6.2. In respect of an Individual Account, your Account is provided on the basis that you are the only authorised user of the Account. In respect of a Corporate Account, your Account is provided on the basis that you and your Authorised Representatives are the only authorised users of the Account. You must not provide your Account details (including any access credentials, such as your email address, password or API Key(s)) to any third party other than for the purposes of verifying or auditing your Account. Such third parties are not permitted to trade on the Trading Platform or make Withdrawals or Deposits, and they will be deemed to have agreed to (and must comply with) these Terms of Service, and you will be responsible for the actions (and omissions) of any such third parties.

6.3. At the time of Account opening, or any time afterwards, we may make certain features, rights or privileges (which may be necessary in order to use certain functions or aspects of the Services) available on your Account at our sole and absolute discretion.

You agree that any trading or other instructions received or made under your Account (including through the Trading Platform) are deemed to be final and conclusive, and we may act on such trading or other instructions and shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising out of the improper use of your Account.

7. Account Security

7.1. We implement certain security controls to prevent malicious actors from accessing your Account. We also provide the option for you to enable two-factor authentication in respect of your Account. However, you are responsible for safeguarding your authentication credentials and for restricting access to the Services from your compatible devices. You must also ensure that your login credentials are safe, limit access to your Account to authorised persons and control the devices which can operate the Account. You must let us know immediately if an unauthorised person is accessing or using your Account.

7.2. We may implement or impose additional security controls from time to time at our sole and absolute discretion (including mandatory two-factor authentication for Account log-in and password resets).

We may amend or vary these security controls in our sole and absolute discretion and without prior Notice to you.

until such time as we can verify your identity or any other relevant information.

7.6. Upon a breach of security, you will immediately take all reasonable steps to mitigate the effects and will cooperate with us (and provide us with all information requested) to remediate the breach. Any assistance provided by us in relation to a security breach does not in any way operate as acceptance or acknowledgement that we are in any way responsible or liable to you or any other party in connection with such breach. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your Account and/or any unauthorised access to and use of your Account (including access to and use of any of the Services), including, without limitation, in circumstances where you have provided notice to us under these Terms of Service.

8. Account Suspension, Termination or Closure

8.1. Nothing in this Clause 8 shall limit any rights we have under the Exchange Rules to (i) reject or cancel any instruction or (ii) close, reverse, off-set (including by entering into an opposite and equal Trade), liquidate, mitigate, deleverage or settle any open Orders, Trades or Positions.

• k) deal with any of your available Account Balance in the following manner:

  • i) transfer to you all the available Account Balance (after subtracting any amount owing to us or otherwise deductible in accordance with these Terms of Service):

    • A) to a Withdrawal Address provided by you – and you undertake to provide a Withdrawal Address to us within 2 days upon our request for these purposes; or

    • B) to any Withdrawal Address registered with your Account; or

Where permissible under Applicable Laws and at our discretion, we may permit you to amend existing and open Orders and Positions and/or withdraw your Account Balance but restrict you from placing new Trades through the Trading Platform.

8.3. We are not liable for any loss, damage or costs (without limitation) which you may incur when we take any or all of the steps mentioned in Clause 8.2. You expressly agree that we shall not be liable to you for any profit or loss as a result of any action we take in respect of your open Orders, Trades or Positions.

8.4. Our failure or delay to take immediate action set out in Clause 8.2 does not constitute a waiver of any of our rights, and we retain the right to take the steps at any time in respect of your Account.

8.5. An Account Breach occurs when we, at our sole and absolute discretion, determine:

• a) you breach or fail to perform or observe these Terms of Service, the Exchange Rules or any other terms incorporated by reference in or to these Terms of Service or applicable to you in respect of the Account or the Services*;*

8.6. In the event of a User’s death or incapacitation, the person authorised to act on behalf of the deceased or incapacitated User (or such User’s estate) should contact Support.

9. Deposits, Withdrawals, and Transfers

9.1. The Trading Platform and all calculations are currently denominated in bitcoin or USD Tether (with transfer and credit on the Bitcoin blockchain and Ethereum blockchain, respectively). We may allow the use of other digital assets and denominate the Trading Platform and calculations using such other digital assets from time to time at our sole and absolute discretion (with transfer and credit on the applicable blockchain, according to such policies and procedures as we may determine).

Deposits

9.2. We will provide your Account with one or more applicable deposit addresses (each a “Deposit Address”), unless otherwise restricted under these Terms of Service (and may, from time to time, allow for the use of more than one Deposit Address in respect of any digital asset, at our discretion).

