3.4. Right to Modify or Suspend Services

The Company reserves the absolute right to amend, restrict, modify, or discontinue, either temporarily or permanently, any part of the Company’s cryptocurrency exchange Services without prior notice if required due to legal or regulatory obligations, internal compliance policies, risk management, or technical and operational reasons.

Such violations may result in the immediate suspension or termination of the Customer access to the Services and may trigger disclosure to regulatory, supervisory, or law enforcement authorities, as required by law or deemed appropriate by the Company.

4. Onboarding and the Customer Registration

4.1. General Registration Requirements

Before accessing any Services or initiating any Transactions, the Customer must complete a comprehensive onboarding and registration process in accordance with the Company’s internal policies, applicable Swiss regulations, and international AML/CFT standards.

The Customer is required to submit accurate, complete, and truthful information and documentation, including but not limited to: full legal name, residential or registered address, nationality, date of birth or incorporation, and contact details.

The Customer explicitly acknowledge that providing false, misleading, or incomplete information may result in denial of access to the Company’s Services or immediate termination of Agreement.

4.2. Identity Verification (KYC Procedures)

As part of onboarding, the Company will conduct mandatory Know Your the Customer (KYC) procedures to verify the Customer’s identity and assess the Customer’s legitimacy under the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) and the rules of the VQF Financial Services Standards Association.

The Company may require verification of the Customer’s identity, address, source of funds, and intended use of the Company’s Services. The Company may also engage trusted third-party service providers to perform identity verification, sanctions screening, and other compliance-related checks. The Customer authorizes the Company to share relevant Personal Information with such providers solely for this purpose.

  • Proof of residential address dated within the past three (3) months (e.g., utility bills, rent agreement, bank statement),
  • A description of the intended purpose of using the Company’s Services;
  • Information regarding the Customer’s source of funds (e.g., bank statements, letter of employment, sale of assets/property document, etc.).

The Company may request further details or clarification during the onboarding process. Failure to provide sufficient or verifiable documentation may result in denial or delay of Service access.

4.4. Onboarding of Corporate Customers

If the Customer is registering as a Legal Entity, the Customer must provide the following:

  • Official registration certificate or an extract from a public the Company/business register,
  • Articles of association or equivalent governing documents,
  • Identification and address verification (e.g., utility bills, rent agreement, bank statement) for directors, shareholders, and beneficial owners,
  • Documentation showing authority for any representative signing this Agreement (e.g., board resolution, power of attorney, extract from a public the Company/business register),
  • A description of the Customer’s business activities, source of funds (e.g., banks statements, sale of assets document, etc.);
  • A description of intended purpose for using the Services.

Incomplete or unverifiable documentation may result in immediate rejection, suspension, or future termination of Service access.

  • Legal name, registered address, or contact details,
  • Corporate structure, ownership, management, or control,
  • Source of funds or intended transaction purposes,
  • Changes in control over any Whitelisted Company Account or Cryptocurrency Wallet.

All updates must be submitted within ten (10) Business Days from the date the change occurs. Failure to do so may lead to suspension of Services or termination of this Agreement.

4.6. Duplicate or Misleading Registrations

The Customer agrees not to submit multiple or false registrations under different identities, entity names, or communication channels. Any attempt to circumvent the Company’s onboarding or compliance checks, or to create duplicate profiles without prior written approval, will be treated as a material breach of this Agreement.

If the Company detects such activity, the Company may immediately suspend or terminate the Customer’s access to Services. The Customer may be asked to provide a written explanation or additional documents before reinstatement. The Company reserves the right to permanently refuse Services if the Company reasonably suspect fraudulent intent or attempts to bypass the Company’s compliance requirements.

5. Cryptocurrency exchange Transactions

5.1. Transaction Order Submission

To initiate a Transaction, the Customer must submit a clearly specified Transaction Order to Us. Each request must explicitly indicate:

  • The type and amount of Cryptocurrency or Fiat Currency to be exchanged,
  • The verified and Whitelisted Wallet or Company Account from where, for exchange required Assets, will be Credited.
  • The verified and Whitelisted Wallet or Company Account where the exchanged Assets should be delivered.

All Transaction Orders must be submitted through the Company’s pre-approved secure communication channels, as agreed to during onboarding. The Customer is solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of all submitted transaction details, including destination account or wallet addresses.

5.2. Pre-Approval and Credit Payment

Upon receiving the Customer’s Transaction Order, the Company will perform a preliminary compliance and verification review. If the Customer’s request passes these checks, the Company will issue a pre-approval confirmation, optionally including:

  • An indicative exchange rate, and
  • The applicable Service Fee.

The Customer must then confirm the Transaction by initiating the required Credit Payment — i.e., the transfer of the relevant Assets (Fiat currency or Cryptocurrency) — to the Company’s designated account or wallet.

The Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that their Credit Payment is timely, accurate and originates exclusively from their own verified and Whitelisted Account or Wallet.

