In addition to the prohibited jurisdictions and persons described above, express prior written authorization from Bloquo is required before using the Services in connection with: (ii) any person, entity, or transaction involving jurisdictions designated by the FATF as “Jurisdictions Under Increased Monitoring”; (ii) any Politically Exposed Person (“PEP”), including any current or former senior government official, senior executive of a state-owned enterprise, political party official, candidate for public office, or any immediate family member, close associate, or entity directly or indirectly owned or controlled by such person; or (iii) any other jurisdiction or person identified by Bloquo as presenting elevated compliance risk based on factors such as weak AML/CFT frameworks, ongoing FATF monitoring, heightened corruption indices, or other regulatory or reputational concerns (collectively, “Restricted Categories”). Bloquo reserves the right to determine and update the Restricted Categories from time to time in its sole discretion to reflect changes in FATF designations, regulatory developments, or internal risk assessments. Any authorization granted by Bloquo with respect to Restricted Categories may be subject to enhanced Due Diligence, additional documentation requirements, transaction limitations, or other conditions as Bloquo may determine in its sole discretion.
Furthermore, you acknowledge and agree that you, your representatives, or any legally authorized third parties, are expressly prohibited or restricted, as applicable, from using the Services in connection with any of the activities, items, or services identified in Exhibit A, attached hereto.
Bloquo may, from time to time, and in its sole discretion, designate, amend, or remove any other category as prohibited or restricted under this Section 4 and Exhibit A.
Without limiting our rights under Sections 1 (Service Access and Accounts) and 15 (Term and Termination), if Bloquo determines that User has used the Services in connection with any person, activity, item, or service prohibited or restricted under this Section 4, Bloquo may, at its sole discretion, decide the temporary or permanent suspension of Services, blocking of pending or processing transactions, fund retention for investigation and compliance analysis, Account Credential and Account deactivation, charging additional fees for investigation and remediation costs, inclusion in internal restriction lists and sharing with partners, giving notice to competent authorities about suspicious or illicit activities, cooperating with regulatory, police, or judicial investigations, initiate legal action for damage compensation and application of contractual penalties. Furthermore, if Bloquo suspects that the User’s Account has been used for an unauthorized, illegal, or criminal purpose, or any other activity otherwise prohibited under this Section 4, User expressly authorizes Bloquo to share information about User, User’s Account, access to the Services, and transactions with the applicable law enforcement and regulatory agencies.
5. Services: compliance, limitations, and changes
In addition to providing access to the Platform, Bloquo may provide other Services as described in, and subject to, the applicable Order Form. To the extent required by applicable Laws, such Services are provided in accordance with Bloquo’s registration as an MSB with FinCEN, and applicable U.S. federal laws and regulations, including, the Bank Secrecy Act, anti-money laundering requirements, and OFAC administered sanctions programs.
Notwithstanding any other applicable exemption under U.S. federal or state law, in certain transactions facilitated through the Platform, Bloquo may act as the User's (i.e., the payee’s) agent for the purpose of collecting payments or funds from payors. Where Bloquo acts as the User's agent in this capacity, pursuant to these Terms and Conditions (which constitute a preexisting written agreement), delivery of funds to Bloquo will be deemed to satisfy the payor's obligation to the User in full, and Bloquo will promptly notify the User upon receipt of such funds. The User agrees to credit the payor’s account (or otherwise fulfill its obligations) immediately upon receiving such confirmation from Bloquo.
As contemplated by these Terms and Conditions, the Services rely on TSPs (including, without limitation, virtual asset service providers, liquidity providers, custodians, banks, and network infrastructure, including, without limitation, blockchain networks) and their respective systems and networks. Bloquo does not own, operate, or control the systems or networks of such TSPs and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws and in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, Bloquo is not responsible for any operation, failure, delay, interruption, or other issue attributable to such TSPs and their systems or networks. For clarity, Bloquo does not accept, hold, convert, transmit, or otherwise control funds or digital assets beyond its role as technology provider and registered MSB status. Provided that TSPs custody your funds or value, such TSPs are solely responsible for the same, and Bloquo shall not be liable for any fraud, misdelivery, error, omission, misdisbursement, non-receipt, or other improper or wrongful disposition of funds or value arising from or caused by the actions or omissions of such TSPs.
