  • transfer from your bank account for top-ups of fiat currency; or
  • such other payment methods as we may provide on our Platform from time to time.

For top-ups of fiat currency by way of transfer from your bank account, your Collateral Wallet will not be credited with the top-up amount until after the bank transfer has cleared, usually within three (3) Business Days. Once received in our bank account, we will exercise commercially reasonable endeavours to credit your top-up funds into your Collateral Wallet by the next Business Day. If such funds have not been reflected in your Collateral Wallet after the next Business Day, please contact us by dropping us a support ticket with the details of your top-up request.

6.2 Provision of accurate deposit information. To top up your Collateral Wallet, you must follow our instructions properly and provide to us accurate information which we require to process the top up. If you fail to follow our instructions properly or fail to provide the correct information, then you may face delays in the crediting of the relevant Collateral into your Collateral Wallet. Additionally, you agree that we shall have the right to charge you additional fees for processing a top up request where inaccurate information has been provided to us. 

6.4 Top-up Minimum Amounts and/or Limits We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, impose minimum top-up amounts, and/or limits on the amount or types of Collateral you can top-up into your Collateral Wallet. Do note that where we receive any amounts which are less than the minimum top-up amounts and/or in excess of the top-up limits, we reserve the right not to credit such excess amounts to your Collateral Wallet, but instead withhold such amounts until you have transferred additional amounts to satisfy the minimum top-up amount, or withdrawn/ refund the excess amount.

Should you wish to top up Collateral into your Collateral Wallet exceeding the limits, please contact us. We will review your request on a case-by-case basis, and may (but we are not obliged to) increase your limits of such Collateral Wallet. 

6.5 Top-up fees and bank fees. We reserve the right to charge you a fee for top-ups of any amount to your Collateral Wallet, or pass on any fees charged to us by third-party service providers in connection with the funding of your Collateral Wallet.

Any fees imposed by your third-party service provider / token blockchain network will not be reflected on the transaction screens containing information regarding applicable fees. You are solely responsible for paying any fees imposed by a third-party service provider / token blockchain network on you. Bank fees charged to EXN in connection with transfers of funds to or from your Collateral Wallet are netted out of transfers to or from EXN. We will not process a transfer if associated bank fees or gas or network fees exceed the value of the transfer. You may be required to deposit additional Collateral to cover bank fees and/or gas or network fees if you desire to complete such a transfer.

6.6 Withdrawal Methods. You may withdraw your fiat currency in your Collateral Wallet through transfer to your bank account.

The Withdrawal Processing should be completed within three (3) Business Days.

6.8 Withdrawal Limits. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, impose minimum withdrawal amounts, and/or limits on the amount of Collateral you can withdraw from your Collateral Wallet. We may in our sole and absolute discretion restrict or prohibit the withdrawal of Collateral in your Collateral Wallet to your bank account(s) or external blockchain address, and/or impose a limit on the amount of Collateral that may be transferred from your Collateral Wallet to your bank account(s) or external blockchain address(es).

Depending on, among other things, the degree to which you have verified your Account, we may limit your ability to withdraw the Collateral in your Collateral Wallet to your bank account or external blockchain address. Additionally, we may delay withdrawals of large sums of Collateral from your Collateral Wallet while we perform a risk review.

Should you wish to withdraw Collateral from your Collateral Wallet exceeding the limits , please contact us. We will review your request on a case-by-case basis, and may (but we are not obliged to) increase your limits. 

6.9 Withdrawal Fees and gas or network fees. When withdrawing the Collateral in your Collateral Wallet, you will be charged the prevailing withdrawal fees. The fees for withdrawals may be adjusted by us from time to time in our sole discretion and without notice. Where gas or network fees are applicable for transfers of Collateral out of EXN, these fees will be deducted from Collateral remaining in your Collateral Wallet, unless there is insufficient Collateral remaining in your Collateral Wallet to cover the applicable gas or network fees, in which case the applicable gas or network fees will be deducted from the Collateral before the remaining Collateral is transferred to you.  

6.10 Request for Information / Verification. We may require you to furnish us with certain information before we will effect deposits or withdrawals of Collateral from your Collateral Wallet. We will not effect any such transfer or accept such deposits if you fail to provide us with the requisite information or do not satisfactorily pass our verification checks.

6.11 Availability of top-up, withdrawal and payment methods. The availability of any method of top-up, withdrawal or payment depends on a number of factors, including, without limitation, where you are located, the identification information you have provided to us, and limitations imposed by third party payment processors.

  • you acknowledge and agree that there is no assurance or guarantee that any Irrevocable Order and/or Transaction will be entered into, completed and/or settled. 

7.3 Transaction fees. Each purchase or sale of Assets is subject to a fee (a “Transaction Fee“). The applicable Transaction Fee will be displayed to you on the Platform prior to your Order confirmation and will be stated in the Order window on the Platform following your Order confirmation. We may adjust our Transaction Fees at any time. A full list of EXN’s fees can be found at https://exn.exchange/fees.

