References in these Terms to “You”, “Your” and “User” mean any natural person or legal entity accessing or using the Website or interacting with the Company in connection with the OTC Services.

4. Access to and Use of the OTC Services

Access to the OTC Services is subject to the Company’s acceptance of the prospective Client, completion of applicable onboarding and compliance procedures, and satisfaction of the Company’s legal, regulatory, operational and risk-management requirements.

The Company does not provide custodial or safekeeping services for Virtual Currency.

The Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, refuse, restrict, suspend or discontinue access to the OTC Services where:

  • applicable onboarding or compliance requirements have not been satisfied;
  • required information or documentation has not been provided or is incomplete, inaccurate, misleading or otherwise unsatisfactory;
  • legal, regulatory, sanctions, anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing (hereinafter – “AML/ATF”), fraud, financial crime or other material risk concerns are identified;
  • the relevant OTC Service or transaction is unavailable for operational, liquidity or settlement reasons; 
  • the provision of the OTC Services would be inconsistent with applicable law, the Company’s internal policies or risk appetite.

The availability of the OTC Services may vary depending on the jurisdiction, type of Client, Virtual Currency, transaction size, settlement method and other relevant circumstances.

The Company may implement geographic restrictions, jurisdictional screening, IP-based limitations or other access-control measures where reasonably necessary for legal, regulatory, compliance or risk-management purposes.

The Company does not guarantee the availability of any particular OTC Service, Virtual Currency, currency pair, payment method or settlement option.

4.1. Eligibility

To use the OTC Services, You must:

  • have full legal capacity to enter into binding agreements;
  • provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information and documentation requested by the Company;
  • act on Your own behalf or, where acting on behalf of another person or legal entity, have full authority to do so;
  • use the OTC Services only for lawful purposes and in compliance with these Terms and applicable law; 
  • not be subject to sanctions, restrictions or other circumstances that would prevent the Company from lawfully providing the OTC Services to You.

You are responsible for ensuring that Your access to and use of the OTC Services is lawful. Where You act on behalf of a legal entity or another person, You represent and warrant that You are duly authorised to bind such person in connection with the OTC Services and any relevant transaction.

Meeting the eligibility requirements does not create any right or entitlement to receive the OTC Services. 

4.2. Website Use

The Website provides general information about the Company, the OTC Services and related operational matters. The Website is intended to provide access to the Company’s OTC Services, including functionality relating to onboarding, transaction requests, communications, confirmations and other transaction-related processes. 

The Website may contain information relating to Virtual Currency, Fiat Currency, transaction processes, compliance requirements, settlement arrangements, liquidity, supported assets or other matters relevant to the Company’s activities. Such information is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer, solicitation, recommendation, invitation or commitment by the Company to enter into any transaction.

The Website may include onboarding, transaction-request, quote-request, confirmation, communication and other functionality through which a User may interact with the Company in connection with a potential or actual Transaction.  Submission of any inquiry, request or information through the Website does not:

  • create a Client relationship;
  • constitute acceptance of a transaction;
  • amount to a binding quote or offer by the Company; 
  • oblige the Company to provide any OTC Services.

The Company does not warrant that information available on the Website is complete, accurate, current or suitable for any particular purpose.

For the avoidance of doubt, the availability of any contact form, quote request function or other communication tool on the Website does not mean that the OTC Services are offered, solicited or made available in any jurisdiction where such activities would be prohibited or restricted.

4.3. Onboarding and Compliance Review

Before providing the OTC Services, the Company may require a prospective Client to complete applicable onboarding and compliance procedures.

The Company may require You to provide information and documentation necessary to verify Your identity, legal status, ownership and control, authority to act, source of funds, source of wealth where applicable, intended transaction activity and other matters relevant to the proposed relationship.

Depending on the circumstances, the Company may conduct Know Your Customer and Know Your Business (hereinafter – “KYC/KYB”) verification, beneficial ownership checks, sanctions screening, screening for politically exposed person (hereinafter – “PEP”) and head of international organization (hereinafter – “HIO”), adverse media review, blockchain and Wallet screening, source-of-funds or source-of-wealth verification, fraud-prevention checks, risk assessment and enhanced due diligence (hereinafter – “EDD”).

You must ensure that all information and documentation provided to the Company is accurate, complete, current and not misleading, and promptly notify the Company of any material change.

The Company may request additional information or documentation, and conduct further compliance reviews, at any stage of onboarding or during the Client relationship where reasonably required for legal, regulatory, compliance or risk-management purposes.

Completion of onboarding does not guarantee acceptance as a Client or access to the OTC Services. The Company may decline, suspend or discontinue onboarding or the provision of OTC Services where applicable requirements are not satisfied or where legal, regulatory, sanctions, AML/ATF, fraud, financial crime or other material risk concerns arise.

4.4. Transaction Requests and Confirmation

The submission of a transaction inquiry or request for a quote does not constitute acceptance of the proposed transaction and does not oblige the Company to provide a quote or enter into the transaction.

Each transaction is considered individually. No transaction shall become binding unless and until:

  • the Company has completed any required compliance, legal, operational and internal approval procedures;
  • the relevant transaction terms, including the Virtual Currency or Fiat Currency involved, amount, price or exchange rate, applicable fees or charges, and settlement conditions, have been communicated by the Company; 
  • the Client has accepted such terms in the manner specified by the Company.

Unless otherwise expressly stated by the Company, any quote is specific to the relevant transaction and may be subject to a limited validity period, prevailing market conditions, liquidity availability and other conditions communicated by the Company.

