selling Digital Assets or AKTIO Coins Price is paid to the User by the relevant Company and Digital Assets or AKTIO Coins are delivered to the relevant Company;

Provisions applicable to Users who subscribed to the Staking Service prior to October 21, 2024, and are still benefiting from it on that date. Until October 21, 2024, the User could choose to Stake an amount of AKTIO Tokens they owned, for a Selected Staking Period. The amount of Staked AKTIO Tokens was not subject to a maximum limit. However, the User had to Stake a minimum amount to be eligible for the Staking program.

Users who Staked their AKTIO Tokens according to the required parameters at any given time (as decided by the Company at its sole discretion) and as displayed in the corresponding section of the Mobile Application and/or the Website, received daily rewards, added to their Staked amount.

The User understood and agreed that “unstaking” was prohibited. Users understood and agreed that the Staked AKTIO Tokens (including rewards generated by Staking) had to remain in the User’s Digital Wallet and were locked for the Selected Staking Period. Therefore, you understood and agreed that you were not able to place orders or withdraw them during the Selected Staking Period.

If you chose to Stake, the Company was not liable to you for any loss incurred or unrealized gain resulting from the operational unavailability of the Staked AKTIO Tokens.

After October 21, 2024, Users can no longer subscribe to the Staking Service as described above. Previously Staked AKTIO Tokens will remain Staked until the end of the Selected Staking Period.

In addition to the rewards generated by the Staking program as described above, Users benefiting from the Staking Service after October 21, 2024, will be awarded Loyalty Points based on the volume of AKTIO Tokens Staked in their Digital Wallet. The number of Loyalty Points awarded based on the number of Staked AKTIO Tokens will appear on each User’s Loyalty Points balance page. The number of Loyalty Points allocated to the User will evolve according to the volume of AKTIO Tokens Staked.

4.2.4 Locking Wallet Service

Each User can decide to lock the AKTIO Tokens they hold in their User Digital Wallet, provided that these tokens are not Staked, in order to be allocated Loyalty Points (the “Locking Wallet” Service). The User has the choice between two different locking durations: three (3) months or twelve (12) months, which grant different amounts of Loyalty Points.

Once the selected locking duration and the number of AKTIO Tokens to lock are validated by the User, they will have access to their locking wallet corresponding to a given locking duration. In other words, a User wishing to lock half of the AKTIO Tokens they hold for a duration of three (3) months and the other half for a duration of twelve (12) months will see two locking wallets appear in the Mobile Application.

The number of Loyalty Points allocated to the User will vary based on the volume of AKTIO Tokens in their locking wallet.

The User acknowledges that only the investment compartments effectively held in their Future Solution can generate interest.

The fees applicable to the Future Solution Service are available on the Platform in the following section: https://vancelian.com/memberships.

4.2.8 Diversified Crypto Portfolio

a. Multi-Digital Assets Service

On the Mobile Application, the User may use the multi–Digital Assets purchase and hold service (“Multi-Digital Assets Service”), which allows the User to purchase and hold Digital Assets over time according to an allocation suggested by the Company (“Allocation”).

The User shall have access on the dedicated tab on the Mobile Application to the floor amount required by the Company to use the Multi-Digital Assets Service.

By clicking on “Deposit” or “Withdraw” on the dedicated tab, Users are giving orders to the Company to:

use any of the Digital Assets, AKTIO Coins and/or Fiat Currencies custodied within the User Wallet and/or Master Wallet and/or held in the Customer IBAN Account and/or Automata IBAN account in order to carry out the Multi-Digital Assets Transactions by virtue of these GTC;
proceed to multiple purchases and/or exchanges on several Digital Assets pursuant to the Allocation, visible on the Mobile Application.

Such Allocation - which is standard and applies to all Users using this Service - may be adjusted by the Company at their sole discretion. Automatic rebalancing is implemented by the Company to maintain the target Allocation, according to the rebalancing frequency selected by the Company (ie. daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.).

The Fees applicable to the Multi-Digital Assets Service are available on the Platform via the following section: https://vancelian.com/memberships/.

As part of this Service, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to complete the Transactions requested by the User within a reasonable time. Under no circumstances may these Transactions be carried out instantaneously.

When the User chooses to use this Service by clicking on the "Deposit" button, a waiting message for the deposit will be displayed on the Mobile Application screen.

Once the Transactions have been completed, the target allocation will have been achieved and the effective allocation shall be visible on the Mobile Application screen.

A track record of all Transactions (deposits and withdrawals) carried out under the Multi-Digital Assets Service is available to the User on a dedicated section.

The withdrawal in Digital Assets, AKTIO Coins and/or Fiat Currencies by the User from the Multi-Digital Assets Service may be made through the “Withdraw” button. For technical reasons, the User is informed and expressly acknowledges that by the present GTC he/she may not be able to immediately withdraw all assets from the Multi-Digital Assets Service simultaneously. Depending on the amount of the deposit, the User will be able to check on the Mobile Application the amount that may be withdrawn. The User's withdrawal capacity shall be updated according to the Transactions/withdrawals carried out.

In any case, the attention is drawn to the fact that the Multi-Digital Assets Service is likely to involve a risk of loss (partial or total) of the Digital Assets or Fiat transferred on instruction of the Users.

The responsibility of the Company is limited to the good execution of the transfer instructions within the framework of the service of reception-transmission of orders on Digital Assets.

The Company shall not be deemed bound by an obligation of result as to the performance of the Allocation under the Multi-Digital Assets Service and may under no circumstances be held liable for any losses incurred due to the selection or update of the Digital Assets by the Company within the framework of the Allocation.

b. Capital Preservation

At any time when using the Multi-Digital Assets Service, the User may elect to define his/her risk appetite and investment goals by activating the capital preservation feature through the dedicated button on the Mobile Application (the “Capital Preservation”) that aims at reducing the User’s exposure to market fluctuation by adjusting the Allocation towards Stablecoins which should provide stability during market downturns.

When activating the Capital Preservation feature, each User shall choose among five (5) risk profiles (the “Investor Styles”) corresponding to the percentage of the Allocation that shall be allocated towards Stablecoins and thus be more preserved.

Once the User chooses an Investor Style, the Capital Preservation feature shall be activated within a few hours, and at most within twenty-four (24) hours. Once the Capital Preservation feature is activated, the dedicated button will be highlighted on the Multi-Digital Assets Service tab of the Mobile Application.

At any time, the User may change the elected Investor Style, resulting in a change in the Allocation.

At any time, the User may deactivate the Capital Preservation feature, resulting in a change in the Allocation. Concretely, the deactivation of the Capital Preservation feature by the User shall result in none of the Allocation being directed towards Stablecoins.

Both the activation and deactivation of the Capital Preservation feature, as well as the modification of the elected Investor Style, are subject to Fees that are available on the Platform via the following section: https://vancelian.com/memberships/.

However, in case the User (i) decides to deactivate the Capital Preservation feature before it is effectively activated by the Company or (ii) cancels its change of Investor Style by selecting back the previous Investor Style before it is effectively activated by the Company, no Fees shall be applied.

The User acknowledges and accepts that even with the Capital Preservation feature activated, the Multi-Digital Assets Service is likely to involve a risk of loss (partial or total) of the Digital Assets or Fiat transferred on instruction of the Users, including the amount allocated towards Stablecoins.

The responsibility of the Company is limited to the good execution of the percentage of the Allocation to be directed towards Stablecoin according to the elected Investor Style.

The Company shall not be deemed bound by an obligation of result as to the value of the Stablecoins and may under no circumstances be held liable for any losses incurred due to the evolution of the value of the Stablecoins.

h. Stolen or lost PaymentCard

If a User loses his/her PaymentCard, or if a PaymentCard was stolen the Company highly recommends to instantly block the PaymentCard on the Platform relevant tab.

If you lose your PaymentCard or it is stolen, or you suspect that someone else has found out your PIN or security information or accessed your User Account without your permission, you must tell us without undue delay by calling us or logging onto your User Account through the Mobile Application and notifying us.

Your PaymentCard will be cancelled immediately and your User Account may be blocked temporarily.

4.2.10 Mining Program

The Company has established partnerships with third-party entities to offer a blockchain solution service (referred to as the "Mining Program") on the Mobile Application, as well as through the Solution Services. This program utilizes Bitcoin mining to enable Users to invest in mining infrastructure and receive rewards from mining activities alongside the Company. The funds deposited in the Mining Program are allocated to the leasing of high-end mining machines, which are hosted in various mining facilities worldwide.

When a User accesses the Mining Program via the Solution Services, as described in sections 4.2.4 and 4.2.5 of these Terms of Use, the funds deposited by the User in the Solution are allocated among various investment compartments, including the Mining Program.

When a User accesses the Mining Program through the dedicated tab on the Mobile Application, all funds deposited by the User are allocated entirely to the Mining Program.

The Mining Program may involve different Digital Assets.

For information purposes, Bitcoin mining is a process that involves creating new Bitcoins by using computers to solve mathematical problems through a process known as proof of work ("PoW"). This process requires significant computational power and electricity consumption.

