  1. PLATFORM AND STRATEGY EXECUTION

 

  1. The Platform is the online interface through which you manage your Account, your preferences and personal data. In addition the Platform allows you to select a trading Strategy and gain detailed insight into the performance, keep track of the Trades performed and associated costs. Also the Platform allows you to invite others and read and comment on messages. The function of the Platform is to automate the execution of Trades in your Crypto Wallet, based on the chosen trading Strategy. 
  2. To use our services, it is your responsibility to select a Trading Strategy(ies) provided by our Platform. The Strategy determines the Trades in your Crypto Wallet.
  3. After selecting and confirming a Strategy, you give us the right to perform Trades with the entire amount of crypto assets available for trading in your Crypto Wallet.
  4. You understand and accept that you do not consider the execution of the Strategy as the transfer of control of your Crypto Wallet to us.
  5. The trading Strategies provided are optimized to achieve the desired portfolio with the least number of Trades and consequently keep the transaction costs as low as possible. Every trading Strategy is based on specific methodology and market intelligence and has been developed with the greatest care and to the best capability. Strategies could also be provided by third parties. 
  6. You should be aware that for every trading Strategy (small) differences could show up between the selected Strategy and actual portfolio in your Crypto Wallet. This is unavoidable as it happens as a result of the large number of discretionary calculation variables involved such as differences in timing, changes in price, previous asset distribution, and optimizing on low transaction costs.
  7. At any time you may invoke a rebalance by manually depositing, withdrawing or transferring crypto assets in or out of your Crypto Wallet. Doing so will not affect the Strategy, but it will initiate new Trades to keep your Crypto Wallet in sync with the selected Strategy. 
  8. The Platform allows you to update or change your desired trading Strategy. You may change Strategy as often as you like. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for selecting the trading Strategy and are obliged to pay for the third party transaction cost incurred and the monthly Fees.
  9. You agree that Trades performed as a result of the chosen Strategy are final and cannot be reversed.
  10. If you decide to initiate Trades yourself, while your Account and the Strategy are active, you are effectively nullifying the Strategy. If you do this, the Strategy will override your actions and rollback the Trades that you have initiated yourself. 
  11. You understand and agree that at any time you remain solely responsible for all transactions regarding your Crypto Wallet, including amongst other things transaction costs, tax consequences and legal obligations.  
  12. We continuously update and improve the content of the Platform and/or Strategy. We therefore reserve the right to change the content and/or Strategies of the offered Platform and/or terminate Strategies at any time without prior notice. We will use the internal messaging function to inform you on the relevant updates and information.



  1. PAYMENT 

 

  1. Fees will be charged monthly and depend on the Wallet Value and the trading Strategy selected. 
  2. Fees can be calculated based on Wallet Value or performance or a combination of both.

  4. Fees are assumed to include VAT (when applicable) and billed in USD. You can pay using every method of payment permitted by us.
  5. Fees do not include transaction costs for Trades performed by your Crypto Wallet provider. The transaction costs are visible in your Account. These costs will be settled automatically within your Crypto Wallet. 
  6. Every user will receive a monthly invoice, detailing the costs of using the service of the past month. Small Fees may be waived. 
  7. If you are entitled to credit fees that you earned by participating in our ambassador program or as a new user or by any other bounty program, these will be settled with your monthly invoice. This way, credit fees will result in a discount on your invoice.
  8. For paying your invoice, we provide multiple payment methods. We may decide to add or remove alternative payment methods. Detailed records showing daily costs and calculation of the monthly fees, are available in the ‘billing dashboard’ in your Account.
  9. The payment term is 14 days. If you fail to pay, we reserve the right to (temporarily) suspend your Account. Your Account will only become reactivated after receipt of the payment. During suspension your Crypto Wallet assets will stay as they are and your Account remain accessible to you, but no Trades will be performed and you will not be able to alter your Strategy. While your Account is suspended, you are still a customer and obliged to pay invoices. 
  10. If your Account is suspended and you are still not paying your invoice, despite the reminder(s), we reserve the right to terminate your Account and revoke your API keys. This cannot be undone. We will then transfer your file to a bailiff debt collector. 



  1. UNMANAGING, TERMINATION AND DEACTIVATION

 

  1. At any time you may set your Strategy to “unmanaged”, effectively canceling the ability for us to Trade on your behalf. We will stop any trading activity and your assets will stay as they are, unless you initiate trades yourself. You may resume the Strategy by changing the setting in your Account to “managed”. Resulting in a rebalance of your Crypto Wallet in line with the latest setting of the selected Strategy, regardless of the Trades that were performed in the meantime. 
  2. While your Strategy is “unmanaged”, you will still be charged Fees, but only for the month in which you decide to set your Strategy to “unmanage”. The Fee will be calculated based on the last known balance before turning your Strategy into “unmanaged”. 
  3. At any time you change your Strategy back from “unmanaged”  to “managed”, fees will be recalculated based on the first day of that month. 
  4. At any time you may decide to terminate your Account by letting us know. We do not consider disabling your API key as a termination of your Account. By terminating your Account, you will be charged until the day of termination. 
  5. After termination, you are not entitled to a refund for any prepaid Fees or credit fees.
  6. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account at any time without notice to the extent possible. We will inform you via email on the reason of termination. Valid termination reasons are, but not limited to:
