Soorbit Inc. TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective Date: February 19, 2023

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, AS WELL AS CONDITIONS, LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS THAT MIGHT APPLY TO YOU. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

 

These Terms of Service and any amendments and restatements hereof (the “Agreement”) form a legal agreement covering the provision of services from Soorbit to you, including offering a marketplace to enable buyers and sellers of “Digital Assets” (such term to be broadly understood to include digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Tether, and others, supported by a Soorbit wallet) to engage in transactions with each other (the “Marketplace”), offering hosted digital wallet services, holding and releasing Digital Assets as instructed upon completion of a purchase of Digital Assets and any other services described in this Agreement (collectively the “Services” and individually, a “Service”) provided by Soorbit Inc. and all of its affiliates, including but not limited to Soorbit  Inc.(collectively, “Soorbit” or “we” or “us” or the “company”) to you as an individual (also referred to as a “user” or “you”). Soorbit.com and its related Services are owned and operated by Soorbit. Your use of the Services will be governed by this Agreement, along with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and E-Sign Consent.

By signing up to use an account through soorbit.com, or any associated websites, APIs, or mobile applications, including any URLs operated by Soorbit (collectively the “Soorbit Website” or the “Website”), you agree that you have carefully and thoroughly read, understand, and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement including our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and E-Sign Consent.

THE VALUE OF DIGITAL ASSETS CAN GO UP OR DOWN AND THERE CAN BE A SUBSTANTIAL RISK THAT YOU LOSE MONEY BUYING, SELLING, HOLDING, OR INVESTING IN DIGITAL ASSETS. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER TRADING OR HOLDING DIGITAL ASSETS IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.

About Soorbit and its Services

Soorbit is a leading peer-to-peer marketplace to facilitate the purchase and sale of Digital Assets with sellers accepting more than 50 payment methods in exchange for their Digital Assets. Payment methods are negotiated and exchanged on a peer-to-peer basis between the buyers in the Marketplace (“Buyers”) and sellers in the Marketplace (“Sellers”). Our users agree upon which payment methods to use to complete a transaction and are fully responsible and liable for using such payment methods in a lawful manner. SOORBIT DOES NOT ACT AS A PAYMENT PROCESSOR. ALL LIABILITY FOR SENDING AND RECEIVING PAYMENT AND CONFIRMING THE VALIDITY OF THE TRANSACTIONS LIE BETWEEN THE BUYER AND SELLER. The Digital Assets we lock are released back to the Seller if the Buyer chooses to cancel the transaction. The Seller may not cancel the transaction at any point. The Seller only has the option to unlock the Digital Assets and release it to the Buyer. This is for the security protection for the Buyer. Should a Seller need to cancel the transaction due to a Buyer not following the terms of the transaction, they must start a dispute and provide a reason for doing so as further described in Section 7 of this Agreement. Transactions on our Website are conducted between the Buyers and Sellers. Accordingly, Soorbit is not a party to any transaction.

The hosted digital currency wallet service provided by Soorbit is a secure method of storing, sending, and receiving digital currency. Soorbit does not store or custody any Digital Assets. Digital Assets are always stored on its respective networks or blockchains. All digital currency transactions occur within the digital currency network, not on Soorbit. There are no guarantees that the transaction will process on the digital currency network. Soorbit reserves the right to refuse to process any transaction if required by law or if we deem the transactions to be against our terms and conditions in this Agreement. You hereby accept and acknowledge that you take full responsibility for all activities that occur under your wallet and accept all risks of any authorized or unauthorized access to your wallet, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

6.   TRANSACTIONS ON SOORBIT’S MARKETPLACE

The Website allows users to solicit offers to buy or sell Digital Assets.When a user initiates a transaction for the purchase or sale of Digital Assets, the transaction is consummated pursuant to this Agreement and to the additional terms, if any, detailed by the user or the user’s counterparty.

The following general terms apply to each transaction described below:

 

6.1.        Buying Digital Assets via soliciting an offer.

When purchasing Digital Assets on the Soorbit Marketplace:

1.    There are no fees for Soorbit Escrow as part of a transaction that are payable by Buyers on our Marketplace.

2.    Offers from Soorbit counterparties have their own terms and conditions and each offer will vary in exchange rate, speed of exchange, and other terms and conditions imposed by a Seller. By accepting a Seller’s offer you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of that offer. The terms and conditions specified by the Seller are valid in all cases except when they contradict or violate this Agreement, are illegal, are unreasonable or otherwise difficult to comply with (as determined in Soorbit’s sole and absolute discretion), or if both users of the transaction consent to alter the terms and conditions of such offer. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CAREFULLY READ THE SELLER’S OFFER TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND FOLLOW THEM EXACTLY. IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE OFFER TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOUR PAYMENT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. NEVER SUBMIT PAYMENT UNLESS YOU HAVE FOLLOWED ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS LISTED IN THE OFFER. IF YOU SUBMIT PAYMENT WITHOUT FOLLOWING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, SOORBIT CANNOT ASSIST YOU IN A DISPUTE PROCESS TO RECOVER YOUR PAYMENT.

