You must not create an Account for the purpose of violating any applicable laws, rules, and regulations and/or undermining the Services provided on the Platform.

If you are not eligible to create an Account, we reserve the right to refuse your registration.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to reject any application to create an Account (including but not limited to accounts related to political and/or public figures) or to comply with AML/CTF laws and regulations.

To create an Account, you should provide, as necessary:

(i) a valid email address; (ii) a mobile phone number; (iii) your real name; (iv) identification documents; and (v) any other information we require to create and maintain your Account,

collectively, the “Registration Data.”

If your mobile phone number requires real-name registration, you should complete such registration before providing the number to us. You are responsible for any direct or indirect losses and adverse consequences arising from failing to complete such registration.

You are responsible for updating the Registration Data to ensure its accuracy at all times. You are responsible for the authenticity, completeness, and accuracy of the Registration Data and shall bear any direct or indirect losses and adverse consequences arising from inaccuracies.

Upon our verification and approval of your Account, you will receive an account identification number and password with which you may use the Services. You agree to receive emails and/or messages from us relating to Platform administration and operations.

4.3 Account Security

You are solely responsible for your Account’s Login Details, including your username, password, mobile phone number, trading password, and verification codes received on your phone (“Login Details”). If your Login Details are stolen and/or your Account is accessed by an unauthorized third party, you may immediately notify us to request suspension of your Account. Upon receipt of such request, we will act within a reasonable time; however, we are not responsible for any consequences before the suspension takes effect.

Unless approved by us, you shall not transfer your Account to any other person by donation, lending, leasing, assignment, or otherwise.

If any Digital Asset, password, or private key is lost, stolen, becomes defective, is damaged, or otherwise becomes inaccessible, we are under no obligation to issue any replacement Digital Asset.

4.4 Suspension, Termination, or Closure

We are entitled to suspend part or all of the Services to your Account, freeze Digital Assets in your Account, terminate your Account, close your Account, and/or notify relevant authorities (“Processing Your Account”) if:

(i) we reasonably consider this necessary to protect our reputation; (ii) your Account is subject to any pending litigation, investigation, or governmental proceeding and/or we consider your Account activity to present an increased risk of illegal or non-compliant conduct; (iii) you are from a Restricted Jurisdiction as described in Clause 1.2; (iv) you are not eligible to create an Account under Clause 4.1; (v) you create an Account on behalf of a legal entity without proper authorization to act for that entity; (vi) we, in our sole discretion, deem you unsuitable for the Services; (vii) you are not the person described in your Account Registration Data; (viii) you fail to log in to your Account for 1 year; (ix) you use your Account for unlawful or illegal activities, such as money laundering or bribery; (x) you use your Account for market manipulation, improper trading, or other illegal trading activities such as money laundering, smuggling, or commercial bribery; and/or (xi) you violate this Agreement or any other applicable laws, rules, or regulations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may, upon 7 Business Days’ prior notice, close and terminate your Account. Thereafter, you will have 7 Business Days to take necessary actions, including canceling any instructions or closing positions (the “Pre-Closure Period”). After the Pre-Closure Period ends, we may cancel your instructions, close positions, and return the Digital Assets in your Account to you. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if your Account is closed under this clause, all remaining Account balances (including fees and liabilities owed to us) become immediately due and payable to us.

We shall not be responsible for any adverse consequences and/or losses related to Processing Your Account.

If an Account is suspended or closed due to fraud investigations, unlawful conduct, or investigations of a breach of this Agreement, we will fully preserve Digital Assets, funds, and user information/data which may be handed over to governmental authorities.

  1. Deposits, Custody, Withdrawals, and Transfers

The Services are provided only for Digital Assets supported by us and 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 not supported by us. We assume no responsibility or liability if you attempt to use your Account for unsupported Digital Assets. We do not act as a buyer or seller in any Digital Asset transaction when providing the Services. The Services do not include the deposit, withdrawal, or custody of any fiat currency.

All Digital Assets in your Account are held by us on a custodial basis. This means:

(i) ownership of the Digital Assets remains with you and is not transferred to us. You bear the risk of loss of the Digital Assets in your Account. We will not claim or treat the assets in your Account as belonging to us; (ii) we may not grant any security interest over the Digital Assets held in your Account; (iii) except as required by competent authorities or otherwise provided in this Agreement, we will not sell, transfer, lend, pledge, or otherwise encumber assets in your Account unless instructed by you or ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction; (iv) you control the Digital Assets in your Account. Subject to interruptions, downtime, and other applicable policies, you may withdraw your Digital Assets at any time by sending them to another blockchain address controlled by you or a third party; and (v) for safer custody of your assets, your Digital Assets are accounted for separately from our own assets or funds—that is, user and Platform accounts are maintained under distinct ledger accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are under no obligation to use separate blockchain addresses to store Digital Assets belonging to you, other customers, or us.

