3. Compliance with legal obligations. We are subject to various legal and regulatory obligations imposed by the laws and supervisory authorities of various jurisdictions e.g., anti-money laundering laws, financial services laws, corporation laws, privacy laws and tax laws. These obligations may require us to process certain personal data for identity verification, payment processing, compliance with court orders, tax laws or other purposes not disclosed herein. Please refer to our Privacy Notice for Information we may collect about you. These obligations may arise at various times, including, but not limited to, client on-boarding, payment processing, and systemic checks for risk management. We reserve the right to lock, disable and/or close accounts as deemed necessary by us in order to comply with any such legal and regulatory obligations now existing or hereinafter imposed.

While we may, at our sole discretion, reverse an order or transaction under certain extraordinary conditions, a customer does not have a right to a reversal of an order or transaction.
5. Errors. In the event of an error, whether via our Services, in a purchase order confirmation, in processing your purchase, or otherwise, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your purchase transaction accordingly (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the purchase and refund any amount received. Your sole remedy in the event of an error is to cancel your purchase order and obtain a refund of any amount charged.

If you have an insufficient amount of Assets in your Bitlabcoin Account to complete a transaction via the Services, we may cancel the entire transaction or may fulfill a partial transaction using the amount of Assets currently available in your Bitlabcoin Account, less any fees owed to Payward in connection with our execution of the trade (as described in Section 9).

By placing an order to purchase Digital Assets or NFTs from Payward, you represent and warrant that (a) you are authorized to use the designated payment method and (b) you authorize us, or our payment processor, to charge your designated payment method.

You agree that Payward is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your trades or for collecting, reporting, withholding or remitting any taxes arising from any trades or transactions. If required by applicable law, Payward may withhold tax from any payments made to you and report such tax to the relevant taxing authority.
Bitlabcoin Account Assets
1. Funding your Bitlabcoin Account. In order to complete an offer, bid, order, trade or transaction via the Services (including orders and trades on the Bitlabcoin Digital Asset Exchange, as described in Section 7), you must first load Assets to your Bitlabcoin Account using one of the approved External Accounts identified via the Services. You may be required to verify that you control the External Account that you use to load Assets to your Bitlabcoin Account. As further described in Section 9, you may be charged fees by the External Account you use to transmit Assets to or from your Bitlabcoin Account. Payward is not responsible for any External Account fees or for the management and security of any External Account. You are solely responsible for your use of any External Account, and you agree to comply with all terms and conditions applicable to any External Account. The timing associated with a load transaction will depend in part upon the performance of third parties responsible for maintaining the applicable External Account, and Payward makes no guarantee regarding the amount of time it may take to load Assets into your Bitlabcoin Account.
  
  About Legal Tender Held In Your Bitlabcoin Account - Be advised that Legal Tender held in your Bitlabcoin account is exclusively for the purchase of Digital Assets or NFTs or for withdrawal to your approved External Account. Proceeds from the sale of Digital Assets or NFTs for Legal Tender will be credited to your Bitlabcoin Account, less any transactional or other fees or commissions. Bitlabcoin does not pay interest on free fiat balances held in your account.
  
  Digital Assets Only Accounts - If you have opened a Bitlabcoin Account designated as Digital Assets Only, you may only fund your account with Digital Assets. Bitlabcoin will not accept Legal Tender to fund a Digital Assets Only Account. If Legal Tender is transmitted to fund such an account, it will be returned to the sender, less applicable transfer fees.
2. Transferring Assets to an External Account. Provided that the balance of Assets in your Bitlabcoin Account is greater than any minimum balance requirements needed to satisfy any of your open positions, and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 7.11 and Annex G for the NFT Services, you may transfer any amount of Assets, up to the total amount of Assets in your Bitlabcoin Account in excess of such minimum balance requirements, and any unencumbered NFTs held in your Bitlabcoin Account, from your Bitlabcoin Account to an External Account, less any fees charged by Payward for such transactions (as described in the Fee Schedule at the time of your request to transfer Assets to an External Account).
3. Load/Transfer Authorization. When you request that we load Assets into your Bitlabcoin Account from your External Account or request that we transfer Assets to your External Account from your Bitlabcoin Account, you authorize Payward to execute such transaction via the Services.
4. Rejected Transactions. In some cases, the External Account may reject your Assets or may otherwise be unavailable to receive your Assets. You agree that you will not hold Payward liable for any damages resulting from such rejected transactions.
5. Ending Digital Asset Support. Bitlabcoin may, in its sole discretion, stop supporting any particular Digital Asset. If you do not remove such Digital Asset from your Bitlabcoin account before Bitlabcoin stops supporting such Digital Asset, then Bitlabcoin may, in its discretion, take any measures it deems appropriate to remove such Digital Asset from your Bitlabcoin account, including attempting to sell such Digital Assets at a cost to you.
6. L2 Funding Services. For certain Digital Assets (such as bitcoin), Bitlabcoin may facilitate your ability to use a “Layer 2” network (such as the Lightning Network) to deposit such Digital Assets to your Bitlabcoin Account and/or withdraw such Digital Assets to an External Account (the “L2 Funding Services”). Without limiting the generality of the remainder of this Section 6, you acknowledge and agree that:
  - Your use of the L2 Funding Services must comply with the relevant instructions provided to you through the Services. If Bitlabcoin cannot complete your transaction for any reason (such as the failure to respond to an order exceeding the minimum or maximum order size), your request to use the L2 Funding Services may be rejected or delayed without liability to Bitlabcoin ;
  - Bitlabcoin does not own or control, makes no representations or warranties regarding, and shall incur no liability arising out of or in connection with the performance, cost, availability or functionality of any Layer 2 network you use in connection with the L2 Funding Services. For example, you acknowledge and agree that, depending on the Layer 2 network, you may be unable to transfer Digital Assets you withdraw to an External Account using the L2 Funding Services back to the base “Layer 1” network (such as the underlying Bitcoin protocol) within a particular period or time, at a particular cost or, in the case of a network malfunction, exploit, Force Majeure event or other mitigating circumstances, at all; Bitlabcoin shall bear no liability to you or any other party in this instance; and
  - Layer 2 networks are experimental in nature and present risks associated with using novel distributed ledger technology-based networks, including, but not limited to, vulnerabilities in or unanticipated changes to the applicable Layer 2 network. Bitlabcoin will not be responsible for any harm occurring as a result of or related to such risks.
  - You represent and warrant that you have a sufficient understanding of any Layer 2 networks you utilize in connection with the L2 Funding Services (including, without limitation, functionality, usage, storage, transmission mechanisms, and other material characteristics of related Digital Assets and distributed ledger technology) to understand the terms of the L2 Funding Services, and to appreciate the related risks and implications.
7. Digital Asset Custody and Title. All Digital Assets held in your Bitlabcoin Account are custodial assets held by Payward for your benefit, as described in further detail below.
  1. Ownership. Title to Digital Assets shall at all times remain with you and shall not transfer to Payward, except as provided herein. All interests in Digital Assets we hold for Bitlabcoin Accounts are held for customers, are not property of Payward. As the owner of Digital Assets in your Bitlabcoin Account, you bear all risk of loss of such Digital Assets. None of the Digital Assets in your Bitlabcoin Account are the property of Payward. Payward does not represent or treat assets in your Bitlabcoin Account as belonging to Payward. However, a court may disagree with Payward’s treatment of your assets and subject them to claims of Payward’s creditors. Except as required by a facially valid court order, or except as provided herein, Payward will not sell, transfer, loan, hypothecate, or otherwise alienate Digital Assets in your Bitlabcoin Account unless instructed by you or as otherwise authorized by these Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding Section 7.11.2.2, Payward makes no warranty that Digital Assets in your Bitlabcoin Account (including Received Assets) are held by you free and clear of any security interest or other lien or encumbrance by Payward or others, including but not limited to Payward’s creditors. Ownership of Received Assets in margin transactions is further addressed in 7.11.3.1
  2. Control. You control the Digital Assets held in your Bitlabcoin Account. At any time, subject to outages, downtime, a court order, and/or other applicable policies, you may withdraw your Digital Assets by instructing Payward to debit the applicable Digital Asset from your Bitlabcoin Account and transfering the Digital Assets to an External Account. Control of Received Assets in margin transactions is further addressed in Section 7.11.3.2.
  3. Omnibus Accounts. In order to more securely and effectively custody assets, Payward may use shared blockchain addresses, controlled by Payward, to hold Digital Assets on behalf of users and/or held on behalf of Payward. We maintain separate ledgers for users’ Bitlabcoin Accounts and Payward accounts held by Payward for its own benefit.
  4. Fungibility of Certain Digital Assets. You acknowledge and agree that Payward may hold Digital Assets in your Bitlabcoin Account in a variety of different ways, including across multiple blockchain protocols, such as layer two networks, alternative layer one networks, or side chains. In connection with its holding of Digital Assets in your Bitlabcoin Account, Payward may transfer such Digital Assets off of the primary blockchain protocol and hold such Digital Assets on shared blockchain addresses, controlled by Payward, on alternative blockchain protocols in forms compatible with such protocols. You agree that all forms of the same Digital Asset that are held and made available across multiple blockchain protocols may be treated as fungible and the equivalent of each other, without regard to (a) whether any form of such Digital Asset is wrapped or (b) the blockchain protocol on which any form of such Digital Asset is stored.
8. Forks and Airdrops. As described in Section 6.7, you remain the lawful and beneficial owner of any Funds in your Bitlabcoin Account and the beneficial owner of additional assets resulting from any applicable (i) network fork that is supported by Bitlabcoin and (ii) airdrop or similar distribution of Digital Assets that is supported by Bitlabcoin ; provided, that Bitlabcoin retains sole discretion and has no obligation to support any particular forks, airdrops or similar distribution and such support remains in all instances subject to the Terms.
Orders and Trades

