服务条款
(2023年5月15日更新生效)
数字资产交易存在高度风险。数字资产市场是一个新型和未被检验的市场,且可能由于各种因素经历频繁的价格波动,包括但不仅限于以下因素:(I)与投机者的相对较高使用量相比,数字资产在零售和商业市场的使用量较低,且(II)不能保证那些接受数字资产支付方式的个人或机构在将来仍持接受态度。上述价格波动可能会对投资产生不利影响。因此在使用AscendEX之前,请评估投资的回报与风险,并且确保能够承担短时间内损失全部投资的经济风险。AscendEX平台上的任何材料均不得视为AscendEX的出售意向或AscendEX对数字资产购买意向的征集招募。
AscendEX是一家由罗马尼亚 AscendEX Technology S.R.L.(以下称“本公司”) 运营和专有的数字资产交易所。通过访问网站(https://ascendex.com/)(“网站”)、或通过移动设备、API或其他我司提供的渠道访问平台、注册AscendEX和/或开设账户或使用AscendEX(包括下文定义的平台服务或任何其他AscendEX服务),您同意接受您与我司条款和条件的约束,包括AscendEX可能不时发布的任何更新(“服务条款”)。您承认和同意,您有义务定期查阅《服务条款》并且获悉最新修订内容(如有更新)。请仔细阅读《服务条款》,并且,如果您不同意任何服务条款,请勿访问、进入或使用AscendEX,注册AscendEX或开设AscendEX账户。通过以电子方式同意这些条款,您(1)表明您已阅读并理解这些条款,并同意接受这些条款的法律约束,及(2)声明并保证您有权代表自己或任何您所代表的任何实体或个人行事。请注意,本文件中包含特定司法管辖区的特殊条款,可能会对您适用。《服务条款》中使用的“我司”、“我们”或“我方的”等词语均指本公司及其任何或所有的关联方。

使用AscendEX的所有服务须受您在某一特定时间段内(例如每天)可以交易或转让的、以法定货币和/或数字资产计算的总计金额的限制。您的交易限额根据您完成的验证步骤或我司规定的其他条件而有所不同。我司保留根据我司自行判断调整我司认为有必要的限额。如果您想在公布金额上提高额度,您可以将请求发送至 support@ascendex.com 。我司可能要求您提交有关您或您业务的额外信息,提供有关记录和参加与我司员工的会议(该程序被称为“升级尽调”)。我司保留向您收取与升级尽调有关的成本和费用。根据我司自行判断,我司有权拒绝提高您的额度,或者,即使您已经完成升级尽调,我司可以在将来改变以及降低您的额度。
4.9 交易费用表
AscendEX的交易费用表(“交易费用表”)将不时更新并公布在AscendEX平台上。您接受本平台的《服务条款》被视为接受该《交易费用表》。AscendEX保留在任何时候改变、修改和/或增加平台交易费用的权利。《交易费用表》修改之后,一旦公布,立即生效。您知晓并同意,在《交易费用表》发生变化之后登录您的账户和/或使用AscendEX即表示您同意接受最新版的《交易费用表》。您同意支付与您使用AscendEX相关的所有费用(包括交易费用)。在用户账户连续12个月未进行任何交易活动的情况下,将收取休眠账户费用,金额为10美元。如果用户账户的余额小于休眠账户费用,AscendEX会将该费用减少至剩余账户余额的金额,直至余额变为0美元。休眠账户费用不会导致账户余额为负。对连续12个月休眠后再重新进行交易活动的账户,将不再收取休眠账户费用,直至账户再次休眠为止。
4.10 转让费用表
AscendEX的数字资产转让费用表(“转让费用表”)将不时公布在AscendEX平台上。您接受《服务条款》被视为您接受我司的《转让费用表》。我司保留在任何时候改变、修改或增加我司转让费用的权利。《转让费用表》修改之后,一旦公布,立即生效。您同意,通过在《转让费用表》发生变化之后登录您的账户和/或使用AscendEX,您同意我司修订版的《转让费用表》。您同意支付因您对AscendEX的使用导致的或与之相关的所有费用(包括转让费用)。
4.11明显错误交易政策
在执行之时,当价格明显与现行市场价格(基于来自https://coinmarketcap.com/ 或其他此类网站的信息)存在重大不一致时,我司认定该交易为明显错误或明显有误交易(“明显错误交易”)。在做出判定之时,我司将考虑交易之时的状况、保持市场健全以及维护公平、有序市场的重要性。您须确保相关价格和、订单类型已经输入AscendEX。您仅仅宣称在输入订单时出现错误或您未能注意或更新订单,这都不足以构成一项明显错误交易。
您同意和理解,如果我司判定某项交易为一项明显错误交易,我司可能会宣告其全部或部分为非法和无效的,即使您和/或其他方不同意取消或修订该交易。在判定某项交易是否属于一项明显错误交易时,我司考虑(但不仅限于):(i)可疑的交易活动(由我司判断);(ii)对我司《市场行为准则》的违反;(iii)交易条款的明显错误,包括但不仅限于数字资产的价格和金额或交易的其他指标;(iv)平台、AscendEX、AscendEX服务提供商或数字资产网络(“数字资产网络”)的任何交易系统或部件的运行出现中断或故障;或(v)如果出现特殊的市场状况或其他情形,有必要取消或修订交易以便维护一个公平和有序的市场。

