Risks

Before using the Platform, you should ensure that you understand the risks involved in buying, selling or trading digital currencies. Digital currency markets are volatile and prices can fluctuate significantly, which could result in sudden and significant increases or decreases in the value of your assets. This market volatility and other risks involved in buying, selling or trading digital currencies are explained on the risk warning page of the Skyewallet website. There may be additional risks not identified in these Terms or in the risk warning page.

You should carefully assess whether your financial situation and risk tolerance is suitable for buying, selling or trading digital currency. You accept and agree that you are solely responsible for any decision to buy, sell, trade or otherwise hold or deal with digital currency

Identity Verification

Skyewallet implements and maintains the highest standards of Know Your Customer (“KYC”) processes and controls as part of our commitment to combating fraud and assisting in the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing. While our industry is largely unregulated, Skyewallet voluntarily adheres to local and international compliance standards in relation to customer due diligence, as explained on the Compliance page of the Skyewallet website.
To ensure we meet these standards, our customers are required to provide certain personal details and documents when opening a Skye wallet Account (“Identity Verification”). The nature and extent of the Identity Verification required will depend upon which of our supported countries you are resident in, and the deposit and withdrawal limits that you wish to apply to your Skye wallet Account. In certain circumstances, Skyewallet may also perform enhanced due diligence (“EDD”) procedures in relation to your Skyewallet Account. You accept and agree that you will remain subject to such procedures at all times.
Skyewallet reserves the right to, at any time:

  • Restrict or suspend your Skye wallet Account when we, in our sole discretion, consider it necessary to carry out further Identity Verification and/or EDD; or
  • Terminate your Skyewallet Account if you provide, or we suspect you have provided, false information or refuse to provide information we require for Identity Verification and/or EDD.

You accept and agree that there may be delays in accessing your Skyewallet Account, or in carrying out transactions through your Skye wallet Account, while we undertake any Identity Verification and/or EDD procedures.

Retention of information. Skye wallet is required to retain certain information and documentation obtained as part of the Identity Verification and EDD procedures. These requirements apply even when you have terminated your relationship with Skye wallet. We reserve the right to keep such information and documentation for the required period and you accept and agree that information and documentation you provide to Skyewallet may be retained by us, including following the closure of your Skye wallet Account.

The Skye Wallet

Skye wallet allows you to send, receive and store digital currency (together, “Skyewallet Transactions”).

Supported Digital Currencies. The Skye wallet Wallet is only available in relation to the digital currencies that Skyewallet, in its sole discretion, decides to support (“Supported Digital Currency” or “Supported Digital Currencies”). The Supported Digital Currencies may change from time to time. Under no circumstances should you attempt to carry out a Skyewallet Transaction in relation to a digital currency other than a Supported Digital Currency. In particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you accept and agree that you will have no access, entitlement or claim:

  • to any digital currency sent to a receive address associated with your Skyewallet Wallet where that digital currency is not a Supported Digital Currency; or
  • to any digital currency sent to a receive address associated with your Skyewallet Wallet, where that receive address is associated with another digital currency. For example, you will have no access, entitlement or claim to any Bitcoin Cash (BCH) sent to a Bitcoin (BTC) receive address.
Local Currency in your Skyewallet. Local Currency deposited into your Skye wallet is solely for:

(1) the purchase of Supported Digital Currencies and/or
(2) Withdrawal to an approved bank account (see Withdrawals).

In certain countries we may also allow you to purchase specific goods and/or services from selected third parties using your Local Currency balance (for example, Airtime in South Africa). You accept and agree that any such purchase will be subject to these Terms.

Proceeds from the sale of Supported Digital Currencies will be credited to your Local Currency Skye wallet, less any applicable fees (as explained in Fees, and on the Fees and Features page of the Skyewallet website). Skyewallet does not pay interest on Local Currency or Supported Digital Currency balances held in your Skye wallet.

Transaction instructions. Skyewallet will process Skyewallet Transactions according to your instructions. You accept and agree that Skye wallet does not:

Guarantee the identity of any user, receiver, or other party to a Skye wallet Transaction. You are solely responsible for ensuring all transaction details are correct, and you should carefully verify all transaction information prior to submitting transaction instructions to Skyewallet; Have any control over, or any liability in relation to, the delivery, quality or any other aspect of any goods or services that you may buy from or sell to any third party. Skyewallet shall not be responsible for, and will take no action in relation to, ensuring that any buyer or seller you transact with using your Skyewallet completes the relevant transaction or has the requisite authority to do so.

Receiving digital currency. You may receive Supported Digital Currency into your Skyewallet by providing the sender with a receive address generated in your Skyewallet. Your Skye wallet will only be credited with Supported Digital Currency sent to a receive address generated through your Skye wallet and associated with that Supported Digital Currency. For example, your Skye wallet will be credited with BTC when it is sent to an BTC receive address generated through your Skyewallet.

Funds received in error. In the event you know, suspect, or should reasonably know or suspect, that any Local Currency or digital currency has been credited to your Skye wallet (or to any bank account) in error, you must immediately notify Skye wallet of the error by submitting a notification through the Skye wallet customer support. You accept and agree that you have no claim or entitlement to any Local Currency or digital currency received in error, and must immediately return such funds in accordance with the instructions received from Skye wallet.