The Mining Program allows Users to earn daily rewards, particularly through Bitcoin mining, via a mechanism known as "cloud mining." Cloud mining enables Users to pool their capital to purchase mining power from mining facilities (the "Price of Computational Power"), allowing them to earn Digital Asset rewards on their investment.

Provisions applicable to Users who paid the Price of Computational Power before September 24, 2024: By subscribing to the Mining Program, the User agrees to be committed to the Mining Program for a duration of twenty-four (24) months (the "Term").

The User of the Mining Program will have access to two distinct Digital Wallets on their User Account: (i) the first Digital Wallet is used for the payment of the Price of Computational Power, which will remain with the Company (in EURC tokens, as defined above) for the entire Term of the Mining Program, and (ii) the second Digital Wallet is intended to hold the daily rewards in Digital Assets (in EURC tokens, as defined above) derived from the Mining Program, which can be withdrawn by the User at any time.

The User acknowledges and agrees that they cannot unilaterally terminate their participation in the Mining Program before the end of the Term.

Provisions applicable to Users who paid the Price of Computational Power between September 24, 2024, and December 31, 2024: By subscribing to the Mining Program, the User agrees to be committed to the Mining Program for a duration of forty-eight (48) months (the "Term"). Subscription to the Mining Program is available starting from a minimum amount of one (1) euro.

The User acknowledges and agrees that they cannot unilaterally terminate their participation in the Mining Program before the end of the Term, notwithstanding the exit provisions of the Mining Program outlined below. The release date of the funds is set for the first day of the month following the expiration of the forty-eight (48) month period from the date of the initial deposit.

Provisions applicable to Users who subscribed to the Mining Program after December 31, 2024: After December 31, 2024, the present Mining Program is only accessible through a subscription renewal via the Queue Mechanism (as defined below). In this case, Users entering the Mining Program in this way expressly agree to be committed until December 31, 2028, while retaining the same exit provisions of the Mining Program outlined below.

Exit Provisions of the Mining Program: Subject to the conditions outlined below, the User may terminate their participation in the Mining Program early, either without fee at least twenty-four (24) months after the payment of the Price of Computational Power, or subject to the payment of an Early Exit Fee no earlier than six (6) months after the payment of the Price of Computational Power.

Therefore, any exit from the Mining Program before the end of the Term (or before December 31, 2028) shall occur under the following conditions:

Less than six (6) months following the initial payment of the Price of Computational Power: the User cannot terminate their participation in the Mining Program.
Between six (6) months and twenty-four (24) months following the initial payment of the Price of Computational Power: the User may request an early exit from the Mining Program subject to (i) the payment of a fee of 5% of the total amount of the Price of Computational Power requested for refund (the "Early Exit Fee") and (ii) compliance with the Queue Mechanism (as described below).
Between twenty-four (24) months and forty-eight (48) months following the initial payment of the Price of Computational Power, or until December 31, 2028: the User may request an early exit from the Mining Program without fees, subject to compliance with the Queue Mechanism (as described below).

Functioning of Exit Windows and the Queue Mechanism
Early exits are subject to the Exit Windows and the Queue Mechanism. Exit Windows are specific periods, opened for two (2) weeks each year, once in May and once in November, at the sole discretion of the Company. They allow Users who have subscribed to the Mining Program to request the redemption of their subscription, offering an opportunity for liquidity to Users wishing to terminate their participation in the Mining Program early.

General Principle
Any exit from the Mining Program is subject to the Queue Mechanism. In accordance with this mechanism, the exit will only be authorized insofar as a new liquidity entry by another User into the Mining Program occurs simultaneously, meaning another User enters the Mining Program by proceeding with the payment of the Computing Power Price.

Processing of Exit Requests
Exit requests from the Mining Program are processed on a "first come, first served" basis. Users wishing to exit the Mining Program must submit a request for the redemption of all or part of their subscription to the Mining Program to the Company. Each request is placed in a queue based on the order of receipt. The User who submitted the first exit request will be prioritized, subject to the concomitant arrival of a new entering investor.

Partial or Full Redemption
In the event that an entering User redeems only part of the amount proposed by an exiting User, only the portion redeemed will be processed. The remaining part of the contract will remain in the Queue, awaiting a new redeemer during the next Exit Window.

Queue Management
The management of the Queue is automated and handled by the Company’s technological infrastructure. Redemptions are thus processed in strict compliance with the priority order of exit requests. Each transaction, whether partial or full, is recorded in real-time to ensure the transparency and integrity of the process.

Obligations of the Parties
The User acknowledges and agrees that any exit request from the Mining Program is subject to these terms, and that the redemption of the subscription to the Mining Program depends on the availability of new incoming investors during the Exit Windows. The Company does not guarantee the liquidity of Digital Assets outside of these specific periods and the compliance with the Queue Mechanism. The Company is not liable for any malfunction or failure of the Queue.

Provisions Common to All Users Subscribed to 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 Company undertakes to reimburse the Computing Power Price at the end of the Mining Program. However, the User acknowledges that the Mining Program does not guarantee Digital Asset rewards or potential future gains. Mining rewards will depend on the market conditions applicable under the Mining Program and are in no way guaranteed to the User.

All information presented on the Website is only estimates and depends on many factors.

Please note that the rate applicable to the Mining Program may vary throughout its Duration.

The Company is not liable for any losses suffered by the User due to the volatility of Digital Assets. The User is solely responsible for their decision to participate in the Mining Program.

To ensure the provision of the Mining Program at a reasonable level, the Company will make reasonable efforts to maintain all necessary facilities in good working order, with the same level of diligence applied to its own operations.

The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Mining Program for legal, technological, or technical reasons.

The fees applicable to the Mining Program Service are available on the Platform in the following section: https://vancelian.com/memberships.

Loyalty Points may be awarded to Users who have subscribed to the Mining Program Service at the sole discretion of the Company. The details of these Loyalty Points will be visible in the dedicated tab of the Mobile Application.

4.2.11 Crypto Deposits

The User may deposit Digital Assets directly on the Mobile Application from other crypto-related platforms using the infrastructure of a third party (referred to as the “Crypto Deposit”). The User will only be allowed to make Crypto Deposits in USDC via ERC20 standard and Ethereum blockchain.

The User will be enabled to make a Crypto Deposit by clicking on the dedicated button “Deposit USDC” or “Make a deposit”.

When first trying to make a Crypto Deposit, the User will have to create a USDC wallet address on the Platform (referred to as the “Deposit Address”) in order to wire USDC from his/her external wallet.

The User is solely responsible for any errors or omissions in the process of his Crypto Deposit, and the Company shall not be held liable for any damages resulting from such errors or omissions by the User.

If the User makes an error or an omission during the process of his Crypto Deposit, the Company may, at their sole discretion, reimburse the amount of said Crypto Deposit after deducting the expenses incurred for processing such error or omission on a case-by-case basis by human agents. The User acknowledges that s/he has no inherent right to be reimbursed for an erroneous Crypto Deposit and that s/he shall not contest the fees the Company may apply to any reimbursement.

Loyalty Points may be awarded to Users upon their first Deposit of Digital Assets, unless the User has already made a Deposit of AKTIO Tokens.

4.2.12 Deposit of AKTIO Tokens

The User can deposit AKTIO Tokens directly on the Mobile Application (the "AKTIO Token Deposit").

The User can make an AKTIO Token Deposit by clicking on the dedicated "Make a Deposit" button and selecting "AKTIO" as the deposit currency. To complete their AKTIO Token Deposit, the User must follow the detailed process on the Mobile Application.

The User is solely responsible for any errors or omissions in the process of their AKTIO Token Deposit, and the Company cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from such errors or omissions by the User.

If the User makes an error or omission in the process of their AKTIO Token Deposit, the Company may, at its sole discretion, refund the amount of the said AKTIO Token Deposit after deducting the fees incurred for processing this error or omission on a case-by-case basis by human agents. The User acknowledges that they have no inherent right to be refunded for an erroneous AKTIO Token Deposit and that they will not dispute the fees that the Company may apply to any refund.

The User will be enabled to make a Crypto Withdraw by clicking on the dedicated button “Withdraw USDC” or “Send”.

When first trying to make a Crypto Withdraw, the User will have to use a USDC ERC20 wallet address on the Platform (referred to as the “Wallet Destination Address”) in order to wire USDC to his/her external wallet.

The User will then have the possibility to paste his/her Wallet Destination Address or to scan a QR Code of his/her Wallet Destination Address.

The User is solely responsible for any errors or omissions in the process of his Crypto Withdraw, and the Company shall not be held liable for any damages resulting from such errors or omissions by the User.

Users acknowledge and accept that Crypto Withdraw include fee for each transaction, with a minimum amount which is explained on the page "How it works" of the app, blockchain fees included. To prevent excessive costs, the Company will cancel any transaction in which the blockchain-related fees could exceed the initial estimate.

4.2.14 Pay With Crypto

The User may pay goods with Digital Assets using the dedicated section of the Platform and following the steps below (referred to as the “Pay With Crypto Services”).