任何因《服务条款》导致的或与之相关的争议,对您而言具有人身属性,且只能通过单独的仲裁予以解决,并且在任何情况下均不得以集团仲裁、集团诉讼或其他类型的代表程序予以提起。不得提起集团仲裁或其他试图以另外一位或一群人士的代表身份解决争议的仲裁。而且,任何争议均不得以集团或其他类型的代表诉讼(无论是否属于仲裁范围之内)的方式,或代表任何其他一位或一群人士的方式予以提出。

仲裁员不具有开展集团仲裁或代表/集团诉讼的权限,本《服务条款》禁止授予此种权限。仲裁员只能开展单独的仲裁,且不得将多于一人的请求合并审理,不得审理任何类型的集团或代表程序,也不得审理多于一人的任何程序。
如果本条的任何条款、规定、要求被判定为无效或不可执行,那么判定的无效和不可执行部分应当在法律适用和规定的最小范围之内,且本条所有其他的条款、规定和要求继续有效和可执行。并且,除非被法律所禁止,本条载明的弃权声明与《服务条款》中的其他条款属于可分割,且将继续有效和可执行。
您同意,《服务条款》下的本条规定,旨在以一种快速且成本较小的方式,解决与本《服务条款》载明的事项有关的争议,并且就上述事项导致的任何争议而言,本条可以作为驳回您因此提出的法庭诉讼的理由。

TERMS OF SERVICE
(updated and effective May 15, 2023)
DIGITAL ASSET TRADING INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. THE DIGITAL ASSET MARKET IS NEW AND UNPROVEN AND MAY EXPERIENCE FREQUENT PRICE VOLATILITY DUE TO A VARIETY OF FACTORS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION (I) THE INSIGNIFICANT USE OF DIGITAL ASSETS IN THE RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL MARKETPLACE IN COMPARISON TO RELATIVELY SIGNIFICANT USE BY SPECULATORS AND (II) THE LACK OF ASSURANCE THAT A PERSON OR INSTITUTION WHO ACCEPTS DIGITAL ASSETS AS PAYMENT TODAY WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO IN THE FUTURE. SUCH PRICE VOLATILITY MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT AN INVESTMENT IN DIGITAL ASSETS; THEREFORE, PRIOR TO USING ASCENDEX, PLEASE EVALUATE THE MERITS AND RISKS OF THE INVESTMENT AND ENSURE ABILITY TO BEAR THE ECONOMIC RISK OF LOSING YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. NOTHING ON THE ASCENDEX WEBSITE OR PLATFORM SHOULD BE CONSTRUED AS AN OFFER BY ASCENDEX TO SELL OR SOLICITATION BY ASCENDEX OF ANY OFFER TO BUY DIGITAL ASSETS.
AscendEX is a digital asset trading platform operated by and proprietary to AscendEX Technology S.R.L. (the Company), a Romania company. By accessing the AscendEX websites at https://ascendex.com/ or https://www.asdexcn.co/ (the "Website"), accessing the AscendEX platform through mobile devices, API or other connectivity channels offered by the Company, signing up to AscendEX and/or opening an account or using AscendEX (including its Platform service, as defined below, or any other AscendEX service), you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions between you and the Company, including any revisions from time to time as may be published by AscendEX ("Terms"). You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically and become aware of any modifications thereto (if any) that may be made by the Company from time to time. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY and please do not visit, access, or use AscendEX, or sign up or open an account with
AscendEX if you disagree with any of these Terms. By electronically assenting to these Terms, you (a) are indicating that you have read and understand these Terms, and agree to be legally bound by such Terms and (b) represent and warrant that you have the authority to act on behalf of yourself and any entity or individual you represent. Please also note that there may be specific terms or conditions applicable to you as a user in a given jurisdiction, as detailed herein. Use of the words "we," "us," or "our" in these Terms refers to the Company and any or all of its affiliates.
1. SERVICES
1.1 AscendEX (ASD)
The Company operates a digital asset trading platform (“Platform”) that facilitates the buying and selling of Digital Assets (as defined herein) by the Platform user (“User”) and other ancillary services, including but not limited to, cash /spot trading, leveraged trading, Staking Services, and Copy Trading Service subscriptions. You may use your AscendEX account to place orders (each, an "Order") to buy, hold and/or sell Digital Assets. When our Platform's matching engines match Orders, a trade (each, a "Trade") occurs. Unmatched orders rest on the Platform’s order book (each, an "Order Book"). Each Trade (i) transfers ownership of Digital Assets between Users, (ii) is recorded on our internal ledger ("Exchange Ledger"), and (iii) is reflected through records held by us in each User's Digital Asset Account (which shall be final and conclusive except in the unforeseeable events such as malicious attacks and/or system-related issues where the Company needs to review all the
records and ascertain the actions required). All Platform trading activity is "off-chain" and not broadcast to a given blockchain.
1.2 LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT
You acknowledge that these Terms govern your use of AscendEX and the other Platform services we provide and agree to be legally bound by all terms and conditions set forth in the Terms.. By clicking "I AGREE," during the account sign-up and opening process, you acknowledge and agree to be legally bound by the Terms and confirm that you have received the disclosures set forth herein.

