You are not entitled to: (i) open more than one BitSimple Account; (ii) open a new BitSimple Account if we have previously suspended, limited or terminated your BitSimple Account. When you ask BitSimple to open your BitSimple Account, you shall provide BitSimple with all the information and/or documents, as may be requested by BitSimple or any third party acting on its behalf, so BitSimple can verify your identity and validate your funding sources and transactions. BitSimple or any third party acting on its behalf may additionally verify the information and/or documents provided by you from secure databases, to which you grant your explicit consent by entering into this Agreement. You hereby authorize BitSimple to undertake any electronic identity verification checks on you directly or through third parties, either at the time of entering into this Agreement or at any time thereafter. We can refuse to open your BitSimple Account and grant you access to the BitSimple Services or any of them. You hereby represent and warrant that all the information you provide BitSimple with is complete, accurate and up-to-date at all times. If there are any changes in this information, you shall notify BitSimple and send BitSimple accurate information without any delay. If at any point BitSimple needs to verify that the information it has about you is complete, accurate and up-to-date, BitSimple will contact you and request that you either provide more information or that you go through the verification process all over again. If you do not complete all the necessary steps, or if you fail to provide BitSimple with up-to-date information, BitSimple will not be able to provide you with the BitSimple Account Services and will not be responsible for any losses you incur as a result thereof. You hereby undertake to оbtain all necessary hardware, as well as to install all necessary software, including security and antivirus, for your use of the BitSimple Account Services in accordance with these General Terms. You are solely responsible for keeping your device safe and maintaining adequate security and control of your username, password and shall be solely responsible for any access to and use of the BitSimple Account Services through your device, regardless of whether such access may have been made without your knowledge, authority or consent. We will not be liable to you for any loss or damage resulting from such use. In case your device has been lost or stolen or has been accessed or used in an unauthorized manner, you shall notify BitSimple of this and if the device has been accessed or used in an unauthorized manner, you shall, as soon as possible, reset the password.
  3. WITHDRAWAL Subject to the specific terms of the BitSimple General Terms and Conditions or the BitSimple Earn Interest Product General Terms and Conditions, if any, you may request for: (i) withdrawal of all or part of the Digital Assets, together with the Interest accrued thereon, the latter as applicable to the BitSimple Earn Interest Product only, as well as those to which certain prohibitions or limitations apply, as indicated in the BitSimple Account and on the BitSimple Platform; (ii) withdrawal of the fiat equivalence of certain Digital Assets together with the Interest accrued thereon, as applicable to the BitSimple Earn Interest Product, or the fiat equivalence of the Digital Assets, as applicable to the BitSimple Crypto Credit, by instructing BitSimple to sell the relevant Digital Assets and Interest, as the case may be and if applicable, and transfer the fiat proceeds of the sale transaction to a bank account designated by you. All fees and charges for the bank transfer under Art. VI.1., if any, shall be at your expense. The sale transactions are irreversible and final once you have provided the relevant instructions to BitSimple, and you cannot change, withdraw or cancel the authorization to BitSimple to complete any pending or partially completed transactions. BitSimple shall not be liable for any partially completed transactions or delays in the processing of your instructions. We do not guarantee the availability of any exchange rate, except for the cases of EURx/GBPx/USDx which is 1-to-1 pegged to EUR/GBP/USD at all times. However, BitSimple always devotes significant efforts to find and use the best exchange rate for the purpose of the above so that your interests can be fully protected. The withdrawals within the limits specified on the BitSimple Platform, which are subject to revision from time to time at our sole and absolute discretion, shall be processed by BitSimple no later than 24 (twenty-four) hours as of receipt of your request. In case of withdrawals exceeding the above limits, in order to guarantee the safety of the Digital Assets and Interest, if applicable, in your BitSimple Account, as well as of delays due to technical reasons, the processing may take a longer period of time. However, BitSimple devotes significant efforts to ensure that any withdrawal falling within the hypotheses under the preceding sentence will be processed no later than 72 (seventy-two) hours as of your request.
  4. DIGITAL ASSETS TRANSFERS You may transfer any Digital Asset from your BitSimple Account to a specified BitSimple account of a third party. We will process all Digital Asset Transfers according to your instructions and do not guarantee the identity of any recipient. You shall verify all transaction information prior to submitting instructions for a Digital Asset Transfer to BitSimple. In the event of an error, the Digital Asset Transfer can be cancelled or reversed by sending a support request to BitSimple. You shall have sufficient Digital Assets in your BitSimple Account prior to instructing BitSimple to effect any Digital Asset Transfer. In case of insufficiency of the relevant Digital Assets in your BitSimple Account, the Digital Asset Transfer will be rejected by BitSimple. By instructing BitSimple to effect the Digital Asset Transfer, you authorize BitSimple to debit your BitSimple Account for the full amount of the Digital Assets needed to complete the Digital Asset Transfer. We have no control over, or liability for, the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services that you may purchase or sell to or from a third party. We are not responsible for ensuring that a third-party buyer or a seller you transact with will complete the transaction or is authorized to do so. If you experience a problem with any goods or services purchased from or sold to a third party, using Digital Assets transferred from your BitSimple Account, or if you have a dispute with such a third party, you shall resolve the dispute directly with that third party.
