1. Acceptance of the Terms

1.1. These terms of use (the “Terms”) set out the terms and conditions under which you (“You” or “Your” as appropriate) can purchase Bitcoin (“Crypto” or “Cryptocurrency”) from Enigma Markets Inc. (the “Service”). Enigma Markets Inc. (“Us”, “We” or “Enigma” as appropriate) is a Delaware corporation Enigma is currently registered as a Money Services Business (“MSB”) with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”).

1.2. You acknowledge and agree that by engaging with Enigma to execute transactions or generally using the Service in any way, You will be deemed to have accepted these Terms. You understand that each order submitted to Enigma may result in Your entry into one or more binding transactions (a “Transaction”). You assume full financial and performance responsibility for all such Transactions created as a result of the process set out in these Terms.

2. Amendment to the Terms

Unless We consider any amendment to be a material change to the Terms (in which case we will provide You with not less than 7 (seven) days’ prior notice (a “Notice”)), We reserve the right to amend the Terms at any time without prior notice to You. All changes shall take effect immediately and an updated version of the Terms shall be published on Our website. If You do not agree to any amendment, you should stop using the Service immediately.

3. Risks

3.1. The risk of loss in trading or holding Cryptocurrency can be high. The price of a given Cryptocurrency can vary greatly in a very short span of time. Many Cryptocurrencies are not backed by any asset, commodity or central bank. You should ensure that You fully understand these risks and You may therefore wish to take legal or financial advice before using the Service or placing any order.

3.2. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of our Services and the value of your cryptocurrencies.

3.3. You accept the inherent security risks of providing information and dealing online over the Internet and agree that We have no liability or responsibility for any breach of security unless it is due to our gross negligence.

4. Users

4.1. You must set up and maintain an account to use the Service and submit orders (an “Account”). Your eligibility to use the Service will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and may depend on the country where You reside. Enigma reserves the right to refuse to allow You to establish an account or use the Service for any reason at its absolute discretion.

4.2. You represent and warrant that Your use of the Service, and Your entry into each Transaction to which You become a party complies with applicable law and regulation in Your jurisdiction, including but not limited to: (i) legal capacity and any other applicable legal requirements in Your jurisdiction for trading Cryptocurrency and using the Service, (ii) any foreign exchange or regulatory restrictions applicable to Your use of the Service, and (iii) the receipt of any governmental or other consents (or exemptions) that You may need to be obtain prior to Your use of the Service.

4.3. Nothing in these Terms shall be deemed, nor shall cause, You and Enigma to be treated as partners or joint ventures.

5. The Service

5.1. We will process Your orders in relation to Crypto at our absolute discretion. In order to provide the Service, Enigma may rely on data and prices of third-party exchanges. You acknowledge and understand that Enigma has no responsibility or liability for the provision of the Related Services, which, whether provided by an affiliate or otherwise, are outside the scope of the Terms. Any authority granted by You to Enigma shall extend to the providers of the Related Services, where applicable.

5.2. The Service includes Crypto exchange services (namely the buying and selling of Crypto). Enigma shall not, nor is it under any obligation to, provide You with any advice in relation to the merits or suitability of any Transaction and You are required to rely on Your own judgement before submitting any order to Us.

6. Orders

6.1. You must submit all orders in accordance with these Terms and/or the Enigma Website if applicable. You acknowledge that We reserve the right to decline any order for any reason (including Your breach of the Terms, inadequate funds in Your Account, or market conditions).

6.2. If, following acceptance but before execution of Your order, an event takes place which, in Our reasonable opinion, means it is no longer reasonable to execute such order (for example regulatory action, change in law or following the request of an applicable third-party exchange), You acknowledge that We may cancel Your order without any liability to You (and update Your account balance accordingly).

6.3. Irrespective of the time at which (or medium by which) You place an order, You agree to pay or receive the price at the time the associated Transaction is executed. You acknowledge and understand that the nature of the Crypto market means that the price at which Your Transaction is executed may vary significantly from the price quoted at the time of Your order. Enigma is not liable for any such price fluctuations. The Service is independent of any exchanges, and We are under no obligation to quote or refer to a particular price or index.

6.4. We will use our reasonable endeavours to act upon any request to cancel or amend an order before it is confirmed. You acknowledge and agree that if We are unable to cancel or amend an order before it is confirmed, You will be bound by the resultant Transaction. You agree to accept the price in which Transactions are executed as final and binding.

6.5. You acknowledge and understand that all Transactions are entered into on a matched principal basis and Enigma owes You no fiduciary duty in the course of providing the Service. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in these Terms shall preclude Enigma (or any other party approved by Enigma at Our absolute discretion) from acting as a market maker (“Market Making Activity”). Any terms, conditions, agreements or rules in relation to Market Making Activity shall be provided separately.

7. Funds

7.1. Enigma’s fund settlement process operates on either a same day (T+0) or delayed settlement basis. All purchase orders to buy Crypto must be paid for with an amount of fiat currency equal to the relevant purchase price plus any associated fees transmitted to and received by our relevant account(s). For all sell orders to dispose of Crypto: (i) the associated number of Crypto; and (ii) an amount of fiat currency equal to the associated fee, must be transmitted to and received by our relevant accounts. Failure to conclude that will result in the rejection of future orders. A list of fiat currencies We accept is available on Our website (“Accepted Currency”) or will be communicated to You in due course. If You attempt to make a payment in any currency other than an Accepted Currency, then such payment may be rejected.

