4. Your Digital Currency Wallet

4.1 Purpose of Your Digital Currency Wallet

Your digital currency wallet allows you to send supported digital currencies to, and to receive and store supported digital currencies from, third parties on your instructions, using the services.

4.2 Supported Digital Currencies

CryptoSouk currently supports the list of digital currencies reflected on our exchange site, accessible as illustrated on the website. However, the nature of the digital currencies that CryptoSouk supports is subject to change, and could change without notice to you if this is required as a result of law, any order of a court of governmental agency, any change to the operating rules in the underlying Digital Currency ’s network, or any technological issue outside of our reasonable control. CryptoSouk supports only the “advanced protocols” reflected on our exchange site, accessible here. It does not support any other protocols such as metacoins, coloured coins, side chains, or other derivative, enhanced or forked protocols, tokens or coins which supplement or interact with a digital currency supported by CryptoSouk.

4.3 Fees

CryptoSouk will charge the transaction fees set out in the fee schedule as per the website.

In addition, all transactions need to be confirmed by ‘miners’ which group transactions into ‘blocks’ and add those blocks to the relevant network underlying the specific Digital Currency.

When making a digital currency deposit, you may need to pay the applicable ‘miner fee’ (i.e. network fee) to confirm the transaction on the network. To do this, you need to make sure your transaction includes a sufficient miner fee to be confirmed. Insufficient fees will delay the processing of a transaction.

CryptoSouk may charge miner fees to process a digital currency withdrawal on your behalf. If we do so, CryptoSouk will calculate the miner fee in our discretion and notify you of the amount of the fee at or before the time you authorise the Transaction. For some digital currency there may be an additional ‘Gas’ charge as determined by the network that the digital currency works upon.

4.4 Operation of Your Digital Currency Wallet

We will send you an email confirmation of all transactions relating to your digital currency Wallet.

CryptoSouk securely stores all digital currency private keys in our control in a combination of online and offline storage. As a result, it may be necessary for CryptoSouk to retrieve certain information from offline storage in order to facilitate a digital currency transaction in accordance with your instructions. This may delay the initiation or crediting of the relevant digital currency transaction for up to 48 hours, or longer in some circumstances.

4.5 Your Confirmations in Relation to Your Digital Currency Wallet

You confirm that you understand and accept the following:

• CryptoSouk will process your transactions in accordance with your instructions, and you should carefully verify all instructions before placing any orders. If there is an error in those instructions, then that is your risk and CryptoSouk does not accept any responsibility or liability.
• When you transact with another approved user through the site (a Counterparty), there is a risk that the counterparty may cancel the transaction before the order is executed. You understand that CryptoSouk cannot require a counterparty to complete any transaction and is not responsible for liable for any such counterparty default. If you believe a counterparty has behaved in a misleading or fraudulent manner, or otherwise in breach of these Terms and Conditions, please notify us immediately at [email protected] so that we can determine what action, if any, to take.
• Your Digital Currency wallet is available only in connection with the Digital Currencies that CryptoSouk supports at any time, in its discretion. As set out in clause 4.3 above, these supported Digital Currencies are subject to change. CryptoSouk assumes no responsibility or liability for any attempt to use your Digital Currency Wallet for Digital Currencies that CryptoSouk does not support at that time.
• CryptoSouk does not control or own any of the underlying networks or software protocols that govern the operation of the Digital Currencies supported by CryptoSouk.
• CryptoSouk does not stand behind or underwrite any Transaction you enter into using the CryptoSouk exchange.
• A Digital Currency withdrawal may be delayed as a result of CryptoSouk retrieving information from offline storage.
• CryptoSouk has the right to refuse to process or to cancel any pending order or transaction at any time if it is required to do so at law or in response to a court or government order, or to enforce transaction limits, or if any suspension event occurs.
• Digital Currencies are a risky asset class and trading in Digital Currencies increases those risks you confirm that you agree to accept those risks when you create a user account with us.
• The amount or value of the Digital Currencies in your Digital Currency Wallet is not guaranteed or underwritten by CryptoSouk nor by any other person, and you could lose the Digital Currencies, or the value of the Digital Currencies, stored in your Digital Currency Wallet in a short period of time. In that case, you will have no recourse to CryptoSouk or to any other person for your loss (including loss of profit), or any liability or inconvenience that results.
