b. | Parfin will provide Client with a segregated and controlled custody wallet by Xxxxxx to store certain Parfin-supported digital assets as defined below on behalf of Customer (“Custody Services”). The Digital Assets in the Client’s Custody Account are not treated as general assets of Parfin, Xxxxxx serving as a trustee and custodian on behalf of the Client, and the Digital Assets in the Client’s custody wallet are considered to be fiduciary assets that remain the property of the Client and are held by Xxxxxx in custody for the Client. |
c. | Xxxxxx will charge the fees specified in the Summary Table for custody services. Parfin may propose changes in the value of fees at any time, at least 30 (thirty) days in advance of such changes to the Client. If the Client does not agree with the new fees imposed by Xxxxxx, the Client may choose to terminate the custody services, without any cost and/or penalty. |

f. | Parfin cannot reverse a Custody Transaction that has been transmitted to a Digital Asset network. |
2. Wallet
2.1 | Parfin wallets allow you to send, receive and store certain cryptoassets (together, “Parfin Wallet(s)”). |
2.1.1 | We reserve the right to provide support for specific cryptoassets (“Supported Cryptoassets”). Information about Supported Cryptoassets can be found on the Parfin Support Portal (xxxxxxx.xxxxxx.xx). We may change Supported Cryptoassets from time to time without notice, in which case we will notify you to withdraw within ten (10) days. After this period, the balance will be unavailable for withdrawal. Under no circumstances should you attempt to trade on the Parfin Wallet in relation to a cryptoasset that is not a Supported Cryptoasset. Before completing any operation on the Parfin Wallet, you must therefore ensure that cryptocurrencies are on the updated list of Supported Cryptoassets. Including, but not limiting the generality of the foregoing, you accept and agree that you will have no access, right or claim to: |
a. | Any cryptoasset sent to a receiving address associated with your Parfin Wallet, where that cryptocurrency is not a Supported Cryptoasset; or any cryptoasset sent to a receiving address associated with your Parfin Wallet, where that receiving address is associated with another cryptoasset. For example, you will not have access, right or claim to any Bitcoin Cash (BCH) sent to a Bitcoin (BTC) receiving address. |
2.1.2. | We will process Parfin Wallet transactions in accordance with your instructions, subject to the provisions of these Terms. You accept and agree that Xxxxxx will not: |
(i) | guarantees the identity of any user, judicial depositary or other party to a Parfin Wallet transaction. You are solely responsible for ensuring that all permitted addresses or details of the operation of the Third-Party Service are correct, and you must carefully verify all transaction information before submitting the transaction instructions to Parfin, and you acknowledge that entering of incorrect operations for Parfin may result in loss to you for which Parfin bears no responsibility; |
(ii) | have any control over or any responsibility for the delivery, quality or any other aspect of any goods or services that you may buy or sell to any third party. Xxxxxx will not be responsible for, and will not take any action in relation to, ensuring that any buyer or seller with whom you transact using your Parfin Wallet completes the relevant transaction or has the necessary competence to do so; |
(iii) | has control, nor does Parfin accept any liability with respect to any underlying blockchain network issues, including but not limited to forks, double spend and 51% attacks. |
2.2 | You may receive Supported Cryptoassets in your Parfin Wallet by providing the sender with the receiving address of your Parfin Wallet. Your Parfin Wallet will only be credited with Supported Cryptoassets sent to the receiving address of your Parfin Wallet and associated with such Supported Cryptoassets. For example, your Parfin Wallet will be credited with ETH when it is sent to an ETH receiving address from your Parfin Wallet. Likewise, the Parfin Wallet will only allow you to send Supported Cryptoassets to other wallets previously registered by you on the Parfin Platform, which will depend on KYT analysis and Parfin’s approval. |
3. Wallet Security
3.1 | Parfin securely stores all Supported Cryptoassets private keys (“Private Keys”) associated with its Parfin Wallets. You accept and agree that Xxxxxx will retain full ownership and control of the Private Keys associated with your Parfin Wallets and that you will have no control, access or ability to use such Private Keys. For example, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parfin will not: |
a. | accept or comply with any instruction to sign any data with a Private Key; |
b. | give access to any funds associated with your private keys, other than those of Supported Cryptoassets associated with your Parfin Wallet; |
c. | allow the creation of any deposit address associated with a Private Key, except the receiving addresses associated with your Parfin Wallet. |
3.2 | When you select a Wallet protected by Digital Asset Services Ltd. (“Coincover”) (“Coincover Protection”), you agree that we may share your information with Coincover so that they can provide you with a personalized certificate of coverage (“Coincover Protection Certificate”). By selecting Coincover Protection, you confirm that you have read and understood Coincover’s Coverage Document and Terms and Conditions, and agree that coverage is appropriate for your circumstances. Coverage begins on the start date indicated on your Coincover Protection Certificate. |
3.3 | Parfin has a partnership with Coincover for the recovery of Digital Assets from the Client’s Wallets, in case Parfin’s systems are compromised. In this case, the back-up private key stored by Coincover together with non-sensitive Client information stored offline by Parfin or by the Client, may be used to recover the private keys belonging to the Client’s Wallets. The Wallet recovery procedure must be consulted by the Client with Parfin. |
