2. Our Services.

2.1 Virtual Currency Wallet Services. Hodltech is a licensed virtual currency wallet service provider that
enables you to store, track, transfer, and manage your balances of certain supported virtual
currencies (collectively, “Virtual Currency Transactions”). We will process Virtual Currency
Transactions in accordance with the instructions we receive from you. Prior to submitting
instructions to us, you should verify all transaction information. We do not guarantee the identity of
any recipient, user, requestee or other party. You cannot reverse a Virtual Currency Transaction
once it has been broadcast to the relevant Virtual Currency network. If a Virtual Currency
Transaction has not yet been confirmed on the Virtual Currency network, Virtual Currency
associated with such transaction will be designated as pending and will not be included in your
Virtual Currency wallet balance or be available to conduct Virtual Currency Transactions. You
cannot reverse or change any Virtual Currency Transaction marked as complete or pending.
You must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, licensing requirements and third party rights
(including, without limitation, data privacy laws) in your use of the Services.
We may refuse to process or cancel any pending Virtual Currency Transaction as required by law
or any court or other authority to which we are subject in any jurisdiction. We further reserve the
right to delay any Virtual Currency Transaction if we perceive a risk of fraud or illegal activity. We
also have the right to refuse to process or cancel any Virtual Currency Transaction due to
technological issues with the blockchain software, our own software, or for other technological
reasons.
Our Services are available only in connection with those virtual currencies that we support which
may change from time to time. A full list of the virtual currencies we currently support can be found
on the Website at Supported Coins. You will not use your Account or your virtual currency wallet
to store, send, request, or receive virtual currencies in any form that we do not support (we will use
reasonable efforts to help you move or sell virtual currency that we no longer support). We assume
no responsibility or liability in connection with any attempt to use your Account or virtual currency
wallet for virtual currencies that we do not support.

3
You acknowledge that: (i) Coinpayments is not a bank or brokerage and the Services provided are
facilitation services rather than banking services; and (ii) CoinPayments is not acting as a trustee,
fiduciary or escrow with respect to your virtual currency or funds, but is acting only as a Service
provider.
You agree that you will not receive interest or other earnings in your Account or virtual currency
wallet from the use of our Services except through your own Virtual Currency Transactions and
CoinPayments has no responsibility or liability to you for Virtual Currency Transactions conducted
by you or conducted by us in accordance with your instructions. You are prohibited from using our
Services for any illegal or fraudulent purposes or for the purpose of consummating transactions for
any other parties.
By initiating Virtual Currency Transactions or by sending and receiving virtual currency, you appoint
Hodltech as your nominee custodian to manage your Account where it is appropriate in the sole
opinion of Hodltech or by your instruction. Should we suffer any damage, expense, liability, cost or
loss from your use of our Services, you shall indemnify and reimburse us in full for such damage,
expense, liability, cost or loss within five days of receiving an invoice from us (the “Payment
Deadline”). If you fail to pay by the Payment Deadline or payment is not sufficient to reimburse us
for such damage, expense, liability, cost or loss, we reserve the right to debit your Account
accordingly and/or to withhold amounts from virtual currency or funds you have requested to
transfer.

2.2 Internet Provider. Coinpayments acts as a Service provider by creating, hosting, maintaining and
providing our Services to you via the Internet. We cannot ensure that a buyer or a seller you are
dealing with will actually complete the Virtual Currency Transaction and all risk of a Virtual Currency
Transaction remains with you. We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to
our Services or the Coinpayments Site and we make no representations or warranties regarding
the amount of time needed to complete Virtual Currency Transaction processing which is
dependent upon many factors outside of our control. Access to Services may become degraded or
unavailable during times of significant volatility or volume.

2.3 Underlying Protocols. We do not own, control, operate or maintain the underlying software
protocols which govern the operation of the virtual currencies supported by us. In general, the
underlying protocols are open source software and anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute
them. By using our Services, you acknowledge and agree (i) that we are not responsible for the
operation of the underlying protocols and that we make no guarantee of their security, functionality
or availability; and (ii) that the underlying protocols are subject to sudden changes in operating
rules, which may materially affect the value, function, name of the virtual currency and/or our ability
to support certain virtual currencies. In the event of a fork in a virtual currency, you agree that we
may temporarily suspend our Services (with or without advance notice to you) and that we may, in
our sole discretion, decide whether or not to support (or cease supporting) either branch of the
forked protocol entirely. You also agree that in the event you send a Virtual Currency Transaction
at the time of a Virtual Currency fork, we will only honor the originally-intended Virtual Currency
Transaction that you sent. You acknowledge and agree that we assume absolutely no responsibility
or liability whatsoever in respect of an unsupported branch of a forked protocol.

