4.1 We provide an online trading platform for Users, if allowed in their respective jurisdictions, to hold and trade certaiNCollector Assets (also known as virtual financial assets, cryptographic tokens, Collection tokens and/or cryptographic currency) and derivatives linked to Collection Assets or indices thereof. Users may request the withdrawal of their Collection Assets at any time, subject to the Terms.


4.2 We aim to provide the User with trading services, where available, including: an order matching platform that automatically, according to pre-established criteria, matches Users’ trades for Collection Assets or Collection Asset linked products;


4.3 Not every Service offered by NCollector is addressed in these Terms. Any Service may be subject to agreements specific to that Service. For the terms governing specific services, please refer to the “Product documentation” section of the Website.


4.4 In general, our Services facilitate transactions that match users with other users. In certain limited circumstances, NCollector's Related Parties may trade on the NCollector Platform or use other Services on a proprietary basis, as principal, or on behalf of others. Such trading activity may include, but is not limited to, buying or selling Collection Assets or derivatives, placing Orders to buy or sell Collection Assets or derivatives, acting as a market maker for certaiNCollector Assets or derivatives, and trading as a principal in Collection Asset transactions or derivatives. Orders submitted and trades executed by NCollector's Related Parties are not distinguished from other trades on the NCollector Platform. Thus, your trade may be matched and executed against NCollector's Related Parties. Further, the trading activity of NCollector's Related Parties, as described herein, may include NCollector's Related Parties engaging in transactions with multiple counterparties, including other Users, where interests may differ. NCollector and its Related Parties have no duty to act solely on your behalf and undertakes no responsibility to do so. You consent and do not object to the trading activity of NCollector and its Related Parties, which includes without limitation your trade potentially being matched and executed against NCollector’s Related Parties, and you shall not bring a claim against NCollector and its Related Parties where your trade is matched and executed in this way.


4.5 By accepting the Terms, you expressly agree to the pooling of your Collection Assets with the Collection Assets of other users. Collection Assets of users are not protected by deposit protection or a deposit insurance scheme. In the case of an irreconcilable shortfall, you may not receive some or any of your deposited assets or funds.


4.6 You represent and warrant that you are the ultimate and effective legal and beneficial owner of any Collection Assets transferred to your account or wallet on the NCollector Platform, that you shall not act as nominee or trustee for any other person and that you shall not transfer, assign, pledge, charge or otherwise create any security interest or encumbrance whatsoever over such Collection Assets.

For Futures, P2P, and Margin Lending, we reserve the right to rollback transactions as described in the respective user agreement.

4.15 Users acknowledge that we may delist any Collection Asset from the NCollector Platform at our sole discretion.


4.16 With regard to abnormal transaction handling, while using the Services, you agree to and acknowledge the possibility of discontinuity and disruption of the Services due to connectivity problems of the Collection Asset networks or other force majeure.

4.17 We have the right to know the purpose and background of the users who use our products or services. Users should provide comprehensive and accurate information as required. If we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the User has provided false information, we are entitled to restrict the User from the use of some or all of Services temporarily or permanently.

5.5 A User may only place an Order using the NCollector Platform if the User’s Account contains sufficient Assets to cover the Order and any associated fees. If the Account does not contain sufficient Assets to complete an Order on the NCollector Platform, the User will not be able to complete such Order on the NCollector Platform.


5.6 When a User places an Order, that quantity of the relevant Asset (including any applicable Fees) is placed on hold in the Account until the Order fills, expires, or is canceled. Any unfilled portion of an Order will remain on hold until it fills, expires, or is canceled.


5.7 A User may withdraw or cancel an Order after it is submitted, as long as such Order has not been executed pending confirmation by the relevant Collection Asset network. Collection Assets which are the subject of a pending Trade shall not be reflected in a User’s Account, and shall therefore not be available for the User to trade. Users understand and agree that:


(a) Trades are irreversible once Orders are executed; and


(b) while NCollector may, at its sole discretion, reverse a Trade under certain extraordinary conditions (including but not limited to breaches of the Applicable Laws and Regulations or Financial

(a) by entering into a Trade on the NCollector Platform, a User is instructing NCollector to carry out the Trade at the buy price or sell price quoted on the NCollector Platform on the basis of which the User placed the Order, and the User agrees to pay any associated fees. The price of a Trade shall be determined to be the price agreed between the User and the other party to that Trade. NCollector shall not be a party to such Trade or responsible for setting or negotiating the price of a Trade, except as set out specifically in these Terms. NCollector does not guarantee the completion of any attempted sale or purchase of Collection Assets;