For purposes of the foregoing, Bloquo may enter into agreements with TSPs. User is not a third-party beneficiary of these agreements. However, some TSPs may require User to enter into a direct agreement with such TSP. If User is required to enter into such an agreement and declines to do so, Bloquo may, without limitation of its rights under Sections 1, 4, and 15, suspend, restrict, or terminate User’s Account or access to the Services.
Without limiting our rights under Sections 17 (Disclaimers) and 18 (Limitation of Liability), and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws, Bloquo shall not be liable for any fraud, misdelivery, error, omission, misdisbursement, non-receipt, or other improper or wrongful disposition of funds or value arising from or caused by the actions or omissions of any User, sender, recipient, counterparty, or third party, including without limitation, TSPs. Bloquo will rely on transaction instructions provided by the User and will use commercially reasonable efforts and methods to facilitate the transactions with such instructions; provided, however, that Bloquo shall not be responsible for any loss, error, or delay resulting from inaccurate, incomplete, or incorrect instructions, or from the actions or omissions of any sender, recipient, counterparty, or third-party service provider, including without limitation, TSPs.
User has an independent obligation to comply with all applicable Laws related to the Services. User expressly acknowledges and agrees it is assuming the risk of its non-compliance with the rules governing the processing of transactions in connection with the Services.
Specifically, User acknowledges and agrees that the User is responsible for all reversed or failed transactions, and for any associated fees, claims, fines, penalties, losses, or other liabilities incurred by Bloquo, our TSPs Partners or other Bloquo Users arising from User’s use of User’s Account or the Services or any breach of these Terms and Conditions. Without limiting the foregoing, User agrees to reimburse Bloquo or our TSPs Partners for any liability relating to a transaction that: (i) is reversed in accordance with Bloquo or its TSPs Partners’ risk management policies; (ii) is reversed in accordance with applicable Laws, (iii) fails due to User’s error; (iv) fails due to the provision of inaccurate information; or (v) is cancelled or rejected by the User or the recipient or sender, or the respective system or network (each, a “Reversal”).
User will be able to access information regarding their transaction history and Account balances. Upon request, Bloquo shall make such information reasonably available to User, subject to any limitations of the Services in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
Bloquo reserves the right to modify, update, and discontinue any features or functionalities of the Services at any time, at Bloquo’s sole discretion, and without prior notice to User (“Changes to the Services”). The Changes to the Services may include, but are not limited to, enhancements, adjustments, or the removal of specific features. Bloquo is committed to continually improving the Services and User acknowledges that Changes to the Services are necessary to maintain quality and innovation.
6. Transaction authorization
User irrevocably authorizes Bloquo to transmit User transaction instructions to the applicable TSPs and authorizes such TSPs to perform any cross-border, settlement, conversion, custody, transmission, or other actions necessary to execute the transaction, in each case in accordance with the applicable agreements between Bloquo and such TSP and applicable Laws. User’s authorization permits Bloquo and its TSPs to generate a paper draft or electronic transfer order to process each transaction that User authorizes. User acknowledges that transaction instructions, once transmitted, may be irreversible and cannot be cancelled or modified.
Specifically, User authorizes the applicable TSPs to initiate electronic entries to each account for which User inputs or enables the retrieval of the routing number and account number, card number or applicable information in order to complete a transaction using the Platform, including without limitation any software, website, mobile application, messaging channels, API integrations, and integrations with third-party websites and mobile applications, or any other ingress point, and to initiate adjustments for any transactions credited or debited in error.
User agrees that its use of the Platform constitutes User's authorization for Bloquo to retain and log its transaction authorization requests and that Bloquo’s online logs will be evidence of such transaction authorization.
User’s authorization will remain in full force and effect until User notifies Bloquo that User revokes such authorization by contacting Bloquo in accordance with instructions provided by Bloquo from time to time or by closing User’s Account. User understands that Bloquo requires a reasonable time to act on its revocation, not to exceed ten (10) business days.