The Company will reject or return any incoming payments from third-party or unverified sources. If a Credit Payment is delayed, incomplete, or unmatched, the corresponding Transaction Order may be cancelled or rejected, without any liability accruing to Us.

Final approval and execution of the Transaction are conditional upon the Company’s receipt of:

  • The exact amount indicated in the pre-approval, and
  • Confirmation that the Assets originate from the Customer’s verified and Whitelisted Account or Wallet.

5.3. Transaction Execution Timelines

The Company shall execute and settle all Transaction Orders as promptly as reasonably possible, typically within twenty-four (24) hours after the Customer’s Credit Payment is received and verified.

However, the Customer acknowledges that the Cryptocurrency market is inherently volatile and subject to rapid price movements, limited liquidity, and unforeseen technical or operational disruptions. Therefore, the Company makes no guarantee regarding precise execution timing and accept no liability for delays caused by:

  • Market fluctuations,
  • Network congestion,
  • Compliance reviews, or
  • Third-party service disruptions beyond the Company’s control.

If the Customer has not received their funds within 2 business days, the Customer is obliged to immediately inform the Company for investigation purposes.

5.4. Exchange Rate Determination

Applicable exchange rates will be determined at the time of execution based on current market conditions. The Customer understands and accepts that the final executed exchange rate may differ from any previously indicated rate due to real-time market volatility. The Company explicitly disclaims liability for any discrepancies or losses caused by changes in exchange rates between the time of pre-approval and actual execution.

5.5. Finality and Irrevocability of Transactions

Once the Customer’s Credit Payment has been successfully received and verified, the Company will promptly execute the Transaction and deliver the exchanged Assets to the Customer’s Whitelisted Account or Wallet.

The Customer acknowledges that all Transactions executed are final and irrevocable upon completion. Transactions cannot be reversed, cancelled, or refunded, except:

  • In the event of a proven operational error by Us, or
  • Where reversal is required by applicable law.

5.6. Transaction Confirmation

After successful execution and settlement, the Company will — either by default or upon the Customer’s request — issue a Transaction Confirmation Notice via secure communication channels. This notice will contain:

  • Transaction ID,
  • Exchanged amounts,
  • Final executed exchange rate,
  • Service Fee,
  • Destination wallet or bank details, and
  • Execution timestamp.

The Customer agrees to review each confirmation promptly and notify the Company of any discrepancies or errors within three (3) Business Days from the date of issuance. If the Customer fails to raise any objections within that period, the Transaction will be deemed correct and final.

6. Costs and Fees

6.1. Service Fee

The Customer agrees to pay all applicable Service Fees associated with the use of the Company’s Services. The specific Service Fee applicable to the Customer has been explicitly stated and mutually agreed in the Application and shall take precedence over any general or published rates.

Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, this Service Fee shall remain valid throughout the term of the Agreement. Any variation must be mutually agreed at the time of a particular Transaction and confirmed through secure communication.

Service Fees are generally calculated as a percentage of the total value of each Transaction. Unless otherwise agreed, the Company will deduct the applicable fee directly from the exchanged amount prior to final Transaction Settlement.

The net amount, after fee deduction, will then be transferred to the Customer’s verified and Whitelisted Account or Wallet.

The Company reserves the right to amend the Company’s general fee structure at any time. Any updated fees will be published on the Company’s official Website and communicated in advance when required by law or internal policy.

Unless otherwise specified, changes take effect immediately upon publication. By continuing to use the Services after the effective date, the Customer is deemed to have accepted the updated fees.

6.2. Taxes and External Charges

All stated Service Fees are exclusive of any applicable taxes, levies, or charges imposed by financial, regulatory, or governmental authorities. The Customer is solely responsible for determining, reporting, and paying any such taxes or charges that may apply to their use of the Services.

7. Risk disclosures

By using the Company’s Services, the Customer acknowledges that participation in Cryptocurrency exchange activities involves significant financial, technical, regulatory, and operational risks. The Customer confirms that the Customer has read, understood, and accepted the following risk disclosures and assume full responsibility for evaluating and accepting such risks.

7.1. General Cryptocurrency Risks

The Customer acknowledges that the purchase, sale, and exchange of Cryptocurrencies carry general risks, including but not limited to:

  • Loss of capital: Cryptocurrency prices are volatile and may fall significantly, potentially resulting in the full or partial loss of exchanged funds.
  • Unauthorized access or hacking: If the Customer’s wallet credentials or private keys are lost or compromised, the Customer’s Assets may be irretrievably accessed by unauthorized parties.
  • Legal and regulatory uncertainty: Legal frameworks surrounding digital Assets may change or vary by jurisdiction, impacting the legality, treatment, or reporting of Transactions.
  • Counterparty or system failures: Third-party service providers involved in the execution of Transactions may malfunction, become insolvent, or act improperly.

