Customer acknowledges that it is a lawful entity engaging Intercam to conduct a transaction related to commercial risk.
Section 3. Formation and Authorization of Foreign Exchange Transactions
- Regardless of whether confirmed in writing, a Foreign Exchange Transaction under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been initiated when Intercam receives a request submitted by Customer to Intercam orally, or by telephone, email, facsimile or telex (each, an “Instruction”).

It is Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure that all information contained in the Instruction for each Foreign Exchange Transaction is complete and accurate. Intercam may accept, reject, or seek to confirm this Instruction at its sole discretion. If accepted by Intercam, the Foreign Exchange Transaction will be deemed entered into, pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date of acceptance.

Intercam agrees to issue promptly the Confirmation memorializing the Foreign Exchange Transaction in accordance with procedures established by Intercam from time to time.
- The Confirmation shall be conclusive evidence of a Foreign Exchange Transaction; provided, however, that Intercam’s failure to issue a Confirmation or Customer’s failure to receive a Confirmation will not affect the formation, validity or effectiveness of the relevant Foreign Exchange Transaction. If a written objection by Customer is not received by Intercam within one (1) Business Day following Customer’s receipt of Confirmation, the Confirmation shall be deemed to be accurate and complete, absent manifest error. If a Confirmation is not received or presented to Customer for any reason, the Customer should notify Intercam immediately by contacting an Intercam representative at confirmations@intercamfx.us to request a Confirmation.
- Customer agrees that Intercam may electronically record all telephonic conversations between the Parties in connection with the Foreign Exchange Transactions entered into hereunder, including but not limited to Customer’s Instruction and any confirmation of such transactions.

Section 6. Customer Identification and Representations
- To help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Applicable Law requires Intercam to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Customer.

Section 8. Transaction Date
- If Customer specifies in its Instructions a Transaction Date that is not a Business Day , the Transaction Date for the Foreign Exchange Transaction will be the next Business Day, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Confirmation.

Section 10. Change of Delivery Date or Cancellation by Customer
Customer may cancel a Foreign Exchange Transaction or change the Transaction Date, or other terms thereof, as applicable, only with and subject to prior written consent of Intercam.
Section 11. Termination by Intercam
Upon the occurrence of any of the events (a) through (h) listed below, Intercam may terminate all outstanding Foreign Exchange Transactions upon notice to Customer. Upon termination of all outstanding Foreign Exchange Transactions, an amount will be payable equal to (i) the sum of the “termination settlement amount” and all unpaid amounts owing to Intercam under the terminated Foreign Exchange Transactions less (ii) all unpaid amounts owing to Customer under the terminated Foreign Exchange Transactions. If such termination settlement amount is a positive number, Customer shall pay such amount to Intercam. If such termination settlement amount is a negative number, Intercam shall pay the absolute value of such amount to Customer. “Termination settlement amount” shall mean the sum of (1) the amount quoted (market quotation) by a financial institution participating in the applicable foreign exchange market as payable to Intercam (expressed as a negative number) or by Intercam (expressed as a positive number) for entering into an agreement with Intercam that would have the effect of preserving for Intercam the economic equivalent of any payment that, but for such termination, would have been required under each terminated Foreign Exchange Transaction; and (2) Intercam’s total loss (without reference to any unpaid amount), including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or any other cost incurred (or gain in which case expressed as negative number) for each terminated Foreign Exchange Transaction for which a market quotation cannot be determined or is not available.

- Customer fails to perform all or part of any agreement entered into with third parties or any other event of default occurs under such agreements such that acceleration thereof is effected or likely to be effected;

- Any information or representation made by Customer in the Application is or becomes materially incorrect or incomplete; or

