- That you have accepted you are legally bound by these Terms of Use;
- If you are an individual, that you are at least 18 years of age;
- If you are a legal entity or acting in the name of a legal entity, that you are duly authorised to act on behalf and in the name of the legal entity, and bind the latter validly;

How We Verify Your Account
The creation and use of your Account are subject to verifications, as required by statutory and regulatory obligations incumbent on us. You agree to provide us with the information we request for the purposes of identity verification, compliance with know-your-customer rules, as well as detection of money laundering, terrorism financing, fraud or any other financial crime. The requested information may include Personal Data (please refer to our Privacy Policy). By providing us with the information we request, you confirm that it is true and accurate, and agree to inform us in case of change concerning such information. Your Account will be blocked until we are satisfied with the information you have provided and determine in our sole discretion that it is sufficient to validate your Account. In the meantime, you will not be allowed to terminate your Account or request the deletion of the Personal Data processed in the course of verification operations.
We expressly reserve the right to cancel and/or terminate Accounts that have not been verified by the Member despite efforts made in good faith by us to contact you to obtain such verification (“Unverified Accounts”). All Unverified Accounts which have been inactive for a period of 6 months or more are further subject to transfer to a third-party escrow (the “Unverified Escrow”), and will no longer be maintained or under our legal responsibility. The administrator/trustee of the Unverified Escrow shall make any and all additional reasonable efforts required by law to determine and contact each Unverified Account owner and, after suitable effort and time has been expended, we may be required to convert the residual Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets into fiat and send it to a national authority responsible for the safekeeping of such funds
Funding Your Account
If you have chosen to fund your Account via wire deposits, funds from a wire deposit will be made available for trading on your Account as soon as they are settled. Please note that the deposit settlement times are subject to bank holidays, the processes of partner banks and the processes of your bank. In addition to that, deposit settlement times may be delayed because of any technical issues.
We do not accept fiat currency deposits from third-party bank accounts. The name on your linked bank account must match the name verified on your MetaWallet Account. If a wire transfer is received from a third-party bank account, we will reject and return the wire immediately.
Your Account, once funded, does not and will not earn interest.
Please note that the deposit settlement times are subject to bank holidays, the processes of partner banks and the processes of your bank. In addition to that, deposit settlement times may be delayed because of any technical issues.
We reserve the right to increase or decrease your daily, monthly and overall limits, or make them temporarily or permanently unavailable. This may be done without notice and at our sole discretion.
Refund Policy
All sales and purchases of Virtual Assets and other Digital Assets done with any payment method are final. We do not accept any returns or provide refunds for your purchase of Virtual Assets or any other Digital Assets from MetaWallet, except for the cases provided in these Terms of Use.
In the event the exchange of fiat currency to Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets is not processed because of any technical issues or high price volatility during the card purchase procedure, MetaWallet will credit the Member’s account with fiat currency.
Maintaining Your Account
Keep Your Information Up-to-Date
We are vigilant in maintaining the security of our Site and the Services. By registering with us, you agree to provide MetaWallet with current, accurate and complete information about yourself, including, for legal entities, information on directors, key personnel and beneficial owners, as well as company resolution to open the Account, as prompted by the registration process, and to keep such information updated. If you are an individual, you further agree that you will not use any Account other than your own or access the Account of any other Member at any time or assist others in obtaining unauthorised access.
The creation or use of Accounts without obtaining our prior express permission will result in the immediate suspension of all said Accounts, as well as all pending purchase/sale offers. Any attempt to do so or to assist others (Members or otherwise), or the distribution of instructions, software or tools for that purpose, will result in the Accounts of such Members being terminated. Termination is not the exclusive remedy for such a violation, and we may elect to take further action against you.
