Hardware and Software Requirements

These General Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”) govern the access and use of our mobile applications, products, software, websites, APIs, and other services (our “Platform”) and, where applicable, other service providers available on or through the Platform. By using the Platform, you agree to follow and be bound by these Terms and Conditions, including any policies referenced herein. We may modify these Terms and Conditions or any additional terms that apply to the Platform to, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to the Platform. You should look at these Terms and Conditions regularly and your continued use of the Platform will constitute your acceptance of any revisions to these Terms and Conditions. We will post notice of modified additional terms in the applicable service. If you do not agree to the modified terms for the Platform or any service we offer, you should discontinue your use of the Platform or that service. Your use of the Platform is governed by additional agreements and terms, including our user agreements (each, a “User Agreement”) and any third-party terms and conditions. If you are a resident of the United States (US), your User Agreement is available here. If you are a resident of a country that is a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), your User Agreement is available here. If you are a resident of the United Kingdom (UK) your User Agreement is available here. If you reside anywhere else in the world, your User Agreement is available here. Terms and conditions applicable to equities accounts are available here. Use of the Spiral API and Spiral Connect are subject to an additional Developer Agreement. In the event of a conflict between a User Agreement and these Terms and Conditions, the User Agreement shall control.

Becoming a user

In order to use the Platform, you must set up an account as a user (an “Account”), subject to the applicable User Agreement and any other applicable agreement with us. When used in these Terms and Conditions, the words “you” or “your” mean the owner of the Account and “Spiral,” “us” and “our” means the relevant Spiral entity with which you have entered into a User Agreement.

In creating an Account, you will be asked to set up an email and password, and you will be required to set up two-factor authentication (“2FA”) By signing up for our service and accepting these terms, by providing a mobile phone number you consent that Spiral may contact you by SMS or text message (including by an automatic telephone dialing system) at the mobile phone number you associate with your account for the following;

  • Initial phone number verification
  • Account security notifications
  • Account management and transactional notifications and communications only
Your phone number will also be used to provide you with voice and SMS or text customer support/helpdesk assistance but it will not be used for any marketing messages. The Platform may also permit you to log into your Account using third party login credentials via a single sign-on (“SSO”) service, such as your social media accounts or other identity verification services. If you use an SSO service for accessing your Account and you terminate your relationship with the relevant SSO service provider (e.g., you delete your linked social media account), you will only be able to access your Account via your email and password until you authorize a different SSO service. Your email, password, 2FA credentials, and SSO credentials are referred to collectively as “Login Credentials”. You agree that you are responsible for all activities that occur under your Login Credentials. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Login Credentials and you agree not to share your Login Credentials with any unauthorized parties. You also agree to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your Login Credentials or any other breach of security that you become aware of involving or relating to the Platform by opening a ticket with our customer support team.

You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Just text "STOP" to the shortcode. After you send the SMS message "STOP" to us, we will send you an SMS message with instructions on how to cancel the SMS.

f you are experiencing issues with the messaging program you can reply with the keyword HELP for more assistance, or you can get help directly at support@spiralhodlings.com

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages

As always, message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us and to us from you. By providing your consent to the SMS service, you approve any such rates and charges from your mobile provider and agree that Spiral is not responsible for such rates and charges. If you have any questions about your text or data plan, please contact your mobile provider. Message frequency is dependent on platform usage and will follow the following methodology- one message per request for 2FA, and one message per account notification.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby agree that Spiral shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, special, incidental, punitive or any other damages, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damage or loss, arising or resulting from or in any way relating to your use of the SMS service.

Adding value on the platform

We want the Platform to be convenient, so we may allow you to fund your transaction(s) or Account using different financial instruments and/or accounts such as bank accounts, credit cards, debit cards and other payment methods. When you fund your transaction(s) or Account, you confirm that you are permitted to use the associated financial instrument and/or account and you authorize us (and any designated payment processor or other service provider) to charge the full amount to the financial instrument and/or external account you designate. You also authorize us to collect and store that funding instrument, along with other related transaction information.

