ANNEX NO.1 TO THE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
E-MONEY TOKEN SERVICES — EURW TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. SCOPE AND APPLICATION
- 1.1. This Annex No.1 ("EURW Terms and Conditions" or "this Annex") forms an integral part of the General Terms and Conditions of Newrails, UAB ("the Agreement") and sets out the specific terms governing the issuance, holding, transfer, custody, and redemption of E-Money Tokens by the Company, including EURW.
- 1.2. This Annex supplements and shall be read together with the main body of the Agreement. Capitalised terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.
- 1.3. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Annex and the main body of the Agreement, the provisions of this Annex shall prevail with respect to matters relating to E-Money Token services, unless the main body of the Agreement expressly provides otherwise.
- 1.4. The Client acknowledges that E-Money Token services are subject to Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 ("MiCA"), as supplemented by delegated and implementing acts, and that the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Annex are to be interpreted in accordance with MiCA. The Company publishes the EURW Crypto-Asset White Paper and the EMT Redemption Policy on the Website. The EMT Redemption Policy sets out the operational procedures for exercising the right of redemption under MiCA Article 49. The Company may update the EMT Redemption Policy from time to time, provided that no such update shall limit or restrict the Client's statutory right of redemption.
- 1.5. The Company issues EURW on the Supported Networks published on the Company's EURW Crypto-Asset White Paper. The Company may add or discontinue support for Supported Networks in accordance with Section 7 of this Annex.
2. E-MONEY TOKEN ACCOUNT
- 2.1. Upon the Client's request and subject to the completion of all applicable onboarding, identity verification and risk assessment procedures, the Company shall open an E-Money Token Account for the Client within My Newrails.
- 2.2. The E-Money Token Account reflects the Client's balance of E-Money Tokens held by the Company on behalf of the Client in accordance with Section 6 (Custody and Administration) of this Annex. The E-Money Token Account balance is denominated in units of the applicable E-Money Token (e.g., EURW) at par value.
- 2.3. The E-Money Token Account is an internal book-entry record maintained by the Company. The Company holds E-Money Tokens on behalf of Clients in one or more pooled (omnibus) Wallet addresses on the applicable Supported Network (each an "Omnibus Wallet"). The Client's E-Money Token Account balance represents the Client's pro rata entitlement to E-Money Tokens held in the Omnibus Wallet. The Client acknowledges that its individual E-Money Token balance is not separately identifiable on the Supported Network; identification and attribution of Client entitlements is maintained exclusively through the Company's internal records.
- 2.4. E-Money Tokens held in the E-Money Token Account are not deposits, are not covered by any deposit guarantee scheme, and do not bear interest or generate any yield or remuneration for the Client, in accordance with Article 50 of MiCA.
- 2.5. The number of E-Money Token Accounts available to the Client shall be determined by the Company.
3. MINTING (ISSUANCE) OF E-MONEY TOKENS
- 3.1. The Client may request the issuance ("minting") of E-Money Tokens by submitting a minting request through My Newrails. By submitting a minting request, the Client instructs the Company to: (a) debit the Client's Payment Account in the amount specified in the minting request; (b) issue E-Money Tokens equal to the Minting Amount at par value (1 EURW = 1 EUR); and (c) credit the newly issued E-Money Tokens to the Client's E-Money Token Account.
- 3.2. The Company shall process the minting request without undue delay upon receipt of the Minting Amount in the Client's Payment Account and upon completion of all applicable compliance checks. The Company reserves the right to perform transaction monitoring, source of funds verification, and any other checks required under Applicable Laws prior to executing a minting request.
- 3.3. E-Money Tokens shall be deemed issued at the moment the corresponding on-chain minting transaction achieves finality on the applicable Supported Network, as determined by the Company in accordance with its internal confirmation thresholds. Upon on-chain finality, the minted E-Money Tokens are credited to the Omnibus Wallet and the Client's E-Money Token Account balance is updated accordingly in the Company's internal records. Prior to on-chain finality, the Minting Amount may be held by the Company as constructive reserve assets in accordance with applicable law.
