  24. we shall deliver the Digital Currency you Purchase to the personal digital Wallet Address that you provide to us with respect to each of your Purchase orders (“Your Wallet Address”) and which you will be asked to confirm with respect to each such Purchase order (“Wallet Confirmation Request”). Wallet Confirmation Requests may be issued, without limitation, through email or other electronic means;
  25. in the event that you do not confirm Your Wallet Address within 4 (four) days of our sending such Wallet Confirmation Request to you, we may, at our sole discretion, either (i) send you the relevant Digital Currency to Your Wallet Address that you provided to us upon initiating the applicable order (irrespective of its confirmation by you), or (ii) cancel the applicable Purchase order and refund you the relevant Fiat Money;
  26. once we send you Digital Currency to Your Wallet Address, we will be unable to retrieve that Digital Currency from that Wallet Address;
  27. the Digital Currency on Sale orders shall be delivered by you to the specific Wallet Address that we provide to you with respect to each of your Sale orders.
  1. No Liability for Errors.  You acknowledge that the Company will not be liable for any error with respect to the instructions you provide, including without limitation erroneous Wallet Address and/or Bank Account information.
  2. No Guarantee of Value or Liquidity.  You understand and accept the risks involved in buying and selling Digital Currency, and specifically your Purchase and Sale of Digital Currency, including the fact that the Company cannot guarantee that any Digital Currency will have, at any time in the future, certain value (if any) or market liquidity. There is no guarantee that you will be able to sell the Digital Currency to any third party at a later time, and in no event will the Company be obligated to purchase from you any Digital Currency, whether bought from the Company or otherwise. (See also Section 16, “Risks“).
  3. Price of Digital Currency and the Execution of Your Order
  4. The rate for Purchase and Sale of Digital Currency, as applicable, shall be determined in accordance with the price as displayed on the Site (the “Price”). The Price is comprised of the Digital Currency market rate and our commission fee; additional fees may apply on top of the Price. Changes to any applicable fees may be made at any time in our sole discretion; it is your obligation to verify applicable fees prior to engaging in any order or transaction; an updated list of applicable fees shall be displayed.
  5. Notwithstanding the above, you hereby understand and agree that the Price displayed on the Site for Purchase or Sale of the Digital Currency is accurate for the thirty (30) minutes immediately following the initial step in the placement of an order (the “Preliminary Price”), and the Preliminary Price which appears on the Site upon your order may not be the final price or rate of your transaction. This is due to the highly volatile nature of the price of Digital Currency and the period of time that may be required for completing the transaction, as further detailed below.
  6. The Final Price of the transaction:
  7. The final price of your transaction (the “FinalPrice”) will be the Price that appears on the Site upon: (i) the processing of a credit/debit card Fiat Money payment in a Purchase order, provided that you successfully submit the payment within the thirty (30) minutes immediately following the initial step in your placement of this order (after which, the order permanently expires and cannot be fulfilled); (ii) our receipt of confirmation of payment from our bank, with respect to a Fiat Money payment made by you via bank wire transfer in a Purchase order; and (iii) the actual crediting of a Company Wallet Address designated by us for your Sale order, with respect to the Digital Currency credited by you to us in that Sale, provided that the crediting was completed within the thirty (30) minutes immediately following the initial step in your placement of this order (after which, the order permanently expires and cannot be fulfilled).
  8. The above notwithstanding, you acknowledge that our performance of additional KYC and/or security validations (e.g. validating the order details with you) may extend beyond the times specified in Section ‎4.2.3.1 above; in which case, the Final Price shall be the Price applicable upon the completion of our additional KYC and/or security validations.
  9. You understand and agree that the Final Price may be either higher or lower than any other rate or price which was previously available on the Site, in accordance with value fluctuation which may occur, and that this may change either in your favor or in the Company’s and we have no control whatsoever on such change. A Price in Fiat Money for a transaction is locked for thirty (30) minutes when the initial step in the placement of the Purchase/Sale order is logged (the Preliminary Price); once the Preliminary Price has expired, the Final Price will apply to any applicable transaction.
