      6. the value of Digital Assets can be volatile, and we are not in any way responsible or liable for any losses you may incur by holding or trading the Digital Assets, even if the Website or Services are delayed, suspended, or interrupted for any reason; and

      7. there may be risks in leaving securities and assets in the custody of Custody Plus. Such risks include the loss of all your securities and assets. In relation to securities and assets held in other jurisdictions or in relation to which the laws of other jurisdictions may apply, Custody Plus may appoint foreign custodians to provide custody of such securities and assets. There may be additional risks in relation to such foreign custodians arising from the operation of foreign law, rules and regulations.

While every attempt will be made to segregate your securities and assets from any securities and assets of Custody Plus held with other custodians, there may be instances when some custodians may not recognise such segregation. Your ability to withdraw these securities and assets may be affected in the event of any default or insolvency of Custody Plus.

    2. Digital Assets Disclaimer

      By accessing and/or using the Website or Services, you expressly acknowledge and agree that:

      1. we are not responsible for any loss or damage incurred by you as a result of your use of our Services or for your failure to understand the nature of Digital Assets or the market for such Digital Assets. All we are providing you is a method by which you can store certain digital assets, and we make no representations or warranties concerning the value, stability, or legality of any such Digital Assets.

      2. you acknowledge the following risks related to your use of the Website and the Services:

        1. The risk of loss in value of Digital Assets may be substantial and losses may occur over a short period of time.

        2. The price and liquidity of Digital Assets has been subject to large fluctuations in the past and may be subject to large fluctuations in the future;

        3. Digital Assets are not legal tender, and are not backed by any government;

        4. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions or changes in the law at a national or international level may adversely affect the ownership, custody, use, validity or nature of transactions and value of Digital Assets;

        5. Transactions in Digital Assets may be irreversible, and accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable;

        6. 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 or transact in the Digital Assets, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of Digital Assets should the market for the Digital Assets disappear;

        7. the nature of Digital Assets may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyberattack, and may mean that technological difficulties experienced by Custody Plus may prevent the access or use of your Digital Assets;

        8. any trust account we may hold for your benefit may not be sufficient to cover all losses incurred by you.

    3. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for determining the nature, potential value, suitability, and appropriateness of those risks for you, and that Custody Plus 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 and the Website at your own risk.

    4. 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. You should be aware that you may sustain a total loss of the funds in your User Account, and that under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position.

Appendix 3: Custodial Services Agreement

  1. These Specific Terms and Conditions Governing Custodial Services (“Custody Terms”) apply to your holdings of Digital Assets which are held in custody by Custody Plus on your behalf (collectively known as “Authorised Investments”).

  2. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between:

    1. these Custody Terms and any other applicable agreement in respect of any Authorised Investment kept in custody with us, these Custody Terms shall prevail.

  3. We may open and operate a custodian account (each a “Custodian Account”) for the purpose of holding any Authorised Investment on your behalf. We shall act as custodian of such Authorised Investment in accordance with these Custody Terms and any applicable laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may, in our absolute discretion, refuse to accept any Authorised Investment for custody, without providing any reasons for the same.

  4. You authorise us to take such steps as we may consider expedient to enable us to hold your Authorised Investment in accordance with these Custody Terms and without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, we shall be authorised to:

    1. Acquire, hold in custody, dispose of or otherwise deal with such Authorised Investments in accordance with these Custody Terms;

    2. Comply with all applicable laws, including any applicable law which impose or purport to impose on a holder of any Authorised Investment kept in custody with us a duty to make or refrain from making any payment of monies or other distribution or from taking any action in respect of such Authorised Investment;

    3. Register such Authorised Investment in your name or our name at our discretion and keep such Authorised Investment in such locations as we shall think fit; and

    4. Use the services of any agent for the purpose of holding in custody any Authorised Investment on such terms as we deem appropriate, and where appropriate, authorise such agent to delegate the performance of some or all of its duties.

  5. You agree that any Authorised Investment held or registered in our name may, in our absolute discretion, be re-deposited with any agent as may be selected by us (whether in Singapore or elsewhere) for your account and at your sole risk. Provided that we have acted in good faith and used reasonable care in the selection and continued appointment of such agent, you agree that we shall not be responsible for any act, omission or default or for the insolvency of such agent.

  6. Without prejudice to any provision in this Agreement, your Authorised Investments deposited with us or held by any third party in our name may be held on a tangible basis or commingled with assets belonging to other parties. You understand and agree that identification by distinctive numbers of any Authorised Investment owned by you may not be possible and that your interest in such Authorised Investments may not be identifiable by separate certificates or other physical documents or equivalent electronic records. In such case, we will maintain records of your interest in such Authorised Investments which have been commingled in the manner as provided herein. Neither us nor any agent holding any Authorised Investment on your behalf shall be bound to return to you the identical Authorised Investments deposited in custody so long as such Authorised Investments returned to you are of the same class, denomination, quantity and nominal amount and rank pari passu with those originally deposited with or transferred to us (subject always to any capital reorganisation in the meantime).