First, the User submits a loan request on the Platform to borrow EURC coins (referred to as the “Loan”), pledging some other Digital Assets (e.g. AKTIO Coin, ETH, etc.) as collateral (referred to as the “Collateral”). In addition to using Digital Assets they own, Users can elect to pledge as Collateral (x) the Digital Assets located in their Wallet intended to hold the rewards derived from the Mining Program. Users who select this Solution option to use the Pay With Crypto Services can use up to a hundred percent (100%) of the amount located in their Pay With Crypto Solutions as Collateral.

As a consequence of this Collateral, the Company lends EURC coins to the User from its own account and the EURC coins become the property of the User but the Company remains in charge of their Custody. The Collateral is held by the Company as security during the Loan period.

As part of this Loan, the Company sells the EURC coins for euros from its own funds. As a consequence, the User holds euros, securely held by Modulr, which are specifically reserved for the purpose of the payment.

The User may then use the euros to make a payment to buy goods or services from a merchant listed in the dedicated section of the Platform. The euros held by Modulr are thus debited for the said payment.

As a consequence of the payment, the Company converts the Collateral into EURC coins up to the payment amount made to the merchant by the User, in order to get a reimbursement of the Loan.

If the User uses the entire Loan, the Company will convert the entire Collateral into EURC coins as repayment of the Loan.

On the other hand, if the User does not use the entire Loan, the User will repay the remaining amount of the Loan to the Company and the Company will unlock the remaining amount of the Collateral.

Within this Service, the minimum amount of the Loan is fifty (50) euros and the maximum amount of the Loans is:

one hundred (100) euros for Bronze Users,
one thousand (1,000) euros for Silver Users,
two thousand (2,000) euros for Gold Users,
three thousand and five hundred (3,500) euros for Platinium Users, and
five thousand (5,000) euros for Elite Users.

User acknowledge his feature limitation:

80% of the maximum wallet by using Pay with Crypto
100% of the maximum wallet the wallet by using Pay with Solution

In any case, Users have to comply with a daily maximum of ten thousand (10,000) euros, a maximum of thirty thousand (30,000) euros over a period of 31 rolling days, and an one hundred thousand (100,000) euros over a period of 365 rolling days.

4.2.15 Credit Card Deposits in Euros

The User may deposit euros on the Mobile Application using the infrastructure of Stripe (the “Credit Card Deposit Service”). By using the service of Stripe, You agree to the terms and conditions and any other relevant policies applicable to Your use of the services offered by Stripe.

In order to proceed with a Credi Card Deposit, the User must enter the amount he wishes to deposit on the dedicated section of the Mobile Application. Upon confirmation, the User will have to enter his credit card information and validate the Transaction.

Once these verifications are validated, the User Credit Card Deposit will appear as final and the amount deposited will appear on the dedicated section of the Mobile Application. In other words, the Credit Card Deposit is subject to confirmation and approval by the Company after compliance verifications are completed. Until the Credit Card Deposit is validated by the Company, no other Credit Card Deposit can be processed.

Credit Card Deposits are subject to minimum and maximum amounts in accordance with the Loyalty Status category of the User as described in the following section https://www.vancelian.com/memberships/.

Estimated fees associated with Credit Card Deposits are displayed when the User first enters the amount he wishes to deposit. Final fees are displayed when the User enters his payment information and confirms his intention to proceed with the Credit Card Deposit.

In accordance with Stripe’s internal policy, the Credit Card Deposit Service is not available to Users from certain countries. Users from restricted countries will be automatically prevented from accessing and utilizing the Credit Card Deposit Service. The list of countries that trigger the exclusion from the Credit Card Deposit Service may change from time to time according to Stripe’s internal policy upon which the Company have no control nor responsibility. The Company disclaim any liability for any inconvenience, loss, or damages arising from such restrictions and recommend that affected Users seek alternative methods for deposit.

Loyalty Points may be awarded to Users upon their first Credit Card Deposit.

This support is accessible by chatbot on the Platform, 7 days a week and 24 hours a day (telephone assistance is only available from Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm UTC and the Saturday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, closed on Sunday). The Company will make every effort to answer the User’s request as soon as possible and appropriately. However, the Company make no commitment regarding any response time, nor to the relevance or exhaustiveness of the content of the answer, nor to the fact that the supplied answer will serve to effectively resolve the User’s request or provide a solution.

Furthermore, the Company do not provide any advice regarding the use of the Services and more broadly the performance of Transactions/operations involving Digital Assets. No information provided by the Company should be construed as investment advice, financial advice, strategic advice, business advice, or any other type of advice.

Unless indicated otherwise in these GTC, the Transactions are performed only on the basis of the instructions communicated by the User, without the Company ever verifying the relevance, interest or quality thereof. Thus, as a reminder, the User is solely responsible for determining whether an investment, an investment strategy or the execution of a Transaction is appropriate according to his/her personal investment objectives, financial situation and risk tolerance, and the User will be solely liable for any resulting partial or total loss or damage, harm or liability. The User is invited to consult professionals specialising in financial, legal or tax advice before performing a Transaction involving Digital Assets.

4.7 Contact management - Mobile Application

By accepting these GCU, the status of "visible" User on the Mobile Application, and the privacy policy available on the Site, the User agrees that the Company are entitled to access the list of telephone contacts in order to facilitate interaction with other Users of the Platform.

However, if you choose to display yourself as "invisible", your status will be updated to indicate that you have not yet installed the Mobile Application.

This feature allows you to display on the Mobile Application a list of your contacts who are already using the Platform, as well as those who have not yet installed it.

Mobile Application already installed. In this case, the Services offered by the Platform can be used by the User between themselves within the limits of the operations available on the interface.
Mobile Application to be downloaded. In this case, the User may send an invitation to download the Mobile Application and become an Affiliate (as this programme is defined in article 4.9 of these GCU). Please note that this action is subject to acceptance of the invitation by the contact concerned.

4.8 Loyalty Program

The Company allows its Users to benefit from a Loyalty Status – bronze, silver, gold, platinum, or elite – based on the number of Loyalty Points acquired, through which they can enjoy certain benefits (the "Loyalty Program").

The benefits associated with each Loyalty Status, which may be modified by the Company at its sole discretion, can be viewed in the dedicated section (https://vancelian.com/memberships).

At any time, each User can view their Loyalty Status, Loyalty Points balance, and the number of Loyalty Points required to reach the next Loyalty Status on their profile page in the Mobile Application.

Each User can also check the different actions that allow them to earn or lose Loyalty Points in the dedicated section. This evolving list will account for actions already taken by the User and will no longer display them.

When validating certain Transactions, a notice may appear in the Mobile Application interface to indicate to the User how to earn Loyalty Points by performing an action on the page they are on.

Each User can view the history of actions they have taken that have earned them Loyalty Points.

Each User can at any time compare the benefits granted by each Loyalty Status (https://vancelian.com/memberships).

Users who have acquired an "ambassador" status, as it existed before the implementation of the Loyalty Program, will automatically be granted a number of Loyalty Points that will appear in the dedicated area of their User Account. The conversion of their previous ambassador status into Loyalty Points cannot give rise to any claims from the Users.

The Company reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of the Loyalty Program at any time and at its sole discretion.

The Company is not responsible for any damages or losses resulting from the Loyalty Program, including but not limited to the number of Loyalty Points received by Users, the interruption of the Loyalty Program, or the termination of the Loyalty Program.

The Loyalty Program implies acceptance and compliance with these Terms of Use, including the provisions of articles 5.6 and 5.7 of the Terms of Use. Failure to comply with these provisions by the User within the framework of the Services, particularly in the event of non-compliance, may result in the Loyalty Points possibly awarded to the User being retained by the Company.

4.9 Referral Program

The Company has established a referral program (the "Referral Program") to reward Users for their ongoing engagement and transactions on the Mobile Application.

A detailed description of this program, as well as any updates, may be sent to Users via email.

The Company reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of the Referral Program at any time and at its sole discretion.

Enrollment in the program and participation are on a voluntary basis and subject to the following conditions:

Each referrer (the "Referrer") must refer a new User (the "New User") through the Mobile Application who has not yet registered in the Mobile Application.
All Users and New Users who have completed the verification process in the Mobile Application are eligible to participate in the Referral Program.
When the New User has completed their verification process and made their first deposit, their Referrer will receive Loyalty Points.
The Referrer will also receive a bonus (the "Bonus") when their New User uses the Services available on the Mobile Application, as mentioned in articles 4.2.2 to 4.2.12 above.
The Bonus will be paid in EURC tokens (as mentioned in article 4.2.4) to the Referrer and will be calculated as follows:
- 1% of the Fees paid by the New User if the referrer has a bronze Loyalty Status;
- 3% of the Fees paid by the New User if the referrer has a silver Loyalty Status;
- 8% of the Fees paid by the New User if the referrer has a gold Loyalty Status;
- 10% of the Fees paid by the New User if the referrer has a platinum Loyalty Status; and
- 15% of the Fees paid by the New User if the referrer has an elite Loyalty Status.

The Referrer acknowledges and accepts that the Bonus will be paid in EURC Tokens (as mentioned in article 4.2.4), even though the fees are initially deducted in the currency of the New User's Transaction. Therefore, a rate difference may occur between the time the New User makes the Transaction and generates a Bonus, and the time the Bonus is sent to the Referrer.