The Company may decline to proceed with a proposed transaction or withdraw a quote or proposed transaction terms at any time before the transaction becomes binding.

Where any transaction-specific confirmation, settlement instruction or other written terms expressly agreed for a particular transaction conflict with these Terms, the transaction-specific terms shall prevail solely in respect of that transaction and to the extent of such conflict.

4.5. Settlement and Transaction Processing

Transactions shall be processed and settled in accordance with the applicable transaction terms and settlement instructions communicated by the Company.

For Virtual Currency transfers, the Client must use only the Wallet address or other settlement destination confirmed by the Company and is responsible for verifying the relevant Virtual Currency, blockchain network, amount and address before initiating the transfer. Blockchain transactions may be irreversible.

For Fiat Currency payments, the Client must use the bank account or settlement channel specified or confirmed by the Company and comply with the applicable payment instructions.

The Company may use third-party service providers in connection with transaction execution, liquidity sourcing and settlement.

The Company may conduct or require transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, blockchain or Wallet screening, compliance with applicable Travel Rule requirements, and other compliance checks before, during or after a Transaction. 

Before a Transaction becomes binding, the Company may decline, delay, suspend or cancel the proposed Transaction for legal, regulatory, compliance, sanctions, AML/ATF, fraud-prevention, operational, liquidity or settlement reasons. Once a Transaction has become binding, any delay, suspension, cancellation or termination shall be governed by the applicable transaction-specific terms, these Terms to the extent applicable, and applicable law. 

Transaction processing or settlement may be affected by banking delays, blockchain congestion, third-party processing times, technical issues, liquidity conditions or other circumstances outside the Company’s reasonable control.

5. Prohibited Use and Restricted Activities

You must not use the Website, the OTC Services or any transaction for any unlawful, fraudulent, abusive or prohibited purpose, or in any manner that materially exposes the Company to legal, regulatory, compliance, financial or operational risk.

Without limiting the foregoing, You must not:

  • provide false, inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or fraudulent information or documentation to the Company;
  • impersonate another person, misrepresent Your identity, authority, ownership or control, or act on behalf of another person or legal entity without properly disclosing such relationship to the Company;
  • use the Website or the OTC Services in connection with money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, fraud, theft, proceeds of crime or any other unlawful activity;
  • use funds or Virtual Currency that You know or reasonably should know are derived from unlawful activity;
  • conduct or attempt to conduct a transaction involving a sanctioned person, restricted jurisdiction, prohibited activity or other person, jurisdiction or activity that the Company is prohibited from servicing or has designated as restricted or prohibited under its internal risk-based framework; 
  • use the OTC Services for the benefit of an undisclosed third party or conceal the identity of the true originator, beneficiary, beneficial owner or other person exercising ownership or control in connection with a transaction;
  • attempt to circumvent, interfere with or evade any onboarding, KYC/KYB, sanctions, AML/ATF, fraud-prevention, transaction-monitoring, Wallet-screening, geographic, security or other compliance control implemented by the Company;
  • provide or use any Wallet address, payment instruction, bank account or other settlement information that is unauthorised, fraudulent, inaccurate or intended to conceal the source, destination, ownership or purpose of a transaction;
  • interfere with, disrupt, damage or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, the Company’s systems, infrastructure or services; 
  • otherwise use the Website or the OTC Services in a manner inconsistent with these Terms or applicable law.

Where the Company reasonably suspects that any prohibited or restricted activity has occurred, is occurring or may occur, the Company may refuse, restrict, suspend or terminate access to the OTC Services, decline or suspend a transaction, request additional information or documentation, and take any other measures reasonably required for legal, regulatory, sanctions, AML/ATF, fraud-prevention, security or risk-management purposes.

The Company may make any report, disclosure or referral to a regulator, governmental authority, law enforcement agency, financial institution or other competent body where required or permitted by applicable law.

THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTION, DELAY, RESTRICTION, SUSPENSION OR CANCELLATION UNDERTAKEN IN GOOD FAITH FOR LEGAL, REGULATORY, SANCTIONS, AML/ATF, COMPLIANCE OR RISK-MANAGEMENT PURPOSES.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms, together with any contractual or non-contractual rights and obligations arising out of or relating to the Website, the OTC Services, any transaction, onboarding, compliance procedures or other dealings with the Company, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

A party intending to raise a dispute, claim or controversy shall first provide the other party with written notice setting out the nature of the matter and the relief sought. The parties shall use reasonable good-faith efforts to resolve the dispute through informal discussions before commencing formal proceedings.

Where the parties mutually agree in writing after a dispute has arisen, the dispute may be submitted to final and binding arbitration.

Nothing in this Section prevents either party from seeking interim, injunctive, conservatory or other urgent relief from a court of competent jurisdiction where reasonably necessary to preserve or protect its rights, confidential information, intellectual property, compliance position or other legitimate interests.

Nothing in these Terms restricts the Company from cooperating with regulators, governmental authorities, law enforcement agencies, courts, financial institutions, compliance providers or other competent bodies in connection with any investigation, inquiry, legal process, sanctions matter, fraud-prevention measure or regulatory obligation.

12. Miscellaneous

These Terms and any transaction-specific terms applicable to a particular transaction constitute the entire agreement between You and the Company with respect to the Website and the OTC Services and supersede any prior understandings, representations or communications relating to the same subject matter.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision shall be applied to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

No failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of that right or remedy. Any waiver shall be effective only if made expressly and in writing.