Maintain the Confidentiality of Your Account Information
You are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account information, including your password, safeguarding your own Virtual Assets and Digital Assets, and all activity including Transactions that are posted to your Account (including all Instructions to MetaWallet). Any actions on the Site, transactions, orders, Instructions and operations initiated from your Account or using your password are (1) considered to have been made by you and (2) irrevocable once validated using your password or made through your Account. If there is suspicious activity related to your Account, we may, but are not obligated to, request additional information from you, including authenticating documents, and freeze any transactions pending our review. You are obligated to comply with these security requests or accept the termination of your Account. You are required to notify MetaWallet immediately of any unauthorised use of your Account or password, or any other breach of security, using our contact form. Any Member who violates these rules may be terminated, and thereafter held liable for losses incurred by MetaWallet or any user of the Site and Services.
You acknowledge that you will only credit your MetaWallet Account from a bank account that is in your own name and that you will instruct payments from your MetaWallet Account only to a bank account that is in your own name.
We reserve the right to cancel transfers which are made by or sent to third parties.
Keep Your Virtual and Digital Assets Safe
MetaWallet’s role is limited to providing you with a platform via the Services under which we act solely as a service provider, as your agent and in accordance with your Instructions for the management and transfer of Virtual Assets and other Digital Assets.
In order for us to manage the Site, provide the Services and create a direct relationship between you and the third-party custodian(s) to hold the relevant Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets as custodian on your behalf, you appoint MetaWallet as your agent with a perpetual and irrevocable (other than in the event of Account termination) agency authority to act as your agent to:
- Create a direct legal-custodial relationship between you and a third-party custodian(s) for the custody of your Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets, as well as appointing authorised persons within MetaWallet to instruct such third-party custodian(s) on your behalf;
- Access and/or transfer Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets as required for the operation of the Site and provision of the Services, including:
- Storing and keeping confidential private keys in respect of Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets;
- Transferring cryptocurrencies to third-party custodian(s) (who are entitled in turn to appoint sub-custodians and provide the custodian services to you through such sub-custodians or other nominees or agents); and
- Moving cryptocurrencies between hot and cold wallets held by these custodian(s) to allow sufficient hot wallet liquidity to support trades on the Site whilst at the same time providing the additional security of cold wallet storage;
- Share your information with third-party custodian-service provider(s) so that they can be engaged to provide custodian services to you (see below);
- Transfer Virtual Assets and Digital Assets to a wallet or to other users of such Virtual Assets and Digital Assets outside the Site;
- Undertake the following events that act, or could act as restrictions, or impact your rights:
- Freezing of Ripple accounts in accordance with Ripple Labs policy;
- Termination of our relationship with you and/or your Account;
- Suspension of our relationship with you and/or your Account;
- Prohibiting wash trading and other activities;
- Requiring minimum trade sizes;
- Blocking Accounts in certain circumstances;
- Applying service downtime and unavailability restrictions;
- Complying with enforcement-agency orders or regulatory actions;
- Offsetting any outstanding obligation you have to MetaWallet, which may include the sale of any Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets in order to cover the outstanding obligation you have; and
- Otherwise act only on your instructions in respect of any Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets, including in respect of:
- Any buying or selling of Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets;
- The accessing or transferring of Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets between wallets; and/or
- Any other purpose or action as instructed by you.
By agreeing to these Terms of Use you acknowledge and agree that in doing so, you instruct us on an irrevocable ongoing basis to undertake all of the above-mentioned actions on your behalf. You cannot revoke this ongoing Instruction by closing your Account, in which case it will lapse only when your Account is closed.
As a result of this limited agency relationship, we do not, and you agree that we do not, have or acquire any rights, title or interest in any Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets that are held on your behalf by the third-party custodian(s).
We are not an intermediary, do not acquire any rights, title or interest in, and do not assume and have no rights or control over any Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets or any other Member assets other than in respect of actions taken in accordance with our agency authority and your Instructions. As a result, we will not transfer or sell any Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets other than in accordance with your Instructions (which includes any instructions mandated by law, regulatory authority or enforcement agencies).