Deposits

Where your identity has been verified, you may deposit Local Currency into your Skyewallet by depositing funds into a Skyewallet verified merchant bank account (a “Deposit”).

Details of the Skyewallet verified merchant bank account into which you must make the Deposit will be provided to you by Skyewallet, and any such bank account will be held and operated by a Skyewallet verified merchant operating in your country or region. You accept and agree that any information you provide to Skyewallet may be shared with such local entity, which will process Local Currency transactions in accordance with Skyewallet’s instructions.

The payment methods by which you may Deposit Local Currency will depend upon the country you are in, and are set out on the Fees and Features page of the Skyewallet website (for the purposes of these Terms, the “Supported Deposit Methods”). Where you have made a Deposit using a Supported Deposit Method, and have adhered to the Deposit Requirements (explained below), your Deposit will be allocated to your Skyewallet.

Due to legal and operational constraints, you must strictly adhere to the following Deposit requirements (the “Deposit Requirements”):

  • You may only make a Deposit from a bank account (or other Supported Deposit Method) held in your own name. You must not allow any third party to make a deposit into your Skyewallet; You may only Deposit Local Currency from a bank account (or other Supported Deposit Method) compatible with the deposit methods available in your country or region;
  • You may only make Deposits denominated in the Local Currency associated with your Skyewallet For example, in you have a NGN wallet, you must only make deposits in Nigerian Naira;
  • You must not use cash or cheques to make a Deposit. Skyewallet reserves the right to refuse any Deposit made by cash or cheque. Should Skyewallet decide, in its sole discretion, to allow a Deposit by cash or cheque on an exceptional basis, the allocation of such Deposit will be delayed to allow fraud and compliance checks to take place, and a Cash Deposit Penalty (see the Fees and Features page of the Skyewallet website) may be deducted from it. Any Skyewallet Account that receives more than one cash or cheque deposit may, at Skyewallet’s sole discretion, be suspended indefinitely.

You agree to abide by the Deposit Requirements and agree and accept that failure to do so may cause delay in or failure of any Deposit reflecting in your Skyewallet Wallet, and/or restriction, suspension or termination of your Skyewallet Account.

Allocation of deposits. When you request to make a Deposit through your Skyewallet, you will be provided with a Reference Number or Unique Deposit Amount. To permit timely and successful allocation of a Deposit to your Skyewallet, you must use the Reference Number or Unique Deposit Amount when you make an online bank transfer or use any other Supported Deposit Method. Skyewallet will not be responsible for any delay in or non-allocation of Deposits to your Skyewallet where you fail to specify the required Reference Number or Unique Deposit Amount.

Deposits may take time to reflect in your Skyewallet due to bank processing times, operational processes, and/or failure by you to adhere to the Deposit Requirements. Under no circumstances will Skyewallet have any liability to you in relation to any delay in or failure of a Deposit reflecting in your Skyewallet.

Skyewallet will make all reasonable efforts to allocate Deposits that do not meet the Deposit Requirements. However, any Deposits less than the Minimum Unallocated Deposit Amount that cannot be allocated within a one month period will be retained by Skyewallet and you accept and agree that you shall have no further claim or entitlement to such funds. The Minimum Unallocated Deposit Amount shall until otherwise determined by Skyewallet be NGN999.00 or the equivalent in your Local Currency.

Withdrawals

Where you have added your local bank account details to your Skyewallet Account, you may withdraw funds from your Skyewallet to your bank account (a “Withdrawal”). Skyewallet will process Withdrawals in accordance with your instructions. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any Withdrawal instructions provided to Skyewallet, including the relevant bank account number, are complete and correct and you accept and agree that under no circumstances will Skyewallet be under any obligation to reverse or amend any Withdrawal.

Skyewallet will make all reasonable efforts to process Withdrawals each business day, in accordance with the Deposit and Withdrawal Schedule on the Skyewallet website, but you accept and agree that Skyewallet provides no guarantee in relation to the Withdrawal processing period.

Withdrawals to the bank account of any third party are expressly prohibited. You agree not to make, or attempt to make, any Withdrawal of funds from your Skye wallet Wallet to the bank account of a third party and accept that any such Withdrawal may be refused and/or result in the restriction, suspension or termination of your Skyewallet Account.

Fees

Skyewallet reserves the right to change our fees at any time and will update the Fees and Features page accordingly. In certain circumstances, and at our sole discretion, Skyewallet may notify selected customers of a specific fee change, where we consider a change to be of particular relevance to such customers.

Send and Receive fees. You may be charged a fee to send Supported Digital Currency from your Skyewallet and/or to receive Supported Digital Currency into your Skyewallet. Fees will apply where Supported Digital Currency is sent to or received from a Supported Digital Currency address (e.g. a Bitcoin address); no fees will apply where Supported Digital Currency is sent to or received from a mobile telephone number or email address. Please see the Fees and Features page of the Skyewallet website for further information on send and receive fees.

