ARCHAX CLIENT AGREEMENT

UNREGULATED BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION

1.1

Archax Limited (“Archax”, “we” or “us”), is a company incorporated in England & Wales (company number 11302455) whose registered office is at 71-75 Shelton Street, London, WC2H 9JQ. Archax is authorised and regulated by the FCA of 12 Endeavour Square, London E20 1JN, United Kingdom (FCA registration number 838656). In accordance with Applicable Law, we are registered with the FCA as a cryptoasset business for certain cryptoasset activity we carry out under this Agreement (FCA reference number 838656).

1.2

This Agreement sets out how we will operate the Archax Platform for Digital Assets and how you can access the Archax Platform for Digital Assets and the Digital Asset Services that will be available to you. It is important you understand that this Agreement and the Digital Asset Services provided under it relate entirely to services and products that are not regulated in the UK. The digital assets offered to you under this Agreement are not specified investments under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000; and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and the Financial Ombudsman Service do not apply to the services provided in respect of such digital assets. This means that you will not be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme if we are unable to meet our liabilities to you in full or the Financial Ombudsman Service for dispute resolution in the UK.

1.3

Before using any of our Digital Asset Services, you will be required to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as they apply to the relevant Digital Asset Services. The Agreement will be legally binding when you accept the terms. You should read the terms that apply to the relevant Digital Asset Service(s) and the Risk Disclosures for Digital Assets and Digital Asset Services available at www.archax.com carefully before entering into this Agreement. If you are not clear about the Risk Disclosures for Digital Assets and Digital Asset Services or what they mean, we recommend that you contact us or seek independent professional advice before entering into this Agreement.

1.4

We may amend the terms of this Agreement (including any of its Digital Asset Service Schedules) from time to time by giving you at least 30 (thirty) days written notice. Subject to Applicable Law (e.g. where your express consent is required), your continued use of our Digital Asset Services following the effective date of the amended terms as notified to you through the Archax Portal, will be deemed to constitute your acceptance of such new terms. You may at any time terminate this Agreement in accordance with clause 18.

1.5

If you wish to engage in relation to services and products that are Regulated Services and Products, you will need to enter into separate arrangements with Archax which are subject to different terms and conditions and disclosures.

2.6

Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement and subject to Applicable Law, we may in our sole discretion modify or change any of the Digital Asset Services and/or the Archax ATF or aspects of it at any time without liability for compensation or damages, with or without prior written notice to you (provided that where prior written notice is not given, written notice shall be given as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter).

SUPPORTED DIGITAL ASSETS

4.1

It is your responsibility to ensure that you only use the Digital Asset Services in respect of Supported Digital Assets.

4.2

We will publish a current list of all Supported Digital Assets on www.archax.com. The list of Supported Digital Assets may change from time to time and the fact that we may provide, or have provided, Digital Asset Services in relation to a particular digital asset does not mean that we will continue to support the digital asset in the future. We expressly reserve the right to change the designation of a digital asset from being a Supported Digital Asset to being a digital asset that is not a Supported Digital Asset (“non-Supported Digital Asset”). We may make such changes without liability for compensation or damages.

4.3

The decision to add to or remove a digital asset from the list of Supported Digital Assets and any determination that a particular digital is a non-Supported Digital Asset is ours alone and subject to our discretion. If you request us to provide Digital Asset Services in respect of a particular digital asset, we may, subject to us giving you prior written notice, seek a legal opinion at your cost on the matter from an external legal counsel selected by us.

4.4

If you instruct us in respect of a digital asset that is a non-Supported Digital Asset, we may decline your instructions and notify you accordingly and, where we have already accepted your instruction, we may subsequently inform you that we are unable to carry out your instruction due to the digital asset being, or having become, a non-Supported Digital Asset. Any funds or other eligible assets that we have already received from you in respect of your instructions, will be returned to you.