This Section 7 applies only when you use the Services to trade Digital Assets for Legal Tender or vice versa, or to trade Digital Assets for another form of Digital Assets (it does not apply to trades or transactions involving NFTs).
1. Authorization. When you submit a new order via the Services, you authorize Payward to execute a transaction in accordance with such order on a spot basis and charge you any applicable fees (as described in Section 9).
2. Independent relationship. You acknowledge and agree that: (a) Payward is not acting as your broker, intermediary, agent, or advisor or in any fiduciary capacity, and (b) no communication or information provided to you by Payward shall be considered or construed as investment, tax, or any other form of advice.
3. 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.
4. Market rates. If you select a market trade, Payward will attempt, on a commercially reasonable basis, to execute the trade on or close to the prevailing market exchange rate, as defined via the Services. You acknowledge and agree that the exchange rate information made available via our Services may differ from prevailing exchange rates made available via other sources outside of the Services.
5. Prices; Availability. All prices reflect the price applicable to the purchase or sale of Digital Assets or NFTs using the Legal Tender or alternative form of Digital Assets identified in your purchase order. All Digital Asset and NFT sales and purchases by Payward are subject to availability. We reserve the right to cancel or discontinue any sale or purchase of Digital Assets or NFTs with or without notice.
6. Purchase Quotes. Prior to completing your purchase or sale of Digital Assets or NFTs from Payward, we will provide notice of the type and amount of Digital Assets and/or NFTs you intend to purchase or sell and the amount of Funds or Digital Assets you will (a) be required to pay to Payward to receive such Digital Assets and/or NFTs or (b) will receive upon selling your Digital Assets and/or NFTs. You agree to comply with any terms and conditions provided within such notice to complete your purchase transaction and to pay any associated fees. Moreover, you acknowledge and agree that (i) Payward may, in some circumstances, earn a “spread” based on the difference between the price it buys or sells an Asset in a transaction with you and the price it is able to obtain in subsequent transactions with third parties, and (ii) such spread will not be reflected in the transaction fees you are charged at the time of your purchase or sale.
7. 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 trade is executed may be different from the prevailing rate indicated via the Services at the time of your order or trade. You understand that we are not liable for any such price fluctuations. In the event of a market disruption or Force Majeure event (as defined in Section 23), Payward may do one or more of the following: (a) suspend access to the Services; or (b) prevent you from completing any actions via the Services, including closing any open positions. Following any such event, when trading resumes, you acknowledge that prevailing market rates may differ significantly from the rates available prior to such event.
8. Trade Settlement. Subject to these Terms, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to settle trades on a spot basis within two (2) days of the date upon which users have agreed to execute a trade via the Services.
9. No Returns or Refunds. All sales and purchases of Digital Assets or NFTs by Payward via the Services are final. We do not accept any returns or provide refunds for your purchase of Digital Assets or NFTs from Payward, except as otherwise provided in these Terms.
10. Margin Transactions.
  - In accordance with and subject to this Section 7.11, as part of the Services you may receive from Payward extensions of margin in the form of Digital Assets or Legal Tender (“margin transactions”) to use to make spot purchases and sales of Digital Assets on the Bitlabcoin exchange.
  - You acknowledge, represent, warrant and agree that, prior to receiving an extension of margin from Payward, you will have read our Margin Disclosure Statement, understand the risks involved with margin transactions, and have determined that purchasing and selling Digital Assets with the use of margin is appropriate for you.
  - Margin transactions on the Bitlabcoin exchange are made available under the following terms:
    1. Margin Account. Payward agrees to establish for your benefit and in your name a platform for you to receive Legal Tender and Digital Assets (“Extended Funds”) from Payward to make spot trades through your Bitlabcoin Account (your “Margin Account”). Your Margin Account is a component of your Bitlabcoin Account.
    2. Margin Extensions and Trades.
      1. Subject to the Terms, Payward agrees to provide to you, and you may obtain from and return to Payward from time to time, Funds to support spot transactions (each such provision of Funds, a “Margin Extension”). No Margin Extension will occur unless you meet or exceed any minimum balance requirements imposed by Payward for your Margin Account. Moreover, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Payward is under no obligation to make any Margin Extensions to you and may decline a request to initiate a Margin Extension in its sole discretion.
      2. When you use a Margin Extension to effectuate a spot transaction, you are entering into a spot Digital Asset purchase or sale transaction. For example, you might use a U.S. dollar Margin Extension from Payward to buy bitcoin. In executing such spot transactions, Payward records the transfer of ownership of the applicable Funds by registering you as the owner of the Received Assets on Payward’s internal book-entry system.
      3. If you are not (or are no longer) eligible to receive Margin Extensions, each of your then-existing Margin Extensions will become due and must be terminated: (i) on or before the 28th day after such Margin Extension was made; or (ii) immediately upon loss of eligibility if such Margin Extension was made earlier than 28 days prior to the date on which you were no longer eligible. If you do not terminate your Margin Extensions in full within the required time period, then Payward may treat their Margin Obligation Period as expired, and the terms of Section 7.11.6 will apply.
    3. Received Assets. All Received Assets are custodial assets held by Payward for your benefit, as described in further detail below:
      1. Ownership. Title to Received Assets shall at all times remain with you and shall not transfer to Payward, except as provided herein. As the owner of the Received Assets in your Bitlabcoin Account, you bear all risk of loss of such Received Assets. None of the Received Assets in your Bitlabcoin Account are the property of Payward. Payward does not represent or treat Received Assets in your Bitlabcoin Account as belonging to Payward. Except as required by a facially valid court order, or except as provided herein, Payward will not sell, transfer, loan, hypothecate or otherwise alienate Received Assets in your Bitlabcoin Account unless instructed by you or as otherwise authorized by these Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the foregoing or Section 7.11.2.2, Payward makes no warranty that Digital Assets in your Bitlabcoin Account (including Received Assets) are held by you free and clear of any security interest or other lien or encumbrance by Payward or others, including but not limited to Payward's creditors.
      2. Control. You control the Received Assets held in your Bitlabcoin Account. At any time, subject to outages, downtime, a court order and/or other applicable policies and the restrictions described in Section 7.11.4, you may withdraw your Received Assets by instructing Payward to debit the applicable Digital Assets from your Bitlabcoin Account and transfering the Digital Assets to an External Account.
    4. Terminating Margin Extensions. To terminate a Margin Extension, you must transfer sufficient Funds from your Bitlabcoin Account to Payward through the Services. The Funds you use to terminate a Margin Extension must be the same asset type as the denomination of the Margin Extension (for example, you must terminate a bitcoin-denominated Margin Extension by transferring bitcoin from your Bitlabcoin Account to Payward through the Services). If received with respect to Extended Funds (and not Received Assets), you must return any incremental tokens generated as a result of a fork in the digital currency protocol of any Margin Extension or an airdrop of any tokens on the protocol of any Margin Extension. You may terminate a Margin Extension by either: (i) directing immediately available Funds in your Bitlabcoin Account to Payward; or (ii) selling requisite Collateral Assets (as defined below) or other assets in your Bitlabcoin Account on the Bitlabcoin exchange and applying the proceeds to the termination of the corresponding Margin Extension. Prior to satisfying the corresponding Margin Extension pursuant to the preceding sentence, Received Assets and requisite Collateral Assets may not be otherwise transferred to an External Account or traded on the Bitlabcoin exchange.
    5. Restrictions on your Bitlabcoin Account subject to satisfaction of your Margin Extension obligations.
      1. You agree to maintain in your Bitlabcoin Account, at all times during the term of a Margin Extension, a specified minimum amount of Funds approved by Payward to qualify as collateral ("Collateral Assets"). This minimum amount of Collateral Assets (the "Maintenance Margin Requirement"). This minimum amount of Collateral Assets (the “Maintenance Margin Requirement”) will be defined through the Services and you will be notified of any changes to the Maintenance Margin Requirement prior to those changes taking effect. Such notice shall indicate the effective date for those changes.
      2. A list of assets approved by Payward to be eligible as Collateral Assets will be defined through the Services and certain Digital Assets may only be valued as collateral on a discounted basis. You will be notified of any changes to the list of eligible Collateral Assets or discounts applied to the valuation thereof prior to those changes taking effect. Such notice shall indicate the effective date for those changes.
      3. For purposes of calculating your compliance with the Maintenance Margin Requirement, Payward will calculate (subject to any discounts) the market value of Collateral Assets on a continuous basis based on the prevailing value of each Digital Asset on one or more Digital Asset exchanges, including those operated by Payward. Payward has discretion to select Digital Asset exchanges for calculating this market value that Payward, in its reasonable judgment, believes offer a reasonable valuation of a Digital Asset.
      4. You hereby authorize and instruct Payward, in the event the value of your Collateral Assets falls below the Maintenance Margin Requirement, to, without further notice to you: (a) sell your Received Assets and apply the proceeds towards terminating your Margin Extension(s); and/or (b) liquidate such other Funds in your account in the manner and amount practicable, in Payward’s reasonable discretion, to terminate the Margin Extension either in full, or in an amount sufficient, in Payward’s reasonable discretion, to restore the value of your Collateral Assets to an amount equal to or exceeding the Maintenance Margin Requirement.
    6. Margin Obligation Period. The last day of a Margin Extension’s “Margin Obligation Period” is the date on which that Margin Extension is due and must be terminated. Generally, the “Margin Obligation Period” of a Margin Extension is the 365th day after the date that it is made. However, we may, in our sole discretion, modify any existing or future Margin Obligation Periods (i) in accordance with any information we make available on our website or provide to you in any other manner, or (ii) otherwise in connection with our exercise of any of our rights and obligations under these Terms. You may not request extensions to any Margin Obligation Period. We are not required to contact you prior to the expiration of the Margin Obligation Period. You hereby authorize and instruct Payward, in the event you do not terminate your Margin Extension in full prior to the expiration of the Margin Obligation Period, to, without further notice to you: (a) sell your Received Assets and apply the proceeds to the termination of the Margin Extension; and (b) liquidate such other Funds in your account, in the manner and amount practicable, in Payward’s reasonable discretion, to terminate the Margin Extension in full.
    7. Payment of Fees; Default.
      1. Upon your failure to satisfy the Maintenance Margin Requirement, to make any payment of fees when due, including Margin Fees, or to terminate a Margin Extension when required, or upon otherwise materially breaching this Section 7.11, your Margin Extensions shall be immediately due and must be terminated (and any accrued and unpaid fees thereon and any fees and costs of collection must be paid) and, to the extent permitted by applicable law and in addition to any other remedies available to it, Payward, in its sole discretion, may apply the proceeds from the sale of any Digital Assets in your Margin Account, whether such Digital Assets are considered Collateral Assets as defined in the Terms or not, first to the payment of any outstanding fees, commissions, charges or other expenses then due to Payward, and then to the termination of your Margin Extensions. If your Bitlabcoin Account balance becomes negative, you agree to pay the amount of Funds owed to Payward within 48 hours. You may not trade on a negative Bitlabcoin Account.
    8. Discontinuance of Margin Extension Services. In exercising its rights under Section 18, Payward may, irrespective of any Margin Obligation Period for any outstanding Margin Extension, cease making available Margin Extensions for certain Digital Assets or Legal Tender for any or all users, or otherwise terminate Margin Extensions for any or all users. You hereby authorize and instruct Payward, without notice to you, as of the date that Payward elects, to: (a) liquidate your Received Assets, in the manner practicable, in Payward's reasonable discretion, and apply the proceeds to the termination of the Margin Extension; and/or (b) liquidate such other Funds in your account, in the manner and amount practicable, in Payward's reasonable discretion, to terminate the Margin Extension in full.
11. Recurring Transactions. If you initiate recurring transactions, you authorize us to initiate recurring electronic purchases or sales using Funds in accordance with your selected transaction and any corresponding payment accounts, if applicable. This authorization will remain in full force and effect until you change your recurring transaction setting in your account settings, under “Manage” on your account screen. You may cancel any future or recurring charges that you schedule in your Bitlabcoin Account at least one business day prior to the date of the next scheduled transaction as changes in your recurring transaction settings may take up to one day. Your recurring transactions will occur based on your period selection (e.g., daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly), until you or Bitlabcoin cancels the recurring transaction pursuant to these Terms. Recurring transactions scheduled for the 29th, 30th, or 31st day of a month will be processed the earlier of the date scheduled or on the last day of the applicable month. For example, recurring transactions scheduled for the 31st will be processed on the 30th in April, June, September, and November. We will attempt to execute your recurring transaction on the day that you select, however transaction times may vary. You understand and agree that the amount of any digital asset you purchase or sell in each recurring transaction will depend on the market price at the time of the transaction and will only be determined once the transaction is executed. If Bitlabcoin cannot complete your transaction for any reason (such as price movement, failure of the Bitlabcoin exchange to respond, or a transaction not meeting the minimum or exceeding the maximum transaction size), Bitlabcoin may reject the transaction and notify you of such rejection. Bitlabcoin bears no liability for rejecting any recurring transaction. You should regularly check the status of your recurring transactions. Bitlabcoin will not verify the information or details of your recurring transactions. You agree that the information and details of your recurring transactions as provided by you are accurate and complete and as such may be treated and acted upon by Bitlabcoin .
  
