4. Description of the Exclusive Offers Service
4.1 Overview of the Exclusive Offers Service
The Companies wish to provide Users with an exclusive offers service that allows them to lend BTC to THE HEIGHTS BALI, which will be used to carry out a specific Project (the "Project") as part of the Exclusive Offers Service.
The User will be able to browse the different loan requests available on the Platform and access details about the Project being financed by the loan and THE HEIGHTS BALI, the company managing it (the "Exclusive Offers").
Once an Exclusive Offer is selected, the User can choose the amount of Digital Assets or Fiat Currency they wish to allocate to the Project ("Locked Assets"), which will remain locked until the end of the Lock-up Period as specified on the Platform. The User retains ownership of the Locked Assets during this Lock-up Period.
By agreeing to lock their Assets, the User expressly authorizes VANCELIAN, in its capacity as a digital asset service provider, to execute the following actions at the end of the Lock-up Period, in their name and on their behalf:
- Exchange the Locked Assets into BTC, if necessary, and then
- Transfer the newly converted BTC to THE HEIGHTS BALI.
After the execution of these two operations by VANCELIAN, the User will have officially subscribed to the loan requested by THE HEIGHTS BALI (the "Loan").
The loan amount, even though held in BTC, will be denominated in Euros ("Loan Amount").
Within the framework of the Exclusive Offers Service, VANCELIAN acts as a facilitator, enabling Users to subscribe to the Loan proposed by THE HEIGHTS BALI.
The Loan Duration ("Duration") will be specified in the Platform's dedicated interface.
The User acknowledges and accepts that they cannot unilaterally withdraw from their participation in the Loan before the end of the Duration, except in accordance with the Exit Mechanism described below.
Throughout the Duration, the User participating in the Exclusive Offers Service will have access to their User Account, which contains a Digital Wallet where monthly interest earnings in Digital Assets from the Loan will be deposited. These earnings can be withdrawn at any time, and their storage is ensured by VANCELIAN (the "Interest"). The fixed interest rate applicable to the Loan will be displayed on the Platform and accessible via the User Account.
Subject to compliance with the Queue Mechanism (as described below), the User has the ability to terminate their participation in an Exclusive Offer early.
Operation of Exit Windows and the Queue Mechanism. Early exits are subject to compliance with the Exit Windows and the Queue Mechanism. 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 have subscribed to an Exclusive Offer to request the reassignment of their loan subscription, providing a liquidity opportunity for Users who wish to end their participation in the Exclusive Offers Service early.
General Principle. Any exit from an Exclusive Offer is subject to compliance with a Queue Mechanism. Under this mechanism, an exit will only be authorized if there is a simultaneous new liquidity entry from another User into the same Exclusive Offer being exited. In other words, an exit is only possible if another User joins the said Exclusive Offer by paying the Loan Amount.
Processing of Exit Requests. Exit requests from an Exclusive Offer are processed on a "first-come, first-served" basis. Users wishing to exit an Exclusive Offer must submit a request for the reassignment of all or part of their loan subscription to the Companies. Each request is placed in a queue in the order of receipt. The User who submitted the first exit request will be served first, provided that a new incoming investor joins at the same time.
Partial or Complete Reassignment. In the event that an incoming User only takes over a portion of the amount proposed by an exiting User, only the reassigned portion will be processed. The remaining part of the contract will remain in the Queue, awaiting a new assignee during the next exit window.
Queue Management. The management of the Queue is automated and handled by the Companies' technological infrastructure. Reassignments are carried out in strict accordance with the priority order of exit requests. Each transaction, whether a partial or complete reassignment, is recorded in real time to ensure transparency and the integrity of the process.
Obligations of the Parties. The User acknowledges and accepts that any exit request from an Exclusive Offer is subject to these conditions and that the reassignment of the subscription to an Exclusive Offer depends on the availability of new incoming investors during the exit windows. The Companies do not guarantee liquidity outside of these specific periods or beyond compliance with the Queue Mechanism. The Companies are not responsible for any malfunction or failure of the Queue. Furthermore, the Companies do not guarantee that an Exclusive Offer will attract a sufficient number of new Users and therefore do not guarantee that the Queue Mechanism will generate the expected liquidity for existing subscribers wishing to exit an Exclusive Offer early before the end of its Term.
Miscellaneous Provisions Regarding Exclusive Offers. The User acknowledges and accepts that the Exclusive Offers Service involves inherent risks, including but not limited to the volatility of Digital Assets, regulatory changes, and technological developments.
The User expressly agrees that only THE HEIGHTS BALI is responsible for repaying the Loan Amount at the end of the Duration.
All information on the Website is indicative and subject to multiple variables.
The Companies are not liable for losses incurred by the User due to Digital Asset volatility. The User is solely responsible for deciding to participate in an Exclusive Offer.
The Companies reserve the right to suspend or terminate an Exclusive Offer or the Exclusive Offers Service as a whole due to legal, technological, or technical reasons.
Applicable fees for the Exclusive Offers Service can be found on the Platform at: https://vancelian.com/memberships.
Loyalty Points may be granted at the Companies’ sole discretion to Users who subscribe to the Exclusive Offers Service. The details of these Loyalty Points will be visible in the Mobile Application's dedicated section.
