Article 5. Registration

You will need your own LiteBit account to use the Service and obtain full access to www.litebit.eu, all of its subdomains and applications (the "Website").

Upon registration, you will be provided with a LiteBit account. You will be able to use your account for trading after the onboarding process (as further described below) has been completed.

For some countries LiteBit is not allowed to accept new clients due to national regulation, including but not limited to Germany and the United States.

LiteBit has established rules regarding the content, nature and range of its Service to certain (categories of) natural persons and legal entities. LiteBit has the right not to accept persons or entities as customer or not to accept them for certain services without giving a reason.

Every customer needs to identify and verify themselves within one month after registration. Accounts that do not meet this requirement will be deleted.

Article 6. Customer identification

Combatting money laundering and terrorism financing is at the core of LiteBit's business. As a result, LiteBit places prime importance on implementing – and strictly adhering to – appropriate and robust anti-money laundering policies and procedures (the "LiteBit AML Measures").

As part of the LiteBit AML Measures, LiteBit needs to know its customers. This means that the identity of any Service user that wishes to make use of the LiteBit service offering must be established and verified.

In order to buy or sell cryptocurrency or Euro balance  (“EUR”) (as described in Article 20) any user will be required to register an account with LiteBit and identify themselves. You will have to provide certain information as part of the verification procedure. You expressly agree that LiteBit may verify the veracity of such information in any manner necessary. As part of the identification process, users must also provide a small transaction to one of LiteBit's bank accounts. The name associated with the payment instrument chosen to effect this transaction (or the bank account directly or indirectly linked to the payment instrument, where applicable) must match the name of the user exactly.

Any cryptocurrency wallet address used in connection with the Service (for example to receive cryptocurrency bought using the Service), with the exception of the use of LiteBit Wallets, must be in your possession. As part of the verification of an external wallet as being your wallet LiteBit can ask you to provide a small cryptocurrency transaction to one of LiteBit’s wallets. When successful, this external wallet address will be added to your LiteBit account. You can then use this external wallet in combination with our Service. You are not allowed to send cryptocurrencies to external wallet addresses during the first 48 hours after becoming a fully verified customer of LiteBit. The Service may not be used to transfer cryptocurrency to a wallet address controlled by a third party. You may not store cryptocurrency transferred directly from a wallet address controlled by a third party in a LiteBit Wallet (as defined below), nor may you use your account to sell cryptocurrency stored in a wallet controlled by a third party. Aforementioned excludes custodian wallets accessible by you. LiteBit may restrict or deny the use of certain (custodian) wallets at its own discretion.

You agree to provide LiteBit with the requested information for the purposes of identity verification and the detection of money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other financial crime, and permit us to keep a record of such information. If any information you provided has changed, you agree to inform us within two weeks after the information you provided has changed. This applies to changes in personal circumstances, such as a change of address or a change in name, as well as for changes related to your business, such as a change of company activities, a bankruptcy or a change in the legal form of your company. Providing false, inaccurate or misleading information about your identity or not reporting changes in your personal information is a ground for immediate termination of your account.

In addition, in accordance with its AML Measures, LiteBit:

1. will report all suspicious transactions to relevant authorities;
2. employs active monitoring of transactions for fraud detection;
3. will cooperate with police, regulatory agencies, the office of the public prosecutor and other governmental agencies;
4. will block and/or freeze any user accounts associated with fraud;
5. is allowed to block and/or freeze any account if client has not supplied all information and/or documents required for verification and/or identification;
6. will charge fraudulent clients with costs made by LiteBit for investigating and resolving fraudulent or other criminal activities, these costs will be settled against clients funds at LiteBit.

Article 7. Account use

To prevent fraud and abuse, Service users may not register for – or use – multiple accounts. Any additional LiteBit account determined to be created to circumvent this requirement will be disabled. Mass account creation may result in disabling of all related accounts.

For the avoidance of doubt, you may not buy, sell or transfer LiteBit accounts.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account and password, restricting access to your account and for any use or action taken under your account. LiteBit strongly encourages users to use two-factor authentication to protect their account.

You are not allowed to use the LiteBit platform in a way that can harm LiteBit, including taking advantage of or abusing possible system flaws. In situations in which LiteBit, in its sole discretion, is under the impression that LiteBit is harmed by your use of its Service and/or your use of the Services is causing LiteBit damages, LiteBit is allowed to cancel any order involved and claim any losses that were caused by your use of the Service.