U.S. Bank Account Verification Through Micro-deposits.
3.2.1. When you first try to link your U.S. bank account with your Spiral Account, we may attempt to verify your external bank account by either an automated micro-deposit (less than $1.00) or same day micro-deposits (explained below). After your external account has been verified and set up, authorization will remain in full force and effect until you remove your bank account linked to your Spiral Account or close your Spiral Account or your bank account. We use a third-party partner, Plaid, to make these micro-deposits on our behalf.
3.2.2. Automated Micro-deposit. We may use an automated micro-deposit to attempt to verify your external U.S. bank account if your bank supports this method. With an automated micro-deposit, a single micro-deposit into your bank account will be made and then automatically verified within one or two business days. If the micro-deposit is verified, the micro-deposit will be reversed and we will finish setting up your external bank account. If the micro-deposit cannot be verified, we may discontinue and cancel your external bank account setup. The micro-deposit will also be reversed.
3.2.3. Same Day Micro-deposits. We may attempt to verify your external U.S. bank account by using same day micro-deposits. With same day micro-deposits, two separate micro-deposits will be made into your bank account in different amounts using same-day ACH. You will then be required to verify the amount of each micro-deposit within one business day. If you timely verify the amounts of both micro-deposits, the two micro-deposits will be reversed and we will finish setting up your external bank account. If you fail to timely verify the amounts of both micro-deposits, we may discontinue and cancel your external bank account setup. The micro-deposit will also be reversed.

3.2.3. Same Day Micro-deposits. We may attempt to verify your external U.S. bank account by using same day micro-deposits. With same day micro-deposits, two separate micro-deposits will be made into your bank account in different amounts using same-day ACH. You will then be required to verify the amount of each micro-deposit within one business day. If you timely verify the amounts of both micro-deposits, the two micro-deposits will be reversed and we will finish setting up your external bank account. If you fail to timely verify the amounts of both micro-deposits, we may discontinue and cancel your external bank account setup. The micro-deposit will also be reversed.

With respect to funding your transaction(s) or Account with fiat currencies in participating European countries, such Account funding activities may be undertaken using Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) credit transfers.

We may partner with other third-party service providers to offer users different funding options and financial instruments (“Third-Party Programs”). By registering for and/or using any Third-Party Programs, you expressly agree that you have read, understand and accept all the applicable terms and conditions that may apply.

For regulatory and compliance reasons, we reserve the right to refuse to process, cancel or reverse, any add-funds and/or any add-Value transaction(s) if we suspect the transaction(s) may involve illicit activity like money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, any crime, or as required by facially valid legal process, or relates to a Prohibited Use or Prohibited Business. We reserve the right to report, suspend and/or terminate Accounts for such suspected activity.

You expressly agree that you will not reverse or attempt to reverse any transaction(s) to add funds to your Account that you complete. You also agree that we may deduct any amounts associated with your Account if an add funds transaction using a bank account or credit card is subsequently reversed via a chargeback, reversal, claim, or is otherwise deemed fraudulent or erroneous. We may also deduct any amounts held by you in your Account to satisfy any outstanding amount owed by you to us under these Terms and Conditions or otherwise. We reserve the right to report, suspend and/or terminate Accounts for chargeback abuse.

Your bank may charge you non-sufficient funds (“NSF”) or overdraft fees if you do not have sufficient funds to complete a transaction. You are responsible for maintaining an adequate balance in your Account and sufficient credit limits on your credit cards in order to avoid any overdraft, NSF or similar fees. Any and all NSFs are your sole responsibility. Spiral reserves the right to submit a pre-authorized ACH transfer up to two times in order to collect the funds.

Unsupported assets

Any attempt to transfer any cryptocurrency or other digital or virtual assets that Spiral technology does not support and Spiral does not formally recognize with respect to the Platform (“Unsupported Assets”), whether through forks, airdrops, user error, OMNI layer protocols or otherwise, or any funds received via initial coin offering distributions, will be not accepted by Spiral on behalf of any user, and, subject to the discretion of Spiral, you will not receive any Value with respect to any such Unsupported Assets.

In the event that an Unsupported Asset is sent to Spiral by a third party or user, by error or otherwise, it is effectively lost to such third parties or users. Any such Unsupported Assets will be treated as property of Spiral and may be disposed of in accordance with Spiral policy. Spiral is not responsible for the recovery or return of any Unsupported Asset sent to Spiral by any third party or user, regardless of the intention of the person sending such Unsupported Asset or attempts by Spiral to return such Unsupported Asset. Spiral will not be responsible for or be required to attempt to recover or provide Value with respect to any Unsupported Assets sent to the platform, unless it decides to do so in its sole and absolute discretion. Visit our Transparency Page for an up to date list of supported currencies or Assets. Any Asset not included in such list is an Unsupported Asset.

Spiral reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to list or delist any Asset at any time. Should Spiral de-list an Asset you hold such that it becomes an Unsupported Asset, Spiral will make reasonable attempts prior to such de-listing to convert any such Asset into another supported Asset of Spiral’s choosing at then-prevailing market rates, and credit you with the Value of the Unsupported Asset held, less Spiral’s cost of such conversion. If Spiral is unable to convert an Unsupported Asset into a supported Asset, whether due to legal or regulatory restrictions, the lack of an available market, or otherwise, you may lose the Value of such Unsupported Asset.