- 3.4. Minimum and maximum minting amounts, if any, and applicable fees are set out in the Price List. The Company reserves the right to set or amend such limits from time to time.
- 3.5. The Client acknowledges and agrees that minting constitutes an exchange of FIAT funds (held on the Client's Payment Account) for E-Money Tokens (credited to the Client's E-Money Token Account).
- 3.6. Where the Client wishes to receive newly minted E-Money Tokens directly to an External Wallet rather than to its E-Money Token Account, the Client shall first request minting to its E-Money Token Account and then submit a separate transfer request in accordance with Section 5 of this Annex. The Company does not mint E-Money Tokens directly to External Wallets.
4. REDEMPTION OF E-MONEY TOKENS
- 4.1. The right of redemption of E-Money Tokens, the redemption procedure, limitations on redemption, and all related matters are governed by the EMT Redemption Policy published on the Website, which the Client acknowledges having read and understood.
- 4.2. Nothing in this Annex or in the Agreement shall be construed as limiting, restricting, or conditioning the Client's right to redeem E-Money Tokens at par value at any time, as provided under Article 49 of MiCA. The right of redemption is a statutory right and cannot be waived or modified by contract.
- 4.3. Where the Client holds E-Money Tokens in its E-Money Token Account (i.e. in custody with the Company), the Client may initiate a redemption request through My Newrails. Upon receipt of a valid redemption request and completion of all required verifications, the Company shall burn the corresponding E-Money Tokens from the Omnibus Wallet, reduce the Client's E-Money Token Account balance accordingly, and transfer the equivalent funds at par value to the Client by SEPA credit transfer in accordance with the EMT Redemption Policy.
- 4.4. Where the Client holds EURW E-Money Tokens in an External Wallet, the Client must transfer the E-Money Tokens to the Company's designated Wallet address before redemption can be executed. Upon receipt and verification of the incoming transfer, the Company shall credit the Client's E-Money Token Account and process the redemption in accordance with Clause 4.3. The specific procedures are set out in the EMT Redemption Policy.
- 4.5. No fee shall be charged by the Company for the redemption of E-Money Tokens at par value, in accordance with Article 49(6) of MiCA. Third-party fees (such as receiving bank charges or blockchain network transaction fees) that are not charged by or retained by the Company may apply and are the responsibility of the Client.
5. TRANSFER OF E-MONEY TOKENS
- 5.1. The Client may transfer E-Money Tokens from its E-Money Token Account to: (a) another Client's E-Money Token Account within the Company's system (an "Internal Transfer"); or (b) an External Wallet address on a Supported Network (an "External Transfer").
- 5.2. Transfer requests shall be submitted through My Newrails and shall be subject to the authentication procedures set out in Section 10 of the Agreement and to all applicable compliance checks.
- 5.3. Internal Transfers. An Internal Transfer is effected by the Company as a book-entry adjustment: the sending Client's E-Money Token Account balance is reduced and the receiving Client's E-Money Token Account balance is increased by the transfer amount. No on-chain transaction occurs, because the E-Money Tokens remain in the Omnibus Wallet throughout. Internal Transfers are processed immediately upon completion of compliance checks.
- 5.4. External Transfers. An External Transfer is effected by the Company transferring the specified quantity of E-Money Tokens from the Omnibus Wallet to the External Wallet address provided by the Client. Upon execution of the External Transfer, the Client's E-Money Token Account balance is reduced by the transferred amount. The E-Money Tokens, once transferred, are no longer held in custody by the Company, and the Client assumes full responsibility for such E-Money Tokens in accordance with Clause 10.5A of the Agreement.
- 5.5. The Client is solely responsible for providing a correct, compatible, and accessible Wallet address when initiating an External Transfer. The Company shall execute the transfer based on the Wallet address provided by the Client. Given the generally irreversible nature of on-chain transactions: (a) if the Client provides an incorrect or incompatible Wallet address, the E-Money Tokens may be permanently lost; (b) the Company shall not be liable for any such loss, and the provisions of Clause 16.3.8 of the Agreement shall apply; (c) the Company shall, upon request, take commercially reasonable measures to assist the Client in recovering the E-Money Tokens, but does not guarantee recovery. Any investigation shall be subject to fees set out in the Price List.