  If you select a credit card or wallet as your payment method for a recurring transaction, and such transaction falls on a weekend or holiday, or after business hours, the debit may be executed on the next business day, although the transaction fees at the time of the regularly-scheduled transaction will apply. If your payment method fails we will notify you of cancellation of the transaction and may use the remedies set forth in these Terms to recover any amount owed to Bitlabcoin . You agree to keep your payment method updated as long as you have recurring transactions active or scheduled. Bitlabcoin may, at any time and without liability, suspend or delay recurring transactions without notice or terminate recurring transactions by providing notice to you, unless such notice is prohibited by law. All recurring transactions are also subject to the ACH & CC Funding Methods Addendum where applicable.
Risk Disclosure
1. Digital Asset trading risks. The risk of loss in trading Digital Asset pairs, and Digital Asset and Legal Tender pairs can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources, and you should know the following points:
  1. You may sustain a total loss of the Funds in your Bitlabcoin Account, and, in some cases, you may incur losses beyond such Funds.
  2. 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.
  3. Placing contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.
  4. All Digital Asset positions involve risk, and a "spread" position may not be less risky than an outright "long" or "short" position.
  5. ALL THE POINTS NOTED ABOVE APPLY TO ALL DIGITAL ASSET PAIR AND DIGITAL ASSET AND LEGAL TENDER PAIR TRADING. THIS BRIEF STATEMENT CANNOT DISCLOSE ALL THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE TRADES.
2. Internet transmission risks. You acknowledge that there are risks associated with utilizing an Internet-based platform such as the Services, including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware, software, and Internet connections. You acknowledge that Payward shall not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when trading via or otherwise utilizing the Services, however caused.
3. Asset Transmission Risk. You agree that there may be operational issues, human error, malicious conduct (such as fraud or cyber attack) and other risks associated with the transmission of Digital Assets, NFTs, and Legal Tender, which may delay, prevent, misdirect, or otherwise frustrate your ability to transfer Digital Assets, NFTs, and Legal Tender to or from Payward, the Services, or the Payward websites and mobile applications. You agree that your Digital Assets and NFTs are not deposited in your Bitlabcoin Account or with Payward until they are confirmed on the blockchain as transmitted to Payward, and that Payward is not responsible for any actions by you or third parties that delay, prevent, misdirect, or otherwise frustrate the deposit, withdraw, or transfer of Digital Assets, NFTs, or Legal Tender to or from Payward, the Services, or the Payward websites and mobile applications, or for any losses or fees resulting therefrom. You further agree that Payward is not obligated to assist or support you in any fashion with any unsuccessful transmission of Digital Assets, NFTs, or Legal Tender.
4. Underlying Protocol Risk. We do not own or control the underlying software protocols of Digital Asset networks that govern the operation of Digital Assets and NFTs. In general, the underlying protocols are open source, and anyone can use, copy, modify or distribute them. We are not responsible for the operation of the underlying network protocols, and we make no guarantees regarding their security, functionality or availability.
5. Discrepancy. The Services user interface may display incorrect information or information that differs from our internal books and records. In the event of any conflict, the contents of our internal books records shall prevail.
6. Assumption of risk. You acknowledge and agree that you shall access and use the Services at your own risk, including but not limited to the risks described in this Section 8 and the remainder of these Terms.
Fees
1. Third-Party Fees. In addition to the Fees, your External Account may impose fees in connection with your use of your designated External Account via the Services (including without limitation fees collected through a Digital Asset/NFT Account in order to process the requested transaction on the applicable blockchain network). Any fees imposed by your External Account provider will not be reflected on the transaction screens containing information regarding applicable Fees imposed by Payward. You are solely responsible for paying any fees imposed by an External Account provider.
2. Payment of Fees. You authorize us, or our designated payment processor, to charge or deduct your Bitlabcoin Account Funds for any applicable Fees owed in connection with trades, transactions, and actions you complete via the Services.
3. Collection-Related Costs. If you fail to pay Fees or any other amounts owed to Payward under these Terms and Payward refers your account(s) to a third party for collection, then Payward will charge you the lesser of an 18% collection fee or the maximum percentage permitted by applicable law, to cover Payward's collection-related costs.
Electronic Notices
1. Consent to Electronic Delivery. You agree to receive electronically all communications, agreements, documents, receipts, notices, tax forms (e.g. all forms of IRS Form 1099, including 1099-MISC, 1099-B, 1099-K, 1099-INT, 1099-NEC), and disclosures (collectively, "Communications") that Payward provides in connection with your Bitlabcoin Account and/or use of the Payward Services. You agree that Payward may provide these Communications to you by posting them via the Services, by emailing them to you at the email address you provide, and/or by sending an SMS or text message to a mobile phone number that you provide. Your carrier's normal, messaging, data and other rates and fees may apply to any mobile Communications. You should maintain copies of electronic Communications by printing a paper copy or saving an electronic copy. You may also contact us through support https://support.Bitlabcoin .com to request additional electronic copies of Communications or, for a fee, paper copies of Communications (as described below).
2. Hardware and Software Requirements. In order to access and retain electronic Communications, you will need a computer with an Internet connection that has a current web browser with cookies enabled and 128-bit encryption. For certain Communications, such as tax forms we’ll need to send to you, you will also need software to view PDF files. You will also need to have a current and valid email address and mobile phone number on file with Payward and have sufficient storage space to save past Communications or an installed printer to print them.
3. Withdrawal of Consent. You may withdraw your consent to receive electronic Communications by sending a withdrawal notice to support https://support.Bitlabcoin .com. If you decline or withdraw consent to receive electronic Communications, Payward may suspend or terminate your use of the Services. Additionally, any withdrawal of consent to receive electronic Communications shall act as your affirmation that your street address on file is current and up-to-date, and any Communications we are required to provide to you may be sent in paper form to that physical address subject to the terms of 10.4 below. Unsubscribe requests may take up to 10 business days to process from the date the request is received.
4. Requesting Paper Copies. If, after you consent to receive Communications electronically, you would like a paper copy of a Communication we previously sent you, you may request a copy within 30 days after the date we provided the Communication to you by contacting support https://support.Bitlabcoin .com. In order for us to send paper copies to you, you must have a current street address on file with Payward. Any request for a paper copy of a Communication is limited to that individual piece of Communication and shall not affect your consent to receive all other Communications electronically, as set forth in section 10.1 above. Please note that Bitlabcoin operates exclusively online and it is very burdensome for us to produce paper copies of Communications. Therefore, if you request paper copies, you understand and agree that Payward may charge you a processing fee, in the amount described in the Fee Schedule, for each page of Communication requested.
5. Updating Contact Information. It is your responsibility to keep your email address, mobile phone number, and street address on file with Payward up to date so that Payward can communicate with you electronically. You understand and agree that if Payward sends you an electronic Communication but you do not receive it because your email address or mobile phone number on file is incorrect or out of date, our ability to contact you at the email address and/or mobile phone number is blocked by your service provider, or you are otherwise unable to receive electronic Communications, Payward will be deemed to have provided the Communication to you whether or not you actually received the Communication. Please note that if you use a spam filter that blocks or re-routes emails from senders not listed in your email address book, you must add Payward to your email address book so that you will be able to receive the Communications we send to you. You can update your email address, mobile phone number or street address at any time by logging into your Bitlabcoin Account or by sending such information to support https://support.Bitlabcoin .com. If your email address or mobile phone number becomes invalid such that electronic Communications sent to you by Payward are returned, Payward may deem your account to be inactive, and you may not be able to complete any transaction via our Services until we receive a valid, working email address or mobile phone number from you.
Unclaimed Property

