  3. if you represent a legal entity or organizational unit, you are authorized to represent it.

You also acknowledge and confirm that you are aware of our right to refrain from providing Services to a Client at our sole discretion and for any reason. This applies in particular to entities that are citizens, residents, or entities based in or present in countries on international sanctions lists.

2.4. Moment of Agreement

  1. You accept these Terms and any additional documents, in particular, the documents referred to in point 3.1,
  2. You make the required declarations,
  3. We successfully verify and accept your information and documents.

  1. these Terms,
  2. Table of Fees and Commissions,
  3. Privacy Policy,
  4. Conflict of Interest Management Policy,
  5. Crypto-asset Transfer Policy,
  6. other documents specified in the Terms.

Abovementioned documents constitute an annex to these Terms.

3.2. Technical Requirements

To use Gateway, you need a device (e.g., computer, phone) with internet access and an up-to-date browser. Gateway may not function properly on outdated browsers.

We are not responsible for malfunctions of Gateway resulting from your device or for services you use outside Gateway, even if used for Crypto-asset transfers.

We may temporarily disable all or part of Gateway, e.g., for maintenance. We will try to notify you in advance.

We may block access to some or all features of Gateway if required by law. This applies to individual Clients and selected jurisdictions.

You are obliged to regularly verify and update the systems you use to access Gateway. You acknowledge that failure to do so may affect the proper functioning of Gateway on your device and lead to loss of profits or losses.

3.3. Placing Exchange Orders

Your Exchange Order must include:

  1. Your name or company name,
  2. Date and time,
  3. Type and amount of Crypto-assets,
  4. Asset price,
  5. Additional parameters required by law.

We will confirm receipt of your Order, but this does not mean it has been executed.

By placing an Exchange Order, you declare that the funds you intend to use for the Transaction belong to you and you are authorized to use them.

If your Order is unacceptable, we will notify you with reasons.

The list of supported Crypto-assets is on our Website.

3.4. Execution of Exchange Orders

The Crypto-asset rate presented in Gateway after we accept your Exchange Order is binding for a specified time. To complete the Transaction on the presented terms, you must provide the necessary data (if not already provided) and make payment within 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the presented prices are recalculated based on the current rate of the Crypto-asset you wish to purchase.

Due to the high volatility of Crypto-asset prices, the final price at which the Crypto-assets are purchased is determined at the time the funds for the purchase are credited to the account of the payment intermediary we cooperate with. Your Exchange Order will be executed immediately after these funds are credited.

If the Crypto-asset rate presented in Gateway differs significantly from the rate at the time the funds are credited, we may not execute your Exchange Order. We will notify you immediately.

We may also not execute your Exchange Order or execute it for a proportionally smaller amount if you do not deposit the previously declared amount of funds to cover the Transaction.

Crypto-assets purchased on your behalf are transferred within one business day to your wallet address provided before placing the Exchange Order. We will provide you with confirmation of the Transaction containing all necessary information.

We publish the method for determining the price of Crypto-assets on our Website.

We may specify in the Table of Fees and Commissions the maximum and minimum value, volume, or size of Exchange Orders. We do not accept, cancel, or declare invalid Exchange Orders that exceed or would lead to exceeding the values, volumes, or sizes specified in the Table of Fees and Commissions.

We may suspend the acceptance of Exchange Orders if access to a given Crypto-asset is impossible for reasons beyond our control. After the cause of the delay is removed, we will settle concluded Transactions in due time.

You are charged after the Transaction is completed, it cannot be reversed and you cannot withdraw from the agreement concluded with us.

3.5. Restrictions and Liability for Orders

We may require additional documents or information to execute a Transaction, especially if required by third-party partners.

If law requires us to provide your personal or confidential information to a third party, you consent to this.

You are solely responsible for correctly transferring Crypto-assets to the right wallets. Incorrect transfers may be irrecoverable.

Only you are responsible for correctly transferring Crypto-assets to the appropriate wallets, including verifying whether the destination wallet you have indicated contains no errors and whether it belongs to you. An incorrect transfer of Crypto-assets or providing incorrect destination wallet details may result in the Crypto-assets being unrecoverable.

We may, with immediate effect, suspend the provision of Services in relation to a given Crypto-asset, in whole or in part, in cases where the provision has become impossible due to circumstances for which we are not responsible. We will exercise due diligence to inform you of this fact. The suspension of service provision lasts for the duration of the obstacle preventing the provision. If such an obstacle is permanent, our obligation to provide the Services expires in full.

Because of technical reasons, we do not guarantee that our list of purchase offers is always up-to-date.

We are not liable for damages arising from:

  1. Order rejection,
  2. Suspension of Orders,
  3. Delayed settlement of Transactions due to reasons beyond our control.

3.6. Funds for Transactions

Our Website specifies methods for transferring money for Transactions.

You may use third-party services to transfer funds, subject to their terms.

4. Transaction Security

You may not use Gateway for purposes inconsistent with its intended use. You may not make Transactions on behalf of third parties.

If we have reasonable suspicion that your actions are unlawful—particularly if we suspect that the funds or Crypto-assets involved in a Transaction originate from an illegal source—we may block the Transaction or your Wallet. If, in such a case, we have received any funds, we may deposit them in an appropriate account or escrow until a final decision is reached, for which we will charge fees. The unblocking of funds or Crypto-assets may occur once all doubts have been resolved, including after obtaining relevant information from state authorities.

We may also block your Wallet if your data is incomplete or appears incorrect, and request additional documents.

If doubts cannot be resolved, we may refuse the Transaction. If we unblock your Wallet and execute the Transaction, you cannot claim for lost profits.

These rules also apply if a bank or other financial institution requests action.

5. Client Contact

All declarations related to Services or other business activities may be made electronically unless otherwise required by law.

After each Transaction, we will notify you. You must monitor your Transactions and promptly report any irregularities.

We publish information about transactions concluded by us, including volumes and prices.

Upon agreement, we will provide you with the Terms and attachments, and information documents about the Crypto-assets for which we provide Services.

We may contact you via:

  1. Phone (including SMS),

  3. Electronically (especially by email).

If required by law, we will provide documents and information on a durable medium.
