TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT

THE FOLLOWING ACCOUNT AGREEMENT DESCRIBES THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN WHICH CommerceCoinz, Ltd., (CCoinz) e-wallet OFFERS YOU ACCESS TO ITS SERVICES.

I. Description of the Service

CCoinz provides a financial platform that facilitates person-to-merchant financial transactions (“Payments”) for registered customers (“Users”) in the following ways:

1. You will purchase e-tokens from CCoinz e-wallet and maintain them in your CCoinz account to be further sent to participating recipient's. CCoinz will transfer a Payment from your account (the account of a Payment sender) ("Sender") to the account of a Payment recipient ("Recipient") upon electronic notification of the transaction. A User may initiate a Payment by (i) using the CCoinz web site to make a Payment to a Recipient ("Web Payment"), or (ii) using an CCoinz link located on Merchant websites to make a transfer ("Merchant Transfer")

2. Recipient will not be able to spend any money received until CCoinz receives electronic notification of a Payment and transfers funds to the Recipient.

3. Electronic notification of a Payment occurs (i) immediately when a User initiates a Web Payment.

4. Successful transfer of funds occurs (i) immediately upon electronic notification of a Payment, if the Sender's account balance is greater than or equal to the amount of a Payment or (ii) when a charge to the Sender's credit card is accepted during electronic authorization, if the Sender's account balance is less than the amount of a Payment and the Sender had elected to fund their account with a credit card.

5. Once a Payment is made it is non-reversible and non-refundable.

6. A User may elect to withdraw all or part of the balance of his or her account by direct deposit into the User's bank account or by physical check sent to the User's street address. Direct deposits to a User's bank account will only be processed after proper authorization has been received by CCoinz. Such authorization will require verification of the User's email address, bank routing number and bank account number. Physical checks will only be issued upon verification of the User's email address.