4.5

If we change the designation of a digital asset from being a Supported Digital Asset to being a non-Supported Digital Asset:

4.5.1

we will cease accepting new deposits of the non-Supported Digital Asset; and

4.5.2

we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable so you can withdraw the non- Supported Digital Asset and transfer it into your Client Third Party Wallet or an alternative wallet address held by you that is acceptable to us within the period specified in such notice. If you fail to transfer the non-Supported Digital Asset within the specified period, we may in our sole discretion:

(a)

transfer the non-Supported Digital Asset into your Client Third Party Wallet or an alternative address held by you that is acceptable to us; or

(b)

dispose of and/or exchange the non-Supported Digital Assets for Supported Digital Assets or for Fiat;

and charge to you any additional cost that we may incur in acting in accordance with clause 4.5.

4.6

If you receive a digital asset by way of an airdrop which is, or which we determine to be a non- Supported Digital Asset, we shall where possible and permitted under Applicable Law, attempt to deliver that digital asset to your Client Third Party Wallet or an alternative wallet address held by you that is acceptable to us.

4.7

In the event of a Hard Fork, we will in our sole discretion determine which of the Forked Networks we will support. Any digital assets underpinned by a Forked Network that we decide not to support will be non-Supported Digital Assets and we shall, where possible and permitted under Applicable Law, attempt to deliver such non-Supported Digital Assets to your Client Third Party Wallet or an alternative wallet address held by you that is acceptable to us.

Archax
71-75 Shelton Street
London, WC2H 9JQ

4.8

If, for whatever reason, we are unable to deliver or we, in our reasonable opinion, determine that there are valid reasons (including operational, technical, regulatory or reputational reasons) why we cannot deliver the non-Supported Digital Asset as described in clauses 4.6 and 4.7 to you, you shall have no right to or interest in such non-Supported Digital Asset and we shall have no liability whatsoever to you in respect of such non-Supported Digital Assets.

UNDERLYING CUSTOMERS OF THE CLIENT

You may request to use the Digital Asset Services as part of providing your own services to Underlying Customers by contacting us at onboarding@archax.com. Where we agree to any such request, you will be our Client and we will have no client relationship with your Underlying Customers. You are required to identify every Underlying Customer which you will service using the Digital Asset Services and to collect certain documents and/or information about each of the Underlying Customers in order to satisfy the AML Requirements, in accordance with your policy based on the AML Requirements you are subject to (the “Client AML Policy”). You agree that you will at all times comply with your Client AML Policy.

1.3

Where relevant, you agree to provide us with a copy of your current Client AML Policy when opening an account under clause 5 and you will notify us within 2 (two) Business Days if any part of your Client AML Policy is amended.

Unless we have reasonable grounds to believe a more frequent audit is required (in which case the audit may happen at any point, subject to clause 7.3), once every 12 (twelve) months we may, in our sole discretion, carry out an audit in order to ensure that you are complying with this clause 7. Where we require an audit to be performed, we shall expressly notify you of our audit request and the use of this clause 7.

7.3

You shall co-operate with all audit requests and shall use best endeavours to ensure that the audit is carried out during the scheduled period of time. If we, at any point, identify or suspect that you are not complying with this clause 7, we may suspend any/all of the Digital Asset Services as we see fit until the matter is resolved to our satisfaction. In addition, we may terminate this Agreement in accordance with clause 18.

7.4

These audits may be carried out by an Archax internal auditing service or by an external firm subject to ensuring appropriate professional secrecy and us giving a minimum of 15 (fifteen) Business Days’ notice.

If an external firm is refused, we will appoint another one not subject to such conflicts.

7.5

The audit report shall be communicated to both you and us. The fees of the audit will be at your expense. Where the fees of the audit are invoiced to us, we may charge these as a Fee to you.

7.6

If the conclusions of certain audits contain recommendations that you modify or enhance your rules and procedures, including any part of the Client AML Policy, you shall bear the costs relating to the implementation of such recommendations.