4. Operation in Cryptoassets Networks
4.1 | When you use your Parfin Account to send or receive cryptoasset, the transaction must be confirmed and recorded in the public ledger associated with the corresponding cryptoasset network (e.g., the Bitcoin network or the Ethereum network). This cryptoasset network is solely responsible for verifying and confirming such operations. Parfin cannot confirm, cancel or reverse operations on a cryptoasset network, except to confirm to you that the network has completed the operation. You accept and agree that: |
a. | Once submitted to a cryptoasset network, an operation will be pending for a period of time awaiting proper confirmation of the operation by the network. An operation will not be completed while it is pending. The funds associated with transactions that are pending will be designated accordingly and will not be included in your Parfin Wallet balance or will be available for you to carry out transactions; |
b. | When you send cryptoassets from your Parfin Wallets, you are authorizing us to send your transaction request to the corresponding cryptoasset network. Once the trade request has been sent to the corresponding cryptoasset network, the network will automatically complete or reject the request and neither you nor Parfin will be able to cancel or modify your trade, even if you have incorrectly entered the recipient’s wallet details; and |
c. | Cryptoasset networks are operated by decentralized networks of independent third parties. They are not owned, controlled or operated by Parfin. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that any transaction details you submit will be confirmed by the cryptoasset network in question. You agree that any transaction details you submit may not be completed, or may be materially delayed, by the cryptoasset network used to process the transaction and Parfin is not responsible for any delay. |
4.2 | If any instruction received by Xxxxxx is ambiguous, Xxxxxx will refuse to carry out such instructions until such ambiguity has been resolved to Parfin’s satisfaction. Likewise, Xxxxxx may refuse to carry out instructions if, in Xxxxxx’s opinion, such instructions are outside the scope of its obligations under this Agreement or are contrary to any applicable law, rule or other regulatory requirement (whether arising from any authority government or self-regulatory organization) |
4.3 | Client must manage and secure any and all information or devices associated with deposit and withdrawal verification procedures, including two-factor authentication and passwords or other security or confirmation information. |
4.4 | Parfin reserves the right to charge network fees (mining fees) to process a digital asset transaction on behalf of the Client. Parfin will calculate the network fee, if any, seeking to optimize costs while maintaining a high level of preference in processing the transaction on the network. Parfin will make the network fee available for consultation by the Client on the platform after the completion of any transaction. |
4.5 | The network fees (mining fees) referred to in item 4.4 above are dynamic, and may vary depending on the volume and/or moment of the transaction carried out, and Parfin is hereby authorized to deduct from the Client and/or User’s balance network fees (mining fee) if the intended transaction amount is less than the network fees (mining fee). In the event of such a situation and, if the Client and/or User does not have sufficient balance to cover the network fees (mining fee), the operation will not be processed by Parfin, without any right to fine, indemnity and/or claim on the part of the Client and/or User, regardless of value or nature. |
5. Network Protocols and Operating Rules
5.1 | The underlying software protocols governing the operation of Supported Cryptoassets are open source. Thus, anyone can use, copy, modify and distribute them and Parfin has no domain or control over these protocols. By using the Parfin Account, you accept and agree that: |
a. | Parfin is not responsible for the operation of any underlying software protocols of the cryptoasset network and makes no guarantee as to their availability, security or functionality; |
b. | The underlying software protocols are subject to sudden changes in operational rules (known as “forks”) and that such forks can materially affect the value, function and/or name of any cryptoassets you store in your Parfin Wallets. In the event of a fork, Parfin may, with or without notice, temporarily suspend our operations and, in our sole discretion, decide whether or not to support any branch of the forked protocol; and |
c. | If Xxxxxx decides not to support a forked protocol branch, you will not have access to the assets of that fork after the date Parfin ceases to support such fork. These assets will be held securely by Parfin and we will not buy or sell them. We may agree to transfer these assets to you or make them available to you, but we reserve the right to charge fees in connection therewith. |
5.2 | In the case of Parfin Wallets with offline subscription (“AirGap Cards”), once the withdrawal is approved by a User of the Client, Parfin will ask the approving user to schedule a video conference with Parfin for operational verification of the withdrawal and identity of the approver, without limiting other additional verifications at Xxxxxx’s discretion. Once the verification has been completed, Xxxxxx will have a period of up to 24 (twenty-four) hours to process transactions with the withdrawal of digital assets from the Client’s wallet and submission of the withdrawal to the network of digital assets in question. Xxxxxx keeps one of the pieces of the private key required to complete the signature of the digital asset transaction offline, which is why Parfin needs the deadline in question. |
5.3 | Customer acknowledges and agrees that a custodial transaction in relation to AirGap Wallets may be delayed, and that transactions may take up to 24 (twenty-four) hours, in accordance with the above clause, to be effected from the Customer’s wallet. |
6. Representations and Warranties