7.2. It is Your responsibility to ensure that You hold sufficient cleared funds and Crypto (when applicable) in your bank account and Crypto wallet to satisfy the settlement of any Transaction. The Service does not include the provision of margin.

7.3. Non-custodial disclaimer.

8. Price

8.1. You acknowledge and understand that when You enter into a Transaction via the Service, the fee for the Transaction will be a fee determined by Us, taking into account market conditions. Such price may include a spread (the “Spread”) as against the price at which we purchased the Crypto. You acknowledge and understand that the size of the Spread can vary dependent on market conditions.

8.2. You also acknowledge that any third-party fees, such as conversion charges and/or card processing fees, will be passed on to You (“Third Party Fees” and together with the Spread, the “Fees”).

9. Cash/Crypto Transmission

9.1. We will establish and maintain one or more bank accounts or digital wallets for accepted fiat currency or Crypto to be transmitted to us by You prior to an Order being executed. You acknowledge and accept that once transmitted, the funds or Crypto will be held in Our account in Our name, or in that of a third-party firm, which may be an affiliate of ours (including, without limitation, Makor Securities London Limited) (a “Third Party Account Provider”). You acknowledge and understand that: (i) the funds or Crypto transmitted to such accounts or digital wallets are Enigma’s own funds or Crypto; and (ii) the transfer of funds or Crypto from You to Us is solely referable to Your purchase of Crypto and is not a deposit.

9.2. In the event of our insolvency, in respect of fiat currency, You will rank as an unsecured creditor of ours for return of such funds if such entitlement arises under the relevant insolvency laws of Delaware; and (vi) in the event of insolvency in relation to the Third Party Account Provider, Enigma may only have an unsecured debt claim against the Third Party Account Provider on Your behalf if such entitlement arises under the relevant insolvency laws of England. Enigma does not accept any liability for losses resulting from its insolvency or the insolvency of a Third-Party Account Provider. Your claim in respect of Crypto if such a claim arises following the insolvency of the Enigma Wallet holder may be limited to an unsecured debt claim, and the Crypto or cash sum You receive in respect of Your Crypto may be insufficient to satisfy Your Account balance.

9.3. In respect of the transfer of the funds, we will aim to [credit Your Account with the corresponding amount of Crypto (provided the terms of your Order have been accepted by Us) within 1 business day of receipt of the relevant Order. In respect of withdrawals, we will debit Your Account, when agreed upon delay, with the corresponding amount of fiat currency following Your authorisation.] The corresponding funds will then settle to Your bank account within 3 business days. We are not responsible for any delay in the settlement of a Transaction resulting from circumstances beyond our control, including any third-party systems failure.

9.4. You acknowledge and understand that the Crypto Which Enigma supports may change from time to time.

9.5. You will not be entitled to interest in respect of any funds or Crypto held by Us, a Third-Party Account Provider or an Enigma Wallet holder.

9.6. As described above, Your money and Cryptocurrency will not be segregated. Consequently, If We or a Third- Party Account Provider become insolvent, there may be delays in identifying individual assets, increasing the risk of loss.

10. Tax

It is Your sole responsibility to determine whether and to what extent any taxes apply to the Transactions and, if applicable to report and remit the correct payment to the appropriate tax authorities. Enigma does not and will not provide any advice with respect to the tax implications of Your entry into Transactions.

11. Delivery

Following the execution of a Transaction, delivery will occur on Enigma’s records and Your Account balance will be updated accordingly.

12. Security

12.1. You shall be solely responsible for controlling and monitoring the use of the password to Your Account, and shall not permit any person to provide Your password, to any third party. You acknowledge and agree that You shall be bound by any actions taken through the use of Your Account including all orders and the resulting Transactions or other arrangements, as applicable, whether or not such actions were authorised by You. We accept no liability for any loss that You may sustain due to compromise of Your password and/or Account that did not arise directly as a result of Our loss or negligence. If You believe Your Account has been compromised, You should contact us immediately at info@enigma-securities.io.

12.2. By registering an Account, You agree to be bound by and to indemnify and hold Enigma harmless for any and all actions taken by, or omissions of, individuals using an instruction to transfer Crypto to a digital wallet (a “Wallet”).

13. Information Provided

13.1. Any information provided to You via Our website or otherwise does not amount to investment advice. You may use this information for the purposes of the Service only, and shall not disseminate or reproduce the information in any way. Any price quoted or referenced on the website if applicable may be different from the execution price of the Transaction. Enigma does not recommend that any cryptocurrency should be bought, sold, acquired or held by You and will not be held responsible for any decision you make in this regard based on the information provided by Enigma

13.2. Enigma does not provide investment, tax, or legal advice, and you are solely responsible for assessing whether any transaction you enter into via Our Service is appropriate for you based on your objectives, financial circumstances and risk tolerance.

13.3. We provide the Service on an “as-is” basis to facilitate the submission of orders and execution of Transactions and any reasonably related activity (the “Permitted Purpose”).