Section 12. Settlement
- Customer shall deliver on the delivery date the amount of currency as agreed in the Confirmation.
- Each of the persons (each an “Authorized User”) whose name, title, email address, signature and telephone number are listed in the Application, is authorized to provide or issue any settlement instruction with respect to a Foreign Exchange Transaction. Intercam shall be entitled to rely on all information in the Application and the full and complete authority of Authorized User for all purposes under this Agreement without any duty on the part of Intercam to verify or confirm such information or authority. Customer shall promptly notify Intercam in writing or in any other manner, in case of any change, addition or deletion of the information confirmed in the Application. Intercam may require Customer to provide a signed corporate resolution or such other equivalent documentation authorizing such Authorized Users.
- Customer shall execute and deliver any instruments or other documents, including power of attorney, necessary or reasonably requested to authorize Intercam to debit any account which the Customer holds at the financial institution at which Intercam instructs Customer to remit payment for settlement of a Foreign Exchange Transaction. If Intercam debits Customer’s account, Intercam shall promptly notify Customer thereof. Customer may maintain a balance with Intercam for a maximum of twenty-eight (28) days. Customer shall be responsible for all risks (e.g., volatility of the foreign currency market) associated with Customer maintaining a balance with Intercam in one or more foreign currencies. If Intercam does not receive a timely Instruction for the disposition of such funds or is not able to execute a Foreign Exchange Transaction for any reason as provided herein, those funds will be converted to USD at the then-prevailing exchange rate(s) and returned to Customer. Customer may request to extend this period by phone call or email to a Intercam representative, and Intercam may agree to do so from time to time in its sole discretion.
Section 13. Settlement Netting and Offset
In the event that there are amounts payable in the same currency by both Parties regarding one or more Foreign Exchange Transactions, the two amounts up to the lesser amount may in Intercam’s sole discretion be netted against each other, offset and extinguished, and the Party whose amount is greater shall pay the other Party the amount in excess of such offset amount.
Section 14. Expenses
- Customer shall be liable for any and all costs whatsoever, including fees and expenses (including reasonable legal expenses and the costs for legal proceedings subject to, if applicable, any court decision in respect of allocation of such costs between the Parties) and compensation for damages incurred in connection with the preparation, due execution of and implementation of all Foreign Exchange Transactions under this Agreement, absent gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct on the part of Intercam, and Customer shall pay such amounts promptly upon demand. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer shall be responsible for payment or reimbursement, as applicable, of any costs, expenses or fees charged or arising in connection with services for Foreign Exchange Transactions provided or performed by third-party banks or other financial institutions.
- If Customer fails to perform any obligations on or prior to the Transaction Date, Customer shall pay the default interest accrued on such amount for the period from the Transaction Date to the actual settlement date, calculated at the rate applicable to a loan denominated in USD.
- The rate, calculation method applicable to costs, fees and expenses, compensation for damages and the default interest set forth in the preceding Sections 14(a) and 14(b), and the exchange rate and application thereof, shall be determined by Intercam unless otherwise specified in a Confirmation or this Agreement.
- If one Party (“Debtor”) has paid or reimbursed the other Party (the “Creditor”) in currency (the “Payment Currency”) other than the currency agreed under the relevant Foreign Exchange Transaction (the “Contract Currency”) as a result of a judgement of a court or distribution resulting from any liquidation, Debtor’s obligation shall be discharged only to the extent of the equivalent amount of the Payment Currency converted into the Contract Currency. In such event, the applicable exchange rate shall be the rate designated by Intercam applicable to the Contract Currency as of the date of payment or reimbursement. If the equivalent amount converted into the Contract Currency is less than the amount originally due to Creditor in the Contract Currency, Debtor agrees to pay the Creditor such deficiency promptly. If the equivalent amount converted into the Contract Currency exceeds the amount originally due to Creditor in the Contract Currency, Creditor agrees to pay to the Debtor such excess. The payment obligations of deficiency or excess shall be deemed separate and independent obligation from the other obligations under the existing foreign exchange contract.
Section 15. Acknowledgement of Risks
Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Foreign Exchange Transactions are bilateral negotiated agreements between the Parties and are conducted as off-exchange, over-the-counter transactions not entitled to benefits or protections of transactions occurring on regulated exchanges and are subject to various risks including, but not limited to, the risks set forth in Section 15(a) below; (ii) any Foreign Exchange Transaction in which Customer engages with Intercam will be for and in connection with the conduct of Customer’s business and not for speculative or investment purposes; and (iii) Intercam is acting in the capacity of effecting Foreign Exchange Transactions through one or more correspondent third-party financial institutions, as the same may change from time to time, and that Intercam is not responsible and will not be held liable for any action(s) or omission(s) to act by such financial institutions.