  7. You acknowledge and agree that in the event of insolvency:

    1. of us licensed, registered or authorised in Singapore, your Authorised Investments will be segregated from our assets and investments and will not form part of the pool of assets available to our creditors.

    2. of a sub-custodian licensed, registered or authorised in foreign jurisdictions, you may be exposed to additional risk as the laws and practices relating to custody accounts in those jurisdictions may offer different or diminished investor protection. Such differences may affect your ability to recover the Authorised Investments deposited in the Custody Account.

  8. The provision of Services set out in these Custody Terms does not constitute us as a trustee (other than a bare trustee) and we shall have no trust, fiduciary or other obligations in respect of any Authorised Investment kept in custody with us pursuant to these Custody Terms, save for those expressly provided for in these Custody Terms or as otherwise agreed in writing.

  9. We will use the same care with respect to your Authorised Investments kept in custody with us as we use in respect of our own similar property, provided always that we are not required to maintain any insurance in respect of any Authorised Investment kept in custody with us pursuant to these Custody Terms.

  10. The Services to which these Custody Terms applies may be terminated by you or us in accordance with Clause 5 of the Terms and Conditions.

Appendix 3: Custodial Services Agreement

  1. These Specific Terms and Conditions Governing Custodial Services (“Custody Terms”) apply to your holdings of Digital Assets which are held in custody by Custody Plus on your behalf (collectively known as “Authorised Investments”).
  • In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between:
  1. these Custody Terms and any other applicable agreement in respect of any Authorised Investment kept in custody with us, these Custody Terms shall prevail.
  • We may open and operate a custodian account (each a “Custodian Account”) for the purpose of holding any Authorised Investment on your behalf. We shall act as custodian of such Authorised Investment in accordance with these Custody Terms and any applicable laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may, in our absolute discretion, refuse to accept any Authorised Investment for custody, without providing any reasons for the same.
  • You authorise us to take such steps as we may consider expedient to enable us to hold your Authorised Investment in accordance with these Custody Terms and without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, we shall be authorised to:
  1. acquire, hold in custody, dispose of or otherwise deal with such Authorised Investments in accordance with these Custody Terms;
  • comply with all applicable laws, including any applicable law which impose or purport to impose on a holder of any Authorised Investment kept in custody with us a duty to make or refrain from making any payment of monies or other distribution or from taking any action in respect of such Authorised Investment;
  • register such Authorised Investment in your name or our name at our discretion and keep such Authorised Investment in such locations as we shall think fit; and
  • use the services of any agent for the purpose of holding in custody any Authorised Investment on such terms as we deem appropriate, and where appropriate, authorise such agent to delegate the performance of some or all of its duties.
  • You agree that any Authorised Investment held or registered in our name may, in our absolute discretion, be re-deposited with any agent as may be selected by us (whether in Singapore or elsewhere) for your account and at your sole risk. Provided that we have acted in good faith and used reasonable care in the selection and continued appointment of such agent, you agree that we shall not be responsible for any act, omission or default or for the insolvency of such agent.
  • Without prejudice to any provision in this Agreement, your Authorised Investments deposited with us or held by any third party in our name may be held on a tangible basis or commingled with assets belonging to other parties. You understand and agree that identification by distinctive numbers of any Authorised Investment owned by you may not be possible and that your interest in such Authorised Investments may not be identifiable by separate certificates or other physical documents or equivalent electronic records. In such case, we will maintain records of your interest in such Authorised Investments which have been commingled in the manner as provided herein. Neither us nor any agent holding any Authorised Investment on your behalf shall be bound to return to you the identical Authorised Investments deposited in custody so long as such Authorised Investments returned to you are of the same class, denomination, quantity and nominal amount and rank pari passu with those originally deposited with or transferred to us (subject always to any capital reorganisation in the meantime).
  • You acknowledge and agree that in the event of insolvency:
  1. of us licensed, registered or authorised in Singapore, your Authorised Investments will be segregated from our assets and investments and will not form part of the pool of assets available to our creditors.
  • of a sub-custodian licensed, registered or authorised in foreign jurisdictions, you may be exposed to additional risk as the laws and practices relating to custody accounts in those jurisdictions may offer different or diminished investor protection. Such differences may affect your ability to recover the Authorised Investments deposited in the Custody Account.
  • The provision of Services set out in these Custody Terms does not constitute us as a trustee (other than a bare trustee) and we shall have no trust, fiduciary or other obligations in respect of any Authorised Investment kept in custody with us pursuant to these Custody Terms, save for those expressly provided for in these Custody Terms or as otherwise agreed in writing.
  • We will use the same care with respect to your Authorised Investments kept in custody with us as we use in respect of our own similar property, provided always that we are not required to maintain any insurance in respect of any Authorised Investment kept in custody with us pursuant to these Custody Terms.
  1. The Services to which these Custody Terms applies may be terminated by you or us in accordance with Clause 5 of the Terms and Conditions.
