By accessing or using the Bottlepay Services, you agree to the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of the Agreement, do not access or use the Bottlepay Services.
This Agreement applies at all times when using the Bottlepay Services. This Agreement is governed by English law and any disputes arising from this Agreement will be settled exclusively by English Courts.
For details on how we store and use your personal information please refer to our Privacy Policy.
You
You confirm that you are an individual who is 18 years old or older, that you are resident in the United Kingdom (UK) or European Union (EU), that you are not a United States tax resident, and that you have not been previously rejected or suspended from the Bottlepay services.
Your Account is for personal use only, and you must not use it for any purpose connected with your trade or profession.
Your Obligations
You must only use the Bottlepay Services on your own behalf, and must not undertake any activity, or store any Digital Assets in your Account, on behalf of a third party.
You must not use the Bottlepay Services in a way that is unlawful, that breaches the rights of any third party or that is otherwise defined in this Agreement as prohibited conduct (“Prohibited Conduct”). You can see what we consider Prohibited Conduct in our Glossary. Where your submission of content constitutes Prohibited Conduct, we may remove, delete or restrict the use of such content without liability to you.
Security
The Bottlepay Services are accessed through the App, and we will assume that any transaction authorised through the App has been authorised by you. You are responsible for maintaining the security of any information, hardware, service or other means of verification used to authenticate your identity on the App (“Security Factors”). You must not share your Security Factors with anyone, even if you think that person works for us.
You must tell us immediately if you think that anyone may be able to access your Account unlawfully, either because one or more of your Security Factors has been compromised, or for any other reason. We will typically respond to such requests during our normal business hours.
You must install updates to the App as soon as they become available for your device.
The App 📱
You may only download the App from app stores we recognise as safe. You can find details of which app stores we recognise as safe on our website. We are not responsible for the performance of the App if you are not running the most recent, unmodified, versions of both the App and of your device’s operating system.
We may change or remove features of the App at any time without notice to you.
Fiat Account 🔌
Your Fiat Account is provided by Modulr and is governed by the Modulr Terms set out below at Exhibit A. The Fiat Account is opened in your name, and you grant Bottlepay the right to access and control the Fiat Account solely for the purpose of performing our obligations and exercising our rights in accordance with this Agreement.
Onboarding (and staying onboard) 🛫
We are required by law to carry out checks in order to verify your identity and monitor the use of the Bottlepay Services for financial crime on an ongoing basis. We therefore require you to provide certain personal information and documents prior to opening your Accounts, and periodically thereafter. This information must be complete, accurate and up to date.
You must let us know as soon as any of your Account information changes. This could be because you have, for example, changed your name or address.
We reserve the right to reject your application to use the Bottlepay Services for any reason at any time.
We may also ask you to provide certain information and, if necessary, supporting evidence relating to your ongoing use of your Accounts. If you fail to provide such information within a reasonable period of time, your Accounts may be suspended or closed.
You acknowledge that we may undertake and retain searches with third party organisations, such as fraud prevention and credit reference agencies, for the purposes of conducting KYC checks. Those third party organisations may check the details you supply against any particulars on any database (public or otherwise) to which they have access. You further acknowledge that KYC checks will be recorded, but will not be seen by other organisations if you apply for credit in the future.
Get in Touch 👋
If you have any questions, or if you have a complaint, you can contact us through the App or you can email us at [email protected]
We will always make contact in English. We will usually contact you through the App or by email.
Digital Assets ₿
Digital Assets you store in your Bottlepay Account are held by Bottlepay on your behalf in accordance with this Agreement. We hold your Digital Assets in one or more omnibus accounts on the Bitcoin Network together with Digital Assets owned by other users of the Service. Your Digital Assets will not be commingled with Digital Assets that we own.
Before making any instructions to us to process a Digital Asset transaction, you should verify all transaction information. We accept no responsibility or liability for any incorrect or incomplete instructions received.
