Maintaining Your Account

You must ensure that the information recorded on your Account is always accurate and up to date and we shall not be liable for any loss arising out of your failure to do so. We may ask you at any time to confirm the accuracy of your information or to provide documents or other evidence.

We may contact you by with information or notices regarding your Account. It is your responsibility to regularly check the proper functioning of your e­mail account or other methods of communication that you have registered with your Account and to retrieve and read messages relating to your Account promptly. We shall not be liable for any loss arising out of your failure to do so.

Fund uploads, payments received, payments sent and fund withdrawals are displayed in your online transactions history together with the date of receipt or transmission (the debit value date), the fees charged and, where applicable, any exchange rate used. Each transaction is given a unique transaction ID and shown in the transaction history. We will not alter or amend information displayed in your online transaction history. You should quote this transaction ID when communicating with us about a particular transaction. You should check your Account balance and transaction history regularly. You should report any irregularities or clarify any questions you have as soon as possible by contacting Customer Service.

Subject to the provisions below and without prejudice, in order to claim a refund for an unauthorized or incorrectly executed payment transaction on your Account you must notify us without undue delay after becoming aware of the unauthorized or incorrect transaction and in any event no later than Fifteen (15) days after the debit date of the transaction.

Keeping Your Account Safe

You must take all reasonable steps to keep your Account password safe at all times and never disclose it to anyone. Our personnel will never ask you to provide your password to us or to a third party. Any message you receive or website you visit that asks for your password, other than the Trade Chain Labs Website or a Trade Chain Labs payment gateway on a merchant website, should be reported to us. If you are in doubt whether a website is genuine, you should contact Customer Service. It is advisable to change your password regularly (at least every three (3) to six (6) months) in order to reduce the risk of a security breach in relation to your Account. We also advise you not to choose a password that is easily guessed from information someone might know or gather about you or a password that has a meaning. You must never allow anyone to access your Account or watch you accessing your Account. You must comply with the security procedures we tell you about from time to time.

If you have any indication or suspicion of your Account, login details, password or other security feature being lost, stolen, misappropriated, used without authorization or otherwise compromised, you are advised to change your password. You must contact Customer Service without undue delay on becoming aware of any loss, theft, misappropriation or unauthorized use of your Account, login details, password or other security features. Any undue delay in notifying us may not only affect the security of your Account but may result in you being liable for any losses as a result where your failure to notify us is intentional or grossly negligent. If you suspect that your Account was accessed by someone else, you should also contact the police and report the incident.

We may suspend your Account or otherwise restrict its functionality on reasonable grounds relating to the security of the Account or any of its security features or if we reasonably suspect that an unauthorised or fraudulent use of your Account has occurred or that any of its security features have been compromised. We will notify you of any suspension or restriction and of the reasons for such suspension or restriction in advance or, where we are unable to do so, immediately after the suspension or restriction has been imposed, unless notifying you would be unlawful or compromise our reasonable security interests. We will lift the suspension and/or the restriction as soon as practicable after the reasons for the suspension and/or restriction have ceased to exist.

If we think your Account is at risk of fraud or a security threat, we will use the fastest and most secure way of contacting you using the details you have provided to tell you what you need to do to help deal with that risk.

You must take all reasonable care to ensure that your e-mail account(s) are secure and only accessed by you, as your e-mail address may be used to reset passwords or to communicate with you about the security of your Account. In case any of the e-mail addresses registered with your Accounts are compromised, you should without undue delay after becoming aware of this contact Customer Service and also contact your e-mail service provider.

Irrespective of whether you are using a public, a shared or your own computer to access your Account, you must always ensure that your login details are not stored by the browser or cached or otherwise recorded. You should never use any functionality that allows login details or passwords to be stored by the computer you are using. Additional products or services you use may have additional security requirements and you must familiarize yourself with those as notified to you.