We are entitled to set and adjust daily limits on trading volume and withdrawals at our internal discretion, including considerations of the security and status of the relevant Digital Asset networks.

  1. Digital Asset Networks

6.1 Digital Asset Transactions

We will process Transactions based on your instructions. Before submitting instructions, you should verify all Transaction information. We do not guarantee the identity of any user, recipient, requestee, or third party, nor are we obligated to ensure the accuracy or completeness of the information you provide. Once broadcast to the relevant Digital Asset network, a Transaction cannot be reversed.

We may charge network fees (“Miner Fees”) to process your Transactions. We will calculate Miner Fees at our discretion, but will always inform you of the Miner Fees at or before your authorization of a Digital Asset Transaction. When you or a third party sends Digital Assets from an external wallet not hosted by the Platform to your Account, the party initiating the Transaction is responsible for executing it correctly, including paying the Miner Fees to facilitate successful completion. Failure to pay Miner Fees may result in your Transaction remaining pending beyond our control; we are not liable for delays or losses resulting from errors in initiating Transactions and are not obligated to assist in remedying such Transactions.

Once submitted to a Digital Asset network, Transactions remain pending for a period until sufficiently confirmed by the network. Pending Transactions are incomplete. Digital Assets related to pending Transactions will be locked accordingly and will neither be reflected in your Account balance nor be available for trading until network confirmation.

We may refuse to process or cancel any pending Transaction as required by laws, regulations, or any court or competent authority with jurisdiction over us, for example, when money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or other financial crimes are suspected.

6.2 Operation of Digital Asset Protocols

We do not own or control the software protocols governing the operation of the Digital Assets supported by the Platform. Generally, such protocols are “open source,” and anyone may use, copy, modify, and distribute them.

We assume no responsibility for the operation of such protocols and cannot guarantee the functionality or security of network operations. You acknowledge and accept the risk that software protocols for any Digital Asset stored in your Account may change.

In particular, the relevant protocols may be affected by sudden changes in operating rules (a “Fork”). Any such material operational change may significantly impact the availability, value, functionality, and/or name of Digital Assets stored in your Account. We do not control the timing or characteristics of such material changes. You are responsible for staying informed about upcoming operational changes and must carefully consider publicly available information and any information we may provide when deciding whether to continue to use your Account to transact in affected Digital Assets. If any such change occurs, we may take necessary measures to protect assets on the Platform, including suspending operations for the affected Digital Asset and taking other necessary steps.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of our response to any material operational change. However, such changes are outside our control and may occur without notice to us. Our response to any material change is at our sole discretion, including deciding not to support any new Digital Asset, Fork, or other action.

You acknowledge and accept the risks of operational changes to Digital Asset protocols and agree that we are not responsible for such changes and are not liable for any loss of value you may suffer due to changes in operating rules. You acknowledge and accept that we may respond to any operational change at our sole discretion and that we have no obligation to assist you in handling unsupported assets or protocols.

6.3 Trading Rules

You shall comply with the following rules when trading Digital Assets on the Platform:

(i) Before executing any Transaction, you should read, understand, and fully accept information on the Platform, including but not limited to prices, fees, and whether to buy or sell the Digital Assets; (ii) When you execute a Transaction and submit your order, you authorize the Platform to act as your broker to match a counterparty, without further notice to you; (iii) You have the right to cancel or modify your order at any time before execution; and (iv) You may view your Transaction details and records in the Platform’s management center.

7.1 Exchange Rate

Each purchase or sale of Digital Assets is subject to the exchange rate applicable to the specific Transaction. “Exchange Rate” means the fiat currency price quoted on the Platform for a specific supported Digital Asset. The Exchange Rate is expressed as a “Buy Price” or a “Sell Price,” which is the price at which you can buy or sell a Digital Asset.

You acknowledge that at any particular time, the Buy Price may differ from the Sell Price, and we may include a margin or “spread” in the quoted Exchange Rate. By authorizing a Transaction, you agree to the Exchange Rate. We do not guarantee the availability of any Exchange Rate. We do not guarantee that you will be able to buy and/or sell your Digital Assets at any specific price or time in the open market.

  1. Fees

You agree to be responsible for all fees. Each purchase or sale of Digital Assets is subject to fees (“Trading Fees”). Trading Fees will be shown to you on the Platform before each Transaction and will be stated on the receipt we send to you. We may adjust our Trading Fees at any time.

  1. Compliance

Our KYC and AML/CTF policies are designed to comply with international laws and standards concerning KYC and AML/CTF, including those in your local jurisdiction. We will comply with our KYC and AML/CTF policies and will use best efforts to take measures and employ relevant technologies to provide the Services safely and reliably and to prevent losses arising from money laundering.

You authorize us, directly or through third parties, to make inquiries we deem necessary to verify your identity or to protect you and/or us against fraud or other financial crimes, and to take actions we reasonably deem necessary based on the results. In conducting such inquiries, you acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be disclosed to credit reference and fraud prevention or financial crime agencies, which may respond in full to our inquiries. This is an identity check and should not adversely affect your credit rating. In addition, we may require you to wait a period after completing Transactions before allowing you to access more Services and/or execute Transactions beyond certain volume limits.

