PayServices Exchange
Preambule
The following Terms of Use, together with any documents expressly incorporated by reference(collectively, these "Terms of Use"), are a binding agreement between you (referred to as “you”, “your”or “User” hereinafter) and the Company and govern your access to and use of PayServices.com, including any content, functionality and Services (as defined below) offered on or through PayServices.com (hereinafter the "Website") or MEOS, PayServices smart App’s for mobile phones and devices, PayServices Secured Browsers for Mac OS or Windows OS, whether as a guest or a registered user or via any affiliated website.
1. The PayServices Exchange Service
The PayServices Exchange Service allows buyers ("Buyers") and sellers ("Sellers") as the Service users, to observe exchange rates, offers to exchange, buy or sell various symbols of value (hereinafter“Service”). The Service also allows registered users of the Service having a verified PayServices account to:
1) Transfer symbols of value to other users of the PayServices Exchange or to accounts outside ofPayServices Inc. ecosystem or client portals and affiliated companies and web sites.
2) Use Symbols of Value for purchasing or exchanging products, services, commitments, opinions and any other symbol of value.
3) Access and use interconnected systems and values such as and without limitations, fiat and crypto currencies exchanges and systems etc. It is understood that in case of use of other systems via the PayServices exchange, other limitations and rules may also apply.
4) Search for historical exchange and other data.
5) Handle, exchange, offer and buy commitments, opinions, votes.
6) Other services to be provided, added or eliminated from time to time
Depending on your country of residence, you may not be able to use all the functions of the Company websites. It is your responsibility to follow those rules and laws in your country of residence and/or country from which you access this website and any Services provided by PayServices Inc. or its affiliates. As long as you agree to and comply with these Terms of Use, PayServices Inc. grants to you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sub licensable and limited right to enter and use the website and the Service.
2. Risks
The trading of goods and products, real or virtual, symbols of value such as virtual currencies, opinions, votes and commitments involves significant risk. Prices can and do fluctuate on any given day, exchanges and markets and technical issues may create uncertainties and fluctuations in the value of such symbols of value. Due to such value fluctuations, you may increase or lose value of your assets at any given moment and may also go into debt. Any symbol of value such as currency - virtual or not - maybe subject to various 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.
Blockchain, and many other non-fiat currencies trading also have 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, Blockchain currencies such as Bitcoin or PayServices Bits are a unique kind of currency, backed by technology and trust. There is no central bank that can take corrective measure to protect the value of Blockchain currencies in a crisis, issue more currency or provide for interest rates and other money markets managing tools.
Other symbols of value such as some Complementary Currencies may be only backed by private, public or other organizations. A good example may be Frequent Flyers miles which is a Complementary Currency backed by an airline. These symbols of value heavily depend on the operators that operate these values and these values may fluctuate or even lose value completely under certain circumstances.
Many blockchain currencies are an as-yet autonomous or a private or public company backed and are largely unregulated worldwide by a system of currency firms and individuals. Traders put their trust in a digital, decentralized and partially anonymous system that relies on peer-to-peer networking and cryptography to maintain its integrity.
Various Symbols of value trading is probably susceptible to irrational (or rational) bubbles or loss of confidence, which could collapse demand relative to supply. For example, confidence might collapse inBlockchain currencies should unexpected changes imposed by the software developers or others, a government crackdown, the creation of superior competing alternative currencies, a technical issue 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 or intervene in such mechanism so that it is compromised.
There may be additional risks that we have not foreseen or identified in our Terms of Use and we cannot be held liable for such occurrences.
You should carefully assess whether your financial situation and tolerance for risk is suitable for buying, selling or trading the various symbols of values offered here.
We may also use also traditional financial, credit card or banking providers in order to receive client moneys and making payments. Unlike the PayServices Exchange, most of the the legacy banking and financial services providers DO NOT exchange, transfer nor support symbols of value such asComplementary Currency, Block Chain currencies such as Bitcoins or PayServices Bits, Barter Currencies ,Commitments or provide any services in connection with such symbols of value.
Some partner cards may be co-branded and/or equipped with a PayServices wallet. These may be used for various lifesaving medical applications where the card or system files linked to the card may hold data. It is up to the cardholder or doctors or partners managing this project to provide correct data. PayServices provides only some tools and technology but is not responsible nor is a party for such initiatives which are out of the scope of the PayServices e wallet.

Company may charge service fees based on a price list which may be amended from time to time and include one or more such fees such as a percentage commission, a transaction fee, a success fee and/or other fees.
