3.1.1. You can reach our Services directly from our website, https://safello.com/ via our Web App, your smartphone via our Mobile App, or by using the Safello Widget on our home page or on one of our Partner Agent’s websites or applications. Whichever way you choose, the Services will be provided by Safello and subject to these Terms. Our Partner Agents are only providing the interface to connect you to Safello, meaning that they do not provide the Services themselves. Consequently, by using the Safello Widget you create an Account with Safello and enter into an agreement with us. However, at present, the Safello Wallet service is not available through the Safello Widget.

3.1.2. Each time you carry out an Exchange Transaction with Safello, we are on the other side of the Transaction, which means that we carry out your order and you get your SEK-payment or cryptocurrencies from Safello. Exchange Transactions may not be used as a means of payment for goods or services or transfer of funds to third parties.

3.1.3. You will find the cryptocurrencies we support from time to time in relation to our Services on this link (“Supported Cryptocurrencies”). We choose which cryptocurrencies shall qualify as Supported Cryptocurrencies very carefully, based on various criteria such as technical compatibility and market cap. We may, in our sole discretion, decide to support additional cryptocurrencies or cease supporting previously supported ones. Customers should be aware that we may support different cryptocurrencies in relation to different Services as well as in relation to different functions of the Services.

3.1.4. If we terminate support for a cryptocurrency we will give you notice regarding this through our website and a notification on your Account where you are urged to through Withdrawal Transactions or Selling Transactions empty your Safello Customer Wallet of the cryptocurrencies we have announced that we will cease support. In such notice, we will specify the date when we cease supporting the relevant cryptocurrency, and such date may not fall earlier than ten (10) bank days from the date of the notice (unless a shorter period is required to comply with applicable law or order by a competent authority). In the event that Customers fail to comply with such notice, Safello reserves the right to, in Safello’s sole discretion, either exchange the Customer’s cryptocurrencies which are no longer supported against Supported Cryptocurrencies or exchange them against SEK with payment to the Customer’s bank account. In both cases, Safello will use reasonable efforts to apply the best available exchange rate that is available for Safello in the ordinary course of business.

3.1.5. The only fiat currency (i.e. traditional currency issued by an institution, normally a state) supported by Safello at present is Swedish Kronor (“SEK”). Additional fiat currencies may be supported in the future in which case what is stated herein regarding SEK shall apply correspondingly to any new supported fiat currency.

You can use different payment options, such as Swish, Bankgirot, SEPA, and Klarna Bankgiro.

3.2.2. Cryptocurrencies bought from Safello can only be sent to your own cryptocurrency wallet which will, by default, be your Safello Customer Wallet, unless you do so through a Channel which does not support Safello Wallet.

3.3.2. The cryptocurrencies held in your Safello Customer Wallet are assets held by Safello for your benefit on a custodial basis. This implies that the ownership of the cryptocurrencies in your Safello Customer Wallet at all times shall remain with you.

In certain instances, we must also receive knowledge of the origin of funds and other assets.

As a Natural Person Customer you will be invited to enter into a Customer Relationship with Safello which occurs either after carrying out your fifth Exchange Transaction or Deposit Transaction, or before carrying out your first Withdrawal Transaction. When you enter into a Customer Relationship, you will be required to fill out a questionnaire where Safello can learn more about your preferences and gather more information about you, in order for us to comply with our anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing obligations and to keep providing our Services to you smoothly. We appreciate your cooperation in the process.

5.5. Corporate Customers must always enter into a Customer Relationship before they initiate the first Transaction or before setting up a Safello Customer Wallet. This allows Safello to gather necessary knowledge of the potential Corporate Customer, which is required by anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing regulations. If you are a Representative of a Corporate Customer, we will ask you to provide certain documents and information, such as the certificate of registration of the legal person you represent, proof that you are authorized to represent such legal person and other relevant documentation.

7. Use of the Services

7.1. Transaction limits

7.1.1. Due to regulations regarding anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing and our AML framework, there are limits as to the number of Transactions as well as to Transaction amounts when using the Services. Customers agree to comply with the limits as set out by Safello from time to time in relation to the relevant Service. You can access the applicable maximum Transaction limits here by following this link. Safello reserves the right to apply different Transaction limits for different types of Transactions and Services. Safello reserves the right to not process Transactions if they are too small or too large.