2.4 Identity Verification. During registration of your Account and at any other time you have an Account,
you agree to provide us with the information we request for the purposes of ongoing due diligence,
identity verification and the detection of money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other
financial crime and permit us to keep a record of such information. You agree and represent and
warrant that all information you provide us at any time will not be false, inaccurate or misleading.
You will need to complete certain verification procedures before you are permitted to use our
Services. Your access to our Services and the limits that apply to your use of our Services, may be
altered, suspended or terminated as a result of information collected about you on an ongoing basis
and/or your failure to provide us with information we request on a timely basis. You authorize us to

make inquiries, whether directly or through third parties, that we consider necessary to verify your
identity or protect you and/or us against fraud or other financial crime, and to take action we
reasonably deem necessary based on the results of such inquiries. When we carry out these
inquiries, you acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be disclosed to fraud
prevention or financial crime agencies and that these agencies may respond to our inquiries in full.
Verification of Users is only an indication of increased likelihood that a User’s identity is correct.
Because User verification on the Internet is difficult, we cannot and do not guarantee any User’s
identity.
You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs in relation to your Account, and you must
keep your Account password secure. We recommend that you use “strong” passwords (passwords
that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your Account.
You must notify us immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your Account by
emailing us at support@coinpayments.net. We will not be responsible or liable for any damages,
liability or losses caused by any unauthorized use of your Account.
You may control your User profile and how you interact with our Services by changing the settings
in your Account settings page. By providing us with your email address, you consent to our using
such email address to send you Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in
lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use your email address to send you other
messages, such as changes to features of our Services. If you do not want to receive such email
messages, you may opt out by clicking “unsubscribe”, or something similar in the email message.
Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or
offers.

3.0 Fees and Referrals.

3.1 Fees. A full list of our fees for traditional payment processing and virtual currency wallet services
can be found at Fees/Pricing on the Website, in this Agreement or in a separate fee schedule
provided by us, which we may change from time to time. Changes to fees/pricing are effective as
of the effective date indicated in the posting of the revised Fees/Pricing on the Website or in a
separate fee schedule provided by us, and will apply prospectively to any transactions that take
place following the effective date of such posting or such separate fee schedule. Merchants and
business operators in high risk industries may be required to pay higher fees in our sole discretion.
If you are unsure whether you or your business is classified as high risk or in violation of Section

 of this Agreement, please contact support@coinpayments.net. Your Account and all Virtual
Currency Transactions are made and displayed in the currency of the virtual currency held or the
virtual currency of the Virtual Currency Transaction you are conducting.
If you have chosen to setup our conversion feature to allow for an automated conversion of Virtual
Currencies when you receive them as a payment or otherwise (ie. an automatic conversion of ETH
to BTC), you agree to accept such conversion at the rate provided including, without limitation, our
conversion fees, which may be adjusted from time to time. We do not guarantee the availability of
any conversion rate.
You authorize us, or our designated third party, to charge or deduct from your Account funds for
any applicable Fees owed in connection with transactions completed or approved by you or in
connection with your Account via the Services.

3.2 Referrals and Affiliates. We currently offer an affiliate program which offers Users who make
referrals to us a percentage of our transaction fees earned from such referrals for 5 years. For full
information on such affiliate program see Help – Affiliates on the Website. We reserve the right to
cancel, suspend or modify such affiliate program at any time without notice and in our sole
discretion.

4. Receiving Payments.

4.1 Funding of Payments. 

You are responsible for maintaining an adequate balance and sufficient
proceeds in your Account in order to pay for fees and complete transactions and in order to avoid
overdraft, insufficient funds, or similar fees being charged. If reversal of funding occurs because
you have used credit then you are fully and solely responsible for any resulting debit.

4.2 Withdrawals. 

You may withdraw virtual currency from your Account; however, we reserve the right
to require you to provide certain information including, without limitation, identification information
and settle any outstanding fees or other amounts prior to completing any withdrawals.

