FINAUX enables Users to trade with each other in trading pairs and use balances which are denominated notionally in Indian Rupees only for convenience in order to enable Users to calculate the value of the relevant Supported Cryptocurrency being traded (“FINAUX Pairs”). Any reference to Indian Rupees or INR on FINAUX should not be construed as a reference to Indian Rupees amounting to legal tender (otherwise referred to as ‘fiat currency’ or ‘real money’) unless specifically provided herein
Terms applicable to Indian Resident Users for FINAUX Pairs
In non-P2P transactions, Users resident in India (as defined under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999) add to their INR balance by depositing Indian Rupees from their registered bank account / payment instrument to FINAUX's or its partners’ bank account using regulated banking and payment channels, and can redeem their INR balance to their bank accounts / payment instrument by placing a withdrawal request to FINAUX, upon which request FINAUX will transfer the INR balance amount to the Users’ registered bank account / payment instrument, using regulated banking and payment channels, subject to Know Your Customer and other safeguards carried out in FINAUX’a sole discretion, and subject to withdrawal limits published on the website / mobile application from time to time. In this model, FINAUX merely acts as a duly appointed agent of the User to whom the payment is due, and does not operate a payment system. You hereby duly appoint FINAUX as your agent for this purpose.
Terms applicable to Non-Indian Resident Users for FINAUX Pairs
In all circumstances, Users not resident in India (as defined under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999) (“Foreign Users”) can use limited features of the Services. Foreign Users cannot in any circumstance receive or make payments in Indian Rupees or equivalents or any other fiat currency or equivalents (otherwise referred to as ‘real money’ or ‘fiat currency’). Foreign Users can only use the Services to trade between Supported Cryptocurrencies without any interface to fiat currency. Foreign Users are not entitled to redeem any INR balance with FINAUX for Indian Rupees (unlike Users resident in India who may withdraw their INR balance to their bank accounts) or any other fiat currency. The INR balance of a Foreign User is only denoted on the platform for convenience and can only be used by a Foreign User to further trade in Supported Cryptocurrencies. Foreign Users do not therefore carry out any transactions in fiat currency using the Services and merely hold Supported Cryptocurrencies in their FINAUX wallets and trade between Supported Cryptocurrencies.

Any such updated fees will apply prospectively to any trades or other transactions that take place following the effective date of such updated fees.

7.1 General This Agreement will continue to apply to you until terminated by either you or FINAUX.

We may decline to process any deposit or withdrawal without prior notice and may limit or suspend your use of one or more Services at any time, in our sole discretion. For example, we may, in our sole discretion, delay deposits or withdrawals if we believe the transaction is suspicious, may involve fraud or misconduct, violates applicable laws, or violates the terms of this Agreement. If you have a balance remaining in an Account which has been suspended, we may freeze such balance for so long as the Account is suspended. If the Account is terminated due to fraud, violation of law, or violation of this Agreement, FINAUX may, in its discretion, confiscate any balance remaining in the Account and deliver it to any applicable government, law enforcement, or other authorities where circumstances warrant.

10.1 Dispute Resolution Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with FINAUX and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall be settled by arbitration. In the case of disputes, controversies or claims involving FINAUX, you and FINAUX agree to resolve any claims relating to this Agreement (including any question regarding their existence, validity, termination, or any services or products provided and any representations made by us) through final and binding arbitration. You agree to first give us an opportunity to resolve any claims by contacting us on our website / mobile applications. If we are not able to resolve your claims within 60 days of receiving the notice, you may seek relief through arbitration as set forth below. Either you or FINAUX may submit a dispute (after having made good faith efforts to resolve such dispute) for final and binding resolution by arbitration under the arbitration rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”), which are deemed to be incorporated into these Terms by reference, read with the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
(b) Waiver of Jury Trial THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, as applicable, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and FINAUX in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND FINAUX WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
(c) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
(d) Confidentiality All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
(e) Severability If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
(f) Right to Waive Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
(g) Survival of Agreement This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with FINAUX.
(h) Emergency Equitable Relief Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a court of competent jurisdiction in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
(i) Claims Not Subject to Arbitration Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
10.2 Applicable Law The laws of India excluding its choice of law provisions, will govern these Terms and any dispute that arises between you and FINAUX.
10.3 Force Majeure FINAUX is not responsible for damages caused by delay or failure to perform undertakings under this Agreement when the delay or failure is due to fires; strikes; floods; power outages or failures; acts of God or the state’s enemies; lawful acts of public authorities; any and all market movements, shifts, or volatility; computer, server, or Internet malfunctions; security breaches or cyberattacks; criminal acts; delays or defaults caused by common carriers; acts or omissions of third parties; or, any other delays, defaults, failures or interruptions that cannot reasonably be foreseen or provided against. In the event of force majeure, FINAUX is excused from any and all performance obligations and this Agreement shall be fully and conclusively at an end.
10.4 Electronic CommunicationsThe communications between you and FINAUX use electronic means, whether you use the Site or send us emails, or whether FINAUX posts notices on the Site or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from FINAUX in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that FINAUX provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were be in a hardcopy writing. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.
10.5 Entire Agreement This Agreement, together with FINAUX’s Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Services. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation”. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Your relationship to FINAUX is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. This Agreement, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without FINAUX’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. FINAUX may freely assign this Agreement. The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall be binding upon assignees.
