Welcome to CrypKart.com

CrypKart.com is a peer-to-peer platform service that enables its users to exchange fiat currency to and from cryptocurrency. Users can use the platform to create advertisements where they offer to buy or sell cryptocurrency. Other users reply to these advertisements and the two users can agree to meet to trade crypto for cash or complete the trade online. In order for a user to sell cryptocurrency they ("seller") must store the cryptocurrency in the CrypKart.com web wallet belonging to their account from where the cryptocurrency(s) are transferred to the user purchasing the cryptocurrency ("buyer") after the seller confirms the buyers payment in fiat (or alt currency or other alternative form as mutually agreed by both). All trades on this site are conducted between users of the service. CrypKart.com may help to resolve disputes between buyers and sellers. Acting as an escrow provider, CrypKart.com is not itself a party of any cryptocurrency trade or transactions conducted by its users.

These Terms of Service ("Agreement") form a legal agreement covering the provision of services ("service" or "services") provided by CrypKart ("CrypKart.com" or "CrypKart" or "CrypKoin" or "us" or "our" or "we") to you as an individual ("you" or "your" or "trader"). Your use of the services will be governed by this Agreement, along with the CrypKart.com Privacy Policy. Please read through this Agreement and Privacy Policy carefully before accepting them.

Acceptance and Change of Terms

Before you can register an account you must accept our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. By accepting this Agreement or by using the Service, you expressly acknowledge and agree that you are entering into a legal agreement with CrypKart, and have understood and agree to comply with, and be legally bound by, this Agreement.

For changes to these Terms of Service that will significantly affect your rights and obligations we will strive to notify you before the changes take effect. You can terminate this Agreement at any time by concluding any outstanding trades and other obligations, withdrawing any remaining balances and deleting your account.

Registration and User Account

To use our services, or to access this site or some of the resources it has to offer, you may be asked to provide registration details in order to register a user account ("User Account" or "account"). It is a condition of use of this site and our services that all the details you provide are correct, current, and complete. If we believe the details are not correct, current, or complete, we have the right to refuse you access to the site, or any of its resources, and to terminate or suspend your account.

To be eligible to use our services you must be at least 16 years old. You may only use your own account at CrypKart.com and you may only have one account registered. You may only act on your own behalf, or on behalf of your parent account holder, wherein as well the main control will lie in the hands of the parent account holder. (A parent account is one which has sub users under its own account - a unique feature provided only by CrypKart). You may not use your account to act as an intermediary or broker for any person or entity. You are not allowed to sell, borrow, share or otherwise make available your account or any detail necessary to access your account to people or entities other than yourself.

You are responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of any and all usernames, passwords, two-factor authentication codes or any other codes or credentials that you use to access the services.

Your account must not contain misleading or fraudulent information, including, but not limited to having a non-personal phone number. Creating fake reputation information for your account, faking your country of origin or providing fraudulent identification documents is prohibited.

Pro trader account/Company Account

A company or pro-trader account is one which can create sub-traders (subusers) below its own account. Only KYC verified accounts are allowed to upgrade to pro-trader status. So if you wish to use our services as a company/pro-trader or other entity you are required to verify your credentials by KYC on the website. A pro-trader account has absolute controls over its subusers and are allowed to be shared with or used by other individuals or entities.

Accounts that are company/pro-trader verified are allowed the following exemptions from these Terms of Service:

A company/pro-trader may have several active user accounts under itself at any time, provided each such sub user account is operated by a single employee of the company/pro-trader. A single employee may only register and operate a single account.

A company/pro-trader may have active advertisements from several accounts with the following exceptions:

Ads are not allowed to overlap between accounts. E.g. you're not allowed to create advertisements using the same limits with the same price in the same payment method category in the same country.

Company might decide to offer the upgrade to a protrader account - by paying up some amount of CKN's per month - as service fees. For eg. 50 CKN per month would be deducted for mainting the pro-trader status. If the required balance is not there for auto-debit of required CKN - then the pro-trader status of the user would cease to exist. No subusers would be able to signin, in this case - until the account has been reinstated.

Identity Verification

In order to ensure CrypKart remains a safe platform for all of our customers we may require you to verify your identity to access part of the services we offer. Identity verification may be required when you create advertisements, pass certain trade volume limits, during trade disputes, fraud investigations, and to ensure account ownership. As part of our ID verification process we require you to provide us with your full name as well as documents and photographs that verify your identity.

In certain situations we may require enhanced identity verification. This may include requirements to verify details or sources of funds regarding payments you have made or received during trades on CrypKart as well as Cryptocurrency (or other crypto currency) transactions that you've sent or received from your CrypKart account.

