These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you (“User”, “you”) and Intuition India OPC Private Limited, a One Person Company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 with its registered office at E295, D-E 6, Dwarka, New Delhi — 110078, India (“InTuition”, “we”, “us”), governing your access to and use of the InTuition Exchange platform at intuitionexchange.com and any related services (the “Platform”).
By creating an account, depositing funds, or placing any order on the Platform, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, and Cancellation Policy.
1. Eligibility
- You are an Indian resident, at least 18 years old, and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
- You are not on any sanctions list maintained by the United Nations, OFAC, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the Government of India, and you are not a politically exposed person who has not been onboarded under enhanced due diligence.
- You have completed our KYC process, including PAN and Aadhaar verification, and the information you provided is true, current, and complete.
- You will operate only one account on the Platform. Joint accounts, nominee accounts, and accounts opened on behalf of another person are not permitted.
2. Services we provide
The Platform allows you to (a) deposit Indian Rupees (INR) through Razorpay, (b) place orders to buy or sell virtual digital assets (“VDAs”), including listed cryptocurrencies and college-issued tokens (TUIT and similar), and (c) withdraw INR back to your verified bank account.
We provide an execution venue and a custodial wallet. We do not provide investment, legal, or tax advice. Information shown on the Platform — including prices, charts, listings, and educational content — is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell any asset.
3. KYC, AML, and CFT compliance
InTuition is a Reporting Entity under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) read with the Ministry of Finance notification dated 7 March 2023 bringing virtual digital asset service providers within the scope of the PMLA. Our registration with the Financial Intelligence Unit — India (FIU-IND) is in progress.
- We perform risk-based customer due diligence at onboarding and on an ongoing basis. We may at any time request additional documents to verify your identity, source of funds, or source of wealth.
- We monitor transactions for unusual or suspicious activity and file Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) and Cash Transaction Reports (CTRs) with FIU-IND as required.
- We may freeze, suspend, or close any account, and withhold the release of funds, where required by law, court order, or our internal AML/CFT policies — including for suspected money laundering, terrorism financing, sanctions evasion, structuring, or use of mixers, tumblers, or privacy-enhancing tools.
- Records of identification, accounts, and transactions are retained for at least five years from the date of the transaction or account closure, as required by Section 12 of the PMLA.
4. Deposits, withdrawals, and Razorpay
INR deposits are processed through Razorpay Software Private Limited, a payment aggregator authorised by the Reserve Bank of India. Razorpay is used solely to collect and settle INR amounts; the underlying VDA transactions on the Platform are not processed through Razorpay and Razorpay bears no responsibility for them.
- Deposits must originate from a bank account or UPI VPA in your own name. Third-party deposits will be reversed and may lead to account suspension.
- Withdrawals are released only to a bank account that has cleared a penny-drop name-match check against your verified KYC name.
- Deposit and withdrawal limits, fees, and processing windows are published on our Fees page and may be updated from time to time.
5. Trading rules
- Orders may execute fully, partially, or not at all, depending on liquidity. Quoted prices are indicative; the executed price is the price at which a counterparty is matched.
- You are responsible for the orders you place, including orders placed through the API. We do not reverse executed trades on account of price movement, user error, or change of mind.
- We may suspend trading of any market for maintenance, on the recommendation of the issuer, or where required for market integrity.
6. Risk disclosure
Virtual digital assets are not legal tender in India. They are not guaranteed by, and deposits in VDAs are not insured by, the Reserve Bank of India, the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation, or any other authority. VDA prices are highly volatile and can fall to zero. You may lose the entire value of your holdings.
College-issued tokens (TUIT and similar) carry additional risks specific to the issuing institution, including changes in the issuer’s acceptance, redemption terms, or operational status. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
7. Tax
Income from the transfer of virtual digital assets is taxable in India at a flat rate of 30% under Section 115BBH of the Income-tax Act, 1961, without deduction of any expense (other than cost of acquisition) and without set-off or carry-forward of losses. Section 194S requires us to deduct tax at source at 1% on consideration paid for the transfer of a VDA above the prescribed thresholds. You are responsible for reporting your VDA transactions in Schedule VDA of your Income Tax Return. The above is a summary, not tax advice — consult a qualified professional for your specific situation.
8. Prohibited use
You will not use the Platform to:
- launder the proceeds of crime, finance terrorism, evade sanctions, or engage in structuring or layering;
- deposit or withdraw funds on behalf of any third party;
- deposit, withdraw, or trade VDAs that have been mixed, tumbled, or routed through known privacy-enhancing tools;
- manipulate any market on the Platform, including through wash trades, spoofing, layering, or coordinated order placement;
- access the Platform from a jurisdiction in which doing so is prohibited or sanctioned, or while using a VPN or other tool to mask your jurisdiction;
- reverse-engineer, scrape, or otherwise abuse the Platform’s technical infrastructure.
Breach of this clause is grounds for permanent account closure, forfeiture of fees, reporting to FIU-IND and law-enforcement, and any other remedy available to us in law or equity.
9. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, with or without notice, where required by law, court order, regulatory direction, or our AML/CFT policy, or where we have reasonable grounds to believe you have breached these Terms.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, InTuition is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill arising from your use of the Platform. Our aggregate liability for any claim is limited to the total fees you have paid to us in the three months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
We are not liable for losses caused by events outside our reasonable control, including outages of payment aggregators or banks, blockchain network congestion, validator failure, hard forks, internet failure, or governmental action.
11. Indemnity
You will indemnify us, our officers, employees, and affiliates against any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law, or your infringement of any third-party right.
12. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by Indian law. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, by a sole arbitrator appointed by InTuition. The seat and venue of arbitration is New Delhi and the proceedings shall be conducted in English. Subject to the arbitration clause, courts at New Delhi have exclusive jurisdiction.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Continued use of the Platform after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
