(f) Digital Asset Protocols. CLTS has no control over the technologies or protocols underlying the Digital Assets. These technologies and protocols change from time to time and such changes may affect the value, functionalities, use, or characteristics of your Digital Assets, including Digital Assets held in your Account. Changes to these technologies and protocols might render Digital Assets incompatible with our Services.

(g) Support. We are not responsible for providing support regarding Digital Assets in your possession or control nor are we responsible for providing support regarding External Wallets.

(h) Wallet Addresses. When you provide us with a Wallet Address for delivery of Digital Assets (or for any other purpose), you are solely responsible for ensuring that the Wallet Address is accurate and that the Wallet to which it relates is accessible by you. We are not responsible for verifying the accuracy of Wallet Addresses you provide to us and we cannot reverse delivery of Digital Assets once sent to a Wallet Address.

For example, if you provide CLTS with incorrect Wallet Address information, CLTS will have no liability to you for any Digital Assets sent to that incorrect Wallet Address.

(j)  Forks.

(i)  CLTS does not own and has no control over the technologies and protocols that underly the Digital Assets. The network protocols or technologies of Digital Assets may undergo changes that may result in incompatibilities with previous versions of the blockchain (a “Fork”). Forks may affect Digital Asset value, transferability, functionality, and other attributes of the Digital Asset including the name of the Digital Asset and whether the Digital Asset will remain supported by the Services. CLTS has no liability to you or any other Person for any Losses you or any other Person incur as a result of or arising out of a Fork, including Losses you or any other Person incur due to CLTS’s inability or refusal to deliver to you or any other Person digital assets that result from a Fork. CLTS may suspend the Services to accommodate a Fork. CLTS has sole discretion to determine whether or not to support any forked blockchain. CLTS will have no liability to you or any other Person if CLTS chooses not to support a forked blockchain (an “Unsupported Blockchain”). As between you and CLTS, you have no rights, interests, or claims to digital assets on an Unsupported Blockchain (“Unsupported Digital Assets”). We make no representations or warranties regarding any forked blockchain networks we support and disclaim any all liability related to us supporting a forked blockchain.

(ii)  Forks may result in CLTS holding digital assets on two or more different forked blockchains; however, our ability to deliver to you digital assets that result from a Fork might depend on third-parties and the underlying protocols and technologies of the forked blockchains, over which we have no control. Consequently, we cannot guarantee delivery to you of digital assets that result from a Fork.

(iii) Where Unsupported Digital Assets have been produced following a Fork by an Unsupported Blockchain, we may without notice to you:

(1)  Retain the Unsupported Digital Assets as the property of CLTS;

(2)  Abandon such Unsupported Digital Assets without any obligation to deliver the Unsupported Digital Assets to you or any other Person; or

(3) Deliver to you your portion of the Unsupported Digital Assets (as determined by CLTS) through a one-time withdrawal functionality, and we may charge you a reasonable administrative Fee to reimburse us for our costs incurred in connection with delivering such Unsupported Digital Assets.

(iv) To ensure you have continued access to your Digital Assets that are on a blockchain network that will be subject to an upcoming Fork, and to the digital assets produced by such Fork, you must withdraw your Digital Assets from your Account prior to the occurrence of the Fork.

(k) Internet. Our completion of Trades might be delayed, limited, or hindered by failure, disruptions, or errors of hardware, software, or telecommunication systems. We are not liable for such delays, limitations, or hinderances.

(m) Supported Digital Assets. The types of Digital Assets supported by the Services is at the discretion of CLTS. CLTS may discontinue support for any Digital Asset at any time. If CLTS discontinues support for a Digital Asset (“Unsupported Digital Asset”), CLTS will communicate to you the time by which you must withdraw such Unsupported Digital Asset from your Account (“Withdrawal Period”), subject to withdrawal limitations and restrictions set out in this Agreement and only so long as the applicable blockchain facilitates such withdrawal. After expiration of the Withdrawal Period, any remaining Unsupported Digital Assets in your Account will be forfeited by you and become the property of CLTS, without any obligation on the part of CLTS to compensate you for such Unsupported Digital Assets. CLTS will have no liability to you for any Losses you incur as a result of CLTS withdrawing support for a Digital Asset.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we do not receive clarifying instructions from the Primary Contact within sufficient time (as determined by CLTS in its sole discretion), we may follow the instructions of any Authorized User not withstanding that they may conflict with another Authorized Users’ instructions and we may furthermore disregard the other instructions which conflict with the instructions we choose to follow.  We will not be liable for any failure to identify a conflict in instructions nor will we be liable for following one Authorized User’s instructions to the exclusion of another Authorized User’s instructions.

7. DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS

7.1 Funding your Account. Our Services provide support for multiple methods placing Orders. For more information on types of supported Orders, see our Schedule of Orders. The Schedule of Orders forms part of this Agreement and is incorporated by reference.  Availability of a particular type of Order depends on whether you meet our eligibility criteria for that Order type. We may modify such eligibility requirements from time to time in our sole discretion. Depending on the type of Order you intend to use, we may require you to load Funds into your Account in an amount sufficient to satisfy your Order before we accept your Order. If you have insufficient Funds to satisfy your Order, we may cancel your Order or fill a partial or full Order and require you to promptly satisfy any outstanding payment obligation.  We make no representation or warranty as to how long it may take to load your Account with Funds and we will not be liable for any Losses you or any other Person incurs due to any delay loading your Account with Funds. You authorize CLTS to credit your Account in accordance with your instructions.

