is based on a cryptographic protocol that can be digitally traded
and may functions as: (1) a medium of exchange; and/or (2) a unit of

(such as U.S. dollars). For more information, please refer to the

DefinitionAs used herein, “cryptocurrency” (also may be referred herein
as “virtual currency,” “digital currency,” “digital asset,” or
“digital commodity”) means a digital representation of value which
is based on a cryptographic protocol that can be digitally traded
and may functions as: (1) a medium of exchange; and/or (2) a unit of
account; and/or (3) a store of value. Cryptocurrency is
distinguished from “fiat currency”, which is the coin and
paper money of a country that is designated as its legal tender
(such as U.S. dollars). For more information, please refer to the
FATF Report, Virtual Currencies, Key Definitions and Potential
AML/CFT Risks, FINANCIAL ACTION TASK FORCE (June 2014), available

Forks and Airdropped Digital AssetsThe underlying protocols are subject to sudden changes in operating
rules, resulting in a permanent change in the consensus algorithm
resulting from the creation of a new blockchain, which can be
significantly different from the original blockchain (a
“Fork”) and implement changes in operating rules or other
features that may result in more than one version of a network
(each, a “Forked Network”) and more than one version of a
cryptocurrency (“Forked Assets”). In addition, operators of
blockchain networks, and other interested parties, may offer or
issue cryptocurrency based on existing ownership or other factors,
the issuance of which may be characterized as an interest, dividend,
or “airdrop” (collectively, “Airdropped Digital Assets”).You understand and acknowledge that Forked Networks and the
available supply of any Forked Assets and Airdropped Digital Assets
are wholly outside of the control of Zero Hash, and you further
acknowledge that our ability to deliver Forked Assets resulting from
a Forked Network and our ability to deliver Airdropped Digital
Assets may depend on third-parties that are outside of our control
and/or Zero Hash may choose to not support such Forked Asset or
Airdropped Digital Assets. You understand and acknowledge that Forks
and the issuance of Airdropped Digital Assets may materially affect
the value, function, and/or even the name of the cryptocurrencies
you store in your Hosted Wallet(s). In the event of a Fork, you
understand and acknowledge that Zero Hash may temporarily suspend
the Services (with or without advance notice to you) while we
determine, at our sole discretion, which, if any, Forked Network(s)
to support. More information on how Zero Hash treats Forks and
Airdrops may be found

8.5.1.
Unique Features of CryptocurrenciesCryptocurrencies are not legal tender in the United States and have
no intrinsic value. The price of cryptocurrencies is based on the
agreement of the parties at the time of any given transaction, which
may or may not be based on the market value of the cryptocurrency at

8.5.2.
Price VolatilityThe price of a cryptocurrency is based on the perceived value of the
cryptocurrency and subject to changes in sentiment, which make these
products highly volatile. Certain cryptocurrencies have experienced
daily price volatility of more than 25% and may be considerably
higher.You understand that we are not liable for price fluctuations in any
cryptocurrency listed or Cryptocurrency Transaction executed on the

8.5.3.
Valuation and LiquidityCryptocurrencies can be traded through privately negotiated
transactions and through numerous cryptocurrency exchanges and
intermediaries around the world, each with its own pricing mechanism
and/or order book. The lack of a centralized pricing source poses a
variety of valuation challenges. In addition, the dispersed
liquidity may pose challenges for market participants trying to exit
a position, particularly during periods of stress. Such
characteristics of the cryptocurrency markets may result in canceled
or partially filled Cryptocurrency Transactions.Zero Hash Liquidity Services, at its sole discretion, may add a
spread to each transaction executed by you on the Platform and the
executed price is not meant to imply the “market price.”