Each transaction request must be supported by commercially reasonable and compliant documentation evidencing the lawful origin of the relevant funds or resources, which may include, without limitation, commercial contracts, invoices, payment receipts, tax filings, and other supporting records requested by Bloquo. Such documentation shall be provided promptly upon request and, in any event, within the timeframe specified by Bloquo. All documentation shall form part of the transaction record and may be retained, reviewed, and disclosed by Bloquo to competent authorities or third parties, as required or permitted by applicable Laws.
7. Fees and payment
For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Fees” means the fees to be paid by User to Bloquo for use of the Services, as specified in the applicable Order Form or otherwise made available to User through the Platform, pricing schedules, quotes, dashboards, statements, confirmations, or other commercial communications. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Fees do not include fees, charges, or costs imposed directly by TSPs pursuant to a separate agreement between User and such TSP.
All Fees are non-refundable except to the extent required by applicable Laws. Your right to access or use the Services hereunder is subject to the payment of Fees.
In accordance with Section 8 (Deductions, Set-Off, and Collection Rights), Fees shall be collected directly by Bloquo, or its designated agents, in connection with the transaction, and may be deducted or withheld from the amounts associated with such transaction.
Unless otherwise stated, Fees do not include any direct or indirect local, state, provincial, federal, or foreign taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, without limitation, value-added, goods and services, harmonized, use or withholding taxes (collectively, “Taxes”). You are solely responsible for determining, collecting, withholding, reporting and remitting Taxes. Bloquo will not determine whether Taxes apply, nor calculate, collect, report, or remit Taxes to any tax authority arising from your use of the Services. If Bloquo has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which you are responsible under this Section 7, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by you, unless you provide Bloquo with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Nothing in this Section 7 limits Bloquo’s right to collect or remit Taxes where required by Law.
Bloquo reserves the right to increase Fees in its sole discretion without notice (“Fee Increase”). By continuing to use the Services, User consents to the Fee Increase. To withdraw its consent, User must close its Account in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
8. Deductions, set-off, and collection rights
To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, Bloquo may deduct any Fees, Reversal-related costs or other charges you owe to Bloquo under these Terms and Conditions and the applicable Order Form directly from amounts associated with a transaction or otherwise available through the Platform, and may set off such amounts against any balance in your Account or against any amounts due to you. Unless expressly stated otherwise in the applicable Order Form, all charges are deducted first from the transaction funds and thereafter from your Account.
If the amounts available are insufficient to satisfy amounts owed to Bloquo, Bloquo may, directly or through its applicable TSPs, collect the outstanding balance from any funding source associated with User’s Account. Your failure to pay in full amounts that you owe Bloquo on demand will constitute a material breach of these Terms and Conditions.
User will be liable for Bloquo’s costs associated with collection in addition to the amount owed, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, collection agency fees, and interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable Laws. In its discretion, Bloquo may make appropriate reports to credit reporting agencies and law enforcement authorities and cooperate with them in any resulting investigation or prosecution.
9. Other user responsibilities
In addition to any other obligations set forth in these Terms and Conditions, User is solely responsible for ensuring that its activities and operations comply fully with all applicable Laws. This non-delegable responsibility includes, but is not limited to, the following aspects, as applicable:
(a) Maintaining the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, and appropriateness of all User Data, including its content and use;
(b) Obtaining, maintaining, and timely renewing all licenses, registrations, authorizations, and approvals necessary for conducting its respective activities and for using the Services;

(e) Maintaining organized and updated records of internal compliance policies, procedures, operational procedures, transaction records, due diligence evidence, and any other documents that prove compliance with its obligations, as applicable. These documents must be made available to Bloquo whenever requested, within a maximum period of five (5) business days;
(f) Immediately communicate to Bloquo any relevant security incidents, including but not limited to “phishing” attempts, and any breach of security or unauthorized use of your Account or Account Credentials, as well as suspicions of irregular activity, ongoing regulatory investigations, changes in User’s compliance status, or any event that may impact Services provision;
(g) Adopting and maintaining appropriate device and network protection measures, including ensuring that all operating systems, browsers, and software used in connection with the Services are always updated with the latest security patches, and acknowledging that you are fully responsible for maintaining the security of your equipment and systems; and
(h) Ensuring the legality and compliance of its international operations in all involved jurisdictions, as applicable, including, but not limited to conducting adequate classification of products, services, or flows according to required nomenclatures; preparing and presenting all fiscal, customs, and regulatory documents required for international operations; calculating, collecting, and paying all taxes, fees, and charges levied on its operations; and rigorously observing all applicable foreign exchange and capital control rules. Bloquo assumes no responsibility for violations committed by the User before any fiscal, regulatory, customs, or foreign exchange authorities.