Termination and Cancellation

In the event that you want to stop using the Platform, you can cancel your Account if you are in good standing and compliant with these Terms and Conditions and other policies. To cancel, simply remove all funds in your Account and visit our cancellation page. We will decide whether to cancel or suspend any pending transactions and we will need to hold funds until any applicable reversal windows are complete and all your obligations to us are satisfied. Of course, you may not cancel your Account in an effort to avoid paying amounts due us or if your activity is under investigation. Note that withdrawals are subject to minimum balances; contact Spiral support if you are not able to cancel your account.

In some cases we may terminate, suspend or otherwise restrict your Account and use of the Platform if we suspect your Account is connected to any Prohibited Use or Prohibited Business, for suspected violation of these Terms and Conditions or any applicable agreements or policies, where required by applicable law, or to otherwise prevent potential loss. Your use of the Platform is a privilege, and not a right, and we reserve our right to terminate, suspend or restrict your access to the Platform, as well as take other actions described in these Terms and Conditions, at any time to protect you, other users and/or us as we deem necessary.

If your Account is terminated, or subject to verification requirements, you will generally be permitted to transfer funds off the Platform for thirty (30) days unless those transfers are otherwise prohibited.

Inactive Accounts

In the event Spiral is holding funds in your Account, and Spiral has deemed the account inactive by no record of you transacting on the Platform for more than 90 days, applicable law states Spiral may be required to report these funds as unclaimed property to the State where your account is registered. In the event this occurs, Spiral will attempt to locate you via email and at the physical address on record, however, if Spiral is unable to locate you, funds may be surrendered to the applicable jurisdiction as unclaimed.

Spiral will attempt to communicate to you prior to your account becoming inactive that your account will be debited if your account remains inactive past the 90 days anniversary.

An account is considered inactive if there are no transactions initiated by the user after 90 days Spiral may in its sole discretion close inactive accounts with zero balances. A transaction is considered any action in which value is moved and is initiated by a user within their Account, including a bank transfer (deposit or withdrawal), moving value between sub-accounts, or sending value to another user or crypto address.

To the extent required by law, if you leave a balance unused for the period of time set forth by your state, country, or other governing body in its unclaimed property laws, if you cancel your Account and leave a balance, or if we deactivate your Account and you do not meet any conditions necessary to reinstate it within six (6) months, we may close your Account and send your balance to any mailing address you provide using the Platform or, if required, escheat (send) your balance to your jurisdiction of residency (based on the jurisdiction associated with that mailing address).

Taxes

You are responsible for and will pay any applicable taxes, duties and fees applicable to activities in your Account. Any and all taxes, including any interest and penalties with respect thereto, which may be assessed under present or future laws in connection with your Account will be paid by you. You are responsible for reporting any proceeds of sale transactions and dividends paid in your Account to the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with applicable law.

If you are a United States person, as a condition of using our platform services you certify under penalties of perjury that; The Social Security number or Employer Identification Number provided is correct; and You are not subject to backup withholding due to the failure to report interest and dividend income.

We do not provide tax advice and you agree that you will determine any tax implications associated with your use of, and any transactions you may make using the Platform. You should consult an accountant, lawyer or tax authorities in your jurisdiction to determine any tax consequences.

Third-Party Services and applications

We may, from time-to-time, contract with third parties who may provide services to Spiral, including financial products and other services in connection with the Platform. To the extent required by applicable law, regulation or any agreement with such providers, we will provide and update a list of relevant financial service partners through the Platform. Contracting with other financial service partners or providers may require us to share your personal information in order for them to provide services to Spiral. All collection, sharing and use of personal information is subject to our Privacy & Data Policy.

You may decide to link to third-party applications or content others make available through the Platform. As such, you expressly authorize us to work with third-party service providers, including SSO services and providers of financial products and services, to deliver certain Platform functionality including, without limitation, enabling the loading, transfer, conversion and storage of funds. You should carefully consider both the functionality purportedly offered and the developer offering the functionality before authorizing the application. Unless otherwise stated, we have no control over applications and assume no responsibility for developers’ actions.

If you authorize a third-party application to connect to your Account and take actions on your behalf, you assume all risks associated with those connections and actions and you are ultimately responsible to us for those connections and actions. We require developers to list a support or dispute framework in connection with their application that allows prompt resolution of any issues. But, if you have disputes with developers, you will need to resolve it directly with them.

You also agree that you will not hold us responsible for, and will indemnify us against any liability arising out of or related to any act or omission of any third-party using your Account credentials whether a developer or otherwise. You may remove permissions granted to third parties with respect to your Account at any time through your account settings (authorized applications) page.
