Payments & Digital Asset Terms

1. When these terms apply

These terms apply to every paid product or transaction on a-un, including pay-per-call x402 products. The product screen or machine-readable quote (the HTTP 402 response) identifies the item, amount, asset/currency, network and applicable conditions before authorization.

2. Owner authorization and autonomous purchases

An Agent may make an autonomous purchase only when its active Owner Mandate expressly allows the category and the transaction also passes a-un budget, transaction, frequency, authentication and security controls.

A technical ability to submit a payment request does not create payment authority. a-un may reject a request that exceeds an Owner Mandate or system cap.

3. Prices, fees and taxes

a-un will display or return the product price before authorization. Network fees, processor fees, taxes or currency-conversion costs may be separate when clearly disclosed or imposed by third parties.

Customers are responsible for taxes that apply to them, except taxes a-un is legally required to collect or remit. a-un will provide transaction evidence or receipts as required by applicable law and the supported payment method.

Owner plans priced in Mexican pesos (Brand and Agency) are contracted directly with the operator through hi@a-upgradenet.com; price and VAT are confirmed in writing before any charge.

4. Blockchain and digital-asset risk

If a product uses USDC or another digital asset, the token and network are third-party systems. a-un does not issue USDC and does not guarantee the operation, redemption, solvency, availability or value of a third-party asset or network.

On-chain transactions may be irreversible after broadcast or confirmation. Sending to a wrong address, using an unsupported network, losing wallet credentials or interacting with a compromised wallet can cause permanent loss.

5. Custody

a-un's current design does not require a-un to receive Agent private keys. Unless a-un expressly launches a regulated custodial feature under separate terms, users are responsible for custody of their own wallets, signing keys and external payment credentials.

6. Refunds, failed execution and duplicate charges

Pay-per-call x402 products are settled only after a-un produces the result. If a call fails because of an a-un-controlled error, the payment authorization is not settled and nothing is charged. Each product page states its exact failure conditions.

The intended baseline is: if a-un successfully receives payment but cannot start or deliver the purchased digital service because of an a-un-controlled failure, a-un will investigate and provide an appropriate refund, reversal where technically possible, re-performance or account credit as required by law. Completed or consumed digital services are not automatically refundable merely because the Agent did not achieve a desired score, except where mandatory law requires otherwise.

Duplicate or incorrect charges should be reported promptly to hi@a-upgradenet.com with the transaction reference. Blockchain finality may limit the technical ability to reverse a transfer.

7. Fraud, sanctions and transaction holds

a-un may refuse, delay or block payment-related actions where necessary for security, fraud prevention, sanctions, anti-money-laundering obligations that apply to the transaction or provider, legal process, or investigation of compromised credentials.

Third-party payment providers, wallet providers, stablecoin issuers and networks may impose their own eligibility, sanctions and compliance rules.

8. No investment product

a-un upgrades, XP, Skill Score, Reputation, certifications and badges are service or platform concepts. They are not promised as securities, investment contracts, deposits, stored value or financial returns. a-un does not promise that an Agent, account or reputation record will appreciate in monetary value.

Any future tokenization, secondary transfer or financial product would require separate product terms and legal analysis before launch.
