In addition, you may be required to comply with other requirements within your jurisdiction in order to open an account or use the Services. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of such other requirements, but your ability to open an account and use the Services is subject to these other requirements, whether or not notice is given. By creating an account or using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet all conditions. If you no longer meet the conditions, you must immediately notify us and stop using your account and Services. We may require you to provide proof of eligibility. Even if you meet the conditions, we may determine in our sole discretion that you are not eligible to have an account or use the Services.

You authorize us to conduct investigations directly or through third parties that we believe are necessary to verify your identity, confirm the above eligibility requirements, protect you or us from fraud or other financial crimes, and that we believe may help comply with these terms and applicable laws. You understand and agree that we may take actions that we reasonably believe are necessary based on the results of such investigations. We are not obligated to notify you of the results of any investigations, and you expressly waive any obligation that we (or affiliated companies) may take or advise you to take any possible remedial measures. When we conduct these investigations, you acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be disclosed to credit counseling and fraud prevention or financial crime agencies, and these agencies may respond to our investigations in full.

Your event

You agree and represent and warrant that you will:

  • Do not use your account for the benefit of anyone other than yourself.
  • Do not share your account or password with anyone.
  • Maintain the security of your account, including setting a strong password for your account that you will not use elsewhere.

We may decide in our sole discretion whether it is necessary or appropriate to suspend or even terminate your account. For information on account suspension or termination, please refer to Section 14 below.

You are fully responsible for all acts and omissions that occur under your account, and all actions taken using your account will be considered your own.

2.Assets to

Account

Many of our services require you to have certain assets in your account. To transfer assets to your account (" Transfer “), you need to be the actual or Beneficial Owner of a bank account maintained outside of the service (” Bank Account ") and your bank account must be approved by us. We do not approve all bank accounts and may revoke approval of any bank account at any time without notice.

We are not responsible for the use, management, or security of any bank account. By using a bank account to obtain services, you represent and warrant:

You are the actual beneficiary of the bank account.

(2) You comply with all terms and conditions applicable to bank accounts;

(3) You have the right to deposit and withdraw money from your bank account.

(4) You have provided us with complete and accurate information about your bank account.

Before accepting any transfer from a bank account, we may ask you to verify that you control the bank account, and you agree to provide us with all information necessary for such verification.

Our service only supports certain types of assets. If you attempt to transfer assets that we do not support or accept, you may permanently lose such assets, and we will not be responsible for your losses. We may, at our discretion, attempt to identify and return such assets, but we are not obligated to do so. If we choose to do so, we may charge you fees to cover the costs and fees associated with identifying and returning such assets or cryptocurrency. Such fees may be deducted from assets that are improperly transferred.

Implementation

We do not control or guarantee the time required to complete the transfer. This time range depends on the performance of third parties, including third-party financial institutions or payment services.

Once a deposit and publish is initiated, it may not be possible to cancel. All deposits and publishes are final and non-refundable once completed, but you can be assets. We may refuse any transfer or impose restrictions on your transfer at any time and without notice. If you withdraw a deposit, publish, payment, or other transaction from your bank account, you authorize us to cancel the transaction or use other assets and legal currency in your account to complete the transaction or resolve any shortfalls or negative balances resulting from it, including exchanging assets or legal currency in your account for other types of assets or legal currency and deducting any applicable fees.

We may charge you deposit and publishing fees. See Section 6 for more information on fees. Use of financial accounts may also incur third party fees and we are not responsible for any such third party fees.

Custody and ownership of assets

The assets in your account, including those received, are assets held by us for you. Ownership of the assets in your account remains with you at all times and will not be transferred to us, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The assets in your account or any other client account are not our property, are not lent to us, or are not the subject of claims by our creditors. We will not treat the assets in your account or any other client account as or as our property. However, the court may disagree with our treatment of your assets and make them the subject of claims by our creditors. We cannot grant a security interest in the assets in your account (but we do not represent or warrant that any assets are free of any security interest or other lien or encumbrance). We will not sell, transfer, lend, mortgage, or otherwise transfer any assets in your account unless required by a court order that appears to be valid or provided for in these Terms, unless you instruct us to do so. You own and control the assets in your account. You may withdraw your assets from your account as described in these Terms.

