2. Description of Service
SwiftXchange provides a platform for users to exchange currencies (e.g., United States Dollars (USD) to Ghana Cedis (GHS)). The process generally involves:

- SwiftXchange providing you with bank account details to which you must send your funds in the source currency.
- Upon your initiation of the transfer, the equivalent amount in the target currency, less our applicable fees, is allocated and held in an escrow account managed by us or a designated third-party escrow agent.
- Once we receive confirmation that your funds in the source currency have been successfully received and cleared into our designated account, the funds held in escrow (in the target currency) will be released and disbursed to your selected recipient wallet.
- We will provide you with push notifications and other communications throughout this process to keep you informed.

6. Fees, Payments, and Exchange Rates
- a. Commission Fee: We charge a commission fee of 1.2% of the transaction value for each currency exchange transaction processed through the Service. This fee is capped at a maximum of One Hundred United States Dollars (USD $100.00) or its equivalent in the transaction currency.

Exchange rates fluctuate, and the rate provided at the time of initiation is the rate that will be applied to your transaction upon its successful completion, provided funds are received within the specified timeframe (if any). SwiftXchange determines its exchange rates based on various market factors and may include a margin.

7. Identity Verification (KYC/AML Compliance)
To comply with U.S. laws and regulations, including the Bank Secrecy Act, and to prevent fraud and illicit activities, SwiftXchange is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account or uses our Service. This process is often referred to as "Know Your Customer" (KYC) or Customer Due Diligence (CDD).

8. Escrow Process
- a. Holding of Funds: When you initiate a currency exchange and we provide you with details to send your source currency, we will allocate the equivalent target currency (less fees) to an escrow account. This means the funds are set aside pending confirmation of your payment.
- b. Confirmation of User's Transfer: The funds in escrow will only be released to your designated recipient wallet after SwiftXchange has received irrevocable confirmation that your funds in the source currency have been successfully received into our specified bank account and have cleared. The time taken for confirmation can vary depending on the payment method and banking systems involved.
- c. Release of Funds: Upon successful confirmation, SwiftXchange will instruct the release of the target currency from the escrow account to your designated recipient wallet.
- d. Failed or Delayed Transfers: If your transfer of source currency is not received, is reversed, or fails to clear for any reason, the corresponding funds in escrow will not be released, and the transaction may be cancelled. SwiftXchange is not responsible for delays caused by banking systems or your failure to correctly initiate your transfer.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
- a. Governing Law: These Terms and your use of the Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law principles, and the applicable federal laws of the United States of America.
- b. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement:
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.- i. Informal Resolution: We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against SwiftXchange, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at info@sourcestechnologies.com. We'll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of submission, you or SwiftXchange may bring a formal proceeding.
- ii. Arbitration: You and SwiftXchange agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the Service through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or Commercial Arbitration Rules, if applicable) then in effect. The arbitration will be held in [Insert City, State for Arbitration, e.g., Wilmington, DE, or a major city where your company has primary operations], or any other location we agree to.
- iii. Arbitration Fees and Rules: The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. SwiftXchange will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than $75,000 unless the arbitrator finds your claim frivolous. If you receive an arbitration award that is more favorable than any offer we make to resolve the claim, we will pay you $1,000 in addition to the award. SwiftXchange will not seek its attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.
- iv. Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate: Either you or SwiftXchange may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in [Insert County, State for Small Claims Court, e.g., a county in Delaware or your primary operational location] or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.
- v. NO CLASS ACTIONS: You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren't allowed.
- vi. Opt-Out of Agreement to Arbitrate: You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by sending a letter to SwiftXchange / Source Technologies, Attn: Legal Department - Arbitration Opt-Out, [Your Physical Address], postmarked within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement.
- c. Considerations for Users in Ghana: While these Terms are governed by U.S. law (specifically Delaware law and applicable federal law), if you are a user based in Ghana and a dispute arises, SwiftXchange may, at its sole discretion, be open to exploring mutually agreeable alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, such as mediation, in Ghana before resorting to formal arbitration or court proceedings as outlined above. However, this does not waive the governing law and primary dispute resolution mechanisms specified herein.
[Legal counsel should advise on the enforceability and implications of such a clause and alternative approaches for international users.]
17. General Provisions

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published by us on the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and SwiftXchange concerning the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic) between you and SwiftXchange with respect to the Service.