7.1.2. Safello may set different Transaction limits for Customers based on objective criteria set out by Safello’s policies. Safello uses a three-tier system to categorize Customers, and Customers can move between the Tiers if the criteria for the upgrade are fulfilled. You can find the applicable Tiers and Transaction limits by following this link, and you will receive information on your Tier and Transaction limits by logging into your Account.

7.1.3. In order to become upgraded to a Tier 3 Customer and increase your Transaction limits you will need to submit an additional questionnaire to provide information about you and your planned Transactions as well as Proof of Funds. You can do this in multiple ways, such as consenting to having your bank account history analysed by Safello through automated financial analysis. Safello reserves the right to determine the methods and documentation accepted in order to increase Transaction limits, and may request further information at any time. The process is voluntary, if you do not wish to consent, you will be able to continue using our Services with your previous Transaction limits.

7.2. Fees

The applicable fees charged for Transactions or refunds from time to time are displayed on the fee page on the Safello website. Please follow this link to access the fee page. For the applicable fees in relation to Safello Premium, follow this link.

7.3. Refunds and cancellations

7.3.1. Withdrawal Transactions and Deposit Transactions can not be cancelled, i.e. they are irrevocable once the order has been placed with Safello. Exchange Transactions may be subject to cancellation and refund up until the point when an order has been placed with a third party by Safello in relation to the Exchange Transaction. If an Exchange Transaction may be subject to refund in accordance with the stated, the refund can only be transferred to the Customer’s own cryptocurrency wallet or bank account (as applicable). Safello may request to be provided with supporting documentation in relation thereto.

7.3.2. If your initiated Transaction is not successful due to insufficient balances on your bank account or Safello Customer Wallet, the Transaction will be cancelled. You are responsible for maintaining an adequate balance and/or sufficient credit limits in order to avoid overdraft, insufficient balance or fees that may be charged by your payment provider, as well as for maintaining a sufficient balance on your Safello Customer Wallet.

7.4. Safello Exchange

7.4.1. When carrying out Buying Transactions, you are only permitted to receive the cryptocurrencies to your own cryptocurrency wallet address. In case you use a Safello Customer Wallet, Safello will ensure that your cryptocurrencies are protected and that you can access them and carry out Transactions under these Terms. In case you opt to use an external cryptocurrency wallet, you have to ensure that you have full control over your wallet. Safello does not assume any responsibility for such external cryptocurrency wallet and will not be able to provide you support in relation to your external cryptocurrency wallet. In the event of misuse or suspected misuse of your cryptocurrency wallet, you must immediately notify Safello via email to .

7.4.2. When carrying out a Buying Transaction, you can use different payment options, such as Swish, Bankgirot, SEPA, and Klarna Bankgiro. We may choose to change the available payment options at any time. The available payment options will always be presented to you when initiating a Transaction. You are required to use the BankID associated with your Account in order to ensure the safety of our Services and to make sure that there is no misuse of your Account.

7.4.3. When carrying out a Selling Transaction, you must specify a bank account when initiating the Transaction, to which we will transfer your SEK upon Safello’s receipt of the cryptocurrencies. We will only transfer your SEK to your own bank account, that you alone can access and are in control over. It is not possible to make transfers to a tax account (Sw. skattekonto). You may also use a joint bank account for receiving the transfer from Safello, in which case it is your responsibility that only you and those who are the joint owners of the account can access and control the bank account, and Safello is not responsible for any dispute between the joint account holders.

7.4.4. The applicable exchange rate, i.e. the exchange rate which an Exchange Transaction is actually carried out at is determined when Safello has processed and executed your Exchange Transaction with Safello’s liquidity provider (the “Applicable Exchange Rate”).

7.4.5. The exchange rate indicated in the relevant Channel when the Customer initiates a Transaction reflects the best real time exchange rate available for Safello at that time and therefore only serves as an estimated exchange rate for Transactions initiated at that time (the “Estimated Exchange Rate”). Hence, the Applicable Exchange Rate and the Estimated Exchange Rate may differ upward or downward (i.e. the difference may have a positive or negative impact on the Applicable Exchange Rate).

7.4.6. The Applicable Exchange Rate for an individual Transaction is set out on the receipt provided to the Customer as evidence of completion of the Transaction.

7.4.7. Safello strives to ensure that your Exchange Transactions are being processed and executed as soon as possible. However due to the complexity of our Services there are technical risks as well as mandatory compliance procedures which could possibly cause delays to the processing and execution of the Exchange Transaction which in turn may result in a more significant exchange rate difference between the Estimated Exchange Rate and the Applicable Exchange Rate.

