigned wallet address.


Transactions in Digital Assets may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to
fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. Once you send 
Digital Assets to an address, you may lose access to your Digital Assets 
temporarily or indefinitely. For example, an address may have been entered 
incorrectly, or an address may belong to an entity that will not return your Digital
Assets. Digital Assets mistakenly sent to an address that we do not control may 
not be recoverable. Transak is not responsible or liable for erroneous, accidental,
or unauthorized Digital Asset transfers that you effectuate.


By initiating a purchase with your selected Payment Method, you authorize us 
and/or our applicable third-party service providers, to charge or debit your 
selected Payment Method for the total amount of the purchase, including without
limitation all applicable fees and taxes. In the event of any refund, chargeback, 
or other adjustment related to your Digital Assets purchase, you authorize us to 
credit or deduct the amount, as applicable, from your Payment Method.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Transak reserves the right to, in its 
sole discretion, suspend, delay, redirect, or cancel any transaction (including an 
order submitted by you and accepted by Transak) at any time and for any 
reason. For example, and without limitation, we may do so if we suspect any risk 
of fraud, crime, breach of this Agreement, or illicit activity. If your payment is not
successful, if your payment method has insufficient funds or if you reverse a 
payment made from funds in your bank account, you authorize Transak, in its 
sole discretion, to either cancel the transaction or to debit your other Payment 
Method(s) in any amount necessary to complete the transaction on its original terms. You are responsible for maintaining an adequate balance and/or sufficient credit limits in order to avoid overdraft, non-sufficient funds (NSF) or similar fees charged by your financial services provider. We reserve the right to refuse to process or to cancel or reverse any transaction in our sole discretion, even after funds have been debited from your Payment Method(s), if we suspect the transaction meets any criteria set forth in this Agreement. In such instances, Transak will reverse the transaction and we are under no obligation to allow you to reinstate a purchase or sale order at the same price or under the same terms 
as the cancelled transaction

11.12 - You must ensure the information you provide to us is correct

You must make sure that the information You provide when making a Digital Asset Purchase order is accurate. If We have processed Your order in accordance with the information You have provided to Us it will be considered correctly completed even if You have made a mistake.

11.13 - What happens if you provide us with incorrect information

If You provide incorrect information with Your Digital Asset Cryptocurrency Purchase or Sale order, We will not be responsible for any loss.

11.14 - Payments to Transak are payments to purchase Cryptocurrency

As such they should not be treated as 'cash advances' by Your card provider.  If Your card provider decides, as some have in the past, to treat payments to on/off ramps such as Transak as 'cash advances' that is a matter entirely between You and Your card provider.  We suggest you monitor charges on Your card to ensure this is not happening, and if it does to challenge your card provider and/or use an alternative card for Digital Asset  transactions.  In any event Transak is not liable for any decision of your card provider to act in this way.

12 - Exchange Rates

12.1 - Exchange rate

Transak uses a number of sources to determine the price at which it purchases/sells Digital Currencies and NFTs. For example, the last-traded price from a major exchange may be used (with a small spread applied, to account for the spread in the order book and slippage). Transak strives to provide You with competitive pricing and transparency. A breakdown of Our fees and the slippage of Our fees can be found here. By accepting our Terms  of Service, You understand that the buying and selling of digital assets carries an exchange rate risk where the Digital Assets can either appreciate or depreciate in value. Transak reserves the right to change rate providers at any time without notice to You. 

13 - Maintaining Your Transak Account

13.1 - Transaction history is displayed on Your Transak Account

All Your Order details are recorded in the order history section of Your Transak Account. You may access this information after You log in to Your Transak Account. We have allocated a reference number called order ID to each transaction, and You should quote this reference number when communicating with us about a particular order.

13.2 - Check Your Transak Account regularly

You must check Your Transak Account regularly and carefully and contact us immediately if you have not authorized a transaction or think We have made a payment incorrectly.

13.3 - Trading Risks and Regulatory Warnings

The use of the Transak platform and the Service may entail the following risks:

1. Digital Currencies and  Digital Assets are speculative investments and involve a substantial degree of personal risk for those who hold them. The value of a Digital Currency or Digital Asset can quickly increase or decrease at any time, and it may even fall to zero. This means there is the risk of complete loss of capital with no legal recourse. There can be no assurance that any Digital Currency, or other Digital Asset is or will be viable, liquid, or solvent. The purchase and sale of Digital Assets involves significant risk and can result in substantial losses to You and Your invested capital. You should not invest more than You can afford to lose and should ensure that You fully understand the risks involved. You should therefore carefully consider whether trading or holding Digital Assets is suitable, taking into consideration Your own financial situation and attitude to risk. When purchasing Cryptocurrencies and Digital Assets, You may not have access to legal remedy if something goes wrong.

Transak does not make any representations or recommendations regarding the advisability or otherwise of the purchase or sale of Cryptocurrencies or Digital Assets.

3. You agree and understand that the sale of NFTs via our website have been created and/or minted by third-party websites, individuals, or entities("Third-Party Creators").

4. Transak does not exercise control over the content, quality, value or authenticity of NFTs created by Third-Party Creators.

Notwithstanding indicators and messages that suggest verification, Transak makes no claims about the identity, legitimacy, or authenticity of NFTs. 

5. You understand that You may encounter NFTs that contain explicit, offensive, or inappropriate content, and You agree that Transak is not liable for such content.

The Associated Content may be removed from the NFT at any time and for any reason by third parties who control the Associated Content. Transak is not responsible for any losses due to any Associated Content being disconnected or otherwise amended.

10. NFTs exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained in the applicable blockchain network and/or distributed ledger.

We do not guarantee that we can effect the transfer of title or right in any NFTs or other digital assets, or that any associated payment will be successful.

13.4 - You accept the risks of purchasing and holding  Digital Assets through Our Services

You agree and accept the risks associated with purchasing and holding Digital Assets outlined in section 13.3, including any risks associated with fluctuations in the relevant exchange rates over time.

Transak is not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and does not offer securities services in the United States or to U.S. persons.

13.5 - Taxes

You are responsible for any taxes which may be applicable to payments You make or receive, and it is Your responsibility to collect, report and pay the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority.