The activation of the Bonus payment is subject to a threshold defined by the Company at its sole discretion. If the threshold is reached, the Referrer will receive the Bonus on a daily basis (as a total amount covering all Transactions of the New User). Otherwise, the Bonus will be activated once every seven (7) days, regardless of the minimum threshold.

The Referrer has access to their Bonus in their User Account, in the dedicated tab of the Mobile Application. This bonus will be sent directly to a dedicated wallet titled "Referrer's Income." The Referrer has the option to withdraw the Bonus at any time.

A Digital Wallet for the Referrer's income is automatically generated when the first Bonus payment is made to the Referrer.

The Referrer can refer multiple New Users. They will receive Loyalty Points upon the first deposit of each referred New User; however, if none of them make a Transaction, the Referrer will not receive a Bonus.

To avoid any abuse or pyramid scheme, the Company does not allow a Referrer to inherit any potential Bonuses from New Users referred by the New Users they themselves refer.

The Company is not responsible for any damages or losses resulting from the Referral Program, including but not limited to the amount of EURC Tokens and the number of Loyalty Points received by Users, the interruption of the Referral Program, or the termination of the Referral Program.

The Referral Program implies acceptance and compliance with these Terms of Use, including the provisions of articles 5.6 and 5.7 of the Terms of Use. Failure to comply with these provisions by the User within the framework of the Services, particularly in the event of non-compliance, may result in the Bonuses and Loyalty Points possibly awarded to the User being retained by the Company.

5. Terms of use of the Platform and Services

5.1 Access to the Platform and Services

It is the responsibility of each User to ensure that this content meets his or her needs.

Therefore, the Platform’s contents should not be considered as authoritative, nor as a substitute for the User's personal judgement, and should not constitute the sole basis for any decision by the User.

If the User notices the presence of inaccurate content or content likely to infringe the rights of a third party or to violate a regulatory or legislative provision, s/he is invited to report it by e-mail to support@vancelian.com.

5.3 Link

The Users cannot establish a link (including redirections) towards the Platform without the express and prior authorisation of the Company. Such a request must be sent by e-mail support@vancelian.com. In no case will this authorisation be considered as an implicit affiliation agreement. In any case, the links referring to the Platform will have to be withdrawn at the first request of the Company.

The Company reserve the possibility to place links on its Platform giving access to sites, web pages or applications other than those of the Platform, as well as to redirect the User towards other sites, web pages or applications. The Users are formally informed that the sites, web pages or applications accessible by them via these links do not belong to the Company, which also reserves the right to delete the aforesaid links proposed by its Platform towards an application or a third site if the latter notably became contrary to the regulations in force or to its values. The Company shall not be liable for any access by the Users via the links set up on the Platform and leading to third party sites or other resources present on the Internet, nor for the contents of the information supplied by these third-party sites or other resources subsequent to the activation of the aforesaid links.

5.4 Availability of the Platform and Services

The Company endeavour to provide a quality service and to enable the User to use the Platform and the Services under the best possible conditions. As such, the Platform and Services are in principle available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. However, the Company have no obligation of result in this regard but only an obligation of means, and does not guarantee the availability, optimal operation or speed of the Platform nor of the Services, nor their permanent and continuous accessibility.

The User is informed and accepts that access to the Platform and/or Services may be delayed, altered, prevented or interrupted, notably due to (without limitation):

technical hazards inherent to the Internet, including but not limited to bandwidth fluctuations and hazards of the Company’ internet service provider, a Partner and/or a hosting company;
a case of force majeure;
use by the User of the Platform or the Services that does not comply with the GTC or with the details and indications that may appear on the Platform;
unavailability or a hazard concerning access to the telephone network or to the internet network or to any other network (telephone network, telecommunication or electronic communication network,...) by the Company, a Partner or by the User;
an impossibility to access or difficulties encountered in accessing data hosted by third parties (including Partners) for reasons not attributable to the Company;
a problem or a difficulty, notably technical, related to the operation of a Blockchain;
unavailability or failure of access to phone systems, applications, websites or marketplace platforms or Partners or others to which the Company and/or its Partners have recourse for the provision of the Services;
the unavailability or loss by the User of her/his Identifiers needed to access her/his User Account;
an illicit, malicious or unfortunate act (including acts resulting from the action of "cybercriminals" or "hackers", logical or other attacks such as phone viruses, malicious programs,...), having as its object or effect an attack on the phone systems, applications, websites or platforms of the User, of the Company, of the Partners of the latter or even of the Exchange Platforms that the Company may use for the provision of the Services;
an exceptional situation justifying the temporary suspension of withdrawals, access to Services or access to the Platform (e.g. a strong decline of Digital Assets prices, a war affecting the markets, etc.)

Furthermore, the Company reserve the right to close access to all or part of the Platform and/or to suspend the execution or supply of all or part of the Services in case of the occurrence of one of the above circumstances or in case of endangerment of or threats to its human resources (e.g. members of its staff) or on its technical resources of any kind.

For the programmed maintenance operations, the Company will make every effort to provide the User with advance notice. However, the Platform may, without prior notice or compensation, be temporarily closed, and access to the Platform or Services or the features of the Platform or Services may be limited, notably to perform technical or operational interventions or other types of interventions necessary for their proper functioning (e.g. testing, maintenance, control, resolution of possible breakdowns, operational modifications or changes, upgrades, etc.), for an update, for the roll out of a new version or for any other operation deemed necessary by the Company or its Partners, which the User accepts.

The Company shall not be liable for any failure or interruption of the Platform and/or the Services due to one of the cases indicated in this article "Availability of the Platform and the Services".

5.5 Technical conditions and preservation of the Platform and Services

The User must be equipped with the appropriate telecommunications means needed to access the Platform, her/his User Account and the Services. The User guarantees that her/his hardware and software used to access the Platform, her/his User Account and the Services, and their use, are in good working order.

The User also undertakes to employ appropriate measures to ensure the security of her/his own equipment and/or data and/or content and/or software from contamination by any viruses, malicious codes or any other harmful technologies or software infections, and to ensure that s/he does not introduce such viruses into the Platform.

The User undertakes not to undermine the proper operation of the Platform or Services and not to commit any act that could jeopardize the computer/phone security of the Platform or the computer/phone system of other users of the Platform (whether Users or not), of the Company or of a Partner of the latter. Notably, the User undertakes not to use devices or software of any kind that would disrupt, interfere with or interrupt the normal operation of the Platform or Services, or that would impose a disproportionate burden (in terms of hosting volume, bandwidth, etc.) on the Platform.

The User also undertakes not to extract, for commercial purposes or not formally authorised purposes, all or part of the information or data present on the Platform, as well as not to use a robot, notably a crawler or spider, a software program, an automated system, a script, a program, a search application or a website retrieval application, or any other means allowing to extract or index all or part of the content of these applications. As such, the practices of crawling, scraping or screen scraping are formally prohibited.

The content of the Platform must not be downloaded, collected, copied, altered, modified, deleted, distributed, transmitted, broadcast, rented, sold, conceded, exploited, in whole or in part and in any manner whatsoever, without the express, prior and written consent of the Company.

The Platform is an automated data processing system. The same applies to the User Accounts. The User is prohibited from accessing or maintaining her/himself, fraudulently, in all or part of the Platform or a User Account that is not her/his own. The User is prohibited from using a method of access other than the interface made available by the Company. If such a method is discovered or if the User inadvertently enters a restricted area (e.g. another User's User Account) without right, the User agrees to inform the Company immediately by e-mail sent to the following address: support@vancelian.com so that it can take any action that it deems necessary.

The Company reserve the right to bring any action or claim necessary to prevent, stop and sanction any infringement to the Platform, to the content of the Platform, to a User Account but also to the Services, including such as legal proceedings, and to do so without prior notice.

The User alone is responsible to the Company, or the Partners of the latter, for damages that can result from access to the Platform, to her/his User Account as well as to the Services, and from their use.

Any violation of the provisions of this article by the User constitutes a serious violation likely to lead to the termination without notice of the GTC to the exclusive detriment of the User and with the latter being permanently banned from accessing and using the Platform and the Services.

5.6 Framework for the use of the Services

At any moment during her/his use of the Platform or Services, the User must act in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations (notably relative to tax and/or social declarations having to be made because of the performance of certain Transactions and for which the User alone bears responsibility), as well as in accordance with the indications, information, communications of the Company such as communicated notably by the means of these GTC or on the Platform or via the User's User Account. For this reason, it is notably specified that the User must perform all steps required for her/his tax obligations (such as for example, but without this precision being exhaustive, any capital gains declaration) and social obligations, and that the Company do not carry out such steps on behalf of the Users.

Furthermore, the User undertakes not to disrupt, negatively affect or prevent the use of the Platform or the Services by any other user (whether or not a User).

It is forbidden for the User to engage in or participate in practices that have the purpose or effect to manipulate the market (such as wash trading, cross trading, spoof trading, front running, sell wall, dark pool, pump-and-dump, etc.) through her/his use of the Platform or Services, whether or not such practices are expressly prohibited by applicable laws and regulations.

