2. About PinovX and Regulatory Context

PinovX — short for Pinov eXpress — provides streamlined, compliance-aligned solutions that simplify access to digital-asset and fiat settlement, enabling customers to convert and move value efficiently and securely.

The Services are provided through:

  • Pinov Inc. (Canada) — operating as a Money Services Business (MSB) subject to Canadian law and FINTRAC oversight; and
  • Pinov Pty Ltd (Australia) — operating as a Digital Currency Exchange / remittance provider subject to Australian law and AUSTRAC oversight.
Service availability may vary by product type, jurisdiction, customer profile, and risk considerations. Nothing in these Terms constitutes financial, investment, or legal advice.

3. Eligibility, Verification & Compliance

3.1 Eligibility, Verification & Compliance Obligations

Users must satisfy eligibility criteria and complete identity verification, sanctions screening, wallet validation, and ongoing monitoring in accordance with AML/CTF obligations and PinovX risk-management policies.

PinovX may delay, restrict, refuse, or review transactions or account activity for fraud-prevention, sanctions or legal requirements, regulatory reporting, or operational or security concerns. Additional information may be requested before processing transactions.

3.2 Account Identity, Onboarding, and KYC Re-Use

PinovX operates a unified identity and onboarding framework across its PinovX (Pinov eXpress) application. Customers are required to maintain one individual account only, and must use the same email address when accessing OTC platform.

Where a customer has successfully completed Know-Your-Customer (KYC) identity verification on PinovX app platform, that verification shall be recognized and applied across the PinovX ecosystem. Accordingly:

  • Customers who have completed KYC within the PinovX application shall not be required to repeat verification when accessing the Web OTC platform, provided that they register or sign in using the same email address associated with their verified account.
  • Customers are strictly prohibited from creating, maintaining, or attempting to create or maintain duplicate, multiple, or alternative accounts for the purpose of bypassing identity verification, transaction limits, or other controls.
PinovX reserves the right, in accordance with its Terms of Use and applicable laws and regulations, to restrict, suspend, or close any accounts found to be duplicated, fraudulent, or otherwise non-compliant, and to take any further action deemed necessary to protect the integrity of its services.

4. Service Model, Safeguarding of Funds & Settlement

4.1 Broker / Dealer–Style Service Model (Not an Exchange)

PinovX is not a public digital-asset exchange and does not operate an order-book or matching engine. Transactions are fulfilled through a broker / dealer–style execution and settlement model using approved liquidity providers, brokerage counterparties, and settlement partners. References to "execution," "conversion," or "settlement" refer to brokerage-style fulfillment and do not imply operation of a trading venue.

4.2 Safeguarding of Fiat Funds (CAD Wallets)

Where fiat funds are received in connection with CAD balances or transactions, such funds are held in safeguarded, segregated accounts provided through one or more authorized banking and payment-services partners (which may include Digital Commerce Bank from time to time). These accounts are:

  • separate from PinovX operational funds; and
  • used solely for customer settlement and reconciliation purposes.

PinovX does not lend, pledge, or rehypothecate customer fiat balances. Protection is applied in accordance with requirements applicable to the relevant financial institution or payments partner. While no financial system is entirely risk-free, PinovX implements operational, financial, and compliance controls designed to help protect customer funds.

4.3 Crypto Brokerage & Wallet Settlement

Digital-asset transactions are executed via approved brokerage execution systems and are settled directly to the customer's nominated and verified wallet address, subject to sanctions screening, compliance and risk review, destination-wallet validation, and fraud-prevention and operational checks.

PinovX does not take ongoing custody of customer digital assets except where temporary handling is operationally required during processing. Customers are responsible for ensuring that the wallet address provided is valid, compatible, accurate, and under their control.

4.4 Wallet Funding — Interac e-Transfer® (Canada Only)

Where available, customers may add funds to their PinovX wallet using Interac e-Transfer® or other approved CAD deposit methods. Customers are responsible for:

  • sending transfers from an account in their own name matching their verified profile;
  • using the correct deposit email, references, and instructions; and
  • verifying details before submission.
Transfers sent from third-party or mismatched accounts may be delayed, frozen, rejected, or irrecoverable. Funds are credited subject to compliance review and reconciliation, and timing is not guaranteed.

Fees relating to CAD deposits and withdrawals are displayed in-app at the time of transaction and form part of these Terms by reference.

4.5 Crypto Deposits for Fiat Wallet Settlement

Customers may send digital assets to a designated deposit address to receive fiat value in their PinovX wallet or payout account. Settlement occurs only after network confirmation, sanctions and compliance checks, and reconciliation of account and wallet details.

