Cancellations. You may only cancel an order initiated via the Services if such cancellation occurs before Fine Exchange executes the transaction.

It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the trades you complete via the Services, and it is your responsibility to report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority.

Trade confirmation. Once the Services execute your trade, a confirmation will be electronically made available via the Services detailing the particulars of the trade. You acknowledge and agree that the failure of the Services to provide such confirmation shall not prejudice or invalidate the terms of such trade.

Market volatility. Particularly during periods of high volume, illiquidity, fast movement or volatility in the marketplace for any Digital Assets or Legal Tender, the actual market rate at which a market order or trade is executed may be different from the prevailing rate indicated via the Services at the time of your order or trade.

Trading risks. You acknowledge and agree that you shall access and use the Services at your own risk.

You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. You should be aware of the following points:

You may sustain a total loss of the Funds in your Account, and, in some cases, you may incur losses beyond such Funds.

Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for example, when the market reaches a daily price fluctuation limit or there is insufficient liquidity in the market.

All Digital Asset positions involve risk, and a “spread” position may not be less risky than an outright “long” or “short” position.

The use of leverage can work against you as well as for you and can lead to large losses as well as gains. Refer to our Margin Disclosure Statement for more information about the unique and specific risks involved with margin transactions.

Internet transmission risks. You acknowledge that there are risks associated with utilizing an Internet-based trading system including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware, software, and Internet connections.

There is no guarantee against Losses on the Website. You may lose more than is in your Account (including any subaccount or Digital Assets Wallet) if you engage the Services on the Website or if there is a force majeure event.

9. ROLE OF Fine Exchange

Fine Exchange does not generally act as principal, counterparty, or market-maker in the transactions effected through trading on the Website or in providing financing for financed trading on the Website. However, from time to time, Fine Exchange may choose to do so or to contract with third parties to do so. When Fine Exchange or contracted third parties are transacting on the Site or Services, their orders, trades and other transactions will be treated the same as, or provided lower priority than, other user’s orders, trades or other transactions.

Additionally, Fine Exchange administers the trading platform for the bids, offers and enforces contracts among parties engaged in financing activities on the Site. In the event a dispute arises among parities in respect of the Services (including between parties to transactions effected through trading on the Site or financing for financed trading on the Site), Fine Exchange may, at its sole discretion, suspend the provision of Services to you, in whole or in part, pending resolution of the dispute.
