This policy is incorporated into the Terms of Service. It explains where U.CASH cannot be used and how we screen for sanctions and illicit-finance risk.
U.CASH Inc. is committed to complying with applicable trade, economic, and financial sanctions, and to taking reasonable steps to prevent the Services from being used to violate them. We screen activity that passes through our systems where we have a technical handle to do so.
You may not access or use the Services if you are located in, or a resident or citizen of, a comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction, which generally includes the Crimea region, Cuba, Iran, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), and Syria, and any other region subject to comprehensive sanctions under the laws of Canada, the United States (OFAC), the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the United Nations. This list is not exhaustive and may change.
You may not use the Services if you are, or are owned or controlled by, a person or entity on a sanctions list, including the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list and the consolidated lists of Canada, the EU, the UK, and the UN. You represent that you are not such a person and that you will not use the Services on behalf of one.
Separately from sanctions, some regions restrict or prohibit the use of cryptocurrency, non-custodial payment tools, or specific tokens. You are responsible for knowing whether your use of the Services is lawful where you are. U.CASH may elect not to operate in certain regions and may restrict access accordingly.
Where the Services process a wallet address, a payment link, an account, or other activity that we can control, U.CASH may screen against sanctions and risk lists. This may include matching wallet addresses against published sanctioned-address lists and screening account information. Screening may result in a transaction, link, or account being delayed, blocked, or refused. We are not liable for any action taken in good faith based on a screen, including a false positive, and you waive any claim arising from such a block.
We may suspend or terminate access, block or refuse transactions, and report to the relevant authorities where required. Because U.CASH is non-custodial, we can act only on what is within our technical reach; we cannot reverse on-chain transactions or recover funds once sent. See also the Acceptable Use Policy.
Sanctions lists and laws change frequently. We may update this policy at any time and will revise the "Effective" date. For compliance questions, contact [email protected].