  10. As soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, and subject to the completion of our KYC process and/or other inspections to our satisfaction, we shall execute your order at the Final Price (the “Execution”). Until Execution, any order by you shall be considered as pending and not completed, and shall not be binding on us whatsoever.
  11. Delivery.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the Execution of your order: (i) in the case of your Purchase of Digital Currency from us, the relevant Digital Currency shall be delivered by us to your Wallet Address. While we will attempt to transfer the Digital Currency as soon as we can, please note that the transfer may take some time to be processed; (ii) in the case of your Sale of Digital Currency to us, we shall deliver Fiat Money through a bank wire transfer, credit card, or other third party payment processor, all using the details per applicable payment method you provided during the placement of your Sale order; and (iii) we shall provide you, either on the Site, via email, or otherwise, a transaction confirmation, detailing the Final Price and other particulars about the applicable Purchase, Sale, and the Execution (the “Transaction Confirmation”). 
  12. Any payment by us to you, including refunds of payments initially made by you to us, whether of Fiat Money or Digital Currency, shall be paid after deduction of any applicable fees and/or transaction costs and expenses, including, without limitation, our commission fee.
  13. For the avoidance of doubt, Bitoption Trade has no obligation or responsibility under these Terms of Use to take any action or do anything to collect or arrange for delivery of any Digital Currency or other digital asset that is offered or issued based on existing holdings of Digital Currency, whether characterized as interest, dividend, “airdrop,” or fork (“Accrued Digital Asset”), nor is Bitoption Trade liable to you in any way or responsible to indemnify you for any loss or denial of such Accrued Digital Asset suffered by you as a result of your use of the Services
  14. Cancellation Policy.  You acknowledge that executed transactions are non-cancelable and you cannot change or reverse any transaction – whether completed or pending (including any Purchase order with respect to which you have not yet confirmed Your Wallet Address by attending to the Wallet Confirmation Request connected to that order). The above notwithstanding, the Company, in its sole discretion, without any obligation whatsoever, may endeavor to comply with a request from you to cancel a transaction on your Account. Subject to applicable law and regulation, in the event the Company cancels your Purchase order after having received Fiat Money from you with regards to such order, the Company will refund such funds to you minus any costs or expenses incurred with regards to such refund, including without limitation any bank charges, currency exchange charges and/or payment processing charges. With respect to cancellation of your Sale order after having received Digital Currency from you, the Company will credit you with such Digital Currency minus applicable transaction costs and expenses. The Company will make reasonable efforts to refund canceled transactions in the same currency of Fiat Money as was initially used by you in the payment for your order, however, this is not always feasible. Any return for a canceled transaction shall be in a currency of Fiat Money and at an exchange rate determined in the Company’s sole reasonable discretion.
  15. Unsuccessful Payments. If your payment method is declined, whether due to insufficient funds or deemed unsuccessful for any other reason, you agree that the Company, in its sole discretion, may: (i) cancel any applicable transaction; (ii) fulfil a portion of that transaction; or (iii) debit alternative payment methods provided by you, in the amount necessary to complete a pending transaction. In the event of termination of any transaction, the Company will make reasonable efforts to provide you with notification of such termination. If any fees apply on failed bank-transfer attempts made by the Company to you in the course of executing your Sale order, and such failure is reasonably attributed to an error by you, such fees shall be deducted from either (x) the amount of Fiat Money that is transferred to you if the order is subsequently executed; or (y) the amount of Digital Currency that is returned to you if the order is declined and the Digital Currency is returned.
  16. Ownership of your Wallet Address.  You guarantee to use and provide a Wallet Address owned by you exclusively and which is under your sole and full control, for the purpose of executing any transaction, including: (a) in a Purchase order, a Wallet Address to which we will transfer Digital Currency; (b) in a Sale order, a Wallet address (or Wallet Addresses) from which you will transfer Digital Currency to us and/or a Wallet Address to which we may return Digital Currency.