The User is also prohibited from using or operating the Platform or Services to engage in or participate in fraud, terrorist financing, money laundering, corruption, circumvention of economic sanctions applicable to the User on the date of the use of Services, tax fraud, or any other breach or violation of relevant criminal, administrative or tax laws in any country of the world, being part of a Ponzi scheme of any kind, using matrix programmes/pyramid programmes/multi-level marketing or other high-risk business detrimental to customers of any kind, unlawful activity in any country of the world; forbidden gambling; intellectual property or proprietary rights infringement, counterfeit or unauthorised goods; using/distributing drugs and drug paraphernalia or substances designed to mimic illegal drugs; producing/distributing adult content and services; using unfair, predatory or deceptive practice via customers or persons or any other risky or illegal transactions (“Compliance Breach”).

Furthermore, any commercial use and/or exploitation of data, notably market data, obtained or accessed or made available through the Platform and/or the Services is prohibited, as is any copying, mining, extraction, etc. of the said data.

The User gives the Company and its Partners full permission to temporarily control the Digital Assets in her/his User Wallet(s) when necessary for the provision of the Services.

5.7 General principles applicable to the Services

5.7.1 General restrictions

The Services are accessible to the User who has a User Account validated by the Company and not having been the object of, or not being subject to, a suspension, sanction, restriction, limitation, termination, closing or suppression procedure.

In addition, the Company reserve the right, for the purposes of deciding whether a Service or a Transaction can be performed by a User, to ask the User for specific additional information and/or documents.

Moreover, the Company reserve the right, immediately and without notice and without this creating any right to compensation for the User, (i) to refuse the execution of a Service or of a Transaction requested by a User, (ii) to cancel a Transaction requested by the User, (iii) to suspend a User’s recourse to the Services or to one or of the determined Services, or to (iv) lock and/or freeze and/or close a User Account, notably in case of violation by the User of her/his obligations or commitments pursuant to these GTC or if the Company consider that there are sufficient elements leading one to think that the User could be in violation of her/his obligations and commitments pursuant to these GTC, or notably:

in case of detection of unusual or suspicious activities on the User's User Account, or suspicion of the User's identity;
in case of detection or reporting of unauthorised access to the User's User Account;
in case of a request to that effect by a competent authority (request, court decision, ongoing investigation, etc.)
in case of the User’s failure to provide additional information or documents as requested by the Company;
in case of inappropriate behaviour and/or misconduct by the User (insults, threats, violence, etc.);
in case the User appears to be engaged in or participates in fraud, terrorist financing, money laundering, corruption, circumvention of economic sanctions applicable to the User on the date of the use of Services, tax fraud, or any other breach or violation of relevant criminal, administrative or tax laws in any country of the world, being part of a Ponzi scheme of any kind, using matrix programmes/pyramid programmes/multi-level marketing or other high-risk business detrimental to customers of any kind, unlawful activity in any country of the world; forbidden gambling; intellectual property or proprietary rights infringement, counterfeit or unauthorised goods; using/distributing drugs and drug paraphernalia or substances designed to mimic illegal drugs; producing/distributing adult content and services; using unfair, predatory or deceptive practice via customers or persons or any other risky or illegal transactions;
in case the Company have been informed of official investigations (by any competent public authority, in particular but not limited to any public prosecutors in the field of criminal law or tax agents) against such User with respect to fraud, terror financing, money laundering, tax fraud, or any breach or violation of relevant criminal, administrative or tax laws in any country of the world;
in case of breach of one or several obligations against the Company under the GTC without curing said breach within 10 business days;
in case a User has breached any rules or regulations of a Partner;
in case a User has opened more than one User Account.

The Company also reserve the right, notably with the objective of fraud prevention and the fight against illicit or fraudulent activities, to impose on a User, on a personal basis, limits (maximum or minimal limits) or a ceiling under the conditions described below, and/or to restrict or limit the use of certain Services by the aforementioned User.

These restrictions can be lifted by the Company if the latter considers that the causes and motives having led to their installation have disappeared, if necessary subject to the communication by the User of the information and documents requested of her/him by the Company. In addition, Intervention Fees may be levied / invoiced to the User in accordance with the provisions indicated in the article "Financial conditions" of these GTC.

5.7.2 Restrictions due to the Digital Assets available for a particular Service

The User may perform Transactions on various Digital Assets as offered/accepted on the Mobile Application. The list of Digital Assets accepted on the Mobile Application may be modified at any time without prior notice. In case of the permanent removal of a Digital Asset from the Mobile Application, the Company will make reasonable efforts to notify Users of this change with reasonable advance notice and to allow the User to perform Transactions on the said Digital Assets.

It is possible that a third-party provider of Digital Assets may cease to provide a given Digital Asset (delisting) or proceed with the migration (swap) of a given initial Digital Asset to a new Digital Asset, resulting in the Company's inability to accept said Digital Asset on the Mobile Application. In this situation, the User will be notified of this change and will have two options:

In the absence of the User's express refusal within a period determined by the Company, the Company will automatically proceed with the swap of the affected Digital Asset to the new Digital Asset offered or its delisting. In the event of delisting, the User will be offered the sale or exchange of this Digital Asset on the Platform; or
In case of the User's express refusal, the User must contact customer service to agree on the conditions for retaining the affected Digital Asset. The User will then have the option to provide information relating to an external ERC-20 wallet to transfer the Digital Asset no longer accepted on the Mobile Application.

Furthermore, not all Services are available for all types of Digital Assets offered on the Mobile Application, but some are only possible with the types of Digital Assets identified as such on the Mobile Application. Therefore, some Services may only be possible subject to the use of certain types of Digital Assets. The User must therefore, via their User Account and more broadly via the Platform, ensure the Digital Assets they can use based on the Services they wish to use, especially when using said Services.

5.7.3 Restrictions due to the setting of minimum and maximum limits, and a ceiling

The User can use the Services subject to complying with the minimum and maximum limits set by the Company for example for certain Transactions and for certain types of Digital Assets, in accordance with the rates applicable to the Loyalty Status subscribed by the User and/or indications appearing in the User's User Account.

These limits are subject to change at any time without notice. The User is therefore invited to take note of the minimum and maximum limits applicable to her/him when planning to perform a Transaction and undertakes to respect them.

In addition, a ceiling can be applied to the User by the Company, either for all of the User’s Transactions, or only for certain Transactions and/or for certain types of Digital Assets. The User will be informed of the existence of the said ceiling through her/his User Account.

A ceiling can be also applied by the Company in general to all Users either for all of their Transactions, or for example for all Transactions performed with a type of Digital Asset. Users will be informed of the existence of the said ceiling through the Platform.

These ceilings are subject to change at any time without notice. The User is therefore invited to check the ceilings applicable to her/him when planning to perform a Transaction and undertakes to respect them.

5.8 Warning - risks inherent to the Services

The User recognises that the Transactions performed in connection with the Services, and in general the purchase, use, sale, exchange, conversion or holding of Digital Assets, present risks for which the responsibility of the Company cannot be pursued under any circumstances, namely:

macroeconomic risk: changes of the macroeconomic situation may lead, amongst other things, to abnormal price fluctuations that may affect the User;
political / regulatory risk: changes of applicable laws and regulations may lead, amongst other things, to abnormal price fluctuations, or even a change of the operating conditions of the Platform and the conditions for the provision and use of the Services, that may affect the User;
performance risk: Digital Assets are not issued by financial institutions, and the Digital Asset market is a new and unregulated market that is susceptible to generate no real return;
volatility risk: Digital Assets are heavily used by speculators, which implies that Transactions in Digital Assets are exposed to extremely high volatility risks; moreover, Transactions take place throughout the day without interruption and without restriction on the rise or fall of the price, which implies that the price of the Digital Assets may undergo sudden variations leading to partial or total losses of the Users' investments. Also, the purchase, sale, exchange, etc. of Digital Assets involve significant risks: the User is advised never to invest more than s/he can afford to lose;
decentralization risk: there is no central entity or organisation that controls and regulates Digital Assets. Instead, Digital Assets are based on decentralized Blockchain technology. In case of a crisis, there is no entity or organisation that protects the Digital Assets market for example in order to minimize your losses.
operational risks: failures of hardware, software or networks (internet, telecommunication, electronic communication, telephone, etc.) can in certain circumstances result in the loss of Digital Assets;
risks resulting from cases of force majeure;
risk of theft of the private key and other handling errors (e.g. risk for the User of theft of her/his Identifiers) that may result in the partial or total loss of the Digital Assets;
liquidity risk: the exchange of a Digital Asset for a Fiat currency is not always guaranteed, nor is it guaranteed for any other type of Digital Asset.

The Company also emphasize that Digital Assets and Blockchain are new technologies, with special rules that differ from traditional investment systems. Thus, any use of Digital Assets, whether as an investment, as a monetary equivalent, etc., presents risks that the User must consider.

The Company notably provide the Users with information and tutorials intended to guide them in their use of the Platform and the Services. The User is nevertheless invited to vary her/his information sources and therefore to consult other sites than the Company’ Platform in order to inform her/himself with regard to the inherent risks in the Services, while specifying that the information and precisions appearing on the Platform are not exhaustive, nor necessarily up to date, and are only for information purposes relative to the Users.