7.4.8. In accordance with Section 7.3.1 above, Exchange Transactions which have been placed with Safello’s liquidity providers cannot be cancelled and refunded. However, if the processing has been delayed and the order has not yet been placed with Safello’s liquidity providers, Safello’s customer support team will reach out to you, and you may choose to carry out the Exchange Transaction or opt to receive a refund to your Safello Customer Wallet (or external cryptocurrency wallet, as applicable) or bank account, depending on whether the cancelled Transaction was a Selling Transaction or Buying Transaction. Such refunds are carried out free of charge for the Customer.

7.4.9. Safello assumes no responsibility or liability for any fluctuation of the exchange rate between the initiation and an execution of an Exchange Transaction, or any direct or indirect loss, cost or damage incurred by a Customer or a third party due to delayed processing or execution of a Transaction.

7.4.10. Trading with cryptocurrencies involves significant risks and is, among other things, subject to a high degree of pricing volatility, see Section 9 (Risks and warnings). Safello has no responsibility and shall not be liable for any direct or indirect loss, cost or damages incurred by a Customer or a third party due to changes of the price of cryptocurrencies.

7.5. Safello Wallet

7.5.1. If you initiate a Buying Transaction and have a Safello Customer Wallet, you will, by default, receive your cryptocurrencies to your Safello Customer Wallet, unless you do so through a Channel which does not support Safello Wallet. Prior to initiating a Transaction, you can choose to receive your cryptocurrencies to an external cryptocurrency wallet instead. However, Safello reserves the right to stop offering the option to opt out of the use of the Safello Customer Wallet in case of using a Channel that supports Safello Wallet.

7.5.2. If you initiate a Selling Transaction and have a Safello Customer Wallet, the cryptocurrencies will be, by default, deducted from the balance in your Safello Customer Wallet, unless you do so through a Channel that does not support Safello Wallet.

7.5.3. When carrying out a Withdrawal Transaction where you send cryptocurrency for the first time to an external cryptocurrency wallet, you may be prompted to identify such wallet by answering some questions (for example, by marking it as an external third-party provided self-hosted wallet or another option that describes the wallet).

7.5.4. We will process Transactions in accordance with the instructions we receive from you. It is your responsibility to verify that all transaction information is accurate and complete when initiating a Transaction. We do not guarantee the identity of any user, receiver or other third party and Safello will have no responsibility or liability for any errors due to inaccurate or incomplete instructions from you regarding Transactions.

7.5.5. Once submitted, a Transaction will be unconfirmed for a period of time pending sufficient confirmation by the blockchain and such Transaction is not complete while it is in a pending state. Cryptocurrencies subject to Transactions in a pending state will not be included in the balance on your Safello Customer Wallet and will not be available for further Transactions until confirmed by the blockchain. When a Transaction is successfully completed, you will see the updated balance on your Account. Safello securely stores the Customer’s private keys to the Safello Customer Wallet. Due to our security protocols, the initiation or the crediting of a Transaction may be delayed.

7.5.6. Customers shall always pay attention to which cryptocurrencies are currently Supported Cryptocurrencies in relation to specific Transactions. You may not attempt to use your Safello Customer Wallet to store, send or receive cryptocurrencies other than the Supported Cryptocurrencies. We assume no responsibility or liability in relation to any attempt to use your Safello Customer Wallet for digital currencies that we do not support or in the event of any unsupported asset being sent to your Safello Customer Wallet.

7.5.7. In the event of airdrops to the Safello Hot Wallet or the Safello Vault (i.e. that cryptocurrencies are sent to these cryptocurrency wallet addresses by an external party, on such external party’s initiative and without consideration) Safello shall have no responsibility to allocate any such cryptocurrencies received among Safello Customer Wallet users. The foregoing shall apply correspondingly in relation to cryptocurrencies received in the Safello Hot Wallet or the Safello Vault as a result of chain splits (i.e. in case of a hard fork of the blockchain resulting in the creation of additional cryptocurrencies).

7.5.8. The ownership of the cryptocurrencies in the Safello Customer Wallet shall at all times remain with the relevant Customer. Safello shall treat all Customers’ cryptocurrencies as escrow funds (Sw. redovisningsmedel) held on behalf of each respective Customer, and except as necessary or practicable to enable transfers of cryptocurrencies for Customers, shall at all times hold such cryptocurrencies in the Safello Vault and thereby separate from Safello’s own cryptocurrency. The transactions and balances in relation to each Customer’s cryptocurrencies shall be recorded by Safello in a ledger. Except as required by a valid court order or order from a competent authority, Safello will not dispose of cryptocurrencies in a Customer’s Safello Customer Wallet unless instructed by the Customer.