You should, therefore, read these Terms from time to time, and understand that your continued acceptance of these Terms (as revised from time to time) is a condition of logging into AscendEX and/or using the Platform services. If you do not agree to be legally bound by these Terms, as amended from time to time, you should not log into your AscendEX account or use the services offered on the Platform. Should you disagree with these Terms (including any changes or amendments), please close your account immediately.

Only individuals or institutions that have successfully completed and submitted all requested documentation in accordance with our Compliance Program may open a AscendEX user account ("AscendEX Account"). You hereby authorise the Company, or a third-party service provider, to take all measures necessary to verify and authenticate your identity, confirm the bank account information you submit (if applicable), and to take any action we deem necessary based on the results.

You agree that you will not allow any other individual or institution to access or use your AscendEX Account.
2.3 ACCOUNT ACCESS
You are only permitted to access your AscendEX Account using your user account login credentials and other required forms of authentication. In order to ensure safety and security of your AscendEX Account, we may require multi-factor authentication when accessing your AscendEX Account and/or performing certain operations in your AscendEX Account. Forms of multi-factor authentication, in addition to your login credentials, may include secret messages delivered to your registered mobile number through short message service ("SMS") or a specified and supported two-factor authentication ("2FA") application. If you choose to install and use a 2FA application on a device (e.g., phone or tablet) on which the operating system has been tampered with in any way, you do so at your own risk. This includes, but is not limited to, a "rooted" (Android) or "jailbroken" (iOS) device. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to prohibit access from or by any device on which the
operating system has been or is suspected of having been modified or tampered.

The Company is not responsible for any unauthorised use of your AscendEX Account.
You are responsible for monitoring your AscendEX Account. If you notice any unauthorised or suspicious activity in your account, please contact support@ascendex.com immediately.
2.4 ACCOUNT HISTORY
A historical record of your transactions on the Platform ("Account History") is available on AscendEX and contains information regarding your trading activity; however, please note that your Account History should not be treated as a valuation of your account. We use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the information contained in your Account History and any notices the Company provides to you are accurate and reliable; however, errors may occur from time to time and such errors do not impact the actual means and results of a given transaction. It is your sole responsibility to review your Account History and any notices. Any transaction listed in your Account History, or other communication including, but not limited to, Order, Trade 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 business days from the date the
transaction was listed or the communication was sent (as the case may be).
2.5 ACCOUNT COMMUNICATION
You understand and agree that all communication with you will be via email. We will use the email address on record for your AscendEX Account as our primary means of communicating with you. To ensure that you receive all of our communications, you agree to keep your email address up-to-date and immediately notify us if there are any changes. Delivery of any communication to the email address on record is considered valid, and will be deemed to have been acknowledged as authorized, correct, approved, and confirmed by you unless we have received written notice to the contrary within three business days from the date the communication was sent. If any email communication is returned as undeliverable, the Company retains the right to block your access to AscendEX until you provide and confirm a new and valid email address.
2.6 ACCOUNT SUSPENSION
You acknowledge and agree that, once an account or Related Account (as herein defined) is opened, the Company has the right, at its sole discretion, to immediately suspend your account and all accounts beneficially owned by you and any members of your household or for which you are a representative or authorised signatory and, in the case of entities, any affiliates (each, a "Related Account" or “Related Party”), freeze/lock the Digital Assets in all such accounts, and/or suspend your access to AscendEX, until a determination has been made, if we suspect any such accounts to be in violation of (i) any Applicable Laws or Regulations, (ii) any provision of these Terms, (iii) our Marketplace Conduct Rules in Section 4.13 herein, or (iv) our Compliance Program (each, a "Breach of Terms").
You further acknowledge and agree that we have the right to immediately suspend your account and any Related Account, freeze/lock the Digital Assets in all such accounts, and/or suspend your access to AscendEX until a determination has been made, if (a) we are required to do so by any regulatory or government authority or court order, (b) the account is, or is related to any account that is, subject to any pending litigation, investigation, or governmental proceeding, (c) the account has a negative balance for any reason, (d) the account has a balance that needs to be reconciled for any reason, (e) we believe someone is attempting to gain unauthorised access to the account, (f) we believe there is unusual activity in the account, (g) we believe you are using AscendEX, your login credentials, or other account information in an unauthorised or inappropriate manner, or (h) the account has not been accessed in two years or more.