7.7

The Parties agree that the auditing procedure or its non-implementation does not in any way exempt the Parties from compliance with their obligations under this Agreement.

7.8

The Parties agree that each of them shall be responsible for undertaking their own necessary anti-money laundering and counter terrorism checks in accordance with AML Requirements and each Party shall remain responsible for its own compliance with AML Regulations. You agree to provide us with all of the ‘know your client’ information, which you collect from each Underlying Customer in accordance with the Client AML Policy. We may postpone or suspend the provision of any/all of the Digital Asset Services until such information is provided.

9.1.1

following successful set-up of your account, such instructions, orders or other communications are placed via your account through the Archax Platform for Digital Assets; and

9.1.2

in all other circumstances, we reasonably believe such instructions, orders or other communication are from you or your Representative.

9.2

If we receive any instructions orally (e.g. by telephone), you shall confirm such instructions in writing either before 5pm London time that day (if the day on which we receive your oral instructions is a Business Day) or before 5pm London time on the following Business Day (if the day on which we receive your oral instructions is not a Business Day).

9.5

We may in our absolute discretion refuse to act on an instruction without giving any reason, including if we, in our reasonable opinion, consider:

acting on the instructions would be impracticable;

this is necessary for the protection of our rights under this Agreement.

RISKS AND RISK DISCLOSURES

10.1

Our Digital Asset Services are not appropriate for everyone. Digital assets are considered very high risk, speculative investments. They are volatile digital investments and prices can fluctuate significantly at any given moment. This means that you are at high risk of losing money quickly and you may lose all the money you have invested in a transaction. There is no guarantee that any Supported Digital Assets can be converted back into cash.

10.2

You are strongly recommended to read and you agree to read and have regard to the Risk Disclosures for Digital Assets and Digital Asset Services which we will place and make available to you on the Archax Portal. If you are not clear about the Risk Disclosures for Digital Assets and Digital Asset Services or what they mean, we recommend that you seek independent professional advice before entering into this Agreement and making an investment.

AVAILABILITY OF THE ARCHAX PLATFORM FOR DIGITAL ASSETS

15.1

We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the Archax Platform for Digital Assets is available for you to use at any time. However, for various reasons there may be times where the Archax Platform for Digital Assets may not be available, such as due to technical difficulties or for regulatory reasons where we may not be able to receive your orders or allow you to access the Archax Platform for Digital Assets. If this happens, where possible we will seek to provide you with notice in advance or as soon as we can. You can also contact us by email at support@archax.com.

Archax
71-75 Shelton Street
London, WC2H 9JQ

15.2

We do not own or control the software underpinning the Supported Digital Assets available for trading on the Archax Platform for Digital Assets. Generally, the underlying software protocols are ‘open source’ which means anyone can use, copy, modify and distribute them. The underlying protocols can be subject to sudden changes in operating rules (“Forks”). Forks can materially affect the way in which the Supported Digital Assets function and lead to an extreme price volatility and even a change in the name of the Supported Digital Asset. We have no responsibility and accept no liability whatsoever in respect of any Forks and Forked digital assets which we determine to be non-Supported Digital Assets in accordance with clause 4.

16.

You can do this by notifying us in accordance with clause 33 of your decision to cancel.

16.2

If you exercise your right to cancel properly, we will cease providing the Digital Asset Services in whole or in part, as applicable, and terminate the Agreement accordingly, but such cancellation will not affect those Digital Asset Services that have already been provided or are in the course of being provided and you will be liable for any fees incurred as further described in clause 12. If you do not cancel this Agreement in accordance with this clause 16, this Agreement will continue until terminated.

17.

SUSPENSION OF DIGITAL ASSET SERVICES

17.1

We may withhold, delay or place such restrictions as we consider appropriate on any/all Digital Asset Services or any part of the functionality including, for the avoidance of doubt, in respect of your account, where:

we know or reasonably suspect that any use of the Digital Asset Services:

17.2.2

would not compromise our reasonable security measures.

