3. Nature of Services - What Aventis Is and Is Not

CRITICAL: This section defines the legal nature of the Aventis platform. Please read it in full.

3.1 Aventis Is a Software Orchestration Platform

Aventis provides software that orchestrates and coordinates third-party licensed financial services on behalf of Customers. Aventis does not itself provide money transmission, payment processing, currency exchange, or any other regulated financial service.

3.2 Aventis Is Not a Money Transmitter

Aventis Pay, Inc. is not a money transmitter and does not hold a money transmitter license. Aventis does not:

  • Accept, hold, or transmit fiat currency (USD, INR, or any other currency) on behalf of Customers or their vendors;
  • Receive, store, or disburse funds in any currency;
  • Operate a pooled or omnibus account holding Customer funds;
  • Set, control, or profit from foreign exchange rates applied to Customer transactions;
  • Issue payment instruments, stored value, or prepaid access;
  • Act as a payment intermediary between Customers and their vendors.

All fiat currency handling - including the receipt of USD from Customers, the conversion of USD to USDC, and the conversion of USDC to INR - is performed exclusively by licensed Third-Party Service providers, specifically Bridge Financial Technologies, Inc. (for fiat on-ramp) and Saber Money (for INR off-ramp). Aventis merely instructs these licensed services on the Customer's behalf pursuant to Customer authorisation.

3.3 Aventis Is Not a Custodian

Aventis does not custody, hold, control, or have the ability to access Customer funds at any point in the payment lifecycle. Specifically:

Customer USDC is held exclusively in non-custodial Wallets created via Privy, Inc. The private keys to these Wallets are generated within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and are controlled solely by the Customer. Aventis has no ability to access, transfer, freeze, or seize funds in Customer Wallets.

Aventis interacts with Customer Wallets solely through a scoped delegated signing session, explicitly authorised by the Customer at onboarding. This delegation is narrowly scoped to: (i) transfers to pre-approved vendor addresses on the Customer's approved vendor list only; and (ii) amounts not exceeding the Customer's self-defined per-transaction limit. Aventis cannot use this delegation to transfer funds to any other address or in excess of approved limits.

Aventis does not operate as a virtual asset service provider (VASP) or digital asset custodian under any applicable regulatory framework.

3.4 Aventis Is Not a Bank or Financial Institution

Aventis is not a bank, savings institution, credit union, or depository institution. Aventis does not offer deposit accounts, lending products, credit facilities, or any product insured by the FDIC or NCUA. Customer funds are not insured by any government deposit insurance scheme.

3.5 Third-Party Regulated Services

The following Third-Party Services perform regulated financial activities within the Aventis payment flow and are solely responsible for compliance with applicable laws and regulations:

Bridge Financial Technologies, Inc.
Licensed money transmitter responsible for receiving USD from Customers via ACH or wire and converting it to USDC. Bridge's terms of service and licenses govern this activity.

Saber Money
Licensed payment service provider in India, responsible for receiving USDC, converting it to INR, and disbursing INR to vendor bank accounts via IMPS/NEFT/RTGS. Saber Money's terms and Indian regulatory licenses govern this activity.

Privy, Inc.
Provider of non-custodial embedded wallet infrastructure. Privy is a software provider and does not hold or transmit funds.

AIPRISE
Provider of KYB verification services for Customer identity verification.

TRM Labs
Provider of blockchain compliance and transaction screening services.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that your financial transactions are subject to the terms, conditions, and regulatory obligations of the relevant Third-Party Service providers, and that Aventis is not a party to those financial transactions.

5. Non-Custodial Wallet

5.1 User-Controlled Wallet

As part of onboarding, you will create a non-custodial, user-controlled Wallet via Privy. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Your Wallet private keys are generated and held exclusively within a Trusted Execution Environment controlled by you. Neither Aventis nor Privy has access to your private keys.
  • You are solely responsible for the security of your Wallet and the authorisations you grant through it.
  • Aventis's interaction with your Wallet is limited to the delegated signing session you authorise at onboarding, scoped to approved vendor addresses and your self-defined transaction limits.
  • If you revoke the delegated session, Aventis will be unable to process payments until you re-authorise a new session.

5.2 Loss of Access

If you lose access to your Wallet, Aventis has no ability to recover access or restore the USDC held within it. Privy provides key recovery mechanisms which you should configure and maintain. Aventis accepts no liability for loss of funds resulting from loss of Wallet access.

Before a vendor can receive INR payments, the vendor must complete Saber Money's KYC process via a link generated by the Platform. You are responsible for ensuring your vendors complete this process.