You acknowledge and agree that we have the right to immediately investigate your account and any Related Account, if we suspect, in our sole discretion, that any such account may have committed a Breach of Terms.

You further acknowledge and agree that neither you nor any Related Party shall impede or delay any investigation or proceeding conducted pursuant to these Terms, nor refuse to comply with any request made pursuant to these Terms.
Following the conclusion of an investigation, we will make, in our sole discretion, a determination based upon the weight of the evidence. If a suspected Breach of Terms pertains to our Marketplace Conduct Rules (as defined herein), we may consider a variety of factors in assessing whether your conduct has breached our Marketplace Conduct Rules, including without limitation your intent and motives, prevailing market conditions, the effect on other market participants, your historical pattern of activity, and your activity in related markets or exchanges.
You acknowledge and agree that if your account or any Related Account is determined, in our sole discretion, to have committed a Breach of Terms, we have the right to terminate any such accounts and take any and all necessary and appropriate actions pursuant to these Terms and/or Applicable Laws and Regulations.
2.8 ACCOUNT CLOSURE
You may close any of your accounts at any time. For the avoidance of doubt, closing an account will not affect any rights and obligations incurred prior to the date of such account closure. You may be required to either cancel or complete all open orders and, in accordance with the provisions of these Terms, provide transfer instructions of where to transfer any Digital Assets remaining in your account. You are responsible for any fees, costs, expenses, charges, or obligations (including, but not limited to, legal fees or transfer costs of the Digital Assets) associated with the closing of your account. In the event that the costs of closing of your account exceed the value in your account, you will be responsible for reimbursing us. You may not close any of your accounts to avoid paying any fees otherwise due or to avoid any examination related to our Compliance Program.
2.9 CONFIDENTIALITY
You agree that the information contained in your AscendEX Account is confidential and intended only for you and that you will not cause others to rely upon it (save as otherwise prescribed by law) without our prior written consent.
In addition, and for the avoidance of doubt, you agree and understand that we share information concerning you and your accounts as follows: (i) with our third-party service providers that we use or may use to process Digital Assets in connection with the Platform services contemplated by these Terms, in accordance with our ordinary business operations; (ii) with appropriate governmental, state or federal regulatory authorities, and self-regulatory organisations, as we determine, in our sole discretion, is required or otherwise appropriate in connection with our regulatory requirements; and (iii) in response to a court or government order. We may also disclose information about you and your accounts to any AscendEX service provider in accordance with Applicable Laws and Regulations, these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and customary banking practices. Lastly, you agree that we may obtain and use such information as may be necessary for legitimate business needs in connection
with the operation of AscendEX. For more information on what information we collect and how we treat it, please view our Privacy Policy at

You acknowledge and agree that if your account or any Related Account is determined, in our sole discretion, to have committed a Breach of Terms, we have the right to debit from your account or any Related Account (i) the value of any trading fee discounts or rebates that you or the holder of a Related Account has received in connection with these Terms at any time after one year preceding the date on which we become aware of the existence of the Breach of Terms and (ii) any other damages suffered by us as a result of the Breach of Terms.

that User's account, or in each case, any Related Account. We will deduct any such amounts from the respective Digital Asset Account(s). If withdrawing from a Digital Asset Account, we will withdraw sufficient Digital Assets calculated by using the prevailing market price.
2.12 ACCOUNT TERMINATION
You acknowledge and agree that we have the right to terminate any account at any time and for any reason (at our sole discretion).

You acknowledge and agree that we reserve the right to cancel any Order, or remaining portion of any Order, if (i) any such Order was placed and/or active during Stoppages, (ii) any such Order triggers our Marketplace Controls, or (iii) any such Order is materially non-marketable.
You acknowledge and agree that Orders may be subject to, and we shall have no liability for, delays and/or other conditions affecting transmission or execution of Orders over which we have no control, including, but not limited to, system failure, mechanical or electronic failure or market congestion. We are in no way responsible for ensuring the execution of orders at the price indicated in an Order, if there are any such delays or other conditions affecting transmission or execution.
You further acknowledge and agree that we reserve the right to require all Orders to pass automated compliance checks. If your Order is flagged for review by any of these checks or if it meets certain defined criteria, it may require our manual review and approval. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to review such Orders on a timely basis, but we are not liable for any delays. If at any time you are in any doubt about the status of your Order, you can view your Order status on AscendEX. We may cancel any Order flagged for review at our sole discretion. Lastly, we may require you to confirm your Order via telephone or another form of authentication prior to execution.

response to a subpoena, court order, or other government order; (c) if we reasonably suspect that the transaction is erroneous; or (d) if we suspect the transaction relates to prohibited use (as described in these Terms). In such instances, we will reverse the transaction and we are under no obligation to allow you to reinstate an exchange, purchase or sale order at the same price or on the same terms as the cancelled transaction.
4.7 INTERNET TRANSMISSION RISKS
You acknowledge that there are risks associated with utilizing an internet-based trading system such as the Platform, including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware, software, and internet connections or the risk of cyber security incidents.