These risks may result in the loss of funds, inability to access Assets, or the need to bear additional legal, tax, or security burdens.

7.2. Specific Risks Related to Cryptocurrency Technology

The Customer understands that Cryptocurrencies operate on decentralized, evolving technologies that carry unique risks not typically present in traditional financial systems, including:

  • Changes to blockchain protocols or network forks that may affect Transaction processing or Asset compatibility.
  • Absence of centralized dispute resolution, legal recourse, or Asset recovery mechanisms in the event of technical failure or error.
  • Vulnerabilities in wallet software, network congestion, or technological incompatibility that may lead to failed or unrecoverable Transactions.

These risks may cause delays, loss of access, or permanent loss of the Customer’s Assets.

7.3. Market Volatility and Slippage

Cryptocurrency markets are characterized by rapid price movements driven by regulatory developments, market speculation, liquidity conditions, or macroeconomic factors. As a result:

  • The final execution price of a Transaction may differ from any indicative or pre-approval quote.
  • Slippage or price gaps may occur due to limited order depth or execution delays.

The Customer acknowledges that the Company do not guarantee execution at a fixed price and accept the risk of loss arising from exchange rate changes between the time of submission and final execution.

7.4. Irreversibility of Blockchain Transactions

Transactions processed on blockchain networks are irreversible once confirmed. Errors or omissions may result in permanent financial loss, including:

  • Submitting an incorrect Wallet address or amount,
  • Transmitting Assets to unintended recipients, or
  • Mismanaging private keys or credentials.

The Customer is solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of all Transaction information. The Company is not liable for any losses resulting from the Customer or third-party input errors.

7.5. Operational and Compliance Risks

The Customer acknowledges that use of the Company’s Services may be affected by:

  • Technical disruptions such as server outages, system maintenance, or network failures,
  • Delays or interruptions caused by reliance on third-party infrastructure,
  • Security incidents including attempted data breaches or malicious activity,
  • Regulatory reviews, sanctions screening, or compliance investigations that delay or prevent Transaction processing.

The Company may suspend, restrict, or reverse Transactions without notice if required by law or the Company’s internal compliance obligations.

7.6. No Deposit Protection or Insurance

The Customer acknowledges that Cryptocurrencies involved in Transactions under this Agreement are not covered by any deposit insurance, investor protection scheme, or government-backed guarantee.

The Company is not a bank or securities dealer and do not hold funds on the Customer’s behalf beyond the limited period required to execute a Transaction. In the event of theft, technical failure, insolvency, or other loss while Assets are under the Company’s temporary control, the Customer will not be entitled to reimbursement or compensation.

8. Rights and obligations of the Parties

8.1. Rights and Obligations of the Company

The Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide uninterrupted access to the Company’s Services, subject to legal, operational, and technical limitations. The Company retains full discretion over the scope, features, and delivery methods of the Company’s Services, including the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue specific exchange pairs, service options, or availability for particular jurisdictions or user profiles.

The Company reserves the right to temporarily suspend or restrict the Customer’s access to Services, in whole or in part, for purposes such as system maintenance, upgrades, internal reviews, or in response to legal or regulatory obligations.

8.2. Rights and Obligations of the Customer

The Customer agrees to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the onboarding process and throughout the duration contractual relationship, as reasonably requested by Us.

  • Change of name, contact information, legal structure, or ownership,

The Company’s Privacy Policy explains the categories of data collected, the purposes of processing, the Customer’s rights as a data subject, and the safeguards the Company applies to ensure security and compliance. The Customer acknowledge that refusal to provide required data, or withdrawal of consent, may affect the Company’s ability to provide Services or maintain the business relationship. In such cases, the Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate Services.

The Customer is responsible for reviewing the most current version of the Company’s Privacy Policy and agree that continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of any updates made in accordance with applicable law.

The Customer is responsible for promptly notifying the Company of any changes to their contact details, including their:

In accordance with Swiss law, including the Federal Act on Electronic Signatures (ZertES), the Parties acknowledge that electronically signed or submitted documents — whether via qualified electronic signature (QES), scanned handwritten signature, or authenticated portal submission — shall be deemed legally valid and enforceable unless otherwise explicitly required by law to be in handwritten form. The Parties waive any objection based on the digital nature of the executed document or signature, provided the signatory can be reasonably identified.

Upon request, the Customer may obtain physical copies of any such document or notice. The Company reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee to cover printing, handling, and postage. All such requests must be submitted through the Customer’s verified email address or another secure communication channel approved during onboarding.

11. Termination of the contractual relationship

The Customer remains liable for any unpaid fees, charges, or liabilities incurred prior to the effective date of termination. If any Transactions are pending at the time of termination, the Company may, at the Company’s sole discretion, either execute them or cancel them and return any unsettled Assets to the Customer’s verified Whitelisted Account or Wallet, after deducting applicable fees.
