Introduction

BCS Global Holdings, Inc. ("BCS," "we," "us," or "our") is a technology company that provides a non-custodial software platform (the "Platform") enabling users to access and interact with services offered by independent third-party providers. BCS is fully non-custodial — we do not request, store, or have access to your private keys, seed phrases, or wallet balances beyond publicly available on-chain data. BCS acts solely as a technological conduit and does not offer, hold, or transmit funds, crypto-assets, or provide any financial, custodial, or regulated services.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Platform, including any related websites, applications, APIs, and services provided by BCS. By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform.

1. Eligibility

1.1 Age and Capacity

You must be at least 18 years of age and have full legal capacity to enter into binding contracts in your jurisdiction to use the Platform. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

1.2 Geographic Restrictions

The Platform is not available to residents of the following U.S. states: Hawaii, New York, or any state where we determine that offering the Platform would require licensing or regulatory approvals that we have not obtained. The Platform is not available to residents of any country subject to U.S. government sanctions or embargoes, including but not limited to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are not a resident of any restricted jurisdiction.

1.3 Business Users

If you are using the Platform on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and in that case "you" and "your" will refer to that entity.

2. Platform Description and Third-Party Providers

2.1 BCS Role

BCS provides a software interface through which you can access services offered by independent third-party providers, including card program managers, issuing banks, digital asset lenders, decentralized finance protocols, and wallet infrastructure providers. BCS is not a bank, lender, money services business, or broker-dealer. BCS does not provide financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.

2.2 Third-Party Providers

The following independent third-party providers offer services through the Platform: (a) Card Partners: a licensed card program manager and its issuing bank partner(s) that issue, manage, and process your card account and transactions. Your card account is subject to a separate Cardholder Agreement with the issuing bank; (b) Lending/DeFi Protocols: decentralized finance protocols and/or third-party lending platforms through which digital asset-backed credit may be arranged. These protocols operate autonomously on public blockchain networks and are not controlled by BCS; (c) Wallet Infrastructure Provider: a third-party non-custodial wallet provider that provisions and manages your digital asset wallet. BCS does not hold your private keys; (d) Identity Verification Provider: a third-party KYC/AML verification service; and (e) Digital Asset Conversion Provider: third-party providers that facilitate conversion of digital assets. Each Third-Party Provider operates independently under its own terms of service, privacy policy, and regulatory framework. You are responsible for reviewing and accepting the terms of each Third-Party Provider whose services you use through the Platform. BCS makes no representations or warranties regarding the availability, reliability, security, or performance of any Third-Party Provider and shall not be liable for any losses arising from Third-Party Provider failures, delays, errors, or disruptions.

3. Account Registration and Verification

3.1 Account Creation

You must create an account and provide accurate, current, and complete information. You agree to update your information promptly if it changes.

3.2 Identity Verification

In compliance with applicable anti-money laundering and know-your-customer laws and regulations, identity verification is required before you can use certain services. Verification may be conducted by BCS, our Card Partners, or other Third-Party Providers as applicable. You agree to provide: (a) a valid government-issued photo identification; (b) proof of residency; (c) a government-issued identification number (such as a Social Security Number, tax identification number, or equivalent in your jurisdiction); and (d) any additional documentation reasonably requested by BCS or its Third-Party Providers. You consent to BCS sharing your information with Third-Party Providers for verification purposes.

3.3 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. BCS shall not be liable for any loss arising from your failure to maintain account security.

3.4 Non-Custodial Digital Wallet

As part of account creation, a non-custodial digital wallet is provisioned for you through an independent third-party wallet infrastructure provider ("Wallet Provider"). Your wallet is secured by cryptographic keys that are generated and stored within the Wallet Provider's secure infrastructure. BCS does not have access to, and cannot recover, your private keys. You acknowledge that: (a) Your wallet is non-custodial — you retain sole ownership and control of all digital assets held in your wallet at all times; (b) BCS cannot access, freeze, or seize the contents of your wallet, except to the extent that BCS may restrict your access to the Platform interface; (c) If you lose access to your wallet credentials, BCS may not be able to restore access to your digital assets; (d) Your use of the wallet is subject to the Wallet Provider's terms of service, which you must separately review and accept; and (e) The Wallet Provider may use smart contract technology to facilitate your interactions with DeFi Protocols. Such technology does not transfer ownership or control of your assets to BCS.

4. Digital Asset Transactions

4.1 Supported Assets

The Platform currently supports Bitcoin (BTC). We may add or remove supported assets at our discretion with prior notice.

4.2 Transaction Processing

Digital asset transactions are processed through third-party service providers. BCS coordinates and routes your transactions but does not execute conversions as a principal or counterparty. We do not guarantee the availability, speed, or finality of any transaction, or the availability of any specific exchange rate.

4.3 Transaction Limits

Your account may be subject to daily, weekly, or monthly transaction limits based on your verification level, account history, and other factors.

4.4 Irreversibility

Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Once you initiate a digital asset transaction, it cannot be canceled or reversed.

4.5 Unauthorized Transactions

If you believe your Card has been lost, stolen, or that an unauthorized transaction has been made, you must immediately notify the card-issuing bank using the contact information in your Cardholder Agreement. Your rights and liability regarding unauthorized card transactions are governed solely by applicable law and your Cardholder Agreement with the issuing bank. BCS is not the card issuer, does not adjudicate card disputes, and has no liability for unauthorized card transactions. For unauthorized access to your BCS Platform account, notify BCS immediately at hello@bitcoincredit.services. You are liable for all activity on your account until you notify us.

5. Risks

5.1 Digital Asset Risk

Digital assets are highly volatile and speculative. You may lose some or all of the value of your digital assets. BCS does not guarantee any particular rate of return or the preservation of value.

5.2 Technology Risk

The Platform relies on blockchain technology, third-party services, and internet connectivity. Service interruptions may occur. BCS does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted, or error-free availability of the Platform.

5.3 Regulatory Risk

The regulatory environment for digital assets is evolving. Changes in law may require us to modify or discontinue services.

5.4 Tax Risk

You are solely responsible for your tax obligations. BCS does not provide tax, legal, investment, or financial advice.

5.5 DeFi Protocol Risk

If you use the Platform to interact with DeFi Protocols, your collateral may be liquidated by the Protocol, and you may lose some or all of your posted digital assets. Lending terms, interest rates, collateral requirements, and liquidation rules are determined solely by the Protocol.

5.6 No Fiduciary Duty

BCS is not your fiduciary, advisor, or agent. No communication or information provided by BCS shall be considered investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, legal advice, or tax advice. You alone are responsible for determining whether any transaction or strategy is appropriate for you based on your personal objectives, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance.

5.8 No Warranty

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. BCS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM BCS SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

6. Intellectual Property

The Platform, including its content, features, and functionality, is owned by BCS and is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Platform for your personal or internal business purposes.

8. Fees

BCS may charge fees for certain services, including but not limited to account maintenance, digital asset transactions, card usage, and credit line services. All applicable fees are described in the Fee Schedule, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. BCS reserves the right to change its fees at any time with prior notice. Continued use of the Platform after a fee change constitutes your acceptance of the new fees.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BCS AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, BUSINESS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF BCS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL BCS'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID TO BCS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BCS and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the Platform, including but not limited to your violation of any applicable law, your infringement of any third-party rights, or any content you submit to the Platform.

The arbitration shall be conducted in Miami, Florida, or another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.

11.2 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND BCS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
