COINMOTION  – TERMS OF SERVICE

Valid as of 18.12.2024.

RISK NOTIFICATION

Crypto-Assets are considered inherently a high-risk asset class, which main risks include:

-          price volatility (e.g. sudden gains and losses in value of the Crypto-Assets),

-          security risks (e.g. hacking or other security breaches could lead to loss of funds),

-          regulatory risks (e.g. regulatory changes may have a negative impact on Crypto-Assets),

-          taxation (e.g. the taxation of Crypto-Assets varies between countries, is generally unclear, and is subject to regulatory changes, all of which may lead to unexpected taxation events for the Customer),

-          liquidity risks (e.g. insufficient liquidity may result in difficulty or even impossibility to trade Crypto-Assets),

-          counterparty/credit risks (e.g. if a counterparty of the Company would default, there is a risk that the Customer’s funds would be at risk),

-          market risks (e.g. changes in the market conditions could result in the decrease of value of

the Crypto-Assets, and since the market operates 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week, every day of the year, the market conditions can change any time), and

-          operational risks (e.g. Blockchain technology and DeFi are intrinsically fraught with vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities stem from aspects like consensus mechanisms, challenges with interoperability, and the open-source character of the platforms. Consequently, these vulnerabilities might lead to potential losses or delays for the Customer).

The listed risks are not exhaustive, and many additional risks not listed above, and even unpredictable risks, may be associated with Crypto-Assets.

Due to the inherent risks associated with the Crypto-Assets, using the Services carries a significant risk of capital loss, potentially up to the full amount invested.

By using the Service, the Customer acknowledges and accepts the risks pertaining to the Services and Crypto-Assets in general.

2.3. The Crypto-Asset Account may be used to store, receive or deposit only those Crypto-Assets that the Service supports at any given time. The Company reserves the right at its sole discretion to decide which Crypto-Assets the Service supports.

2.4. If the Customer deposits Crypto-Asset into a Crypto-Asset Account that the Service does not support, there is a high risk that the Customer loses the deposited amount as a whole. The Company is not liable for any damages that might occur when the Customer deposits to the Service Crypto-Asset that the Service does not support. In case the Customer deposits Crypto-Asset that the Service does not support to the Service, the Customer must immediately notify the Company of the matter by email [email protected], via the Service, or by calling +358 600 300 88.

2.5. If the Company stops providing the Service for a specific Crypto-Asset that the Customer holds in the Customer's Crypto-Asset Account, the Customer must, by the deadline set by the Company, choose one of the following actions: (i) exchange the affected Crypto-Assets for another Crypto-Asset supported by the Service, if the Service supports such exchange, or for Fiat Funds, (ii) transfer the affected Crypto-Assets to an External Wallet in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Transfer Service; or (iii) transfer the affected Crypto-Assets to the Expansion Service, if such an option is offered by the Company. If the Customer does not choose any action within the deadline set by the Company, or if the Company determines that it cannot complete the requested transfer of Crypto-Assets to an External Wallet or the Expansion Service, the Crypto-Assets will be converted into Fiat Funds at the prevailing market rate offered by the Company in accordance with terms and conditions of the Exchange Service.

2.6. If the Agreement between the Company and the Customer is terminated, the section 14.5 of Annex A applies.

2.7. The Company shall, in electronic form, at the request of the Customer, provide the Customer with a statement of position concerning the Customer’s Crypto-Assets in the Crypto-Asset Account.

3.       Exchange Service

3.1. By making an Order to the Company in the Service, the Customer may use the Exchange Service with the Crypto-Assets or Fiat Funds in the Customer’s Account to exchange Crypto-Assets for Fiat Funds or other Crypto-Assets or Fiat Funds for Crypto-Assets.