If we learn that any Digital Assets or funds in your Account are stolen or not lawfully owned by you, we may (but are not obligated to) administratively freeze the affected funds and your Account. If we impose an administrative freeze on some or all of your funds or Account, we may continue the freeze until the dispute is resolved and we receive acceptable evidence of resolution in a form satisfactory to us. We will not participate in such disputes or their resolution. You agree that we are not liable for any freeze as described above or for your inability to withdraw Digital Assets or funds or to execute Transactions during the freeze.

  1. KYC and AML/CTF

With respect to KYC and AML/CTF, we:

(i) shall promulgate and update our KYC and AML/CTF policies to meet standards prescribed by applicable laws, rules, and regulations; (ii) shall promulgate and update guidelines and rules related to the operation of the Platform, and our staff shall provide the Services to you in accordance therewith; (iii) shall design and implement Transaction monitoring procedures, including but not limited to strict identity verification procedures, and maintain a dedicated team to address anti-money laundering issues; (iv) shall adopt a risk-based approach to conduct due diligence and supervision of our users; (v) are entitled to review and inspect Transactions conducted on our Platform; (vi) are entitled to report Transactions we, in our sole judgment, deem suspicious to relevant authorities; and (vii) shall retain Registration Data and Identity Information (as defined herein) for at least 6 years.

10.2 Transaction Reporting

We will monitor the activity in your Account to detect suspicious Transactions. If we determine that a Transaction related to your Account is suspicious, we may suspend, stop, or terminate the Transaction, reverse it, and/or report it to relevant authorities without further notice. Any action we take concerning suspicious Transactions will not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

17.8 Export Controls

Your use of the Services is subject to international export control and economic sanctions requirements. By sending, receiving, buying, selling, trading, or storing Digital Assets using the Services, you agree to comply with such requirements. You may not access Digital Assets or use any Services if:

(i) you are located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of the following countries: Cuba, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Iran, Libya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Yemen, or Syria, or any other country subject to U.S. embargo, United Nations sanctions, or sanctions imposed by the European Union, MAS, or the UK Treasury’s financial sanctions regime (collectively, “Sanctioned Countries”), or if you are listed on sanctions lists published by relevant authorities from time to time (including but not limited to the MAS lists of designated individuals and entities, the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Persons List, Unverified List, Entity List, or EU financial sanctions regimes) (a “Sanctioned Person”); or (ii) you intend to provide any held or stored Digital Assets or Services to Sanctioned Countries (or nationals or residents thereof) or to any Sanctioned Person.

17.9 No Waiver

A waiver by us or you of the other Party’s breach of this Agreement or of any other liability stated herein shall not be construed or deemed to be a waiver of any other breach of this Agreement. Failure to exercise any right or remedy shall not be construed as a waiver of such right or remedy.

17.10 Governing Law

This Agreement and the relationship between the Parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Singapore.

17.11 Dispute Resolution

You acknowledge and agree that, prior to bringing any Dispute or claim, you will contact us and we will endeavor to resolve the Dispute internally as soon as possible (“Internal Resolution”). The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve any Dispute (such negotiations shall be confidential, protected by applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and shall not be used as evidence in any litigation).

You acknowledge and agree that if any dispute, controversy, difference, or claim is not resolved by Internal Resolution—including any Dispute regarding the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination of these Terms, or any Dispute related to or arising from these Terms (collectively, a “Dispute”)—the Parties shall submit the Dispute to the ICC International Court of Arbitration under the ICC Rules then in effect. Arbitration shall be conducted in Singapore and governed by the applicable law determined under the ICC Rules. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, a sole arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules. The arbitrator shall have authority to rule on jurisdiction, including but not limited to objections concerning the existence, scope, or validity of the arbitration agreement or the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. Regardless of the form of arbitration, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision explaining the arbitral award and its essential findings and conclusions (if any). The arbitral award shall be final and binding on the Parties and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

17.12 Unclaimed Property

If we hold Digital Assets for you but are unable to contact you and there is no record of your use of the Services for several years, applicable law in certain jurisdictions may require us to report the Digital Assets to authorities as unclaimed property. We will attempt to contact you at the address on record; if we cannot locate you, we may be required to deliver such Digital Assets to the authorities in certain jurisdictions as unclaimed property. Where permitted by law, we may deduct dormancy or other administrative fees from such unclaimed funds.

17.13 Class Action Waiver

You agree that any claim related to this Agreement (whether based on contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether arising during or after the term of this Agreement) shall be brought against the other Party in arbitration on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you further waive any right to bring, have heard, or arbitrate such claims as a class, collective, representative, or private attorney general action. Individual arbitrations may not be consolidated or combined into a single arbitration without the consent of all parties, including us.