- 5.6. External Transfers are processed without undue delay and are subject to on-chain confirmation times on the applicable Supported Network, which are outside the Company's control.
- 5.7. The Client may receive EURW E-Money Tokens from third parties to the Company's designated deposit Wallet address, provided that the Client identifies itself in accordance with the procedures published on the Website. The Company may perform compliance screening on incoming transfers and reserves the right to delay crediting to the Client's E-Money Token Account or to reject the incoming transfer if required by Applicable Laws or the Company's AML/CTF policies.
- 5.8. For the avoidance of doubt, a transfer of E-Money Tokens between Accounts or to an External Wallet does not constitute redemption of E-Money Tokens. No conversion into FIAT occurs as a result of such transfer.
6. CUSTODY AND ADMINISTRATION OF E-MONEY TOKENS
- 6.1. Where the Client holds E-Money Tokens in its E-Money Token Account, the Company provides custody and administration services with respect to such E-Money Tokens within the meaning of Article 75 of MiCA. This Section 6 establishes the contractual arrangement required under Article 75(1) of MiCA.
- 6.2. Ownership. E-Money Tokens credited to the Client's E-Money Token Account remain the property of the Client at all times. The Company holds such E-Money Tokens on behalf of and for the account of the Client. The Company shall not use the Client's E-Money Tokens for its own account or for the account of any other person.
- 6.3. Omnibus Wallet. E-Money Tokens held on behalf of Clients are maintained in one or more Omnibus Wallets controlled by the Company on the applicable Supported Network. An Omnibus Wallet is a pooled Wallet address that holds E-Money Tokens attributable to multiple Clients. The Company may maintain separate Omnibus Wallets for operational purposes (for example, a primary custody wallet, a minting/burning operational wallet, or separate wallets per Supported Network), but individual Clients are not allocated separate on-chain Wallet addresses for custody purposes.
- 6.4. Book-entry segregation. Although E-Money Tokens held on behalf of Clients are commingled on-chain in the Omnibus Wallet, the Company shall at all times maintain internal ledger records that: (a) clearly identify the quantity of E-Money Tokens attributable to each Client; (b) distinguish E-Money Tokens held on behalf of Clients from the Company's own E-Money Tokens (if any) and from any other assets of the Company; (c) are reconciled with the on-chain balance of each Omnibus Wallet on at least a daily basis; and (d) are sufficient to determine, at any time, the precise entitlement of each Client.
- 6.5. The Client acknowledges that, as a consequence of the Omnibus Wallet structure, the Client's E-Money Tokens are not separately identifiable on the Supported Network. The Client's entitlement to E-Money Tokens is established exclusively by reference to the Company's internal records. The Company shall make the Client's current E-Money Token Account balance available to the Client at all times through My Newrails.
- 6.6. Protection in insolvency. In the event of the Company's insolvency, the Client's entitlement to E-Money Tokens held in the Omnibus Wallet shall be determined by reference to the Company's internal records. The Company shall ensure that E-Money Tokens held in Omnibus Wallets on behalf of Clients are treated as client assets and are not available to satisfy the claims of the Company's general creditors, in accordance with MiCA Article 75(7). The reserve assets backing such E-Money Tokens are saf safeguarded in accordance with MiCA Article 54.
- 6.7. Liability for loss. The Company shall be liable for any loss of E-Money Tokens held in an Omnibus Wallet that arises from a malfunction or failure of the Company's information and communication technology systems, including the loss of the Company's cryptographic keys controlling the Omnibus Wallet, except where such malfunction or failure is attributable to an event of force majeure within the meaning of Clause 22.1 of the Agreement. The Company's liability under this Clause shall be limited in accordance with Section 16 of the Agreement.