If for any reason Payward is holding Assets in your Bitlabcoin Account on your behalf, and Payward is unable to return your Assets to your designated External Account after a period of inactivity, then Payward may report and remit such Assets in accordance with applicable state unclaimed property laws.

We may terminate your access to the Services in our sole discretion, immediately and without prior notice, and delete or deactivate your Bitlabcoin Account and all related information and files in such account without liability to you, including, for instance, in the event that you breach any of these Terms. In the event of termination, Payward will attempt to return any Assets stored in your Bitlabcoin Account not otherwise owed to Payward, unless Payward believes you have committed fraud, negligence or other misconduct.
Discontinuance of Services

We may, in our sole discretion and without liability to you, with or without prior notice and at any time, modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any portion of our Services.
Disclaimer of Warranties

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE TERMS, OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM, AND YOU WAIVE, ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT AS TO OUR SERVICES, INCLUDING THE INFORMATION, CONTENT AND MATERIALS CONTAINED THEREIN.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT INFORMATION YOU STORE OR TRANSFER THROUGH OUR SERVICES MAY BECOME IRRETRIEVABLY LOST OR CORRUPTED OR TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE DUE TO A VARIETY OF CAUSES, INCLUDING SOFTWARE FAILURES, PROTOCOL CHANGES BY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, INTERNET OUTAGES, FORCE MAJEURE EVENT OR OTHER DISASTERS INCLUDING THIRD PARTY DDOS ATTACKS, SCHEDULED OR UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, OR OTHER CAUSES EITHER WITHIN OR OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP AND MAINTAINING DUPLICATE COPIES OF ANY INFORMATION YOU STORE OR TRANSFER THROUGH OUR SERVICES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied terms in contracts with consumers, so some or all of the disclaimers in this section may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability

(a) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PAYWARD, OUR DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF PROFITS OR LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE OUR SERVICES OR THE PAYWARD MATERIALS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY OR RESULTING FROM RELIANCE BY ANY USER ON ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM PAYWARD, OR THAT RESULT FROM MISTAKES, OMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS, DELETION OF FILES OR EMAIL, ERRORS, DEFECTS, VIRUSES, DELAYS IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION OR ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, WHETHER OR NOT RESULTING FROM A FORCE MAJEURE EVENT, COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO PAYWARD'S RECORDS, PROGRAMS OR SERVICES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the limitations of this section may not apply to you.