4.2 General Provisions Applicable to the Custody Service
In accordance with Articles 721-1-3 and 722-4 of the AMF General Regulation (RG AMF), VANCELIAN states that prior to providing the Digital Asset Custody Service, and upon the User's acceptance and signature of these CGUOE, it has informed and entered into a written agreement with the User, provided in Annex 2, on a durable medium as defined in Article 314-5 of the RG AMF. This agreement outlines the principles of operation of the Digital Asset Custody Service and identifies the rights and obligations of both parties.
4.3 New Exclusive Offers Services
The Companies may expand their range of Exclusive Offers Services by introducing new services on the Mobile Application, whether these services are available to all Users or only through their User Account. These new services will be considered an integral part of the Exclusive Offers Services, as defined in the "Definitions" section of these CGUOE, and will be governed by these CGUOE. Unless stated otherwise, Users may start using the new Exclusive Offers Services as soon as they are made available on the Mobile Application, subject to the creation of a User Account, if required.
Users expressly agree to receive communications of any kind from the Companies regarding the new Exclusive Offers Services available on the Mobile Application, either by email or phone.
4.4 Evolution of Exclusive Offers Services
The Companies may, at any time and without prior notice, develop, improve, or modify the Platform and the Exclusive Offers Services, as well as other Exclusive Offers Services, in order to enhance Mobile Application functionalities or the Exclusive Offers Services themselves. This may include the deployment of updates, new versions, additional services, or the removal of existing services.
Permanent Discontinuation of an Exclusive Offers Service
If an Exclusive Offers Service is permanently discontinued, the Companies will make reasonable efforts to notify Users in advance and offer alternative solutions (e.g., alternative Transactions, transfers to a third-party service, etc.). If all Exclusive Offers Services are permanently discontinued, the Companies will terminate these CGUOE in accordance with the conditions outlined in the “Termination” section of the CGU Principales.
Additionally, the Companies may, at any time and without prior notice, update or modify the Platform, its content, and the Exclusive Offers Services in response to technological advancements. In such cases, the User must ensure that their computer or mobile device is compatible with these changes.
4.5 Customer Support
The Companies provide technical support with technical aspects and functionalities of the Platform and the Exclusive Offers Services.
The User remains solely responsible for their choices, particularly the decision to use the Exclusive Offers Services. Technical support does not provide financial or strategic advice regarding the use of the Exclusive Offers Services.
The Companies will endeavor to respond to the User's request as promptly and appropriately as possible. However, the Companies do not commit to any specific response time, nor to the relevance or completeness of the response provided, nor to the guarantee that the response will effectively resolve the User's request or provide a suitable solution.
Furthermore, the Companies will not provide any advice regarding the use of the Exclusive Offers Services or, more broadly, the execution of Transactions/operations involving Digital Assets. Any information provided by the Companies should not be interpreted as investment advice, financial advice, strategic advice, business advice, or any other type of advisory service.
Unless otherwise stated in these CGUOE, Transactions are executed solely based on the instructions provided by the User, without the Companies ever verifying their relevance, interest, or quality. Therefore, as a reminder, the User is solely responsible for determining the suitability of an investment, an investment strategy, or the execution of a Transaction based on their personal investment objectives, financial situation, and risk tolerance. The User shall bear full responsibility for any partial or total loss, damage, prejudice, or liability resulting from their decisions. The User is encouraged to consult professionals specialized in financial, legal, or tax advisory services before carrying out any Transaction involving Digital Assets.
5. Conflicts of Interest
In accordance with the provisions of these CGUOE and the applicable regulations, we inform you that THE HEIGHTS BALI SAS, the entity carrying the project financed through this Exclusive Offer, is presided over and owned by Mr. Gaël Itier, who is also the beneficial owner of Automata France SAS (Vancelian). The shared links between these two companies could potentially create a conflict of interest, which we strive to mitigate.
In this context, VANCELIAN has implemented measures to ensure full transparency for Users of the Exclusive Offers Service. These measures include:
- The establishment of internal governance mechanisms to ensure objectivity and independence in the management of the Exclusive Offers Service;
- The review of any situation that may give rise to a conflict of interest, in order to identify the appropriate corrective measures;
- The communication to Users of any significant changes that may impact the impartiality of the Exclusive Offers Service.
By subscribing to an Exclusive Offer, the User acknowledges that they have been informed of these elements and agrees to use the Exclusive Offers Service with full knowledge of the potential conflict.
6. Reference to the Provisions of the Main Terms and Conditions
The User is expressly referred to Articles 5 and subsequent of the Main Terms and Conditions (CGU Principales), to which they adhere by using the Services, including the Exclusive Offers Service. For all intents and purposes, it is specified that any reference to "the Company" shall be understood as referring to the Companies, as defined herein. Similarly, any reference to "CGU" shall be understood as "CGUOE".
By exception to the provisions of the Main Terms and Conditions, the User expressly agrees and acknowledges that the responsibility of the Companies within the framework of the Exclusive Offers Service is divided as follows: VANCELIAN is responsible for all digital asset services provided under the Exclusive Offers Service, as well as the maintenance of the Platform's interface. THE HEIGHTS BALI is responsible for interest payments and the repayment of the Loan Amount, which it retains from the moment of subscription to the Loan via an Exclusive Offer and which remains separate from VANCELIAN’s assets. In other words, in the event that THE HEIGHTS BALI fails to meet its obligation to pay Interest or repay the Loan Amount, VANCELIAN shall under no circumstances be held liable by the User, regardless of the method of subscription to the Exclusive Offers Service, whether: Directly via the dedicated tab in the Mobile Application, or Indirectly via the Allocation of Services of Flexible and Future Solution, as defined in the Main Terms and Conditions.
