You acknowledge and agree that Bequant assumes no responsibility or liability in respect of an unsupported branch of a forked protocol.

10.3. In the event of a Fork, you acknowledge and agree that we may decide at our sole discretion to adjust the Digital Asset holdings in your Bequant Account with respect to any affected Digital Asset held by you. Such adjustment shall be calculated by us and will be made on the basis of good faith, fairness and, where appropriate, by taking such action as is consistent with market practice and/or taking into account the treatment we may receive from our counterparties or any relevant third party.

10.4. We will not usually notify you before making a change to your portfolio under Clause 10.3. Therefore, you should make yourself aware of the market conditions and the Forks that could occur. When a hard Fork occurs, there may be substantial price volatility around the event, and we may suspend trading if we do not have reliable prices from the underlying market.

10.5. You understand, acknowledge and agree that in the event that a third-party or software protocol attempts to or does distribute a Digital Asset, whether or not supported by Bequant (“Airdrop”) to certain wallet addresses, we will treat such airdropped Digital Asset as we would treat any other unsupported Digital Asset. You agree and understand that airdropped Digital Assets do not create a relationship between us and the transferor, sender and/or the related network that created the airdropped Digital Asset, and further, that we are not subject to any obligation as it may relate to the transferor, sender or related network. Bequant reserves the right to decide whether to support an Airdrop. We will communicate our potential course of action at the time, following the announcement of an Airdrop for a virtual asset.

In the event that you receive any funds or Digital Assets from other users in the course of your use of the Digital Broking Services, which you know or suspect to contravene applicable anti-money laundering laws, sanctions and other relevant related regulations, you warrant that you will immediately notify Bequant by e-mail at [email protected].

13.4. We shall monitor your transactions and in the case of a suspicious and/or unusual operation or transaction, we shall have the right to suspend it, including, but not limited to, the suspension or withdrawal of your Digital Assets, for a certain period of time. This includes any decision we take to suspend a transaction where we reasonably believe that its acceptance would, or is reasonably likely to, expose us or any affiliate to any liability (contingent or otherwise) or where we consider that the acceptance or transfer of the Digital Asset may involve or result in a violation of any applicable law. In that case, we shall not be liable to you for any default on any contractual obligations and/or for any damages or losses sustained by you.

13.5. We shall have a general duty to report any suspicious activity identified during the business relationship with you to the relevant authorities as well as other reporting duties deriving from Applicable Laws. We shall not be liable to you for the execution of such duties.

This restriction applies even if you do not normally reside in the prohibited country. You can find the list of prohibited countries from here. For further information, please contact us at [email protected].

13.8. We are not liable for any Loss which results from your inability to access the Bequant platform, whether that is because you are in a prohibited or restricted country, or your country becomes a prohibited or restricted country, or if caused by circumstances outside of our control.

13.9. We shall be entitled to terminate a business relationship with you and/or a legal entity you represent at any time if we determine that continuing such a business relationship with you and/or a legal entity you represent exposes us to a money laundering, sanctions and/or terrorist financing risk that we no longer deem acceptable. We are not liable for any Loss which results from your inability to access the Bequant platform, whether that is because you are in a prohibited or restricted country, or your country becomes a prohibited or restricted country, or if caused by circumstances outside of our control.

15.8. Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit our liability based on our fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, deliberate misconduct, gross negligence or for death or personal injury arising from our gross negligence.

Schedule 1

Custody Services

This Schedule 1 (Custody Services) is supplemental to the Terms and the provisions set out in the Terms shall continue to apply between you and Bequant. You will be deemed to accept the terms of Schedule 1 on each occasion you use the Custody Services. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of Schedule 1 and the Terms, the terms of Schedule 1 shall prevail with respect to the services contemplated hereunder, unless expressly stated otherwise.

Bequant may make changes to the terms of Schedule 1 (or any terms or information incorporated by reference) at any time by updating the terms of Schedule 1 on our website and your continued use of the Custody services and acceptance of these terms in Schedule 1 constitutes your express consent to any such changes.

Any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Schedule 1 shall have the meaning given to them in the Terms between the Parties.

1. You instruct us to arrange for any Digital Assets which you have transferred to or bought on the Bequant platform to be held on your behalf until we receive further instruction from you to sell that Digital Asset. This is called "custody", and means that the person holding those Digital Assets on your behalf will be your "custodian".

2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1 of this Schedule 1, unless we expressly agree to hold your Digital Assets in the Bequant custody system, we shall not act as custodian of your Digital Assets held in connection with the Digital Broking Services.

3. On your instructions, we may pass your Digital Assets received from you to a third party (e.g. an Exchange, OTC counterparty, a clearing and settlement agent or a custodian), including a third party outside the EEA (this is called a "Third Party Custodian"), to hold or control in order to effect a transaction through or with that person or to satisfy your obligation to provide collateral in respect of a transaction. We have no responsibility for any Loss, acts or omissions caused by the Third Party Custodian, or insolvency or dissolution of the Third Party Custodian unless any Losses which you incur have been caused by our fraud, wilful default or gross negligence.

4. The Third Party Custodian may not hold your Digital Assets on trust or in any a fiduciary capacity and may not segregate the Digital Assets in a distinct account belonging to you but place the Digital Assets in a common pool of identical Digital Assets (and, accordingly, such Digital Assets may be accessible to the creditors of the Third Party Custodian and/or other third parties). In the event of the insolvency or any other analogous proceedings in relation to that Third Party Custodian, we may only have an unsecured claim against the Third Party Custodian on behalf of you and our other clients, and you may be exposed to the risk that the Digital Assets received by us from the Third Party Custodian is insufficient to satisfy your claims and the claims of all other clients in respect of the relevant account. Where we have expressly agreed to hold your Digital Assets in the Bequant’s custody system, we will keep those Digital Assets in an account separate from an account belonging to us. As a custodian, we will hold the assets on your behalf in accordance with the Applicable Law.

5. We may establish and maintain multiple accounts for your Digital Assets either within the Bequant’s custody system where we act as your custodian or within the Third Party Custodian’s system and shall from time to time deliver, or receive, all assets accepted by us to such accounts. The Custody Services herein do not apply to regulated financial instruments (including but not limited to shares, bonds and derivatives) under any circumstances, and such a determination shall be at our full discretion.

7. Detailed records of all your Digital Assets held by Bequant or Third Party Custodian will be kept by us at all times to show that your Digital Assets are held on your behalf, for your benefit and do not belong to us.

8. You shall pay us a fee, to be agreed upon by the parties, as remuneration for Custody Services performed by us pursuant to this Schedule 1. Where we incur taxes, incidental expenses, and other expenses in performing our obligations under this Schedule 1, we shall be entitled to deduct fees due to us from the Digital Assets.

9. Instructions from you to us as provided in this Schedule 1 shall be given by an Authorised Person whose proof of authority and personal details shall have been furnished to us in advance.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall at all times have a lien for any unpaid fees or debts to which Bequant is entitled under the terms of this Schedule 1 and the Terms and Bequant shall have a right to set off such unpaid fees, debts or other liabilities that you may owe to Bequant or Bequant Group Companies against any Digital Assets belonging to you that Bequant and Bequant Group Companies may hold in its possession from time to time.

12. We shall not assume any responsibility with respect to the assets held by us pursuant to this Schedule 1 for any Loss caused by events beyond our control and other events (including but not limited to any Losses incurred in the account with a Third Party Asset Holder), except Loss caused by our fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct. We shall exercise reasonable care in the performance of our duties as are set forth or contemplated herein or contained in instructions given to us which are not contrary to this Schedule 1 or the Terms.

13. The terms contained in this Schedule 1 shall become effective on the date which you first utilise the Custody Services and shall remain in full force until terminated in accordance with this Schedule 1.

14. You agree to hold harmless and fully indemnify Bequant and Bequant Group Companies, including our employees, director and officers, from any liability incurred as a result of the performance of our duties under this Schedule 1.

You undertake that where you are acting as a trustee, attorney or in any other fiduciary capacity, that (i) the appointment of the custodian and the provision of Custody Services are expressly permitted; (ii) you will act within your due power, authority and capacity at all times; and (iii) you have the full power, authority and capacity to deal with the Digital Assets held by us as if you were the beneficial owner and we are entitled to treat such instructions as made on such a basis.

16. Nothing in this Schedule 1 shall give rise to any fiduciary or equitable duty which would oblige us to accept liabilities and obligations that are not expressly set out in this Schedule 1.

17. Upon the termination of the Custody Services, all the Digital Assets held by us or a Third Party Asset Holder shall be delivered to a successor custodian or to you, per your instructions; provided, however, that we will not be required to make any such delivery until full payment shall have been made to us or Bequant Group Companies in relation to all fees, remuneration, Costs and expenses which you may owe to us or Bequant Group Companies from time to time. In the event that we terminate this Schedule 1, we shall continue to hold under this Schedule 1 all Digital Assets then held by us until you have sufficient time and opportunity to make other arrangements for the custody and servicing of such assets.

18. If you have not instructed us about the Digital Assets in your Bequant Account (e.g. to sell the Digital Assets) and we are unable to trace you despite having taken reasonable steps to do so, you authorise us to liquidate those Digital Assets and hold the proceeds (if any) in your Bequant Account, in order to pay our fees and Costs. We will try to contact you before we do this.

19. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitation of warrant and liability and indemnification and releases set out in the Terms shall cover the Custody Services, and this Schedule 1 and the Terms shall be interpreted accordingly.

Agreed Communication Channel means such methods of communication as approved by Bequant and agreed between you and Bequant from time to time, which may include (without limitation) telephone, email, Telegram, online chat functionality and, if available, the Platform.

The fact that you may have entered into, or refrained from entering into, a corresponding financial commitment, contract or trade in reliance on an OTC Transaction entered into with Bequant (or that you have suffered or may suffer any loss whether direct, indirect, consequential or otherwise) is deemed irrelevant as a factor and shall not be taken into account in determining whether a situation amounts to a Manifest Error.

OTC Order means an instruction given by you to Bequant via an Agreed Communication Channel to buy or sell a specified quantity of a Digital Asset at the Price on an over-the-counter basis and such instruction shall constitute an offer made by you to enter into an OTC Transaction on the basis of a Price provided by Bequant.

2.2. You acknowledge and agree that Bequant shall determine Prices in its sole discretion and may discontinue providing Prices in some or all Products or some or all Digital Assets and/or cease the use of an Agreed Communication Channel at any time for any reason. Bequant provides no representations as to the accuracy or fitness for purpose of any Agreed Communication Channel, nor does Bequant accept any responsibility for any Loss incurred by you arising out of or in connection with your use of an Agreed Communication Channel.

2.3. Prices are proprietary in nature and so the Prices made available by Bequant may differ to other prices provided in the relevant Digital Assets by other providers. Prices are subject to constant change and Bequant shall determine how long Prices remain valid in its sole discretion.

3. Price Request, Bequant Quote and OTC Order

3.1.

3.2. If you wish to enter into an OTC Transaction with Bequant based on the Bequant Quote, you must submit an OTC Order via an Agreed Communication Channel within ten (10) seconds of the time the Bequant Quote was sent or during the time of the telephone communication where the Bequant Quote was communicated to you (the “Offer Window”).

Bequant may refuse to enter into any OTC Transaction, accept or otherwise act on any OTC Order without giving any reason or any notice to you. An OTC Order which is not received by Bequant for any reason, including the failure or delay of any Agreed Communication Channel, shall be deemed rejected. Once submitted to Bequant, an OTC Order cannot be withdrawn, cancelled or amended by you once executed by Bequant unless otherwise permitted by Bequant in its sole discretion. Acceptance by Bequant of any OTC Order which does not comply with all of the requirements set out in this paragraph 3 of Schedule 2 shall not obligate Bequant to accept any subsequent non-confirming OTC Orders.

4. OTC Transactions

4.1. Execution of an OTC Order by Bequant, which shall occur upon express confirmation by Bequant to you through an Agreed Communication Channel that the related OTC Order is “done” or has otherwise been “executed”, will constitute a binding agreement to an OTC Transaction between Bequant and you on the terms of the relevant OTC Order.

4.2. Bequant shall notify you of the OTC Transaction via an Agreed Communication Channel but any failure or delay in providing such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such OTC Transaction. If you do not receive a message through an Agreed Communication Channel indicating that an OTC Order has been accepted and that an OTC Transaction has been entered into within promptly after submitting the OTC Order to Bequant, you shall promptly contact Bequant through an Agreed Communication Channel to confirm the status of the relevant OTC Transaction.

4.3. For each OTC Transaction, Bequant shall send to you a written notification via the Agreed Communication Channel confirming the terms of the OTC Transaction, including (1) the Digital Assets to be purchased or sold; (2) the amount of such Digital Assets to be purchased or sold; (3) the Purchase Price or the Sale Price (as the case may be); and (4) the Settlement Date (the “Trade Confirmation”). You shall be responsible for comparing any Trade Confirmation or other record of any OTC Transaction entered into between you and Bequant to your own records of OTC Transactions entered into with Bequant and shall notify Bequant of any discrepancies.

4.4. You acknowledge and agree that, if:

(a) Bequant determines that one or more prices at which one or more OTC Transactions are executed differs materially from the prevailing market price for the relevant OTC Transaction(s) at such time, or are otherwise erroneous in nature (including without limitation inadvertently presenting a bid price as an offer price or vice versa), due to the transmission of one or more incorrect prices by Bequant and/or in the event of extreme market volatility; or

(b) Bequant has reason to believe that you have executed an OTC Transaction with improper intent or determines that there may be suspected market manipulation, including (without limitation), capitalising on opportunities where the executable price of an OTC Transaction does not reflect prevailing market rates, or taking unfair advantage of the way in which Bequant offers prices,

then, in each case, Bequant is authorised by you (without any payment or penalty due by either Bequant or you and provided that such action is in compliance with Applicable Law) to either:

(i) cancel/void such OTC Transaction(s) and treat such OTC Transaction(s) as if they had never been entered into; or

(ii) amend the price(s) of such OTC Transaction(s) (upon notice from Bequant to you of the amended price(s)) to reflect the prevailing market price(s) as at the relevant time, as determined by Bequant by reference to an available source for fair market pricing.

4.5. If Bequant cancels an OTC Transaction pursuant to the rights referred to in paragraph 4.4 above, Bequant will reverse any transfers of Digital Assets that have been made to and/or from your Account in connection with such OTC Transaction as if that OTC Transaction had never taken place. If Bequant amends an OTC Transaction pursuant to the rights referred to in paragraph 4.4 above Bequant will confirm the details of the amended terms of the OTC Transaction to you through an Agreed Communication channel and will affect such transfers of Digital Assets to and/or from your Account as are required to reflect the terms of the amended OTC Transaction. You acknowledge and agree that you shall be solely responsible for your own transactions with any third parties that may have been entered into in connection with or reliance on any OTC Transaction(s) that may be subject to any cancellation or amendment pursuant to Bequant’s rights in paragraph 4.4 above.

4.6. You acknowledge and agree that any OTC Orders may be subject to risk and/or credit limits imposed by Bequant from time to time which may be general or specific to you, may apply to all or certain Digital Assets only and at all times are imposed, amended, maintained or removed at the sole discretion of Bequant (“Trading Limits”). Bequant may reject, or cancel or amend any OTC Order, in its sole discretion, where it breaches or will breach a Trading Limit. Bequant shall have no liability to you for any Loss incurred in connection with any OTC Orders which are rejected, or cancelled or amended by Bequant in circumstances where such OTC Orders breach a Trading Limit. You undertake to cooperate with Bequant and supply all information and data that Bequant considers reasonably necessary to set appropriate Trading Limits with respect to the OTC Trading.

4.7. You further acknowledge and agree that, in the absence of Manifest Error, Bequant’s records as to OTC Transactions entered into with you shall be final and conclusive. However, Bequant may at any time rectify any error on any entry, statement, Trade Confirmation or advice which has been proved to its satisfaction, and may demand immediate repayment from you of any Digital Assets erroneously paid over to you as a result of such error. Any and all objections by you shall not be valid unless accompanied by supporting evidence for such objections. You undertake and agree to maintain appropriate records of all OTC Orders and OTC Transactions as required pursuant to Applicable Law.

4.8. Subject to Bequant’s rights as otherwise set out in this paragraph 4, a Trade Confirmation which does not accurately reflect the relevant OTC Transaction entered into via an Agreed Communication Channel: (a) does not affect the validity of the OTC Transaction which the Trade Confirmation evidences; and (b) where there is Manifest Error, does not entitle you to enforce whatever is inaccurately recorded in the Trade Confirmation.

4.9. Bequant reserves the right to void or reverse from the outset any OTC Transaction involving or deriving from a Manifest Error or to amend the details of such OTC Transaction to reflect that which Bequant considers in its sole and absolute discretion acting in good faith to be the correct or fair details of such an OTC Transaction absent Manifest Error.

4.10. Without prejudice to the generality of the other terms in this Agreement, and in the absence of fraud or bad faith, Bequant shall in no circumstances be liable to you for any Loss or demand of whatsoever nature you may suffer or incur in connection with any Manifest Error howsoever arising, whether direct or indirect, special or consequential, even if Bequant had been advised of the possibility of the same arising or that the same were reasonably foreseeable.

4.11. For each OTC Transaction, either party, as the case may be, will sell, transfer and deliver, and the other party will purchase, all right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Digital Assets or the Sold Digital Assets, respectively, in accordance with the settlement terms set forth in paragraph 5 of this Schedule 2.

4.12. You agree that Bequant may rely on, and you shall be bound by, any notice, OTC Order or other communication provided by any person that Bequant reasonably believes is authorised by you to provide such notice, OTC Order or other communication, whether or not such person has actual authority to do so on your behalf.

5. Settlement

5.1. On the Settlement Date:

5.3. You agree and acknowledge that with respect to any and all wire transfers from you or on your behalf to Bequant, the name on the originating account must match exactly your name as provided by you to Bequant and if it does not, Bequant reserves the right to reject the wire transfer.

5.4. If on any Settlement Date, the parties have payment and delivery obligations with respect to multiple completed OTC Transactions in the same cryptocurrency, Bequant may net such completed OTC Transactions against each other as follows: (i) any Sold Digital Assets that you are required to deliver will be netted against any Purchased Digital Assets that Bequant is required to deliver; (ii) any Purchase Price that you are required to pay will be netted against any Sale Price that Bequant is required to pay; and (iii) a net number of units of the relevant cryptocurrency will be delivered by one party against a net purchase price to be paid by the other party.

(b) set off and net any obligations of Bequant to you against any obligations of you to Bequant;

(c) terminate any or all of Bequant’s obligations for future performance to you; and

3. Execution of Transaction

3.1. Any Transaction on the Finery Markets Platform is entered into within Trading Limits that are pre-defined by Bequant.

3.2. There are three types of Trading Limits: global limits, counterparty (i.e., bilateral) limits, and margin requirements:

3.2.1 global limits are your cumulative limits determined by Bequant;

3.2.2 counterparty limits are set against a particular counterparty by Bequant;

3.2.3 margin requirements are optionally set up by Bequant, where applicable, and define the initial and maintenance margin required for trading.

3.3. You may enter into a new Transaction only if both global gross free and counterparty gross free limits are positive and margin requirements are met; otherwise an OTC Order submitted by you will be rejected:

3.3.1 global gross free limit = global gross limit - global gross exposure;

3.3.2 counterparty gross free limit = counterparty gross limit - counterparty gross exposure;

3.3.3 gross exposure is equal to the maximum of an absolute value of all short positions and absolute value of all long positions.

3.3.4 counterparty gross exposure is equal to the maximum of an absolute value of all short positions and absolute value of all long positions with the counterparty.

3.3.5 when the Finery Markets Platform calculates exposure, open orders and unsettled Transactions are taken into account; the worst case scenario approach is applied. For the exact calculation of limits and detailed methodology, please, contact Bequant’s representative.

3.4. When checking the margin requirements (if applicable), the Finery Markets Platform compare your current equity which is equal to the sum of your NOP of per counterparty (“Equity”), with the thresholds below:

3.4.1 Maintenance. If your Equity decreases lower than maintenance margin requirement, which is specified in % of the gross limit, Bequant has the right to liquidate your NOPs.

3.4.2 Restricted trading. If the Equity decreases lower than the restricted trading margin requirement, which is specified in % of the gross limit, you will not be able to execute more trades unless the value of your Equity increases above this threshold.

3.4.3 Initial margin. Initial margin requirement is the minimal amount of the collateral needed for normal trading. It is specified in % of the gross limit. Settlement transactions that lead to the Equity lower than the initial margin requirement will be rejected by Bequant.

3.4.4 When the Finery Markets Platform calculates utilisation, open orders and unsettled transactions are taken into account; the worst case scenario approach is applied. For the exact calculation of limits and detailed methodology, please, contact Bequant’s representative.

3.5. The values of the limits on the Finery Markets Platform are defined by Bequant.

3.6. You can enter into Transactions only with those counterparties as identified by Bequant.

3.7. There is a self-trading prevention mechanism on the Finery Markets Platform which means that you cannot enter into a Transaction with yourself.
