We may charge network fees (“miner fees”) to process a Transaction on your behalf. We will calculate the miner fees at our discretion, although we will always notify you of the miner fees at (or before) the time you authorize the Digital Asset Transaction. When you or a third party sends Digital Assets to an Account from an external wallet not hosted on the Platform, the person initiating the transaction is solely responsible for executing the transaction properly, which may include, among other things, payment of miner fees in order for the transaction to be completed successfully. Non-payment of miner fees may cause your Transaction to remain in a pending state outside of our control and we are not responsible for delays or loss incurred as a result of an error in the initiation of the transaction and have no obligation to assist in the remediation of such Transactions.
Once submitted to a Digital Asset network, a Transaction will be unconfirmed for a period of time pending sufficient confirmation of the Transaction by the Digital Asset network. A Transaction is not complete while it is in a pending state. Digital Asset associated with Transactions that are in a pending state will be designated accordingly and will not be included in your Account balance or be available to conduct Transactions until confirmed by the network.
We may also refuse to process or cancel any pending Transaction as required by law, regulation or any court or other authority to which we are subject in any jurisdiction, for instance, if there is suspicion of money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other financial crime.

In particular, the underlying protocols are likely to be subject to sudden changes in operating rules (“forks”). Any such material operating changes may materially affect the availability, value, functionality, and/or the name of the Digital Asset you store in your Account. We do not control the timing and features of these material operating changes. It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of upcoming operating changes and you must carefully consider publicly available information and information that may be provided by us in determining whether to continue to transact in the affected Digital Asset using your Account. In the event of any such operational change, we reserve the right to take such steps as may be necessary to protect the security and safety of assets held on the Platform, including temporarily suspending operations for the involved digital asset(s), and other necessary steps.
We will use our best efforts to provide you notice of our response to any material operating change. However, such changes are outside of our control and may occur without notice to us. Our response to any material operating change is subject to its sole discretion and includes deciding not to support any new Digital Asset, fork, or other actions.
