6.3. Currency Conversion. Where a Card Transaction is conducted in a currency other than your billing currency, the transaction amount will be converted using the exchange rate applied by the Card Network on the processing date. ByteEnerge and/or the Issuer may apply an additional currency conversion margin. An international transaction fee may also be charged, as set out in the applicable Fee Schedule or on the App.
6.4. ByteEnerge expressly reserves the right to manage the balance or assets available in your account for the purposes of the final settlement of Card Transactions, which may include freezing amounts, converting them into relevant fiat currency, or imposing limits on the amounts that can be used, to ensure compliance with these Terms and to facilitate settlement by the Issuer on the Card Network.

For the avoidance of doubt, providing Card Data in clear text over fax, email or other unencrypted or otherwise unprotected media is not considered to be secure.