Closing Your Account
You may close your Account at any time.
You may terminate this agreement with MetaWalletand close your Account at any time by contacting us here, following settlement of any pending Transactions.
We may close or suspend or freeze your Account on notice.
We may, by giving notice, at our sole discretion:
- Limit, suspend or terminate your access to the Service, the Site and/or to your Account;
- Prohibit access to the Site and its content, services and tools;
- Delay or remove hosted content; and
- Take technical and legal steps to keep Members off the Site if we suspect that they are creating problems or possible legal liabilities, infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties, or acting inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms.
Additionally, we may, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, suspend or terminate Accounts of Members for any reason, including without limitation:
- Attempts to gain unauthorised access to the Site or another Member’s account or providing assistance to others attempting to do so;
- Overcoming software security features limiting use of or protecting any content;
- Usage of the Service to perform illegal activities such as money laundering, illegal gambling operations, financing terrorism, or other criminal activities;
- Violations of these Terms of Use;
- A failure to pay or a fraudulent payment for Transactions;
- Unexpected operational difficulties; or
- Upon the request of law enforcement or other government agencies.
The suspension or escrow of an Account shall not affect the payment of Fees due for past Transactions.
Upon termination or suspension, you shall send details of a valid bank account to allow for the transfer of any currencies credited to their account. This bank account must be held by you. Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets may be transferred to a valid bank account only after conversion into a fiat currency. We shall transfer the currencies as soon as possible following your request and within the time frames we specified.
We will arrange to send you the credit balance of your Account; however, in certain circumstances a number of intermediaries may be involved in an international payment and these or the beneficiary bank may deduct charges. We will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that such charges are disclosed to you prior to sending your payment; however, where they cannot be avoided, you acknowledge that these charges cannot always be calculated in advance, and that you agree to be responsible for such charges.
Upon Account closure, any amount less than 25 USD/EUR in value will not be returned.
We reserve the right to not convert Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets into fiat and to return them to a Wallet that belongs to the Member.
We similarly reserve the right to freeze Ripple accounts in accordance with the Ripple Labs policy, which took effect on 15 September 2014. Please see the explanation provided by Ripple Labs below:
The freeze protocol extension gives gateways the ability to 1) globally freeze all their issued funds or 2) freeze funds issued to a specific user. Frozen funds may only be sent back to the issuing gateway. The global freeze feature allows a gateway to freeze all balances it issues. The gateway may still issue payments. Accounts holding frozen balances may return the funds to the gateway. This feature is useful for migrating users from one account to another and to safeguard users in the event that the gateway account is compromised. The individual freeze is primarily intended for compliance with regulatory requirements, which may vary from one jurisdiction to another. It also allows gateways to freeze individual accounts issuances in order to investigate suspicious activity. These features allow gateways to better operate in compliance with laws and regulations.
For the avoidance of doubt, any action taken by MetaWallet to suspend, delay, cancel or freeze any instructions and/or to suspend your Account will not affect your rights, title or interest in respect of your Virtual Assets and other Digital Assets which are held by a third-party custodian(s) on your behalf, but may affect MetaWallet’s ability to execute your Instructions, which you hereby acknowledge and agree.
Trading with MetaWallet
Risks
The trading of goods and products, real or virtual, as well as virtual currencies involves significant risk. Prices can and do fluctuate on any given day. Such price fluctuations may increase or decrease the value of your assets at any given moment. Any currency – virtual or not – may be subject to large swings in value and may even become worthless. There is an inherent risk that losses will occur as a result of buying, selling or trading anything on a market.
Virtual Asset and Digital Asset trading also has special risks not generally shared with official currencies, goods or commodities in a market. Unlike most currencies, which are backed by governments or other legal entities, or by commodities such as gold or silver, Virtual Assets and Digital Assets are a unique type of asset, backed by technology and trust. There is no central bank that can issue more cryptocurrency or take corrective measures to protect the value of Virtual Assets and Digital Assets in a crisis.