11. Data security
User Data is hosted under industry-standard physical, technical, and logical security controls. If we become aware of any unauthorized access, disclosure, or use involving User Data or Account Credentials (“Security Breach”), we will promptly notify you and take appropriate actions.
Although Bloquo uses reasonable security measures, no system is perfectly secure. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Bloquo shall not be liable for any Security Breaches.
12. Data related responsibilities
We will not use or disclose User Data except as allowed in these Terms and Conditions, as described in the Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable Laws.
In providing the Services, Bloquo collects, analyzes, and relays information generated in connection with transactions to and from Users. User authorizes Bloquo to provide such information to the TSPs. TSPs may use this information to perform their obligations under applicable agreements with Bloquo, to operate and promote their respective systems or networks, to perform analytics and create reports, to prevent fraud, and for any other lawful purpose.

Bloquo is not responsible for and does not endorse or accept any responsibility for the availability, contents, products, services, or use of any Third Party Content, any website or application accessed from a Third Party Content, or any changes or updates to such websites or applications. Bloquo makes no guarantees about the content or quality of the products or services provided by such websites or applications.

Any termination of these Terms and Conditions does not relieve User of any obligations to pay Fees and other charges accrued prior to the termination and any other amounts owed by User to Bloquo.
Upon termination of these Terms and Conditions: (i) your access and User rights of the Services will terminate and you must immediately cease all access and use of the Services; (ii) you will no longer be authorized to access your Account or the Services; (iii) any pending transactions will be canceled, and any available User funds at the time of termination will be paid out to User, less any applicable Fees and charges owed to Bloquo, according to a payout schedule to be set by Bloquo upon its reasonable discretion, assuming all payout-related authentication requirements have been fulfilled; and (iv) any provision that is reasonably necessary to accomplish or enforce the purpose of these Terms and Conditions shall survive and remain in effect in accordance with its terms, including, without limitation, Sections 7, 8, 10, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 31.

21. Changes to these terms and conditions
Bloquo reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to amend, change, modify, revise, or reissue these Terms and Conditions from time to time (each, an “Update”). Excluding Fee Increases which are subject to Section 7 of these Terms and Conditions, in the event that an Update materially affects your rights or obligations, or those of Bloquo under these Terms and Conditions, Bloquo will provide you with notice of such Update via email, through your Account, or by any other reasonable means of communication, using the email address or other contact information provided during registration or thereafter. You will be deemed to have accepted any Update by continuing to access or use the Services for fifteen (15) days following such notice, and the updated Terms and Conditions will thereafter govern the rights and obligations between you and Bloquo.
22. Marketing
If applicable, User grants Bloquo the right to use its company name and logo as a reference for marketing or promotional purposes on Bloquo’s website and in other public or private communications or disclosures with its existing or potential customers and investors, subject to its standard trademark usage guidelines as provided to Bloquo from time to time.
23. Severability
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions, or the Privacy Policy, is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its original intent. If modification is not possible, the provision shall be severed, and the remainder of the agreement shall continue in full force. If a provision is unenforceable under mandatory local Law, that local law will apply only to that specific matter, without affecting the validity of the remaining provisions.
24. Dispute resolution. Arbitration agreement
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy or the Order Form (“Dispute”), the parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating the arbitration procedure provided in this Section 24. Such informal negotiations shall commence upon written notice from the party promoting the Dispute.