You agree to accept responsibility for – and bear the full risk of – any and all activities that occur under your account and all transactions entered into under your account. LiteBit cannot be held liable for any misuse of your login credentials and is always entitled to assume that the user who logs on to your account is the party that it professes to be.

If you know, or have reason to suspect, that your login credentials have become available to unauthorized parties, you must change your password as soon as possible and notify LiteBit accordingly so as to us to take appropriate measures.

If you believe there is unauthorized activity associated with your account, you should contact us immediately. At your request, we can temporarily block the access to your account.

Article 8. The relationship between you and us

This User Agreement governs the relationship between you and us. LiteBit is an independent contractor for all purposes.

Your use of the Service is at your own risk.

Article 9. Our responsibilities

The services of LiteBit are that LiteBit enables you to conduct transactions, use services and hold positions in cryptocurrencies via the network of brokers, counterparties, exchanges and other parties with whom LiteBit has a direct or indirect relationship. LiteBit will exercise due care in selecting and continuously monitoring the third parties that LiteBit itself directly involves.

"As is" basis

We provide you with the Service (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Website) on an "as is" basis: we make no representations or warranties of any kind as to the operation of the Service and disclaim any and all representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, including without limitation any warranty that the Service will meet your requirements, will always be available, accessible, uninterrupted, timely, secure, operate without error or will contain any particular features or functionality. LiteBit explicitly does not guarantee the continuous and faultless operation of its Service and is authorized to temporarily suspend access to or the operation of one or more Services, for instance in connection with malfunctions or repairs. It may be clear, that LiteBit will only make use of this right where LiteBit deems this necessary to comply with applicable rules and regulations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, anti-money laundering legislation) and/or for the protection of the Service users, of LiteBit and/or of the proper functioning of markets and prices. Please be aware that we may modify, suspend or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, at any time without notice. LiteBit will not be liable for any problems that might occur due to changes it has made to its Service.

Website contents

The content of the Website is composed with the greatest care. However, LiteBit cannot guarantee that all information on the Website is correct and complete at all times. All prices and other information posted on the Website and in other materials originating from LiteBit are subject to obvious programming and typing errors.

User actions

We are not responsible for the actions of any user.

Third party goods and services

We have no control over, or liability for, the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services that you may purchase, hold, use or sell using the Service.

LiteBit does not own or control the underlying software protocols which govern the operation of the cryptocurrencies supported by our Service. LiteBit assumes no responsibility for the operation of the underlying protocols and we are not able to guarantee their functionality, security or availability.

You hereby acknowledge and accept the risk that underlying software protocols relating to any cryptocurrency may change. In particular, the underlying protocols are likely to be subject to sudden changes in operating rules (so called "forks") and such forks may materially affect the value, function and/or the name of the cryptocurrency you buy using the Service and/or that you store in your LiteBit Wallet (as defined below). You explicitly acknowledge that it is your responsibility to make yourself aware of – and determine how to deal with – upcoming forks. In the event of a fork, there is a risk that we may need to temporarily suspend operations in relation to that fork without providing advance notice to you. We may, in our reasonable discretion, decline to support either or both branches of a fork. You acknowledge the risks presented by forks and you accept that LiteBit has no responsibility to assist you to move or sell an unsupported branch of a forked protocol.

Laws and regulations

You accept that LiteBit is not obligated to provide any Service when LiteBit believes that this will violate applicable laws and regulations. You accept that all Services are governed by applicable laws and regulations and that such laws and regulations have priority over the agreements concluded between you and LiteBit.

Article 10. Your responsibilities

In addition to your other obligations set out in this User Agreement, you have the obligation to LiteBit to take into account your own interests and the interests of LiteBit and its users to the best of your ability and to utilize the Service in a careful and prudent manner.

LiteBit does not provide (investment) advice regarding cryptocurrencies. You acknowledge that any information provided as part of the Service is not intended as a (personal) recommendation to buy, sell, hold, making available or lend (cryptocurrency) assets. All trading services of LiteBit are offered on the basis of "execution only". Your orders are executed automatically by our systems.

You hereby confirm to be aware of and accept the risks associated with the purchase, sale, holding, making available and lending of cryptocurrencies and agree not to enter into transactions that can lead to losses that you cannot bear.

