5. Orders

5.1. Placement of Orders

5.1.1. Orders pursuant to Exchange Services ("Orders") are placed on the Platform through your Account. You understand that we execute all Orders in reliance on your promise that you intend to exchange your Virtual Assets with fiat money, or vice versa as the case may be.

5.1.2. When placing an Order, you will be prompted to provide us with the information we require to effect the Order on your behalf ("Instructions"), including:

  1. the specific type of Virtual Asset or fiat money you intend to exchange ("Consideration");
  2. the amount of Consideration;
  3. the specific type of Virtual Asset or fiat money which you desire to obtain in exchange for the Consideration;
  4. the Order type (if applicable) and any specifics related to the Order; and
  5. any other information which we would require to fulfil the Order, as this may be from time to time.

5.1.3. To be able to fulfil your request to effect an Order on your behalf, we reserve the right to access your Wallet and to deduct the Consideration from the available balance on your Wallet in accordance with your Instructions, together with any applicable fee.

5.1.4. You may not place an Order unless you have sufficient funds available on your Wallet to cover the amount you intend to exchange under the Order.

5.1.5. It is YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that all information provided to us under the Instructions is accurate and correct. Orders should only be submitted after careful consideration and once you understand and accept the consequences of their placement. You shall be responsible for monitoring all your Orders until we confirm execution, suspension, refusal or cancellation of the Order.

5.1.6. We retain the right to immediately execute any Order and to act in accordance with any Instruction provided to us without further enquiry as to the genuineness, authority or the identity of the person using the Account to initiate such Instruction. Please remember that safeguarding your Account is your sole responsibility, in accordance with section 7.5 below.

5.2. Indicative prices of Virtual Assets
We may present, via the Platform, indicative prices of Virtual Assets quoted in fiat money and/or in any other Virtual Asset ("Indicative Prices"). Indicative Prices are produced and provided by us based on quotes we receive from our liquidity providers. Indicative Prices presented to you through the Platform shall reflect approximations of the prices made available by us at the time at which they are displayed. Such prices do not necessarily reflect the prices for the Virtual Asset as quoted by other third parties dealing with the same Virtual Assets. Indicative Prices are only provided for informational purposes, and DO NOT CONSTITUTE binding offers.

5.3. Limits on the amount of Consideration under an Order
We reserve the right to introduce minimum and maximum thresholds on the amounts of Consideration that Users may place in relation to an Order, to apply different thresholds to the different forms of Consideration, to apply different thresholds to different Virtual Assets, and to apply different thresholds to different Users. The specific threshold applicable to the Consideration of your choice will be displayed on the Platform when placing an Order.

5.4. Execution of Orders
Orders are made with reference to and executed in accordance with the prevailing market price(s) that are applicable to the Consideration and the specific Virtual Assets or fiat money that you wish to receive in exchange for the Consideration at the time of execution. The amount of Virtual Assets or fiat money received in exchange for the Consideration ("Received Amount") will be automatically credited to the relevant Wallet that is associated with your Account on the Platform. You accept that the Received Amount is complete and final even if the amount received may be higher or lower than that Indicative Price which was displayed at the time of placing your Order. Please note that this may happen due to the time required to execute your Order, your Order type, and the high volatility of the Virtual Asset markets as detailed in section 8.1 below.

5.5. Costs
Any cost, including our Fees, as described in detail on Fees and Charges page, any Third Party fee, and/or any other commissions and/or cost associated ("Costs") with the Exchange Services (including network fees) shall be added to the Consideration and automatically deducted from the available balance on your Wallet. Please note that we may not be able to provide you with information on Costs applied by Third Parties.

5.6. Pending Orders
Once you submit an Order, the Order will be in a pending state until it is executed ("Pending Order"). Please note that the exchange is not complete while the Order is in a pending state, and that the amount of Consideration that you have committed for the exchange will not be available to you. If the Order is executed successfully, you will automatically receive the Virtual Asset or fiat money on the relevant Wallet in accordance with section 5.4 above. If instead the Order is cancelled in accordance with section 5.8 below, the amount of Consideration will be credited back to the original Wallet from which the Consideration was taken, deducted of any applicable Cost (if any).

5.7. Modification of Orders
Please note that Orders for exchange (i.e., market orders) cannot be modified once they are placed.