Deposit and Withdrawal fees. All Withdrawals from your Skyewallet Wallet will incur a fee. Such fees differ by country and are set out on the Fees and Features page of the Skyewallet website. Some Deposits made using a Supported Deposit Method may incur a fee, as set out on the Fees and Features page, and cash Deposits may incur a Cash Deposit Penalty (see Deposits). Such fees will be displayed in your transaction history upon completion of the transaction.

Instant Buy and Sell fees. The quoted exchange rate in relation to any buy or sell order placed using the Buy and Sell service will include an amount to reflect Skyewallet’s facilitation of the relevant trade, the percentage of which will vary with market conditions.

Account Security

Skyewallet takes security very seriously. However, you are solely responsible for:

  • Maintaining adequate security and control over your Skyewallet Account sign-in details, including but not limited to any passwords, personal identification numbers (PINs), API keys, or any other codes associated with your Skyewallet Account;
  • Keeping your contact details up to date so that you can receive any notices or alerts we may send to you in relation to security (see Electronic communications);
  • Maintaining security and control over the email mailbox, phone number and devices associated with your Skyewallet Account.


Failure to take the above measures, and any other security measures available to you, may result in unauthorised access to your Skyewallet Account and the loss or theft of any digital currency and/or Local Currency balances held in your Skyewallet or any linked bank account(s). Skyewallet shall have no liability to you for or in connection with any unauthorised access to your Skyewallet, where such unauthorised access was due to no fault of Skyewallet, and/or any failure by you to act upon any notice or alert that we send to you.

The security of your Skyewallet Account may be compromised, or interruption caused to it, by phishing, spoofing or other attack, computer viruses, spyware, scareware, Trojan horses, worms or other malware that may affect your computer or other equipment. Skyewallet strongly recommends that you regularly use reputable virus screening and prevention software and remain alert to the fact that SMS, email services and search engines are vulnerable to spoofing and phishing attacks.

Care should be taken in reviewing messages purporting to originate from Skyewallet and, should you have any uncertainty regarding the authenticity of any communication, you should log in to your Skyewallet Account through the Skyewallet website (specifically, https://www.skyewallet.com), and not any other domain name or website purporting to be, or to be related to, Skyewallet) to review any transactions or required actions. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you accept and agree that you have full responsibility for all activity that occurs in or through your Skyewallet Account and accept all risks of any unauthorised or authorised access to your Skyewallet Account.

Service Availability

While we will do everything we can to provide continuous operations, Skyewallet does not provide any warranty in relation to the availability of the Platform or your Skyewallet Account. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we do not guarantee continuous access to the Platform or your Skyewallet Account and make no representation that the Platform, Skyewallet API, your Skyewallet Account and/or any products or services offered therein will be available without interruption; or that there will be no delays, failures, errors, omissions or loss of transmitted information.

Transactions On Digital Currency Networks

When you use your Skyewallet Account to send or receive digital currency, the transaction must be confirmed and recorded in the public ledger associated with the relevant digital currency network (e.g. the Bitcoin network). That digital currency network is solely responsible for verifying and confirming any such transactions. Skyewallet cannot confirm, cancel or reverse transactions on a digital currency network, other than confirming to you that the network has completed the transaction. You accept and agree that:

  • Once submitted to a digital currency network, a transaction will be unconfirmed for a period of time pending sufficient confirmation of the transaction by the network. A transaction is not complete while it is in a pending state. Funds associated with transactions that are in a pending state will be designated accordingly, and will not be included in your Skyewallet balance or be available to you to conduct transactions;
  • When you send digital currency from your Skyewallet Account, you are authorising us to submit your transaction request to the relevant digital currency network. Once a transaction request has been submitted to the relevant digital currency network, the network will automatically complete or reject the request and neither you or Skyewallet will be able to cancel or otherwise modify your transaction.
  • Digital currency networks are operated by decentralised networks of independent third parties. They are not owned, controlled or operated by Skyewallet so we cannot ensure that any transaction details you submit will be confirmed by the relevant digital currency network. You agree that any transaction details you submit may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed, by the digital currency network used to process the transaction.

Network protocols and operating rules. The underlying software protocols that govern the operation of the Supported Digital Currencies are open source. Accordingly, anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute them and Skyewallet has no ownership of or control over these protocols. By using the Platform, you accept and agree that:

  • Skyewallet is not responsible for the operation of any digital currency network’s underlying software protocols and makes no guarantee as to their availability, security, or functionality; the underlying software protocols are subject to sudden changes in operating rules (known as “forks”), and that such forks may materially affect the value, function, and/or name of any digital currency you store in your Skyewallet Account. Should a fork occur, Skyewallet may, with or without notice to you, temporarily suspend our operations and, in our sole discretion, decide whether or not to support either branch of the forked protocol entirely; and
  • In the event Skyewallet decides not to support a branch of a forked protocol, you will not be given access to the assets on that fork. Those assets will be securely held by Skyewallet and we will not buy or sell them.

Indemnity And Limitation Of Liability

Neither we nor our directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for any losses, damages, costs or expenses incurred or suffered by you under these Terms unless arising directly from our or their respective gross negligence, wilful default or fraud.
