  • Customers must ensure that the information provided during registration is accurate and up to date. Any changes must be reported to the Company within two weeks. The Company, in accordance with its AML/CFT obligations, may request verification of the provided information or additional supporting documents.

  • The Customer is responsible for all activities conducted through their Account and must immediately report any unauthorized use or security breaches. The Company is not liable for unauthorized Account use, even though it may implement monitoring techniques to detect fraudulent activities. The Customer assumes full responsibility for any unauthorized use resulting from their personal password and Account information.
  • The Company does not accept cash transactions. All transactions between the Customer and the Company must be conducted via wire transfer, allowing the Company to verify the identities of both parties if necessary. Additionally, the Company does not process transactions from third parties on behalf of the Customer.
  • Use of the Account for illegal activities, including money laundering and fraud, is strictly prohibited. The Company will report any suspicious activity to the relevant authorities, and it is forbidden for the Customer to misuse their Account to evade Company-imposed restrictions.

3. SERVICE OVERVIEW

 

  • We offer an exchange service enabling Customers to place Orders for purchasing Virtual Assets using fiat currency. Through this Platform, Customers can access real-time quotes and transaction details for virtual asset products, submit
    transaction instructions, and complete their transactions.
  • To use these Services, Customers must first register and verify an Account, thereby becoming Users. Access to the Services is limited to the individual who registered the Account and is intended for their exclusive use.


4. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND VERIFICATION
 

  • In order to be able to create an Account, the Customer must first complete the registration process. We open accounts only to clients who are at least 18 years old.
    We reserve the right to deny or suspend Account access, either temporarily or permanently, based on our discretion, risk assessments, or directives from governmental, regulatory, or law enforcement authorities.
  • Client will choose a username and password during account registration process, and may be required to set up multi-factor authentication (collectively referred to as "Login Credentials"). For security purposes, we may occasionally request
    updates to the Login Credentials. The Account can only be accessed using these
    Login Credentials, unless otherwise authorized by us.
  • Following registration, the Customer must proceed with the Verification Process. This involves providing documentation and information to confirm their identity and comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements. The Customer must submit accurate details, including:
  • Personal information (such as name, date of birth, and address)
  • Contact details (email address, phone number, and other relevant details)
  • Identification documents (such as passport or ID card, proof of address, and any other necessary documents)
  • Information to verify the source of funds or wealth, including details about fiat money deposits from accounts with other service providers and, if applicable, data from electronic wallets held with third parties.
  • To verify the accuracy and relevance of the information submitted by the Customer, the Platform reserves the right to carry out necessary checks. Once these verifications are completed, the Customer will receive a notification at the email address they provided, informing them of their eligibility to establish an Account and become a User.
 

5. CONFIDENTIALITY

 

Company’s Privacy Policy regulates data protection and its privacy. Said policy can be reviewed on the Platform.

 

6. ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY

 

  • The Customer is responsible for maintaining secure access to their Account
    and should follow these practices: select a unique password, update
    it regularly, and keep Login Credentials separate from other authentication methods.
  • All login credentials must be kept strictly confidential, and the Customer should
    log out of the Account when not in use. If unauthorized activity is
    suspected, it must be reported in writing immediately.
  • Failure to promptly report such access may result in forfeiting the right to request an investigation and resolution.


7. VENLYNX SP. Z.O.O. AUTHORITY AND OBLIGATIONS
 

  • The Company holds several key rights concerning its operations:
  • It can refuse, revoke, or alter any transaction initiated by the Customer and may place the Customer's Account on temporary hold if necessary.
  • The Company has the authority to modify transactions to ensure compliance with this Agreement and to restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the Platform for specific funds, transactions, or Customers.
  • It may deny Platform access or transactions if there are violations of security protocols or system malfunctions that affect functionality.
  • In cases of internal investigations, the Company may temporarily suspend
    Accounts and restrict actions, such as withdrawals, to support anti-money
    laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) efforts.

    Such actions will not impact the Company’s rights if there is a reasonable suspicion of fraudulent behavior, legal violations, or non-compliance with the Agreement.
 
  • The Company has complete control over the Platform's content and functionality, including the ability to make changes at its discretion. It also determines the availability of the Platform for specific financial instruments or transactions.
  • The Company may seek external advice or expertise as needed and does not guarantee the execution of all transactions. The Customer acknowledges that the Company is not liable for any errors occurring during the execution process.
 

8. ORDER PLACEMENT

 

  • Orders for Exchange Services are placed through the User's Account on the Platform. The Customer acknowledges that each Order will be executed based on their representation that they intend to exchange virtual assets for other financial instruments.
  • To process an Order, the Customer must provide detailed information, including the exact volume of virtual assets or fiat currency they wish to exchange (referred to as "Consideration"), the total amount of Consideration, the specific volume of virtual assets or fiat currency they wish to receive in exchange, and any additional information required to complete the Order.