ID verified accounts have a clear owner which makes it easy to return access to you if you lose all access to your account. It is very hard or impossible to return access to accounts that are unverified, even if you know your username, as it is difficult to identify the original account owner.

Crypto Trading

You can initiate crypto currency trades ("trade" or "contact") to either buy or sell by sending trade requests to advertisements created by other users.

By sending a trade request you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the trade as selected and determined by the advertiser (whether by selecting from options available to advertiser for advertisements or by any freeform terms and conditions set out by the advertiser in the Terms field) and displayed on the advertisement page. The terms and conditions specified by the advertiser are valid in all cases except when they contradict or violate these Terms of Service, are unreasonable or otherwise difficult to comply with, are illegal, or if both parties of the trade consent to alter the terms and conditions of the trade.

The exchange rate, Cryptocurrency amount, payment window, payment method and other terms and conditions of the trade that are visible on the advertisement page prior to sending a trade request cannot be altered once a trade request has been sent and the trade has started.

When you are selling Cryptocurrency it is your responsibility to check that you have confirmed, independent of the buyer and their payment evidence, that you have received payment for the full amount, that the payment is not made by a third party to the trade, and that it was made according to your instructions given to the buyer. After you have released a trade to the buyer it is not possible to cancel, reverse, dispute or otherwise recover or return the Cryptocurrencys to you.

Payments made by buyers must be sent by the same person that registered and uses the account. Payment details provided by sellers must match the name of the CrypKart account holder. Making, providing, or attempting to make or provide payments to or from third parties is considered a violation of this agreement.

All communication relevant to the trade must happen in the trade chat part of the trade in such a way that it is readily available for CrypKart support staff to review. Communication that has not occurred on CrypKart or that has been hidden, encrypted or otherwise obstructed from view is not taken into consideration during dispute review and dispute resolution.

Disputing Crypto Trades

When a buyer and a seller are in disagreement over a trade either party or CrypKart can start a dispute ("Disputed trade or "dispute"") to initiate a mediation process on the crypto held in escrow. Disputed trades are reviewed and resolved by CrypKart.com support staff.

Disputes can only be started on trades that are open and marked as paid by the buyer. Trades that are not marked as paid by the buyer, have been released by the seller, cancelled by the buyer, automatically cancelled, or already disputed and resolved are considered completed and cannot be disputed, reversed, or altered.

Unresponsiveness

When you are involved in a crypto trade it is important that you remain active and available from the time the trade is started to the time that the trade is completed, canceled, or resolved. This means that you must be able to provide a response to a request by CrypKart support in a disputed trade within 12 hours or you may be deemed as unresponsive and the dispute may be resolved against you.

Dispute review

During a dispute review CrypKart support may give you instructions that you are required to follow. The instructions given to you may require you to provide proof of payment, proof that you have or have not received payment (e.g. bank transaction history), additional ID verification, photo; audio; or video evidence, or any other documents deemed relevant by CrypKart. Unless otherwise specified by CrypKart, these documents must be added to the disputed trade itself. Failure to follow the instructions may lead to the dispute being resolved against you.

CrypKart may also ask either party to show the proof of payment via using screen sharing channels or other means as deemed fit for the case in particular. Disputing parties are supposed to co-operate as much as possible.

Dispute resolution criteria

A disputed trade is most commonly resolved by CrypKart support moving the escrowed Cryptocurrency to the buyer or the seller of the disputed trade once the dispute resolution criteria are met.

In rare situations where neither party fulfill the criteria, or it is in other ways unclear or not possible to determine which party has fulfilled the dispute resolution criteria, CrypKart may decide to resolve the dispute by splitting the escrowed crypto between the buyer and the seller evenly or unevenly.

Dispute resolution criteria

CrypKart can resolve a disputed trade to a crypto buyer when one of the following criteria are met:

- The buyer has made payment according to the instructions provided by the seller in the trade chat, advertisement terms of trade, or advertisement payment details and the buyer has provided sufficient proof that the payment was made according to these instructions.

- The seller has become unresponsive.

CrypKart can resolve a disputed trade to a crypto seller when one of the following criteria are met:

- The buyer has not provided payment or not provided payment in full

- The buyer has become unresponsive

- The payment made by the buyer has been held/frozen/stopped by the payment provider

- The buyer has not provided payment according to the instructions provided to them by the seller in the trade chat, advertisement terms of trade or advertisement payment details.

- The payment is made by a third party to the trade 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 trade provides fraudulent information or fraudulent documents or makes false claims or otherwise tries to force a certain outcome of a disputed trade the dispute may be immediately resolved against the user.

Incorrect dispute resolution

If you believe CrypKart has resolved a dispute you are a party of in a way which is not in accordance with these terms you have a right to request a review. To request a review you need to notify us and specifically request a review by contacting customer support no later than 60 days after the dispute resolution.