(b) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF PAYWARD (INCLUDING OUR DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS), WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED), PRODUCT LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICES OR TO THESE TERMS EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY YOU TO PAYWARD FOR THE APPLICABLE SERVICES DURING THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE OF ANY CLAIM GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.
Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Payward (and each of our officers, directors, members, employees, agents and affiliates) from any claim, demand, action, damage, loss, cost or expense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out or relating to (a) your use of, or conduct in connection with, our Services; (b) any Feedback you provide; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any rights of any other person or entity. If you are obligated to indemnify us, we will have the right, in our sole discretion, to control any action or proceeding (at our expense) and determine whether we wish to settle it.
Applicable Law; Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US AND IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.

You and Payward agree to arbitrate any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Services, except for disputes in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. You and Payward agree to notify each other in writing of any dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises. Notice to Payward shall be sent to [email protected]. You and Payward further agree: (a) to attempt informal resolution prior to any demand for arbitration; (b) that any arbitration will occur in San Francisco, California; (c) that arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS; and (d) that the state or federal courts in San Francisco, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals of an arbitration award and over any suit between the parties not subject to arbitration. Other than class procedures and remedies discussed below, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. Any dispute between the parties will be governed by these Terms and the laws of the State of California and applicable United States law, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you and Payward will not commence against the other a class action, class arbitration or representative action or proceeding.
Miscellaneous
1. Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence. These Terms contain the entire agreement, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings between the parties regarding the Services. These Terms do not alter the terms or conditions of any other electronic or written agreement you may have with Payward for the Services or for any other Payward product or service or otherwise. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any other agreement you may have with Payward, the terms of that other agreement will control only if these Terms are specifically identified and declared to be overridden by such other agreement.

We reserve the right to make changes or modifications to these Terms from time to time, in our sole discretion, by posting the amended Terms via the applicable Payward websites and mobile applications or by communicating these changes through any written or other contact method we have established with you and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms. The amended Terms will be effective immediately thereafter and your use of the Services following the date on which such amended Terms are published will constitute consent to such amendments.
3. Waiver. Our failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under these Terms shall not operate as a waiver thereof.
4. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any of these Terms shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other of these Terms, all of which shall remain in full force and effect.
5. Force Majeure Events. Payward shall not be liable for (1) any inaccuracy, error, delay in, or omission of (i) any information, or (ii) the transmission or delivery of information; (2) any loss or damage arising from any event beyond Payward's reasonable control, including but not limited to flood, extraordinary weather conditions, earthquake, or other act of God, fire, war, insurrection, riot, labor dispute, accident, action of government, communications, power failure, or equipment or software malfunction or any other cause beyond Payward's reasonable control (each, a "Force Majeure Event").

We reserve the right to lock, disable and/or close accounts under review for sanctions compliance violations.

You also agree that Payward software will not be used, exported, reexported or transferred for any purpose prohibited by U.S. or local export or import control laws and regulations.

Margin Disclosure Statement

We are furnishing this document to you to provide some basic facts about purchasing digital assets or legal tender on margin, and to alert you to the risks involved with trading assets in a margin account. Before trading assets in a margin account, you should carefully review this margin disclosure statement. Please contact us through support https://support.Bitlabcoin .com regarding any questions or concerns you may have with your margin accounts.

When you purchase digital assets for legal tender or vice versa, you may pay in full with your own funds or by posting assets in your account as collateral, with funds provided by Payward to you pursuant to an extension of margin. If the collateral supporting your extension of margin declines in value by an amount specified by Payward, you authorize Payward to issue a margin call and/or sell assets in your account, in order to maintain equity in the account that meets or exceeds the minimum maintenance margin requirement.

It is important that you fully understand the unique risks involved in trading assets using extensions of margin before determining whether such trading is appropriate for you. These risks include the following:

Using margin to support spot transactions poses a high degree of financial risk and is not suitable for everyone. The use of leverage can work against you as well as for you and can lead to large losses as well as gains. You should examine your financial objectives, financial resources and risk tolerance to determine whether receiving extensions of margin secured by the assets in your Bitlabcoin Account is appropriate for you.
You can rapidly lose all of the funds you deposit for trading and may lose more funds than you deposit in your Bitlabcoin account. The prices of digital assets are highly volatile and a decline in the value of assets that are purchased or sold on margin may require you to provide additional funds to us, on short notice or with no notice, to avoid the automatic liquidation of assets in your account(s).
You authorize us to sell assets in your account without further notice to you. If the equity in your account falls below our maintenance margin requirements, you authorize Payward to sell assets in your account to cover the margin deficiency. You will be responsible for any shortfall in the account after such a sale. As Digital Asset markets are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, margin calls and liquidations may occur at any time, including outside of normal business hours.
You authorize us to sell your assets without contacting you. Do not mistakenly believe that we must contact you for a margin call to be valid, and that we may not liquidate assets in your account unless we have contacted you first. This is not the case. We will attempt to notify you of margin calls, but we are not required to do so. Moreover, even if we have contacted you and provided a specific date by which you must meet a margin call, we may still immediately sell assets in your account without notice to you and without waiting for the specific date to meet a margin call.
We can increase maintenance margin requirements with advance notice. The maintenance margin requirements may result in the issuance of a maintenance margin call. Your failure to satisfy the call may cause us to liquidate or sell assets in your account(s). We are not responsible for delays in the release of funds intended to satisfy the call, including but not limited to internal holds on funds exceeding verification limits, delays in the transfer of funds from external accounts maintained by third-party financial institutions, and failure of proper routing of funds through financial networks. The funds will not count towards meeting the maintenance margin requirements until the funds are released.
You are not entitled to an extension of time on a margin call. While Payward might grant you an extension of time to meet margin requirements under certain conditions, you do not have a right to the extension.

Payward Trading will not be able to attempt to unbond Bonded DOT/KSM prior to its Expiration Date.

Candidates may offer supporters who bond DOT/KSM to the Candidate’s PSA module an amount of Reward Tokens. By electing to use the Bonding Services, you irrevocably authorize and instruct Payward Trading to receive any corresponding Reward Tokens on your behalf.

Bitlabcoin reserves the right to require that your Bitlabcoin Account holds sufficient Funds to cover 1:1 any deposit or Digital Asset or NFT purchase using ACH or credit card for 120 days post deposit (“Unsecured Deposit Hold’). Your Bitlabcoin Account will indicate if such Unsecured Deposit Hold is required. We may permit you to use such Funds to buy, sell, or trade, or in connection with Margin Trading, but you may not withdraw such Funds prior to the resolution of the Unsecured Deposit Hold.

1.6 Plaid ACH Funding. If you are based in the United States, you agree that, if applicable, with your prior authorization, Bitlabcoin may use Plaid, Inc. (“Plaid”) to connect your Bitlabcoin Account with your bank account (each bank account connected being a Verified External Account). You are able to connect your Bitlabcoin Account to your bank account via Plaid on the “Funding” page of our website. Your authorization to initiate debits and credits on bank account(s) that you have connected on the “Funding” page of our website will remain in full force and effect until you terminate the authorization by deleting your bank account from the “manage deposit accounts” section of the “Funding” page of our website.

It is your responsibility to verify your bank account, and confirm adequate funds are available prior to approving a transaction. Information you share with Plaid is treated in accordance with its End User Privacy Policy, available at https://plaid.com/legal/#end-user-privacy-policy (“Plaid’s Privacy Policy”). You agree that the terms and conditions of Plaid’s Privacy Policy will govern Plaid’s use of such information, and by using Plaid you agree to the terms and conditions of Plaid’s Privacy Policy. You expressly grant Plaid the right, power, and authority to access and transmit your information as reasonably necessary for Plaid to provide its services to you in connection with your use of the Bitlabcoin Exchange.

Annex G

ADDENDUM: NFT SERVICES

This Annex G (this “Addendum”) sets forth additional terms governing your use of the NFT Services (as defined herein). It incorporates by reference and supplements the Terms of Service (the “Terms”).

You acknowledge and agree that the Terms are and remain entirely binding on you and applicable to your use of the NFT Services. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Terms. In the event of a conflict between the Terms and this Addendum with respect to the NFT Services, the terms of this Addendum will control.

Bitlabcoin MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE NFT SERVICES ARE APPROPRIATE FOR USE IN ALL LOCATIONS, OR THAT THE TRANSACTIONS AND SERVICES DESCRIBED HEREIN ARE AVAILABLE OR APPROPRIATE FOR ENTRY INTO OR USE IN ALL JURISDICTIONS OR BY ALL PARTIES. YOU SHOULD INFORM YOURSELF AS TO THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND TAX CONSEQUENCES OF USING THE NFT SERVICES WITHIN ALL JURISDICTIONS APPLICABLE TO YOU. Bitlabcoin IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF PARTICIPATING IN THE NFT SERVICES.