The User must therefore be particularly vigilant when using the Platform and the Services, and must ensure that s/he has all of the skills and knowledge, particularly technical and financial, required to handle Digital Assets. Notably, the Company remind Users that past performance is not indicative of future performance, and that investment in Digital Assets presents risks of partial or total capital loss. The User is in any case invited to consult professionals specialising in financial, legal or tax advice before performing any transaction involving Digital Assets.

6. Terms of use of the User Account

6.1 Creation of a User Account

In order to create a User Account, the User must:

complete the required fields on the online form and thus communicate the requested information, namely:
- For a natural person: User's full name, e-mail address, phone number, identification document, date of birth;
- For a legal person: certificate of incorporation (or equivalent) less than 3 (three) months old, articles of association, name and surname of the legal representative, e-mail address of the legal representative, date of birth of the legal representative, telephone number of the legal representative.
provide the documents requested online for this purpose, notably as required under the obligations indicated in the article "Identity verification - Know Your Customer" hereof.

The information and documents indicated above, as well as the technical characteristics (format, size, etc.) of the said documents, are subject to change over time.

If this information and documents are not provided or appear to be inaccurate, the User's User Account cannot be created and s/he will not be able to benefit from the Services requiring the prior creation of the said User Account. In general, the User certifies the truthfulness and accuracy of the transmitted information (including the documents communicated both on the User’s own initiative or upon request) during the creation of her/his User Account.

The Company will have the right to pursue the responsibility of the User or any involved person in the event that the aforesaid transmitted information is false, inaccurate or misleading. The User must communicate her/his real identification information (e.g.: her/his real name) and contact information.

The User is also required, where appropriate, to update the provided information so as to ensure its accuracy over time and at any time, and guarantees the Company in this regard. The Company can in no case be held responsible for any difficulty encountered by a User, for example concerning the access to her/his User Account or the use of the Platform or Services, that would be linked, directly or indirectly, to the communication by the User of inaccurate or incomplete information, or to a lack of update of her/his information by the User, while specifying that the Company will be able to condition the use of the Services to the supply by the User of up-to-date information and documents (notably currently valid identity document) or even to the supply of additional information or documents (proof of address, justifications of origin of the funds, answer to a KYC questionnaire, etc.). The communication of inaccurate or incomplete information, or false documents, or the failure to update such information or documents by a User will constitute serious breaches by the User of these GTC entitling the Company to terminate the GTC and to delete the User's User Account without notice, in accordance with the article "Repudiation - termination".

The communication of additional information and/or documents may also be required by the Company in case of request of modification by the User of the information relative to her/his User Account.

6.1.1 Conditions for creating a User Account

A User Account can only be held by one person (whether a natural or legal person), and each person (whether a natural or legal person) can only have one User Account.

Any person (natural or legal) wishing to open a User Account must have full legal capacity to do so, as well as to commit to these GTC. In this respect, any natural person acting on behalf of a legal person guarantees to have all rights and authorisations necessary to validly commit the said legal person.

In addition, the opening of a User Account by a natural person requires being at least 18 years old (the 18^th birthday must have been reached).

The creation of a User Account is also restricted:

with regard to natural persons, to natural persons whose principal residence is in European Economic Area (EEA);
with regard to legal persons, to legal persons having their registered office in European Economic Area (EEA).

It is the User's responsibility to ensure that these conditions are respected.

The contents of the above section and the eligibility conditions or restrictions to the creation of a User Account are likely to change at any time and without notice, on simple decision of the Company, notably but not exclusively in order to conform to legislative or regulatory obligations. The Company cannot be held liable for the consequences of restrictions (such as refusal to create a User Account, suspension or even closing / deletion of the User's User Account), even new ones, that relate to the country of residence, nationality or country of the registered office of the User or that would result from legislative or regulatory obligations.

6.1.2 Identity verification - Know Your Customer

The information communicated by the User for the purpose of creating a User Account, is used in order to verify her/his identity notably within the framework of the KYC obligations.

The request made to the User to communicate this information to the Company may result, amongst other things, from the obligations of the latter pursuant to the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism. In this regard, the User undertakes to and guarantees to the Company, that s/he will comply with the the Company KYC policy.

Through the KYC onboarding procedure, the User guarantees to provide the Company with true and reliable information on his/her identity (proof of identity) and address (proof of address).

KYC operations and notably the verification of the User's identity may be delegated by the Company to a third-party service provider.

6.1.3 Prohibitions

The creation or opening of a User Account is forbidden to any User whose User Account was previously closed by the Company as a result of a termination of these GTC for fault of the User.

The User who requests the creation of her/his User Account guarantees that her/his use of the Platform and Services will not expose the Company to any sanctions and that such use will not violate any applicable law or regulation, notably with respect to the fight against terrorism, economic sanctions, the fight against corruption or the fight against money laundering.

As such, the User notably guarantees:

not being a Restricted Party;
has not received notice of or is aware of any claim, action, suit proceeding or investigation against it with respect to Sanctions by any Sanctions Authority;
is not subject to any applicable limitation or restriction under Sanctions;
has not conducted its operations at any time in breach of applicable financial record keeping and reporting requirements and money laundering and anti-terrorism financing statutes in all jurisdictions in which s/he conducts business, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency;
has not engaged in any activity which would breach any anti-bribery and corruption laws;
is not subject to any action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator in relation to a breach of any anti-bribery and corruption laws or any money laundering or anti-terrorism financing Laws;
not being subject to a ban on using the Services resulting, notably, from legislative or regulatory provisions or from an administrative or legal decision, for example;
not being subject to restrictions on access to financial services as adopted by the United Nations, the Council of the European Union, etc. in the context of the fight against terrorism, corruption or money laundering;
not being on the list of specially designated nationals maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC - United States treasury department) or the list of denied personal of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Any violation of the provisions of this article "Creation of a User Account" by the User constitutes a serious violation likely to lead to the termination without notice of the GTC to the exclusive detriment of the User and the permanent prohibition for the User from accessing and using the Platform and the Services.

In addition, the Company reserve the right to refuse the creation of a User Account by a User who does not comply or does not respect the terms and provisions indicated in this article "Creation of a User Account", and more generally in these GTC, as well as to temporarily suspend or close / delete the User's User Account under the conditions indicated in the articles "Suspension of the User Account" and “Closing and deletion of the User Account" of these GTC.

6.2 Confidentiality and security of the Identifiers and the User Account

The creation of a User Account requires the User to choose Identifiers for the said User Account that are personal and that will be necessary to access the said User Account. To this end, the User will be asked to choose an identifier or login (i.e. her/his telephone number or e-mail address) and a password (i.e. PIN code) that must comply with the format and characteristics required as indicated on the online form to create her/his User Account.

The User is solely responsible for preserving the confidentiality of her/his Identifiers, that are strictly personal, and undertakes to perform all useful measures to ensure this complete confidentiality, and notably to change her/his password regularly (i.e. at least every 6 months). The User is therefore required to keep her/his Identifiers confidential and to protect them from access by or disclosure to third parties. The User is solely responsible for the strictly personal use of her/his Identifiers and guarantees the Company in this regard.

The User's Identifiers can be reinitialized at any time ("forgotten password procedure") on the initiative of the latter or on the initiative of the Company subject to providing the User with prior information thereof (while specifying that in all cases, this reinitialization will naturally have to be carried out by the User her/himself, even if on the initiative of the Company).

In case of password loss or theft, or in case of unauthorised access to her/his User Account, the User must immediately and without delay inform the Company by electronic mail sent to the following address: support@vancelian.com and must follow the instructions that may be communicated to her/him by the Company, notably in order to lock access to her/his User Account.

The reopening of the User's User Account following such a lockout request will be subject to the User providing additional information and/or documents to ensure her/his identity and the legitimacy of her/his reopening request. The Company cannot be held responsible in case of the User's failure to communicate the required information and/or the documents.

The use of the User's Identifiers to connect to her/his User Account and perform operations (including Transactions) is, between the Parties, attributable to the User with regard to (i) operations performed on or from her/his User Account, (ii) of any use of the Platform and the Services performed concomitantly with her/his connection to her/his User Account and (iii) of any fact or act related thereto.

The User is also informed that the connection or access to her/his User Account by means of her/his Identifiers constitutes proof between the Parties of the authentication and identification of the User but also of her/his identity.

The Company shall make reasonable efforts to ensure the security of the access to the Services and notably to the User's User Account, and to prevent any unauthorised person from being able to access it. the Company does not guarantee the absolute security of the Services or of the access to the User Account, and more generally to the Platform.

6.3 Suspension of the User Account

Without prejudice to the provisions contained in the articles “Repudiation - termination” and “General restrictions” hereof, the Company reserve the right to suspend the access to the User's User Account and to suspend by right and without notice the supply of all or part of the Services, in case of the User's violation of her/his obligations or commitments pursuant to these GTC or if the Company consider that there are sufficient elements allowing one to think that the User could be in violation of her/his obligations and commitments pursuant to these GTC.

