- Legislative and/or regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange and value of Digital Assets.
- Transactions in Digital Assets may be irreversible, and accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable and/or refundable.
- Some Digital Assets transactions shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that the customer initiates the transactions.
- The value of Digital Assets may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currencies for Digital Assets, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular virtual currency should the market for that Virtual Currency disappear.
- There is no assurance that a person who accepts Digital Assets as a payment today will continue to do so in the future.
- The nature of Digital Assets may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyberattack and may mean that technological difficulties experienced by the Company may prevent the access or use of your Digital Assets.
- Any bond or trust account we may hold for your benefit may not be sufficient to cover all losses incurred by you.
You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for determining the nature, potential value, suitability, and appropriateness of those risks for you, and that the Company does not give advice or recommendations regarding Digital Assets including the suitability and appropriateness of, and investment strategies for, Digital Assets. You acknowledge and agree that you shall access and use the Services at your own risk. However, this brief statement does not disclose all of the risks associated with trading in Digital Assets. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources.

To the extent that you receive access to such live data, you hereby agree that you will not redistribute, retransmit, duplicate, or otherwise make such data available in any way, either through automated, manual, or any other means.

2.13. In order to provide you with the Services, including the Exchange, you may also be required to disclose certain other third-party account information to us, including, without limitation, your bank account number, your Bitcoin addresses and related information. As indicated elsewhere in this Agreement, we are not responsible for any unauthorized use of your Account with Us or any third-party accounts, which you use in connection with the Exchange.
2.14. Funding your Account – After creating your Account with us, you will be able to fund your Account by transferring, for example, BTC, from your accounts with such third party virtual currency providers into accounts operated by the Exchange. No fees are charged by us for funding your Account; however, third parties, such as your bank, may charge transaction and other fees.
2.14.1. For example, to fund your Account with 10 BTC, you would use the third-party Bitcoin software to transfer your own pre-existing 10 BTC to the Exchange’s Bitcoin address for the omnibus client account. The Exchange would then credit your Account with 10 BTC on the Exchange’s ledger, and you would be able to trade those BTC for TZS on the Exchange.
2.15. Trading – After your Account has been funded, you may begin to trade your virtual currency with other Members. Trading is accomplished via bids and offers to buy and sell virtual currency. Specific examples and illustrations of how trading works may be found on the Site. We are not responsible for any disputes among or between Members regarding any transaction.
2.15.1. Matching bids and offers to buy and sell virtual currency are automatically paired by the Exchange, and the Exchange will notify the respective Members that the order has been executed. Once a match is made, the order is executed and cleared instantaneously. YOU SHOULD ONLY PLACE A BID OR OFFER TO BUY OR SELL IF YOU FULLY INTEND TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION. You have the right to stop payment of a preauthorized bid or offer to sell or buy virtual currency by initiating procedures through your Account online to effectuate closure of such open bid or offer.
2.15.2. Members may only sell as much virtual currency as is recorded by us in the Exchange ledger plus the applicable Transaction Fee. Any attempt by you to sell more virtual currency than our records show exists in your Account after deduction of the applicable Transaction Fee will result in an unsuccessful trade and may be grounds for termination of your Account.
2.15.3. Once an order has been executed and the appropriate currencies have been credited and debited from the Members’ Accounts, there is no way to reverse the transaction. The Exchange simply matches bids and offers put forth by Members and assists Members with carrying out the intent of the Member as expressed via the bid(s) offer(s).
2.16. Fees for Member Transactions – In order to provide the Site, Exchange, and other Services to you, we charge a fee on each transaction initiated by Members of the Site (“Transaction Fee”). The current Transaction Fee may be found on our Site. We reserve the right to change, modify or increase Transaction Fee from time to time. Any such changes, modifications or increases will be effective upon posting such changes, modifications or increases on our Site at https://tanzania.belfrics.com/. If you do not agree to the posted changes, modifications, or increases, you may delete your Account as provided in herein. Your first use of your Account following the posting of any changes or revisions to the terms of this Agreement or modified
Transaction Fee as posted on the Site will constitute your acceptance of all such changes or revisions.
2.17. Transaction Fees are paid by both the buyer Member and seller Member in any given transaction. The BTC buyer will be charged a fee in TZS and the BTC seller will be charged a fee in BTC. Any fees charged by a third party, including any third-party provider of virtual currency when moving such virtual currency in or out of the omnibus client account, will be charged to the Member.
2.18. Unless consented to by us in writing, (is) you may only transfer BTC to the same BTC addresses from which you transferred the BTC into your Account with us, if any.
2.19. Withdrawing Currency – In addition to allowing Members to trade virtual currency, the Exchange allows Members to withdraw virtual currency upon request to us. Members may withdraw all or some of their virtual currency, and there is no minimum amount of virtual currency required to maintain your status as a Member (however, as indicated above, you may only trade or sell virtual currency up to the amount shown as belonging to you in the ledger maintained by the Exchange). BTC currency will be transferred from the Exchange’s account to Bitcoin address provided by the Member. Withdrawals will generally take up to three (3) days to complete, provided that larger withdrawals may take up to thirty (30) days to complete and that any withdrawal may be delayed as necessary to comply with applicable law and/or the Exchange’s customer identification and anti-money laundering procedures.
2.20. A statement of your available currency balance and the status of your Account is available to you in electronic format for viewing online anytime (subject to down times) at the Site. You may review online all transactions that have taken place in the previous one year. You also have the right to receive a receipt, trade ticket or other evidence of a transaction.
2.21. Trading Errors – If you believe that you have been erroneously charged a Transaction Fee, please notify us immediately of such error, along with any additional information concerning the transaction. If we do not hear from you within thirty (30) days after such alleged erroneous Transaction Fee first appears on any Account statement, such fee will be deemed acceptable by you for all purposes.
