Unique Features of Cryptocurrencies Sample Clauses

Unique Features of Cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies are not legal tender in the United States, are not backed by the United States government, have no intrinsic value, and are not subject to FDIC or SIPC protections. The price of cryptocurrencies is based on the agreement of the parties at the time of any given transaction, which may or may not be based on the market value of the cryptocurrency at the time of the transaction. The value of a cryptocurrency may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency for cryptocurrency, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of a value of a particular cryptocurrency should the market for that cryptocurrency disappear. Accordingly, the nature of cryptocurrency means that there is no assurance that: (i) a market participant who accepts a cryptocurrency as payment today will continue to do so in the future; (ii) a market participant’s cryptocurrency losses will be afforded any kind of a legal protection, such protection which may be limited to private insurance, bonds, or trust accounts (if available); and (iii) a bond or trust account maintained by Zero Hash or ZHLS, or an exchange, intermediary, custodian, or vendor (if any), for your benefit will be sufficient to cover all losses incurred by market participants.

  • Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies If a transaction is made in a foreign currency, we and Mastercard International or VISA International, depending on which card is used, will convert the transaction into a U.S. dollar amount. Mastercard and VISA will act in accordance with their operating regulations or conversion procedures in effect at the time the transaction is processed. Currently, their regulations and procedures provide that the currency conversion rate they use, to determine the transaction amount in U.S. dollar, is either (a) a wholesale market rate, or (b) a government-mandated rate in effect one day prior to the processing date. Mastercard and VISA increase this conversion rate by one percent (1%) and keep this increase as compensation for performing the currency conversion service. We will charge you two percent (2%) of the U.S. dollar amount of the transaction converted from a foreign currency. The currency conversion rate calculated in this manner that is in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction date or posting date. Other Charges. You agree we may assess, in addition to the Interest Charge, the Other Charges below which charges will be earned when assessed and are not subject to refund or rebate. The following fees may be added, as applicable, to the Account and treated as a Purchase as indicated on the Insert:

  • IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES If you make a charge or receive a refund in a currency other than Canadian dollars that charge or refund will be converted into Canadian dollars by our currency conversion affiliate, AE Exposure Management Limited (AEEML). The conversion will take place on the date the charge or refund is processed by us, which may not be the same date on which you made your charge or received your refund as it depends on when the charge or refund was submitted to us. This means that the exchange rate used by AEEML may differ from the rate that is in effect on the date of your transaction or refund. Exchange rate fluctuations can be significant. This conversion rate is set by AEEML on each weekday except January 1 and December 25 (each, a rate selection day). If the charge or refund is not in U.S. dollars, the conversion will be made through U.S. dollars, by converting the charge or refund amount into U.S. dollars and then by converting the U.S. dollar amount into Canadian dollars. If the charge or refund is in U.S. dollars, it will be converted directly into Canadian dollars. Conversion commissions we apply to original charges will not be returned on refunds. Conversion rates applied to refunds may differ from conversion rates applied to original charges. As a result, the amount of the refund will generally differ from the amount of the original charge. However, we do not charge an additional currency conversion commission on a refund. Unless a specific exchange rate is either required by law, or is used as a matter of local custom or convention (in which case AEEML will look to be consistent with that custom or convention), AEEML’s conversion rates are based on interbank rates selected from customary industry sources on the rate selection day prior to the processing date, which we increase by a single conversion commission as specified in the information box and disclosure statement or as otherwise disclosed by us. If charges are converted by third parties prior to being submitted to us, any conversions made by those third parties will be at rates selected by them and may include a commission or charge, also selected by the third party. It is your decision whether to use the third party currency conversion or not. You should check the rates and charges before completing the transaction. When a transaction is converted by a third party and is submitted to us in Canadian dollars, we will not apply a currency conversion commission.

  • Risk of Margin Trading The risk of loss in financing a transaction by deposit of collateral is significant. You may sustain losses in excess of your cash and any other assets deposited as collateral with the licensed or registered person. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders. You may be called upon at short notice to make additional margin deposits or interest payments. If the required margin deposits or interest payments are not made within the prescribed time, your collateral may be liquidated without your consent. Moreover, you will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account and interest charged on your account. You should therefore carefully consider whether such a financing arrangement is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objectives.