3.2. The price of each Crypto-Asset is clearly and publicly displayed to the Customer before the confirmation of any Order, including a fixed price of the Crypto-Assets proposed for exchange. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, if the Customer decides to make a Limit Order or Stop Order, the price of the Crypto-Asset shall be based on the price offered by the Company in the Exchange Service at the moment of execution of the relevant Limit Order or Stop Order. For further clarity, a Limit Order or a Stop Order is triggered for execution only if the price offered by the Company achieves the fixed price by the expiration date, as defined by the Customer when placing the Order. In such an event, the Company shall execute that sell or buy Limit Order or Stop Order promptly, but no later than within 60 seconds, or in exceptional circumstances, within a longer or shorter time, always using the price offered by the Company at the time of execution in the Exchange Service. For an absolute clarity, because of the method for determining the price of the Crypto-Assets for the Limit Order or Stop Order, the price of executed Limit Order or Stop Order may differ, even significantly, from the price the Customer has indicated to accept when placing a sale or buy Limit Order or Stop Order. The Customer explicitly understands and accepts this potential variation in the execution price of Limit Orders and Stop Orders.

3.3. In cases a specific Crypto-Asset exchange through the Exchange Service is subject to a limit imposed by the Company (e.g., limits on the maximum or minimum value accepted for a Crypto-Asset), such limit shall be clearly communicated to the Customer through the Service before the confirmation of any Order.  For clarity, Limit Orders and Stop Orders are always subject to the limits imposed by the Company at any given time, regardless of when the Limit Order or Stop Order is or was made.

3.4. The Customer’s Order in the Exchange Service shall be considered final and irrevocable when the Customer confirms the Order in the Service. However, if the Customer makes a Limit Order or Stop Order, the Customer is able to decline the Limit Order or Stop Order until the set price for a Limit Order or Stop Order is reached in the Exchange Service.

3.5. The Customer may use the Exchange Service’s Monthly Saving and/or Recurring Buy features by Instructing the Company in the Service to repeatedly exchange Fiat Funds for Crypto-Assets on a preset day of each month or some other frequency. The actions shall take place only if the Customer has sufficient Fiat Funds in the Customer’s Fiat Account. The Customer may freely terminate the use of the Monthly Saving and/or Recurring Buy features by Instructing the Company in the Service.

4.       Transfer Service

4.1. By making an Order to the Company in the Service, the Customer may use the Transfer Service to transfer Crypto-Assets from the Crypto-Asset Account to an External Wallet.

4.2. When using the Transfer Service, the Customer bears exclusive responsibility for all Instructions related to the transfer. This includes the accuracy and validity of the recipient address supplied. The Company is under no obligation to validate or confirm the correctness of the receival address or any other details provided by the Customer as part of the transfer Instructions. Consequently, the Company disclaims all liability for any issues, losses, or errors that arise as a direct result of the Instructions provided by the Customer. Customers are urged to double-check all transfer details prior to submission to ensure their correctness and prevent potential disputes.

4.3. Transfer Service is subject to compliance with the TFR and AML Act, and thus, the Customer understands and agrees that the Company may take any measures necessary to ensure compliance with TFR and AML Act. For clarity, said measures could include, e.g., requesting additional and required information from the Customer and sharing the required information with third parties in connection with the Customer's Order. Hence, the Customer acknowledges that there might be some delays when providing the Transfer Service and/or the Company might refuse to complete the Customer’s Order. The Company has under its sole discretion right to refuse any Customer’s Order to transfer Crypto-Assets. The Customer understands and accepts that the Company is not liable for any losses or delays that arise from the Company’s actions and/or inactions in accordance with the TFR and/or AML Act.

D. EXPANSION SERVICE TERMS

Valid as of 12.9.2024

1.       About the Expansion Service

1.1   The Customer of the Company may use the Company’s Expansion Service (“hereinafter “Expansion Service”) after concluding these Expansion Service Terms with the Company.

1.2   Once these Expansion Service Terms have been accepted by the Customer, these Expansion Service Terms shall become an integral part of the Agreement, and the Expansion Service shall become an integral part of the Service, as defined in the Terms of Service.

1.3   The Expansion Service is provided to the Customer by the Company by use of the Company’s Outsourcing Partner services (hereinafter “Outsourcing Partner Services”). The Company has the sole discretion to decide which Outsourcing Partner to use and is not required to inform the Customer of any changes in Outsourcing Partner. Despite the use of the Outsourcing Partner Services, the contractual relationship in the Expansion Service shall always be formed between the Company and the Customer. Therefore, any questions, requests or complaints regarding the Expansion Service shall be made to the Company and in no case to the Outsourcing Partner.