17.3

We shall not be liable to you for any reasonable action we take to suspend your ability to access or use any of the Digital Asset Services or withhold settlement of any transactions in accordance with this clause 17.

17.4

DIGITAL ASSETS AND YOUR FIAT MONEY

3.1

We will, in carrying out our responsibilities under this Agreement, comply with the English Law. Under the English law, digital assets such as the Supported Digital Assets are not regulated products and the provision of custody and staking services in respect of the Supported Digital Assets as well as the holding of money for, or on behalf of, you in connection with any trading you undertake in respect of Supported Digital Assets are not regulated services. This means that any Supported Digital Assets which we will hold for you under this Agreement and Your Fiat Money will not benefit from the protections afforded to Regulated Products and Services under the FCA’s Custody Rules or Client Money Rules. If, for whatever reason, there is a shortfall in the Client Digital Assets that we hold for you or in the amount of Your Fiat Money, you may not be able to recover these.

3.2

To the extent that any Supported Digital Assets or services provided by us in respect of Your Fiat Money are regulated under the laws and regulations of another jurisdiction, you will not benefit from such protections under this Agreement.

3.3

We will endeavour to protect any Supported Digital Assets and Your Fiat Money which you place in our custody in accordance with best practices as further set out in these Custody and Staking Terms for Digital Assets.

3.4

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, we will always hold Your Fiat Money separately from any money belonging to Archax.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR DIGITAL ASSETS

4.1.1

the Archax Trust Wallet as further described in clauses 4.3 – 4.8;

an Archax Third Party Wallet as further described in clauses 4.9 – 4.11; and

4.2

Client Digital Assets held in custody by us will not be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Archax Trust Wallet

4.3

We will treat your acceptance of these Custody and Staking Terms for Digital Assets as instructions by you to us that, except in the circumstances specified in clause 4.9 or if otherwise instructed by you, your Client Digital Assets are to be held by the Custodian on trust in the Archax Trust Wallet in accordance with the terms of the Digital Assets Trust Deed and that, where necessary, we may make all relevant arrangements with the Custodian to facilitate the holding of your Client Digital Assets in accordance with the Digital Assets Trust Deed.

4.4

The Digital Assets Trust Deed is available on the Archax Portal and set out in Annex 1 to these Custody and Staking Terms for Digital Assets.

4.5

The Archax Trust Wallet will be operated by the Custodian and the Custodian, in their capacity as trustee, will have legal title to all Client Digital Assets in the Archax Trust Wallet with beneficial title to your Client Digital Assets remaining with you. For further detail please refer to the FAQ on custody services available on the Archax Portal.

Archax
71-75 Shelton Street
London, WC2H 9JQ

4.6

You will be able to access the Archax Trust Wallet through the Archax Platform for Digital Assets and give instructions to effect any Digital Asset Custody Transactions in respect of assets held in that wallet. You will interact with Archax for these purposes. Only in exceptional circumstances (e.g. upon the occurrence of an insolvency event in respect of Archax) will the Custodian accept instructions directly from you in respect of your Client Assets held in the Archax Trust Wallet.

4.7

The balance of Supported Digital Assets shown in your user interface of the Archax Platform for Digital Assets represents the balance of all Client Digital Assets which we hold for you in the Archax Trust Wallet (your “Wallet Account”).

4.8

We may operate different Archax Trust Wallets for different types of Digital Asset. Unless expressly stated otherwise, for the purpose of these Custody and Staking Terms for Digital Assets, we refer to all such wallets together as the “Archax Trust Wallet”.

Archax Third Party Wallet

4.9

There may be circumstances in which we are unable to hold Client Digital Assets in the Archax Trust Wallet. We will hold Client Digital Assets in an Archax Third Party Wallet in the following circumstances:

4.9.1

where the Archax Platform for Digital Assets and/or the Custodian software does not support the holding of Supported Digital Assets in the Archax Trust Wallet;

4.9.2

where we have agreed to hold your Client Digital Assets in an Archax Third Party Wallet.

