Terms of use

This terms of use ("terms") describes terms and conditions which users (“user”, “you”) shall follow to be able to use the DEX Services (“Service” "DEX" "we", “us” and “our”) and its related applications.

By using the Service, users are confirming that they have read, understood and accepted the terms of use in their entirety before finishing the registration procedure and they agree to be legally bound by the terms.

If users are entering into this agreement on behalf of a legal entity, users represent that they have the authority to bind such entity, in which case the terms "users" or "they" shall refer to such entity.

Enforcement & amendments

The user accepts that terms of use may be updated by “DEX” from time to time with or without notice. DEX reserves the right to alter, amend or modify these terms from time to time, at DEX’s sole discretion. Notice will be provided of such changes by means of an e-mail, bulletin notice on the homepage of the website and/or by posting the amended terms via the DEX website and/or updating the "last updated" date at the top of these terms. Should the user not read and accept the terms of use in its entirety, she/he should not use or continue using the services of the website. The amended terms will be deemed effective immediately upon posting on website.

Provided services

DEX is a cryptocurrency exchange platform that provides users the option to exchange digital currencies. A user can now be able to exchange one cryptocurrency to another through the DEX Service.

General terms

For the purposes hereof "exchange" shall mean an exchange of the crypto asset of one type to the crypto asset of another type, at the terms and conditions set forth by exchanging parties, which is executed via the third-party service on the respective blockchain network. When a user exchanges crypto assets he/she acknowledges and agrees that the exchange will be processed through the third-party exchange service with additional fees applicable to such exchange. The user acknowledges and agrees that the exchange rates information made available via the website are an estimation only and may differ from prevailing rates available via other sources outside of the Service.

"Crypto assets" herein shall be deemed as types of assets which can only exclusively be transmitted by means of blockchain technology, including but not limited to digital coins and digital tokens and any other type of digital mediums of exchange, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, etc, to the full and absolute exempt of the securities of any kind.

Registration on DEX

To be able to use all possibilities and functionality of DEX services, users shall go through the registration process and create a"DEX account" which is a user account accessible after the registration process and via the services where the user may request to make a crypto assets exchange.

When users create a DEX account they are required to:

  • Change the password, which is generated by website automatically, for a strong password that is not used for any other websites, online or off-line services;
  • Provide an accurate e-mail, which belongs to the user;
  • Maintain the security of the DEX account and promptly notify the organisation if the user discovers any suspicious activity related to the account;
  • Agree to pass through AML/KYC procedures, which may be applied to the user from time to time. During the AML/KYC procedures, DEX reserves the right to request additional information and documents, which are aimed at identifying the user and to prove the source of the funds;
  • ake responsibility for all activities that occur under the user’s DEX account.

The DEX service does not provide custodial services, which means, the organisation does not store crypto assets on deposits and balances. In limited cases such as e.g. necessity to carry out AML/KYC procedure, the exchange may be delayed. The user hereby understands and acknowledges, that any delays are possible; the user indemnifies and holds the organisation harmless against any claims, demands and damages, whether direct, indirect, consequential or special, 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 exchange delay, whether originated from the Service’s fault or not.

DEX strives to protect users from fraudulent and scamming activities in the sphere of crypto assets. It is possible, that some crypto assets are purposed for unlawful seizure of the property, or are construed as a fraud, scam or any other activity, recognised by the laws as illegal and/or non-compliant with legal requirements. DEX reserves the right to prohibit and discontinue any exchanges on the service with such crypto assets at the organisation's sole discretion, without any prior notice to users and without publication of the reason for such decision, whenever this comes to the organisation’s knowledge.

Termination of the terms

DEX reserves the right to terminate these terms and disable users’ DEX accounts and registration (including username and password) in the following cases:

  • If the organisation believes that users have breached any of the terms of these terms, immediately without notice;
  • If the organisation decides to terminate the services, immediately without notice.

Arbitration

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating in any way to the Terms of Use including without limitation any dispute concerning the construction, validity, interpretation, enforceability or breach of the Terms of Use shall be exclusively resolved by binding arbitration upon a Party’s submission of the dispute to arbitration.

The user and DEX agree to notify each other in writing of any dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises.

Miscellaneous

These terms contain the entire agreement, and supersede all prior understandings between the parties regarding the services. In the event of any conflict between these terms and any other agreement the user may have with DEX, the terms of that other agreement will prevail only if these terms are specifically identified and declared to be overridden by such other agreement.

Failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under these terms shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

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.

Users may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under these terms without prior written consent from DEX, including by operation of law or in connection with any change of control. DEX may assign or transfer any or all of its rights under these terms, in whole or in part, without obtaining users’ consent or approval.
