These terms and conditions constitute the agreement (the “Agreement”) by and between HoneyBadger Enterprises Ltd. operating as HoneyBadger (hereinafter referred to as “HoneyBadger”, “we” or “us”) and the person, persons or entity (“you”) using our Services. The terms of this Agreement apply to any access and use of our website, mobile app, platform, ATMs, BTMs, kiosks and applications and any of our products, software and services offered through the website (hereinafter referred to as “Site”) or otherwise made available by us or any of its affiliated or partner companies (collectively, our “Services”)​​.

Services

HoneyBadger facilitates the purchase and sale of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies including but not limited to Litecoin and Ethereum (collectively, the “cryptocurrencies”, or individually a “cryptocurrency”) using Canadian Dollars at HoneyBadger’s ATMs or via our Site. We do not custody (i.e., store, hold or manage) any cryptocurrencies, or Canadian Dollars, on your behalf. The handling of cryptocurrency upon completion of a sale/purchase transaction is beyond the scope of HoneyBadger’s services. Upon initial account registration or if suspicious or fraudulent activity is suspected, HoneyBadger reserves the right to delay or refuse to process any transaction being attempted when using our Services. Transactions will be reviewed for suspicious or fraudulent activity, to verify the customer using our Services (referred to as “KYC” or know-your-client requirements), for anti-money laundering (“AML”) purposes, and for other reasonable purpose as determined from time to time in our sole discretion. The Services may only be used for lawful purposes and in a lawful manner.

You are using cryptocurrencies and our Services at your own risk.

Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to taking all reasonable steps to protect your privacy and personal information. HoneyBadger will only use your personal information for the purposes set out herein or with your permission, and we will never sell your personal information.

Personal Information

In this Agreement, “personal information” means personally identifiable information, and includes your name, date of birth, phone number, e-mail address, identification, and credit card information. Personal information does not include information that is of an anonymous nature, provided it does not contain any personal information. Our obligations concerning personal information do not extend to the collection, use, or disclosure of information that is publicly available.

Consent

By using our Services, you consent to the use of your personal information in the manner set out in this Agreement. You may withdraw your consent to our use of your personal information at any time, or refuse to provide your personal information; however, withdrawing consent or refusing to provide personal information may result in your inability to use or continue using our Services.

Use of Personal Information

Certain personal information is required to use the Services and to process a transaction, and purposes ancillary thereto. We collect information in order to verify and authenticate a customer’s identity, process a transaction, process a payment, and to communicate with customers, including notifying customers about transactions they are attempting to make if there was an error or other issue in completing a transaction, or in the event a refund is available. We also collect information about the use of our Services for statistical and data analytics purposes but will not publish any personal information in connection with such uses.

HoneyBadger may share your personal information with our partners and service providers, including for client verification, credit and background checks, payment processing, and customer service purposes. The servers used by us, and our partners and service providers are not all located in Canada, and your information may be available to government agencies in the countries where those servers are located, irrespective of any safeguards we have put in place to protect your personal information.

If your personal information is provided or made available to any third party including our service providers, they will have limited access to such personal information, only to the extent required to permit them to perform the service they are providing. Any third party we engage that will have access to personal information will be subject to contractual restrictions prohibiting them from using any personal information for any purpose other than that for which they are engaged.

Further, at times HoneyBadger may be required to disclose personal information to comply with our MSB obligations or requests by public authorities, including law enforcement agencies. HoneyBadger may disclose personal information about a customer when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is required by and in accordance with the law.

Transacting via the HoneyBadger Services does not include nor require paying duties or taxes; however, there may be tax implications resulting from the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies, and you are solely responsible for the calculation, reporting and remittance of such taxes, if applicable in your jurisdiction. Please note our current fees are subject to change without notice.
