To use the Services, you must provide us with some of your personal information and register an Account via the App.
- You must satisfy the following eligibility criteria to qualify to open and use a Grineo Account:
- you are an individual person; and
- you are aged eighteen (18) years or older and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms in the jurisdiction in which you reside; and

- To create an Account, you must submit:
- your contact details such as your first name, last name, and date of birth; and
- and any other information we may request to identify you or verify your Account, including (but not limited to) your address, identity document and photo or likeness.
- All personal information you provide through the Platform will be collected, handled and used in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
- You agree to keep your Account information accurate and complete. You will not be able to use the Platform or our Services if you provide invalid, expired or incorrect information.
- It is important you keep your App, Account and passwords secure. This means that you must not write down any password either on something you carry with you or share your password with any other person.
- You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for any activity that occurs through your Account and you will not sell, transfer, license or assign your Account to anyone else. You agree that you will not create an Account for another person, and will not possess more than one Account, unless permitted by us in writing.
-
Order
- You must ensure that any Order submitted is complete and accurate, and you consent to the execution of such Orders through the Grineo App. We are not required to verify the accuracy, authenticity or validity of any Order and will not monitor or reject Orders on the basis that they are, or appear to be, duplicates. However, if we are in doubt as to the accuracy, authenticity or validity of an Order, we may refuse to act upon or defer acting upon any Order, or seek further information with respect to the Order.
- Orders are irrevocable and therefore once an Order has been submitted, you have no right to rescind or withdraw it without our written consent. Your Order is not deemed to be received by us until it has been received by our server. Our record of all Orders will be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes.
- By submitting an Order you are authorising us to initiate the Transaction in relation to your Account. We are therefore authorised to credit or debit (or provide settlement information to third parties for the purposes of the third party crediting or debiting) your Digital Wallet or User Wallet in Digital Currency in accordance with your Orders. If you have insufficient Digital Currency in your Account to effect a Transaction (i.e. less than the required amount to settle the Transaction and to pay all the fees associated with the Transaction), then we have the right to refuse to effect any Transaction. It is your responsibility to hold sufficient Digital Currency credited in your Account.
- You are aware that Orders and information transmitted on the Platform or by email are generally transmitted via the internet and may be routed via public infrastructure which are not specifically protected. We cannot guarantee that the Orders and information transmitted will be completely protected against unauthorised access, and you accept the associated risks. You are also aware that due to the technological features of Digital Currencies, your transaction information in relation to Digital Currency may be stored on a blockchain, and therefore will be public and viewable by anyone.
- We do not own or control the underlying software protocols which govern the operation of Digital Currency. Generally, the underlying protocols are “open source” and anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute them. We assume no responsibility for the operation of the underlying protocols and we do not guarantee the functionality or security of network operations. You acknowledge and accept the risk that underlying software protocols relating to any Digital Currency you store in your Digital Wallet may change.
- Whenever you use the Grineo Debit Card to make a payment pursuant to the Grineo Debit Card Terms and Conditions, you also submit an Order for a Transaction under these Terms
-
Transactions
- You may enter into Transactions which may or may not be facilitated by us.
- We may rely on third party servicers or public blockchains, and do not represent or warrant that any Transaction will be completed successfully or within a specific time period.
- You can only transfer from and withdraw Digital Currency to your User Wallet and represent that each User Wallet is owned or registered in your name and any Digital Currency is beneficially owned by you.
- Prior to opening an Account or acting on your Orders, we may conduct checks for the purposes of preventing fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing and other financial crimes, and as required by Applicable Law. This may mean you are prevented or delayed from carrying out a Transaction until those checks are completed to our reasonable satisfaction in order to comply with our regulatory requirements.
- You acknowledge that, due to the volatility of Digital Currencies, and the timing of public blockchains, including variable block times, network congestion and slippage, your Orders may not be executed at the market price prevailing at the time of your Order to us. While we will endeavour to obtain the best available price for any Digital Currency we supply for any Transaction, we cannot guarantee that we will obtain the best available price and will use our best endeavours to supply the Digital Currency at a reasonable market price, determined in our absolute discretion. You will remain on risk at all times for any price movements relating to your Digital Currency from the time we enter into a Transaction with you.
- Unsupported Digital Currencies
- You should never attempt to send us Digital Currency which is not supported by Grineo or send Digital Currency to a Digital Wallet which does not support the relevant Digital Currency, as doing so may result in total loss of your Digital Currency. Grineo does not accept any liability for loss of Digital Currency sent by you to a wrong or incompatible Digital Wallet.
- Grineo may in its sole discretion terminate support for any Digital Currency and, where possible, will give you reasonable advance notice of any such termination subject to Applicable Laws and legal, regulatory and compliance requirements. In case of termination of support for a Digital Currency, you must withdraw or transfer the Digital Currency from your Account during such notice period, otherwise you may lose the Digital Currency and Grineo will not be responsible to reimburse you such Digital Currency.
