2. Purpose

This Platform enables Users to deposit and withdraw Fiat Currency, conduct Transactions, as well as acquire, deposit, and exchange Digital Assets and AKTIO Tokens, all within the Platform. These Services, which are described in the Main GTU, include the Mining Service, which is the subject of these GTUMP and is only available via the Mobile Application.
As part of the development and enhancement of the Mining Service offered on the Platform, a new company dedicated to this activity has been established as a company registered in the United Arab Emirates, VANCELIAN LTD, which participates in the provision of the Mining Service as described in these Mining Service General Terms and Conditions.

4. Description of the Mining Service
4.1 General Overview of the Mining Program
The Companies offer a blockchain vault service (called the "Mining Program") on the Mobile App. This program leverages Bitcoin mining to allow Users to invest in mining infrastructure and receive rewards from mining activities alongside the Companies. Funds deposited in the Mining Program are allocated to renting cutting-edge mining machines, which are hosted in various mining facilities around the world.
When a User accesses the Mining Program via the dedicated section of the Mobile App, all of the funds deposited by the User are allocated to the Mining Program.
The Mining Program may involve various Digital Assets.
For informational purposes, Bitcoin mining is a process of creating new Bitcoins by using computers to solve complex mathematical problems through a method known as proof of work ("PoW"). This process requires significant computing power and electricity consumption.
The Mining Program allows Users to earn daily rewards through Bitcoin mining via a mechanism known as “cloud mining.” Cloud mining enables Users to pool their capital to purchase computing power from mining facilities (the “Computing Power Fee”), allowing them to earn Digital Asset rewards on their investment.
4.2 Unification of the Mining Program
To optimize the management and transparency of the Mining Program, all previously existing variations of the mining program, regardless of their initial subscription terms, are now consolidated into a single program—except for Users who subscribed to the mining program as described in the General Terms and Conditions before September 24, 2024. These Users will retain a specific benefit described in Section 4.3, recognizing their early subscription to the program.
All Users who subscribed to the Mining Program before September 24, 2024, between September 24 and December 31, 2024, or after December 31, 2024, and who have agreed to these General Terms of the Mining Program will have their participation integrated into this unified program. This unification results in changes to the Users' rights and obligations, which will now be governed by these General Terms of the Mining Program.
Acceptance of these General Terms of the Mining Program constitutes express consent to this unification and to the modification of the Users' rights and obligations. A specific notification will be sent via the Mobile App or other communication means to gather the Users' express consent to these General Terms of the Mining Program.
4.3 Characteristics of the Mining Program
Terms of Enrollment in the Mining Program. The current Mining Program is accessible only by resuming a subscription to the Mining Program via the Queue Mechanism (as defined below) or by converting an earlier version of the mining program through express acceptance of these CGUPM.
Depending on the entry conditions into this Mining Program, the Users’ commitment period (“Duration”) will vary:
(i) if subscribing to the Mining Program by resuming a subscription through the Queue Mechanism, the new User has the option to assume the entirety of the initial subscriber’s commitments, including the remaining duration of their commitment, which continues until its originally scheduled end;
(ii) if subscribing to the Mining Program before September 24, 2024, and upon express acceptance of these CGUPM, Users expressly agree to be committed for a period of forty-eight (48) months from the effective date of enrollment in the Mining Program;
(iii) if subscribing to the Mining Program between September 24, 2024, and December 31, 2024, Users are committed for a 48-month period from the date of the initial deposit into the Mining Program. In other words, this 48-month commitment begins from the initial subscription date, preserving the history and continuity of the commitment initially made by the User over the period from September 24, 2024, to December 31, 2024;
(iv) if subscribing to the Mining Program after the effective date of these CGUPM, Users are committed for a 48-month period from the date of the first deposit into the Mining Program.
The User acknowledges and accepts that they cannot unilaterally terminate their participation in the Mining Program before the end of its Duration, while maintaining the same exit terms from the Mining Program as outlined below.
The Mining Program User will have access to two separate User Digital Wallets within their User Account: (i) the first User Digital Wallet is used to pay the Computing Power Price, which will remain vested in VANCELIAN LTD (in EURC tokens, as defined in the Main CGU) for the entire Duration of the Mining Program, and (ii) the second User Digital Wallet is intended to hold daily rewards in Digital Assets (in EURC tokens, as defined in the Main CGU) derived from the Mining Program, which can be withdrawn by the User at any time, and are safeguarded by VANCELIAN. VANCELIAN will also be responsible for managing the Platform interface.
Exit Terms for the Mining Program. Subject to the conditions outlined below, the User may end their participation in the Mining Program early, either without fees at least twenty-four (24) months after paying the Computing Power Price, or by paying Early Exit Fees at least six (6) months after paying the Computing Power Price.
Thus, any exit from the Mining Program before the end of its Duration (as outlined above) will be subject to the following conditions:
Less than six (6) months from the initial Computing Power Price payment: the User cannot terminate their participation in the Mining Program.
