This Agreement is binding upon each Account Holder, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, agents, successors and assigns.

OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

i.

Forms
Any person or entity requesting a new account with the bank will be required to complete the relevant application form satisfactory to Bank. This will be in addition to various due diligence documents required by the bank in this regard. This clause will apply to all types of accounts offered by IMBL.

The Bank may rely upon any signature on the form as verification for the payment or receipt of funds and in all other transactions in connection with the Account. The Account Holder agrees to provide a new signature upon request from the Bank.

All individuals and legal entities globally may apply to open an account with the bank. All applications are subject to a full compliance review and approval. Opening or closing an account is at the sole discretion of the Bank.

ii.

Verification Checks
International Merchant Bank Limited may rely on the Applicant for the business services requested. As the Account Holder request services, their personal creditworthiness is a factor in the evaluation of the application or accommodation for services. By submitting the new account application, the Applicant authorizes International Merchant Bank Limited to investigate and verify the references provided or any other statements or data obtained from the Applicant, or any of the undersigned principals or from any other person pertaining to the Applicant or any of the undersigned principal’s credit or financial responsibility.

If the Application is approved and the International Merchant Bank Limited agrees to provide services to the Applicant, the Bank is authorized to periodically obtain additional consumer credit reports or to perform additional investigations on the Account Holder for evaluating the continuing creditworthiness of the customer. The Account Holder has a right, upon written request, to a complete and accurate disclosure of the nature and scope of the investigation being performed.

iii.

Corporate Accounts
You agree to open a corporate account with the bank for use as a corporate account only and not for any personal reasons whatsoever. A ‘corporation’ typically refers to a limited liability company, a limited company, a corporation or any other legal entity formed and governed by the laws of their jurisdiction. Government organizations and trusts may also fall under this definition. We may verify the existence and validity of the corporation using various documents provided to us as per our “Know Your Customer” (KYC) policy. In this regard we may request additional documentation.

iv.

Due Diligence
The Account Holder hereby authorizes and gives consent to the Bank:

a.

to request any and all reports pertaining to the Account Holder from any source that the Bank in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable for due diligence purposes;

b.

to disclose any information relating to the affairs of the Account Holder to any such sources; and

c.

to transfer any relevant information or reports to the Bank for due diligence purposes in opening and maintaining of the Account with the Bank.

As per our Anti-Money Laundering/Counter-Financing of Terrorism policy, we will conduct due diligence on all ‘Applicants’ and “Authorized Signatories” prior to opening of the account. In some cases, additional documentation may be requested by the bank even after the new account is opened. In this instance, if we do not receive the requested documentation within a reasonable time frame we might prevent account access including all assets and funds. It is agreed by you that any payment not made as a result of this is not our responsibility and we will not be held liable. You will always be informed in writing if any such event occurs with your account.

ACCOUNT ACTIVITY

i.

Incoming deposits
Although the bank does not issue checks or accept cash deposits, you may make electronic deposits into your account by any physical or electronic method offered by the Bank.

To obtain verification regarding the receipt of your deposit by the bank, you may contact the Bank directly or login to your online banking account if set up. If you decide to contact the bank directly you will be subject to an identity verification procedure. There may be instances where the Bank will have to refuse, limit or partially/fully return a deposit. In this case, the Bank shall not be responsible for any resultant loss, liability or expense to you. In the event of an erroneous transfer to your account, brought to the Bank’s attention by any related party, the Bank may immediately deduct this amount from your balance prior to conducting any investigation.

ii.

Right to Refusal of Deposits
The Bank does not accept cash deposits. There may be instances where the Bank will have to refuse, limit or partially/fully return a deposit. In this case, the Bank shall not be responsible for any resultant loss, liability, or expense to you. The bank is also not responsible for any deposits made by you that the Bank does not receive. All deposits are subject to verification including but not limited to a compliance review and adherence to the Bank’s policies and procedures.

2) Withdrawals

i.

General
Assets from your account can generally be withdrawn as soon as they are cleared. Cleared funds in no way represent that the payment was made by the paying financial institution.

Any withdrawals made from your account will be limited to the available balance of your account. Any withdrawal made in excess of your available balance may be refused by the Bank. All withdrawal or transfer requests will require the presentation of a government issued ID (personal and corporate accounts) along with the relevant authorization to make said request (Corporate Accounts only).

USE OF AGENTS

The Bank, in its day-to-day operations, may use services from other banks, financial institutions, digital service providers, banking software providers or any funds transfer method or system collectively referred to as ‘Agents’. These ‘Agents’ are used to provide you with service and in doing so shall be deemed your ‘Agents’.

As such, the Bank will not be liable for:

i.

any loss, liability, or expense incurred to you as a result of an act or omission by an ‘Agent’ beyond the reasonable control of the Bank.

the failure, destruction or late delivery of any instrument, security, certificate, document, instruction or signal of any kind while in transit or while in the possession or control of an ‘Agent’ or person other than the Bank

INTEREST CALCULATIONS

Any interest rate to be paid into your account with the Bank is subject to change based on market conditions and bank policy. There is no limit as to the number of times this interest rate and annual percentage yield (APY) may be changed by the Bank. The Bank calculates interest in all interest-bearing accounts as per the daily balance method. This involves applying the daily periodic rate each day to the available balance in your Account based on a 365-day year. This interest is paid by crediting it into the account. New deposits are eligible to earn interest on the first business day of being cleared and available in your account. An account closure prior to the interest being credited will relieve the Bank from this responsibility.