Furthermore, such a suspension may notably occur:

in case of detection of unusual or suspicious activities on the User's User Account, or suspicion regarding the User's identity;
in case of detection or suspicion or reporting of unauthorised access to the User's User Account;
in case of reasonable suspicion of use of the Platform and/or Services in connection with illegal or fraudulent activities;
in case of a request to that effect by a competent authority (request, court decision, decision or request by an administrative or judicial authority, ongoing investigation, etc.)
in the absence of delivery by the User of the additional information or documents requested by the Company;
in case of inappropriate behaviour and/or misconduct by the User (insults, threats, violence, etc.).

The suspension of the User Account implies the impossibility for the User to connect to it and/or to benefit from the Services / to use the Services requiring such connection to the User Account.

Insofar as possible (and notably, unless prohibited by a competent authority or by the applicable provisions), the Company shall inform the User of this suspension without delay and shall, at its sole discretion, inform her/him of the reasons for this suspension.

Except for cases when the suspension of the User's User Account occurs following the request of a competent authority, the Company will inform the User, by sending an electronic mail to the e-mail address provided by the User in her/his User Account, of the interval in which s/he will be required to remedy the causes of this suspension (for example regularization actions to perform in case of the User's violation of her/his obligations or commitments pursuant to these GTC or communication of information and documents for the analysis of the situation by the Company, etc.). If not specified otherwise, this period is 7 (seven) days.

Should the User not comply with the demands of the Company within the time limit set by the latter, the Company reserve the possibility of definitively closing the User's User Account for fault and terminating these GTC under the conditions of the article "Repudiation - termination" hereof.

Without prejudice to the above, in case of violation by a User of her/his obligations or commitments pursuant to these GTC or if the Company consider that there are sufficient elements allowing one to think that the User could be in violation of her/his obligations and commitments pursuant to these GTC, the Company reserve the right to take any appropriate measure and in particular to publish on the Site any information message that the Company deem useful, to warn any authority concerned and to take any legal action.

6.4 Closing and deletion of the User Account

6.4.1 General principles

The User may request the closing and deletion of her/his User Account directly from her/his User Account or by e-mail sent to the following address: support@vancelian.com.

The closing and deletion of the User Account by the Company may occur in any event within a period of two years from the last connection of the User to her/his User Account in the event that s/he held no Digital Asset in her/his User Wallet during this period of two years.

Moreover, the Company will proceed with the closing and deletion of the User's User Account in case of termination of these GTC.

In this regard, and unless indicated otherwise in these GTC, the closing of the User Account implies the impossibility for the User to connect to it and/or to benefit from the Services / to use the Services requiring such a connection to the User Account, as well as the deletion of said User Account.

It is further specified that only the User is responsible for ensuring the conservation and safeguard of the information and documents transmitted by or to the Company, or more generally via the Platform and/or registered or stored in the User Account.

The closing and deletion of a User Account, whatever the cause or initiator, will not give rise to any compensation of any kind for the User.

6.4.2 Special situations

If a Transaction or other operation is in progress at the time of the closing of the User's User Account, the Company reserve the right to cancel this Transaction or operation before deleting the User Account.

In case of the User's death, the Company will be able to proceed with the transfer of the User Account and of the related Digital Assets and/or Fiat currencies to the assigns in fulfilment of a precise and express request in this sense from the assigns and on presentation of the required justifications, in return for the payment of Intervention Fees and withdrawal Fees in accordance with the provisions of the article "Financial conditions".

6.4.3 Sale and/or Withdrawal of Digital Assets

In case of closing of the User's User Account, the User must settle her/his outstanding payments, expenses, debts, etc. due to the Company within a maximum period of 7 (seven) days.

After such settlement, the User shall sell or withdraw all of her/his Digital Assets and/or Fiat currencies from her/his User Account within a maximum period of 15 (fifteen) days following the closing of the User Account. In this context, the Company will be able to apply specific restrictions with regard to the use of the Services by the User (e.g.: blocking of certain Transactions, etc.). Where the User fails to action the sale or withdrawal of the said Digital Assets and/or Fiat currencies within this period, the remaining Digital Assets and/or Fiat currencies should be wired on a verified bank account opened in the name of the User.

The sale or withdrawal by the User of her/his Digital Assets and/or Fiat currencies may be made under the conditions indicated in the article "Performance of Transactions". For the avoidance of doubt, withdrawal Transactions are subject to Fees that may exceed the sum of the Digital Assets and/or the Fiat currencies. Such a case implies an obligation for the User to carry out the sale thereof, or failing that, to definitively waive/renounce the said Digital Assets and/or Fiat currencies. The User shall contact the Company without delay in case of difficulty relative to the sale or withdrawal of her/his Digital Assets and/or Fiat currencies following the closing of her/his User Account.

Notwithstanding the above, in case of suspension or closing of the User's User Account following a suspicion of illicit activity or fraud (notably corruption, financing of terrorism and/or money laundering, but also performance of or participation in market manipulation) or in case of illicit activity or proven fraud, or in case of violation of the applicable laws and regulations or of these GTC, or in case this suspension or closing results directly or indirectly from a request of a competent authority, the Company will be able to immediately prevent the User from connecting to her/his User Account and/or to benefit from and use the Services of the User Account. Moreover, the Company will not be obligated to return the Digital Assets and/or Fiat currencies in the User's User Account and it reserves the right to provide them to the relevant Competent Authorities where required.

7. Financial conditions

7.1 Prices of the Digital Assets

The User recognises having been informed of the absence of stability of the Prices of Digital Assets and of their particularly great volatility, with neither the Company nor its Partners bearing any responsibility in this regard.

In the context of a purchase or sale of Digital Assets, the price of the Digital Assets provided by the Company is solely dependent on the Exchange Platforms and is determined under their sole responsibility, without any control by the Company.

The Price of the Digital Assets that may be the subject of a Transaction can be viewed by the User on the Platform at the moment “T” when the User makes her/his request. The displayed Prices are not by default denominated in Digital Assets or any other Fiat currency, but as a quantity of one type of Digital Asset that can be exchanged for another quantity of another type of Digital Asset. However, the User may view, for information purposes, the corresponding amount equivalent to the quantity of Digital Assets offered for exchange and/or requested for exchange, in the Fiat currency of his/her choice, amongst those offered on the Platform.

7.2 Transaction Fees

The completion of Transactions are services offered to the User for a fee. The User is thus required to pay the Transaction Fees specified hereafter to the Company (barring contrary indication in these GTC specifying that the Fees may be owed to a third party) and authorises the Company to take from her/his User Wallet, or from the amount of the realised Transaction, all Transaction Fees possibly owed in accordance with these GTC.

The rates are subject to change / revision at any time. In case of a rate update, the new rates apply to all Transactions initiated and validated by the User after the effective date of the new rates.

The Fees applicable to Transactions carried out by Users may vary according to the type of Loyalty Status subscribed by the User.

Loyalty Status Fees are available on the Platform via the following section: https://vancelian.com/memberships/.

7.3 Intervention Fees

Intervention Fees can be owed by the User to the Company in the circumstances anticipated in these GTC. In addition, such Intervention Fees are also due in case of an error or mishandling attributable to the User in the context of the performance of the Transactions, and more generally in the use of the Services, as well as in the following cases:

failure to comply with minimum limits, maximum limits;
issue of an erroneous or incomplete order.

7.4 Payments

The amount of the Intervention Fees, depending on the type of intervention, is detailed in the "Rates" section. The Intervention Fee is independent of the Transaction Fee and is in addition to the Transaction Fee payable by the User.

The Fees when owed to the Company, are payable upon validation of the Transaction by the User or in absence of a Transaction, upon the realisation of the intervention giving rise to Intervention Fees.

Any delayed payment or non-payment of an amount owed on its due date indicated above will result, without the need for a reminder, in the application of late penalties. The interest rate for such late payment penalties will be 5%.

Such penalties will be calculated and will be owed without prejudice to the right of the Company to claim compensation for its loss arising from late payment or non-payment. The penalties will be owed as from the day following the payment date of the sums owed and until the day of their collection by the Company.

Finally, any User in a situation of late payment will be required to pay fixed compensation for recovery expenses, equal to 40 EUR to the Company. If the incurred recovery costs are greater than this compensation, the Company may request additional compensation on justification. However, the Company may not claim the benefit of such compensation in case of the opening of safeguard, recovery or liquidation proceedings that would prohibit the payment of the debt owed to it on its due date.

7.5 Price and Fee disclaimer - No guarantee

The Price of a Digital Asset and the amount of the Transaction Fees are fixed at the moment “T” when the User validates the Transaction. However, given the particularly high volatility of Digital Assets, it is possible that the Price of a Digital Asset and the amount of the Transaction Fees may not be strictly identical between the time the User views them upstream and the time s/he then actually validates the Transaction.

The Prices and Transaction Fees may therefore vary, either continuously or from time to time, and at any time. Apart from the cases in which cancellation of a Transaction is possible in accordance with these GTC, Transactions are irreversible and the User cannot request cancellation due to a Price change or a change in the rates of the Fees that would occur after the validation of the Transaction.