Transferring
Using the Bottlepay Service, you can instruct us to transfer Digital Assets to another Bottlepay customer, to a Linkable Identity or to an external wallet via a lightning or on-chain transaction. You are responsible for ensuring that you enter the recipient’s details correctly.
When we receive your instruction to transfer your Digital Assets to another Bottlepay customer the beneficial ownership of the Digital Assets will be transferred from you to the other Bottlepay customer.
You accept all consequences of initiating a transfer of Digital Assets, including the possibility that you may have sent Digital Assets to the wrong recipient and may not be able to recover them.
If you instruct us to send a transaction to a Linkable Identity which is not linked to a Bottlepay Account, the funds will be held for 7 calendar days and instructions will be issued to the recipient to complete onboarding with us and/or link their Linkable Identity to their Bottlepay Account. If these steps have not been completed within 7 days, the funds will be returned to your Bottlepay Account.
Trading
You can instruct us in the App to buy or sell Digital Assets using your fiat balance. You cannot withdraw this instruction once you have submitted it.
You can also instruct us to complete a recurring trade between fiat and Digital Assets. You can withdraw this instruction at any point until the designated time(s) and date(s) of execution for the applicable trade. This instruction is not guaranteed to be executed and in times of degraded service or technical issues Bottlepay will not be liable for any losses incurred on trades not executed. Trades will be executed at the next available point of the service and will be executed at the rate available to us at that time.
Rates and volatility
Digital Asset values can rapidly increase or decrease at any time, and the price at which we buy and sell Digital Assets reflects the price at which Bottlepay is able to source liquidity in the market and supply this on to our customers. This may be inclusive of transaction costs, margins and risks assumed as a result of offering fixed prices for extended periods of time, as well as other charges specified in this document.
You may be offered time-limited fixed prices in the App. If you are making your trade manually, the price will be displayed to you for approval prior to the transaction. If your transaction is automated - for example, because you are using our recurring trade feature - the price will be calculated at the time that the transaction is executed.
Risks of Cryptocurrencies
Digital Assets come with some risks and we want you to be aware of them:
-
Although the Digital Assets you store in your Bottlepay Account are held by Bottlepay on your behalf, they are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
-
Bottlepay’s services are not within the jurisdiction of the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS)
-
We do not control the Digital Asset Networks, and are not liable for any risks associated with their performance.
-
Wallets and other software associated with Digital Assets can be hacked and can therefore be subject to loss or delay.
-
Values of Digital Assets are not stable and can rapidly change.
-
Transfers of Digital Assets are irreversible, and cannot be cancelled once they have been confirmed.
Funding and withdrawals 💷
You can fund your Fiat Account in the App.
We apply some controls to your use of the Fiat Account in order to meet our compliance obligations and protect you from theft or fraud:
-
You can only fund your Fiat Account from a bank account in the UK or EU. The bank account must be in your name.
-
You can only withdraw fiat to a bank account that you’ve previously used to fund your Fiat Account.
Any attempt to circumvent these controls may result in the suspension or termination of your Accounts.
Transaction Limits and Due Diligence 🕵️♂️
Bottlepay's provision of Digital Assets is subject to UK anti-money laundering regulations, which require us to put controls in place to prevent financial crime. We therefore perform automated and manual screening of transactions, and may impose limits on the value, speed and frequency of the transactions you may make using the Bottlepay Services. Bottlepay will not be liable for any delay to, or failure of, your transaction as a result of such controls.
In order to meet our legal and regulatory obligations and commitments, we may require you to submit information about yourself, a transaction, a payee, your source of funds, source of wealth or any other matter at any time.
We reserve the right to refuse or freeze a transaction at any time where we suspect that it is connected to financial crime. We may suspend your access to your Accounts where we suspect that any activity relating to those Accounts is illegal or otherwise in breach of this Agreement.
Fees 🚕
We currently charge a fee of 1% for conversions between Digital Assets and fiat. If we change this fee, we will provide you at least two months’ prior notice.
