A list of digital assets that the Company supports on the Platform is available on the website. The Company may discontinue or suspend support for any digital asset at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion, including due to changes in a given digital assets characteristics or due to compliance with laws or regulations.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to use your XBTO Account to transfer or store digital assets in any form that is not supported by the Company. The Company assumes no responsibility or liability in connection with any attempt to use XBTO Account for digital assets that the Company does not support.
Upon being granted access to such services via your XBTO Account, you will have the ability to transfer, trade, convert, track and store supported digital assets by giving instructions through the Platform (each such transaction, a “Digital Asset Transaction“) in connection with your XBTO Account.
The Company reserves the right to refuse to process or to cancel any pending Digital Asset Transaction in its discretion, which may be due to compliance with laws and regulations or in response to a court order, subpoena, other government order or to enforce transaction limits or for risk management purposes. The Company cannot reverse a Digital Asset Transaction which has been broadcast to a digital asset network.
You assume full responsibility and liability for any loss resulting from intentional or unintentional misuse of your XBTO Account, including, without limitation, any loss resulting from (i) depositing one type of digital asset to a wallet intended for another type of digital asset, regardless of whether the relevant digital asset network confirms the applicable Digital Asset Transaction; (ii) depositing a digital asset into an address that you did not intend; (iii) inserting incorrect transaction information into the Platform. The Company assumes no responsibility or liability in connection with any of the foregoing.
YOUR XBTO ACCOUNT AND ANY OTHER ACCOUNT YOU MAY HAVE WITH US (AND ANY DIGITAL ASSETS HELD IN SUCH ACCOUNT) IS NOT A BANK ACCOUNT OR A DEPOSIT ACCOUNT. NO INTEREST WILL BE PAID ON ANY DIGITAL ASSETS YOU USE TO PURCHASE OR TRADE FOR ANY OTHER DIGITAL ASSET WITH OTHER USERS, AND ALL DIGITAL ASSETS DIRECTLY HELD BY US ARE NOT INSURED BY US OR ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY. PLEASE NOTE, THE ACCOUNT IS NOT FDIC OR SIPC INSURED. YOU ARE POTENTIALLY SUBJECT TO THE CREDIT RISK OF THE COMPANY.
For any supported digital asset on our Platform, the Company processes Digital Asset Transactions according to the instructions received from its users and we do not guarantee the identity of any receiver of digital assets. You should verify all transaction information prior to submitting instructions to the Company. We recommend transferring small amounts from one account to another to confirm that you have the correct address. A Digital Asset Transaction will be unconfirmed for a period of time pending sufficient confirmation of the transaction by the digital asset network. A Digital Asset Transaction is not complete while it is in a pending state. Digital assets associated with transactions that are in a pending state will be designated accordingly, and will not be included in your XBTO Account balance or be available to conduct transactions. The Company may charge fees to process a Digital Asset Transaction on your behalf. You acknowledge that you will be responsible for paying any such fees out of your available proceeds. See section on Fees below for more details. The Company reserves the right to delay or cancel any Digital Asset Transaction if it perceives a risk of fraud or illegal activity, or otherwise within its discretion if we determine it is important for risk management.
The Company does not have any ability to prevent or mitigate attacks on any digital assets or their underlying protocols and networks. The Company reserves the right to take any actions in the event of an attack, as determined in its sole discretion, including but not limited to: (i) if the Company reasonably believes that a digital asset that it supports has been or may be compromised, or is or will be under attack, the Company may immediately halt trading, deposits, and withdrawals for such digital asset; and (ii) if it is determined that such an attack caused the digital asset to greatly decrease in value, the Company may discontinue trade activity on such digital asset partially or entirely. The Company does not have any obligation to engage in any activities in relation to attacks on any digital assets or their underlying protocols and networks. Resolutions for an attacked digital asset will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Company in its sole discretion.
WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DISPUTES AMONG OR BETWEEN USERS REGARDING ANY DIGITAL ASSET TRANSACTION. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY ORDER YOU PLACE WILL BE EXECUTED. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ONCE AN ORDER HAS BEEN EXECUTED, THE TRANSACTION IS LIKELY NOT TO BE REVERSIBLE.