- 6.8. The Company shall not be liable for any loss of E-Money Tokens that arises from: (a) events affecting the Supported Network that are outside the Company's control, including but not limited to network forks, protocol changes, consensus failures, or 51% attacks; (b) vulnerabilities in the Supported Network's protocol or infrastructure; (c) actions of the Client, including but not limited to the Client's transfer of E-Money Tokens to an External Wallet (at which point custody responsibility transfers to the Client).
- 6.9. Omnibus Wallet shortfall. In the event that the aggregate on-chain balance of an Omnibus Wallet is, for any reason, less than the aggregate of all Client entitlements recorded in the Company's internal records (a "Shortfall"), the Company shall: (a) use all reasonable efforts to restore the Omnibus Wallet balance to the level required to satisfy all Client entitlements; (b) in the interim, allocate the available E-Money Tokens to Clients on a pro rata basis in proportion to their respective entitlements as recorded in the Company's internal records, unless a court or competent authority directs otherwise. The Company shall bear the risk of any Shortfall that is attributable to the Company's own acts or omissions, including but not limited to errors in the Company's internal records, unauthorised transactions from the Omnibus Wallet, or loss of cryptographic keys. Nothing in this Clause limits the Client's right of redemption under MiCA Article 49, which is a direct claim against the Company and is not contingent upon the availability of E-Money Tokens in the Omnibus Wallet.
- 6.10. Client instructions. The Company shall execute the Client's instructions to transfer, redeem, or otherwise deal with E-Money Tokens held in custody, subject to this Annex, the Agreement, compliance checks, and Applicable Laws. The Company may refuse to execute an instruction where: (a) execution would result in a breach of Applicable Laws, including sanctions and AML/CTF requirements; (b) the Company has reasonable grounds to suspect that the instruction is fraudulent, unauthorised, or the result of social engineering or other manipulation; (c) a competent authority or court has issued an order requiring the Company to freeze or restrict the relevant E-Money Tokens; (d) the Client's Account has been suspended or restricted in accordance with the Agreement.
- 6.11. Termination of custody. Upon termination of the Agreement for any reason, the Client shall, within thirty (30) calendar days of the effective date of termination, instruct the Company to either (a) transfer the E-Money Tokens attributable to the Client from the Omnibus Wallet to an External Wallet specified by the Client, or (b) redeem the E-Money Tokens in accordance with the EMT Redemption Policy. If the Client fails to provide such instructions within the specified period, the Company may, at its discretion, redeem the E-Money Tokens and transfer the proceeds to the Client in accordance with Clause 9.7 of the Agreement.
7. SUPPORTED NETWORKS AND SMART CONTRACTS
- 7.1. E-Money Tokens are issued on the Supported Networks published on the Website. The Client shall verify the official smart contract addresses for EURW on each Supported Network as published on the Website before initiating any transaction involving E-Money Tokens.
- 7.2. The Company may add support for additional DLT networks or discontinue support for existing Supported Networks. Where the Company intends to discontinue support for a Supported Network, the Company shall provide at least thirty (30) calendar days' prior notice on the Website and through My Newrails. During the notice period, the Client shall transfer its E-Money Tokens to a Wallet on a remaining Supported Network or redeem them in accordance with the EMT Redemption Policy. The provisions of Section 8 of the EMT Redemption Policy (Copies, Forks and Unsupported Protocols) shall apply to any discontinuation.
- 7.3. The EURW smart contract on each Supported Network includes compliance functionality that may enable the Company to: (a) freeze or block E-Money Tokens at specific Wallet addresses; (b) pause the transfer of E-Money Tokens on the applicable Supported Network; (c) burn E-Money Tokens in connection with redemption or in compliance with orders of competent authorities.
- 7.4. The Company shall exercise the compliance functionality referred to in Clause 7.3 only to the extent required or permitted by Applicable Laws, including sanctions regulations, asset freezing measures, or orders of competent authorities, and in accordance with Section 7 (Limitations on Redemption) of the EMT Redemption Policy. The Client consents to such controls as a condition of holding and using E-Money Tokens issued by the Company.