4.8 TRANSACTION LIMITS
The use of all services on AscendEX is subject to a limit on the amount of trading volume, calculated in fiat currency and/or Digital Assets, you may transact or transfer in a given period (e.g. daily). Your transaction limits may vary depending on the verification steps you have completed, and other factors as may be prescribed by us.

If you wish to raise your limits beyond the posted amounts, you must submit a request at support@ascendex.com .

In our sole discretion, we may refuse to raise your limits, or we may lower your limits at a subsequent time even if you have completed Enhanced Due
Diligence.
4.9 TRADING/ TRANSACTION FEE SCHEDULE
AscendEX's trading fee schedule ("Trading Fee Schedule") will be made available on the AscendEX Platform with update from time to time. Your acceptance of these Terms is considered to be your acceptance of our Trading Fee Schedule. We reserve the right to change, modify, and/or increase our fees with respect to the Trading Fee Schedule at any time. Any change to our Trading Fee Schedule will take effect immediately upon our notification of such change. You acknowledge and agree that by logging into your account and/or using AscendEX following any change to our Trading Fee Schedule, you are agreeing to our revised Trading Fee Schedule. You agree to pay all fees (including trading fees) associated with or incurred by your use of AscendEX. Users who have a dormant account, that is, an account that has not engaged in any trading activity for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months, will incur an inactivity fee of $10. If at any time a User’s account is subject to an
inactivity fee but the account balance is less than the inactivity fee, AscendEX will reduce its fee to the amount of the remaining account balance bringing the balance to $0. No account balance will become negative as a result of the inactivity fee. A User who engages in trading activity after a 12 month dormancy will not be charged an inactivity fee until the account again becomes dormant.
4.10 TRANSFER FEE SCHEDULE
AscendEX's transfer fee schedule ("Transfer Fee Schedule") will be made available on the AscendEX Platform from time to time.

4.11 MANIFESTLY INCORRECT TRANSACTION POLICY
We consider a transaction to be manifestly incorrect or clearly erroneous when its price is substantially inconsistent with the prevailing market price (based on information from https://coinmarketcap.com or such other similar website) at the time of execution ("Manifestly Incorrect Transaction"). In making determination, we take into account the circumstances at the time of the transaction, the preservation of the integrity of the market, and the maintenance of a fair and orderly marketplace. You are responsible for ensuring that the appropriate price and Order type is entered into AscendEX. A simple assertion by you that a mistake was made in entering an Order, or that you failed to pay attention to or update an Order, will not be sufficient to establish it as a Manifestly Incorrect Transaction.
You acknowledge and agree that if we determine a transaction to be a Manifestly Incorrect Transaction, we may declare it null and void, in whole or in part, even if you and/or the other party do not agree to cancel or modify it. In determining whether a transaction is a Manifestly Incorrect Transaction, we may consider (without limitation) (i) suspicious trading activity (as determined by the Company), (ii) violations of our Marketplace Conduct Rules, (iii) any obvious error in any term, including, but not limited to, price, amount of Digital Assets, or other unit of trading, (iv) occurrence of any disruption or malfunction in the operation of any trading system or component of the Platform, AscendEX, a AscendEX Service Provider, or a Digital Asset network ("Digital Asset Network"), or (v) if there was extraordinary market conditions or other circumstances in which the nullification or modification of transactions may be necessary for the maintenance of a fair and orderly
market.
Absent extraordinary circumstances, the Company will decide and take any action pursuant to this Manifestly Incorrect Transaction Policy within one business day of a transaction. In the event an extraordinary circumstance exists, the Company will decide and take any action pursuant to this Manifestly Incorrect Transaction Policy within seven business days of a transaction.
4.12 MARKETPLACE CONTROLS
In an effort to foster a fair and orderly market, we have put in place marketplace controls as we may prescribe from time to time in accordance with our internal policies ("Marketplace Controls"), including without limitation automatic cancellation of any order, or the remaining portion of any order, on a continuous order book that would move the market price substantially (i.e. more than 10%) in either direction as compared to the prior prevailing market price, or prohibitions from crossing with yourself on a continuous order book. Your acceptance of these Terms is considered to be your acceptance of our Marketplace Controls. We reserve the right to change or modify our Marketplace Controls at any time, and any changes will take effect immediately upon our notification of such change. You acknowledge and agree that by logging into your account and/or using AscendEX following any change to our Marketplace Controls, you are agreeing to our revised Marketplace Controls.
4.13 MARKETPLACE CONDUCT RULES
You acknowledge and agree to abide by the marketplace standards of conduct rules ("Marketplace Conduct Rules") enforced by the Company, which are designed to prevent the use of AscendEX for disruptive or manipulative conduct or deceptive practices, including, but not limited to, disruptive trading and price manipulation.