Article 11. Deposit Euro balance

In order to be able to buy cryptocurrencies you first need to buy Euro balance (“EUR”). EUR can be bought using a limited variety of payment methods. LiteBit uses EUR to facilitate transactions relating to the Service. Using EUR allows for swift transactions. EUR can be acquired in exchange for both fiat and cryptocurrency (more information on EUR can be found in Article 20 of this Agreement). EUR will be added to the EUR balance in your account.

Deposit EUR

EUR deposit orders are entered via the Website or in the app. By entering an amount and selecting a payment method, you are authorizing us to initiate the transaction and agree to any associated fees. You cannot cancel, reverse, or change any transaction marked as complete or pending.

Once you enter a EUR deposit order this order may be accepted by us:

1. you will be provided with a payment request for that transaction;
2. you must transfer the exact agreed upon amount of funds to the bank account designated by us as soon as possible;

3. when the receipt of funds does occur in a timely manner, LiteBit will update the EUR balance in your account.

Under the following circumstances your EUR deposit order can be cancelled:

1. if the payment is executed with a third party account the payment will not be processed. Your EUR deposit order will be canceled.
2. if no successful verification of the payment method has taken place, the payment will not be processed. Your EUR deposit order will be canceled.
3. if not all information and/or documents requested by LiteBit have been provided by you and/or the transaction violates our AML policies, the payment will not be processed. Your EUR deposit order will be canceled.

If a transaction is declared invalid or being canceled in accordance with (1), (2), and (3) above, this will result in you being entitled to a refund (unless Article 32 of this User Agreement is applicable) of any remitted funds (less any costs incurred by LiteBit). Refunds will be made to the bank account LiteBit received the payment from. You will be responsible for any applicable transaction fees.

Payment method verification

As further set out in Article 6 (Customer identification), before fulfilling a EUR deposit order LiteBit will need to verify the user's payment instrument.

Any EUR purchased by you will not be delivered until this verification process has been completed.

If this verification is not completed within 5 (five) calendar days, LiteBit will refund the EUR to the Bank account LiteBit received the payment from. Note that (i) bank accounts that are not in your own name are not accepted, (ii) joint bank accounts are accepted provided that additional verification of the account has been completed, and (iii) if you are a legal entity, only business bank accounts are accepted.

If the account cannot be verified, LiteBit will refund the EUR to the bank account LiteBit received the payment from.

Suspension of orders

When, in our opinion, an unusual situation (technical, legal or otherwise in nature) takes place, LiteBit may suspend your EUR deposit orders until further analysis of the intended transaction has been carried out.

On suspicion of criminal activities, LiteBit reserves the right to suspend transaction(s) until the buyer and/or transaction has been verified. LiteBit may do this by telephone, e-mail or other means if possible, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Cancellation of orders

LiteBit is allowed to cancel your EUR deposit order if the transaction (or you or your trading behavior) – in the opinion of LiteBit – raise suspicion. If this occurs, LiteBit will refund your money as soon as possible (unless Article 32 of this User Agreement is applicable). Any such refund, less any costs incurred by LiteBit and any applicable LiteBit fees, will be made to the account from which LiteBit originally received the payment for the order.

Article 12. Buying and withdrawing cryptocurrencies

In addition to bitcoin, we offer a large range of alternative cryptocurrencies, which can be bought using EUR.

Delivery to recipient wallet address

Any cryptocurrencies bought by you will be delivered by us to the specified wallet address (the "Recipient Wallet Address"). You are fully responsible for entering the correct Recipient Wallet Address.

Withdraw cryptocurrencies

When you want to withdraw Cryptocurrencies to an external wallet, LiteBit can ask you to verify external wallets used by you in connection with our Services by means of whitelisting the wallet. This means that the external wallet must be verified by LiteBit as your wallet by means of a small cryptocurrency transaction between your external wallet and LiteBit (if requested by LiteBit). You are allowed to whitelist a maximum of 5 (five) external wallets per cryptocurrency. The whitelisted external wallets will be added to your LiteBit account.

You are not allowed to send cryptocurrencies to external wallet addresses during the first 48 hours after becoming a fully verified customer of LiteBit.

If your external wallet is not whitelisted, after a request from LiteBit to whitelist, you will not be able to use this wallet in connection with our Services. Withdrawals of cryptocurrencies to external wallets that are not whitelisted are not possible till verification is completed.

By whitelisting your external wallet addresses you and LiteBit prevent a third party from withdrawing funds to an external wallet address which is not owned by you.

Buy orders

Buy orders are entered by clicking the "buy" button on the Website or in the app. By clicking this button, you are authorizing us to initiate the transaction at the quoted price and agree to any associated fees. You cannot cancel, reverse, or change any transaction marked as complete or pending.

If a transaction is declared invalid or canceled in accordance with (1) or (2) above, this will result in you being entitled to a refund (unless Article 32 of this User Agreement is applicable) of any remitted funds (less any costs incurred by LiteBit). Refunds will be made in EUR. You will be responsible for any applicable transaction fees.

You agree and acknowledge that if you enter an incorrect Recipient Wallet Address, we will not be able to recover any cryptocurrency delivered to that address and that you will not be entitled to any refunds and/or replacement cryptocurrency.

Article 14. LiteBit wallets

For your convenience, LiteBit offers a wallet feature for storage and retrieval of cryptocurrency (a "LiteBit Wallet"). A LiteBit Wallet is a digital storage in which you are able to store your cryptocurrency. For every kind of cryptocurrency, you will need a different LiteBit Wallet. Please refer to the Website for an up-to-date list of the different LiteBit Wallets that are available.

You are responsible for transferring cryptocurrencies from your external wallet to a LiteBit Wallet using the right blockchain network. Transferring cryptocurrencies from an external wallet address to a LiteBit Wallet using the wrong blockchain network (cross-chain transactions) are not supported by LiteBit and results in the cryptocurrencies being lost.

LiteBit makes sure that all positions in cryptocurrency held in LiteBit Wallets are booked in its administration. LiteBit holds these positions for your risk and account. All LiteBit Wallet addresses are owned by LiteBit.

By transferring cryptocurrency to a LiteBit Wallet, you transfer the title of that cryptocurrency to LiteBit. Upon the transfer of cryptocurrency to your LiteBit Wallet, you will receive a claim against LiteBit for delivery of the same amount of that cryptocurrency to you.

LiteBit Wallet security

LiteBit will take every reasonable measure to secure funds stored in a LiteBit Wallet, but cannot guarantee complete security. Any use is at your own risk.

Omnibus wallets

We hereby inform you that LiteBit may store user funds in "omnibus wallets", containing the cryptocurrencies of several users. If cryptocurrencies held in an omnibus wallet, of which the details have not been recorded so as to identify them as being the property of specific users, are destroyed or otherwise lost by LiteBit for reasons for which LiteBit cannot be held liable, any resulting deficiency shall be apportioned by LiteBit among those users who, at the moment of the destruction or loss, had a claim on LiteBit for the delivery of the same type of cryptocurrency, pro rata to the amounts of their claims at said moment.

Balance statements

On your account, you will at all times have an overview of the balance on your LiteBit Wallet(s). The balance of your LiteBit Wallet represents a claim against LiteBit for the delivery of the relevant cryptocurrency(-ies).

Third party hosted wallets

For some cryptocurrencies, LiteBit offers LiteBit Wallets hosted with third parties. Although LiteBit takes great care in selecting these third party service providers, LiteBit assumes no responsibility for (i) the quality of these wallets, (ii) their uptime or (iii) any other issues relating to services provided in connection with these wallets. You agree and acknowledge that you are aware of the possibility that in case of default by – or bankruptcy of – a third party hosted wallet provider, you may not be able to regain (all) cryptocurrency.

Any requests for service and/or assistance in relation to these wallets must be made directly with the third party service provider.

Bankruptcy and mingling of assets

In the event of a bankruptcy of LiteBit (or of a third party hosted LiteBit Wallet service provider where cryptocurrencies of users are held, or the actual control under a lending agreement is exercised), it may occur that under the national laws applicable to LiteBit – or that third party hosted LiteBit Wallet service provider – it is not possible to distinguish cryptocurrencies belonging to a user from LiteBit and (i) cryptocurrencies belonging to another user of LiteBit or (ii) cryptocurrencies that LiteBit or this third party holds for itself or another party.

The user is aware that in case of default or bankruptcy of LiteBit or said third party, he may not be able to regain (all) his cryptocurrency.