1.4   For clarity, the Company utilizes the following Outsourcing Partner Services in connection to Expansion Service:

Outsourcing Partner name	Outsourcing Partner Services
Bitpanda GmbH	-          Custody and administration of Crypto-Assets to Company

1.5   Expansion Service includes the following services of the Company:

− “Expansion Exchange Service” means the exchange of Crypto-Assets for Fiat Funds or Fiat Funds for Crypto-Assets. Expansion Exchange Service is provided by the Company to the Customer in relation to Crypto-Assets that Company custodies with the Outsourcing Partner (the “Expansion Crypto-Assets”).    

-          “Expansion Custody Service” means the provision of custody and administration services by the Company to Customers in relation to Expansion Crypto-Assets. For such Expansion Crypto Assets, the Company provides the Customer with a separate account for the Expansion Crypto-Assets (the “Expansion Service Account”). The Company uses Outsourcing Partner’s technical infrastructure to provide the Expansion Custody Services to the Customer. For clarity, this Expansion Service Account is separate from the Customer’s Crypto Asset Account. Therefore, the Customer acknowledges that the Expansion Service does not include a service which would enable the transfer of Crypto-Assets outside the Service or to the Custody Service defined in the Terms of Service Annex B.

1.6   All terms and definitions not defined in these Expansion Service Terms shall have the same meaning as in the Agreement. If a term or a definition would be defined both in these Expansion Service Terms and the Agreement, the meaning of these Expansion Service Terms shall prevail for the purposes of the Expansion Service.

2.       Notification of the Risks in the Expansion Service

2.1   The Customer confirms and agrees that the Customer has already read and familiarized theirself with Company’s risk notification visible in the Terms of Service.

2.2   In addition to the Crypto-related risks visible in the Terms of Service, the Expansion Service is also considered a high-risk service, which main risks contain:

-          counterparty/credit risks (e.g. if Outsourcing Partner or a counterparty of the Company or Outsourcing Partner’s counterparty would default or faces other difficulties hindering its operations, there is a risk that the Customer’s funds would be lost in whole or in part and/or there might be significant delays in providing the Expansion Service),

-          liquidity risks (e.g. the Crypto-Assets offered through Expansion Service might be less liquid than traditional Crypto-Assets, whereby there is a highlighted risk that Crypto-Assets may be difficult to trade),

-          market risks (e.g. changes in the market conditions could result in the decrease of value of the Crypto-Assets, and since the market operates 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week, every day of the year, the market conditions can change any time), and

-          operational risks (e.g. blockchain technology and DeFi are intrinsically fraught with vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities stem from aspects like consensus mechanisms, challenges with interoperability, and the open-source character of the platforms. Consequently, these vulnerabilities might lead to potential losses or delays for the Customer.).

2.3   The list of risks listed in section 2.2 is not exhaustive, and many additional risks not listed above and even unpredictable risks may be associated with both Crypto-Assets and the Expansion Service.

2.4   Due to the inherent risks associated with the Expansion Service and Crypto-Assets in general, using the Expansion Service carries a significant risk of capital loss, potentially up to the full amount invested.

2.5   By using the Expansion Service, the Customer acknowledges and accepts the risks pertaining to the Expansion Service and Crypto-Assets in general.

The Company is not liable for losses in any form suffered by the Customer resulting from such actions or circumstances. Following such an event, the Customer agrees and understands that the fixed price for the proposed exchange may differ significantly from the prices prior to such event.

3.4   If a contractual relationship between the Company and a Outsourcing Partner would cease, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Company may not be able to provide the Expansion Service as it normally would since the Company might need to find a new Outsourcing Partner Service to keep providing the Expansion Service, or it might be compelled to stop offering the Expansion Service permanently. In such an event the Customer acknowledges and agrees that the fixed price for the proposed exchange may differ significantly from the prices prior to such event and/or the Company might be unable to complete the Order made by the Customer.
