Any transaction listed in your Account History, or other communication including, but not limited to, orders, trades or other receipts sent to your email on record shall be deemed and treated as authorized, correct, approved, and confirmed by you unless we receive written notice to the contrary within three (3) business days from the date the transaction was listed or the communication was sent (as the case may be).

7.8. Forks. Digital Assets are based on an open source protocol. Anyone may clone the source code of the Digital Asset and develop a diverging blockchain protocol without prior permission by anyone else, also known as “Forks”. Forks can be made to any Digital Asset that may change the usability, functions, value or even name of a given Digital Asset. Such Forks may result in multiple versions of a Digital Asset Asset and could lead to the dominance of one or more such versions of a Digital Asset Asset (each a “ Dominant Digital Asset ”) and the partial or total abandonment or loss of value of any other versions of such Digital Asset (each a “ Non Dominant Digital Asset ”). SmartStopSet is under no obligation and may not be able to support a Fork of a Digital Asset that you hold through your Account, whether or not any resulting version of such forked Digital Asset is a Dominant Digital Asset or Non-Dominant Digital Asset or holds value at or following such Fork. Furthermore, as SmartStopSet does not hold custody of the Digital Assets, we cannot guarantee and assume no responsibility on whether a given Digital Asset Exchange supports a given Fork. If the Digital Asset Exchange does not support the Fork, you may not be able to receive the Digital Assets arising from such Fork. Forks of Digital Assets can be frequent, contentious and unpredictable, and therefore cannot be consistently supported on SmartStopSet. When trading or holding Digital Assets using your Account, you should operate under the assumption that SmartStopSet and/or the Digital Asset Exchanges will never support any Fork of such Digital Asset. If SmartStopSet or the Digital Asset Exchanges elect, in their sole discretion, to support a Fork of a Digital Asset, it may choose to do so by making a public announcement through the Website or the Digital Asset Exchanges respective sites, or otherwise notifying Users, and shall bear no liability for any real or potential losses that may result based on the decision to support such Fork or the timing of implementation of support. If SmartStopSet and/or the Digital Asset Exchanges, in their sole discretion, do not elect to support a Fork of a given Digital Asset, including the determination to support, continue to support, or cease to support any Dominant Digital Asset or Non Dominant Digital Asset, SmartStopSet assumes no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any losses or other issues that might arise from an unsupported Fork of a Digital Asset

e) You acknowledge, understand and agree that SmartStopSet has the right to investigate any violation of these Terms, unilaterally determine whether you have violated these Terms, and take actions under relevant laws and regulations without your consent or prior notice.

Upon payment of all outstanding charges and liabilities owed to SmartStopSet (if any), User will have ten (10) business days to withdraw the Digital Assets from the Account. In case that the Account termination is due to fraud, violation of the law, money laundering, terrorist financing or a breach of these terms, we reserve the right to maintain full custody of the Digital Assets which may be seized by government or enforcement authorities.

8.7. Relationship of the Parties .

10. RISK DISCLOSURES

Trading Digital Assets and/or Digital Asset Derivatives is risky and you should never trade more than you can afford to lose. The following list of risks associated with Digital Assets, and Digital Asset Derivatives, and the Services is not exhaustive. Please read the Risk Warning for further information.