Based upon the severity of the market manipulation, there will be fine of up to two (2) million USDT.
4.13.2 FRAUDULENT ACTS
Neither you nor any Related Party shall engage or attempt to engage in any fraudulent act or engage or attempt to engage in any scheme to defraud, deceive or mislead, in connection with or related to any Order or Trade or any other activity related to AscendEX or the Platform services.

4.13.5 PRE-ARRANGED TRADES
Neither you nor any Related Party shall place any Order on AscendEX which has been pre- arranged (or discussed with another market participant prior to being placed on AscendEX) for the purpose of creating an artificial price, fictitious Trade, or other disruptive, fraudulent, non- competitive, or unfair impact on the AscendEX marketplace.
4.13.6 SIMULTANEOUS BUY AND SELL ORDERS
Neither you nor any Related Party shall place simultaneous buy and sell Orders that could potentially execute against each other. In addition, it is a violation of these Terms to take advantage of the AscendEX self-match prevention mechanism in a way that has the effect of misleading the market.
4.13.7 WASH TRADES
Neither you nor any Related Party, through one or more accounts, shall place or accept buy and sell Orders at the same price, where you or any Related Party knows or reasonably should know that the purpose of the Orders is to avoid taking a bona fide market position exposed to market risk (transactions commonly known or referred to as wash trades). Buy and sell Orders from different accounts with common beneficial ownership and/or affiliation that are placed with the intent to (i) pass money or Digital Assets between accounts (ii) negate market risk or price competition, or (iii) achieve a favourable Trading Fee Schedule and the resulting benefits, shall also be deemed to violate our prohibition on wash trades. Additionally, neither you nor any Related Party shall knowingly execute or accommodate the execution of such Orders by direct or indirect means.

Neither you nor any Related Party shall enter into non-competitive transactions on AscendEX for the purpose of assisting another person to engage in transactions that are in violation of our Marketplace Conduct Rules or any Applicable Laws and Regulations.

All Orders must be placed for the purpose of executing bona fide transactions. Additionally, all non-actionable messages must be placed in good faith for legitimate purposes, and you shall (without limitation) not place or cause to be placed (i) an Order with the intent, at the time of entry, to cancel the Order before execution or to modify the Order to avoid execution, (ii) an Order or actionable or non-actionable message or messages with the intent to mislead other market participants, (iii) an Order or actionable or non-actionable message or messages with the intent to overload, delay, or disrupt the systems of AscendEX or other market participants, or (iv) an Order or actionable or non-actionable message with the intent to disrupt, or with reckless
disregard for the adverse impact on the orderly conduct of trading or the fair execution of transactions.
4.14 Leveraged Trading
You acknowledge and understand the increased risks associated with leveraged trading services, including margin trading and futures trading, offered on the AscendEX Platform, including but not limited to, the risk of major fluctuations of Digital Assets and the risk of exacerbated adverse outcome when leverage is used. The use of leverage can lead to greater losses as well as increased gains.
You acknowledge and agree that you have sufficient investment knowledge and experience and the capacity to take the increased risks arising from leveraged trading. You further agree to independently assume all the risks arising from conducting leveraged trading in your own account.

You agree and hereby authorize AscendEX to take reasonable measures in its sole discretion, including but not limited to, forced position reduction and liquidation under extreme market volatility and other circumstances, for the purposes of protecting the legitimate interests of all Users and the Company.
You agree to maintain in your AscendEX margin and/or futures account a sufficient amount of Digital Assets to meet any margin requirements imposed by AscendEX with respect to leveraged trading activities. Failure to maintain a sufficient amount of Digital Assets can result in the forced-liquidation of digital assets in your margin/futures account.
Under extreme market circumstances and volatility, the forced liquidation of digital assets in your margin and/or futures account can occur without any notification. If the net asset value of your account falls below maintenance margin requirements, the digital assets in your account will be subject to forced liquidation to cover the margin deficiency. You also will be responsible for any shortfall in the account after such a sale.
In the event where the market continues moving against the open leveraged positions, the distress positions in your User account can be taken over by transferring to either Backstop Liquidity Providers (“BLPs”) or Users with the top10 largest opposing positions through an auto-deleveraging process.
AscendEX reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate any part of leveraged trading services at any time and without advance notice.

You acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Company is not responsible for the operation of the underlying protocols, and (ii) the Company makes no guarantees regarding their security, functionality, or availability of such Digital Asset Networks
7.5 SUPPORTED NETWORKS
You acknowledge and agree that we support certain Digital Asset Networks on AscendEX (each, a "Supported Network"). The list of Supported Networks (including, without limitation Bitcoin and Ether) will be made available on the AscendEX platform from time to time. We reserve the right to amend the list of Supported Networks at our sole discretion, which will take effect immediately upon such time as we may prescribe.
7.6 SUPPORTED DIGITAL ASSETS
You acknowledge and agree that we support certain Digital Assets of Supported Networks on AscendEX (each, a "Supported Digital Asset"). Please regularly check the AscendEX website for the latest information with respect to Supported Digital Assets.
Digital Assets of an unsupported Digital Asset Network or Digital Assets that operate "on top of", or are derived from, or based or developed on a Supported Network, unless explicitly named herein, are not considered Supported Digital Assets (each, an "Unsupported Digital Asset").
7.7 FORKS
You acknowledge and agree that the underlying protocols of Supported Networks are subject to changes in operating rules (each a "Fork") that may result in more than one version of such Supported Network (each, a "Forked Network") and us holding an identical amount of Digital Assets associated with each Forked Network. You further acknowledge and agree that that Forks may materially affect the value, function, and/or name of the Digital Assets you hold on AscendEX.
In the event of a Fork, you agree and understand that we may temporarily suspend the operations of AscendEX (with or without advance notice to you) while we choose, in our sole discretion, except as otherwise described herein, which Forked Networks to support. You acknowledge and agree that AscendEX does not support Forked Networks and that the Digital Assets of Forked Networks relating to Digital Asset addresses, which we control, will not be made available to you.
DIGITAL ASSET VALUES CAN FLUCTUATE SUBSTANTIALLY WHICH MAY RESULT IN A TOTAL LOSS OF THE VALUE OF DIGITAL ASSETS HELD BY US ON YOUR BEHALF. THE SUPPLY OF DIGITAL ASSETS AVAILABLE TO US TO PROVIDE TO YOU AS A RESULT OF A FORKED NETWORK AND OUR ABILITY TO DELIVER DIGITAL ASSETS RESULTING FROM A FORKED NETWORK MAY DEPEND ON THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL. WE DO NOT OWN OR CONTROL ANY OF THE PROTOCOLS THAT ARE USED IN CONNECTION WITH DIGITAL ASSETS AND THEIR RELATED DIGITAL ASSET NETWORKS, INCLUDING THOSE RESULTING FROM A FORKED NETWORK. ACCORDINGLY, WE DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY RELATING TO SUCH PROTOCOLS AND ANY CHANGE IN THE VALUE OF ANY DIGITAL ASSETS (WHETHER OF A FORKED NETWORK OR OTHERWISE), AND WE MAKE NO GUARANTEES REGARDING THE SECURITY, FUNCTIONALITY, OR AVAILABILITY OF SUCH PROTOCOLS OR DIGITAL ASSET NETWORKS. YOU ACCEPT ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF ASCENDEX TO CONDUCT TRANSACTIONS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FAILURES OF HARDWARE,
SOFTWARE, AND INTERNET CONNECTIONS.
7.8 BITCOIN FORKS
In the event of a Fork of the Bitcoin Network, we will support the Forked Network that requires the greatest total threshold number of hash attempts to mine all existing blocks measured during the 48-hour period following a Fork (the "Greatest Cumulative Computational Difficulty") and will call its Digital Asset "bitcoin" and use the ticker "BTC." You agree and understand that we may, in our sole discretion, suspend operations, in whole or in part (with or without advance notice), for however long we deem necessary, while we make this determination; however, we will not suspend bitcoin trading. If we are unable to make a conclusive determination as to which Forked Network has the Greatest Cumulative Computational Difficulty, or if we, in consultation with our consultants or advisors ("Consultants"), determine in good faith that Greatest Cumulative Computational Difficulty is not a reasonable criterion upon which to make a determination, we will support the Forked Network
that we, in consultation with our Consultants, deem in good faith is most likely to be supported by the greatest number of users and miners and will call its Digital Asset "bitcoin" and use the ticker "BTC." We may also support the other Forked Network, in which case we will call its Digital Asset by a different name and use a different ticker.
7.9 ETHEREUM FORKS
In the event of a Fork of the Ethereum Network, we will support the Forked Network that has the Greatest Cumulative Computational Difficulty and will call its Digital Asset "ether" and use the ticker "ETH." You agree and understand that we may, in our sole discretion, suspend operations, in whole or in part (with or without advance notice), for however long we deem necessary, while we make this determination; however, we will not suspend ether trading. If we are unable to make a conclusive determination as to which Forked Network has the Greatest Cumulative Computational Difficulty, or if we, in consultation with our Consultants, determine in good faith that Greatest Cumulative Computational Difficulty is not a reasonable criterion upon which to make a determination, we will support the Forked Network that we, in consultation with our Consultants, deem in good faith is most likely to be supported by the greatest number of users and miners and will call its Digital Asset
"ether" and use the ticker "ETH." We may also support the other Forked Network, in which case we will call its Digital Asset by a different name and use a different ticker.
7.10 FORKS OF NETWORKS OF OTHER SUPPORTED DIGITAL ASSETS
Section 7.9 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to forks of networks of other Supported Digital Assets - we will generally support the Forked Network that has the Greatest Cumulative Computational Difficulty.
7.11 UNSUPPORTED FORKED NETWORKS
You agree and understand that we may choose, in our sole discretion, except as described herein, not to support a Forked Network (each, an "Unsupported Forked Network") and that you have no right, claim, or other privilege to any Digital Assets of an Unsupported Forked Network. With respect to an Unsupported Forked Network, we will treat its Digital Assets as Unsupported Digital Assets and we may, in our sole discretion, elect to: (i) abandon or otherwise not pursue obtaining its Digital Assets, (ii) pursue and retain its Digital Assets as property belonging solely to the Company, or (iii) determine your balance at the time of the Fork, account for it as your property, and make it available to you via a one-time withdrawal mechanism (subject to the withholding and retention by the Company of any amount reasonably necessary, as determined in our sole discretion, to fairly compensate us for the efforts expended to make such Digital Assets available). A withdrawal pursuant to
this section does not make an Unsupported Forked Network a Supported Network or its Digital Assets Supported Digital Assets.
If we decide to support an Unsupported Forked Network and its Digital Assets in the future, we will determine your balance at the time of the Fork (minus any applicable withdrawals in accordance with this Section) and account for it as your property, which will be reflected in your Digital Asset Account.
7.12 UNSOLICITED TRANSFERS
You acknowledge and agree that in the event that a third-party deposits Supported Digital Assets into a Digital Asset address that we control, we have the right to and will account for any such Supported Digital Assets as (i) your property if sent to your Digital Asset Account, or (ii) our property, belonging solely to us, if sent to any other Digital Asset address that we control. You agree and understand that in the event that you or a third-party deposits Unsupported Digital Assets into a Digital Asset address that we control, we have the right to and will account for any such Unsupported Digital Assets as our property.
You further acknowledge and agree that the types of transfers described in this Section (each an "Unsolicited Transfer") do not create a relationship between us and the sender and do not subject us to any obligations with respect to the sender.
7.13 RETURN OF UNSOLICITED TRANSFERS
You acknowledge and agree that we have absolutely no obligation or duty to return the Digital Assets of an Unsolicited Transfer. Exceptions to this Section will be considered and made on a case-by-case basis, in our sole discretion.
7.14 AIRDROPS
You acknowledge and agree that in the event that a Digital Asset Network attempts to or does distribute (sometimes called "airdropping" or "bootstrapping") its Digital Assets to Digital Asset addresses of a Supported Network, we will treat this Digital Asset Network as an Unsupported Forked Network.
You further acknowledge and agree that airdropped Digital Assets do not create a relationship between us and the sender and/or the related Digital Asset Network and do not subject us to any obligations with respect to the sender and/or the related Digital Asset Network.
7.15 UNCLAIMED PROPERTY