3.Withdrawal or remittance

You may transfer assets from your account (" Withdrawal " or " Remittance ") into our approved bank account. You may withdraw up to the total amount of assets in your account, less any fees associated with such withdrawals. You cannot withdraw or remit assets if the balance of assets in your account falls below any minimum balance requirement, the amount required to satisfy any unposition squaring position, or any fees you owe.

When you request a withdrawal or money transfer, you authorize us to remove assets from your account or transfer money to your bound bank account, with any fees deducted in each case. Withdrawals or money transfers may not be completed in part or in full, including because third-party accounts reject your assets, or third-party accounts are unavailable. We will attempt to complete withdrawals or money transfers that can be completed within a reasonable time after your request (whether in part or in full), but we cannot guarantee that withdrawals or money transfers will be completed within any specific time. We are not responsible for any losses caused by any rejected withdrawals or money transfers.

Once a withdrawal or remittance is initiated, it may not be possible to cancel. All withdrawals or remittances, once initiated, are final and irrevocable. We may refuse any withdrawal/remittance at any time and without notice, or impose restrictions on the withdrawal/remittance you can make (e.g., in terms of size and frequency).

We may decide in our sole discretion whether it is necessary or appropriate to suspend your withdrawal or remittance rights. We reserve the right to indefinitely suspend your withdrawal or remittance rights to ensure compliance with these terms or any legal, regulatory or administrative obligations or guidance (at our sole discretion).

4.Transaction

Generally speaking

Depending on eligibility requirements and geographical restrictions, our services may allow you to trade through your account:

  • Exchange one asset for another.
  • US stock assets or Hong Kong stock assets and their derivative assets.
  • Digital currency assets and their derivative assets.

The assets available for trading may change without notice. In addition, you may not be able to trade certain assets for certain other assets.

Please refer to our Help Center for more information about trading, including some important terms related to trading. If you do not understand all the content of our Help Center or important terms related to trading, please do not make any transactions.

Implementation

More information about using assets to fund your account before trading. To trade, you must submit an order through the service. Some order types may not be suitable for your use, and we may delete or change any order type at any time in our sole discretion. Order types may be limited to certain assets, and not all assets may be traded for each order type.

When you submit an order, you authorize us to execute transactions based on the order (and the type of order you choose, if applicable) and charge you any applicable fees and taxes. We cannot guarantee that any order will be traded at any specific exchange rate, and the exchange rate that may be used for your order may be different from that provided by a third party. We are not responsible for matching any third-party exchange rates or providing you with any specific exchange rates. The actual exchange rate for order execution may be different from the current market exchange rate indicated by our service when you place your order, and we are not responsible for any such differences or any price fluctuations of assets. Any exchange rate displayed on our platform is only valid for a specific period and may not be the latest. If the order type you have selected for your order is set to execute only at a specific price or only when certain incidental conditions are met (e.g., limit orders), we cannot guarantee that the order will be executed in whole or in part.

We may provide you with confirmation information for successfully executed transactions. If we do not provide confirmation information, it does not mean that the transaction did not occur. Your “Historical Orders” page will reflect successfully executed transactions. The profits from successfully executed transactions will be credited to your account, minus any applicable fees, and the assets you traded with these profits will be deducted from your account.

We may refuse any transaction or other transaction in our sole discretion, whether or not confirmed by you, and we are not responsible for any refusal.

After receiving BiyaPay’s indicative transaction terms and fees, you enter the specified transaction pair and quantity of orders to complete the transaction, and we will act as your counterparty to complete the transaction.

Transactions where you submit a limit or market order will be executed by us on your behalf as an agent.

You understand that applicable transaction fees and taxes may change. We will show you the applicable fees we charge before proceeding with the transaction. By confirming the transaction, you agree to pay all such applicable fees. If your transaction is rejected (which rarely happens), you will not have to pay any such fees.

Cancel

All transactions are final and non-refundable. Unless otherwise provided in these Terms, all orders cannot be cancelled, including before or after we execute the transaction. In some cases, you may have the opportunity to request cancellation of an order before we execute the transaction, but we may refuse any cancellation request in our sole discretion. If we comply with such cancellation requests, it does not mean that we will cancel future orders in the same or similar circumstances. If your transaction or other transaction is unsuccessful, or if your payment method does not have sufficient assets to complete the transaction or other transaction, you further authorize us to cancel the transaction or transaction or use other assets in your account to complete the transaction or resolve any shortfall or negative balance resulting from it, including exchanging assets in your account for other types of assets and deducting any applicable fees and taxes.