Transferring from LiteBit Wallet to external wallet

If you want to transfer cryptocurrencies from your LiteBit Wallet to an external wallet, LiteBit may ask you to verify this external wallet used by you in connection with our Services. If requested by LiteBit your external wallet must be verified by LiteBit as your wallet by means of a small cryptocurrency transaction between your external wallet and LiteBit.

If your external wallet is not whitelisted, after a request from LiteBit, you will not be able to use this wallet to transfer cryptocurrencies from your LiteBit Wallet to the external wallet.

Article 15. On-Chain Staking Services

User has the option to store Cryptocurrency in LiteBit Wallets. User may be given the option to stake these Cryptocurrencies in a third party blockchain network via staking services provided by LiteBit (“On-Chain Staking Services”).

User opt-in

In order to use LiteBit’s On-Chain Staking Services, User must opt-in by selecting the On-Chain Staking Services for each of the Cryptocurrency held in User’s LiteBit Wallet: (i) for which LiteBit offers On-Chain Staking Services (the “Staked Cryptocurrencies”), and (ii) for which User wants to participate in the On-Chain Staking Services. LiteBit, in its sole discretion, decides to support On-Chain Staking for certain Cryptocurrencies or not. LiteBit may choose to discontinue such support at any time without LiteBit being obligated to warn User about this in advance or compensate User for the Staking Rewards User misses as a result.

By opting-in for the On-Chain Staking Services, User agrees that LiteBit will stake User’s Staked Cryptocurrencies available in User’s LiteBit Wallet on User’s behalf. The Staked Cryptocurrencies stored in User’s LiteBit Wallet will be placed by LiteBit on a third party blockchain network. In return the blockchain network involved offers a reward in Cryptocurrency. LiteBit may use third party validators to facilitate the On-Chain Staking Services. During staking activities the private keys remain under the control of LiteBit at all times.

Staking Reward

If LiteBit receives a reward for these staking activities, LiteBit will distribute (part of) the reward to User (the “Staking Reward”). Most Staking Rewards will be distributed in the Cryptocurrency that was Staked. However, the reward for some Staked Cryptocurrencies might be distributed in the form of another Cryptocurrency. The percentage and timing of such distribution will: (i) be determined by LiteBit in its sole discretion; (ii) be subject to LiteBit’s staking fee (if applicable); (iii) vary per Staked Cryptocurrencies; and (iv) be further detailed in the Account of User. Staking results are subject to change. Previously achieved staking results will be published on the website.

User acknowledges and agrees to have no right to Staking Rewards until the Staking Rewards are received by LiteBit. Staking Rewards will be distributed to the LiteBit Account of User on a weekly basis after they are received by LiteBit.

LiteBit employs measures to ensure that the On-Chain Staking Services are accessible 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Nevertheless, LiteBit does not guarantee the availability of the On-Chain Staking Services at all times nor guarantee that User will receive Staking Rewards.

Lock-in Period

For certain Staked Cryptocurrencies it is possible that the Cryptocurrencies are locked for staking for a certain period of time (“Lock-in Period”). User is informed of any applicable Lock-in Periods before opting-in to the On-Chain Staking Services for one of the Staked Cryptocurrencies.

You hereby acknowledge and accept the risk that when you opt-in on On-Chain Staking Services with a Lock-in Period, You cannot withdraw or sell these Staked Cryptocurrencies during the specified Lock-in Period.

LiteBit is not liable for any damage or impermanent loss suffered by User as a result of User not being able to withdraw or sell the Staked Cryptocurrencies during the Lock-in Period. 

User opt-out

User can opt-out from the On-Chain Staking Services (without a Lock-in Period) at any time through the setting page in User’s LiteBit account. User will no longer receive Staking Rewards after User has opted-out from the On-Chain Staking Service. If applicable, any Staking Rewards owed to User prior to the opted-out date will be paid at the following Staking Rewards distribution.

If User wants to opt-out for On-Chain Staking Services with a Lock-in Period,  the opt-out will be executed no earlier than when the Lock-in Period has come to an end.

Upon any termination or suspension of this User Agreement, the possibility to use the On-Chain Staking Services to receive Staking Rewards will cease to exist.

