HatchMatch Group operates an independent B2B marketplace from the Republic of Cyprus and is committed to compliance with applicable Cyprus, EU, UN, UK and US financial-crime, sanctions and anti-corruption laws. HatchMatch Group is not a financial institution and does not hold, transmit or convert funds; users remain responsible for their own compliance obligations.

1. Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) & Counter-Terrorist-Financing (CTF)

Users must not use the platform to launder proceeds of crime, structure or layer transactions, obscure beneficial ownership, or finance terrorism or proliferation. HatchMatch Group may, where appropriate, screen users, request identity, corporate, beneficial-ownership and source-of-funds documentation, refuse or unwind introductions, and cooperate with competent authorities. Independent financing partners perform their own KYC / AML / CDD; HatchMatch Group's introduction is not a substitute for their process.

2. International sanctions

Users must comply with applicable sanctions regimes, including EU restrictive measures, the Republic of Cyprus, United Nations Security Council resolutions, the UK Sanctions List, US OFAC (SDN, SSI and sectoral programmes), and any other regime applicable to them. The platform must not be used to source, sell, ship, transship, re-export or finance goods, services, technology or funds to or from any sanctioned country, entity, individual or vessel, or for any prohibited end-use.

3. Export control

Users must comply with all applicable export, re-export, transfer and end-use / end-user controls, including the EU Dual-Use Regulation, Cyprus export-control law, the US EAR (and ITAR where applicable) and the UK Strategic Export Control Lists. Users are responsible for classification, licensing and end-user certification of any controlled item routed through the platform.

4. Anti-bribery & anti-corruption

Users must comply with applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, including the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the UK Bribery Act 2010 and equivalent Cyprus / EU laws. Users must not offer, promise, give, request or accept any bribe, kickback, facilitation payment or undue advantage — directly or through intermediaries — in connection with the platform or with any introduction, RFQ, quote, permit, licence or transaction.

5. Screening & documentation

HatchMatch Group may, at its discretion and where appropriate, screen users against sanctions, PEP, adverse-media and beneficial-ownership registers; request supporting documentation; delay, refuse or unwind introductions; and retain records for the periods required by applicable law.

6. Reporting

Report suspected money laundering, sanctions violations, corruption or fraud to compliance@hatchmatchgroup.com. Retaliation against good-faith reporters is prohibited.

7. Enforcement

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, HatchMatch Group reserves the right to review, suspend or permanently terminate any user, account, listing, RFQ or transaction that presents a material AML, CTF, sanctions, export-control or anti-corruption risk.

8. Governing law

This Policy is governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus with exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Cyprus.
