Risks

Before using the MalTajmae Site, you should ensure that you understand the risks involved in buying, selling or trading cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency markets can be volatile and prices can fluctuate significantly, which could result in sudden and significant increases or decreases in the value of your assets. This market volatility and other risks involved in buying, selling or trading cryptocurrencies are explained on the Risk Warning page of the MalTajmae website.

Electronic communications

You accept and agree that:

any communications, agreements, notices and/or any other documents (together “Communications”) relating to your MalTajmae Account or your use of MalTajmae’s services will be provided to you electronically by posting them on the MalTajmae Site, emailing them to the email address you have provided to us, or through any other form of electronic communication.

You can amend your contact information by signing-in to your MalTajmae Account and accessing the Settings page.
You may at any time withdraw your consent to receiving Communications electronically by contacting support@maltajmaegroupplc.com. You acknowledge that failure to give, or withdrawing, consent to receiving Communications electronically puts the security of your MalTajmae Account at risk (see Account Security) and that MalTajmae reserves the right to close your MalTajmae Account in the event you fail to give, or withdraw, your consent to the receipt of Communications electronically.

Identity verification

MalTajmae implements and maintains the highest standards of Know Your Customer (“KYC”) processes and controls as part of our commitment to combating fraud and assisting in the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing.
To ensure we meet these standards, our customers are required to provide certain personal details and documents when opening a MalTajmae Account (“Identity Verification”). The nature and extent of the Identity Verification required will depend upon which of our supported countries you are resident in, and the deposit and withdrawal limits that you wish to apply to your MalTajmae Account. In certain circumstances, MalTajmae may also perform enhanced due diligence (“EDD”) procedures in relation to your MalTajmae Account. You accept and agree that you will remain subject to such procedures at all times.
MalTajmae reserves the right to, at any time:

restrict or suspend your MalTajmae Account when we, in our sole discretion, consider it necessary to carry out further Identity Verification and/or EDD; or
terminate your MalTajmae Account if you provide, or we suspect you have provided, false information or refuse to provide information we require for Identity Verification and/or EDD.
You accept and agree that there may be delays in accessing your MalTajmae Account, or in carrying out transactions through your MalTajmae Account, while we undertake any Identity Verification and/or EDD procedures.

Retention of information.

MalTajmae is required to retain certain information and documentation obtained as part of the Identity Verification and EDD procedures. These requirements apply even when you have terminated your relationship with MalTajmae. We reserve the right to keep such information and documentation for the required period and you accept and agree that information and documentation you provide to MalTajmae may be retained by us, including following the closure of your MalTajmae Account.

The MalTajmae wallet

The MalTajmae Wallet allows you to send, receive and store cryptocurrency (together, “MalTajmae Wallet Transactions”).

Supported Cryptocurrencies

The MalTajmae Wallet is only available in relation to the cryptocurrencies that MalTajmae, in its sole discretion, decides to support (“Supported Cryptocurrency” or “Supported Cryptocurrencies”). Information about the Supported Cryptocurrencies can be found on the Supported Cryptocurrency page on the MalTajmae website. The Supported Cryptocurrencies may change from time to time. Under no circumstances should you attempt to carry out a MalTajmae Wallet Transaction in relation to a cryptocurrency other than a Supported Cryptocurrency. In particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you accept and agree that you will have no access, entitlement or claim:

to any cryptocurrency sent to a receive address associated with your MalTajmae Wallet where that cryptocurrency is not a Supported Cryptocurrency; or
to any cryptocurrency sent to a receive address associated with your MalTajmae Wallet, where that receive address is associated with another cryptocurrency. For example, you will have no access, entitlement or claim to any Bitcoin Cash (BCH) sent to a Bitcoin (BTC) receive address.

Supplemental Protocols Excluded

Unless specifically announced on the MalTajmae Site or other official public statement of MalTajmae, Supported Cryptocurrencies exclude all other protocols and/or functionality which supplement or interact with the Supported Cryptocurrency. This exclusion includes (without limitation): metacoins, colored coins, side chains, or other derivative, enhanced, or forked protocols, tokens, or coins or other functionality, such as staking, protocol governance, and/or any smart contract functionality, which may supplement or interact with a Supported Cryptocurrency. You acknowledge that you should not use your MalTajmae Account to attempt to receive, request, send, store, or engage in any other type of transaction or functionality involving any such protocol as MalTajmae is not configured to detect, secure, or process these transactions or functionality. Any attempted transactions in such items will result in loss of the relevant item. You acknowledge and agree that supplemental protocols are excluded from Supported Cryptocurrency and that MalTajmae shall bear no liability for any losses related to supplemental protocols.