8. CROSS-CHAIN TRANSFERS
- 8.1. Where the Company supports multiple Supported Networks, the Client may request, if such functionality is supported by the Company, the transfer of E-Money Tokens from one Supported Network to another ("Cross-Chain Transfer"). Cross-Chain Transfers are executed by the Company through a controlled burn-and-mint process: E-Money Tokens are burned on the source Supported Network and an equivalent amount is minted on the destination Supported Network.
- 8.2. Cross-Chain Transfer requests shall be submitted through My Newrails and shall be subject to all applicable compliance checks and confirmation procedures. The Company shall execute Cross-Chain Transfers without undue delay, subject to on-chain confirmation requirements on both the source and destination Supported Networks.
- 8.3. During the period between the burn on the source Supported Network and the mint on the destination Supported Network, the underlying reserve assets remain safeguarded in accordance with applicable law. The total supply of E-Money Tokens in circulation does not change as a result of a Cross-Chain Transfer. The Client's E-Money Token Account balance is unaffected by a Cross-Chain Transfer that is carried out entirely within the Company's Omnibus Wallets.
- 8.4. Applicable fees for Cross-Chain Transfers, if any, are set out in the Price List.
9. RISK DISCLOSURES
- 9.1. The Client acknowledges and accepts the following risks associated with E-Money Tokens, in addition to any risks disclosed in the EURW Crypto-Asset White Paper:
- (a) DLT and network risk. E-Money Tokens are recorded on distributed ledger technology. The Supported Networks may experience congestion, technical failures, protocol upgrades, forks, or other events that may delay, disrupt, or prevent the processing of transactions. The Company has no control over the underlying Supported Networks and cannot guarantee their continuous availability or performance.
- (b) Smart contract risk. E-Money Tokens are implemented through smart contracts deployed on Supported Networks. Despite security audits and testing, smart contracts may contain vulnerabilities that could be exploited, resulting in the loss or freezing of E-Money Tokens.
- (c) Irreversibility. On-chain transactions on Supported Networks are generally irreversible once confirmed. Unlike traditional SEPA payment transactions, which may be subject to recall or reversal mechanisms, E-Money Token transfers executed on-chain cannot be reversed by the Company or any third party.
- (d) Key management risk. Where the Client holds E-Money Tokens in an External Wallet, the security of such E-Money Tokens depends entirely on the Client's safeguarding of its private keys and access credentials. Loss of private keys results in permanent loss of access to the E-Money Tokens.
- (e) Omnibus Wallet risk. E-Money Tokens held in custody by the Company are maintained in pooled Omnibus Wallets, not in individually segregated on-chain addresses. The Client's entitlement is a book-entry record maintained by the Company. In the event of a security breach, technical failure, or loss of cryptographic keys affecting an Omnibus Wallet, all Clients whose E-Money Tokens are held in that wallet may be affected. The Company maintains security measures, insurance (where available), and internal controls to mitigate this risk, but cannot guarantee that losses will not occur. In the event of a Shortfall, the provisions of Clause 6.19 of this Annex shall apply.
- (f) Regulatory risk. The regulatory framework applicable to E-Money Tokens, including MiCA, may be subject to further interpretation, amendment, or supplementation by competent authorities. Changes in the applicable regulatory framework may affect the availability, features, or terms of E-Money Token services.
- (g) Secondary market risk. The price of E-Money Tokens on secondary markets may deviate from par value. The Company does not guarantee the availability of secondary market liquidity and is not responsible for any losses arising from secondary market trading. The right of redemption at par value from the Company remains available at all times in accordance with the EMT Redemption Policy.
10. GENERAL PROVISIONS
- 10.1. The provisions of the Agreement apply to E-Money Token services under this Annex mutatis mutandis, except where the specific provisions of this Annex provide otherwise.
- 10.2. The Company may amend this Annex in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 8 (Modification) of the Agreement.
- 10.3. This Annex forms part of the Agreement from the date of its acceptance by the Client. Where this Annex is introduced or amended after the Client has accepted the Agreement, the procedures set out in Section 8 (Modification) shall apply.