a) Digital Asset prices are highly volatile and trading in Digital Assets is extremely risky. In addition, several factors may affect market liquidity for a particular Digital Asset, such as regulatory activity, market manipulation, the acts or omissions of the issuer of the Digital Asset, or unexplainable price volatility. By using the Services, you accept the risk of trading Digital Assets, and Digital Asset Derivatives. In entering into any transaction, you represent that you have been, are, and will be solely responsible for making your own independent appraisal of the risks of the transaction and the underlying Digital Asset.
b) We do not advise on the merits of any particular Digital Assets, Digital Asset Derivatives, Copy Traders, Signal Providers and/or Digital Asset Exchanges. We do not advise on transactions, or associated risks, or provide any other financial, investment or legal advice in connection with the Services. To the extent that we do provide trading data, post market commentary, articles, or make social media posts, the act of doing so is incidental to your relationship with us and such information may not be considered as investment or financial advice and should not be construed as such. BUYING OR SELLING DIGITAL ASSETS AND/OR DIGITAL ASSET DERIVATIVES IS SOLELY THE USER’S DECISION AND WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENT LOSS.
c) The availability of a Copy Trader or a Signal Provider via the Services does not indicate our approval or disapproval of their merits. We give no warranty as to the suitability or reliability of the Copy Trader or Signal Providers, and we owe no fiduciary duty in our relations with you. You must conduct your own due diligence.
d) No brokerage of transactions or provision of investment advice. We provide a software and platform for connecting Users to Copy Traders, Signal Providers, Digital Asset Exchanges. Although we may have a certain degree of control over your Exchange Sub-Accounts maintained under our Exchange Master Account, and that your trades executed under the Exchange Sub-Accounts are booked in your segregated account of the Exchange Master Account , we do not broker transactions on your behalf. Our Relationship does not constitute a Broker-Client Relationship. We do not act as a principal, counterparty, or market-maker in the transactions effected through trading using the Services or in providing financing for financed trading on the Trading Terminal.
e) Users choosing to configure any number or type of trading signals made available by Signal Providers do so with the understanding that SmartStopSet may not be held responsible for any delayed, failed, or incorrectly transmitted notification. A trading signal may not successfully reach the user for any number of reasons, such as the failure of servers. Even without such failure or delay of an alert, the validity and usefulness of the information represented in a successfully transmitted alert of a trading signal may be diminished due to market volatility, incorrect pricing or other information sourced from a Digital Asset Exchange, or other unforeseen technical issues or market conditions. In particular, a Digital Asset or Digital Asset Derivative may be temporarily or permanently delisted from a Digital Asset Exchange without notice, or support for certain Digital Assets, Digital Asset Derivatives and/or Digital Asset Exchanges may become unavailable, in which case related trading signals may have diminished utility.
f) SmartStopSet expressly states to the User that it does not guarantee profit or the recurrence of rates of return that have been made by the Copy Trader and/or Signal Provider in the past and warns that no positive record of trading strategy implementation ensures the repeat of trading success in the future.
g) The User bears financial responsibility for any losses incurred on the Account as a result of the trading signals of the Signal Providers and/or the trading activities of the Copy Traders.
h) The User accepts full responsibility for any and all financial losses such as direct losses or profit losses resulting from the following risks: i) risk that the Copy Trader and/or Signal Provider does not possess the necessary qualification (if required) or knowledge necessary to carry out trading activities; ii) risk that the Copy Trader and/or Signal Provider may carry out fraudulent operations using the Services functionality; iii) risk that the Copy Trader, Signal Provider may lose control over the Account and third parties may gain access to the Account; iv) risk that the User may misunderstand or misinterpret these Terms; v) risk of the Copy Trader, User, Signal Provider Account closure.
i)We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to any part of the Services, and operation of our Website or Services may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control, including regulatory reasons and issues with various Blockchain networks.
j) SmartStopSet provides the Trading Terminal, an interface that connects users to Digital Asset Exchanges. However, SmartStopSet does not operate a Digital Asset Exchange. We do not administer the underlying trading platforms of the Digital Asset Exchanges for the bids or offers and we do not enforce contracts among parties engaged in financing activities available on those Digital Asset Exchanges through the Trading Terminal. The underlying trading platform of the Trading Terminal is administered and operated by the Digital Asset Exchange. We shall in no event be held liable for any loss or other damages, including but not limited to special, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from the acts of any operator of the Digital Asset Exchange. You are responsible for understanding the Terms and Conditions of the operators of the Digital Asset Exchanges.
k) SmartStopSet does not provide custodial services. Digital Assets maintained in your SmartStopSet account are either maintained in your External Exchange Account and/or your Exchange Sub-Account under the Exchange Master Account from a Digital Asset Exchange. You acknowledge, understand and agree that SmartStopSet shall not be held liable for losses arising from any security issues of the Digital Asset Exchanges or from any actions taken by the Digital Asset Exchanges.
l) Although SmartStopSet uses its best efforts to conduct comprehensive due diligence on the Digital Asset Exchanges available in the Trading Terminal, these Digital Asset Exchanges may be unregulated exchanges and their practices may vary widely, including as to their security, encryption, and liability for losses. Digital Asset Exchanges may not be required to comply with any rules regarding wash trading, insider trading, promoting price discovery, insuring losses, protecting against fraud, ensuring anti-money laundering compliance, and many other salient features. Digital Asset Exchanges may carry on fraudulent operations or fronts for fraudulent schemes and be in a jurisdiction where there is no likelihood of recovery or recompense. Digital Asset Exchanges could provide incorrect, delayed, or otherwise flawed data for a variety of reasons, including as a result of software bugs and the aforementioned limited oversight on markets for cryptocurrencies. Such poor data could misinform the User trading strategies or engender inaccurate price discovery mechanisms. Errors, fraud, and other issues with Digital Asset Exchanges have resulted in extensive, irretrievable losses on multiple occasions in the recent past. The underlying software and mechanisms for the Digital Asset Exchanges could malfunction, executing trades for the Users at faulty prices and adversely affecting the Users’ investments. Digital Asset Exchanges could choose to roll back trades to the benefit of other parties but to the detriment of the Users. In general, errors and unreviewable decisions by the exchanges could adversely impact the value of the investment of the Users.