Error

If an error occurs, whether through our services or platforms, in purchase order confirmations, in processing your purchases, in funding your account, in transferring assets to a bank account, or in any other transaction, we reserve the right (and you authorize us) to correct such errors, including modifying transactions (including charging the correct price), canceling transactions, or taking any other action to resolve errors (including exchanging assets in your account for other types of assets and deducting any applicable fees and taxes to correct errors).

Insufficient assets

If there are not enough assets in your account to complete the transaction, we may choose to cancel the entire transaction or use the amount of assets currently available in your account less any fees and taxes to complete part of the transaction.

Restrictions

We may at any time and without prior notice (1) refuse to execute any transaction or order, including if you do not hold or reflect sufficient assets in your account, and (2) impose restrictions on transactions.

5.Expenses; taxes

Our fees

You agree to pay us all applicable fees related to your use of the service, including transaction, transfer, wealth management, and withdrawal/remittance fees. You authorize us to deduct a certain amount of assets from your account (as appropriate) to pay for any applicable fees related to your use of the service. The relevant fees are displayed in our Help Center…

We may change fees and fee schedules at any time without notice. Changes to fee schedules take effect from the effective date displayed on the fee schedule and will apply to your use of the service in the future.

If we determine that the funds are insufficient to pay any fees, you hereby authorize us to sell sufficient assets from your account to pay any payable fees. You are responsible for any and all additional fees incurred in selling assets to pay us fees.

If you fail to pay fees or any other amounts owed to us, these unpaid amounts will accrue interest at the prescribed annual rate or the maximum amount allowed by law. In addition, we may transfer your unpaid amounts to third parties for collection, and we will charge you a certain percentage of the unpaid amount or the maximum percentage allowed by applicable law to pay for our collection-related expenses.

Third party fees

Your use of the service may also incur third-party fees, such as fees related to your bank account or other fees. You are responsible for paying all such fees.

You are solely responsible for determining the applicable taxes and fees when using the service (including transactions, deposits, and withdrawals), and declaring and remitting the correct taxes and fees to the relevant tax authorities. You agree that, unless otherwise provided by law, we are not responsible or obligated to determine applicable taxes or collect, declare, withhold, or remit any taxes or fees generated by transactions.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, we may deduct (or, as the case may be, deduct) national, provincial, local income tax, non-income tax, or other taxes from any amount due or payable to you, which may be required to be deducted under any applicable law or regulation of any jurisdiction or tax authority. You authorize us, at our sole discretion, to increase any applicable fees in lieu of separately specified taxes to make up for taxes owed on specific transactions conducted using our services.

We are subject to various obligations imposed by tax laws (and others) and regulatory authorities in different jurisdictions. These obligations may require us to request additional information, documents or proof from you and to process certain personal data for identity verification, payment processing, compliance with court orders, tax laws or other purposes not disclosed herein. Please refer to our Privacy Statement for information we may collect about you. These obligations may arise at various times, including but not limited to system checks for customer payment processing and risk management, and are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to lock, disable and close accounts as we deem necessary to comply with any such existing or future legal and regulatory obligations imposed.

6.Backed assets

The assets supported by our services are marked on our website (please check the corresponding help center), and we may change them at any time without notice, at our discretion. Some assets may not be available for trading, transfer, wealth management, withdrawal, or remittance in certain jurisdictions. The availability of assets on the platform for trading, transfer, wealth management, withdrawal, or remittance does not guarantee that such assets will be available for trading, transfer, wealth management, withdrawal, or remittance in the future. You are solely responsible for monitoring which assets are supported by the service BiyaPay. Even if you are engaged in time-sensitive trading, transfer, wealth management, withdrawal, or remittance, we are not responsible for stopping support for any specific asset. We reserve the right to stop supporting any asset with or without notice. You acknowledge and agree that we may take any action necessary to stop supporting an asset, including but not limited to canceling your trading order and requiring you to remove the stopped asset from your account within a reasonable time, and in no event shall we be liable for any direct or indirect losses, damages or costs suffered by you as a result of any action or inaction we take under this Agreement to stop supporting the asset.
