    Account and Custody

Withdrawals may take up to 3 Business Days to complete, provided that larger withdrawals may take up to 30 Business Days to complete and that any withdrawal may be delayed as necessary to comply with Applicable Law.

     

     

    Digital Asset Trading

    1. The Platform provides a digital asset trading facility that allows you to place orders and facilitates the order matching and settlement of the purchase or sale of Digital Assets with other Users. The Platform simply matches purchase and sale orders put forth by Users and assists Users with carrying out their intent as expressed via the orders. Except as expressly specified otherwise in this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Platform is acting as a principle in or other participants in those transactions. Neither the Company nor the Platform is responsible for any disputes among or between Users regarding any transaction.

    2. Matching Orders are automatically paired by the Platform through its proprietary software and models, and the Platform will notify the respective Users that the order has been executed. Once a match is made, the order is executed and cleared instantaneously. YOU SHOULD ONLY PLACE AN ORDER IF YOU FULLY INTEND TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION. You have the right to stop a preauthorized order by initiating procedures through your Account to effectuate closure of such open order.

    3. Unless otherwise permitted by the Platform, you may only sell such amount of Digital Assets as does not exceed the total amount of Digital Assets held in your Account and recorded in the Platform ledger, plus the applicable Transaction Fee (as defined below). Any attempt by you to sell more Digital Assets than the Platform records show exists in your Account after deduction of the applicable Transaction Fee will result in an unsuccessful trade and may be grounds for termination of the Account.

    4. You acknowledge that you may not be possible in all circumstances to cancel or modify an order, even before the order is matched or executed. We accept no responsibility for ensuring that an order is modified or canceled and you understand and agree that, if the order cannot be canceled or modified, you are bound by any execution of the original order. You further acknowledge that attempts to modify or cancel and replace an order may result in over-execution or the execution of duplicate orders, and you shall be responsible for all such executions.

    5. You shall be deemed to have given orders through the Platform when we acknowledge such orders through the Platform or by such other means as we may determine (whether or not you actually receive or become aware of such acknowledgment). You understand that the Platform provides the ability to show the real-time status of all of your open orders and pending instructions. You further understand that it is your responsibility to monitor your open orders and pending instructions in real-time until the Platform acknowledges the full execution, cancellation or rejection of the orders or instructions and that we assume no responsibility or liability if you fail to do so. In the event that you fail to immediately notify us of any error in the real-time acknowledgment of the status of any of your open orders or pending instructions, including the Platform’s failure to promptly acknowledge the receipt of an order after you transmit such order, we reserve the right to exercise in good faith discretion to require you to accept the trade or to remove the trade from your Account at your sole benefit or loss. We may, in some cases, and at our sole discretion, require secondary electronic, verbal, written or other confirmation before acting if your Account activity is outside of its normal range of activities.

    6. Your orders shall be subject to trading limits that we may establish, revise and communicate to you from time to time.

    7. Subject to Section 8.10, once an order has been executed, the transaction may not be reversible.

    8. You acknowledge that, due to technical and other restrictions, the price of Digital Assets displayed on the Site may be delayed and therefore not reflect the current, live market value of such Digital Asset. Nonetheless, you agree that the prices displayed on the Site control the value of your Account and your use of the Platform and Site.

    9. You acknowledge and agree that the Platform cannot and does not warrant or guarantee that any Order placed through the Platform will be executed at the best posted price.

    10. Absent mutual consent of parties involved, we reserve the right to cancel or nullify trades in the event that:

      1. the trade resulted from an identifiable interruption or malfunction of execution, settlement or communication system;

      2. the trade that the Company, in its sole discretion, believes to be fraudulent, manipulative or disruptive to other Users or the Platform;

      3. the trade was executed by any Account that has been hacked by unauthorized users and we determine in good faith that cancellation of the trades shall be in the best interest of Users or the Platform; or

      4. the Company believes in its sole discretion that your Account or trading activities therein violates these Terms.

     

     

    Matters concerning Use of Services

    1. The Company may also refuse to complete a transaction the User has confirmed or authorized where there is insufficient balance in the User's Account to cover the transaction and associated fees at the time that we receive notification of the transaction.

    2. Subject to Applicable Law and the extent reasonably practicable, the Company shall make reasonable efforts to inform Users whether it would remove any specific Digital Asset in advance. If a Digital Asset is excluded from the Platform of the Company, the User shall withdraw all such Digital Assets from its Account within 15 Business Days.

     

     

    Fees

    1. There is no charge to download the App and register as a User.

    2. In exchange for access to the Platform, you agree to pay a fee on each settled transaction initiated by you (such fee, a “Transaction Fee”). The current Transaction Fee for the taker and the maker is equivalent to 0.1% of the transaction amount respectively. We reserve the right to change, modify or increase the Transaction Fee at any time and from time to time. Any such changes, modifications or increases will be effective upon posting such changes, modifications or increases on the Site as specified in section 2. If you do not agree to the posted changes, modifications, or increases, you should stop using the Account as provided herein. Your continued use of the Account following the posting of the modified Transaction Fee as posted on the Site will constitute the acceptance of all such changes or revisions.

    3. Transaction Fees are paid by the Users in any given transaction. The Users will each be charged a fee in USDT/USDC. You are responsible for any fees imposed by third parties in connection with transferring Digital Assets into your Account on the Platform. The Platform charges a flat fee to transfer or withdraw Digital Assets from your Account at such fee rates as last updated on the Site from time to time.

    4. If you believe that you have been erroneously charged a Transaction Fee, you shall notify the Platform immediately of such error, along with any additional information concerning the transaction. If you do not raise any question or objection within 30 Business Days after such alleged erroneous Transaction Fee first appears on any Account statement, such fee will be deemed acceptable by you for all purposes.

    Regulatory Status Disclosure

    1. On being Regulated: The Company is authorised by the financial regulator of the AIFC, AFSA, to conduct the activities of Operating a Digital Asset Trading Facility under Licence Number AFSA-G-LA-2023-0004 with expiry date of June 6, 2025 and Providing Custody under the Licence Number AFSA-G-LA-2023-0003 with expiry date of June 6, 2025 in a testing environment of FinTech Lab* (AIFC regulatory sandbox). Status of the licences and its validity may be verified at the AFSA website (www.afsa.kz).

     

    * FinTech Lab is a regulatory sandbox that allows firms to provide financial services in a test environment with individual regulatory requirements set up by the AFSA and subject to satisfaction of specific Licence conditions, including limits on size of transactions and number of clients. FinTech Lab was established in the AIFC by the AFSA to facilitate development of innovation in financial industry. It is anticipated that after completion of testing in FinTech Lab this firm would continue providing services under applicable AIFC regulations, however it is also possible that this firm may not continue providing services in or from AIFC.

     

    Given that the firm offers services to clients in a test regulatory environment and that risk is an integral part of innovation, there is a chance of losing investments and incurring other losses associated with using the service.