4.10

We will exercise due skill, care and diligence when selecting any third party wallet providers and will select any third party wallet providers on the basis of criteria that we deem appropriate for the holding and storage of particular Client Digital Assets.

4.11

Any instruction to effect a Digital Asset Custody Transaction or which otherwise relates to Client Digital Assets held by us for you in an Archax Third Party Wallet, must be addressed to broker@archax.com.

Client Third Party Wallet

4.12

If you wish to hold your Client Digital Assets in your own wallet, you may instruct us to transfer your Client Digital Assets to your Client Third Party Wallet or, where you withdraw Client Digital Assets from the Archax Trust Wallet, you can effect a Withdrawal through the Archax Platform for Digital Assets.

4.13

We accept no responsibility whatsoever for the safekeeping, custody or security of any Client Digital Assets held in a Client Third Party Wallet once they are transferred out of an Archax Wallet.

Pooling and Individual Segregation

4.14

Any Client Digital Assets held in an Archax Wallet may be pooled together with Supported Digital Assets held by us which belong to other Archax clients (“Pooling”). Where Client Digital Assets are held on a pooled basis, we maintain records of all Supported Digital Assets in each Archax Wallet specifying which Supported Digital Assets are allocated and belong to each of our clients (beneficially).

Archax
71-75 Shelton Street
London, WC2H 9JQ

4.15

Because of the Pooling, there is a risk of loss. If, for whatever reason there is an unreconciled shortfall of Supported Digital Assets in an Archax Wallet or we become insolvent, you may not have a claim for a specific amount of Supported Digital Assets but you will share such shortfall proportionately with other Archax clients for whom we hold Supported Digital Assets in the same wallet.

4.16

If deemed appropriate we may in our absolute discretion decide to hold your Client Digital Assets in individually segregated Archax Wallets. In that case, the Archax Wallet will only comprise your Client Digital Assets and they will not be pooled with any Client Digital Asset belonging to another Archax client.

Custody Transactions

4.17

Subject to Applicable Law and the terms of this Agreement, the following types of transaction are available to be performed in connection with your use of an Archax Wallet:

4.17.1

depositing Supported Digital Assets in an Archax Wallet (“Deposit”); and

4.17.2

withdrawing Supported Digital Assets from an Archax Wallet to a Client Third Party Wallet or an alternative wallet address held by you that is acceptable to us (“Withdrawal”),

(together the “Digital Asset Custody Transactions” and each a “Digital Asset Custody Transaction”).

4.18

We may, in our sole discretion, decide not to accept a Deposit of Supported Digital Assets from you and, subject to Applicable Law, return a Deposit to you to your Client Third Party Wallet or an alternative wallet address held by you that is acceptable to us. Where a third party makes, or attempts to make, a Deposit of Supported Digital Assets to your Archax Wallet, we may in our sole discretion decide not to accept the Deposit and, subject to Applicable Law, return it to the third party.

4.19

You must ensure that you hold a sufficient balance of Supported Digital Assets in your Archax Wallets for any instructions you submit in respect of a Digital Asset Transaction. Subject to any limits imposed by us or any regulatory restrictions, you may make a Withdrawal in respect of some or all of the Client Digital Assets held in your Archax Wallets. We may refuse to process a Withdrawal if it would leave insufficient Client Digital Assets in your Archax Wallets for the settlement of any unsettled transactions you have entered in your capacity as an ATF Trading Member.

4.20

In order to authorise a Digital Asset Transaction, you may be asked to authenticate yourself and to authorise the transaction or any related operation in such a way as required by us.

4.21

The status of any Digital Asset Custody Transaction will be reflected in the balance of your Wallet Account where your Client Digital Assets are held in the Archax Trust Wallet.

