1. Client Access Codes. Nium will provide the Client with a unique identification number and/or password to enable the Client to access and use the Nium Platform (“Access Codes”). The security and confidentiality of the Access Codes will at all times remain the sole responsibility of the Client. The Client will ensure that none of the Access Codes is disclosed to any person, except on a need-to-know basis to Client Authorized Representatives. The Client will ensure that each Client Authorized Representative is aware of the requirement to keep the Access Codes secure and confidential. Breach of this Section constitutes a material breach incapable of being remedied and entitling Nium to terminate this Agreement immediately pursuant to Section 18.

2. Authorized Representatives. Nium is entitled to rely upon the Instructions provided by a Client Authorized Representative until such time as the Client notifies Nium in writing that the Client Authorized Representative is no longer authorized, and Nium has a reasonable opportunity to act upon the notification. Nium may at its sole discretion and without liability, decline to accept or cancel the authority of any Representative nominated by the Client as a Client Authorized Representative.

3. Instruction Information. Prior to submitting an Instruction to Nium, the Client must ensure that all information contained in the Instruction is complete and accurate. If the Client subsequently learns of any error in the Instruction, the Client must immediately notify Nium in writing. When Nium receives an Instruction from a person using an Access Code, Nium may assume that the Instruction has been given by a Client Authorized Representative. Nium is under no obligation to check the authenticity or accuracy of any Instruction or data received, or assumed to be received, from a Client Authorized Representative, and will not be liable for any Losses incurred or suffered by the Client or any other person as a result of Nium acting on an Instruction received, or assumed to be received, from a Client Authorized Representative.

4. Processing Delay or Failure. If the Client fails to provide a timely, accurate and complete Instruction, Nium may be unable to process, or may have to delay the processing of, such Instruction. Nium will not be liable for any Losses incurred or suffered by the Client or any person as a result of a delay or failure in processing an Instruction.

5. Refusal to Act. Nium may refuse to act upon any Instruction received from the Client that Nium believes: (i) may violate this Agreement or other agreements the Client or its Affiliates may have with Nium; (ii) is unauthorized, fraudulent or illegal; or (iii) expose the Client, Nium or others to risks unacceptable to Nium.

6. Unauthorized Use. The Client will notify Nium immediately in the event of any suspected or actual unauthorized use of the Access Codes or unauthorized access to the Nium Platform. Notwithstanding such notification, the Client is solely responsible for all acts or omissions of any person that accesses the Nium Platform through the Access Codes and agrees to be bound by the terms of all transactions or Instructions submitted through the Nium Platform using the Access Codes.

7. Records. The Client is responsible for maintaining its own records relating to the Services and for reconciling such records against any entries made available on the Nium Platform. The Client must notify Nium promptly, and in any event, no later than sixty (60) days (or any longer minimum period prescribed by Applicable Laws) after any unauthorized, incorrect or disputed transaction or entry is entered on the Nium Platform. Following the expiry of this period, any such entry in the Nium Platform will be deemed agreed.

6. Nium Account. 

1. Generally. The Client shall be granted one or more Nium Accounts for the purposes of the Services. Each Nium Account is denominated in a Supported Currency and facilitates the Client’s use of the Services including viewing the Available Balance in the relevant Supported Currency. Where foreign currency conversion is required in respect of any Available Balance, Nium shall apply the prevailing exchange rate, which at the Effective Date, is based on the rates published on the Reuters platform on a Business Day plus a percentage (recognized as a markup), as set out in the Fee Schedule for such conversion.

2. Client Responsibility. The Client shall be solely responsible for keeping, and shall take all steps to keep, any Nium Account opened and maintained with Nium safe at all times. The Client undertakes to notify Nium immediately upon becoming aware of or reasonably suspecting that any Nium Account has been misappropriated, used without authorization or otherwise compromised. Any delay in or failure to notify Nium shall result in the Client being liable for any Losses that arise in connection therewith.

3. Access and Use. The Nium Account shall be operated and accessed solely by the Client or a Client Authorized Representative. The Client shall be fully liable for any acts and omissions of any Client Authorized Representative or persons acting or purported to act on its behalf. If the Client allows any other third party (other than a Client Authorized Representative) to have access to or to operate any Nium Account for whatever reason, the Client shall be deemed to have authorized such use and shall be liable for all Losses and fees incurred by such use.

4. Funding. The Client or, if approved in writing by Nium, an authorized third party, may fund the Available Balance in any Supported Currency into a Settlement Account.  In order to facilitate the provision of the Services, except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Laws, the Client instructs and authorizes Nium to hold funds on behalf of the Client in one or more Settlement Accounts maintained by Nium and its Affiliates that are located outside of the Licensed Jurisdiction for the purpose of acting on the Client's Instructions provided to Nium pursuant to the Pay Out Service.

5. Acknowledgement of Risks. The Client acknowledges and agrees that:

   1. maintaining an Available Balance in multiple currencies carries foreign exchange risks, for example it is possible that the exchange rate improves over time and the Client will not receive the benefit of such fluctuations. The Client agrees to assume the aforementioned foreign exchange risks and waive all claims against Nium with respect to such risks; and

   2. it does not own or operate any Settlement Account or have any other interest in any Settlement Account and any interest earned on monies held in any Settlement Account is not payable to the Client.

6. Shortfall. Nium shall not be liable to make up for any shortfall in any Available Balance received by Nium (including due to bank or payment network charges) unless such shortfall is due to the gross negligence or wilful default of Nium.

7. Reserves. The Client agrees that Nium may, from time to time, establish and withhold from the Available Balance such reserve amounts (“Reserves”), to cover any obligations of the Client (including, but not limited to, outstanding Fees, Pay In Reversals, Pay In Refunds, or Assessments) under this Agreement or any other agreement that Client or its Affiliates may have with Nium or its Affiliates.  Nium may additionally fund the Reserves through: (i) the funds provided by the Client at Nium’s request; (ii) any amount owed by Nium or an Affiliate of Nium to the Client or an Affiliate of the Client; and/or (iii) debiting the bank account of the Client. Nium may, at its option, vary the rate or terms of the Reserves.  Nium’s rights with respect to the Reserves shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  Nium will notify the Client in the event that it establishes the Reserves.

8. Termination. Upon the termination or expiry of this Agreement, the Client may request for the return of any Net Available Balance by way of a written notice to Nium. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such written notice and subject to satisfactory due diligence checks and Applicable Laws, Nium will initiate a refund of the Net Available Balance to the Client (“Available Balance Refund”).Where foreign currency conversion is required, Nium shall apply the prevailing exchange rate at the time such Available Balance Refund is made. In the event Nium is not able to return the funds to the Client, Nium shall, to the extent permissible by Applicable Laws and to the extent practicable for Nium, notify the Client of the reason(s) it is unable to return the funds.

7. Supplemental Products and Services 

1. Direct Debit Services. If direct debit services have been made available to the Client by Nium, the Client agrees to the Direct Debit Terms.
2. FX Forward Services. If the FX Forward Services have been made available to the Client by Nium, the Client agrees to the FX Forward Services Terms.

8. Unauthorized Transactions.

1. Notification. Unless stated otherwise in this Agreement, the Client must notify Nium no later than 60 days from the date of transaction or any longer minimum period prescribed by applicable laws (“Notification Deadline”) of any transaction recorded to the Client’s Nium Account that has not been authorized by the Client or has been otherwise incorrectly executed by Nium (each an “Unauthorized Transaction”). If notification is not provided by the Notification Deadline, such transaction will be deemed as agreed.

2. Suspension of the Services. The Client must suspend its use of the Services and notify Nium immediately if (i) the Client believes the security of any payment instrument (including any Nium Account or associated payment card) issued by Nium in connection with any Services has been compromised (for example, if an unauthorized Representative or a third party has gained access to any security credentials); and/or (ii) the Client has identified an Unauthorized Transaction. The Client may be asked to provide details of the reported issues, and any supporting documentation, such as a copy of a police report, to confirm the theft of the Nium Account.

3. Investigation. Nium will have the right to investigate any transaction reported by the Client as an Unauthorized Transaction. Nium may ask the Client to provide it with supporting information and documentation to help it with its investigation and the Client agrees to cooperate with Nium and provide all information and documentation it reasonably requires for this purpose. the Client also agree to cooperate with any regulatory authorities involved in Nium’s investigation.

4. Liability for Unauthorized Transactions:

   1. Nium will not be liable for any Unauthorized Transaction that has resulted from (A) the Client’s Nium Account being misappropriated or the security of the Client’s Nium Account otherwise being compromised, except to the extent that such misappropriation or compromise is caused by a security breach of the Nium Platform not caused by the Client’s acts or omissions, (B) the Client failure to use the Services in accordance with this Agreement or (C) the Client’s fraudulent acts or omissions.

   2. Nium will not be liable for any Unauthorized Transaction that has been notified to Nium after the applicable Notification Deadline.

   3. Nium will not be liable for any Unauthorized Transaction (other than a transaction that was incorrectly executed by Nium in accordance with a valid Instruction provided by the Client) that occurred prior to Nium being notified by the Client that one or more Unauthorized Transactions have been recorded to its Nium Account. Once the underlying issue (for example a compromise of the Client’s security credentials) causing the Unauthorized Transactions has been resolved and Nium has advised the Client that it can resume use of the Services, Nium will not be liable for any future Unauthorized Transactions unless and until the Client has notified Nium of the occurrence of additional Unauthorized Transactions in accordance with this Section 8.