1. The NFT Services. The “NFT Services” refers to the platform through which Bitlabcoin may provide the ability to view, search, explore, collect, showcase, bid on, offer, trade, buy, sell, transfer, and/or otherwise interact with NFTs, subject to the terms and conditions of this Annex G (this “Addendum”). For the avoidance of doubt, the NFT Services are “Services” under the Terms and are offered to you by Payward Trading Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company.

2. Search, Rankings, Rarity Scores and Other Information.

(a) Search and sorting. As part of the NFT Services, you may utilize Bitlabcoin ’s various search and sorting functionalities to explore different NFTs, NFT creators, and collections of NFTs. Bitlabcoin may implement parameters that affect search and sort results; accordingly, a particular NFT listing may not appear in some search and browse results regardless of the search inquiry or sort option(s) chosen by the user. We reserve the right to adjust these search and sorting parameters at any time in our sole discretion, without notice, including, without limitation, through automated means.

(b) Rarity scores and rankings. The NFT Services may provide proprietarily generated rarity scores and rankings of NFTs. We do not make any guarantees or warranties regarding the accuracy, consistency, or value of any of the scores or rankings on the NFT Services, all of which are subject to the disclaimers set forth in Section 9 of this Addendum. Rarity rankings are inherently subjective and are not intended to be statements of fact. We reserve the right to change, adjust and/or remove the scores and rankings at any time in our sole discretion, without notice, including, without limitation, through automated means. You agree not to use any of the rarity scores or rankings outside of the NFT Services.

(c) Other information. The NFT Services help you explore NFTs created by third parties using a number of different blockchains. Through these NFT Services, you may view descriptive, illustrative and other information about NFTs and the content associated with those NFTs. That information is, or is based on, information provided by third parties. You acknowledge and agree that (i) Bitlabcoin does not make any representations or warranties about this information (including, without limitation, the correctness, completeness, reliability or content of such information), which is not intended to and shall not be relied on, and which may be inaccurate and subject to change, and (ii) this information is made available by us on an “as is” basis, without endorsement or verification, and we undertake no obligation to (and may not) investigate the merits or accuracy of it.

3. User Content; Profile, Display, and Licensing.

(a) User Content. The NFT Services may allow (i) NFT collectors and other users to post certain information about themselves or their NFTs, link to other websites, and display NFTs they own and the content and data linked to or associated therewith, including any data, text, images, audio, video, document, file or other material linked to or associated with such NFTs (collectively, “Collector Content”), and (ii) artists or creators of NFTs (“Creators”) to post information about themselves or their NFTs, link to other websites, and display their NFT creations and content and data linked to or associated therewith, including any data, text, images, audio, video, document, file or other material linked to or associated with such NFTs (“Creator Content” and, collectively with Collector Content, “User Content”).

(b) Responsibility for User Content. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for any User Content you submit, post, upload, provide, contribute, and/or authorize and/or instruct us to post or make available through the NFT Services (“User Submitted Content”) and that you, not Bitlabcoin , have full responsibility for such User Submitted Content, including its legality, reliability, accuracy, and appropriateness. Without limitation, you represent, warrant and covenant that (i) you currently, and at all times during which your User Submitted Content is on the NFT Services you will, own and/or have licenses to all intellectual property rights in and to your User Submitted Content, and have all other consents and permissions relating to your User Submitted Content, necessary to grant to Bitlabcoin the rights and licenses set forth in Section 3(d) of this Addendum, (ii) all of your User Submitted Content does and will comply with the Terms and this Addendum, and (iii) your User Submitted Content and the use thereof by Bitlabcoin , the NFT Services and users of the NFT Services as contemplated by this Addendum and the Terms do not and will not infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights and do not and will not violate any applicable law, rule or regulation. We are not and will not be liable to you or any third party for the content, accuracy, or appropriateness of any User Submitted Content.

(c) Direction to display User Content. By using the NFT Services in conjunction with posting, promoting, displaying, storing, soliciting offers for, or selling an NFT, or by creating, transferring to or holding on the NFT Services or in a web3 Wallet (as defined in Section 4(a) of this Addendum) any NFT, you authorize and instruct Bitlabcoin to include such NFTs and all related User Content on the NFT Services and other NFT Platforms (as defined below) as User Submitted Content, and you grant to us a license to such User Submitted Content pursuant to the terms of Section 3(d) below.

(d) License to User Submitted Content. You grant to Bitlabcoin and our affiliates and our and their respective licensees, successors, and assigns a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), transferable right and license to: (i) copy, reproduce, display, list, score, rank, modify, perform, publish, broadcast, link to, and otherwise disclose to third parties any User Submitted Content on or in connection with the NFT Platforms; (ii) use on or in connection with the NFT Platforms any names, user names, pseudonyms, smart contract or wallet addresses, trademarks or logos associated with any User Submitted Content; and (iii) use all User Submitted Content to operate the NFT Platforms, for our and our affiliates’ other businesses, analytics purposes, and to contact you.

(e) Other Bitlabcoin NFT Platforms. You acknowledge that Bitlabcoin or our affiliates may, now or in the future, own and/or operate, in addition to the NFT Services, one or more other service(s), marketplace(s) or platforms on which NFTs and their associated content and information are displayed, listed, stored, custodied, traded, posted, linked to, or otherwise engaged with (together with the NFT Services, the “NFT Platforms”). You acknowledge and agree that Bitlabcoin and our affiliates may synchronize (including, without limitation, using automated means) User Submitted Content across one or more NFT Platforms, and that the rights and licenses granted by you pursuant to Section 3(d) of this Addendum extend to all NFT Platforms, whether such NFT Platforms are NFT Platforms now or become NFT Platforms in the future.

(f) Profile. If you choose to create a public facing profile through the NFT Services, any content you post through your profile will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. We reserve the right to reclaim usernames without liability to you in our sole discretion and we may, in our sole discretion, delete your profile if we deem your username or the content you post to be offensive or inappropriate, or to otherwise violate the terms of this Addendum or the Terms.

4. Storage and web3 Connectivity.

(a) General. You may use your NFTs through the NFT Services by either (i) depositing such NFTs for storage by us on your behalf, by transferring them to your Bitlabcoin Account, or (ii) by connecting a supported, self-hosted wallet (such as your Metamask wallet) that allows you to access the NFTs in an External Account that you control (a “web3 Wallet”).

(b) Risks and disclaimer. Whether you choose to use your NFTs on the NFT Services by transferring your NFTs to deposit them in your Bitlabcoin Account or by connecting a web3 Wallet, you acknowledge there are risks associated with storing NFTs on or connecting your web3 Wallet to the NFT Services, including, but not limited to, the risk of malicious software introduction, the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to your third-party wallet or account, and the risk of theft of NFTs. Certain technological difficulties experienced by Bitlabcoin may also prevent the access to or use of your NFTs.

With respect to the use of web3 Wallets, Bitlabcoin accepts no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a web3 Wallet and makes no representations or warranties regarding how the NFT Services will operate with any specific web3 Wallet. You are solely responsible for keeping your web3 Wallet secure and you should never share your web3 Wallet credentials, private key or seed phrase with anyone. If you discover an issue related to your web3 Wallet, please contact your wallet provider. Likewise, you are solely responsible for your Bitlabcoin Account and any associated web3 Wallet and we are not, and will not be, liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Bitlabcoin Account or as a result of your Bitlabcoin Account or web3 Wallet being compromised.

(c) Ownership and risk of loss. Section 6.7 of the Terms, which applies to Digital Assets, also applies to NFTs in your Bitlabcoin Account. Additionally, by using this platform, you represent and agree that you are the lawful owner of any NFT that you (a) attempt to sell on this platform, (b) store in your Bitlabcoin Account, or (c) store in a connected web3 Wallet. At no point shall ownership of any such NFTs transfer to Bitlabcoin . You bear the risks of loss for any such NFTs, regardless of where you store those NFTs. Except as required by a facially valid court order, or except as provided herein, Bitlabcoin will not sell, transfer, loan or otherwise alienate your NFTs unless instructed by you or as otherwise authorized by this Addendum or the Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, Bitlabcoin makes no representations to any party that any NFT is free and clear of any security interest or other lien or encumbrance.

