2.1 The Coins PHP Wallet is a reloadable cash account. It is an E-MONEY instrument that stores Coins PHP and is issued by DCPAY. It is not a depository account and therefore, it is neither covered by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) nor earns any interest. However, it is subjected to the rules and regulations of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA). Functionalities include, but are not limited to, transfer of funds, payments of goods and services, purchase of load, and balance inquiry.

2.3 Identity Authentication. If you wish to cash in or cash out through DCPAY, you authorize DCPAY, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate your identity.
2.4 Third Party Applications. If you grant express permission to a third party to connect to your DCPAY account, either through the third party’s product or through DCPAY, you acknowledge that granting permission to a third party to take specific actions on your behalf does not relieve you of any of your responsibilities under this Agreement. Further, you acknowledge and agree that you will not hold DCPAY responsible for, and will indemnify DCPAY from, any liability arising from the actions or inactions of this third party in connection with the permissions you grant. You may change or remove these permissions at any time from the Account Settings (API) page.

DCPAY is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your transaction, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from any transaction.
2.6 Limitations. DCPAY may delay an order if a customer has not provided personal identifying information, if it reasonably suspects that a customer is in violation of the User Agreement, or if further personal identifying information is necessary to establish the identity of the customer (“KYC”). Until completion of such verification procedures, customers may experience delayed processing of Transactions. DCPAY will designate any such delayed transaction as “pending,” and funds will not be available until the pending transaction is completed. DCPAY reserves the right to refuse to process, cancel, or to reverse any customer transaction (i) as required by law, (ii) in response to a facially valid subpoena, court order, or other government order, or (iii) if DCPAY reasonably suspects that the transaction is erroneous, or is in violation of the DCPAY User Agreement.

DCPAY reserves the right at its own discretion to either process or reject such deposits and associated orders.

DCPAY will not be a party to disputes, negotiations of disputes between you and such third party providers.

5.2 Any references in the Site, Application or Services to a Customer being “verified” or “connected” (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification process, and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by DCPAY about any Customer, including of the Customer’s identity and whether the Customer is trustworthy, safe or suitable. Instead, any such description is intended to be useful information for you to evaluate when you make your own decisions about the identity and suitability of others whom you contact or interact with via the Application and Services.