Transaction Fees are incurred immediately upon Order confirmation. Your Account balance on the Platform will reflect the amount in your Account net of the fees incurred and you authorise us to debit such amount of Transaction Fees from your Account based on our fee processing cycle. You acknowledge and agree that we will have a lien on the amount in your Account equal to the Transaction Fees incurred prior to our debiting such amount from your account. You also authorise us to convert any Collateral in your Account to fiat currency or such other asset as EXN may accept for payment of fees from time to time for payment of the Transaction Fees incurred by you. 

7.4 Transaction Minimum or Maximum Amounts. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion without prior notice to you, impose minimum and/or maximum amounts of Assets that you may purchase or sell. Do note that this may mean that you may hold balances of Assets which you will not be able to sell if such balances are less than the minimum transaction amount.

7.5 Order Availability. We shall have the right to suspend or restrict your ability to place Orders at any time for whatever reason (including, without limitation, if there is a lack of liquidity in the Assets that you wish to transact in) or no reason whatsoever. 

7.6 Processing Delays and Cancellation. While we strive to ensure that your Order, Irrevocable Order and/or Transaction would be processed as soon as practicable, there may be instances in which the processing of your Order, Irrevocable Order and/or Transaction is delayed or has to be cancelled due to whatever reason (including, without limitation, if there is any system, technical or operational issues that prohibits us from processing your Order, Irrevocable Order and/or Transaction) or no reason whatsoever. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable to you or any other person or entity for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business or opportunities), damages or costs by reason of, or arising from, or as a consequence of, any cancellation or delay in processing any Order, Irrevocable Order and/or Transaction.

7.7 Sending Digital Assets from your Collateral Wallet. You may send supported Digital Assets from your Collateral Wallet to supported blockchain addresses. We may in our sole and absolute discretion, without prior notice to you or any other Users, restrict or prohibit the transfer of Digital Assets from a Collateral Wallet to any blockchain address (including, without limitation, where such transfer is not in compliance with Applicable Laws), and/or impose a limit on the amount of Digital Assets that may be transferred from a Collateral Wallet to any blockchain address. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable to you or any other person or entity for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business or opportunities), damages or costs by reason of, or arising from, or as a consequence of, any such transfer restriction, prohibition or limit imposed by EXN.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the blockchain address that is receiving any transfer of Digital Assets supports such Digital Assets. If you attempt to send Digital Assets from your Collateral Wallet to a blockchain address that does not support such Digital Assets, your Digital Assets could be lost forever. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable to you or any other person or entity for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business or opportunities), damages or costs by reason of, or arising from, or as a consequence of, any transfer of Digital Assets to a blockchain address that does not support such Digital Assets.

Before we execute your Instruction to transfer Digital Assets from your Collateral Wallet, we may require you to authenticate and/or verify such Instruction via your registered email and/or your pre-selected form of multifactor authentication which we may make available to you from time to time. You agree to comply with all such requirements to authenticate and/or verify your Instructions.

7.8 Receiving Digital Assets into your Collateral Wallet. You may receive transfers of supported Digital Assets from supported blockchain addresses into your Collateral Wallet. We may in our sole and absolute discretion, without prior notice to you or any other Users, restrict or prohibit the transfer of Digital Assets to your Collateral Wallet from any blockchain address (including, without limitation, where such transfer is not in compliance with Applicable Laws), and/or impose a limit on the amount of Digital Assets that may be transferred from any blockchain address to your Collateral Wallet. Depending on the circumstances and Applicable Laws, we may at our sole discretion return the restricted or prohibited Digital Assets transferred to your Collateral Wallet back to the originating blockchain address. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable to you or any other person or entity for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business or opportunities), damages or costs by reason of, or arising from, or as a consequence of, (i) any such transfer restriction, prohibition or limit imposed by EXN; and/or (ii) any returning of the transferred Digital Assets back to the originating blockchain address or delays or failure in returning of the transferred Digital Assets back to the originating blockchain address.

Your Collateral Wallet may receive only certain types of Digital Assets that are supported by EXN. Under no circumstances shall you attempt to use your CollateralWallet to store, request or receive any Digital Assets that we do not support. If you or any third party attempts to send any such unsupported Digital Assets into your Collateral Wallet, such unsupported Digital Assets could be lost forever. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable to you or any other person or entity for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business or opportunities), damages or costs by reason of, or arising from, or as a consequence of, any transfer of unsupported Digital Assets to a Collateral Wallet.

If you do not receive in your Collateral Wallet any transfer of supported Digital Assets from a supported blockchain address within a reasonable time, your only recourse would be to contact the sender, and/or the party that operates the blockchain address from which the Digital Assets are to be sent. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable for the failure of any transfer of Digital Assets made from a blockchain address.

7.9 Irreversibility of Digital Assets transactions. You acknowledge and agree that Digital Assets transactions cannot be reversed once they have been broadcasted to the relevant Digital Asset blockchain network.