Local Currency in your MalTajmae Wallet

Local Currency deposited into your MalTajmae Wallet (see Deposits) is solely for (1) the purchase of Supported Cryptocurrencies and/or (2) Withdrawal to an approved bank account (see Withdrawals). In certain countries we may also allow you to purchase specific goods and/or services from selected third parties using your Local Currency balance. You accept and agree that any such purchase will be subject to these Terms.
Proceeds from the sale of Supported Cryptocurrencies will be credited to your Local Currency MalTajmae Wallet, less any applicable fees (as explained in Fees, and on the Fees page of the MalTajmae website). MalTajmae does not pay interest on Local Currency or Supported Cryptocurrency balances held in your MalTajmae Wallet.

Transaction instructions

MalTajmae will process MalTajmae Wallet Transactions according to your instructions. You accept and agree that MalTajmae does not:

guarantee the identity of any user, receiver, or other party to a MalTajmae Wallet Transaction. You are solely responsible for ensuring all transaction details are correct, and you should carefully verify all transaction information prior to submitting transaction instructions to MalTajmae;
have any control over, or any liability in relation to, the delivery, quality or any other aspect of any goods or services that you may buy from or sell to any third party. MalTajmae shall not be responsible for, and will take no action in relation to, ensuring that any buyer or seller you transact with using your MalTajmae Wallet completes the relevant transaction or has the requisite authority to do so.

Receiving cryptocurrency

You may receive Supported Cryptocurrency into your MalTajmae Wallet by providing the sender with a receive address generated in your MalTajmae Wallet. Your MalTajmae Wallet will only be credited with Supported Cryptocurrency sent to a receive address generated through your MalTajmae Wallet and associated with that Supported Cryptocurrency. For example, your MalTajmae Wallet will be credited with ETH when it is sent to an ETH receive address generated through your MalTajmae Wallet.

Funds received in error

In the event you know, suspect, or should reasonably know or suspect, that any Local Currency or cryptocurrency has been credited to your MalTajmae Wallet (or to any bank account) in error, you must immediately notify MalTajmae of the error by submitting a ticket through the Help Centre. You accept and agree that you have no claim or entitlement to any Local Currency or cryptocurrency received in error, and must immediately return such funds in accordance with the instructions received from MalTajmae.

Deposits

Where your identity has been verified (in accordance with the Identity Verification requirements), you may deposit Local Currency into your MalTajmae Wallet by depositing funds into a MalTajmae bank account (a “Deposit”). The MalTajmae bank account into which you make a Deposit will be a segregated account used exclusively for the purpose of holding and processing customer funds. Subject to these Terms, you retain a right to any funds you deposit into the MalTajmae bank account until such time as your funds are used or withdrawn.
Details of the MalTajmae bank account into which you must make the Deposit will be provided to you by MalTajmae, and any such bank account will be held and operated by a MalTajmae operating entity in your country or region (for more information on these entities, see the Company Information page on the MalTajmae website). You accept and agree that any information you provide to MalTajmae may be shared with such local entity, in order to facilitate your Deposits into, and your withdrawals (see section 9 below) from, your MalTajmae Account.
Note for UK/EU customers: MalTajmae Money Ltd is the local entity which holds third party banking and payment services provider relationships in the UK and EU in order to facilitate your Deposits into, and withdrawals from, your MalTajmae Account. Please note that MalTajmae Money Ltd does not provide you with any services in connection with these Terms, it owes you no duties and you have no contractual relationship with it. MalTajmae Money Ltd is not authorised or regulated by any regulatory authority.
The payment methods by which you may Deposit Local Currency will depend upon the country you are in, and are set out on the Fees page of the MalTajmae website (for the purposes of these Terms, the “Supported Deposit Methods”). Where you have made a Deposit using a Supported Deposit Method, and have adhered to the Deposit Requirements (explained below), your Deposit will be allocated to your MalTajmae Wallet.
Due to legal and operational constraints, you must strictly adhere to the following Deposit requirements (the “Deposit Requirements”):