Furthermore, the Price set at the moment “T” when the User validates the Transaction is not guaranteed, nor is the amount of the associated Fees:

in case of a Transaction that is validated but not effectively completed and executed;
following a modification of the Transaction requested by the User or resulting from an error or mishandling attributable to the User;
in case of non-compliance with these GTC by the User;
in case of suspension or closing / deletion by the Company or by the User of the User Account of the latter;
in case of cancellation of the Transaction by the User or by the Company under the conditions envisaged in the GTC;
in case of force majeure;
in case of failure or interruption of the Platform and/or Services due to one of the cases mentioned in the article "Availability of the Platform and Services".

Moreover, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct, the Company cannot be held liable to the User for any foreseen or foreseeable damages.

the Company shall not be responsible or liable for the following:
- dereferencing or deletion from the Platform of a type of Digital Asset as a result, for example, of its low attractiveness in relation to the volume of orders placed by market participants or to a legislative or regulatory change or the disappearance of the relevant network / Blockchain. The Company will make reasonable efforts to inform the User of this at least thirty (30) days before the aforementioned dereferencing or deletion so that the User can carry out a withdrawal or sale Transaction of its relevant Digital Assets, but could, depending on the potentially arising circumstances or situations, be unable to meet this time limit, which the User recognises and accepts;

10. Repudiation - termination

10.1 Repudiation

The User may repudiate the GTC (i.e. end them) at any time and without notice, provided that s/he deletes his/her User Account in accordance with the provisions and conditions indicated in the article "Closing and deletion of the User Account".

The Company are authorised to repudiate and put an end to these GTC, without the User being able to claim unspecified harm as a result, under the conditions and according to the following provisions:

Should a law, regulation, decision of an authority or competent jurisdiction prevent the Company from continuing all or part of the GTC (and therefore of the Services) between the Parties, or if the Company have reasons to believe that continuing all or part of the GTC (and therefore of the Services) is impossible because of this fact, while providing at least thirty (30) days of notice, except if the law, regulation or decision indicated in this article prohibits or does not allow the Company to respect such a notice period. In addition, the Company may, at their sole discretion, subject to the above notice, unless conditions do not permit such notice, repudiate any or all of the GTC (and therefore terminate any or all of the Services) in order to comply with any laws, regulations, rulings or decisions applicable to the business of dealing in or handling Digital Assets;
In case of a technical or security problem affecting the Platform and/or the provision of the Services, including but not limited to the event that a Partner suspends or terminates the provision, maintenance or administration of the Platform upon thirty (30) days prior notice, or, only if conditions do not permit such notice, immediately without notice;
For convenience, at the discretion of the Company and without the need for a reason or any justification, which the User expressly accepts under these GTC, subject to reasonable notice addressed by email to the User (such email being to the one provided by the User in her/his User Account) of not less than then (10) days and not more than thirty (30) days, except if the law, regulation, a decision rendered by an authority, an emergency situation or a situation of particular gravity, prohibits or does not allow the Company to respect such a notice period.

Barring contrary provisions in this article, and barring prohibition resulting from a legislative or regulatory text or from a decision of a competent authority, any repudiation on the initiative of the Company is preceded by sending an electronic mail to the e-mail address provided by the User in her/his User Account, informing the User of this repudiation and of the date on which the repudiation will be effective, in compliance with the periods and notices recalled herein. In the absence of any requirement for the Company to give notice, this e-mail is concomitant with the repudiation.

10.2 Termination

The termination of the GTC can occur on notification by the Company, in addition to the cases specifically found in the terms of articles of these GTC and without prejudice to all damages and interest that could be claimed to the User, in the following cases:

For failure by the User to comply with any of its obligations or commitments under these GTC, notably in case of failure to comply with its obligations under the articles "Description of the Services", "Terms of use of the Platform and Services", "Terms of use of the User Account", "Financial conditions" and "Respective obligations of the Parties", seven (7) days after the User has been given a formal notice to comply with its obligations and/or commitments which has remained unsuccessful;
Should the User not comply with the demands of the Company within the time limit indicated by the latter in the circumstances described in the article "Suspension of the User Account", seven (7) days after the notification to the User of a formal demand to comply which has remained unsuccessful;

For this reason, the following notably constitute serious breaches on the part of the User that entitle the Company to terminate the GTC without notice:
- the fact that a User registers in the name of another person in order to circumvent a ban on creating a User Account;
- the fact that a User provides false, inaccurate, outdated, obsolete or incomplete information (for example, information on her/his identity or contact details), or that s/he fails to update some of this information, or that s/he communicates false documents (e.g. a copy of a letter, a copy of a document or a copy of a document:
- the fact that a User refuses to accept the modified GTC by requesting the deletion of her/his User Account;
- the use of the Platform and/or the Services, voluntarily or not, for illicit or fraudulent purposes or activities;
- the non-payment by the User of Transaction Fees owed to the Company (or to a Partner of the latter);
- any other serious breach of these GTC or of applicable laws and regulations.

The notices indicated in this article are sent by the Company by electronic mail to the e-mail address provided by the User in her/his User Account. The Company will then inform the User, by the same means, of the actual termination of the GTC. In the absence of obligation for the Company to provide the User with prior formal notice, an e-mail will nevertheless be sent to the latter in order to inform her/him of the termination of the GTC.

If the termination of these GTC by the Company occurs when a User has failed to comply with and breached these T&Cs (e.g.: provided false documents, used User Account to launder illicit funds or commit fraud, etc.), the User expressly acknowledges and accepts that he/she is not entitled to a refund of the AKTIO Coins in his/her wallet where the AKTIO Coins were obtained via welcome bonus or referral bonus.

10.3 Consequences

In case of termination or repudiation of these GTC within the framework of this article "Repudiation - termination", the Company will close and delete the User's User Account according to the provisions of the article "Closing and deletion of the User Account" hereof.

Clauses that by their nature or purpose must continue beyond the end of the GTC will continue and remain applicable after the end of the GTC, until the end of their respective individual purpose, unless a specific term is indicated in the GTC.

13.1 Computer traces

The User acknowledges that the Platform or the tools implemented on the Platform, and notably as part of the User's User Account or the Services, allow for the traceability of certain completed actions and operations (notably the traceability of the Transactions performed or the acceptance of the GTC), as well as the delivery of certain notifications and certificates, notably for reasons of security and evidence. These traceability procedures generate computer traces or event logs (the "Computer Traces").

The User acknowledges that the Computer Traces generated by the Platform, as well as their possible reproduction on a paper or electronic medium, allow proof of the use of the Platform, the User Account and the Services, and notably proof of the completion of a Transaction, the publication of content, the input of information, the delivery of information or consent / acceptance.

13.2 Electronic writings

The User formally acknowledges that exchanges with the Company may take place by any means, notably by electronic message sent to the e-mail address mentioned in the User Account or mentioned in the User's correspondence, or by means of all documents and other electronic writings resulting from the use of the Services, notably Computer Traces, and more generally resulting from the execution of these GTC, as well as those accepted or signed electronically (the "Electronic Writings").

The User recognises that the Electronic Writings provide valid proof of a fact or the content of the exchanges, and that in general any trace or any computer and/or electronic document emanating from the Company, from the Platform, from the User Account or from the use of the Services serves as proof between the Parties.

The User also acknowledges that the Electronic Writings:

constitute original documents between the Parties;
are proof between the Parties of the medium and the content that they represent;
justify the possibly resulting consequences and operations (for example, proof that an action - including a Transaction or an acceptance for example - has been performed via the Platform or the User Account by means of Computer Traces);
provide proof of the dates and times associated with the Electronic Writings;
are admissible as evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction.

In any event, the User formally waives the right to claim the nullity, non-application, lack of legal evidential value or non-enforceability of the Electronic Writings on the grounds that they are issued by the Company, the use of the Platform, the User Account, the Services or the Computer Traces, or that they are in electronic form.

No fault on the part of the User in the management of delegations of powers will be enforceable against the Company in order to set aside the legal value of the Electronic Writings.

13.3 Retention and archiving

The Parties will be personally responsible for the preservation and archiving of the Electronic Writings.

Each Party will use the means and procedures that it deems necessary for preservation and archiving purposes. It is the User's responsibility to seek information on this matter from archiving professionals and to take all appropriate measures.

For your information, the Company will keep a record of the User's execution of each Transaction and the related acceptance of these GTC for a period of ten (10) years from the execution of the Transaction, and while guaranteeing access to it at any time during this same period.

These elements are retained by the Company in electronic format. These elements are an integral part of the Electronic Writings. The User may access them by sending an e-mail request to support@vancelian.com.

The same applies more generally in the event that the contractual balance is upset by circumstances that were unforeseeable at the time of the conclusion of the GTC, even if their execution proves excessively burdensome, with the User agreeing to bear all economic and financial consequences and in this case to waive the possibility of claiming any legal or regulatory provisions that would be applicable to such a situation of unpredictability.

16.2 Non-waiver

16.3 Interpretation

In case of interpretation difficulties resulting from a contradiction between any of the titles appearing at the start of the articles and any of the articles, the titles will be declared non-existent.