4.22

Where we are unable to process your instructions (e.g. due to a lack of sufficient Client Digital Assets in your Archax Wallets or any other failure that prevents the transaction from being completed), any Supported Digital Assets that were locked in your Archax Wallets will be released and become available for use in connection with any other Digital Asset Transaction you may instruct.

Archax
71-75 Shelton Street
London, WC2H 9JQ

4.23

We will use reasonable endeavours to process your instructions. You acknowledge and agree that the actual time for processing and posting certain Digital Asset Transactions (e.g. in the case of a Transfer from an Archax Wallet to a Client Third Party Wallet) will be subject to the occurrence of the requisite number of network confirmation and may depend on the operation of underlying protocols, governing principles, norms and conventions and other factors outside our control.

Forks and airdrops

4.24

In the event of a Fork or an airdrop, you agree that we may at our sole discretion take such action as further set out in clause 4 of the General Terms for Digital Asset Services.

Nominated accounts and Client Third Party Wallets

4.25

You may, with our agreement (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and subject to any verification or due diligence we may wish to undertake, nominate one or more:

4.25.1

bank accounts or set of banking procedures (a “Nominated Bank Account”) to be used in connection with:

(a)

you receiving fiat money; and

(b)

the funding of transactions you enter into in your capacity as an ATF Trading Member on the Archax Platform for Digital Assets;

4.25.2

Client Third Party Wallets for use in connection with any Deposits or Withdrawals you would like to make.

4.26

If you nominate one or more Nominated Bank Accounts or Client Third Party Wallets to be used in connection with any of the purposes listed in clause 4.25 we will use such Nominated Bank Account(s) and Client Third Party Wallet until you notify us in writing in accordance with this Agreement that you wish different accounts and/or procedures to be used by us for these purposes.

4.27

You must give us notice of a replacement Nominated Bank Account and each time you wish to replace an existing Client Third Party Wallet with another Client Third Party Wallet in good time before you close a Nominated Bank Account or Client Third Party Wallet. We shall not be liable for any loss due to you changing your Nominated Bank Account and/or Client Third Party Wallet and any delays to processing your transaction this may cause.

4.28

We are not responsible for any losses or delays that may result from any payments made to or from any Nominated Bank Account and Client Third Party Wallet.

Statements

4.29

You can at any time check the balance of the Client Digital Assets shown in your Wallet Account.

4.30

We will provide you with balance statements of all Client Digital Assets in your Archax Wallets on a monthly basis. You are at any time entitled to request a balance statement of the Client Digital Assets held by us for you in an Archax Third Party Wallet. You agree that we may charge you such amount as set out in the Archax Fee Schedule.

Archax
71-75 Shelton Street
London, WC2H 9JQ

Measures to detect and prevent unauthorised use

4.31

We will conduct reconciliations in regular intervals and at least daily between the total balance of Client Digital Assets held by us and the total of all balances recorded in the Archax Wallets. If we identify any discrepancy, you agree that subject to Applicable Law we shall have the right to take such measures as we, in our sole discretion, deem necessary and appropriate to resolve the discrepancy and investigate the reasons for such discrepancy.

4.32

Unless otherwise agreed with you, we will not loan or otherwise use any Client Digital Assets for our own account or for the account of any other client or any other person.

Unclaimed Client Digital Assets

4.33

If we hold Client Digital Assets in custody for you and your account has been closed for at least 6 (six) years or we have no record of your use of our Digital Asset Services for a period of at least 6 (six) years and we have been unable to trace you despite taking reasonable steps to do so, you shall subject to Applicable Law have no right to or interest in the Client Digital Assets and we may take (or refrain from taking) such action in respect of such Client Digital Assets as permitted under Applicable Law.