you may only make a Deposit from a Supported Deposit Method held in your own name. You must not allow any third party to make a Deposit into your MalTajmae Wallet;
you may only Deposit Local Currency using a Supported Deposit Method compatible with the deposit methods available in your country or region;
except in the case of a SEPA transfer, you may only make Deposits denominated in the Local Currency associated with your MalTajmae Wallet. For example, if you have a ZAR wallet, you must only make Deposits in South African Rand;
where you make a Deposit using a credit or debit card, you authorise MalTajmae to facilitate the debiting of the funds from your bank account in order to complete the Deposit;
you must not use cash or cheques to make a Deposit. MalTajmae reserves the right to refuse any Deposit made by cash or cheque. Should MalTajmae decide, in its sole discretion, to allow a Deposit by cash or cheque on an exceptional basis, the allocation of such Deposit will be delayed to allow fraud and compliance checks to take place, and a Cash Deposit Penalty (see the Fees page of the MalTajmae website) may be deducted from it. Any MalTajmae Account that receives more than one cash or cheque deposit may, at MalTajmae’s sole discretion, be suspended indefinitely.
You agree to abide by the Deposit Requirements and agree and accept that failure to do so may cause delay in or failure of any Deposit reflecting in your MalTajmae Wallet, and/or restriction, suspension or termination of your MalTajmae Account.

Allocation of deposits

When you request to make a Deposit through your MalTajmae Wallet, you will be provided with a Reference Number or Unique Deposit Amount. To permit timely and successful allocation of a Deposit to your MalTajmae Wallet, you must use the Reference Number or Unique Deposit Amount when you make a deposit using a Supported Deposit Method. MalTajmae will not be responsible for any delay in or non-allocation of Deposits to your MalTajmae Wallet where you fail to specify the required Reference Number or Unique Deposit Amount.

Deposits may take time to reflect in your MalTajmae Wallet due to bank processing times, operational processes, and/or failure by you to adhere to the Deposit Requirements. Under no circumstances will MalTajmae have any liability to you in relation to any delay in or failure of a Deposit reflecting in your MalTajmae Wallet.
MalTajmae will make all reasonable efforts to allocate Deposits that do not meet the Deposit Requirements. However, any Deposits less than the Minimum Unallocated Deposit Amount that cannot be allocated within a one month period will be retained by MalTajmae and you accept and agree that you shall have no further claim or entitlement to such funds. The Minimum Unallocated Deposit Amount shall until otherwise determined by MalTajmae be USD10.00 or the equivalent in your Local Currency.

Withdrawals

Where you have added your bank account details to your MalTajmae Account, you may withdraw funds from your MalTajmae Wallet to your bank account (a “Withdrawal”). MalTajmae will process Withdrawals in accordance with your instructions. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any Withdrawal instructions provided to MalTajmae, including the relevant bank account number, are complete and correct and you accept and agree that under no circumstances will MalTajmae be under any obligation to reverse or amend any Withdrawal.
MalTajmae will make all reasonable efforts to process Withdrawals each business day, in accordance with the Deposit and Withdrawal Schedule on the MalTajmae website, but you accept and agree that MalTajmae provides no guarantee in relation to the Withdrawal processing period.
Withdrawals to the bank account of any third party are expressly prohibited. You agree not to make, or attempt to make, any Withdrawal of funds from your MalTajmae Wallet to the bank account of a third party and accept that any such Withdrawal may be refused and/or result in the restriction, suspension or termination of your MalTajmae Account.

Instant buy or sell

MalTajmae Wallet holders may use the Instant Buy or Sell service to buy or sell a chosen amount of Supported Cryptocurrency at the quoted exchange rate.
In using the Instant Buy or Sell service, you accept and agree that:

When you make an Instant Buy or Sell order, MalTajmae will match your order with open orders on the MalTajmae Exchange or other cryptocurrency exchanges available to us. MalTajmae will facilitate the trade, in accordance with your instructions;
MalTajmae is not acting as your broker, intermediary, agent, adviser or in any fiduciary capacity in relation to an Instant Buy or Sell transaction, and no information or communication provided to you by MalTajmae in relation to an Instant Buy or Sell transaction will constitute advice;
when you place an order to buy or sell Supported Cryptocurrency, we will provide you with a quoted exchange rate. MalTajmae is unable to, and will not, specify the percentage of the quoted exchange rate that reflects MalTajmae’s facilitation of the relevant trade, as it will vary with market conditions. The quoted exchange rate may differ from rates seen elsewhere on the MalTajmae site, or on external sources, and you acknowledge that the quoted exchange rate is the rate that will apply to your order;
By proceeding with your Instant Buy or Sell transaction, you confirm that you accept the quoted exchange rate, including its components;
a volume limit per transaction will apply to any Instant Buy or Sell order (see the Fees page of the MalTajmae website); and
MalTajmae does not guarantee the availability of, or that there will be no delays or interruptions in or to, the Instant Buy or Sell service.
Before confirming any Instant Buy or Sell transaction, you must ensure that the amount of Supported Cryptocurrency to be bought or sold is correct and that you agree to the quoted exchange rate. MalTajmae cannot reverse an executed order.
MalTajmae reserves the right to delay or refuse any Instant Buy or Sell transaction if, in our sole discretion, we perceive there to be a risk of fraud or illegal activity, or where we have reasonable grounds on which to suspect an error may have been made. MalTajmae shall have no liability to you in connection with any delay in or non-completion of an Instant Buy or Sell transaction.