Risks involved

User is aware of the significant risks related to the On-Chain Staking Services and acknowledge it is not required to use the On-Chain Staking Services of LiteBit. The blockchain networks suitable for On-Chain Staking are not operated by LiteBit, but by third parties. 

By making use of LiteBit’s On-Chain Staking Services You confirm that You: (i) have read and understood the relevant terms and conditions regarding LiteBit’s On-Chain Staking Services, (ii) acknowledge and accept the significant risks involved in the On-Chain Staking Services, (iii) accept and acknowledge that it is your responsibility to ensure you comply with any applicable local regulations and do not reside in a country nor fall under a jurisdiction of a country under which applicable laws you are not allowed to make use of On-Chan Staking Services, and (iv) accept the risk you may lose your Staked Cryptocurrencies without being entitled to any compensation from the side of LiteBit. LiteBit will not be responsible or liable for any such loss (whether total or otherwise).

Article 16. Mistakes and verification of information

You must check the information made available by LiteBit as soon as possible after it has been made available by LiteBit, so as to limit damage as a result of errors. If you do not receive a message from us while you know, or should know, that you can expect a message from us, you will make us aware of that in writing as soon as possible.

If you detect an inaccuracy or incompleteness, you must inform us about this as soon as possible.

LiteBit will determine, possibly in consultation with you, if and how the possible error can be fixed. If LiteBit is liable for the damage suffered as a result of the error and such damage could reasonably have been limited if you would have signaled and reported the damage as agreed in this article, then the liability of LiteBit will in any case be limited to the amount of the damage that would have been suffered if you would have reported the error to us within 24 (twenty four) hours after the information has been or should have been provided to you.

LiteBit is authorized to fix or otherwise undo any error or mistake and any transactions and bookings that are the direct or indirect result of such error or mistake.

LiteBit is entitled to correct any mistake in bank account and name match and is able to cancel and refund transactions. LiteBit can charge client with fees for these transactions if the client has made a mistake in the bank account verification or registration procedure.

LiteBit's administration serves as complete proof between you and us except for proof to the contrary provided by you.

Article 19. Payments and pricing

You understand and acknowledge that all rates and quotes published on the Website are variable and subject to change at any time.

With every buy order, you are required to pay a purchase price. For every sell order, you will be entitled to receive a selling price.

Payments to us can be made using any one of the payment methods supported by us. The availability of a method of payment depends on a number of factors including, for example, where you are located, the identification information you have provided to us and limitations imposed by third party payment processors. Please refer to the Website for an overview of the payment methods we currently support. Additional conditions may apply based on the selected payment method. The amount of cryptocurrency delivered might differ from the amount indicatively quoted because of delayed settlement or discounted transaction fees. Please refer to our Website for more information on these fees and conditions.

Payments to you will be made by us through wire transfer to your bank account.

All transactions relating to the Service – other than transactions in cryptocurrency – are denominated in euros. LiteBit does not accept and does not pay any amounts in fiat currencies other than euros.

Article 20. Euro balance

LiteBit uses Euro balance (”EUR”) to facilitate transactions relating to the Service. Using EUR allows for swift transactions. EUR can be acquired in exchange for both fiat and cryptocurrency.

Your EUR will be shown as an account balance associated with your account (the " EUR balance"). The EUR balance is neither a bank account, electronic money nor any kind of payment instrument. It functions as a transitory item to use the Services and can only be spent with LiteBit. Your EUR balance may only be used to obtain cryptocurrency or to be transferred into fiat. Your EUR balance is non-transferable. Your EUR balance, or part thereof, may be refunded in euros upon request.

EUR are offered as a means to facilitate transactions and are only meant for this purpose. Therefore EUR are expected to be used for transactions in an acceptable time and not to be stored for other purposes. For that reason clients are not allowed to hold EUR on their account for longer than 30 (thirty) days. LiteBit can contact clients to withdraw or use EUR if these are stored for a longer period of time. If client doesn’t withdraw or uses his/her EUR after LiteBit contacted client, LiteBit is entitled to freeze the account and/or transfer the EUR to clients registered bank account. The associated costs of this process, 15 (fifteen) euro per transfer of EUR to bank account, will be deducted from the amount of EUR that will be returned to the registered bank account.

