    21. Disclosure of Risks
      1. These Terms and the holding of Cryptoassets relationships do not create a fiduciary relationship between you and us.
      2. Your account is not a current, savings or other type of account and therefore not covered by insurance against losses.
      3. Cryptocurrencies are not legal tender. AnchorExchange is not a depository, and your AnchorExchange account is not a current account. Cryptoassets in your account are not insured in any jurisdiction by any deposit insurance system or securities investor protection company.
      4. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at any level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of Cryptoassets. Transactions involving Cryptoassets may be irreversible and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or inadvertent transactions may not be recoverable. Any secured account we maintain for your benefit may not be sufficient to cover all losses you may have incurred.
      5. The value of your virtual currencies may result from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange virtual currencies for fiat or other virtual currencies. If such willingness is eliminated for any reason, it may result in a potential and complete loss of value of a particular virtual currency.
      6. The volatility and unpredictability of the price of virtual currencies may result in significant losses over a short period of time.
      7. The nature of Cryptoassets may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyberattacks, including rollback attacks or blockchain restructurings. This means that any technological difficulties AnchorExchange faces may prevent access to or use of your Cryptoassets and/or cause their loss. Although AnchorExchange takes precautions to protect against cyber threats, some circumstances may result in loss or damage.
      8. In light of these risks mentioned herein, which are only some of the risks associated with using the Services and holding or trading Cryptoassets and do not constitute an exhaustive list of such risks, you should carefully consider whether holding or investing through Cryptoassets in general and/or using the Platform suits you given your financial situation and awareness of the risks.

PART 2. INTEREST ACCOUNT

  1. DEFINITIONS OF INTEREST ACCOUNT

“AnchorExchange Interest Account” (hereinafter “Interest Account”) is an account for deposits in Cryptoassets that allows you to earn an annual percentage return on the listed Cryptoassets held in your Interest Account in accordance with these Terms. This is done through decentralized applications to which only you have access.

“Annual Percentage Return” (hereinafter “the APY”) means the real return earned on your Interest Account, taking into account the effects of compound interest.

  1. OPEN AN INTEREST ACCOUNT
    1. By opening an Interest Account, you agree that the terms and conditions contained herein will apply to your Interest Account.
    2. You hereby agree that these Terms shall apply to any existing Interest Account of yours maintained before, on or after the Effective Date.
    3. A list of available Cryptoassets that you must deposit on the Platform along with the APY is available in the Your Interest Account section after you log in.
    4. AnchorExchange reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove any portion of the listed Cryptoassets and change their prices at any time. It is your responsibility to check these listed Cryptoassets and rates regularly for changes. All accounts opened prior to the change will remain in effect on the original terms and conditions.
  2. FUNDING YOUR INTEREST ACCOUNT
    1. You can deposit funds to your Interest Account by transferring funds from your account at AnchorExchange or your account on websites of AnchorExchange’s partners to the deposit address.
    2. As of the date of these Terms and Conditions, the minimum deposit limits may change in accordance with the current limits in force on the Platform. These limits can be viewed accordingly for each currency prior to making a deposit.
    3. Deposit transactions will be processed immediately. You are entitled to place orders at any time; withdrawals are possible at any time on a daily basis.
    4. You reserve the right to make full or partial withdrawals at any time, depending on the term of the contract. Your interest will be calculated daily as long as funds are available in your interest account and accrued interest will be added to the account balance on the first day of the following month, or in the case of flexible savings, added to the account balance each day.
    5. In any case, you reserve the right to withdraw all of your funds depending on the term of the contract (Timelock) and leave your balance at a zero rate. The APY calculation and provision can be set at the time of withdrawal.
  3. HOW YOUR INTEREST IS ACCRUED
    1. Interest is accrued daily at 14:00 UTC on a compound basis on all interest accounts that have a non-zero basis.
    2. An APY accrual transaction will be created with a status of “Pending” to be executed on the first day of the following month.
  4. HOW IS INTEREST PAID?
    1. Compounded APY will be credited to your interest account on the first day of the month at 15:00 UTC or daily, depending on the contract.
    2. Accrued APY will be calculated after the decimal point of the cryptoassets in the same currency as the deposit and paid in two digits. Any digits beyond that will be truncated. Once APY is credited to your interest account, you will earn APY on it in the coming months.
  5. DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS
    1. You reserve the right to request deposits and withdrawals from your Interest Account to your Main Account at any time, but the operations will be carried out at the agreed time, as mentioned above. Accordingly, all incoming and outgoing transactions will be created with the status “Pending” and will remain in this status until the agreed time, and then they will be processed.
    2. You can have only one incoming and outgoing transaction related to a currency with the status “Pending”. If you try to create another one, you will receive an error message. To fix the situation, you need to cancel the pending transaction and create a new one under different conditions. There cannot be two pending transactions (one for input and one for output), only one of any type at a time.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE LIST OF PROPOSED SERVICES AND TO ADD OTHER SERVICES THAT MAY BE IN ADDITION TO THOSE MENTIONED HEREIN.