(b) NCollector carries out Trades based on price-time priority;


(c) Users are subject to the same price-time priority as any other Users of the NCollector Platform;


(d) Orders submitted through the API are subject to the same price-time priority as Orders received from the NCollector Platform;


(e) all filled Orders are settled immediately by debiting and crediting the relevant balances of Assets in both parties’ Accounts. Users will receive immediate notification of their fill(s) via the NCollector Platform and/or via email or any other agreed means of communication and they can be viewed in a User’s trading history;


(f) APIs enable a User to stream live prices into their own user interface as well as to perform the same Trade or to place the same Order that is available to the User on the NCollector Platform;

(g) For Users of NCollector Singapore specifically, the counterparty to every User’s Trade shall be NCollector Singapore; and


(h) in order to maintain a fair and orderly NCollector Platform, NCollector may restrict the number of Orders allowed through the API and monitor messages through the API in order to:

(i) protect the API against denial of service attacks; (ii)prevent the abuse of an order book; and

(ii) improve the overall trading experience on the NCollector Platform.


5.10 NCollector may limit the number of Orders placed through a User’s Account.

5.13 Users understand and agree that there may be a delay in executing a Trade on the NCollector Platform as a result of NCollector’s secure trading protocols which require Collection Asset private keys to be stored securely using a combination of online and offline storage for added security.

Scheduled downtime


5.14 The User agrees and understands that part of or all of the Services may be periodically unavailable during scheduled maintenance.


5.15 Downtime may be communicated in advance to the User via a Notice published on the NCollector Platform or by other means.

Suspension of Services


5.16 The User acknowledges and agrees that NCollector, in its sole discretion, may suspend all or part of the Services, or the User’s access to all or part of the Services, whenever NCollector determines in NCollector’s sole discretion that:

(a) the User may have breached these Terms; or

(b) the proper functioning of the NCollector Platform is in jeopardy.


5.17 For the purposes of Clause 5.16(b), the proper functioning of the NCollector Platform will be in jeopardy in the following circumstances:


(a) when a computer or telecommunications network ceases to operate or function as a result of an accident;


(b) in the event of a Force Majeure Event which affects the provision of the Services;


(c) when NCollector’s assets or the User’s Assets, or the NCollector Platform, are the subject of an attempted or actual malicious attack which may, among other things, result in the theft or loss of such assets;

(i) when for any other reason, NCollector determines in its sole discretion that the suspension is necessary.

6. RISK DISCLOSURE


6.1 This Clause 6 provides Users with information about the risks associated with trading in Collection Assets and any other Services provided by NCollector. Applicants and Users should read this Risk Statement carefully before applying to open an Account and executing Trades.


6.2 This Clause 6 is not intended to disclose or discuss in detail all the risks associated with trading or holding Collection Assets or the use of the Services provided by NCollector. This Risk Statement is not exhaustive and only outlines the general nature of the risks involved. Users should ensure that their decisions are made on a well-informed basis, and they should undertake their own assessment as to the suitability of trading in Collection Assets in the light of their experience, objectives, financial resources and their specific needs and requirements.


6.3 By opening an Account and undertaking Trades, a User is deemed to have reviewed, understood and accepted the risks associated with the Services provided by NCollector.


6.4 The market for Collection Assets is very new developing and the risks of trading such assets are not fully understood. As such, NCollector may update this Risk Statement periodically, as notified to Users from time to time, to list additional risks in transacting in Collection Assets, but accepts no liability whatsoever in the event that any risk is not addressed in the risk statement.


6.5 Users acknowledge and agree that it is the User’s responsibility to stay up to date with the updated Risk Statement published by NCollector from time to time.

Risks of Trading on the NCollector Platform


6.5 Collection Asset transactions may not be subject to a right of claim under an investor compensation fund established by a government or regulatory authority and Collection Assets held in an account on NCollector may not be protected by deposit protection schemes.


6.6 During the course of using our Services, you may be subject to various fees. Prior to making any transactions, you must obtain details and a full understanding of all commissions, fees, and costs for which you may be liable. If any of these fees are not clear to you, you must request clarification of what fees will be applicable in specific monetary terms before using the Services or entering into any transactions.


6.7 Please note that Collection Assets received or held by NCollector may be subject to Applicable Laws of international jurisdictions beyond your country of residence and/or citizenship.