5.8. Cancellation of Orders
We reserve the right to cancel an Order or part of an Order at all times upon the occurrence of, or due to:

  2. the Order going above any threshold which we have set in accordance with section 5.3 above;
  3. the Order being placed during a scheduled or unscheduled downtime of the Platform;
  4. the Order being made in violation or where we have reason to suspect that the Order has been made in violation of the Terms, or any applicable rule, law, or regulation;

  6. the Order being non-marketable due to unfavourable market conditions;
  7. Third Parties, which we may rely upon to execute the Order being unable to provide support with the Order, for example instances where liquidity providers are unable to provide liquidity;
  8. any event outside of our control preventing us to provide access to the Platform or the Services, or to meet any other obligation we may be subject to under the Terms ("Force Majeure Event");
  9. risk considerations.

8. Risk Warning

8.1. General
The risk of loss in trading or holding Virtual Assets can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether trading or holding Virtual Assets is a suitable activity for you in light of your financial circumstances. You acknowledge that using Virtual Assets, their networks and protocols, involves serious risks. It is your duty to learn about all the risks involved with Virtual Assets, their protocols and networks. Even if we inform you of some of the risks involved with Virtual Assets, their protocols and networks, Currency.com has no responsibility to alert you of all risks involved. Currency.com has no control over and makes no representations regarding the value of Virtual Assets, or the security of their networks or protocols. You hereby further acknowledge that the Virtual Assets markets are determined by demand and supply only. The Virtual Assets market is a dynamic arena and their respective prices are often highly unpredictable and volatile. The prices of Virtual Assets are usually not transparent and are frequently highly speculative and susceptible to market manipulation. In the worst-case scenario, a Virtual Asset could be rendered worthless. Moreover, there is always a risk that changes in the applicable legislative or regulatory regime may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of Virtual Assets. Virtual Assets’ markets and exchanges are not currently regulated with the same control, and customers are not entitled to the same protections, available in relation to other financial instruments. You are solely responsible for determining whether any contemplated or actioned use of the Services is appropriate based on your personal goals, financial status and risk willingness. We do not guarantee the availability of any exchange rate. We do not guarantee that you will be able to buy and/or sell your Virtual Assets on the open market at any particular price or time.

For more information about risks related to Virtual Assets please refer to our Crypto-assets Risk Disclosures page.

8.2. No Advice or Guarantee
The content provided as part of the Services is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal or financial advice. We may provide information on the price, range or volatility of Virtual Assets and events that have affected the price of Virtual Assets, but it should not be considered as investment or financial advice and should not be construed as such. Currency.com is not acting and cannot act as an advisor, including as to any financial, legal, investment, insurance or tax matters. Any information provided by Currency.com is for general information only. You are solely responsible for determining whether any contemplated transaction is appropriate for you. You should consult with an attorney or other professional to determine what may be best for your individual needs. Currency.com does not make any guarantee or other promise as to any results that may be obtained from using the Services. You should not make any investment decision without first consulting your financial advisor and conducting your own research and due diligence. Currency.com provides execution-only services.

8.3. Internet and Computers Transmission Risks
There are risks associated with utilising an Internet-based system including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware, software, and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information or assets (including your Virtual Assets) stored on your behalf. Additionally, there is a risk of cyber-attacks on the security, integrity or operation of the Virtual Assets’ distributed ledger technology or any other underlying technology.

8.4. Distributed Ledger Technology Risks
Distributed ledger technology (also referred to throughout the Terms as "blockchain") may be an independent public peer-to peer network and not controlled in any way or manner by us and, as such, we shall not be responsible for any failure, mistake, error or breach which shall occur on the blockchain or in any other networks on which the Virtual Assets are being issued or otherwise traded. You will be bound and subject to any change or amendments in the blockchain system and subject to any applicable law which may apply to the blockchain. We make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, statutory or otherwise, regarding the blockchain functionality nor for any breach of security in the blockchain.

8.5. Forks
The underlying distributed ledger protocols are subject to sudden changes in operating rules, and third parties may from time to time create a copy of a virtual assets network and implement changes in operating rules or other features ("Forks") that may result in more than one version of a network (each, a "Forked Network") and more than one version of a virtual asset ("Forked Assets").

You understand and acknowledge that Forked Networks and the available supply of any Forked Assets are wholly outside of the control of Currency.com, and you further acknowledge that our ability to deliver Forked Assets resulting from a Forked Network may depend on third parties that are outside of our control. You understand and acknowledge that Forks may materially affect the value, function, and/or even the name of the virtual assets you store in your Wallet(s). In the event of a Fork, you understand and acknowledge that Currency.com may temporarily suspend the Services (with or without advance notice to you) while we determine, at our sole discretion, which Forked Network(s) to support (if any).

9. Fees

9.1.