- You are responsible for the control and use of your Account. As such, we will assume that you have authorised any Order sent from your Account unless we are notified otherwise. It is important that you monitor your Account History to ensure any unauthorised or suspicious activity on your Account is identified and notified to us as soon as possible. We are not responsible for any Claim or Losses resulting from a Transaction executed as a result of an unauthorised Order unless you have notified us in accordance with this clause.
- To facilitate compliance with global industry standards for data retention, you agree to permit us (but agree to not require us) to keep a record of all Transaction information for the lifetime of your Account as long as it is required to fulfil their intended purposes, or such other period as prescribed by any Applicable Law. Please review our Privacy Policy for more information on how we collect and use data relating to the use and performance of our Platform and the Services.
- When you use the Grineo Debit Card (issued by Hay Limited) to make a payment at merchants (in-store or online) or via an ATM, Grineo will treat this transaction as a Transaction.
- You acknowledge that restrictions apply to your ability to transfer or withdraw Digital Currency from a Digital Wallet that has been linked to a Grineo Debit Card. Once a Grineo Debit Card has been linked to a Digital Wallet within your Account, you can only withdraw and spend the Digital Currency in that Digital Wallet using your Grineo Debit Card to make ATM cash withdrawals or as a payment method at merchants that accept Visa debit cards. You cannot instruct us to execute any other kind of Transaction from a Digital Wallet that has been linked to a Grineo Debit Card.
- You acknowledge that once an Order is accepted by Grineo and a Transaction occurs, Grineo will convert the requisite amount of Digital Currency for the Transaction from your Available Balance into Fiat Currency and will temporary hold these funds at an authorised deposit-taking institution (ADI). The funds are then transferred via bank accounts held by Hay Limited at ADIs to the relevant merchant, with the Transaction being settled by Visa.
- You acknowledge that your Available Balance will be updated in real time to reflect any Orders from your Grineo Account that have been approved by Grineo.
- In limited circumstances, we may process your Order and execute a Transaction that results in your Grineo Account having a Negative Balance. This may occur where, for example, you use your Grineo Card to make:
- a Transaction which results in a temporary holding charge being made to your Grineo Card where the full Transaction amount is only charged to the Card subsequently; or
- a foreign currency Transaction where the exchange rate changes between the time the Transaction is authorised and settlement of the same.
- If your Account has a Negative Balance for any reason, the Negative Balance shall be immediately due and payable by you to Grineo without further notice to you. Further, we may, in our sole discretion, suspend your Grineo Account (including any Digital Wallet associated with the Account) and Grineo Debit Card until you have discharged the Negative Balance and returned your Available Balance to zero or more.
- You acknowledge and agree that Grineo may treat any failure to discharge a Negative Balance as a breach of Clause 5.14 and, if you fail to discharge any Negative Balance within 30 days from the time incurred, Grineo may terminate your Account, Grineo Debit Card and your access to the Platform in accordance with clause 27.2.
- You are prohibited from using the Platform or the Services to make Transactions in connection with an Interactive Gambling Service, including transferring Digital Currency to an Interactive Gambling Service.
-
Fees
- You agree to pay all applicable fees in connection with your use of the Services as set out on the Fees and Charges page on our Website, or otherwise communicated to you in any relevant communications.
- You authorise us to deduct all applicable fees, commissions, interest, charges and other sums that you owe from your Account under these Terms in accordance with the method of calculation set out on our Fees and Charges page. If you owe us an amount in one Digital Currency and do not have sufficient assets in that Digital Currency, we may deduct the sums owed in another Digital Currency to effect payment (in which case we will convert the Digital Currency you hold into the Digital Currency in which the sums owed to us are denominated (or the Fiat Currency equivalent), at the rate currently offered on the Platform or at such other commercially reasonable rate as we may determine). In the event that there is insufficient Digital Currency in your Account, you acknowledge that any amount due and payable from you under this clause is a debt immediately due and owing by you to us in such amount and form (whether in the form of a Digital Currency or otherwise) as we may determine, acting in a commercially reasonable manner.
- In addition to our fees, we may also include a “spread” within our quoted Digital Currency prices. Your continued use of the Services constitutes your express consent to the application of such spread.
- Merchants and financial institutions may also impose fees or surcharges which are separate to the fees and charges charged by Grineo. You acknowledge that we have no control over these third party fees and that we cannot challenge these fees once a Transaction has been approved by you.
- From time to time, we may also make changes to the fees set out in the Fees and Charges page on our Website, which includes introducing new fees and/or charges. If we increase any fee, we will give you seven (7) days’ notice in advance of any change being made. If you do not wish to accept the changes, you are free to close your Account or discontinue your use of the Services. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you have accepted the change and your continued access to or use of the Platform and/or the Services will be deemed acceptance of the updated fees and charges.

We are not responsible for any Losses that arise to you where this occurs. Where we can, we will let you know why we have stopped the transaction or froze the Grineo Account. However, in some cases our legal obligations will stop us from being able to tell you and failing to inform you of the reasons is not a breach by us of these Terms.