  5. RISK DISCLOSURE Digital Assets are more volatile relative to most fiat currencies and other assets and this unpredictability of their price may result in significant loss over a short period of time. We are not responsible for the Digital Assets market, and we make no representations or warranties concerning the real or perceived value of any Digital Assets, and the quality, suitability, truth, usefulness, accuracy, or completeness of any data provided by BitSimple. You shall therefore carefully consider whether holding Digital Assets is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. Digital Assets are not money or legal tender, are not backed by the government or by a central bank and mostly do not have any underlying assets, revenue stream, or another source of value. The regulatory status of Digital Assets is currently unsettled, varies among jurisdictions and is subject to significant uncertainty. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions relating to the Digital Assets or blockchain technology at a state or international level may adversely affect or restrict, as applicable, the use, transfer, exchange and value of the Digital Assets, as well as the provision of the BitSimple Account Services or any of them. The value of the Digital Assets may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currencies for Digital Assets, which may result in permanent and total loss of value of a particular Digital Asset should the market for it disappear. Also, some Digital Assets transactions are deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not always the date or time that you initiated the transaction. Digital Assets ownership is often determined by a decentralized public ledger and usually cannot be cancelled or reversed. The nature of Digital Assets may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyberattacks and any losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions will likely not be recoverable. Keep in mind that we do not provide investment advice and the information coming from BitSimple shall not be used as a basis for making decisions about investing in a particular Digital Asset. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER THE USE OF ANY OF THE BITSIMPLE ACCOUNT SERVICES IS LEGAL IN YOUR JURISDICTION AND YOU SHALL NOT USE THESE BITSIMPLE ACCOUNT SERVICES SHOULD SUCH USE BE ILLEGAL IN YOUR JURISDICTION. IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN, PLEASE SEEK INDEPENDENT LEGAL ADVICE. You understand and agree that you use the BitSimple Account and the BitSimple Services at your own risk. This section is not exhaustive and does not disclose all the risks associated with the Digital Assets and the use of the BitSimple Services. You shall, therefore, carefully consider whether such use is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources.
  6. BITSIMPLE REFERRAL PROGRAM The BitSimple Referral Program is applicable to all Clients referring new Clients, who have not previously opened BitSimple Accounts, to BitSimple (“Referred Clients”), subject to the terms and conditions stipulated herein, governing the relevant BitSimple Wallet Service (if and to the extent applicable), as well as on the BitSimple Platform.

The participation in the BitSimple Referral Program is non-transferable and cannot be sold, gifted or awarded to any person other than you. BitSimple reserves its right to amend or supplement the terms and conditions of the BitSimple Referral Program, as indicated herein and on the BitSimple Platform, at any time, at its sole and absolute discretion. Any such amendments or supplements shall become valid and in full force as of the date of their publishing on the BitSimple Platform unless otherwise indicated.

BitSimple reserves the right to, at its sole and absolute discretion, refuse to process or to cancel any request from you in regard to the BitSimple Account Services, including for purposes of compliance with any Applicable Law. The topping-up of Digital Assets into your BitSimple Account may be subject to certain limits imposed by BitSimple (as may be amended from time to time at BitSimple sole and absolute discretion). BitSimple may, at any time and without liability, terminate, suspend, limit or reverse your use, or the functionality, of the BitSimple Account Services, or your access to your BitSimple Account (including freezing or closing your BitSimple Account, refusing to process any instruction of yours, or reversing a performed action), including but not limited to: (a) in the event of any breach by you of these General Terms and any other applicable terms, or any Applicable Law; (b) for the purposes of complying with a regulator’s demand, a court order, an act of any governmental authority, or any Applicable Law; (c) upon BitSimple’s suspicion that a transaction or your use of the BitSimple Account Services may be erroneous or connected with any unlawful activities (such as money laundering, terrorist financing, as well as fraudulent activities), or that your BitSimple Account has been compromised; (d) your BitSimple Account is subject to any legal proceedings; (e) to remedy the effects of any defect in or compromise to any information system related to the provision of the BitSimple Account Services; (f) for compliance and monitoring reasons, including in case of a discrepancy between your spending profile and the type of consumer group you belong to; (g) for maintenance of the system; or (h) if there is a change in the eligibility criteria for opening of a BitSimple Account or use of the BitSimple Account Services. In the above cases the Digital Assets in your BitSimple Account may be frozen for an indefinite period of time until the matter is resolved. BitSimple may, at any time and without liability: (a) update or change any features, components or content of the BitSimple Account Services. We do not guarantee that any such specific content, component or feature will always be available to you; or (b) suspend, terminate, cancel or change any incentive program and/or any pay-out in regard thereto. If we decide to undertake any of the actions under Art. XIII.3 and XIII.4, we will provide you with adequate notice of this unless it is impractical, impossible or illegal to do so. Reversals are possible once the reasons for the relevant suspension or limitation no longer exist. In this case, we will not be under any obligation to execute any suspended, reversed or terminated transactions at a specific price or under specific terms. Your obligations under these General Terms will continue in the event of any limitation, suspension, reversal or termination under Art. XIII.3 and XIII.4 and you will not be released from any liability having arisen prior to such. BitSimple shall not owe you any payment, compensation or damages in relation to any suspension, limitation, reversal or termination of your use of the BitSimple Account Services, regardless of the reason therefor. Our rights for suspension, limitation, reversal and termination under this Section XIII shall be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that we may have (whether under these General Terms, Applicable Law or otherwise). You may suspend or terminate your access to and use of any of the BitSimple Account Services or close your BitSimple Account. In order to do so, you shall submit a request to BitSimple in a form and together with the relevant supporting documents and information, as may be required by BitSimple. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you will be subject to such terms and conditions as we may consider applicable to such suspension, termination or closure, in particular all your debts to BitSimple shall have been settled prior thereto. If you have a remaining balance in your BitSimple Account, which has been suspended or closed, you are entitled to recover such Digital Assets unless we are prohibited by any Applicable Law or a court order to release them, or where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such Digital Assets have been obtained through any unlawful means.