5. Sending Payments.

5.1 Sending Payments. You may send virtual currency from your Account to another User’s account
or to an external virtual currency address; however, we reserve the right to require you to provide
certain information including, without limitation, identification information and settle any outstanding
fees or other amounts prior to completing any such payments. You authorize us to deduct from
your Account fees, costs, expenses and claims due and unpaid by you. All Virtual Currency
Transactions are at your sole risk.

5.2 Rejected Payments. 

When you send a payment to a third party through our Services, the recipient
is not required to accept the payment, even if the recipient is also a registered User. The recipient
may return the payment or, in some cases, use our Services to reject payments that you send. Any
payments sent through our Services that are rejected or unclaimed by a recipient will be returned
to you as soon as reasonably practicable after the date the payment is rejected and the virtual
currency or funds are returned. Our standard fees apply for such transactions.

6. Refund Policy.
6.1 Completed Transactions. It is the nature of Bitcoin, Litecoin, and the other virtual currencies that
we support that all Virtual Currency Transactions are final with no method of refunding, charging
back or other recourse for the sender of the virtual currency. As such we are unable to cancel,
reverse or provide refunds for any Virtual Currency Transaction made through our Services. We do
provide a feedback system so buyers can leave ratings for sellers (and vice versa).

6.2 Incomplete Transactions/Overages. If your virtual currency was not received and/or confirmed on
the relevant virtual currency platform or you sent more virtual currency then you intended to send
we may be able to refund you the virtual currency as long as you have promptly notified us in time
and such virtual currency is still within our control. To apply for a refund, open a support
ticket providing your transaction ID, verification code, and refund virtual currency address. The
ticket must be opened with the email address used for the applicable Virtual Currency Transaction.
Refunds will be either (at our discretion): (a) the original amount of the virtual currency we have
received and is still within our control; or (b) an amount equivalent to the USD value at the time of
the Virtual Currency Transaction. All refunds must be claimed within 30 days of us receiving your
virtual currency or it will be forfeited. Refunds of virtual currency and other funds may be returned
to you minus our costs, the unsubsidized coin/miner network transaction fee and any other third
party charges. For a refund to be honored it must be at least equal to the network transaction fee
for that virtual currency times two, otherwise it will be forfeited.

6.3 Sent to wrong coin/chain, missing tags, delisted coins, etc. If you have sent virtual currency to the
wrong virtual currency, virtual currency wallet or blockchain, or to a delisted virtual currency and it
needs to be recovered by us manually there will be a recovery fee equal to 8% of the recovered
virtual currency, if the virtual currency can be recovered at all, and we reserve the right in our sole
discretion to not attempt to recover small amounts. This would also apply to virtual currency that
require a destination tag, payment ID, memo, etc. that was not sent or sent to an incorrect address.
We will not recover virtual currency we do not support. You must contact us within 30 days after an
applicable Virtual Currency Transaction for us to recover your virtual currency, if recoverable, or it
will be forfeited.

6.4 No Liability for Errors/Omissions. You accept and acknowledge that we are not liable or responsible
for any errors or omissions that are made in connection with any Virtual Currency Transaction
initiated via the Services. We strongly encourage you to review your transaction details carefully
before attempting to transfer a virtual currency.

