The Silverbird Partner ProgramThe Silverbird Partner Program is governed by a separate set of terms which can be found at:
https://silverbird.com/partner-program-agreementLimits on and restrictions of use of ServicesSilverbird has the right to establish amount limitations for certain Operations. The Client has the right to request increase of the limitations established by Silverbird to the extent and pursuant to the terms and procedures established by Silverbird.
Prevention of money laundering and terrorism financingSilverbird at all times adheres to its Know-Your-Customer (KYC) principles upon the establishment of and during the business relationship with the Client. Under the KYC principles, the Client must be identified and the appropriateness of transactions must be assessed based on the Client’s principal business and/or prior pattern of transactions. Silverbird has the right to request additional information (e.g. documents serving as grounds for the transaction) from the Client to allow it to comply with its anti-money laundering obligations (e.g. information concerning the owners and ultimate beneficiaries of the Client and the Client’s business activity, including data on the contractual partners, turnover, the share of cash and non-cash transactions, frequency of transactions, etc.). The Client agrees to immediately comply with and without any undue delay grant all needed information and documents related to any request for further information that Silverbird reasonably requires. If the Client, regardless of the respective request, does not submit to Silverbird the documents and relevant information requested by Silverbird, the Client shall be deemed to have fundamentally breached the Service Agreement and Silverbird may, without following the terms of prior notification, extraordinarily terminate the Service Agreement and any other agreement which serves as a basis for the business relationship.
Product and Service feesSilverbird shall have the right to receive and the Client shall be obliged to pay for the rendered Service fees, established in the General Terms and Conditions and/ the Price List. The Client shall be obliged to keep a sufficient amount of money on the Payment Account so that Silverbird can debit the Payment Account with all service fees and other sums and arrears payable. If Payment Account as a consequence of any action undertaken by the Client has a negative balance, the Client shall immediately without requirement of any notification from the side of Silverbird correct such balance, so it would be more or equal to zero. Silverbird may send notifications or take any other reasonable actions to recover such negative balance from the Client, including but not limited to employing debt collection services or instituting a legal action. Silverbird may charge the Client for reasonable costs incurred subsequently to any measures undertaken in this respect.
After the 30 days trial period ends (if applicable), Silverbird debits the monthly fee once a month in advance for the upcoming fee period. The fee period is 30 consecutive calendar days, based on a 360 day calendar year. For example, if the trial period ends on February 2nd, then the monthly fee will be charged on the same day. From then on, Silverbird will charge the monthly fee on 2nd date each month.
The Price List in force at any given time is available via Silverbird’s Electronic Channels. Silverbird may unilaterally amend the Price List at any time. The Client shall be notified of the amendment in accordance with the “Notices to the Client” section. The amendment enters into force on the date set out in the notice.
Termination of the business relationshipThe Client has the right to terminate the business relationship with immediate effect at any time by means of notice to Silverbird in accordance with the “Notices to the Client” section.
Silverbird has the right to terminate the business relationship for convenience at any time by giving one (1) month notice to the Client.
Silverbird has the right to terminate the business relationship with immediate effect in the event that:
· Silverbird suspects the Client of money laundering or terrorist financing;
· the Client has submitted incorrect, misleading or insufficient data or documents to Silverbird or refuses to submit the requested data or documents in due time;
· Silverbird suspects the Client of using Services in any restricted or prohibited activities or other illegal activities;