Between six (6) months and twenty-four (24) months from the initial Computing Power Price payment: the User may request an early exit from the Mining Program by (i) paying a fee of 5% of the total amount of the Computing Power Price subject to the refund request (the “Early Exit Fees”) and (ii) adhering to the Queue Mechanism (as described below).
Between twenty-four (24) months and forty-eight (48) months from the initial Computing Power Price payment: the User may request an early exit from the Mining Program without fees, provided they adhere to the Queue Mechanism (as described below).
By exception to the above rules, Users who subscribed to the Mining Program before September 24, 2024, and who have expressly accepted these CGUPM may, in any case, request an early exit from the Mining Program without fees, provided they adhere to the Queue Mechanism (as described below) starting from November 2025.
Operation of exit windows and the Queue Mechanism. Early exits are subject to exit windows and the Queue Mechanism. These exit windows are specific periods, open for two (2) weeks each year—once in May and once in November—at the sole discretion of the Companies. They allow Users who subscribed to the Mining Program to request the resumption of their subscription, providing a liquidity opportunity for Users who wish to terminate their participation in the Mining Program early.
General principle. Any exit from the Mining Program is subject to the Queue Mechanism. According to this mechanism, exits are only allowed if new liquidity from another User enters the Mining Program concurrently, meaning another User joins the Mining Program by paying the Computing Power Price.
Processing exit requests. Exit requests from the Mining Program are handled on a “first-come, first-served” basis. Users wishing to leave the Mining Program must submit a request to the Companies to resume all or part of their Mining Program subscription. Each request is placed in a queue in the order it was received. The User who submitted the first exit request will be served first, subject to a new incoming investor’s participation.
Partial or complete resumption. If an incoming User only resumes part of the amount offered by a leaving User, only the resumed portion will be processed. The remaining portion of the contract will remain in the Queue awaiting a new participant during the next exit window.
Queue Management. The Queue is managed automatically by the Companies’ technological infrastructure. Resumptions are carried out strictly in accordance with the priority order of exit requests. Each transaction, whether it involves a partial or complete resumption, is recorded in real-time to ensure the transparency and integrity of the process.
Obligations of the Parties. The User acknowledges and agrees that all exit requests from the Mining Program are subject to these conditions and that resumption of the Mining Program subscription depends on the availability of new incoming investors during the exit windows. The Companies do not guarantee the liquidity of Digital Assets outside these specific periods or compliance with the Queue Mechanism. The Companies are not responsible for any malfunction or failure of the Queue. They do not guarantee that the Mining Program will attract sufficient new Users, and therefore, they do not guarantee that the Queue Mechanism will generate the expected liquidity for existing Mining Program subscriptions wishing to exit early before the end of their Term. The lack of appeal of the Mining Program could be due to various factors, including a market environment that makes the Mining Program less attractive in terms of returns.
Miscellaneous provisions regarding the Mining Program. The User acknowledges and agrees that the Mining Program involves inherent risks, including the volatility of Digital Assets, changes in regulations and technology, as well as the availability and security of mining operation infrastructures.
The User expressly accepts and acknowledges that only VANCELIAN LTD commits to refunding the Computing Power Price at the end of the Mining Program. However, the User recognizes that the Mining Program does not guarantee Digital Asset rewards or potential future earnings. Mining rewards will depend on the prevailing market conditions within the Mining Program’s framework and will not be guaranteed to the User.
All information presented on the Site is purely for illustrative purposes and subject to many factors.
Please note that the rate applicable to the Mining Program may change during its entire Term.
The Companies are not liable for losses incurred by the User due to the volatility of Digital Assets. The User alone is responsible for deciding to participate in the Mining Program.
To ensure the provision of the Mining Program at a reasonable standard, the Companies will make reasonable efforts to maintain all necessary facilities in good working condition, with the same level of diligence applied to their own operations.
The Companies reserve the right to suspend or terminate the Mining Program for legal, technological, or technical reasons.
The fees applicable to the Mining Program are available on the Platform in the following section: https://vancelian.com/memberships.
Loyalty Points may be awarded to Users who subscribe to the Mining Program at the Companies’ sole discretion. The details of these Loyalty Points will be visible in the dedicated section of the Mobile Application.
4.4 General Provisions Applicable to the Custody Service
In accordance with the provisions of articles 721-1-3 and 722-4 of the RG AMF, VANCELIAN states that prior to providing the Custody Service for Digital Assets, it has informed and concluded with the concerned User a written agreement provided in Annex 2, on a durable medium as defined in article 314-5 of the RG AMF, outlining the operational principles of the Custody Service for Digital Assets and identifying the respective rights and obligations of the parties.