7.6. Safello Subscription

7.6.1. When initiating a Transaction, Customers in a Customer Relationship can choose between one-time Buying Transactions and Safello Subscription. To use Safello Subscription, you need to set up recurring payments from your bank account to Safello, in order to carry out automatic recurring Buying Transactions with the frequency scheduled by you (“Recurring Payments”). The Recurring Payments are carried out in accordance with your instructions regarding amount, the destination (i.e your Safello Customer Wallet or your external cryptocurrency wallet), the frequency and the dates when the recurring Buying Transactions shall be carried out. If a chosen Transaction date is a Swedish bank holiday, the Transaction will be carried out on the next bank day. Safello reserves the right to stop offering Safello Subscription with Recurring Payments to an external cryptocurrency wallet.

7.6.2. Your Recurring Payments will continue based on your settings until either you or Safello terminate your Safello Subscription. Safello may in this respect, at any time, terminate your Safello Subscription by giving notice to you. You may also terminate Safello Subscription via your bank by cancelling the Recurring Payments to Safello at any time. Such termination will be effective immediately and cancel the first following Transaction unless payment in respect of the Transaction has already been drawn from the Customer’s bank account, if that is the case, the termination will be effective and cancel all Transactions from (but excluding) the first following Transaction.

9. Risks and warnings

9.1. Safello aims to provide a highly trustworthy and safe service in the crypto-exchange industry, and in order to further strengthen the safety of our Customers, we strive to inform our Customers of the risks associated with cryptocurrencies.

9.2. Customers shall understand and build knowledge about the inherent risks of cryptocurrencies and how to manage cryptocurrencies. The main risks related to cryptocurrencies and the Services are listed below.

i. Cryptocurrencies and the pricing of such are by their nature not guaranteed by any organization or state and cryptocurrencies may therefore not be considered as a monetary asset. Cryptographic units of value are not legally currencies and are accepted only in a few jurisdictions and only by some market participants as a means of payment. Consequently, cryptocurrencies have a very limited usage as a means of payment, and the high price volatility increases the risk that a Customer may lose all or part of its investment in cryptocurrencies.

ii. Since the Services are internet-based, there is a risk of hacking, internet vulnerability, theft and other cyber related crime towards property. Safello encourages its Customers to take necessary precautions to mitigate such risks on their end by ensuring due care when using the Services, following Safello’s instructions carefully and building knowledge regarding these risks. To mitigate the risk of unauthorized use of your Account, you are not allowed to use the Services by using third party service providers or by accepting support from any third party. Third parties could impersonate Safello’s support personnel, and Customers shall therefore only use Safello’s customer service which you can reach here. You may only use the Services through Safello’s Channels, acting only by your own will and for your own benefit. By not adhering to these Terms, you increase the risk of becoming a victim of third-party fraud. To prevent Customers from becoming victims of fraud methods known to Safello, Safello has compiled a list of such in this FAQ collection.

iii. Buying and selling cryptocurrency is highly speculative and as mentioned above subject to a high price volatility. The price volatility in combination with the time it takes to process and execute a Transaction result in an exchange rate risk, implying that a Transaction may be subject to an exchange rate which significantly deviates from the estimated exchange rate indicated in the Channel when initiating the Transaction.

iv. Customers shall inform themselves on the relevant tax consequences related to buying, selling, owning and transacting in cryptocurrency in their jurisdiction. In Sweden, you might review for example the section on cryptocurrencies from the Swedish Tax Agency (Sw. Skatteverket) by following this link.

v. There are regulatory risks since the internet and cryptocurrencies have worldwide coverage but cryptocurrencies are not allowed in all jurisdictions. Therefore, Customers shall keep themselves informed about regulatory and legal changes which may impact their ownership and ability to dispose of their cryptocurrency.

vi. Customers shall be aware of the transmission risks of the internet. The internet-based trading system implies risks related to for example the failure of hardware, software, and Internet connections which may lead to communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays during the use of Services.

vii. Transactions of cryptocurrencies which have been registered on the blockchain are irreversible and can only be refunded by the receiving party, consequently Transactions which have been registered in such a way cannot be reversed or cancelled.

10. Term and termination by the Customer

10.2. You may terminate your use of the Services at any time, even though we would be sad to see you go. You can terminate the Services with immediate effect by written termination to .
