Payment services in general
A purchase transaction made with a Debit/Credit card will be carried out by a payment service provider, a third party. The payment services are governed by the payment service provider’s own Terms and Conditions. QB reserves the right to change payment service provider at any given time.

Buy cryptocurrency;
Swap (exchange) cryptocurrency from one cryptocurrency to another;
Send cryptocurrency to and receive cryptocurrency from other Quickbit Accounts and non-Quickbit Accounts;
Hold cryptocurrency; and
Make recurring purchases of a chosen cryptocurrency, and for a chosen FIAT amount, on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
New features and services will be launched in the Quickbit-App.
Recurring purchase plan
The recurring purchase function within the Quickbit-App enables you to set up a plan so that you can make recurring purchases. To set up a recurring purchase plan you need to:
Choose a cryptocurrency available in the Quickbit-App (it is possible to set up one recurring purchase plan for each available cryptocurrency).
Choose an interval (daily, weekly or monthly) for each recurring purchase plan.
Choose an amount in FIAT (available in the App) for each recurring purchase plan. The amount has to be the same for each purchase plan, e.g. 500 SEK per day, week or month. We have a limit of minimum one (1) EUR, or the equivalent in any other accepted FIAT currency, per recurring purchase. If a maximum limit applies, this will be displayed in the Quickbit-App when a plan is set up.
Register a credit or debit card for the recurring purchases.
The cryptocurrency price applied for each purchase is determined by the rate applicable at the time when we process the purchase each day. The current cryptocurrency price will be showcased in the Quickbit-App daily.
Your recurring purchased cryptocurrency will be stored in the relevant cryptocurrency wallet in your Quickbit Account.
It is possible to cancel an existing recurring purchase plan in the Quickbit-App at any time. To change an existing recurring purchase plan, cancel the plan and thereafter set up a new plan with new variables. We will process all scheduled purchases at the same time of the day, once per day. Canceling an existing recurring purchase plan must be made at least the day before the next scheduled recurring purchase. We have the right to cancel a recurring purchase plan due to a failed transaction (e.g. If your registered card has expired or if your bank account has insufficient funds). We will notify you thereof.
6. PRICING, FEES AND TAXES
You can, in some cases, be charged with a service fee when using the Services through the Quickbit-App. The service fee differs depending on the service, e.g. buying or exchanging.

However, QB is not liable for any incidents that are not attributable to QB. This includes, but is not limited to, events that occur independently of the services QB provides or QB’s operations, such as:
Issues inherent to the functioning of the distributed ledger technology or blockchain that we do not control.
Events caused by factors external to our systems, including force majeure events, unauthorized actions by third parties, or security breaches caused by a client’s negligence.

The Customer's failure to maintain the confidentiality or security of their access credentials.
Errors or malfunctions inherent to the distributed ledger or blockchain network.
In cases of unauthorized or incorrect transfers, the Customer must notify QB without undue delay upon becoming aware of the issue. Failure to provide timely notice may limit or void the QB’s liability.
QB reserves the right to investigate any claims regarding unauthorized or incorrectly executed transfers to determine responsibility and may require the Customer’s cooperation in such investigations.

You are responsible for keeping your contact details with us accurate and up-to-date. We are not responsible for any missed communication caused by outdated or incorrect information.
All communication will be conducted in English or Swedish. We will use email as a general communication channel with you. When sending personal information to us, we recommend that you send the email in an encrypted format due to security reasons.
21. SECURITY
Security systems used by us We protect your data, including crypto-assets, using robust security systems including industry-standard encryption for data storage and transmission. Access to sensitive information is restricted to authorized personnel and is protected by access controls. Additionally, all systems are monitored in real-time to detect and respond to potential security incidents swiftly.
Security actions taken by us We have implemented policies and procedures to effectively manage and reduce risks when providing crypto-asset transfer services for our clients.

24. PERMISSION FOR US TO PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
In order for us to provide the Services we need to collect information about you. The information will be collected from you, our partner Intergiro and third parties. For more information about how we use your personal information, see our Privacy Notice.
By accepting these Terms you acknowledge that:
We will gather and store your personal information for the purpose of providing the Services to you.
We may disclose your personal data to other entities within QB.
We will retain your personal data for the duration of providing the Services to you until you have requested the deletion of your Quickbit Account. Please note that some of your personal data will still be retained after deletion of your Quickbit Account due to legal reasons.
25. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The trademarks, service marks, copyright, intellectual property rights and logos accessible to you in the Quickbit- App or otherwise whilst using the Services (“Trademarks”) are the property of us. The software, text, images, graphics, data, prices, trades, charts, graphs, video, and audio used in the Quickbit-App belongs to us. The Trademarks and materials should not, under any circumstances, be copied, reproduced, modified, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, scraped, collected or distributed in any form or by any means, whether manual or automated. The use of any such materials outside of the Quickbit-App for any other purpose than using the Services is strictly prohibited; any such unauthorized use may violate copyright, trademark and other applicable laws and could result in criminal or civil penalties.
26. RISKS
The trading of goods and products, real or virtual, as well as virtual currencies involves significant risk. Currency prices can and do fluctuate on any given day and historical increases in value and returns cannot be used as indicators of future developments. Due to such price fluctuations, the value of your assets may increase or decrease at any given moment. You must therefore consider if our Services are suitable for you in the light of your financial circumstances and appetite towards risk.
Recurring purchases may be a way to spread the risk over time. When cryptocurrency prices fall, it makes it possible for you to purchase cryptocurrency cheaper and when the price rises again, the value of your cryptocurrency also increases. However, recurring purchases are not a guarantee for increase in value of your cryptocurrency.
Virtual currencies may be subject to large swings in value and may even become worthless. There is an inherent risk that losses will occur as a result of buying, selling, lending or trading anything on a market. Furthermore, online trading platforms themselves may be vulnerable from both a security and technical perspective, for example risk of hacking, which could lead to transactions not being executed and, in the worst case, assets being lost or stolen.
It is also important to remember that, in the event of loss, virtual currencies are neither protected by the governmental investor protection schemes nor deposit guarantee schemes.
27. NO RIGHT TO WITHDRAWAL
Please be aware that the provisions regarding the right to withdrawal of financial services are not applicable on the Services due to fluctuations in the currency market which we cannot influence.
28. MISCELLANEOUS
28.1 This agreement is only between you and us. You cannot transfer any rights or obligations under this agreement to any third party without our prior written consent. You however permit us to transfer or assign all of our rights and obligations under these Terms to any third party.
28.2 QB reserves the right to amend, modify or update these Terms at its sole discretion without prior notice to the Merchant. Any such changes shall take effect immediately upon publication on QB’s website or other designated platform. By continuing to use the Services after the new amendments have been made, the Merchant is deemed to have accepted the revised Terms.
29. GOVERNING LAW, DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND CONSUMER RIGHTS
Swedish laws govern this agreement unless the law in the country that you reside in has stricter rules.
Any disputes that may arise under these Terms shall be resolved in the courts of the EEA country in which you reside.