We endeavor to transfer refunds to your bank account last used in connection with the Service within 10 (ten) Dutch business days of the request being made. In exceptional circumstances, it may take more than 10 (ten) business days to process your request for a refund. As further set out in Article 6 (Customer identification), LiteBit will need to verify your bank account. If your account hasn't previously been verified, refunds for EUR will not be remitted until this verification process has been completed and the 10 (ten) business day term mentioned above will commence from the moment the verification process has been completed.

Article 21. Costs and charges

The costs and charges due in connection with the Service are set out in Annex 1 (LiteBit’s Costs and Charges) and may be amended by LiteBit from time to time without prior notice.

Please refer to the Website for the most recent overview of LiteBit’s costs and charges.

Article 22. Conflicts of interests

When providing its services, it is unavoidable that conflicts of interest occur. For example between LiteBit and its users or between different LiteBit users. LiteBit will use all reasonable efforts to recognize such conflicts of interest and to prevent or control them.

Article 23. Support for cryptocurrencies

LiteBit strives to offer support (in the form of buying, using, selling and storage services) for as many cryptocurrencies as possible.

From time to time, LiteBit may decide to add or remove support for any cryptocurrency for any reason. You will be notified of such changes by email and the relevant announcement will be posted on the Website. In each case, LiteBit strives to provide such notice at least 10 (ten) calendar days prior to such change taking effect, although certain circumstances may warrant a shorter notice period. LiteBit bears no responsibility for any damages occurring after delisting a cryptocurrency.

Under no circumstances should you attempt to use a LiteBit Wallet to store, send, request or receive cryptocurrencies in any form that we do not support. We assume no responsibility or liability in connection with any attempt to use your Wallet(s) for cryptocurrencies that we do not support.

In case LiteBit Wallets for a particular cryptocurrency will be discontinued, you will have 30 (thirty) calendar days (the "Grace Period"), if technically possible, from the date of the abovementioned announcement to (i) transfer any remaining cryptocurrency in that LiteBit Wallet to a third party wallet or (ii) sell any remaining cryptocurrency in that LiteBit Wallet using the Service. The “Grace Period” can be less than 30 (thirty) days for reasons beyond the influence of LiteBit, which LiteBit cannot be held responsible for.

LiteBit has the explicit right to delete LiteBit Wallets of delisted cryptocurrencies, including the cryptocurrencies that are still in this wallet, after six months after the “Grace Period”. This also applies if the currencies have not yet been transferred to a third party wallet or have not yet been sold using the Service.

Article 24. Taxes

You shall be solely responsible for and shall pay (and shall indemnify LiteBit against any liability with respect to any failure by you to pay) all employment taxes, income taxes, value added taxes, goods and services taxes and any and all other taxes or sums due to national, federal, state or local governments (as the case may be) as a result of your use of the Service and LiteBit's performance under this User Agreement.

You acknowledge that only you are responsible for the provision of information to tax authorities where such is required. Notwithstanding the above, upon request from a tax authority, LiteBit will provide information relating to you to the tax authorities.

In relation to sell orders, you agree that no value added tax will be deducted from any cryptocurrency you sell to us.

Annex 1. LiteBit’s Costs and Charges

LiteBit currently charges the following costs and charges in connection with the Service.

Service:	Costs and charges:
Account fees	None.
Buy- and sell orders	The price you pay or receive to purchase or sell cryptocurrency (each a "Transaction") is determined by: the market exchange rate on LiteBit's trading platform for that cryptocurrency, increased by a spread or surcharge (a "Spread"), calculated at the time we quote a price to you (the "Quoted Spread", together with a commission that is either a flat fee or a percentage of the transaction, depending on the amount you are purchasing. At the time your Transaction is executed, the actual spread or difference in the User Exchange Rate and the market exchange rate may be higher or lower than the Quoted Spread due to movement in the market price between the time we provide the quote and the time you click to confirm the transaction, but this will not affect the price you pay or receive.
LiteBit Wallets	LiteBit offers LiteBit Wallets free of charge. This means we will store your cryptocurrency at no cost to you. If you transfer cryptocurrency from your LiteBit Wallet, LiteBit does not receive any compensation for such transfers, but these transfers may incur network transaction fees, such as so called "miner’s fees". Any such transfer fees will be disclosed to you at the time of the transaction.

This overview is subject to change from time to time. Please refer to the Website for the most recent version of this Annex 1 (LiteBit’s Costs and Charges).