6.8 There are substantial risks when allowing another person to trade or operate your account you have with us, and it is possible that any instructions you provide are not properly authorized or executed. You accept all risks of such operation and fully and irrevocably release NCollector from any and all liability arising out of or in connection with all the aforementioned.


6.9 Collection Asset transactions are irreversible. Thus, accidental or fraudulent transactions with respect to Collection Assets may not be recoverable. You must therefore exercise caution when making any Collection Asset transfers and are solely liable for any losses that may arise.


6.10 An order made on NCollector’s platform is binding upon completion of the steps described in these Terms. An order will not be reserved unless otherwise provided in these Terms. There is a risk that the final binding order does not occur simultaneously along with your instructions. Thus, you may suffer losses due to the fact that an order is not carried out at the desired time. In particular, contingent orders such as options or perpetual swaps may not limit your losses to the intended amounts due to the volatility of market conditions.


6.11 There is a genuine risk that unauthorized third parties may access your account(s) and make transactions without your knowledge or authorization, whether by obtaining control over a device or account you use or by other methods.


6.12 NCollector is not obliged to provide any adaptations, enhancements, and/or modifications to the materials and information provided on the NCollector Platform. This means, for example, that you may have an out-of-date version of the NCollector app, and new features may not be incorporated to the version of the app you use. It is your responsibility to ensure you update and download applicable updates and versions.

Technology risk


6.13 Collection Assets and the NCollector Platform depend on the internet and other technology (including various communication methods and mediums). However, the public nature of the internet means that parts or the entire internet may be unreliable or unavailable at any given time. Furthermore, interruption, delay, corruption or loss of data, the loss of confidentiality or privacy through the course of data transmission, or malware transmission may occur when transmitting data via the internet and/or other technology. The above may result in your transactions not being executed according to your instruction at the requested time, or not executed at all.


6.14 There is no technology that is completely secure or safe. You should therefore exercise caution when using any technology.


6.15 The internet as well as other electronic media (including but not limited to electronic devices, services by third-party telecom service providers such as mobile phones or other handheld trading devices or interactive voice response systems) are an inherently unreliable form of communication, and such unreliability may be beyond NCollector’s control.


6.16 Any information (including any document or data) transmitted, or communication or transactions made, over the internet or through other electronic media (including but not limited to electronic devices, services by third-party telecom service providers such as mobile phones or other handheld trading devices or interactive voice response systems) may be subject to interruption, transmission blackout, delayed transmission due to data volume, internet traffic, market volatility or incorrect data transmission (including incorrect price quotation), or pause and/or delay of price data feed due to the public nature of the internet or other electronic media.

Legal & market risks


6.17  You are responsible for complying with Applicable Laws and Regulations for determining which laws apply to your transactions, including any applicable tax laws. You are solely responsible for reporting and paying any taxes arising from your use of the Services.

6.18 Due to the nature of Collection Assets, your bank may freeze your account or reject any incoming funds if your bank concludes that such funds are the result of buying or selling Collection Assets.


6.19 You may suffer losses as a result of value depreciation of a Collection Asset you paid as a result of controls imposed by a Competent Authority. Repayment or payment of any amounts due to you may be delayed or even prevented by controls or other actions imposed by government or regulatory authorities over Collection Assets and/or their ecosystem that these Competent Authorities control or regulate.


6.20 At any point in time, one or more persons may directly or indirectly control significant portions of the total supply of any particular Collection Asset. These persons are often referred to colloquially as “whales”. Whether acting individually or collectively, these whales may have significant impact, and may be able to influence or cause significant market events that may have a detrimental effect on price, value or functionality of Collection Assets. Furthermore, these whales or other network participants and users may make decisions that are not in your best interest as an investor of Collection Assets.

Regulatory risk


6.21 Any regulatory changes or actions by the Competent Authorities or any authorities that are not connected to NCollector may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of a Collection Asset, or limit your ability to transact on the NCollector Platform.

Other Potential Risks


6.22 Website and internet pages, investor relations releases, oral or written outlooks, presentations, audio and video recordings of events, and other publications from websites may contain optimistic, forward-looking statements that reflect NCollector and its management’s current views with respect to prospective projects and events. Certain words, including but not limited to, “anticipate,” “assume”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “project”, and “should”, as well as other expressions that often identify forward looking statements. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and changes due to many factors, including but not limited to: changes in Collection Asset and Fiat Currency exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices; the introduction of new and/or competing technology and ideas; increased market incentives; and a decline in demand for current Services or other products.