Instead, Virtual Assets and Digital Assets are an as-yet autonomous and largely unregulated global system of cryptocurrency firms and individuals. Traders put their trust in a digital, decentralised and partially anonymous system that relies on peer-to-peer networking and cryptography to maintain its integrity.
The trading of Virtual Assets and Digital Assets is often susceptible to irrational (or rational) bubbles or loss of confidence, which could collapse demand relative to supply. For example, confidence in Virtual Assets and Digital Assets might collapse because of unexpected changes imposed by software developers or others, a government crackdown, the creation of superior competing alternative currencies, or a deflationary or inflationary spiral. Confidence might also collapse because of technical problems: if the anonymity of the system is compromised, if money is lost or stolen, or if hackers or governments are able to prevent any transactions from settling.
There may be additional risks that we have not foreseen or identified in our Terms of Use.
You should carefully assess whether your financial situation and tolerance for risk is suitable for buying, selling or trading Virtual Assets or Digital Assets.
We use our banking providers in order to facilitate the receipt of fiat currency from Members and payments to other Members. Our banking providers DO NOT transfer, exchange or provide any services in connection with Virtual Assets or Digital Assets. Your fiat currency will be held in a bank account in the name of MetaWallet together with other Members' fiat currency. Where possible in a relevant jurisdiction which recognises the concept of a client account, we will notify the relevant banking provider that the bank account is a client account in which we hold fiat currency on behalf of Members. You will, in any event, remain the beneficial owner of the fiat currency that we hold on your behalf. We will maintain detailed records of all fiat currency held on behalf of Members. Whilst MetaWalletuses reasonable care in the appointment of its banking providers, in the event of a banking provider becoming insolvent or entering into an insolvency process in a relevant jurisdiction, MetaWallet may have only an unsecured claim against the banking provider, and Members’ fiat currency balances may be at risk subject to any protections provided at law in the relevant jurisdiction.
We engage with third-party custodians in order to hold Virtual Assets and Digital Assets on your behalf. Your Virtual Assets and Digital Assets will be held on your behalf in a wallet in the name of MetaWallet together with other Members’ Virtual Assets and/or Digital Assets. They may also from time to time be held in the wallet together with MetaWallet’s Virtual Assets and/or Digital Assets which reflect MetaWallet’s fees, but which are recorded on MetaWallet’s ledger as belonging toMetaWallet, and which you instruct MetaWallet to collect by withdrawing them from the wallet. We will maintain detailed records of all Virtual Assets and Digital Assets which Members hold with third-party custodians appointed by us.
As set out above, MetaWallet will act only on your Instructions in respect of Virtual Assets and Digital Assets, and does not otherwise acquire any right, title or interest in them. Whilst MetaWallet uses reasonable care in the appointment of third-party custodians, in the event of a third-party custodian becoming insolvent or entering into an insolvency process in a relevant jurisdiction, you may have only an unsecured claim against the third-party custodian, and Members' Virtual Assets or Digital Assets may be at risk subject to any protections provided at law in the relevant jurisdiction.
Risks related to Fraud and Scams.
Before you engage in using our Services and by confirming these Terms of Use, you agree and acknowledge that:
- MetaWallet will not be responsible for any loss or damage suffered by you, due to any illicit or fraudulent activity of third parties - you are solely responsible for your behavior and usage of your Account;
- MetaWallet does not promote or operate giveaways - official promotions and referral programs are only communicated through MetaWallet-owned channels, e.g. the Site;
- MetaWallet only communicates with you through the @metawallet.plus address;
- MetaWallet will never call you unexpectedly and without prior notice, regardless of cause or reason;
- MetaWallet will never ask you to disclose any of your sensitive authentication credentials, regardless of cause or reason, and will never demand remote access to your device or advise you to change your security settings;
- Your Account credentials should be solely used by you and you shall not disclose your login credentials to any third person or entity. You will ensure that the email and phone number which you used for registering a MetaWallet Account will be exclusively operated and kept in private by you;
- You will set the 2-factor authentication solely on the devices which are possessed and controlled exclusively by you and you will not permit anybody to access or use the devices you use for the 2-factor authentication;
- Any attempt of providing instructions to any person (Members or third party), or distribution of instructions, software or tools, related to onboarding process, operating of the Account and security measures, regardless of purpose, may result in the Accounts of both the defaulting and affected Members being terminated, at the sole discretion of MetaWallet.