9. VIRTUAL IBAN INFRASTRUCTURE FOR CLIENT TRANSACTIONS

To simplify the processing of fiat payments linked to virtual asset transactions, Venlynx Sp. z. o.o. relies on a system of Virtual IBANs (vIBANs). These identifiers, generated via our banking partner, are tied to specific clients or orders to facilitate accurate referencing and seamless flow of funds. However, despite resembling standard bank account numbers, vIBANs do not provide any banking functionality.Operational Role of vIBANsEach vIBAN assigned under this arrangement functions as a one-way routing mechanism. When a client transfers fiat funds to the designated vIBAN, those funds are not held or managed in an account under the client's name. Instead, the payment is automatically redirected to Venlynx Sp. z.o.o., where it is promptly applied toward executing the client’s virtual asset purchase request. The use of vIBANs does not imply the provision of any financial services and is strictly confined to supporting virtual asset conversions at the client's instruction.Limitations and Regulatory PositionIt is essential to understand that:
  • vIBANs do not grant account access, nor can they be used to store balances, initiate outgoing transfers, or receive payments from unrelated third parties;
  • Funds sent to a vIBAN are not deposited into a client-specific account, but are instead processed directly by Venlynx in fulfillment of a predefined exchange order;
  • This mechanism serves a purely technical and administrative function, limited to transaction allocation and reconciliation.
 

10. FEES AND COMMISSIONS
 

  • The client is required to pay any applicable fees for services used, including the exchange of cryptocurrencies for fiat currencies and vice versa, as detailed in the Terms of Service. Access to the Platform and its services is granted after the client
    successfully completes the registration and verification process.
  • For fiat currency deposits, Venlynx Sp. z.o.o. charges a fixed fee of 50 EUR per transaction plus a spread, as listed on the Platform.
    For cryptocurrency deposits, the cost is determined solely by the spread.
  • The spread will be set based on market conditions at the time of the transaction.
    Venlynx Sp. z.o.o. reserves the right to incorporate service costs
    into the exchange rate offered to the client.
  • The Company may change its costs, rates, and fees without prior notice. If an order is placed for less than 50 EUR, no service will be provided, and no refund will be issued. Before placing a buy or sell order, the client can review the commission rates for the desired service and may choose to decline the service if the fees are not acceptable.

 

11. CLIENT’S ASSURANCES, AUTHORIZATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
 

  • The Customer guarantees that they are of legal age, mentally competent, and the sole user of their account. They confirm their ability to enter into this Agreement and that all information provided during account registration is accurate and complete. The Customer agrees to promptly update the Company with any changes to this information.
  • By agreeing to these terms, the Customer relinquishes any claim to confidentiality concerning disputes, court cases, or public statements, including their outcomes or rulings. Additionally, the Customer permits the Company to disclose such information as allowed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), based on the Company's discretion.
  • Prompt reporting of any inaccuracies on the Platform, Account, or Services that might affect their interests is a commitment the Customer makes. They also agree
    not to take advantage of any system flaws for personal gain.
  • Notification to the Company regarding any unauthorized or incorrect transactions must be made by the Customer within one day. If the Customer does not secure their Account Credentials, resulting in unauthorized transactions, or if they fail to report the issue within one day of the transaction date, they will be held responsible for any associated losses.
  • By providing financial information to the Company, the Customer affirms
    that it accurately reflects their current financial status.
  • Any separate agreements with Company employees or agents about account services, such as profit guarantees or loss limits, are not recognized unless disclosed. The Customer must inform the Company’s Compliance Officer in writing if such agreements exist and promptly report any conflicting information. Authorization is required for all transactions unless covered by a Limited Transaction/Exchange Authorization. Disputes must be reported to the Compliance Officer according to the Agreement’s notification procedures. The Customer agrees to indemnify the Company for any damages or liabilities arising from not notifying the Compliance Officer as required.
  • Any damages, costs, and expenses, including legal fees, incurred by the Company in enforcing this Agreement will be reimbursed by the Customer. To address breaches of this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to deduct these
    amounts from any funds held in the Customer’s Account.
  • Staying informed about regulatory changes in their country of residence and understanding the rules for using the Platform is the Customer's responsibility.
  • The responsibility for calculating and reporting their activities to the relevant tax authorities, if necessary, rests entirely with the Customer.
 

12. ACCOUNT AND SERVICE TERMINATION

 

  • To close their Account, the Customer must provide written notice in advance and ensure that all pending activities, including open positions, are settled. The notice should be sent via email and explicitly state the Customer's intention to terminate the Account.

  • To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Customer agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless, including covering defense costs against any claims or criminal actions arising from the Customer's unlawful conduct.
