4   DEPOSITS, CUSTODY, WITHDRAWALS AND TRANSFERS

  1. Services are available only in connection with Digital Assets that we support, which may change from time to time. Under no circumstances should you use your Account to store, send, request or receive Digital Assets in any form that we do not support. We assume no responsibility or liability in connection with any attempt to use your Account for Digital Assets that we do not support.

5   DIGITAL ASSETS NETWORK

5.1   Digital Asset Transactions

  1. We will process Transactions in accordance with the instructions we receive from you. You should verify all Transaction information prior to submitting instructions to us. We do not guarantee the identity of any User, receiver, requestee or other third party and will have no liability or responsibility for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate and complete. Transactions cannot be reversed once they have been broadcast to the relevant Digital Asset Network. We will not be responsible for any errors in any information that you provide.
  2. We may charge network fees (Miner Fees) to process a Transaction on your behalf. We will calculate the Miner Fees at our discretion, although we will always notify you of the Miner Fees at (or before) the time you authorise the Digital Asset Transaction. When you or a third party sends Digital Assets to an Account from an external wallet not hosted on the Platform, the person initiating the Transaction is solely responsible for executing the Transaction properly, which may include, among other things, payment of Miner Fees in order for the Transaction to be completed successfully. Non-payment of Miner Fees may cause your Transaction to remain in a pending state outside of our control and we are not responsible for delays or loss incurred as a result of an error in the initiation of the Transaction and have no obligation to assist in the remediation of such Transactions.
  3. Once submitted to a Digital Asset network, a Transaction will be unconfirmed for a period of time pending sufficient confirmation of the Transaction by the Digital Asset network. A Transaction is not complete while it is in a pending state. Digital Assets associated with Transactions that are in a pending state will be designated accordingly and will not be included in your Account balance or be available to conduct Transactions until confirmed by the network.
  4. We may also refuse to process or cancel any pending Transaction as required by law, regulation or any court or other authority to which we are subject in any jurisdiction, for instance, if there is suspicion of money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other financial crime.

5.2   Operation of Digital Asset protocols

  1. We do not own or control the underlying software protocols which govern the operation of Digital Assets supported on the Platform. Generally, the underlying protocols are ‘open source’ and anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute them.
  2. We assume no responsibility for the operation of the underlying protocols and we are not able to guarantee the functionality or security of network operations. You acknowledge and accept the risk that underlying software protocols relating to any Digital Asset you store in your Account may change.
  3. In particular, the underlying protocols are likely to be subject to sudden changes in operating rules (Forks). Any such material operating changes may materially affect the availability, value, functionality, and/or the name of the Digital Asset you store in your Account. We do not control the timing and features of these material operating changes. It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of upcoming operating changes and you must carefully consider publicly available information and information that may be provided by us in determining whether to continue to transact in the affected Digital Asset using your Account. In the event of any such operational change, we reserve the right to take such steps as may be necessary to protect the security and safety of assets held on the Platform, including temporarily suspending operations for the involved digital asset(s), and other necessary steps.
  4. We will use our best efforts to provide you notice of our response to any material operating change. However, such changes are outside of our control and may occur without notice to us. Our response to any material operating change is subject to its sole discretion and includes deciding not to support any new Digital Asset, Fork, or other actions.
  5. You acknowledge and accept the risks of operating changes to Digital Asset protocols and agree that we are not responsible for such operating changes and not liable for any loss of value you may experience as a result of such changes in operating rules.