3.    Payment verification and providing instruction to unlock Digital Assets from Soorbit Escrow are the sole obligations of the Seller and not that of Soorbit. If the Seller does not release the Digital Assets to you upon proper completion of the Seller’s terms and conditions, promptly report the issue via the designated dispute button within the particular transaction chat. Soorbit support will review and settle the dispute. This dispute resolution process is further described below in “Section 7 - Disputing Transactions Via Soorbit’s Dispute Resolution Process.” If you do not follow this dispute resolution process, Soorbit will be unable to assist you with this matter.

6.2.           Selling Digital Assets

                    When selling Digital Assets on the Soorbit  Marketplace:

1.    Sellers must verify and process the payment in a reasonable amount of time, and within a certain amount of time as specified in the offer terms. Once the Buyer has submitted payment to you in accordance with the offer terms, it is your sole duty and responsibility to promptly verify and process the payment and then unlock the Digital Assets from Soorbit Escrow and release it to the Buyer. If you do not follow the instructions on the offer, you may not be entitled to a return of your locked Digital Assets.

2.    As a Seller you accept all risks and liabilities for any violation of this Agreement incurred through the sale of Digital Assets. All taxes to be paid are your responsibility. Soorbit charges a fee to you as the Seller of Digital Assets for locking Digital Assets in Soorbit Escrow subject to a sale. Unless determined otherwise in Soorbit’s sole and absolute discretion, Soorbit shall not reimburse any losses to the Seller whether due to a violation of this Agreement, fraud or otherwise and our fee will not be refunded under any circumstances.

3.    Any payment received should be fully processed and confirmed as received by you before unlocking the Digital Assets from Soorbit Escrow. Soorbit is not responsible for your loss if you prematurely unlock Digital Assets before payment has been properly verified and received by you. You must be attentive and responsive to your Buyer. You should deactivate any inactive offers.

4.    Any advertisement of your own website in any section of Soorbit’s Marketplace (such as your bio, offer terms or transaction chat) that would facilitate buying or selling Digital Assets outside of Soorbit’s Services is strictly prohibited. In limited instances, it is permissible to share your website that is created solely for the Seller to receive payment in order to complete the transaction (i.e. trusted third party debit/credit card processing) in the transaction instructions; provided that the use of such external websites are made clear in the offer terms and such websites may not contain any other advertisements or your contact information

These reports are confidential, but we may use them in connection with a dispute as described in Section 7.

6.11.      Transaction History. You may view your transaction history through your Account. You agree that the failure of the Services to provide such confirmation shall not prejudice or invalidate the terms of such transaction.

6.12.      Merchant Goods. Soorbit is not responsible for any goods or services that you may purchase from an Authorized Merchant using your account or the Soorbit product. If you have a dispute with any Authorized Merchant, you should resolve the dispute directly with that Authorized Merchant.

7.   DISPUTING TRANSACTIONS VIA SOORBIT’S DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS

7.1.        Disputing Transactions. In most cases, the easiest way to settle a dispute is for Buyers and Sellers to communicate, work together to figure out what happened, and come to an agreeable solution. When a Buyer and a Seller cannot come to an agreeable solution, Soorbit’s support team (“Soorbit Support”) can help. Either party can initiate the dispute resolution process (“disputed transaction” or “dispute”) with respect to a transaction. Disputes can only be initiated on transactions that are marked as fully paid by the Buyer. Transactions that are not marked as fully paid by the Buyer, cancelled by the Buyer, automatically cancelled due to expiration of the timeframe set forth in the offer, already disputed and resolved or where the Seller has released the Digital Assets to the Buyer generally cannot be disputed, reversed, or altered.

7.2.        Dispute Resolution Process. Below are the steps Soorbit Support takes in the event of a dispute.

1.    Initiation

You can initiate a dispute by logging into your Soorbit Account, opening the transaction you would like to dispute and selecting the “dispute” button. The “dispute” button will only appear active if the transaction has been marked as fully paid by the Buyer. Once you initiate a dispute, you will select the type of dispute from the options presented and describe the issue giving rise to your dispute.

2.    Notification

Once a dispute has been submitted, Soorbit Support will provide the other party with notification by email and by sending a message through the transaction chat feature available to Buyers and Sellers in the Marketplace alerting such party that a dispute has been initiated. If one of your transactions is being disputed, Soorbit Support will tell you which transaction is being disputed and why the transaction is being disputed.

3.    Response

Review the dispute and provide Soorbit Support with an explanation of what happened. Include any evidence you have to support your explanation, such as proof of payment, proof of ownership or proof that you have or have not received payment.

4.    Soorbit Review

Disputed transactions will be investigated by Soorbit Support and a decision will be made based upon evidence provided by both parties. Soorbit Support resolves disputes by evaluating various factors as described below in Section 7.