7.10 Network Fees. We may charge network fees (“Network Fees“) to send supported Digital Assets from your Collateral Wallet to a blockchain address on your behalf. We will calculate the Network Fees at our discretion, although we will notify you of the applicable Network Fees before you may authorise the sending of the Digital Assets.

When you or a third party sends supported Digital Assets to your Collateral Wallet from a blockchain address, the person initiating the Transaction is solely responsible for executing the Transaction properly, which may include among other things, the payment of Network Fees in order for the Transaction to be completed successfully. Non-payment of Network Fees or insufficient balance to pay Network Fees may cause your Transaction to remain in a pending state. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable for any delay or losses incurred as a result of any error in your initiation or such third party’s initiation of a Transaction and we have no obligation to assist in the remediation of such Transactions.

7.11 Request for Information. You agree to furnish us with any information that we may request from you before we will effect transfers of supported Digital Assets from your Collateral Wallet to a supported blockchain address and/or accept supported Digital Assets into your Collateral Wallets which have been sent from a supported blockchain address. We may in our sole and absolute discretion refuse to effect a transfer of, or accept, any Digital Assets if you fail to provide us with the requisite information.

For transfers of supported Digital Assets into your Collateral Wallet from a supported blockchain address, we may require the sender to provide us with certain information before we are able to accept such Digital Assets. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, decide to not to accept any Digital Assets if we fail to receive the requisite information from the sender.

7.12 Supported Assets. You acknowledge and agree that our Services are available to you only in connection with certain Assets that we support, and this may change from time to time.

7.13 Ending support of an Asset. We may in our sole and absolute discretion suspend or terminate our support for any Asset at any time. To the extent commercially reasonable in the circumstances, we will endeavour to provide you with prior written notice via email to the email address associated with your Account to announce the end of such support. If you do not sell or transfer away the relevant Assets from your Account before the date of suspension or termination of our support of such Assets, we reserve the right to sell and/or withdraw such Assets from your Account and credit your Collateral Wallet with the fiat currency value of the Assets at the time we effect the sale/withdrawal, less any fees that we may charge you in our sole and absolute discretion. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable to you or any other person or entity for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business or opportunities), damages or costs by reason of, or arising from, or as a consequence of, any such suspension or termination of our support for any Asset.

7.14 Asset title. Unless otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement (including, without limitation, any and all schedule(s) and addendum(s) to this Agreement), all Assets held in your Collateral Wallet are held by EXN on a custodial basis. Among other things, this means:

  • as the owner of Assets in your Collateral Wallet, you shall bear all risk of loss of such Asset. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons have any liability for fluctuations in the fiat currency value of Assets held in your Collateral Wallet;
  • at any time, subject to outages, downtime, Applicable Laws, these Terms and EXN’s policies, you may withdraw Digital Assets held in your Collateral Wallet by sending it to a supported blockchain address; and
  • in order to more securely hold Users’ Digital Assets, we may use shared blockchain addresses, controlled by us, to hold Digital Assets held on behalf of Users and/or held on behalf of us. Users’ Digital Assets are segregated from our own Digital Assets by way of separate ledger accounting entries for Users’ and our accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall not have any obligation to use different blockchain addresses to store Digital Assets owned by you and Digital Assets owned by other Users or by us.

  1. Risk Disclosures; Assumption of Risks; Release of EXN for risks relating to Assets

Trading Assets, and use of other Services provided by EXN, involves significant risks and potential for financial losses. Please read, understand and acknowledge the Risk Disclosure Statement which sets out a non-exhaustive list of risks applicable to such activities. 

You represent and warrant that you have (a) the necessary technical knowledge, expertise and ability to review and evaluate the security, integrity and operation of any Asset that you decide to acquire or trade; and (b) the requisite knowledge, experience, understanding, professional advice and information to make your own evaluation of the merits and risks of any Asset or Transaction. You accept the risk of trading Assets through the Platform, and are responsible for conducting your own independent analysis of the risks specific to the Assets and/or the Services. You should not acquire or transact in any Assets unless you have sufficient financial resources and can afford to lose the full value of the Assets. The risk of loss in trading Assets can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources.

EXN’s provision of the services for the transfer, storage or trading of any particular Asset  through the Services does not indicate EXN’s approval or disapproval of the Asset  or the integrity, security or operation of the Asset  or its underlying technology. 

If you do not understand the risks relating to any Assets or trading in Assets, you should consult an independent legal and/or financial adviser. If after obtaining appropriate legal and/or financial advice from a qualified professional, you still do not understand such risks, then you should refrain from using the Services. EXN does not provide any investment, legal, regulatory or any other form of advice, and does not owe any fiduciary or other duties to you in connection with your use of the Services. You are required to rely solely on your own judgment in using the Services. EXN does not make any assurance or warranty about the suitability of any Assets for trading or ownership by you. By using any of the Services, you represent and warrant to EXN that you are solely responsible and liable for any Transaction that you enter into through the Platform and/or the Services.