Transfers sent to incorrect, unsupported, expired, or unauthorized addresses may be permanently lost. PinovX is not responsible for losses caused by customer error or incompatible networks.

4.6 Security, Account Integrity & Customer Responsibility

Customers are solely responsible for the security of their devices, email, wallets, banking credentials, Interac profiles, and authentication methods. PinovX is not liable for loss or unauthorized activity resulting from hacking, phishing, SIM-swap, malware, device compromise, unauthorized bank or Interac access, credential sharing, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Reporting suspected fraud does not guarantee recovery of funds.

4.7 Customer Errors, Mismatched Names & Failure to Verify

Customers must review and confirm all transaction details prior to submission. PinovX is not responsible for losses arising from:

  • incorrect or incomplete recipient or wallet details;
  • payments sent from names or accounts that do not match the customer's verified identity;
  • third-party transfers submitted on a customer's behalf; or
  • failure to cross-check transaction information.
Funds sent from mismatched or third-party sources may be permanently unrecoverable, and PinovX bears no liability for such losses.

4.8 'Send Money' Feature — Currency Availability

The Send Money feature currently supports transactions in Canadian Dollars (CAD) only. Availability may be limited by corridor, method, or recipient eligibility. Additional currencies may be introduced and will be communicated in-app when available.

4.9 AUD Settlement (Non-Custodial — NPP / PayID / BSB)

PinovX does not custody AUD balances. When a customer sells digital assets and requests settlement in AUD, funds are settled out via the Australian New Payments Platform (NPP) to the customer's nominated PayID or BSB + account number, subject to compliance review and payment-rail availability. Applicable fees are displayed in-app.

5. Fees, Rates, Limits & Settlement Timing

Applicable fees, spreads, and limits are displayed in the PinovX platform at the time of transaction and are incorporated into these Terms by reference. Fees charged may include blockchain network costs, liquidity provisioning, transaction routing, and operational overhead required to successfully process transactions on supported blockchain networks, and such fees may exceed the direct on-chain cost in certain cases. Settlement timing depends on banking rails, blockchain conditions, compliance checks, liquidity, and operational factors.

Additional administrative or network costs may apply in cases of adjustments, reversals, or refunds.

6. Transaction Variance & Payment Discrepancy Policy

PinovX reconciles all incoming payments and asset transfers. Where a material difference exists between the quoted amount and the amount received, PinovX may adjust settlement, or cancel or reverse the transaction and, where appropriate, return funds or assets.

Refunds may include deductions for reasonable administrative, operational, network, blockchain, or processing costs.

Transactions and refunds are subject to compliance review and operational feasibility. PinovX is not obligated to process a transaction where discrepancies present operational, compliance, financial, or security risk. PinovX may apply internal tolerance thresholds that are not publicly disclosed.

7. Prohibited & Restricted Use

Users must not use the Services for unlawful, fraudulent, or prohibited purposes, including money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, or activities contrary to law or PinovX risk policy.

PinovX may decline, block, or report suspicious activity.

8. Suspension, Holds & Termination

PinovX may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the Services, or place holds on balances or transactions, where required due to breach of these Terms, suspicious activity, sanctions or legal requirements, or operational or security risk.

Where legally permitted, notice may be provided.

9. Risk Disclosures & Limitation of Liability

Digital-asset and currency transactions carry risks including volatility, irreversibility, and reliance on third-party networks and systems. Users accept these risks.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PinovX is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss, including loss arising from market movements, network outages, third-party failures, or events beyond our reasonable control. Nothing limits liability where prohibited by law.

10. Complaints & Dispute Resolution

Support and complaints may be directed to support@pinovx.com. PinovX will respond in accordance with applicable complaint-handling obligations.

Additional escalation rights may exist under Canadian or Australian regulatory frameworks.

11. Privacy

Personal information is handled under the PinovX Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

12. Changes to These Terms

PinovX may update these Terms periodically. Continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

13. Website & Platform Terms of Use

If these Website Terms of Use conflict with the Terms of Service, the Terms of Service prevail. Users must not copy, scrape, reverse-engineer, or interfere with the platform.

Availability is not guaranteed.

14. Governing Law

  • For customers located in Canada, these Terms are governed by the laws of Canada and the Province of Ontario, subject to applicable federal legislation.
  • For customers located in Australia, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New South Wales, subject to applicable Commonwealth legislation.