The MalTajmae exchange

The MalTajmae Exchange is an order book exchange platform for cryptocurrencies that is intended for use by customers with experience in and/or knowledge of similar platforms. Any person using the MalTajmae Exchange does so entirely at their own risk.
The MalTajmae Exchange is not offered to customers in all jurisdictions. This section of the Terms applies to you if you access and/or use the MalTajmae Exchange. In accessing and/or using the MalTajmae Exchange for any purpose, you agree and accept that:

all trades executed on the MalTajmae Exchange are executed automatically, based on the parameters of your order instructions, and cannot be reversed. In the case of technical issues affecting MalTajmae’s internal systems, MalTajmae may, where possible and in its sole discretion, take steps to reverse or otherwise amend a trade;
all trading on the MalTajmae Exchange is subject to MalTajmae’s fee structure, as set out on the Fees page of the MalTajmae website. By using the MalTajmae Exchange, you accept and agree to all applicable fees;
MalTajmae makes no guarantee that the MalTajmae Exchange will be available without interruption; that there will be no delays, failures, errors, omissions or loss of transmitted information; or that any order will be executed, accepted, recorded, or remain open.
MalTajmae may, at any time and in our sole discretion, refuse any trade, impose limits on the trade amount permitted, or impose any other conditions or restrictions upon your use of the MalTajmae Exchange that we deem necessary. We may, for example, limit the number of open orders that you may establish or restrict trades from certain locations. MalTajmae reserves the right to take such action without prior notice.

Fees

The fees applicable to transactions undertaken on the MalTajmae Site can be viewed on the Fees page of the MalTajmae website. MalTajmae reserves the right to change our fees at any time and will update the Fees page accordingly. In certain circumstances, and at our sole discretion, MalTajmae may notify selected customers of a specific fee change, where we consider a change to be of particular relevance to such customers.
Send and Receive fees. You may be charged a fee to send Supported Cryptocurrency from your MalTajmae Wallet and/or to receive Supported Cryptocurrency into your MalTajmae Wallet. Fees will apply where Supported Cryptocurrency is sent to or received from a Supported Cryptocurrency address (e.g. a Bitcoin address); no fees will apply where Supported Cryptocurrency is sent to or received from a mobile telephone number or email address. Please see the Fees page of the MalTajmae website for further information on send and receive fees.
Deposit and Withdrawal fees. All Withdrawals from your MalTajmae Wallet will incur a fee. Such fees differ by country and are set out on the Fees page of the MalTajmae website. Some Deposits made using a Supported Deposit Method may incur a fee, as set out on the Fees page. Such fees will be displayed in your transaction history upon completion of the transaction.
Instant Buy and Sell fees. The quoted exchange rate in relation to any buy or sell order placed using the Instant Buy and Sell service will include an amount to reflect MalTajmae’s facilitation of the relevant trade, the percentage of which will vary with market conditions (see Instant Buy or Sell).
Trade fees. MalTajmae applies a Maker / Taker fee structure for customers using the MalTajmae Exchange, which is explained in the MalTajmae Help Centre. Please consult the Fees page of the MalTajmae website for further information on applicable Maker and Taker fees. MalTajmae will, at the time of any transaction on the MalTajmae Exchange, notify you of any fees that will apply to the transaction. By proceeding with any transaction, you accept and agree to the applicable fees. Such fees will also be displayed in your transaction history upon completion of the transaction.

Account security

MalTajmae takes security very seriously and the measures we have in place to protect your MalTajmae Account are explained on the Security page of the MalTajmae website. However, you are solely responsible for:

maintaining adequate security and control over your MalTajmae Account sign-in details, including but not limited to any passwords, personal identification numbers (PINs), API keys, or any other codes associated with your MalTajmae Account;
enabling any additional security features available to you, including the activation of two factor authentication on your MalTajmae account (see the MalTajmae Help Centre);
keeping your contact details up to date so that you can receive any notices or alerts we may send to you in relation to security (see Electronic Communications);
maintaining security and control over the email mailbox, phone number and two-factor authentication applications or devices associated with your MalTajmae Account.
Failure to take the above measures, and any other security measures available to you, may result in unauthorised access to your MalTajmae Account and the loss or theft of any cryptocurrency and/or Local Currency balances held in your MalTajmae Wallet or any linked bank account(s) and/or saved credit or debit card(s). MalTajmae shall have no liability to you for or in connection with any unauthorised access to your MalTajmae Account, where such unauthorised access was due to no fault of MalTajmae, and/or any failure by you to act upon any notice or alert that we send to you.
The security of your MalTajmae Account may be compromised, or interruption caused to it, by phishing, spoofing or other attack, computer viruses, spyware, scareware, Trojan horses, worms or other malware that may affect your computer or other equipment. MalTajmae strongly recommends that you regularly use reputable virus screening and prevention software and remain alert to the fact that SMS, email services and search engines are vulnerable to spoofing and phishing attacks.
Care should be taken in reviewing messages purporting to originate from MalTajmae and, should you have any uncertainty regarding the authenticity of any communication, you should log in to your MalTajmae Account through the MalTajmae website (specifically, https://asset.maltajmaegroupplc.com, and not any other domain name or website purporting to be, or to be related to, MalTajmae) to review any transactions or required actions.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you accept and agree that you have full responsibility for all activity that occurs in or through your MalTajmae Account and accept all risks of any unauthorised or authorised access to your MalTajmae Account.

Private keys

MalTajmae securely stores all Supported Cryptocurrency private keys (“Private Keys”) associated with any MalTajmae Account. You accept and agree that MalTajmae shall retain full ownership and control of the Private Keys associated with your MalTajmae Account and that you shall have no control of, access to, or the ability to use, such Private Keys. For example, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, MalTajmae will not:

accept or adhere to any instruction to sign any data with a Private Key;
give access to any funds associated with your private keys, other than those of the Supported Cryptocurrency associated with your cryptocurrency wallet;
allow the creation of any receive addresses associated with a Private Key other than receive addresses created through your MalTajmae Wallet. MalTajmae will not credit to your MalTajmae Wallet any cryptocurrency associated with a Private Key other than where such funds have been received via a receive address generated through your MalTajmae Wallet.

Service availability

While we will do everything we can to provide continuous operations, MalTajmae does not provide any warranty in relation to the availability of the MalTajmae Site or your MalTajmae Account. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we do not guarantee continuous access to the MalTajmae Site or your MalTajmae Account and make no representation that the MalTajmae Site, MalTajmae API, your MalTajmae Account and/or any products or services offered therein will be available without interruption; or that there will be no delays, failures, errors, omissions or loss of transmitted information.

Transactions on cryptocurrency networks

When you use your MalTajmae Account to send or receive cryptocurrency, the transaction must be confirmed and recorded in the public ledger associated with the relevant cryptocurrency network (e.g. the Bitcoin network or the Ethereum network). That cryptocurrency network is solely responsible for verifying and confirming any such transactions. MalTajmae cannot confirm, cancel or reverse transactions on a cryptocurrency network, other than confirming to you that the network has completed the transaction. You accept and agree that:

Once submitted to a cryptocurrency network, a transaction will be unconfirmed for a period of time pending sufficient confirmation of the transaction by the network. A transaction is not complete while it is in a pending state. Funds associated with transactions that are in a pending state will be designated accordingly, and will not be included in your MalTajmae Wallet balance or be available to you to conduct transactions;
When you send cryptocurrency from your MalTajmae Account, you are authorising us to submit your transaction request to the relevant cryptocurrency network. Once a transaction request has been submitted to the relevant cryptocurrency network, the network will automatically complete or reject the request and neither you or MalTajmae will be able to cancel or otherwise modify your transaction.
Cryptocurrency networks are operated by decentralised networks of independent third parties. They are not owned, controlled or operated by MalTajmae so we cannot ensure that any transaction details you submit will be confirmed by the relevant cryptocurrency network. You agree that any transaction details you submit may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed, by the cryptocurrency network used to process the transaction.

Network protocols and operating rules

The underlying software protocols that govern the operation of the Supported Cryptocurrencies are open source. Accordingly, anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute them and MalTajmae has no ownership of or control over these protocols. By using the MalTajmae Site, you accept and agree that:

MalTajmae is not responsible for the operation of any cryptocurrency network’s underlying software protocols and makes no guarantee as to their availability, security, or functionality;
the underlying software protocols are subject to sudden changes in operating rules (known as “forks”), and that such forks may materially affect the value, function, and/or name of any cryptocurrency you store in your MalTajmae Account. Should a fork occur, MalTajmae may, with or without notice to you, temporarily suspend our operations and, in our sole discretion, decide whether or not to support either branch of the forked protocol entirely; and
in the event MalTajmae decides not to support a branch of a forked protocol, you will not be given access to the assets on that fork. Those assets will be securely held by MalTajmae and we will not buy or sell them.