Advertisements

You can create cryptocurrency trade advertisements ("advertisement"" or "ad" or "ads") to advertise that you want to buy or sell cryptocurrency. Other users can send trade requests to you from the advertisements that you've created. When a trade request is sent to you a cryptocurrency trade is started once you agree to the terms of trade and offer.

When you have advertisements enabled you are required to be active and available to reply to trades started from these advertisements. If a dispute is initiated in a trade against an advertiser who is not active and available the advertiser may be deemed unresponsive as per this agreement and the dispute may be resolved against them.

Information and payment details you provide in advertisements and trades must at all times be correct and up to date. Disputes may be resolved against you if you include out-of-date payment details and a buyer completes payment accordingly. Refusal to complete trades or to provide payment details for trades opened from your advertisements is considered a violation of this agreement.

The price or price equation that is defined in the advertisement details must contain any and all fees that the advertiser requires the buyer to pay. After initiation of a trade the price is locked and cannot be changed or any additional fees added without consent from both parties of the trade.

Offline Advertisements

Local Cash advertisements are advertisements in the categories "Buy crypto offline" and "Sell crypto offline" or any other advertisement where the payment method is specified as cash. Use Offline mode especially where you will be paying up money physically(offline). For eg. meeting personally

AltCoin Advertisements

You may trade where your payment is being done by other crypto currencies. For eg. You may offer to pay ethereum to buy bitcions. These advertisements are advertisements in the categories "Buy with altcoins" and "Sell with altcoins" . Your location does not matter in this case, since the entire trade will be completely online and is not dependent on any payment method of a specific country. Your ad if in altcoins ? will be visible across all locations.

Online advertisements

Online advertisements are advertisements in the categories "Buy online" and ?Sell online" or any other advertisement where the payment method is any other than cash or the advertisement type is online buy or online sell.

You must place your ads in the correct payment category.

Multiple ads for the same payment method are not allowed in the same country.

Limiting Access to Your CrypKart Wallet

In certain situations your ability to access, conduct crypto transactions, or start trades using cryptocurrency held in your CrypKart wallet may be limited.

This limitation may be applied specifically to your account in order to safeguard cryptocurrency stored in your wallet when we e.g. suspect a third party has gained unauthorized access to your account; if we suspect you of engaging in or being involved in fraudulent or illegal activity; if we are provided with valid legal request from an authority.

This limitation may be applied generally to all users or a subset of our users during service outages or maintenance outages of the website; during Cryptocurrency hardforks or other similar/dissimilar situations where we believe there is a high risk to your crypto balance.

In the event that we limit access to your wallet we aim to remove the limitation as soon as possible once the reasons for the suspension or termination no longer exist.

We will normally give you a notice of any limitation of access to your wallet but we may, if it is reasonable to do so (for example we consider it advisable for security reasons), limit access to your wallet without prior notice.

You acknowledge that our decision to limit access to your wallet may be based on confidential criteria that are essential to our risk management and security protocols and that we are under no obligation to disclose the details of our risk management and security procedures to you.

Supporting Blockchain Forks and Other Cryptocurrencies

From time to time, new and alternative cryptocurrencies and/or forks of the Cryptocurrency blockchain may be created. This may result in holders of private keys containing a cryptocurrency balance receiving a corresponding amount of the new cryptocurrency on the newly created blockchain ("air-drop"). We reserve the right at our sole discretion to decide if and how we support any new cryptocurrencies and/or blockchain forks in our services including defining which blockchain shall be deemed as Cryptocurrency within the meaning of this Agreement. We strive to communicate our decisions concerning any significant new forks or cryptocurrencies on our website in a timely manner. If we decide to not support a new cryptocurrency we may, but are not obligated to, compensate users who held Cryptocurrency/other crypto in their CrypKart account at the time of the air-drop in a manner deemed appropriate by us. We reserve the right to provide compensation by converting all of the available new cryptocurrency to Cryptocurrency/other parent crypto and sharing all of the converted Cryptocurrency/parent crypto between users who held a Cryptocurrency/parent crypto balance on their account at the time of the creation of the new cryptocurrency. In case such a conversion takes place we may charge you a processing fee in any amount deemed reasonable by us at our sole discretion but not exceeding the amount of compensation payable to you.

If we decide to support a new cryptocurrency, unless otherwise communicated by us, these Terms of Service, including any reference to Bitcoin/other crypto, shall be equally applied to the new cryptocurrency.

We cannot guarantee that the decisions we take under this Section will be suitable, desirable or practical to you. If you are concerned about our decisions, stances or the lack thereof regarding any given blockchain fork or new cryptocurrency, we recommend that you withdraw your balance and handle the situation on your own as you see fit.