11. LIQUIDATION OF ACCOUNTS AND PAYMENT OF DEFICIT BALANCES

In the event of:

a) the death or judicial declaration of incompetence of the User;
b) the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, or a petition for the appointment of a receiver, or the institution of any insolvency or similar proceeding by or against User;
c) User’s failure to provide us with any information requested pursuant to these Terms or any applicable law; or
d) any abuse of trading practices, manipulations and/or fraud by User or any other person authorized to use the account; or
e) any other circumstances or developments that we deem appropriate for its protection, and in SmartStopSet’s sole discretion,

SmartStopSet reserves the right to satisfy any obligation User may have, either directly or by way of guaranty of suretyship, out of any of User’s funds held in the Exchange Sub-Account. This action may be taken without prior notice of sale or purchase or other notice to User, User’s personal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, legatees or assigns and regardless of whether the ownership interest shall be solely User’s or held jointly with others.

12. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify and hold SmartStopSet, its subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, agents, successors and assigns (” SmartStopSet Entities” ) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by any of SmartStopSet Entities arising out of User’s failure to fully and timely perform User’s obligations herein or under any Third Party License or should any of User’s representations and warranties fail to be true and correct. You also agree to pay SmartStopSet Entities promptly all damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred in the enforcement of any of the provisions of these Terms and any other agreements between SmartStopSet and the User. In addition to any limitations of liability specified elsewhere in these Terms, SmartStopSet Entities shall not be held liable and are released from all claims and losses incurred in such regard if the claim or loss was caused or contributed to by:

a) The actions or omission to act on the part of User;
b) Any act or omission by any person obtaining access to User’s account, whether or not User has authorized such access or not;
c) System malfunction, equipment failure (whether User’s equipment or SmartStopSet’s equipment), system interruption or system unavailability;
d) Delays, failure or errors in implementing any instruction;
e) Inaccurate or incomplete instructions received by SmartStopSet’s from User, or
f) Any reliance or use by User or any other third party with access to User’s account of any financial and market data, quotes, news, analyst opinions, research reports, graphs or any other data or information whatsoever available through the trading platform or any Third Party License, whether to complete a transaction on the trading platform or for any other purpose whatsoever.

SmartStopSet Entities reserve the right to exercise sole control over the defense, at your expense, of any claim subject to indemnification under this section.

13. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES / LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

13.1 SmartStopSet Entities shall not be responsible for any loss or damage caused, directly or indirectly, by any events, actions or omissions beyond the control of SmartStopSet including, without limitation, loss or damage resulting, directly or indirectly, from any delays or inaccuracies in the transmission of orders and/or information due to breakdown or failure of transmission or communication facilities, or electrical power outage.

13.4. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT WILL SmartStopSet ENTITIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, SUPPLIERS OR CONTRACTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF DATA, INFORMATION, REVENUE, PROFITS OR OTHER BUSINESSES OR FINANCIAL BENEFITS) ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES, ANY PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES, OR ANY OTHER PRODUCT, SERVICE OR OTHER ITEM PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SmartStopSet ENTITIES WHETHER UNDER CONTRACT, STATUTE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY EVEN IF THE SmartStopSet ENTITIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF A FINAL JUDICIAL DETERMINATION THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE A RESULT OF SmartStopSet ENTITIES GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR INTENTIONAL VIOLATION OF LAW.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LIABILITY OF SmartStopSet ENTITIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, SUPPLIERS OR CONTRACTORS ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES OFFERED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SmartStopSet ENTITIES, ANY PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES, OR ANY OTHER PRODUCT, SERVICE OR OTHER ITEM, WHETHER UNDER CONTRACT, STATUTE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY, EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE FEES PAID BY YOU TO SmartStopSet ENTITIES UNDER THESE TERMS IN THE TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM FOR LIABILITY.

IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICES OR WITH THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICES AND CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

14. NO WAIVER

From time to time, SmartStopSet may fail to require or strictly enforce compliance with relation to any provision in these Terms. SmartStopSet may also fail to exercise any or all of its rights empowered herein. Any such failure shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of SmartStopSet’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or in any other instance. If applicable, an express waiver given by SmartStopSet of any condition, provision, or requirement of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such condition, provision or requirement.

15. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

These Terms, and any terms announced on the Website are governed and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