Minimum Deposit €10. Minimum conversion €1. Transaction fees <€0.01 will be charged at €0.01.
Where a third party imposes charges for a transfer, such as an on-chain transaction fee for Digital Assets or a banking charge for a fiat transfer, we will pass such charges on to you.
Set off
If you are in arrears or owe us any money for any reason, we may set off amounts you hold in any Account against the amounts you owe us. This means there will be less available for you in your Accounts. We will only exercise this right where we consider it is reasonable to do so and, where practicable, once we have given you notice in advance.
Suspension, Termination and Cancellation ✂️
Closing your Account
You can close your Account at any time and for any reason by using the functionality in the App, or by getting in touch with us at [email protected].
We can close your Account for any reason, provided that we give you two months’ written notice.
We can close or suspend access to your Account at any time without notice if we reasonably believe that you have:
-
breached this Agreement, including by engaging in Prohibited Conduct;
-
broken the law;
-
put us in a position where we could break the law if we continued our relationship with you;
-
not accessed and/or held funds in your Accounts for an extended period of time; or
-
provided us with false or misleading information.
Withdrawing your Fiat and Digital Assets
Any balance remaining in your Fiat Account after closure will be transferred to your nominated bank account. Any Digital Assets remaining in your Bottlepay Account after closure will be traded for Fiat and transferred to your nominated bank account. If you have any outstanding fees or other amounts owing to us, we will deduct these from the balance in your Accounts prior to transferring. Our standard rates will apply to any trades undertaken by us to effect closure of your Account, and we will not be liable to you for any losses resulting from the timing of such trades.
If you do not have a nominated bank account, you may contact us in order to request withdrawal of any remaining funds after the closure of your Accounts. We may require you to provide further information in order to establish your identity and entitlement to such remaining funds.
Personal Data 🧬
Our Privacy Policy is available on sign up and via the Bottlepay Services. It sets out how we collect, make use of, disclose, retain and otherwise process your personal data.
Limitations and Exclusions 💼
We (including our officers, directors, employees and affiliates) will not be liable to you for any:
-
loss of profits, business, goodwill, or data, or any indirect or consequential loss, even if we have been advised of its possibility;
-
losses resulting from any unforeseeable events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to governmental action or acts of terrorism, earthquake, fire, flood, or other acts of God, labour conditions, delays or failures caused by problems with another system or network, mechanical breakdown or data-processing failures or where we are bound by other legal obligations;
-
losses resulting from a breach of your obligations under this Agreement; or
-
digital assets received and held by us through air drops, forks or other similar mechanisms, and we will have no duty, responsibility or obligation to you with respect to such assets, unless and until you have been notified in writing by us that such digital assets are “Digital Assets” (as defined in this Agreement), supported by Bottlepay, and included on your Bottlepay Account receipts or statements.
Our maximum total liability to you for an individual claim or series of claims resulting from a breach of this Agreement will be limited to the amount of Digital Assets and Fiat held in your Accounts at the time of the relevant claim.
While we aim to maintain continuous uptime, we do not provide any warranty in relation to the availability of the Bottlepay Services, and we exclude all liability for delays to, and interruptions of, the Bottlepay Services.
Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, some of the limitations in this section may not apply to you.
Intellectual Property
We own or licence all intellectual property rights in the Bottlepay Services, our brand, logos, name, software, website, and all related materials. No right (including any intellectual property right) in any of the foregoing will vest in you at any time.
Changes to this agreement 📫
We may make changes to any part of this Agreement, including the fees. We may provide notice of any significant changes via the App, email or SMS. We will usually provide notice of such changes at least two months prior to the date the changes come into force, although we may provide less notice where the changes are necessary for compliance with applicable law, or where we do not consider that they could materially disadvantage you. If you keep using the Bottlepay Services after the date the changes come into force, you will be deemed to have accepted the changes and agreed to the latest version of the Agreement set out here.