- Certain risks in connection with Foreign Exchange Transactions.
- Exchange rate risk. Foreign currency exchange rates are not fixed and vary from time to time, in some cases substantially and within a short period of time. Any such variation(s) may have an adverse impact on the price at which Customer engages in Foreign Exchange Transactions and thereby the cost to Customer of engaging in such transactions.
- Settlement, delivery and counterparty risk. Foreign Exchange Transactions will be effectuated through a correspondent account maintained by Intercam at one or more third-party financial institutions. There is a risk that any monies in such an account may become subject to levy or attachment by third-party creditors, or that such monies could become part of a claim or charge in bankruptcy. Intercam does not intend to specifically designate any such monies for the benefit or account of Customer, and as a result there is a risk that any such monies belonging to Customer may become encumbered or levied upon by legal actions or process unrelated or unknown to either Customer or Intercam. Any credit risk or liquidity risk to which Intercam or such correspondent account is subject may cause settlement risk that Intercam will fail to deliver and complete its obligations under this Agreement.
- Operational and system risk. Foreign Exchange Transactions will generally be conducted using various processing systems to execute, clear and settle transactions across numerous and diverse payment mechanisms, each of which may be operated or maintained by third parties outside of Intercam’s control. In addition, Intercam will rely on information systems to store information about Customers. Certain of these systems will be operated by third parties, and Intercam cannot guarantee reliability of such third-party systems. Failures in any of such systems could result in errors made in the confirmation or settlement of transactions, or in transactions not being properly recorded, evaluated or accounted for. Disruptions in any computer systems, hardware, software or telecommunications equipment used or employed in connection with Foreign Exchange Transactions may cause, among other things, financial loss, the disruption of Customer’s business, potential liability to third parties, regulatory intervention or reputational damage.
- Cybersecurity risk. Intercam, and any financial intermediary or service provider participating or involved in a Foreign Exchange Transaction, may process, store and transmit electronic information, including confidential or personally identifiable information of Customer. Although such parties are expected to have procedures and systems in place that are reasonably designed to protect such information and prevent data loss and security breaches, any such measures cannot provide absolute security. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to data, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently and may be difficult to detect before loss occurs. Security breach in or of any of the relevant information systems may cause information relating to Foreign Exchange Transactions and confidential or personally identifiable information of Customer to be lost or improperly accessed, used or disclosed.
Section 16. Sanctions Compliance
In certain circumstances, Intercam, or its intermediary or correspondent financial institutions, may be obliged to freeze or block a Foreign Exchange Transaction to comply with Applicable Law, including compliance with US sanctions laws and regulations enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Controls of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”). Intercam and/or the relevant intermediary or correspondent financial institution(s) each, as applicable, have a duty not to execute a Foreign Exchange Transaction prohibited by Applicable Law.
If this occurs, Intercam and its representatives are not liable to Customer for any resulting losses whatsoever and Customer agrees to indemnify and hold Intercam and its representatives harmless to the extent that Intercam and its representatives incur any losses in connection with the freezing or blocking of Customer’s Foreign Exchange Transaction.
If this occurs, Intercam and its representatives are not liable to Customer for any resulting losses whatsoever and Customer agrees to indemnify and hold Intercam and its representatives harmless to the extent that Intercam and its representatives incur any losses in connection with the freezing or blocking of Customer’s Foreign Exchange Transaction.
Section 17. Errors and Discrepancies
Customer must promptly review each Confirmation, report, or other reporting or advisory communication regarding Foreign Exchange Transactions or transaction history issued by Intercam and promptly notify Intercam of any error, discrepancy, irregularity or unauthorized activity. Customer may not assert any claim against Intercam or its representatives in connection with any errors, discrepancies or irregularities if Customer did not exercise reasonable care in examining any such communication which reflected such errors, discrepancies or irregularities, or if Customer did not notify Intercam in writing and in a reasonably prompt manner that Customer disputes any information contained in, or missing from, any communication. Customer shall provide Intercam with all information necessary for Intercam to investigate the error, discrepancy, or irregularity. Customer may also contact Intercam’s regulators directly.
