Toshi Holdings Pte. Ltd. (“Toshi Holdings” or “we” or “us” or “our”) makes available to users that are merchants certain software services accessible via a mobile device or web application, including Commerce (commonly known as Coinbase Commerce) (the “Commerce Application” or “App”). Toshi Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Coinbase Global, Inc. The Commerce Application enables users to (i) accept cryptocurrency as a payment method for goods and services; (ii) self custody digital assets; (iii) access reporting and invoicing capabilities; and (iv) additional functionality as Toshi Holdings may add to the App from time to time (collectively the “Services”). Toshi Holdings developed these Terms of Service (these “Terms”) to describe the terms that govern your use of all versions of the Commerce Application. These terms and additional information about the Commerce Application can be found on the Coinbase website located at https://commerce.coinbase.com (the “Site”).

You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services is subject to, and that we can collect, use and/or disclose your information (including any personal data you provide to us) in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We may modify the Terms at any time at our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Site, by providing you a notice through the App, or through other methods of communication which we deem reasonable. The modified Terms will be effective at the time they are either posted on the Site, provided as a notice through the App, or through other methods of communication which we deem reasonable, whichever is earliest, unless we indicate otherwise. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we modify them because if you continue to use the Services after we have modified the Terms, you are agreeing to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you may not use the Services.