8. Privacy and Security
8.1 Privacy. We respect the privacy of our Users and we do not request any information that is
unnecessary for the use of our Services or to comply with our obligations under applicable law.
You acknowledge and accept that we will comply willingly with all legal requests for information
from us. We reserve the right to provide information to law enforcement personnel and other third
parties to answer inquiries, participate in investigations, respond to legal process, respond to the
order of a court of competent jurisdiction and those exercising the court’s authority, and to protect
us and our Users.
You understand that by using our Services you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your
personally identifiable information and aggregate data as set forth in our Privacy Policy and to your
personally identifiable information being collected, used, transferred to and processed in
jurisdictions where we carry on business. By agreeing to this Agreement, you expressly allow us to
export data outside of the jurisdiction in which you reside or are located when you access our
Services. You acknowledge that we may process personal data in relation to you (if you are an
individual), and personal data that you have provided or in the future provide to us in relation to
your entity, employees or other associates, in connection with this Agreement, or our Services.
Accordingly, you represent and warrant that:
• your disclosure to us of any personal data relating to individuals other than yourself was or
will be made in accordance with all applicable data protection and data privacy laws, and
such data is accurate, up to date and relevant when disclosed;
• before providing any such personal data to us, you have read and understood our Privacy
Policy which may be amended from time to time and is incorporated by reference and
forms part of this Agreement and have provided a copy to any individual whose personal
data you have provided to us; and
• from time to time if we amend the Privacy Policy, you will promptly read it and provide a
copy to any individual whose personal data you have provided to us.
8.2 Security. We care about the integrity and security of your personal information and we take a
number of security measures including storing all Users’ personal information in an encrypted
fashion. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will not defeat our security
12
measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you
provide your personal information to us at your own risk.
We are not responsible or liable for any damage or interruptions caused by any computer viruses,
spyware, scareware, Trojan horses, worms or other malware that may affect your computer or other
equipment, or any phishing, spoofing or other attack from using the Coinpayments Site. We advise
the regular use of a reputable and readily available virus screening and prevention software. You
should also be aware that SMS and email services are vulnerable to spoofing and phishing attacks
and should use care in reviewing messages purporting to originate from us. Our customer support
will never seek to access your computer or ask for your password or your two factor authentication
codes. Always log into your Account through the official Website to review any transactions or
required actions if you have any uncertainty regarding the authenticity of any communication.
9. Closing, Suspension, Termination and Remedies.
9.1 Closing Your Account and Forfeiture for Non-Activity. You may close your Account at any time in
accordance with our policies and procedures by withdrawing all balances. Upon closure of your
Account, you authorize us to cancel or suspend any pending transactions at the time of cancellation
and any balance in your Account will be delivered to you or to your virtual currency address as
instructed less any outstanding amounts owed to us, the unsubsidized coin/miner network
transaction fee and any other third party charges. In the event your Account is closed, whether by
you or us, any virtual currency or funds in your Account must be claimed and removed by you within
30 days of your Account’s closure date. If you fail to claim and remove virtual currency or funds in
your Account within 30 days of your Account’s closure date, a recovery and return fee equal to 8%
of all the virtual currency and funds in your Account will be charged by us, if the virtual currency
can be recovered and returned at all, and we reserve the right in our sole discretion to not attempt
to recover and return to you small amounts.
You may not use closure of your Account as a means of evading investigation or inquiries by us. If
any queries or investigation is pending at the time you request closure of your Account, we may
refuse your request to close your Account and/or hold your virtual currency and/or funds as
appropriate to protect us against financial and/or legal liability. If you are later determined to be
entitled to some or all of the virtual currency and/or funds in dispute, we will pay such virtual
currency and/or funds to you. You will remain responsible and liable for all obligations related to
your Account even after such Account is closed.
If you do not access your Account for a period of two years and we have been unable to contact
you after three attempts at the last contact address we have for you in our records, your Account
may be terminated at Coinpayments’ election and in our sole discretion. On the date of termination
of your Account, your virtual currency and funds will be subject to applicable laws regarding escheat
of unclaimed property and you hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Hodltech or its designee
and their respective duly authorized officers and agents as your agent and attorney-in-fact to act
for and in on your behalf and stead to execute and file any such instruments and papers and to do
all other lawfully permitted acts to, at our sole election, donate the virtual currency and/or funds in
your Account to a charity of our choice or transfer the virtual currency and funds to our account,
with no liability or responsibility to you or to your successors, assigns, heirs, executors,
administrators and legal representatives. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and
shall not be affected by your subsequent incapacity.
9.2. Suspension, Termination; other Remedies, etc. Without limiting any other remedies we may have
under applicable law, we may, without liability: (a) refuse to complete or block, cancel or reverse a
Virtual Currency Transaction you have authorized, including, without limitation, block funding to or
withdrawals from your Account; (b) suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to your Account and
to any or all of our Services (including, but not limited to, the ability to send funds or make
withdrawals from your account and/or limit withdrawals); (c) place a hold on or freeze any virtual
13
currency and/or funds in your Account for any period of time we deem appropriate; (d) issue
statements or warnings to the public or other Users; (e) contact law enforcement or other relevant
authorities and/or disclose information about you and/or your Account and your Account
transactions to law enforcement or other relevant authorities; (f) suspend, deactivate or close your
Account with immediate effect for any reason; and/or (g) refuse to provide our Services to you,
including but not limited to, where:
• You are in breach of this Agreement or we have concerns or reasonably suspect you are
acting in breach of this Agreement.
• We reasonably suspect you of using the Coinpayments Site or our Services in connection
with a Prohibited Activity.
• You are in breach of applicable law, we have concerns or reasonably suspect you are in
breach of applicable law or we are, in our reasonable opinion, required to do so by
applicable law or any court or other authority to which we are subject in any jurisdiction.
• We have concerns about the security of your Account, that a transaction is erroneous or
we suspect your Account or our Services is being used in a fraudulent, illegal, suspicious
or unauthorized manner including, without limitation, for transactions with high volumes.
• We suspect money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other financial crime.
• Use of your Account is subject to any pending litigation, investigation, or government
proceeding and/or we perceive a heightened risk of legal or regulatory non-compliance
associated with your Account activity or you are subject to a court order.
• You have failed to pay our fees or there is insufficient virtual currency or funds in your
Account to cover the transaction and (where applicable) associated fees at the time that
we receive notification of the transaction.
• You fail to provide us with information we request on a timely basis and/or we have
concerns about the information collected about you.
• Our service partners are unable to support your use of our Services.
• You take any action that may circumvent the security of the Coinpayments Site or our
controls such as opening multiple Accounts or consummating transactions for the benefit
of a third party.
Additionally, to secure performance of your obligations under this Agreement, you hereby grant to
Hodltech or its designee a continuing first priority security interest in and to all of your right, title and
interest in and to all of your Account(s), together with any interests therein, whether now owned or
existing or hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where located and all products, proceeds,
substitutions, additions, accessions and replacements thereof (all of the same being herein referred
to collectively as the “Collateral”). You must not create security over your Collateral without our
prior written consent.
In addition to any rights and remedies we may have under this Agreement or applicable law, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any default in your payment of any fees, expenses,
costs, losses, liabilities or other obligations owing to us (collectively, the “Obligations”), you hereby
authorize us at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to you or consent from you, any
such notice or consent being waived by you to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set
off and apply any and all Collateral at any time held by us to or for the credit of you or your Account
against any and all Obligations owing to us under this Agreement, under any other agreement or
otherwise, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not we shall have made demand
under this Agreement or any other agreement and although such Obligations may be contingent or
unmatured or denominated in a currency or virtual currency different from that of the Collateral.
We may, without prior notice, suspend our Services; change our Services; stop providing our
Services or features of our Services, to you or to Users generally; or create usage or Virtual
Currency Transaction limits for our Services. Upon termination of your Account for any reason or
no reason, you continue to be bound by this Agreement.
14
You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users. We reserve the right, but have no
obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users. We shall have no responsibility or
liability for your interactions with other Users, or for any User’s action or inaction.
If we suspend or close your Account, or terminate your use of our Services, in whole or in part, for
any reason, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of our actions
unless a court order or other legal process prohibits us from providing you with such notice. You
acknowledge that our decision to take certain actions, including limiting access to, suspending, or
closing your Account, may be based on confidential criteria that are essential to our risk
management and security protocols. You agree that we are under no obligation to disclose the
details of its risk management and security procedures to you.