8.5.4.
CybersecurityThe cybersecurity risks of cryptocurrencies and related “wallets” or
spot exchanges include hacking vulnerabilities and a risk that
publicly distributed ledgers may not be immutable, which include 51%
attacks. A 51% attack refers to an attack on a blockchain by a
group, or coalition of groups acting in concert, controlling more
than 50% of the network’s mining hash rate or computing power which
may cause a substantial change in the underlying protocol and/or
cause significant market disruption. A cybersecurity event could
result in a substantial, immediate, and irreversible loss for market
participants that trade cryptocurrencies. Even a minor cybersecurity
event in a cryptocurrency is likely to result in downward price
pressure on that product and potentially other cryptocurrencies.

8.5.5.
Opaque Spot MarketCryptocurrency balances are generally maintained as an address on
the blockchain and are accessed through Private Keys (defined
below), which may be held by a market participant or a custodian.
Although cryptocurrency transactions can be publicly available on a
blockchain or distributed ledger, the public address does not
identify the controller, owner or holder of the Private Key. Unlike
bank and Coinmama Accounts, cryptocurrency exchanges and custodians
that hold cryptocurrencies do not always identify the owner. The
opaque underlying or spot market poses asset verification challenges
for market participants, regulators and auditors and gives rise to
an increased risk of manipulation and fraud, including the potential
for Ponzi schemes, bucket shops and pump and dump schemes, which may
undermine market confidence in a cryptocurrency and negatively
impact its price.

8.5.6.
Cryptocurrency Exchanges, Intermediaries and CustodiansCryptocurrency exchanges, in general globally, as well as other
intermediaries, custodians and vendors used to facilitate
cryptocurrency transactions, are relatively new and largely
unregulated in both the United States and many foreign
jurisdictions. The opaque underlying spot market and lack of
regulatory oversight creates a risk that a cryptocurrency exchange
may not hold sufficient cryptocurrencies and funds to satisfy its
obligations and that such deficiency may not be easily identified or
discovered. In addition, many cryptocurrency exchanges have
experienced significant outages, downtime and transaction processing
delays, flash crashes, and may have a higher level of operational
risk than regulated futures or securities exchanges. Outages,
regardless of severity or length of downtime or delays, can
negatively impact cryptocurrency markets and prices.

8.5.7.
Regulatory LandscapeCryptocurrencies currently face an uncertain regulatory landscape in
the United States and many foreign jurisdictions. In the United
States, cryptocurrencies may be regulated by one or more state
regulatory bodies. In addition, many cryptocurrency derivatives are
regulated by the CFTC, and the SEC has cautioned that initial coin
offerings and certain cryptocurrencies are likely to fall within the
definition of a security and subject to U.S. securities laws. One or
more jurisdictions may, in the future, adopt laws, regulations or
directives that affect cryptocurrency networks and their users. Such
laws, regulations or directives may impact the price of
cryptocurrencies and their acceptance by users, merchants and
service providers.

8.5.8.
TechnologyThe relatively new and rapidly evolving technology underlying
cryptocurrencies introduces unique risks. For example, a unique
private key is required to access, use or transfer a cryptocurrency
on a blockchain or distributed ledger. The loss, theft or
destruction of a private key may result in an irreversible loss. The
ability to participate in forks could also have implications for
investors. For example, a market participant holding a
cryptocurrency position through a cryptocurrency exchange may be
adversely impacted if the exchange does not allow its customers to
participate in a fork that creates a new product.

8.5.9.
Transaction FeesMany cryptocurrencies allow market participants to offer miners
(i.e., parties that process transactions and record them on a
blockchain or distributed ledger) a fee. While not always mandatory,
a fee is generally necessary to ensure that a transaction is
promptly recorded on a blockchain or distributed ledger. The amounts
of these fees are subject to market forces and it is possible that
the fees could increase substantially. In addition, cryptocurrency
exchanges, wallet providers and other custodians, including Zero
Hash, may charge high fees relative to custodians in many other
financial markets. Zero Hash is under no obligation to pass along
network fees at cost.

part of the Indemnified Person(s) in notifying you shall relieve
you from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the
extent) you thereby are prejudiced. Further, the omission to

any action unless such settlement completely and finally releases
the Indemnified Person(s) from any and all liability and otherwise

written consent, the Indemnified Person(s), you may not confess
any claim or make any compromise in any case in which you may be
required to provide indemnification.

the Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any
such arbitration shall be conducted in Chicago, Illinois or at
such other location as may be agreed to by the parties and the
arbitrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party
acknowledges that a breach of this User Agreement may cause the
other party irreparable injury and damage and therefore may be
enjoined through injunctive or other equitable proceedings in
addition to any other rights and remedies which may be available
to such other party at law or in equity, and each party hereby
consents to the jurisdiction of any federal or state courts
located in Chicago, Illinois with respect to any such action. The

CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF SUCH PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION,

commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1
et. seq., governs the interpretation and enforcement of
this provision. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all
claims in accordance with all applicable law, including recognized
principles of equity and statutes of limitations, and will honor
all claims of privilege recognized by law. Under this arbitration
provision, arbitrators will not be bound by rulings in prior
arbitrations involving different customers but are bound by
rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same customer to the
extent required by applicable law. This arbitration provision will
survive the termination of this User Agreement.Unless the parties agree otherwise, each party must bring all
related or similar claims in a single arbitration proceeding. If a
party later initiates a subsequent arbitration asserting claims
that are related or similar to ones that were raised by such party
in a prior arbitration, the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) or the arbitrator will either: (i) consolidate the
subsequent arbitration with the earlier proceeding if it is
ongoing or (ii) dismiss the subsequent arbitration if it raises
claims that would be barred by applicable law if brought in court.

Notice of Dispute and Arbitration Procedures. A party who
intends to pursue a claim must first send to the other a letter
describing the claim and containing the information described
below (a “Notice of Dispute”). Any Notice of Dispute sent
to Zero Hash and/or Zero Hash Liquidity Services should be
addressed to:
Attn: General Counsel
Zero Hash LLC and Zero Hash Liquidity Services
Any Notice of Dispute sent to you by Zero Hash will be sent to the
email address and/or address in our records that is associated
with your Account at the time the Notice of Dispute is sent. The
Notice of Dispute must (a) describe the nature and basis of the
claim; (b) set forth the specific relief sought; (c) set forth the
name and address of the claimant; and (d) include the Account
numbers to which the claim relates. If the parties do not reach an
agreement to resolve the claim described in the Notice of Dispute
within forty-five (45) days after the Notice of Dispute is
received, the parties may commence an arbitration proceeding with
AAA. If the parties attempt to commence arbitration proceedings
before providing the requisite Notice of Dispute, the AAA shall
not commence administration of arbitration proceedings for at
least forty-five (45) days after the AAA receives the request to
initiate arbitration. No party will disclose to the arbitrator the
existence, amount, or terms of any settlement offers made by any
party until after the arbitrator issues a final award resolving
the claim.
A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the
AAA’s web site at
http://www.adr.org.
The arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Dispute
Resolution Procedures, as amended from time to time (the “AAA Rules”) as modified by this User Agreement, and will be administered
by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at
http://www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the
notice address provided above.
The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this User Agreement. All
issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues
relating to the arbitrability of claims or the scope, and
enforceability of this arbitration provision, including the
interpretation of the prohibition of class and representative
actions and non-individualized relief, are for the court to
decide. If the value of the relief sought (by any party) is
$10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be
conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the
arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person
hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If the value of the
relief sought (to any party) exceeds $10,000, the right to a
hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person
arbitration hearing will take place in Chicago, Illinois.
Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted,
the arbitrator, upon the request of either party made prior to the
closing of the hearing (or, if there is no oral hearing, prior to
or along with submission of final documents to the AAA), will
issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the
essential findings and conclusions on which the award, if any, is
based. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, any award will be
rendered by the arbitrator not later than fourteen (14) days from
the date of the closing of the hearing or, if there is no oral
hearing, from the date of the AAA’s transmittal of the final
statements and proofs to the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA
Rules.
