If you do enable enhanced security features, it is your responsibility to ensure the security of, and your continuous control over, any device or account that may be associated with the enhanced security features.

Identity Verification

Depending on the functions that you seek to enable on your account and CoinACE's risk determination, CoinACE may, in its discretion, require identity verification and other screening procedures with respect to you or transactions associated with your CoinACE Account. These verification and screening procedures may include, without limitation, checking the information you provide against the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Persons list, and any similar list issued by any U.S. governmental authority or any other governmental authority as well as Non-Governmental and International Organizations prohibiting or limiting business activities or transactions with any persons. You may be required to provide CoinACE with certain personal information, including, but not limited to, your full name, address and state of residence, nationality, telephone number, email address, date of birth, taxpayer identification number, government identification number, government-issued ID or other proof of your identity, and information regarding your bank account. For Enterprise Users additional information may be required like: Company name, legal form, domicile address, country of domicile, date of incorporation, place and date of entry in the commercial register, if any, as well as the names of the bodies or trustees formally acting on behalf of the legal entity as well as the information identifying the ultimate beneficial owners of this legal entity. You hereby acknowledge that CoinACE, directly or through a third party, may make inquiries CoinACE considers necessary to verify your identity and/or protect against fraud, including but not limited to: (a) query identity information contained in public reports (e.g., your name, address, past addresses, or date of birth); (b) query account information associated with your linked bank account (e.g., name or account balance); and (c) take action CoinACE reasonably deems necessary based on the results of such inquiries and reports. CoinACE will have no liability or responsibility for any permanent or temporary inability to access or use any Services, including your inability to withdraw Tokens or execute Trades, as a result of any identity verification or other screening procedures, as long as CoinACE complies with its legal or contractual obligations regarding identity verification or other screening procedures.

Responsibility for Account Activities

You will be bound by, and hereby authorize CoinACE to accept and rely on, any agreements, instructions, orders, authorizations and any other actions made, provided or taken by anyone who has accessed or used your CoinACE Account regardless of whether the access is authorized or unauthorized. Upon receipt of written notice from you that the security of your account has been compromised, CoinACE will take reasonable steps to protect your account, including, for example, to cease to allow actions initiated using any compromised account passwords. But, the first sentence of this section will continue to apply to any other account password, and any substitute password issued to replace the compromised account password.

Number of CoinACE Accounts / Beneficial Ownership

CoinACE may, in its sole discretion, limit the number of CoinACE Accounts that you may hold, maintain, or acquire, consistent with its AML/KYC policy. In addition to that you are not allowed to hold individual accounts for third parties. Any individual account holder must be the beneficial owner of the transferred funds.

RISK DISCLOSURES; ASSUMPTION OF RISKS; RELEASE OF CoinACE

The risks described in this Section 4 may result in loss of Tokens, decrease in or loss of all value for Tokens, inability to access or transfer Tokens, inability to trade Tokens, inability to receive financial benefits available to other Token holders, and other financial losses to you. You hereby acknowledge that these risks fall outside the sphere which may be influenced by actions of CoinACE. Therefore, CoinACE will have no responsibility or liability for, any such risks. You represent and warrant that you have: (a) the necessary technical expertise and ability to review and evaluate the security, integrity and operation of any Tokens that you decide to acquire or trade; and (b) the knowledge, experience, understanding, professional advice and information to make your own evaluation of the merits and risks of any Token or trade. You accept the risk of trading Tokens by using the Services, and are responsible for conducting your own independent analysis of the risks specific to the Tokens and the Services. You should not acquire or trade any Tokens unless you have sufficient financial resources and can afford to lose all value of the Tokens. CoinACE's decision to support the transfer, storage or trading of any particular Token through the Services does not indicate CoinACE's approval or disapproval of the Token or the integrity, security or operation of the Token or its Underlying Technology. The risks associated with Tokens and trading Tokens apply notwithstanding CoinACE's decision to support a particular Token. CoinACE does not provide trading advice, does not have any fiduciary duty to you or any other user and does not make any warranty about the suitability of any Token for trading or ownership by you.