If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute will be solely and exclusively resolved through binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s confidential information, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other Intellectual Property Rights.
BOTH YOU AND BLOQUO UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO SUBMIT TO ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS TO SETTLE ANY DISPUTES HEREUNDER, THAT ARBITRATION WILL BE IN LIEU OF LITIGATION EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT IN FAVOR OF THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow these Terms and Conditions as a court would.
The arbitration, once initiated, will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (or, if required by law to be treated as a consumer dispute, the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules). The AAA’s rules are available from the AAA. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 24. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. The parties may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the state of Montana, or at another mutually agreed location. Any award of damages by an arbitrator must be consistent with Sections 17 and 18. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief in favor of the claimant only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, such Dispute shall be instituted in the federal courts of the U.S. (or, if federal jurisdiction is lacking, the state courts) located in the state of Montana, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such legal suit, action, or proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice, or other document by mail to such party’s address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any suit, action, or other proceeding brought in any such court.
The parties agree that all arbitration proceedings shall be confidential. All evidence, testimony, and the arbitral award shall remain confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of the other party, except as may be required by Law or for the purpose of enforcing an arbitral award.
Both you and Bloquo agree that any Dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. THIS MEANS THAT YOU AND BLOQUO BOTH AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION PROCEEDING. FURTHER, UNLESS YOU AND BLOQUO AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR IN ANY DISPUTE MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION PROCEEDING.
Unless otherwise required by Law, an action or proceeding by User relating to any disagreement pertaining to a payment transaction facilitated by Bloquo under these Terms and Conditions (“Payment Dispute”) must commence within six months of initiation of such payment/transaction. An action or proceeding by the parties relating to any other Dispute must commence in accordance with the applicable statute of limitations.
25. Waiver of jury trial
EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE, ACTION, OR LITIGATION IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THE PRIVACY POLICY.
26. Governing law
These Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Montana, without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law provision or rule that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
27. Assignment
You shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of your rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of your obligations or performance, under these Terms and Conditions, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of Law, or otherwise, without Bloquo’s prior written consent, which consent Bloquo may give or withhold in its sole discretion. We may assign or transfer all or any of our rights or obligations without your consent. Any merger, purchase, sale, consolidation, reorganization, corporate divestiture, or any other type of acquisition or business combination of all or any portion of a party’s assets or equity interests, or transfer of all or a portion of a party’s business involving any party (regardless of whether such party is a surviving or disappearing entity) will be deemed to be a transfer of rights, obligations, or performance under these Terms and Conditions for which the other party’s written consent is not required. These Terms and Conditions bind and benefit permitted successors and assigns.
28. No agency; no employment
No agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these Terms and Conditions between the parties.
29. Entire agreement
These Terms and Conditions and the documents incorporated by reference (including the Privacy Policy and the Order Form, as applicable) are the entire agreement and replace all prior or contemporaneous agreements on this subject. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency, these Terms and Conditions shall control unless stated otherwise.
30. Terms and conditions language
These Terms and Conditions are written in English, which shall control. Any translation is provided for convenience only and shall not modify or affect the interpretation of these Terms and Conditions. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict, the English version prevails.
31. Communications and notices
By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you agree and consent to receive all communications, agreements, documents, notices, and disclosures (collectively, “Communications”) that Bloquo provides in connection with your Account and the Services, electronically. Communications may be delivered by email to the primary email address associated with your Account, by providing a link or instructions for accessing such Communications, and, by posting the Communications on the Platform.

32. Force majeure
Bloquo will not be liable or responsible to you, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached these Terms and Conditions, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any of its obligations under these Terms and Conditions or in providing the Services, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from any events beyond Bloquo’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; flood, fire, earthquake, epidemics, pandemics, tsunami, explosion; war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; government order, law, or action; embargoes or blockades; strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns, or other industrial disturbances; shortage of adequate or suitable internet connectivity, telecommunication breakdown, or shortage of adequate power or electricity; and other similar events beyond Bloquo’s control.