7.2 Fiat Deposits. To fund your Account with Fiat, you must use one of our approved payment methods. After we receive your Fiat deposit, we will credit your Account in the amount received. You acknowledge that crediting of your Account is not instantaneous and could take multiple Business Days. We may debit your Account on the same day you confirm an Order, even if Fiat has not yet been credited to your Account.  Your financial institution might impose fees on you in connection with you funding your Account. These third-party fees will not be stated in any Quote or other transaction related information we provide you. We have no responsibility for these third-party fees. The amount of time required to fund your Account with Fiat depends on your financial institution and the payment method you use. You agree to comply with all of your financial institution’s terms and conditions.

7.3 Digital Asset Deposits. Digital Asset deposits to your Account (whether from an External Account or as the proceeds of any Trade) will not be credited to your Account until the deposited Digital Asset’s blockchain has provided the minimum number of confirmations as required by CLTS. You may only deposit to your Account the types of Digital Assets supported by the Services.

7.4 Restrictions. You shall not permit Funds to be transferred to your Account from a third-party. Only you and CLTS may transfer Funds to your Account.

CLTS does not provide stand-alone custodial services and Internal Wallets must not be used as a long-term storage solution. CLTS may return all of your Funds held by CLTS to your last known bank account or External Wallet if, in the sole and arbitrary opinion of CLTS, too much time has elapsed since your last Trade, or, if you have made no Trades, too much time has elapsed without making a Trade after depositing Funds.  

7.6 Handling of Funds by CLTS.

19. REMEDY OF OBVIOUS ERRORS

19.1. Determination. CLTS has sole authority, acting reasonably, to determine whether a situation constitutes an Obvious Error. When making such a determination, CLTS may rely on any information available to it, including information concerning market conditions at the relevant time, news releases, expert advice, public or private retractions or corrections made by third-party, identification of errors in information sources or miscommunications, identification of significant deviations in pricing from fair market pricing at the relevant time, debug information, and source code examination.

Schedule of Orders

This Schedule of Orders forms part of the Aquanow User Agreement.

Supported Orders. The Services support the following types of Orders:

1. Smart Order Router (SOR).

(a) When processing an SOR Order (“SOR Orders”), CLTS will seek to obtain the best available purchase or sale outcome for the Client, subject to the limit price. CLTS has sole discretion to determine whether CLTS adequately sought the best available outcome.

(b) Without limiting CLTS’s discretion in the previous paragraph, factors CLTS may consider when seeking the best available outcome for an SOR Order include:

(i) Price;

(ii) Cost;

(iii) Execution and settlement speed;

(iv) Likelihood of execution and settlement;

(v) Trading volume;

(vi) Liquidity / BBO depth;

(vii) Size of trade execution; and

(viii) Any other factors CLTS determines to be relevant to the trade execution and the nature of the transaction.

1.2 Request for Quote (RFQ). Request for Quote Orders (“RFQ Orders”) will be processed in the following manner (in descending order):

(a) Using one of the Order Channels, you submit to CLTS a request to receive a quote for an Order. Such request must describe the amount of Digital Assets you would like to purchase or sell through the Services.

(b) Once CLTS receives that request, CLTS may provide you with a price quote (“Quote”) setting out the amount and type of Digital Assets you intend to buy or sell, the purchase or sale price for those Digital Assets and the time at which the Quote will expire (the “Expiry Time”). The Quote might also include Fees applicable to your Order, but the failure to disclose Fees in the Quote does not mean that no Fees are applicable to your order. We may revoke the Quote any time before we accept your Order. CLTS is under no obligation to reply to your request with a Quote or otherwise.

(c) After we provide you with a Quote, you may confirm or cancel your Order at any time before the Expiry Time. Your confirmed Order will be deemed to be identical to the Quote regardless of your inclusion of any additional terms or conditions and any such additional terms or conditions will be deemed void. If you confirm your Order, you are bound to complete your Order in accordance with the Quote unless we reject your Order.

(d) After you confirm your Order, CLTS will at its election (in its sole and arbitrary discretion) accept or reject your Order. If we accept your Order, we will confirm acceptance of your Order by sending you a written acceptance confirmation. We may choose not to process an Order, even after we send you a confirmation message confirming your Order. Except as provided in Section 9.8 of the Agreement, we will not accept your Order until you have deposited sufficient Funds in your Account to pay for your Order in accordance with the Quote. If you do not have sufficient Funds deposited in your Account for your Order before the Expiry Time, the Quote will expire and your Order will be deemed cancelled.

1.3. Market Orders.‍

(a) A Market Order is an Order to buy or sell a specified quantity of Digital Assets at the best price in the current market available to CLTS as determined by CLTS in its sole discretion (“Market Orders”).

(b) Other terms and conditions applicable to Market Orders:

            (i) The price paid or received by you for a Market Order may differ from the last price quoted before the Market Order was placed. Market Orders might execute at various prices.  

            (ii) If CLTS has other pending orders with you or other clients that were placed before you placed your Market Order, the processing of your Market Order might be delayed.              

 (c) You acknowledge that Market Orders may execute at prices less favourable than the price for the most recent trade.

1.4. Time Weighted Average Price (TWAP).

 (a) A Time Weighted Average Price (“TWAP Order”) will execute an Order at a target time weighted average price by breaking the Order into multiple smaller Orders executed at a frequency selected by CLTS over a specified period of time specified by the Client.

 (b) Unless a limit is set by the Client, TWAP Orders will be treated as Market Orders.

 (c) TWAP Orders might not execute or might execute only partially during the specified time period. Consequently, execution of TWAP Orders is not guaranteed.

(d) Any unexecuted portion of the TWAP Order will be cancelled upon the expiration of the specified time period.