(d) Control. Section 6.7 of the Terms, which applies to Digital Assets, also applies to NFTs in your Bitlabcoin Account. Additionally, you control the NFTs held in your Bitlabcoin Account. At any time, subject to outages, downtime, this Addendum, the Terms, and other applicable policies, you may withdraw your NFTs from your Bitlabcoin Account by transferring them to an External Account. Similarly, we do not control the NFTs held in your External Accounts and, subject to outages, downtime, this Addendum, the Terms, and other applicable policies, you may disconnect a web3 Wallet from the NFT Services at any time.

(e) Supplemental benefits and access. The NFT Services may not support all features, functionalities or benefits of each NFT that is supported by the NFT Services (“Supported NFTs”), and may not, for example, include support for any other protocols and/or functionality which supplement or interact with the Supported NFTs. Such exclusions may include, but are not limited to, ‘forked’ protocols, airdropped Digital Assets or NFTs, or other functionality such as staking, protocol governance, access to community perks, and/or any smart contract functionality, which may supplement or interact with a Supported NFT (“Supplemental Benefits”). Determinations whether to support any Supplemental Benefit shall be made by Bitlabcoin in our sole discretion, and without liability to us. Bitlabcoin shall not be responsible or liable for your inability to receive or enjoy Supplemental Benefits of your NFTs during the time when they are stored in a Bitlabcoin Account.

5. Marketplace.

(a) General. Through the NFT Services, Bitlabcoin provides an administrative platform that facilitates clients’ ability to offer, bid on, buy and sell NFTs from one another or from Bitlabcoin using a variety of pricing and transaction formats (the “NFT Marketplace”). When you purchase an NFT on the NFT Marketplace, Bitlabcoin facilitates the transfer of ownership of the applicable NFT from the counterparty to you by registering you as the owner of the purchased NFT on Bitlabcoin ’s internal book-entry system.

(b) Authorization. When you submit an offer, bid, purchase, sale, or transfer request via the NFT Marketplace, you authorize Bitlabcoin to execute the transaction and charge you any applicable fees (as described in the Terms).

(c) Independent relationship. You acknowledge and agree that (i) Bitlabcoin is not acting as your broker, intermediary, agent, or advisor or in any fiduciary capacity, and (ii) no communication or information provided to you by Bitlabcoin shall be considered or construed as investment, tax, or any other form of advice in connection with your use of the NFT Services.

(d) Valuations. From time to time Bitlabcoin may display estimates of the value of NFTs on the NFT Marketplace, including but not limited to: (i) the floor price of an NFT collection, which is approximated by reference to the lowest priced NFT sold or offered for sale within that collection; (ii) the estimated value of an NFT listed on the NFT Marketplace; and (iii) the aggregate estimated value of NFTs in your Bitlabcoin Account or web3 Wallet. You understand that the value of NFTs is subjective, that these estimated values are provided for illustrative purposes only, and that this information is not a guarantee of execution at that, or any, price. Moreover, you understand and agree that this information may differ from prevailing sale prices made available via other sources outside of the NFT Marketplace and are not guarantees of the sale prices that will actually be available on the NFT Marketplace.

(e) Payment method-specific additional terms. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) when using Instant Buy/Sell Services on the NFT Marketplace, you are subject to the terms detailed in Annex E (the Instant Buy/Sell Addendum), and (ii) when using ACH and credit card funding methods on the NFT Marketplace, you are subject to the terms detailed in Annex F (the ACH and CC Addendum).

(f) Transfer confirmation. Once the NFT Marketplace executes a transfer of ownership of the applicable NFT, a confirmation will be electronically made available via the NFT Services detailing the particulars of the transfer. You acknowledge and agree that the failure of the NFT Services to provide such confirmation shall not prejudice or invalidate the terms of such transfer.

(g) Creator Earnings. Bitlabcoin may, in its discretion, elect to collect and facilitate the payment of a portion of NFT sale or resale proceeds to parties that are not sellers or resellers of the NFT (“Creator Earnings''). Such parties are expressly not third party beneficiaries under this Addendum. With respect to any sale of an NFT on the NFT Marketplace, Bitlabcoin may, in its discretion, elect to (i) either (a) deduct, from the sale proceeds of such NFT that otherwise would be paid to the seller of such NFT, the Creator Earnings that Bitlabcoin determines are applicable to such sale, or (b) collect from the seller of such NFT the Creator Earnings that Bitlabcoin determines are applicable to such sale, and (ii) pay such Creator Earnings to eligible recipients as contemplated by Section 5(h) below. While Bitlabcoin may consider publicly accessible sources such as the data associated with a given NFT’s underlying smart contract, Third-Party NFT Purchase Terms, blockchain transaction histories, and other information in determining the amount, timing, and beneficiaries of Creator Earnings, all such determinations shall be made by Bitlabcoin in its sole discretion. Where Creator Earnings are collected in the form of transaction fees or deductions from sale proceeds on the NFT Marketplace, you will be informed of the applicable amount of Creator Earnings to be collected through the NFT Services. Bitlabcoin will not be liable for any Creator Earnings deducted or collected in connection with the sale of an NFT, and will not have any obligation to any party to collect or remit Creator Earnings.

(h) Claiming Creator Earnings. In order to claim Creator Earnings, eligible persons must complete the actions requested via the NFT Services, which may include creating a Bitlabcoin Account and/or providing any information requested by Bitlabcoin in connection with such account creation and/or claims. By claiming any Creator Earnings with respect to an NFT resale, you (i) represent that you have the right to receive such Creator Earnings with respect to such NFT resale, and (ii) agree that if Bitlabcoin determines that any Creator Earnings were erroneously paid to you, you will promptly return such Creator Earnings to Bitlabcoin .

(i) NFT-specific terms and conditions.

(i) NFT sellers. When you sell an NFT on the NFT Marketplace, you represent and warrant that you have all right and title to such NFT and that you have the right to display and sell such NFT on the NFT Marketplace. If you are the creator of such NFT, you agree that you will not replicate, in its entirety, the content incorporated into the NFT for the creation of additional NFTs. If you purchased an NFT from a third party prior to depositing the NFT into your Bitlabcoin Account, you agree that by selling the NFT on the NFT Marketplace you are selling all of your right and title to such NFT.

(ii) NFT buyers. When you purchase an NFT on the NFT Marketplace, your rights and obligations with respect to such NFT, and the content and benefits associated with such NFT, may be subject to and governed by third-party terms and conditions under which the seller is reselling the NFT or the original minter of the NFT initially distributed the NFT (the “Third-Party NFT Purchase Terms”). Bitlabcoin is not a party to any such Third-Party NFT Purchase Terms, which are solely between the buyer and the seller (or the original minter, as applicable). It is your sole responsibility to, prior to purchasing any NFT, independently identify, read and understand the Third-Party NFT Purchase Terms that apply to such NFT (e.g., by viewing such Third-Party NFT Purchase Terms on the official website of the developer, content creator and/or minter).

(j) Smart contracts. You acknowledge that your interactions with an NFT and the behavior of an NFT may be dependent on, or dictated by, a third-party smart contract that governs the NFT. You are solely responsible for understanding the applicable smart contract and verifying whether it operates as you expect it to. Bitlabcoin shall not be responsible or liable for any defects in, or unexpected behavior of, any smart contract associated with an NFT, or any losses that you suffer as a result thereof.

6. Supported NFTs. The determination as to which NFTs and NFT collections will be Supported NFTs will be made by Bitlabcoin in its sole discretion. Such determinations shall not constitute or be construed as financial or investment advice, investment or purchase recommendations, or a solicitation to buy or sell. Bitlabcoin reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove or restrict access to any NFT listings, scores, rankings and/or other content or information from the NFT Services at any time if Bitlabcoin believes that (a) misrepresentations have been made regarding any of such content, or (b) the continued inclusion of such content on the NFT Services would (i) infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property rights of any third party, (ii) violate any applicable law, rule or regulation, (iii) violate this Addendum or the Terms, (iv) expose Bitlabcoin or its affiliates to liability or potential liability, (v) tarnish or damage Bitlabcoin ’s, its affiliates’ or the NFT Services’ reputation, brand or image, or (vi) be otherwise undesirable. Under no circumstances shall the inability to view NFTs on the NFT Services or an inability to use the NFT Services in conjunction with the purchase, sale, or transfer of NFTs available on any blockchains serve as grounds for a claim against Bitlabcoin .