  17. The Company reserves the right to deny processing any order, or cancel any pending transaction if: (i) required to do so by law, regulation, competent court order, or other competent authority; (ii) the Company considers any such order or transaction to be in conflict with our Risk Management Policy, or as violating any provision of these Terms of Use, or applicable law or regulation; (iii) it exceeds any limit which may apply to the number or volume of transactions in any given period, in accordance with Company’s policies, as may be amended from time to time, or any other applicable laws and regulations; or (iv) such transaction places the Company’s operation, good name, or reputation at risk. In addition, we may contact you to obtain additional files or submissions, obtain proof of current location, or other relevant information in attempts to avoid declining a transaction, although we are not required to do so under any circumstances.  Your compliance with any information request in connection with any transaction does not guarantee or require that such transaction will be executed; execution of any transaction shall be at our sole and exclusive discretion.  Whenever we decline a Sale transaction for any reason, we will transfer the Digital Currency that we received from you back to you in accordance with your instructions; in order to provide such returns, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, we will request that you provide a Wallet Address to which we will transfer the Digital Currency. However, we reserve the right to decline transfers to such Wallet Address and require you to provide an alternative Wallet Address at our sole reasonable discretion. If you neglect or refuse to provide a Wallet Address that is acceptable to us, as determined in our sole reasonable discretion, we may take any additional actions available to us under these Terms of Use or other applicable laws and regulations with respect to such transaction.

  1. Risks
  2. The trading of goods and products, real or virtual, as well as virtual (digital) currencies, involves significant risks. Prices can fluctuate on any given day. Due to such price fluctuations, you may increase or lose value in your assets at any given moment. Any currency, virtual or not, may be subject to large or sudden shifts in value and may even become worthless. There is an inherent risk that losses will occur as a result of buying, selling or trading anything on a market. You should be aware that the risk of loss in trading or holding Digital Currencies can be substantial.
  3. Digital Currency trading also has special risks not generally shared with official currencies or goods or commodities in a market. Unlike most currencies, which are backed by governments or other legal entities, or by commodities such as gold or silver, Digital Currency is a unique kind of currency, backed by technology and trust. There is no central bank or government regulator that can take corrective measures to protect the value of the Digital Currency in a crisis, issue more currency, or balance the price fluctuations.
  4. Instead, Digital Currency is an autonomous and largely unregulated worldwide system of currency firms and individuals. Traders and market participants put their trust in a digital, decentralized and partially anonymous system that relies on peer-to-peer networking and cryptography to maintain its integrity. Thus, the value of Digital Currency may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange Fiat Currency for Digital Currency, which may result in the potential for the permanent and total loss of value of a particular Digital Currency should the market for that Digital Currency disappear.
  5. Digital Currency trading may be susceptible to irrational (or rational) bubbles or loss of confidence, which could collapse relative to demand and supply. For example, confidence in Digital Currency might collapse as a result of unexpected changes imposed by software developers or others, a government crackdown, the creation of superior competing alternative currencies, or a deflationary or inflationary spiral. Confidence might also collapse because of technical problems, for example, if the anonymity of the system is compromised, if money is lost or stolen, or if hackers or governments are able to prevent transactions from settling.
  6. Transactions in the Digital Currency may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable.
  7. Due to the nature of Digital Currency, any technological difficulties experienced by the Company could prevent the access or use of a Member’s Digital Currency.
  8. The abovementioned is not a closed list, there may be additional risks that we have not foreseen or identified in our Terms of Use. You should carefully assess whether your financial standing and tolerance for risk are suitable for buying, selling or trading Digital Currency.
  9. The Company uses banking providers in order to receive your funds and to make payments. Our banking providers do not transfer Digital Currency, exchange Digital Currency, or provide any services in connection with Digital Currency.
  10. Markets for Digital Currency have varying degrees of liquidity. Some are quite liquid while others may be thinner or illiquid. The Company does not guarantee any profit from trading or any other activity associated with the site.
  11. IN LIGHT OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED RISKS, WHICH ARE NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER IF HOLDING DIGITAL CURRENCY IS SUITABLE FOR YOU DEPENDING ON YOUR FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