The Company securely stores all digital asset private keys in our control in a combination of online and offline storage. As a result, it may be necessary for the Company to retrieve certain information from offline storage in order to facilitate a Digital Asset Transaction in accordance with your instructions, which may delay the initiation or crediting of such Digital Asset Transaction for a period of time, which period of time may be significant. You acknowledge and agree that a Digital Asset Transaction facilitated by the Company may be delayed for this reason.
You understand, acknowledge and agree that in the event that a third-party or software protocol attempts to or does distribute a digital asset, whether or not supported by the Company (often known as an “airdrop” or “bootstrap”) to certain wallet addresses, we will treat such airdropped digital asset as we would treat any other unsupported digital asset. You agree and understand that airdropped digital assets do not create a relationship between us and the transferor, sender and/or the related network that created the airdropped digital asset, and further, that we are not subject to any obligation as it may relate to the transferor, sender or related network.
Unless specifically announced on the Site or other official public statement of the Company, the term 'digital assets' when used in these Terms of Use excludes all other protocols and/or functionality which supplement or interact with such digital assets. This exclusion includes but is not limited to: colored coins, metacoins, side chains, or other derivative, enhanced, or forked protocols, tokens, or coins or other functionality, such as staking, protocol governance, and/or any smart contract functionality, which may supplement or interact with a digital asset that we support. If a digital asset is not supported, you may lose the asset with no opportunity to restore or regain such asset. Do not use your XBTO Account to attempt to request, receive, send, store, or engage in any other type of transaction or functionality involving any such protocol as the Company is not configured to detect, secure, or process these transactions and functionality. Any attempted transactions in such items will result in loss of the item. You acknowledge and agree that supplemental protocols are excluded from every digital asset and that the Companyhas no liability for any losses related to supplemental protocols.
The Company does not own or control any underlying software protocols which govern the operation of digital assets supported on the Platform. In general, the underlying protocols are open source and anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute them. By using the Platform, you acknowledge and agree (i) that the Company is not responsible for operation of the underlying protocols and that the Company makes no guarantee of their functionality, security, or availability; and (ii) that the underlying protocols are subject to sudden changes in operating rules (“forks”), and that such forks may materially affect the value, function, and/or even the name of the digital asset stored on the Platform. In the event of a fork, you agree that the Company may suspend our operations (with or without advance notice to you) and that the Company may, in its sole discretion, decide whether or not to support (or cease supporting) either branch of the forked protocol entirely. You acknowledge and agree that the Company assumes no responsibility in respect of an unsupported branch of a forked protocol.
Title to each digital asset in your XBTO Account transfers to Stablehouse upon placing your digital assets on the Platform. Stablehouse shall have no liability for fluctuations in digital assets. Stablehouse may pool digital assets placed by you on the Platform with other digital assets while they are on the Platform.
By using the Company’s services and platforms, you hereby grant Stablehouse the right to pledge, repledge, to sell, transfer, loan, hypothecate, or otherwise alienate digital assets and credit or debit your XBTO Account accordingly without prior notice to you and that by placing your digital assets with the Company you are subject to the credit risk of the Company. You further acknowledge and agree that you will not be entitled to any profits or proceeds earned by the Company from the use of digital assets on the Platform. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that in the event that there are outstanding amounts owed to us hereunder, including in your XBTO Account, Stablehouse reserves the right to debit your XBTO Account and/or to withhold amounts from funds you may transfer into such XBTO Account.
Digital assets held in your XBTO Account are protected by private keys owned by the Company. You may withdraw an equivalent amount of digital assets to those shown in your XBTO Account at any time to separate blockchain wallets which you control or other third party custodial services in your name.
You accept and understand that digital assets in your XBTO Account do not qualify for insurance and/or protection by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.
You acknowledge and agree that the Site may be subject to scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. You agree and understand that part of or all of the Company may be periodically unavailable during such times (collectively, "Downtime").

The Company is not responsible for those gains or losses resulting from the Downtime.