7. Third Parties.

(a) Third Party Content and Services. In using our NFT Services, you may view NFTs or other content provided by third parties, including, without limitation, links to web pages of third parties (collectively, “Third Party Content and Services”). We do not control, endorse or adopt any Third Party Content and Services and shall have no responsibility for Third Party Content and Services, including, without limitation, material that may be infringing, illegal, misleading, incomplete, erroneous, offensive, indecent or otherwise objectionable. In addition, your business dealings or correspondence with such third parties are solely between you and the third parties. When you click on a link to or access and use Third Party Content and Services, although we may not warn you that you have left our Services, you are subject to the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination. We are not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings, and you understand that your viewing and use of Third Party Content and Services, and your interactions with third parties, are at your own risk.

(b) Third Party Disputes. In the event of a disagreement arising between you and any other user of the NFT Services or third party, Bitlabcoin will not provide dispute resolution services and the parties must resolve such disputes directly. If you have a dispute with one or more users of the NFT Services or third parties, you release us from claims, demands, and damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. In entering into this release you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise) that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.

8. Risks. You accept and acknowledge, without limitation, that:

The fact that an NFT is blockchain-based and transfers of an NFT can be verifiable does not mean that the minter or seller of an NFT has the rights necessary to grant you rights and licenses with respect to the content associated with the NFT, and you are solely responsible for ascertaining whether your purchase of an NFT will validly and effectively acquire for you the rights and licenses you expect to receive by virtue of such purchase;
The price and liquidity of blockchain assets, including, without limitation, NFTs, are extremely volatile and subjective and may be subject to large fluctuations. You acknowledge that you fully understand this inherent volatility and the subjective value of NFTs and that you may lose money;
Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect NFTs, which may also be subject to significant price volatility;
The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, NFTs, cryptocurrency, and other crypto-based items is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange and value of NFTs;
A lack of continued use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of those ecosystems and related applications, and could therefore also negatively impact the potential utility of NFTs;
Transactions in NFTs may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable;
We do not control certain smart contracts and protocols that may be integral to your ability to complete NFT transactions;
Defects, errors or unanticipated features of a smart contract governing an NFT may result in unexpected behaviors and results with respect to the NFT, which may include, without limitation, inability to access or transfer the NFT;
Changes to Third Party Content and Services (discussed above) may create a risk that your access to and use of the NFT Services will suffer; and
You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your NFT-related transactions. We are not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your transactions on the NFT Services.

You are solely responsible for determining the nature, potential value, suitability, and appropriateness of these risks for yourself.

9. Disclaimers.

NOTHING ON OR INVOLVING THE NFT SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE RARITY SCORES AND RANKINGS, SHALL CONSTITUTE OR BE CONSTRUED AS FINANCIAL OR INVESTMENT ADVICE, INVESTMENT OR PURCHASE RECOMMENDATIONS, OR A SOLICITATION TO BUY OR SELL.

THE VALUE OF AN NFT IS SUBJECTIVE. PRICES OF NFTS ARE SUBJECT TO VOLATILITY AND ANY RARITY SCORES AND RANKINGS, OR ESTIMATED MARKET VALUES, DISPLAYED ON THE NFT SERVICES ARE NOT A REFLECTION OF OR A PROXY FOR ACTUAL VALUE OR A GUARANTEE OF SALE PRICES THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE OBTAINED. THE RARITY SCORES AND RANKINGS ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE RELIED ON AND WE SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY NFT PURCHASES MADE BY YOU.

Bitlabcoin ’S NFT SERVICES HELP YOU EXPLORE NFTS CREATED BY VARIOUS CREATORS AND INTERACT WITH DIFFERENT BLOCKCHAINS. Bitlabcoin DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT ANY THIRD-PARTY CONTENT VISIBLE THROUGH THE NFT SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY CONTENT ASSOCIATED WITH NFTS DISPLAYED ON THE SERVICE.

YOU BEAR FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR VERIFYING THE IDENTITY, LEGITIMACY, AND AUTHENTICITY OF NFTS THAT YOU PURCHASE FROM THIRD PARTIES USING THE NFT SERVICES AND WE MAKE NO CLAIMS ABOUT THE IDENTITY, LEGITIMACY, FUNCTIONALITY, OR AUTHENTICITY OF USERS OR NFTS (AND ANY CONTENT ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH NFTS) VISIBLE ON THE NFT SERVICES.

WE ALSO CANNOT, AND DO NOT, GUARANTEE THAT ANY NFTS VISIBLE ON THE NFT SERVICES WILL ALWAYS REMAIN VISIBLE AND/OR AVAILABLE TO BE BOUGHT, SOLD, OR TRANSFERRED.

ALTHOUGH NFTS ARE GENERALLY INTENDED TO BE NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS REPRESENTING A UNIQUE, NON-INTERCHANGEABLE UNIT OF DATA, CERTAIN NFTS MAY BE FUNGIBLE WITH ONE ANOTHER. THERE CAN BE NO, AND WE DO NOT MAKE ANY, GUARANTEE OR ASSURANCE OF THE UNIQUENESS, ORIGINALITY OR QUALITY OF ANY NFT ON THE NFT SERVICES.

10. Intellectual Property. Bitlabcoin respects the valid intellectual property rights of others. Each user must ensure that the materials they provide do not infringe any third-party rights, including, without limitation, copyrights. We will respond to allegations of U.S. copyright infringement with respect to content or other materials on the NFT Services in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, 17 U.S.C. § 512 (the “DMCA”) when we receive valid takedown notices submitted to us in accordance with the DMCA (“DMCA Notices”) and similarly valid counter notices (“DMCA Counter Notices”).

(a) DMCA Notice. If you are a copyright owner, or an agent of a copyright owner, and you believe that any content or other materials on the NFT Services infringe your copyright, you may submit a notification to us pursuant to the DMCA by providing our DMCA agent identified below with the following information in writing at the address or email identified below with the subject line “DMCA Notice: [name of allegedly infringing NFT/collection]”:

(b) DMCA Counter Notice. If you believe that your User Submitted Content on the NFT Services have been improperly removed pursuant to a DMCA Notice because they are not infringing, such as because you have authorization from the actual copyright owner or the owner’s agent and/or because you have the right to license us to store and display the User Submitted Content under applicable law, you may send a DMCA Counter Notice to Bitlabcoin at the address detailed above with the following information and subject line “DMCA Counter Notice: [name of allegedly infringing NFT/collection]”:

identification of the materials that have been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location(s) at which the materials appeared before such User-Submitted Materials were removed or disabled;

your physical or electronic signature.

If we receive a counter request containing the above information, we may send a copy of such counter request to the original complaining party and we may inform such party that we may replace the removed or disabled content in ten (10) business days. Unless we receive further notice from the original complaining party that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may replace or re-enable access to the allegedly infringing content or materials ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days after the date on which we received the valid counter-request.

(c) Repeat infringer policy. We will terminate a user account (if applicable) and/or a user’s ability to further interact with the NFT Services if there have been three (3) occasions of removal of content provided by such user (or the entity they represent) due to DMCA Notices delivered in accordance with the above procedure.

(d) Other content concerns. If you believe that any content or other material on the NFT Services infringes or violates your rights, other than copyrights (which, for the avoidance of doubt, are addressed via the DMCA notice and takedown procedure described above), you may send us a notification to the contact below. Your sending of such a notification shall not create any obligation (e.g., to review, respond or take any action) with respect to the subject matter of the notification, except if and to the limited extent required by applicable law.

Payward Ventures, Inc.
237 Kearny Street #102, San Francisco, CA 94108, USA.

11. Severability. If any provision of this Addendum is held to be invalid or not enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, than such provision shall be deemed severed from this Addendum, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Addendum, all of which shall remain a part of this Addendum and have their intended full force and effect; provided, however, that if any such invalid or unenforceable provision can be modified so as to be valid and enforceable as a matter of law, then such provision shall not be deemed severed from this Addendum and instead shall be deemed to have been modified so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12. Survival. You agree and understand that all provisions of this Addendum shall survive the termination or expiration of this Addendum. Termination will not limit any of Bitlabcoin ’s other rights or remedies at law or in equity.
