CRYPTOCURRENCY USAGE

No Solicitation or Advice

None of the information contained on the Website, Freeda Wallet or Freeda Kiosks constitutes a recommendation, solicitation or offer to buy or sell any securities, options or other financial instruments or other assets or provide any investment advice or service. You acknowledge that you are not relying on the Company or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, partners, agents or employees in making an investment decision. Always consider seeking the advice of a qualified professional before making decisions regarding your business and/or investments.

Conversion Services

Eligible users in certain jurisdictions may buy or sell supported cryptocurrency through the Conversion Services. The Conversion Services are subject to the Company "Conversion Rate" for the given transaction. "Conversion Rate" means the price of a given supported cryptocurrency amount in terms of Fiat Currency or other cryptocurrency as quoted on the Website, Freeda Wallet, or by OTC Desk email address. The Conversion Rate is stated either as a "Buy Price" or as a "Sell Price," which is the price in terms of Fiat Currency or cryptocurrency at which you may buy or sell supported cryptocurrency to Company. You acknowledge that the quoted Buy Price Conversion Rate may not be the same as the Sell Price Conversion Rate at any given time and that Company may add a margin or “spread” to the quoted Conversion Rate. You agree, as a condition of using any Company Conversion Services, to accept the Conversion Rate as the sole conversion metric. Company reserves the right to delay any Conversion Service transaction if it perceives a risk of fraud or illegal activity. Company does not guarantee the availability of its Conversion Service, and the act of purchasing supported cryptocurrency from Company does not result in a guarantee that you may sell your supported cryptocurrency to Company.

Information on the USA Patriot Act – Customer Identification Program

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OPENING AN ACCOUNT

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, US Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person identified as a “customer”, who opens an account with Freeda. 

What this means for you:
If you are opening an account with Freeda, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, social security number, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see a driver’s license, selfie, passport or other identifying documents.

Freeda Wallet and OTC

To use Freeda OTC and Freeda Wallet, you must download Freeda Wallet on the App Store or GooglePlay Store and go through verification. We offer two different transaction tiers.

Transactions

Any Bitcoin amount purchased through Freeda Kiosk is deposited to Freeda Wallet off-blockchain with no miner fees.

All other cryptocurrency transactions, including deposits and withdrawals from Freeda Wallet, must be confirmed and recorded in the blockchain via a distributed consensus network (a peer-to-peer network), which is not owned, controlled, or operated by us. The Bitcoin blockchain is operated by a decentralized network of independent third parties. We have no control over the Bitcoin blockchain and therefore cannot and will not ensure that any transaction details you submit will be confirmed on the Bitcoin blockchain. You acknowledge and agree that the transaction details you submit may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed, by the Bitcoin blockchain.

No Cancellations or Modifications

Once transaction details have been submitted to the Bitcoin blockchain, there is no way to cancel or otherwise modify your transaction details. We have no control over the Bitcoin blockchain and do not have the ability to facilitate any cancellation or modification requests.