Legal proceedings

4.34

Except to the extent required by English Law, we will not have any obligation to be involved in relation to any Client Digital Asset in:

4.34.1

any legal proceeding on your behalf (including any legal proceeding to protect any interest in respect of such Client Digital Asset); or

4.34.2

any corporate activity including submission of a resolution, requisition of general meetings or similar activity.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE DIGITAL ASSETS STAKING SERVICE

Staking Solutions

5.1

Subject to Applicable Law and the terms of this Agreement, there may be circumstances in which you are given the opportunity to stake your Client Digital Assets for the provision of validation services to blockchain networks, including without limitation, producing and validating new blocks, processing transactions, and securing the network (the “Digital Asset Staking Service”). You are not required to use the Digital Asset Staking Service and can choose whether you wish to do so.

5.2

We will notify you if the Digital Asset Staking Service is available and in relation to which Client Digital Assets, and inform you of any additional terms on which Digital Asset Staking Service will be provided to you including the duration of any staking period. If you wish to use the Digital Asset Staking Service, you must let us know the Client Digital Assets that will be used for the Digital Asset Staking Service, with these Client Digital Assets then becoming Staked Client Digital Assets.

5.3

If you wish to use the Digital Asset Staking Service, we will stake your Staked Client Digital Assets on your behalf with one or more Node Operators. You will be informed whether Staked Client Digital Assets will be held in the Archax Trust Wallet or a Archax Third Party Wallet and Archax will then arrange for your Staked Client Digital Assets to be connected with a Node Operator.

Archax
71-75 Shelton Street
London, WC2H 9JQ

5.4

In return for staking your Staked Client Digital Assets, the Node Operator will agree to provide you with Staking Returns. You have no right to any Staking Returns until they are received by Archax and any Staking Rewards that are received by Archax in relation to your Staked Client Digital Assets will be placed into your Archax Wallet promptly when we receive them. You may request that Staking Rewards are included in your Staked Client Digital Assets. Please note that we are not responsible for the amount or timing of the Staking Rewards and, as a result, we do not guarantee that you will receive Staking Rewards, any specific Staking Reward, or any return over time as a result of staking your Client Digital Assets.

5.5

You will be able to view your Staked Client Digital Assets through the Archax Platform and you will be able to give instructions to Archax to effect any Digital Asset Custody Transaction in respect of Staked Client Digital Assets, subject to any restrictions and conditions on Staked Client Digital Assets. These restrictions or conditions may include:

5.5.1

the time taken to “unstake” any Staked Client Digital Assets, before they can then be used for a Digital Asset Custody Transaction;

5.5.2

restrictions on your ability to sell, withdraw or transfer the Staked Client Digital Assets (for example, a Staked Client Digital Assets may be staked for a certain period of time); or

5.5.3

requirements that certain conditions are met before you are eligible for any Staking Reward (for example, you may be required to stake a minimum amount or balance of Staked Client Digital Assets to qualify for any Staking Rewards).

5.6

Staked Client Digital Assets may offer you the ability to vote on matters related to the governance of protocol-level issues. You will be informed whether any voting rights are associated with your Staked Client Digital Assets at the time they are staked, although Archax may at its sole discretion cease supporting voting at any time. Should you have any voting rights, Archax will comply with your instruction to vote to the extent Archax supports voting for such Staked Client Digital Assets. In certain cases Archax or the applicable protocol may not support or permit delegated voting, in which Archax may vote on your behalf based on the protocol’s recommendation.

5.7

Some Staked Client Digital Asset Network may impose penalties on Staked Client Digital Assets as a result of the Node Operator failing to operate a Node in accordance with the rules by which the distributed ledger technology network or protocol operates (for example, if the Node Operator incorrectly validates a transaction) (“Slashing Penalty”).

While Archax will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any Slashing Penalties, you understand and accept the risk of loss of some or all of the Staked Client Digital Assets as a result of the imposition of Slashing Penalties. We accept no responsibility whatsoever for the preservation or return of any Staked Client Digital Assets once they have been staked as part of the Digital Asset Staking Service.