MINIMUM ACCOUNT BALANCE

Notwithstanding other agreements between the Bank and yourself, the minimum opening balance requirement is as follows:

1)

Personal Account: USD 25,000

2)

Corporate Account: USD 25,000

3)

Private Account: USD 100,000

Any deficiency in this regard may result in fees charged to your account by the Bank. The Bank at its discretion may decide to close the account if the deficiency is not corrected and fees not paid within a reasonable time frame. The Bank will not be liable to you for any loss, liability, or expense incurred as a result of such closure.

FEES

You agree to pay any fees, charges or other costs applied to the balance in your account from time to time. You also authorize the Bank to debit your account with the amount of any such fees, charges or other costs.

It is your responsibility to set up and maintain online access to your account.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

Any foreign currency transaction will be governed by its exchange rate and other ‘Costs’ associated with the transaction. The ‘Costs’ may be defined as commissions and other fees charged to the Bank by counterparties used to facilitate the transaction.

1)

If you do not agree with these terms and conditions, International Merchant Bank Limited ("bank") reserves the right to refuse to execute your instruction at any time and you agree that the Bank will not be liable to you for any loss, liability, or expense incurred as a result of this action. The bank will contact you via telephone or email on the same day and communicate the reason(s) for the rejection.

Authorization

The bank will act on wire transfer payment orders delivered via walk-in, mail, courier, email or other electronic means only and that are made on the bank’s wire transfer request form. All transfer requests will require the presentation of a government issued ID (personal and corporate accounts) along with the relevant authorization to make said request (Corporate Accounts only). In the event of a remote request, you may be contacted electronically or by phone to verify your identity and authorization to conduct the transfer and will be asked to complete the bank’s wire transfer request form. The wire transfer would only be deducted from the account stated on the wire transfer application form. There must be sufficient funds available in the account to cover the wire transfer and all other bank related charges and fees. The Bank will not be liable for its inability to effect a transaction due to insufficient funds or any other irregularity.

Security Procedures

In the event of a remote request, you may be contacted electronically or by phone to verify your identity and authorization to conduct the transfer and will be asked to complete the bank’s wire transfer request form. Any refusal in complying with these requests will result in the Bank refusing to allow the transfer out request. The Bank will not be liable to you for any loss, liability, or expense incurred as a result of such refusal.

The bank may use any means or routes that the bank, at its sole discretion considers suitable for executing a wire transfer request.  An intermediary bank may be used to perform the wire transfer and due diligence may be conducted again if they deem it necessary.

The bank may change these security procedures from time to time. The updated terms would be displayed on the bank’s website at www.imbltd.com and the bank may send written communications to your email.

Cancellation and Amendment

Once the wire transfer order has been accepted, it cannot be cancelled or amended except by mutual agreement. The bank will not be liable for following any instructions received from you and/or any authorized signatories including any errors, omissions, misunderstandings, or instructions from unauthorized parties. These are risks assumed by you the Account Holder. In the event of any error the bank may on the bank’s own initiative, amend the errors or request that the wire transfer be cancelled, and funds be returned to the bank. However, the bank is in no way obligated to do so.

Refund

In the event that the beneficiary does not receive the payment, the ordering client is entitled to a refund. This refund would be issued upon receipt of the returned funds from the corresponding, intermediary and/or beneficiary bank less any expenses associated with the recovery of the funds. The bank would not be responsible for the fluctuation of the exchange rates.

Cut off times

The cut-off time is the latest time each day that the bank can make payment or transfer from an account. Wire transfer requests received after the cut-off time would be processed the next business day. Requests sent on weekends (Saturday & Sunday) and public holidays shall be deemed received on the next banking day.  The bank will process requests within 48 hours after completion of all security procedures. The bank may, at its discretion and its option, extend its cut-off hour.

Indemnification

The Account Holder shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend International Merchant Bank Limited and each of its respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents from and against all claims, demands, actions, suits, petitions, proceedings, judgments, orders and decrees brought, made or rendered against the Bank or any or all of them and all damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the Bank or any or all of them may suffer, incur or sustain by reason of the Bank having accepted instructions pertaining to your account.

The Bank shall not be responsible for liability, loss or damage which may be caused by it acting in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, or rules (including, without limitation, rules and regulations of the various payment systems), or with the terms of the Bank’s agreement with other banks or financial institutions regarding any transaction of business with those banks or institutions notwithstanding that the Account Holder may have given instructions to the contrary.

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

Binding Arbitration

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this contract, including any question regarding its existence, validity, or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by the International Commercial Arbitration Court under the European Arbitration Chamber (Belgium, Brussels, Avenue Louise, 146) according to the Rules of this ICAC, which, as a result of referring to it, is considered as the part of this clause. The number of arbitrators shall be 1. The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be Charlestown, Saint Kitts and Nevis. The language of the proceedings shall be English.

No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than eighty four (84) months past the termination of the user's account.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

6. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Website is at your own risk. You should only access the Website within a secure environment.

7. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at info@imbltd.com.

8. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

9. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