5. Reversal of Refund. If Nium refunds the Client for a transaction that the Client reported as an Unauthorized Transaction and Nium subsequently determines that such transaction was not an Unauthorized Transaction or Nium was not otherwise liable to refund the Client for such Unauthorized Transaction in accordance with section 8(d). above, Nium will deduct the amount refunded to the Client from (i) the Client’s Nium Account, or (ii) funds provided to Nium as financial assurance for the Client’s obligations under this Agreement. If there are not sufficient funds in the Client’s Nium Account or otherwise available to Nium to reverse the applicable refund, the Client shall immediately transfer such amount to Nium upon its request.

APPENDIX B-1

AUSTRALIA

The additional terms and conditions in this Appendix B-1 apply to Services provided by Nium AU in Australia.

1. Nature of the Available Balance; Bank Guarantee.
   1. Nature of Available Balance. When funds are credited to the Available Balance the Client acquires an interest in (or an increased interest in) a non-cash payment product (being the Nium Account). Those funds are therefore not monies which are subject to the client money protections in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
   2. Bank Guarantee. The Available Balance is supported by a bank guarantee (the “Bank Guarantee”). The Bank Guarantee is issued by an Australian authorized deposit-taking institution (the “Issuer”) in favor of Global Loan Agency Services Australia Nominees Pty Ltd (the “Trustee” or “GLAS”) who holds the benefit of the Bank Guarantee on trust for Nium’s customers, including the Client. The Client agrees to be bound by the Security Trust Deed between Nium and GLAS dated 24 November 2023 which sets out the parties’ rights and obligations with respect to the Bank Guarantee. Nium is required to ensure that, at any point in time, the amount of the Bank Guarantee is greater than the aggregate Available Balances of all customers of the Services. If an insolvency event occurs with respect to Nium AU or Nium AU is found by any court or tribunal in Australia or the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (“AFCA”) to be in breach of any obligation owed to the Client in connection with the Nium Account or Available Balance which breach is not remedied within 10 Business Days following receipt by Nium AU of the final non-appealable judgement or determination of the court, tribunal or AFCA, the Trustee must make a demand on the Bank Guarantee. The Client acknowledges that if a demand is made on the Bank Guarantee, the Trustee will apply the proceeds of the Bank Guarantee to satisfy Available Balances of affected customers held (i) in Australian Dollars, in Australian Dollars and (ii) in any other currency, in Australian Dollars using an exchange rate determined by the Trustee (acting reasonably). In these circumstances the Client can contact the Trustee at: GLAS, Level 26, 1 Bligh Street, Sydney NSW 2000 Australia (Re: NIUM); Phone: +61 2 82268728; Website: https://glas.agency/aus/ and Email: apac@glas.agency (Re: NIUM). The Bank Guarantee referenced in this Section has been issued with the intention of satisfying an exemption published by the Reserve Bank of Australia under section 25 of the Payment System (Regulations) Act 1998 (Cth) on 4 March 2004 (the “Exemption”). The Client acknowledges and agrees that (i) if Nium AU no longer relies on the Exemption in respect of the Available Balance, such as where Nium AU is granted an authorised deposit taking institution license, neither Nium AU nor the Trustee need maintain the Bank Guarantee; and (ii) for the purposes of establishing the Bank Guarantee arrangements, Nium AU is authorized to transfer free and clear title to all relevant balances held in the Settlement Account (or otherwise received to be credited to the Available Balance) to the Issuer as collateral for performance of the Bank Guarantee.
2. PayTo Services. If PayTo services have been made available to the Client by Nium, the Client agrees to the PayTo Terms located at PayTo Terms.

APPENDIX B-2

BRAZIL

The additional terms and conditions in this Appendix B-2 apply to Services provided by Nium BZ in Brazil.

1. Clean Company Act. The Client represents and warrants it is in compliance with all applicable anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations, including those of Brazil, and neither the Client nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, or representatives has engaged in any conduct that would result in a violation of such laws; further, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent, detect, and remediate acts of corruption and bribery.
2. Direct Debit. The Client acknowledges and agrees that, where Direct Debit services are used in Brazil, such services may involve Pix (the instant payment system operated by the Central Bank of Brazil (Banco Central do Brasil – BACEN) and/or boleto bancário and may therefore be subject to Applicable Laws, and requirements governing payment arrangements and payment systems, including BACEN Resolution No. 96 of 19 May 2021, as amended, and applicable Pix rules, standards, and operational requirements.

   6. Client acknowledges and agrees that:
      1. Nium is not a bank or a Financial Institution and is not itself a Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation member institution;