ARRANGEMENTS IN RESPECT OF YOUR FIAT MONEY

Holding Your Fiat Money

6.1

We will treat your acceptance of these Custody and Staking Terms for Digital Assets as instructions by you to us that, unless otherwise instructed by you, Your Fiat Money is to be held by the Custodian on trust in a bank account in accordance with the terms of the Fiat Money Trust Deed and that, where necessary, we may make all relevant arrangements with the Custodian to facilitate the holding of Your Fiat Money in accordance with the Fiat Money Trust Deed.

Archax

6.2

The Fiat Money Trust Deed is available on the Archax Portal and set out in Annex 2 to these Custody and Staking Terms for Digital Assets.

We will endeavour to enter into arrangements with the relevant credit institution under which the credit institution acknowledges and agrees that all fiat money in the bank account opened by us is held by the Custodian in their capacity as a trustee and that the credit institution shall have certain obligations in respect of the money in that account, including that it has no recourse or right against the money in respect of any sum owed to it, or owed to any third party, on any other account. Subject to English Law, however, we will not be liable for any acts, omissions, insolvency or dissolution of any credit institution that we so select.

6.5

You will be able to give instructions in respect of Your Fiat Money held in the account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including when you wish to transfer Your Fiat Money out of the account.

6.6

Your Fiat Money is not client money for the purposes of the FCA Rules and will not be held in accordance with, or otherwise benefit from the protections afforded by, the Client Money Rules. Your Fiat Money will not be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. This means that you may lose all Your Fiat Money if we or the relevant credit institution with which we have deposited Your Fiat Money are unable to meet all liabilities owed to you.

6.11

Where we effect a transaction on your behalf or receive money in relation to the Client Digital Assets, outside the UK:

6.11.1

Your Fiat Money might have to pass through an overseas bank, an intermediate broker, a settlement agent or a counterparty located outside the UK;

6.11.2

the legal and regulatory regime applicable to Your Fiat Money may be different from the regime in the UK; and

6.11.3

if any party defaults, your position might be worse than it would be in the UK.

Reconciliations

We will operate reconciliation processes to check whether the balance of Your Fiat Money deposited by us with a reputable credit institution is equal to the balance of Your Fiat Money shown on our records.

Dormant accounts

6.13

Subject to English Law, we may transfer Your Fiat Money to a registered charity of our choice if:

6.13.1

there has been no movement in respect of Your Fiat Money in the relevant bank account for a period of at least 6 (six) years (other than any payments or receipts of charges, interest or similar items); and

6.13.2

either:

(a)

where Your Fiat Money balance in the bank account is more than £25, we:

(i)

have been unable to trace you despite having taken reasonable steps to do so; and

(ii)

having undertaken to do so, acknowledge that should you seek validly to reclaim the relevant balance in the future, we will pay to you a sum equal to the balance paid away to charity; or

(b)

where Your Fiat Money balance in the bank account is £25 or less, we have made one attempt to communicate to you to return Your Fiat Money using the most up-to-date contact details held by us in respect of you and we have not received a response from you within 28 (twenty-eight) days from the date the communication was made.

LIEN

General lien over Client Property

Subject to English Law and in addition to any general lien or other rights to which we may be entitled under English Law, we shall have a general lien over the Client Property until the satisfaction of all liabilities and obligations (whether actual or contingent) owed by you to us (whether under this Agreement or otherwise). Such lien is a continuing security regardless of any intermediate payment or settlement of account.

Archax
71-75 Shelton Street
London, WC2H 9JQ

Realising Client Property

Further to clause 7.1 and subject at all times to English Law, if you fail to pay any sum or liability which you owe us, we are entitled without prejudice to any other right or remedy which we may have:

7.2.1

to sell all or any of the Client Digital Assets; and/or

to transfer all or any of Your Fiat Money to us,

in or towards payment or discharge of any sum or liability in accordance with English Law as we may think fit.
