• Infringing intellectual property, selling counterfeit or deceptive products.

Prohibited behaviour

• Creating several accounts or splitting payments to circumvent a control.
• Providing false information, or using a third party's identity, wallet or number without authorisation.
• Testing, disrupting, abusively automating or attempting to compromise Wedge.
• Reselling, renting out or commercially exploiting access without written agreement.

Checks and cooperation

We may ask for information about a transaction, its recipient or the source of the funds. We may refuse, hold, cancel or report a transaction where a verification is incomplete or a risk is detected, within the limits of applicable law.

Consequences

A breach may lead to a transaction being rejected, to a restriction, a suspension or a closure, and to cooperation with the competent providers, operators or authorities where the law requires it.

Reporting abuse

Report any suspicious use promptly to contact@wedge.money with the relevant details. Never share a private key, a recovery phrase or a password.

Scope of the policy

This Policy applies to any access to the Wedge site, app, support and features, including attempted transactions and conduct carried out through a third party.

Duty of good faith

The user must act honestly, provide accurate information and use Wedge for its stated purpose. Any misleading presentation of a payment, a recipient or an activity is prohibited.

Beneficial owner

The user must not conceal the person who actually benefits from the funds, nor act as a front. Wedge may ask for the identity of a recipient, the relationship and the economic rationale.

Source of funds

The crypto-assets used must come from a lawful source. The user must be able to explain their origin and produce reasonable evidence where a check requires it.

Sanctioned persons and countries

Using Wedge for the benefit of a person, entity, organisation or territory subject to an applicable prohibition is forbidden. A potential match may lead to a freeze or enhanced review.

Bribery and influence peddling

Wedge may not be used to pay a bribe, a hidden commission, an improper advantage or a payment intended to unlawfully influence a public or private decision.

Political funding

Any payment linked to a campaign, a party, a candidate or a political organisation must be lawful and transparent. Wedge may prohibit such transactions or make them subject to prior review.

Donations and charities

Donations must be intended for a legitimate and authorised organisation. Opaque collections, those unregistered where registration is required, or those presenting a risk of diversion, may be refused.

Unauthorised financial services

The user may not use Wedge to carry on, without authorisation, an activity of currency exchange, transfer, lending, investment, deposit-taking, asset management or financial intermediation.

Gambling and betting

Payments linked to gambling, betting, lotteries or paid competitions are prohibited where they are unlawful, unauthorised or incompatible with the rules of the provider concerned.

Regulated products

Payments for medicines, alcohol, tobacco, chemicals or other regulated goods must comply with the applicable licences, age restrictions and marketing rules. Wedge may exclude certain categories.

Harmful content and services

Payments linked to exploitation, unlawful violence, hatred, harassment, non-consensual intimate content or any serious attack on the dignity and safety of others are prohibited.

Cybercrime

Wedge must not fund, or receive the proceeds of, hacking, malware, phishing, data theft, unauthorised access, denial-of-service attacks or the sale of compromised credentials.

Counterfeiting and third-party rights

Payments concerning counterfeit products, pirated content, stolen trade secrets or other infringements of intellectual property rights are prohibited.

Commercial fraud

Fake investments, pyramid schemes, fake shops, sales with no intention to deliver, support impersonation and deliberately deceptive commercial practices are prohibited.

Trafficking and exploitation

No transaction may be linked to human trafficking, forced labour, sexual exploitation, unlawful prostitution or the exploitation of a minor.

Weapons and illicit substances

Payments relating to prohibited weapons, explosives, narcotics, precursors or substances whose sale is unlawful are strictly forbidden.

Circumventing limits

Splitting, aggregating, re-routing or using several accounts, wallets or recipients in order to avoid a limit, a verification or a prohibition is forbidden.

Automation and abusive load

No robot, script or automated tool may access the service without written authorisation. The user must not overload, scrape, probe or disrupt the infrastructure.

Reverse engineering

Decompiling, circumventing a protection, extracting the code, reproducing an interface or searching for a vulnerability outside an expressly authorised security programme is forbidden.

Account security

The user must immediately report a lost device, a suspicious sign-in or an unrecognised transaction. They must not share their access or allow a third party to circumvent the rules.

Investigations and supporting documents

Wedge may request invoices, contracts, evidence of a relationship, screenshots or explanations. Refusal, unjustified delay or producing a falsified document may lead to a restriction.

Reports and confidentiality

Wedge may pass a report to the competent authorities or partners where there is an obligation or a well-founded suspicion. The law may prevent us from telling the user the detail of that step.

Review and appeal

A restriction may be reconsidered on a reasoned request sent to contact@wedge.money. Reconsideration does not guarantee that the measure will be lifted and remains subject to legal obligations and the decisions of the competent providers.