Account inactivity

Local Currency deposited into your MalTajmae Wallet may only be used for the purchase of Supported Cryptocurrencies and/or Withdrawal to an approved bank account (see The MalTajmae Wallet). You must not use your MalTajmae Wallet for the purpose of storing Local Currency. Where any Local Currency in your MalTajmae Wallet is not used for a period exceeding three months, MalTajmae may charge and obtain from you an Inactivity Fee of USD2.00 per month (or the equivalent in your Local Currency), which shall be collected from the Local Currency held in your MalTajmae Wallet. Should we have reasonable grounds on which to suspect you are using your MalTajmae Wallet primarily for the purpose of storing Local Currency, MalTajmae reserves the right to restrict, suspend or terminate your MalTajmae Account.

Unclaimed property

In the event any funds are held in your MalTajmae Wallet(s) and MalTajmae has no record of any use of your MalTajmae Account for several years, and we are unable to contact you, the law in your jurisdiction may require us to report and deliver such funds to the relevant authorities as unclaimed property. To the extent permitted by applicable law, MalTajmae reserves the right to deduct a dormancy fee or other administrative charges from such unclaimed funds.

Closure of your account

You may close your MalTajmae Account by submitting a closure request via the Help Centre. MalTajmae will action such requests once (i) the sum of all Local Currency and cryptocurrency balances in your MalTajmae Wallet(s) is below the Minimum Closure Amount; and (ii) no transactions have taken place in your MalTajmae Account for a period of at least 30 days. Such requirements are designed to protect you from loss and MalTajmae will not action a closure request until they are satisfied.
You accept and acknowledge that, once your MalTajmae Account is closed:

you will have no further access to it;
MalTajmae will be under no obligation to notify you of, or provide to you, any cryptocurrency sent to any receive address associated with your MalTajmae Account; and
MalTajmae reserves the right (but has no obligation) to delete all of your information and account data stored on our servers, and also reserves the right to retain any information that is required for legal or operational reasons.
If at the date of closure of your account any Local Currency or cryptocurrency remains in your MalTajmae Wallet(s) (i.e. funds amounting to less than the Minimum Closure Amount), you accept and agree that MalTajmae shall retain such funds and that you shall have no further claim to them. The Minimum Closure Amount shall be USD10.00 or the equivalent in your Local Currency.
You accept and agree that MalTajmae shall not be liable to you or any third party in relation to the closure of your MalTajmae Account, the termination of access to your MalTajmae Account, or for the deletion of your information or MalTajmae Account data.

Restriction, suspension and termination

MalTajmae reserves the right to restrict, suspend or terminate your MalTajmae Account where:

we reasonably suspect your MalTajmae Account to be the subject of an operational or other error, in which case we may be required to suspend access to your account until such time as the error is rectified;
we reasonably suspect your MalTajmae Account has been or is being used in relation to any unlawful, fraudulent or Prohibited Activity, or in breach of these Terms;
we reasonably suspect you or your MalTajmae Account is or has been associated with, or poses a high risk of, money laundering, financing of terrorism, fraud, or any other financial crime;
we reasonably suspect you of taking any action that MalTajmae considers to be a circumvention of MalTajmae’s controls, including but not limited to opening multiple MalTajmae Accounts;
we reasonably suspect your involvement in any attempt to gain unauthorised access to any MalTajmae Account;
your MalTajmae Account is or appears to be the subject of any legal, regulatory or government process and/or we, in our sole discretion, consider there to be a heightened risk of legal or regulatory non-compliance associated with your MalTajmae Account;
we are compelled to do so by a prima facie valid subpoena, court order, or other binding order of a government or regulatory authority; or
we reasonably conclude that you, or any person or geography with whom you transact, are / is the subject of any governmental sanctions.
MalTajmae will make all reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of any decision to restrict, suspend or terminate your MalTajmae Account, unless we are prevented from doing so by any legal or regulatory process or requirement, or where doing so may compromise MalTajmae’s security and/or risk management procedures. You accept and agree that MalTajmae is under no obligation to disclose to you the fact of or reason for any decision to restrict, suspend or terminate your MalTajmae Account, and shall have no liability to you in connection with the restriction, suspension or termination of your MalTajmae Account.

Account termination

Where MalTajmae elects to terminate your MalTajmae Account in accordance with the above, we shall (except where legally obligated not to) return your available cryptocurrency and/or Local Currency balances to you pursuant to the procedure set out below:

Cryptocurrency. If you have an available balance of Supported Cryptocurrency in your MalTajmae Account above the Minimum Threshold, we will liquidate the cryptocurrency and deposit the value realised from the liquidation into your Local Currency wallet. The Minimum Threshold is USD10.00, or its equivalent in any applicable Supported Cryptocurrency calculated on the day on which the liquidation is performed. We will not send your Supported Cryptocurrency to an alternative cryptocurrency wallet address. Any risk of a negative exchange rate fluctuation shall rest with you and you shall have no claim against MalTajmae for any losses you may suffer as a result of the liquidation of your available balance of Supported Cryptocurrency.