7.3.        Dispute Review. During a dispute review, Soorbit Support may give you instructions that you are required to follow. The instructions given to you may require you to provide additional evidence, such as additional ID verification, proof of payment, any photo, audio, or video evidence, or any other documents deemed relevant by Soorbit and may require you to provide such evidence within a specified timeframe. Failure to follow the instructions may lead to the dispute being resolved against you. Soorbit Support will typically provide notice of its decision via the transaction chat feature in the Marketplace within 30 days of receiving the dispute, but under some circumstances, it may take longer.

7.4.        Unresponsiveness. When you are involved in a transaction, it is important that you remain active and available from the time the transaction is started to the time that the transaction is completed, canceled, or resolved. This means that you must be able to provide a response to a request by Soorbit Support in a disputed transaction within the time specified by Soorbit Support or you may be deemed as unresponsive and the dispute may be resolved against you.

7.5.        Chargebacks. A party may face additional risks depending on the payment method used for the transaction even if Soorbit’s dispute resolution process finds in favor of such party. The dispute resolution process set forth in this Agreement is separate from any remedies a Buyer or Seller may have through the payment method used in connection with a transaction. Soorbit is not obligated to initiate or handle chargebacks and is not liable if a party reverses, charges back, or otherwise disputes a transaction via an avenue made available to the party through the payment method used in the transaction, including after a dispute is closed.

7.6.        Dispute Resolution. A disputed transaction is most commonly resolved by Soorbit Support moving the Digital Assets subject to the dispute to the Buyer or the Seller of the disputed transaction once the dispute resolution process is complete.

Below are selected situations to provide you with insight as to how Soorbit may resolve a disputed transaction. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list. The resolution of any dispute will be impacted by the specific facts of the dispute and evidence provided by the users.

Soorbit Support may resolve a dispute in the Buyer’s favor when at least one of the following criteria are met:

1.    The Buyer has made payment according to the initial instructions provided by the Seller pursuant to the transaction offer and the Buyer has provided sufficient proof that the payment was made according to these instructions. It is a violation of this Agreement for a Seller to refuse to complete a transaction once the Buyer has satisfied all of the Seller’s terms and conditions as posted at the time the Buyer accepted and paid for the transaction.

2.    The Seller has become unresponsive and has not provided a sufficient response within the timeframe requested by Soorbit Support.

3.    The payment is made to a third party to the transaction or the payment is made to a payment account not registered in the name of the Seller.

Soorbit Support may resolve a dispute in the Seller’s favor when one of the following criteria are met:

1.    The Buyer has not provided payment, not provided payment in full or not provided payment according to the initial instructions provided by the Seller pursuant to the transaction offer.

2.    The payment made by the Buyer has been held, suspended, frozen or stopped by the payment provider or processor. This includes situations in which the Buyer has charged back or disputed a payment via its bank or payment card issuer.

3.    The Buyer has become unresponsive and has not provided a sufficient response within the timeframe requested Soorbit Support.

4.    The payment is made by a third party to the transaction or the payment is made from a payment account not registered in the name of the Buyer.

If the Buyer or the Seller of a disputed transaction provides fraudulent information or fraudulent documents or makes false claims or otherwise uses deceptive tactics, the dispute may be immediately resolved against such user and such user’s account may be immediately suspended or terminated at the sole discretion of Soorbit Support.

In some situations where neither party fulfills the criteria, or it is in other ways unclear or not possible to determine which party has fulfilled the dispute resolution criteria in Soorbit’s sole and absolute discretion, Soorbit may decide to resolve the dispute by splitting the Digital Assets subject to the dispute between the Buyer and the Seller evenly or unevenly.

7.7.        Appeal. If you believe Soorbit has resolved a dispute in a way which is not in accordance with this Agreement, you have a right to request an appeal. To request an appeal, you need to promptly notify us in writing by contacting Soorbit customer support no later than 1 calendar days after notice of Soorbit Support’s decision is delivered to you and provide us with sufficient details and evidence supporting your case for request. Your appeal should specifically identify how you believe Soorbit incorrectly resolved the dispute as per the terms of this Agreement and provide evidence of such incorrect decision.

 Please be reminded that whether during the dispute process or generally any time when using our Services, you are obligated to keep a civil tone and be respectful to other users and Soorbit Support.

7.8.        Finality. You acknowledge and agree that Soorbit’s decision regarding a dispute is conclusive, final and binding as described in this Agreement. Soorbit will have no liability to either a Buyer or a Seller in connection with its decisions.

8.   FEES FOR USING SOORBIT SERVICES

8.1.        Creating a Wallet is free. Soorbit charges fees for Services, applicable fees will be displayed prior to you using any Service to which a fee applies. See “Soorbit Fees” for further details. Our fees are subject to change and Soorbit reserves the right to adjust its pricing and fees and at any time.

9.   NO RIGHT TO CANCEL SERVICES OR MINERS FEES

9.1.        If you use a Service to which a charge applies, or you initiate a transaction with a miners fee via the Services, you will not be eligible for a refund or reimbursement once you have confirmed that you wish to proceed with the Service or transaction.