11.2 DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT CONTAINS CERTAIN PROVISIONS, SUCH AS A BINDING ARBITRATION SECTION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, WHICH AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. THIS SECTION REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH THE SELLER AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
Each party (i) waives all its respective right(s) to have any and all disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings (collectively, "Disputes") arising from or related to these Terms resolved in a court, and (ii) waive all its respective right(s) to have any Disputes heard before a jury. Instead, each party shall arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).
Any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms is personal to you and will be resolved solely through individual arbitration, and in no circumstances shall be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. There will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an entity attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.
Any Dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms (including without limitation the enforceability of this section or any question regarding its existence, validity or termination) shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC") in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC Rules") for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this section. The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore. The Tribunal shall consist of 1 arbitrator. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
Each party will notify the other party in writing of any Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the Parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to the Company shall be sent by e-mail to the Company at support@ascendex.com . Notice to you shall be either posted on the Website or, if available, will be sent by email to your email on record. Your notice must include (i) your name, postal address, email address and telephone number, (ii) a full and sufficient description of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (iii) the specific relief that you are seeking. If you and the Company cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date the notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or the Company may, as appropriate and in accordance with this section, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for in this section, file a claim in court.
The arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative or class action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual's claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
If any term, clause or provision of this section is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent applicable and required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this Section will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in this Section are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.
You agree that this Section of these Terms has been included to rapidly and inexpensively resolve any disputes with respect to the matters described herein, and that this Section shall be grounds for dismissal of any court action commenced by you with respect to a dispute arising out of such matters.
A printed version of these Terms shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings.