GENERAL SERVICE TERMS

Conditions and Restrictions

CoinACE may, at any time and in its sole discretion, refuse any transfer request, Order or other transaction request submitted via the Services, impose limits on the amounts of transfers or Trades that can be completed on a daily or other periodic basis or impose any other conditions or restrictions upon your use of the Services, without prior notice. For example, CoinACE may: (a) limit the number of open Orders that you can establish via the Services; (b) restrict transaction requests from certain locations; or (c) restrict withdrawals or trading if there is a reasonable suspicion of fraud, diminished capacity, inappropriate activity, or if CoinACE receives reasonable notice that your ownership of some or all of the Tokens in your CoinACE Account is in dispute.

Accuracy of Information

You must provide any information required by any screen displayed within the Services. You represent and warrant that all information you provide via the Services is accurate and complete in all respects.

Support for Tokens

CoinACE retains the right, in its sole discretion, to determine whether to support transfer, storage or trading of any Token using the Services, and may discontinue or terminate any support for any Token at any time for any or no reason. Unless otherwise required by law or law enforcement, CoinACE will make reasonable efforts to notify you of its decision to cease to support of a Token. If CoinACE ceases to support transfer or storage of a particular Token using the Services, CoinACE will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you at least thirty (30) days prior so as to afford you with an opportunity to transfer the affected Token from your Hosted Wallet to an External Address. If you do not transfer the affected Token out of your Hosted Wallet prior to cessation of support for the Token by CoinACE, the Token may be lost due to your inability to access, transfer or otherwise control the Token. CoinACE will not be liable to you for any losses, liability or expenses related to its decision to cease any support for any Token.

Derivative Protocols

Unless CoinACE notifies you or makes a public statement to the contrary, CoinACE does not support Derivative Protocols and you should not use your CoinACE Account to attempt to transfer, store, trade or engage in any other type of transaction involving a Derivative Protocol. CoinACE will have no responsibility or liability whatsoever in respect to any Derivative Protocol.

Compliance with Law; Taxes

You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws related to your trading activities and other use of the Services, including without limitation any reporting obligations and payment of all applicable taxes. You will determine what, if any, taxes apply to the Trades and any other transactions you complete via the Services, and it is your responsibility to report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. CoinACE is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your Trades or for collecting, reporting, withholding, or remitting any taxes arising from any Trades.

AML/KYC Compliance

CoinACE maintains internal anti-money laundering and know your customer compliance programs ("AML/KYC Program"). Each of these AML/KYC Programs is a risk-based program founded on requirements of the Due Diligence Act and Ordinance, other anti-money laundering laws and implementing regulations, and guidance promulgated by the Financial Action Task Force. Each of these AML/KYC Program may be updated from time-to-time, including the procedures that CoinACE uses to verify its customers' identities.

Error Correction Attempts

CoinACE may, at its option and discretion, attempt to correct, reverse or cancel any Order, Trade or transfer with respect to which CoinACE has discovered that there was an error, whether such error was by you, CoinACE or a third party. You hereby authorize CoinACE to attempt any such correction, reversal or cancellation described in the preceding sentence. CoinACE provides no guarantee or warranty that any such attempt will be successful and will have no responsibility or liability for the error or any correction attempt.

Property Disputes

If CoinACE receives notice that any Tokens held in your Hosted Wallet are alleged to have been stolen or otherwise are not lawfully possessed by you, CoinACE may, but has no obligation to, place an administrative hold on the affected Tokens or your Hosted Wallet. If CoinACE does place an administrative hold on some or all of your Tokens, CoinACE may continue such hold until such time as the dispute has been resolved and evidence of the resolution acceptable to CoinACE has been provided to CoinACE in a form acceptable to CoinACE. CoinACE will not involve itself in any such dispute or the resolution of the dispute. You agree that CoinACE will have no liability or responsibility for any such hold, or for your inability to withdraw Tokens or execute Trades during the period of any such hold.