Local Currency. We shall return to you an amount no greater than the cumulative value of all Local Currency Deposits to your MalTajmae Account, where applicable. Payment shall only be made to you following submission to us of valid bank account details in your name. We shall not transfer Local Currency to any bank account in the name of a third party.
Death of Account Holder. Should we receive legal documentation confirming your death or any other information leading us to believe that you have died, we reserve the right to restrict or suspend your MalTajmae Account for security purposes and, during this time, for no transactions to be completed until such time as: (i) we receive instructions from your designated executor / fiduciary; or (ii) we receive proof in a form satisfactory to us that you have not in fact died.
If we have reason to believe you may have died but we do not have proof of your death in a form satisfactory to us, you authorize us to make all inquiries as may be necessary, whether directly or through third parties, in order to ascertain whether or not you have died. Upon receipt by us of proof satisfactory to us that you have died, the executor / fiduciary that you have designated in a valid Will or similar testamentary document may instruct us in writing to: (i) sell the applicable cryptocurrency for Local Currency and withdraw that Local Currency to a bank account nominated in writing by the executor / fiduciary; or (ii) transfer the applicable cryptocurrency to another cryptocurrency wallet nominated in writing by the executor / fiduciary.
If you have not designated an executor / fiduciary, then we reserve the right to treat as your executor / fiduciary any person who is entitled to inherit your MalTajmae Account under applicable law. MalTajmae reserves the right to demand all documentation that we, in our sole and absolute discretion, may deem necessary or appropriate in order to satisfy ourselves as to the identity and authenticity of such person, including (but not limited to) an order designating an executor / fiduciary from a court having competent jurisdiction over your estate. In the event that we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that there is uncertainty regarding the validity of the executor / fiduciary designation, then we reserve the right to require an order resolving such an issue from a court of competent jurisdiction before taking any action relating to your MalTajmae Account.

Disclaimer of warranties

The MalTajmae Site, your MalTajmae Account and any related products or services are offered on a strictly “as-is” and “where-available” basis and MalTajmae expressly disclaims, and you waive, all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the MalTajmae Site, your MalTajmae Account, and any related products or services are offered without any warranty as to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied terms in consumer contracts, so some or all of the disclaimers in this section may not apply to you.

Limitation of liability

In no event shall MalTajmae, its operating entities or any other affiliates (including their respective directors, members, employees or agents) be liable to you for any direct, indirect, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages or any other damages of any kind, including but not limited to loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of data, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, arising out of or in any way connected with your use of, inability to use, or unavailability of the MalTajmae Site and/or your MalTajmae Account, including without limitation any damages caused by or resulting from any reliance upon any information received from MalTajmae, or that result from mistakes, omissions, interruptions, deletion of files or email, errors, defects, viruses, delays in operation or transmission or any failure of performance, whether or not resulting from a force majeure event, communications failure, theft, destruction or unauthorised access to MalTajmae’s records, programmes or services.
In no event will any liability of MalTajmae, its operating entities or any other affiliates (including their respective directors, members, employees or agents) arising in relation to your use of the MalTajmae Site or your MalTajmae Account, exceed (in aggregate) the fees earned by MalTajmae in connection with your use of your MalTajmae Account in the six month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim for liability.
The above limitations of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, some of the limitations in this section may not apply to you.

Indemnity

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify MalTajmae, its operating entities or any other affiliates (including their respective directors, members, employees and/or agents) against any action, liability, cost, claim, loss, damage, proceeding or expense suffered or incurred directly or indirectly arising from your use of or conduct in relation to the MalTajmae Site and/or your MalTajmae Account, or from your violation of these Terms.

USDC

You may elect to purchase or sell USD Coin (“USDC”) through MalTajmae. USDC is governed by Centre, a membership-based consortium founded by Circle Internet Financial Limited (“Circle”) that sets technical, policy and financial standards for USDC (“Centre”). By acquiring USDC, you acknowledge that you will become the owner of the balance held in your USDC wallet and that, accordingly, you agree to abide by any rules or technical standards set by Centre and/or the applicable USDC issuer, including (without limitation) the Circle USDC Agreement (located at support.usdc.circle.com). For the avoidance of doubt, MalTajmae is not the issuer of USDC, does not hold US Dollars on reserve for USDC holders, and has no obligation to repurchase or redeem your USDC for any fiat currency. Any redemption of USDC should be done against the issuer directly. MalTajmae reserves the right to change, suspend, or discontinue any service in relation to USDC at any time, without notice and without attracting any liability therefor.

