4. Identity Verification (KYC/AML)
Because Bucx provides regulated financial and payment services, you may be required to complete identity verification (Know Your Customer, or "KYC") before opening an account or accessing certain features. We use trusted third-party identity verification partners to confirm your identity. By using our services, you agree to:
- Provide accurate identifying information and documentation, including government-issued identification
- Complete additional checks where required, such as a live photo or biometric verification
- Allow us and our partners to verify your identity and screen against sanctions and anti-money-laundering (AML) requirements
We may limit, suspend, decline, or reverse transactions, or restrict or close accounts, where verification is incomplete, fails, or where we are required to do so by law or by our partners.
5. Use of Services
Bucx provides financial and payment services including but not limited to:
- A virtual USD account for holding and receiving funds
- Sending and receiving money, including via shareable Bucx Link and payment invoices
- Depositing, holding, sending, and withdrawing stablecoins and other supported cryptocurrencies across supported blockchain networks
- Converting between supported currencies at prevailing exchange rates
- Withdrawals and payouts to supported local bank accounts
You agree to use these services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these terms. Available features may vary based on your location, verification status, and applicable law.
6. Bucx Link and Claim Codes
Bucx Link lets you send funds to someone by sharing a link together with a claim code. When you create a Bucx Link:
- The recipient must enter the correct claim code and provide valid payout details to receive the funds
- Each link has an expiry date, after which it can no longer be claimed
- Funds from unclaimed or expired links are returned to the sender's Bucx balance
- You are responsible for sharing the link and claim code only with your intended recipient — anyone who has both may be able to claim the funds
7. Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Transactions
Where you deposit, hold, send, or receive cryptocurrency through Bucx, you acknowledge and agree that:
- Blockchain transactions are irreversible once broadcast to the network and cannot be cancelled or refunded by Bucx
- You are responsible for providing the correct wallet address and selecting the correct network; funds sent to an incorrect address or network may be permanently lost
- Blockchain networks may charge network (gas) fees, and processing times depend on network conditions outside our control
- The value of cryptocurrencies and stablecoins can fluctuate, and we do not guarantee any particular value or exchange rate
- We rely on third-party blockchain infrastructure and are not responsible for delays, failures, or losses caused by those networks

11. Refunds and Cancellations
Payments, transfers, and completed transactions are generally final. Cryptocurrency and blockchain transactions cannot be reversed once confirmed, and bank payouts sent using the details you provided cannot be recalled by Bucx once processed. You are responsible for the accuracy of all recipient and payout details. Where a transfer fails or is returned to us, we will credit the relevant amount back to your Bucx balance. If you believe a transaction was unauthorized or made in error, contact us immediately and we will investigate and take appropriate action.