Acceptable Use of Our Services
Wash Trading
We do not allow you to cross trade, either alone or in collusion with others or to place an order, which would result in a self-execution—i.e., where the same trader or group of traders would act as both the maker and taker for the trade.
If two orders of opposing sides would result in a crossed trade, both orders are subject to specific measures, ranging from scrutiny, cancellation, suspension or prohibition to trade on the Site. If two orders of the same quantity would result in self-execution, both orders are subject to specific measures, ranging from scrutiny, cancellation, suspension or prohibition to trade on the Site.
Market Manipulation
You are prohibited from engaging or attempting to engage in market manipulation. This prohibition applies to any kind of activity that results in or has the purpose of:
- Artificially controlling or manipulating the price or trading volume of any of the virtual currencies listed on the Site; and
- Manipulating of a benchmark, including, but not limited to, the transmission of false or misleading inputs, or any other action that manipulates the calculation of a benchmark.
Market manipulation will trigger specific measures, ranging from scrutiny, cancellation of orders, suspension or prohibition to trade on the Site and disclosure to third parties including full disclosure to competent authorities.
We reserve the right to suspend, delay or cancel an Instruction or series of Instructions issued by a Member or colluding Members which if executed would result in a price swing of 5% or more of the value of a cryptocurrency available on the Site.
You will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed, or that might reasonably be expected, to cause or result in destabilization or manipulation of the price of Virtual Assets or Digital Assets, which are available on the Site.

You are fully responsible for any mistakes, errors or defects which may arise in the course of any transaction that leads to partial or complete loss of your Digital Assets and/or Virtual Assets. MetaWallet shall not be liable for any damages resulting from any actions previously described. MetaWallet shall in no case be liable for any loss, including, but not limited to, transfers between addresses, transactions, deposits or withdrawals resulting from your improper actions or activities, or erroneous transactions, deposits or withdrawals resulting in your Digital Assets and/or Virtual Assets being lost. MetaWalletshall not compensate you for any losses resulting from such actions or activities.
MetaWallet may provide, in certain circumstances, an investigation and possible recovery of the lost Digital Assets and/or Virtual Assets as a payable service. Therefore, MetaWallet may, upon the request of a Member, utilize its best efforts to attempt to return misdirected Digital Assets and/or Virtual Assets to the Member. Requests for transaction recovery shall be sent to our contact form. After receiving the transaction recovery request, MetaWallet will make a preliminary assessment for each transaction and reserves the right to refuse the recovery of a particular transaction.
MetaWallet will charge an investigation fee for any such investigation. The fee shall amount to 10% of the value of lost Digital Assets and/or Virtual Assets, but in no case less than 100.00 USD/EUR. The fee will be charged and shall be paid by the Member in Digital Assets or Virtual Assets which are subject to the transaction recovery. MetaWallet may investigate transactions that occurred not more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the request for the recovery of Digital Assets and/or Virtual Assets. MetaWallet will not attempt to recover transactions with the value below 100.00 USD/EUR. Due to the specifics and case-by-case nature, MetaWalletdoes not, in any way, guarantee success and shall not be liable if the investigation is ineffective or unsuccessful, nor can MetaWallet provide the exact timing for such investigations, but will strive to provide feedback within a reasonable time.
