Terms of service
These terms
- These terms govern your use of the Blackworld website, the partnership and sales forms, support, and the signed-in desk.
- By using the site you agree to these terms. If you use the site for a company, you confirm that you may bind that company.
- These terms cover the website and the accounts, cards, and payments used here.
Definitions
- “Blackworld”, “we”, and “us” mean Blackworld, at 254 San José Street, San Juan, PR 00901.
- “Desk” means the signed-in accounts, cards, payments, exchange, and approvals.
- “You” means the person using the site and, where you act for a company, that company.
- “Agreement” means the separate contract for a live account, when one is signed.
Who may use the site
- The site is for businesses, fintechs, and institutions, and for people those organizations authorize.
- You must give an email you are allowed to use, and information you are allowed to share.
- We may refuse access where the use does not fit this institution or these terms.
Retail banking
- Retail banking ended in October 2025.
- This site does not open consumer accounts, personal savings, or personal checking.
- A person who is not acting for a business, fintech, or institution should not apply.
Partnership applications
- An application asks for the institution, the contact, and the services you want.
- Submitting an application does not reserve an account, a card program, or a payment limit.
- We may ask for more information, decline the application, or offer an agreement. Approval is in writing.
The desk
- The desk is where accounts, cards, transfers, exchange, approvals, and support are used.
- Balances, cards, and payments on the desk follow these terms.
- A transfer is authorized with the PIN for that account.
Accounts
- An account on the desk has a name, a role of administrator or member, balances by currency, and a status of active or inactive.
- An inactive account cannot sign in.
- An administrator sets roles, status, permission to create accounts, and balance adjustments. A member cannot change those for the desk.
Balances
- Each account keeps a balance for each currency the desk supports.
- A payment needs a sufficient balance for the amount and the fee shown before you confirm.
- A recorded incoming item is credited after the fee shown on that screen.
Payments
- Send asks for the holder, the bank, the amount, and the rail details on the screen, including a US routing number or a SWIFT code.
- A transfer fee of 1% is taken from the same balance as the payment.
- A member whose transfer, including the fee, is above that account’s approval limit waits for an administrator. An administrator may send within the rules of the desk without that wait.
- A scheduled payment runs the next time the desk is open on or after the chosen date, and the fee is taken then.
Fees
- Foreign exchange on the site uses the ECB reference rate and a fee of 0.5%.
- A recorded card deposit shows a fee of 2.5%, taken before the credit.
- A transfer shows a fee of 1%.
- A live account may carry other fees. Those fees are in the agreement, or in a fee schedule given to you before they apply. We will tell you before a fee on a live account changes.
Cards
- A card on the desk belongs to the account that created it.
- You may freeze a card. A frozen card remains on the account and cannot be used.
- Card programs, spending limits, and physical cards follow the agreement for that account.
Foreign exchange
- Rates on the public converter are reference rates. If a live rate request fails, the page uses the rates bundled with the site.
- A conversion on the desk uses the rate and the 0.5% fee shown before you confirm.
- We do not promise a particular rate until the screen shows the rate you accept.
Security
- Sign-in uses the email and password for the account.
- Do not share the password, the PIN, a recovery code, or an API key.
- Tell us promptly if you believe access has been misused, using the email or the support form on this site.
Administrators and members
- An administrator may invite a member and set whether that member may create accounts.
- A member sees that member’s account, cards, and approvals. An administrator sees the approvals on the desk.
- The desk will not remove the last administrator from that role.
Notices
- The desk keeps notices for each account. Unread notices appear at the bell.
- Alerts on a device are optional and depend on the permission you give that browser.
- A message about these terms goes to the email on the account, or to the email you enter on a form.
API
- The documentation describes accounts, cards, payments, and foreign exchange.
- An API key issued for the account authorizes the calls described in the documentation.
- Keep each key secret. You are responsible for calls made with a key issued to you.
Acceptable use
- Do not misuse the site, probe it for a weakness, or attempt to read another institution’s information.
- Do not send an application or a support message with information you are not authorized to give.
- Do not use the site for fraud, unlawful activity, or to hide the source of funds.
Sanctions, KYC, and AML
- A live account requires the identity and ownership checks we ask for.
- We may pause a live service to finish those checks or to meet a legal duty.
- We do not offer a service where sanctions or another law prohibit it.
Your information
- The privacy page describes sign-in, forms, and exchange rates on this site.
- A support message is delivered to the contact address published on the site. The email you enter is the address for the reply.
- You may ask us to correct contact details you sent by writing to that same address.
Intellectual property
- The site, the name Blackworld, and the materials we publish belong to us or are used with permission.
- You may not copy the site to run a competing service, or remove the notices on it.
- You keep ownership of what you type into a form. You let us use it to reply and to consider an application.
Availability
- We work to keep the site available. Maintenance, a network failure, or a dependency we rely on can interrupt it.
- The service is SOC 2 Type II, with a 99.99% API uptime target. Maintenance can still interrupt the website.
- The public site can change as the service is updated.
Liability
- Where the law allows, we are not liable for a decision you take in reliance on a balance, a rate, or a payment shown on the desk.
- Where a live agreement applies, liability is the liability that agreement states.
- Nothing in these terms limits a liability that the law does not allow us to limit.
Suspension and closure
- We may suspend access to the site or the desk if these terms are broken, or if we need to protect the service.
- You may stop using the site at any time. Sign out on the device you used.
- Closing a live account follows the agreement.
Changes
- We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page is the date of the version you are reading.
- If you keep using the site after that date changes, you accept the updated terms.
- A change to a live agreement is made in the way that agreement describes.
Complaints
- Write to blackworld1656749@gmail.com, or use the support form.
- Include the institution, the email, and what happened. We aim to answer within one business day.
- If you are not satisfied, you may take the matter to the courts named in the next section. A live agreement may add its own process.
Law and disputes
- These terms are governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
- The courts of Puerto Rico sitting in San Juan may hear a dispute about these terms.
- Before you file, write to us and allow 30 days for a reply, unless you need urgent relief from a court.