condition.
15
10.7 Survival. All provisions of this Agreement will continue to be binding and operate after the

10.13 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including as to validity,
interpretation and effect, by English law. The application of the United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
10.14 Arbitration. Read this section carefully because it requires each party to this Agreement to arbitrate
our disputes and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. For any dispute with us,
you agree to first contact us at support@coinpayments.net and attempt to resolve the dispute with
us informally. In the unlikely event that we have not been able to resolve a dispute we have with
you after ninety (90) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding
any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection
with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof, by binding arbitration in
accordance with the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) rules in effect at the time of
the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the parties. The
number of arbitrators shall be one who shall be mutually selected by CoinPayments and you. The
seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be London, England. The language to be used in the arbitral
proceedings shall be English. The governing law of the Agreement shall be as set forth in Section
10.13 herein. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties. The parties undertake
to carry out any award without delay and waive their right to any form of recourse insofar as such
waiver can validly be made. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having
jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. Each party will be
responsible for paying any arbitration fees, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with
16
applicable arbitration rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of
arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses.
Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing us from seeking injunctive or other equitable
relief from the English courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement,
misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary
rights. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts for any actions for
which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent
jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our
data security, Intellectual Property Rights or copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other
intellectual property or proprietary rights, including, without limitation, any provisional relief required
to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that London, England is the proper forum for any appeals
of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision above
is found to be unenforceable.
10.15 Change of Control. In the event that we are acquired by or consolidated, amalgamated or merged
with a third party entity, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign
the information we have collected from you and our relationship with you (including this Agreement)
as part of such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, acquisition, sale, or other change of controlC