Repeat-Buy

You may initiate recurring transactions to or from your MalTajmae Wallet(s) (“Repeat-Buy”). If you initiate a Repeat-Buy, you acknowledge and undertake that:

your Repeat-Buy transaction will be executed at the prevailing market price offered on the MalTajmae Exchange at the time that we execute the relevant Repeat-Buy order;
you authorize us to initiate recurring electronic payments to and from your MalTajmae Wallet in accordance with your selected Supported Cryptocurrency and any corresponding Supported Deposit Method, such as debiting of the funds from your bank account or other payment account. Your Repeat-Buy transaction will occur in identical, periodic instalments, based on your selection (e.g. daily, weekly, monthly), until either you or MalTajmae cancels the Repeat Buy;
where you have set up Repeat-Buy to execute against your MalTajmae Wallet, the Repeat-Buy transaction will be executed against the positive balance of available funds held in your applicable MalTajmae Wallet (i.e. this does not include funds which are related to any open orders on the MalTajmae exchange) (“Available Funds”) . You must ensure that you have sufficient Available Funds in your MalTajmae Wallet to pay for your Repeat-Buy on the scheduled payment date;
if any Repeat-Buy fails 3 (three) consecutive times, then we shall have the right to cancel or pause your Repeat-Buy;
we may charge you a Repeat-Buy fee which will be charged in addition to any other fees and costs listed on our fees page; and
you may cancel or remove your Repeat-Buy at any time by navigating to the applicable Supported Cryptocurrency wallet and clicking “Remove Repeat Buy”.

Disputes

You and we agree to notify the other party in writing of any claim or dispute that arises in relation to the MalTajmae Site, your MalTajmae Account or these Terms, within 30 days of such claim or dispute arising. You and we further agree to attempt informal resolution of any Dispute prior to bringing a claim in any court or other body.
Governing law and jurisdiction. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Singapore law, subject to any local mandatory rights you may have. You and we agree to submit all disputes, claims or controversies (including non-contractual Disputes, claims or controversies) arising out of or in connection with these Terms, or the breach, termination, enforcement or interpretation thereof (together, Disputes), to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore.
Class or representative action waiver. To the maximum extent permissible by law, you and MalTajmae each agree that each may bring any Dispute against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and you and it waive any right to commence or participate in any class action or other representative action or proceeding against the other. Further, where permissible by law, unless both you and MalTajmae agree otherwise, no court may consolidate any other person’s claim(s) with your Dispute, and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
For the avoidance of doubt, if this Class or representative action waiver is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Disputes clause shall remain valid and enforceable.

Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and MalTajmae with respect to their subject matter and supersede any and all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of any kind between you and MalTajmae (including but not limited to any prior versions of these Terms).
Severability. If any provision of these Terms, as amended from time to time, is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under any law, such provision or part thereof shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of these Terms but the legality, validity and enforceability of the other provisions in these Terms shall not be affected and everything else in these Terms will continue in full force and effect.
In the event any provision or part thereof of these Terms is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision or part thereof shall be replaced by the parties with a legal, valid and enforceable provision or part thereof that has, to the greatest extent possible, a similar effect as the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, given the content and purpose of these Terms.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without MalTajmae’s prior written approval. You give MalTajmae your approval to assign or transfer these Terms in whole or in part, including but not limited to: (i) a parent company, subsidiary, affiliate, or other “group company” (“Group company” shall, in this context, refer to any entity which is under common control with MalTajmae, and “control” in this context refers to the direct or indirect ability to exercise a majority of the voting rights in such an entity); (ii) an acquirer of MalTajmae’s equity, business or assets; or (iii) a successor by merger.
Change of control. In the event that MalTajmae is acquired by or merged with a third party, we reserve the right to transfer or assign the information we have collected from you as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control.
Force Majeure. MalTajmae shall not be liable for any delays, failure in performance or interruption of service which result directly or indirectly from any cause or condition beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to, any delay or failure due to any act of God, act of civil or military authorities, act of terrorists, civil disturbance, war, strike or other labour dispute, fire, interruption in telecommunications or Internet services or network provider services, failure of equipment and/or software, other catastrophe or any other occurrence which is beyond our reasonable control.
Survival. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature extend beyond the expiry or termination of these Terms, including but not limited to, sections relating to the suspension or termination of your MalTajmae Account, use of the MalTajmae Site, disputes with MalTajmae and general provisions, shall survive the termination of these Terms.