9.3. When you make an instruction to transfer the applicable digital assets to a Deposit Address (each such transfer, a “Deposit”):

• a) in order for such transfer to be effective, you are required to transfer to the Company all right, title and interest in the relevant amount of digital assets free from all liens, claims, charges and encumbrances;

• b) we will typically credit each Deposit after receiving at least one confirmation of the transfer and credit to the Deposit Address on the relevant blockchain, but more than one confirmation may be necessary, and we do not guarantee that a transfer will be credited within any defined number of confirmations or that any given block will be processed simultaneously with any blockchain confirmation*; *in particular, without limitation, we may, at our discretion (i) credit a Deposit prior to confirmation on the relevant blockchain or (ii) require additional confirmations or conditions with respect to any Deposit, in particular (without limitation) where we believe that blockchain consensus is in doubt;**

• c) when we determine that such transfer is effective, we will increase your Account Balance by an amount that is equivalent to the amount of digital assets transferred to the Deposit Address net of any applicable transaction fees (including, without limitation, any applicable mining fees);

• d) you agree that all right, title and interest in and to any and all digital assets that is transferred to the Deposit Address shall vest in us, free and clear of any liens, claims, charges or encumbrances or any of interest of you or any third party;

• e) immediately prior to each such transfer, you represent and warrant that:

  • i) you are the legal and beneficial owner of any and all digital assets that you transfer to the Deposit Address;

  • ii) you have the full and unqualified right to convey and have conveyed, all right, title and interest in and to the relevant amount of digital assets that you transfer to the Deposit Address;

  • iii) the digital assets you transfer to the Deposit Address are not derived from or obtained as a result of any breach of Applicable Laws or the proceeds of crime (including any proceeds arising from drug trafficking, corruption, financing of terrorism or money laundering or transactions that violate sanctions), and the transfer does not constitute a breach of any Applicable Laws; and

  • iv) you will execute and deliver all necessary documents and take all necessary steps that we require in order to procure that, upon such transfer, all right, title and interest in and to any digital assets shall vest in us, free and clear of any liens, claims, charges or encumbrances or any of interest of you or any third party.

    9.4. You have no rights or interest in respect of the Deposit Address or the amount of digital assets that is recorded in or registered to the Deposit Address. Your Account Balance is not your wallet. Your Account Balance is the balance of digital assets that we reflect in our books and records as credited to your Account. Amounts stated as being credited to or deducted from your Account Balance means that such amounts will be added to or deducted from the balance which the Company reflects in its books and records as available to be used by you in respect of the Services.

    9.5. You agree that it is your responsibility to ensure that instructions, orders or transactions sent to us are well-formatted, clear and denominated in the correct digital assets. In particular, you must transfer the correct digital assets to the Deposit Address. We are not liable for any inaccuracies, omissions or other errors with respect to any Deposit. In particular, without prejudice to the foregoing, we have no obligation to return any digital asset that has been transferred to a Deposit Address that is controlled by or associated with us, in circumstances where (i) we do not support that digital asset or the blockchain or protocol pursuant to which it was transferred or (ii) the digital asset has been transferred to the wrong Deposit Address.

Withdrawals

9.6. When you instruct us to transfer to you an amount of digital assets from your available Account Balance (a “Withdrawal”), you must provide an appropriate withdrawal address (“Withdrawal Address”) for the transfer of digital assets to you. When we determine that your instruction is valid, we will deduct from your Account Balance the amount set out in your instruction; when such deduction has occurred, we then transfer an equivalent amount of digital assets to your Withdrawal Address minus any applicable transaction fees (including, without limitation, any applicable mining fees). We are not liable for any inaccuracies, omissions or other errors with respect to any Withdrawal.

9.7. In respect of each Withdrawal Address you provide to us and/or save and register with your Account:

• a) you represent and warrant that the Withdrawal Address you provide is your own and that you have full control over that address;

• b) you agree that it is your responsibility entirely to provide us with correct withdrawal details including your Withdrawal Address and we have no liability should you not receive the digital assets withdrawn due to you providing incorrect or out-of-date details; and

• c) you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, actions, proceedings, investigations, liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in any way arising out of, in relation to or in connection with, directly or indirectly, our reliance on your representations and warranties set out in this Clause.

We may allow you to save and register one or more Withdrawal Addresses with your Account.

9.8. We will process Withdrawals in accordance with our withdrawal policies (collectively the Withdrawal Policies). We may amend the Withdrawal Policies at our sole and absolute discretion without prior Notice to you. Unless otherwise stated in our Withdrawal Policies, it is your responsibility to specify and pay any applicable network fees (and in any event any such network fee shall be at least the minimum amount required by us) in respect of any Withdrawal. Where a network or transaction fee can or must be paid in a digital asset other than the digital asset that is the subject of a Withdrawal, we reserve the right to require payment of any such fee in an alternative digital asset (and to deduct from your Account any amount payable pursuant to this Clause). We do not guarantee that a withdrawal will be processed, broadcast, or confirmed within any defined timeframe or number of confirmations. We are not responsible for any delay in confirmation or processing of any Withdrawal.

Transfers