4.5 New Mining Services
The Companies may expand their range of Mining Services by introducing new services on the Mobile Application, whether these services are accessible to all Users or solely through the User’s Account. These new services are considered an integral part of the Mining Services as defined in the “Definitions” section of these GTUMP and will be governed by these GTUMP. Unless otherwise stated, the new Mining Services can be used by the User as soon as they become available on the Mobile Application, subject to the prior creation of a User Account, if applicable.
Users expressly agree to receive communications of any kind from the Companies regarding new Mining Services available on the Mobile Application, whether by email or phone.
4.6 Evolution of Mining Services
The Companies may, at any time and without notice, develop, improve, or adapt the Platform and the Mining Services, and more generally the offered Mining Services, to enhance the features provided through the Mobile Application or the Mining Services framework. This may include deploying updates, new versions, new Mining Services, or other Mining Services, or discontinuing existing Mining Services.
In the event of the permanent discontinuation of an existing Mining Service, the Companies will make reasonable efforts to notify Users of this change in advance and propose alternative solutions (e.g., alternative Transactions, transfers to a third-party Service, etc.). If all Mining Services are permanently discontinued, the Companies will terminate these terms in accordance with the conditions and provisions set forth in the “Termination” section of the General Terms and Conditions.
Moreover, the Companies may at any time and without notice supplement or modify the Platform, its content, and the Mining Services available through it, depending on technological developments. In such cases, the User must ensure that the resources of their computer/phone are compatible with the modifications made to the Platform and the Mining Services.
4.7 Support
The Companies provide technical support to Users to offer information or assistance regarding the technical aspects and features of the Platform and the Mining Services.
The User remains solely responsible for their decisions, including whether to use the Mining Services. Technical support does not address inquiries regarding the advisability of using the Mining Services and does not offer any financial or strategic advice of any kind.
This support is available through a chatbot on the Platform, 24/7 (phone support is only available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM UTC and closed on Sundays). The Companies will strive to respond to the User’s request as quickly and appropriately as possible. However, the Companies make no commitment regarding response times, the relevance or completeness of the response, or the likelihood that the response will resolve the User’s issue or provide a solution.
Furthermore, the Companies will not offer any advice on using the Mining Services or on conducting Transactions involving Digital Assets. No information provided by the Companies should be interpreted as investment advice, financial advice, strategic advice, commercial advice, or any other type of advice.
Unless otherwise stated in these GTUMP, Transactions are carried out solely based on the instructions provided by the User, without any verification by the Companies of their relevance, merit, or quality. As a reminder, the User alone is responsible for determining the suitability of an investment, an investment strategy, or executing a Transaction based on their personal investment objectives, financial situation, and risk tolerance, and the User will bear sole responsibility for any resulting loss or damage, whether partial or total, injury, or liability. The User is encouraged to consult professionals specializing in financial, legal, or tax advice before engaging in Transactions involving Digital Assets.
5. Conflicts of Interest
In accordance with these General Terms of Use (CGU) and applicable regulations, we inform you that VANCELIAN LTD, which participates in providing the Mining Service, is managed by Mr. Xavier Gomez, who also serves in the same role at Automata France SAS. Additionally, VANCELIAN LTD is owned by Automata Group Ltd, which is also a shareholder in Automata France SAS.
The shared ties between these entities could give rise to a conflict of interest, which we will strive to mitigate.
In this context, VANCELIAN implements measures to ensure complete transparency for users of the Mining Program Service. These measures include:
- Establishing internal governance mechanisms to ensure objectivity and independence in managing the Mining Program Service;
- Examining any situations that might create a conflict of interest in order to identify corrective measures;
- Informing users of any significant developments that may affect the impartiality of the Mining Program Service.
By subscribing to the Mining Program, the user acknowledges being informed of these elements and agrees to use the Mining Program Service with full knowledge of the situation.
6. References to the Main CGU Provisions
The User is expressly referred to the provisions of Articles 5 and following of the Main CGU, to which they adhere by using the Services, including the Mining Service. For all practical purposes, it is clarified that any reference to “the Company” should be understood as referring to the Companies as defined herein. Similarly, any reference to “CGU” should be understood as “CGUPM.”
As an exception to the provisions of the Main CGU, the User expressly accepts and acknowledges that the Companies’ responsibility within the framework of the Mining Service is distributed as follows: VANCELIAN is responsible for all digital asset services provided under the Mining Program, as well as for maintaining the Platform interface, while VANCELIAN LTD is responsible for the repayment of the Computing Power Price, which remains the property of VANCELIAN LTD from the subscription to the Mining Program and is separate from the assets of VANCELIAN. In other words, if VANCELIAN LTD fails to fulfill its obligation to refund the Computing Power Price, VANCELIAN’s liability cannot, in any case, be invoked by the User—whether directly via the dedicated tab in the Mobile Application or indirectly via the Allocation of Flexible and Future Solution Services as defined in the Main CGU.

However, specific actions may be required from the Users to retrieve these new Digital Assets.
