Stably Terms of Service

  1. Acceptance of the Terms of Service

The following Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of: (a) our proprietary platform that facilitates the issuance/redemption of blockchain-based US Dollar-backed tokens which are referred to as “Stably USD,” (formerly “StableUSD,” also known as “USDS,” or any other branded cryptographic tokens developed by Stably as a white-label stablecoin for our clients, collectively “USDS“), the issuance/redemption of Stably-branded wrapped tokens, as well as the buying/selling of other cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and non-fungible tokens (together with Stably USD and USDS, the “Digital Assets”), in exchange for another Digital Asset or real US dollars (“USD”); (b) any blockchain wallet made available through the Stably Platform for the storage of fiat currencies and Digital Assets (the “Wallet”); (c) all versions of the Stably Prime (“Stably Prime”) plus Stably Ramp (“Stably Ramp”) solutions, and (d) all other products or services provided by us to you in connection with the foregoing (the services and products described in (a)-(d) collectively, the “Stably Platform” or “Platform”). These Terms of Service form an agreement between Stably Corporation (“Stably,” “Company,” “Technology Service Provider”) plus Stably Trading LLC (“Stably MSB,”  and together with Stably, Company, and Technology Service Provider, “us,” “we,” “our”), and you. The term “you,” “user,” “client,” and “account holder” refer to the person or entity accessing or otherwise using the Stably Platform (“use” or “using” in these Terms of Service will mean any of the foregoing). By using the Platform, or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Service when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, do not access or use the Platform or the Stably Platform.

Stably is a blockchain and financial technology service provider, not a bank, with a registered address at 16192 Coastal Highway, Lewes, Delaware 19958, USA. Stably MSB, a wholly owned subsidiary of Stably, is a FinCEN-registered money service business (MSB) with registration number 31000219855769 and a registered address at 10 East Pearl Avenue, Suite 200, Jackson, Wyoming 83001, USA. Stably provides technology and services to both Stably MSB and Prime Trust, a Nevada state-chartered trust company with license number TR10035 and a registered address at 330 South Rampart Boulevard, Suite 260, Las Vegas, Nevada 89145, USA. Prime Trust is also registered as a money transmitter in various states. The full list is available here.

Blockchain-connected products and services offered by Stably and Stably MSB are built on top of our FI Partner’s infrastructure via manual and automated integrations, leveraging its services including (but not limited to) traditional and digital asset custody, virtual currency exchange, payments, escrow, trust services, convertible virtual currency (CVC) administration—as defined by FIN-2013-G001—and compliance services. Prime Trust is not an FDIC-insured institution but it works with FDIC-insured custodian banks to hold customer fiat funds (for more information about Prime Trust’s banking relationships, please click here). Digital assets held by Prime Trust are not FDIC-insured. 

  1. Stably Services

2.1 Issuance and Redemption of USDS

USDS TOKENS ARE NOT MONEY OR LEGAL TENDER AND SHOULD NOT BE TREATED AS SUCH.

a. The Stably Platform provides a technology interface for end users to onboard/open accounts with us and our FI Partner as well as assist our FI Partner in their issuance and redemption of USDS tokens.

b. USDS is a multi-chain, USD-backed stablecoin and every USDS token is fully collateralized by USD. Stably utilizes blockchain-based tokenization technology, including smart contracts, and a trust account held and managed by Prime Trust for the benefit of USDS token holders (“FBO Account”) to ensure 1-to-1 parity for USD to USDS via direct redemption of USDS for USD held by Prime Trust at FDIC-insured banks. Prime Trust is the CVC administrator and Issuer of USDS. At the instruction of Prime Trust, Stably affects the issuance (minting) of USDS tokens when USD is deposited into the FBO Account, as well as the destruction (burning) of USDS tokens when USD is redeemed/disbursed from the FBO Account. This ensures that the number of USDS tokens in circulation and the amount of USD held in trust by our FI Partner are equal. The FBO Account holdings are also published periodically and may be subject to ongoing periodic attestations by a third-party attestor (click here for more information). USDS tokens do not earn interest, pay dividends, or generate any other type of earnings. All interest and earnings (or losses) generated by the FBO Account’s collateral assets belong to the Company and/or its FI Partner. Collateral assets held in the FBO Account for the benefit of USDS token holders are never used for lending and/or investment activities by us or our FI Partner.

c. To mint USDS tokens, a client must first open an account on the Stably Platform. Once they are logged in to the Platform, the client must submit their personal and financial information, including bank account information and a valid blockchain wallet address for receiving the USDS tokens to be minted. The client can then create a USDS token issuance/purchase request. We then forward this information and the request to our FI Partner. The FI Partner then screens the client’s information in accordance with their internal anti-money laundering (“AML”) procedures and “know your customer” (“KYC”) compliance program (“KYC/AML”). Upon approval of the request, the FI Partner will notify us, and we will notify the client to initiate a USD payment/deposit to the FBO Account held by our FI Partner. Upon receipt of funds, the FI Partner will authorize our blockchain-based tokenization technology to issue USDS tokens and send them to the client’s wallet address.

d. To redeem USDS tokens, a client must also have an existing account on our Platform. The client can then create a redemption request on our Platform. We will forward the request to our FI Partner. Upon approval of the request, we will notify the client to send their USDS tokens to a deposit address to be destroyed. Upon receipt of tokens, we will notify our FI Partner to initiate the USD payment to our client’s Stably Platform account held by our FI Partner or personal bank account.

e. USDS is issued natively on multiple blockchain networks, including (but not limited to): Ethereum, BNB Beacon Chain, Arbitrum, Stellar, Tezos, Chia, VeChainThor, Harmony, XRP Ledger, Polymesh, Coreum, STRATO Mercata, and more in the future. Non-native cross-chain USDS tokens issued by third-party token bridges may be available in the market but they are not sponsored/offered by Stably, Stably MSB, or our FI Partner.

f. Possession of tokens created by Stably does not guarantee redemption or exchange of the tokens for the underlying collateral by the Company or its FI Partner. The Company and its FI Partner reserve the right, in their discretion, to refuse issuance or redemption of tokens if such issuance/redemption could be unlawful or otherwise expose us or our FI Partner to liability, including (without limitation): if any act, conduct, transaction, omission, or misrepresentation, of the party requesting the issuance or redemption, violates, attempts to violate, causes, aids, or abets the violation of any applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, or regulations; is suspected or believed to have blocked property, frozen assets, or economic resources, or the proceeds of any crime, terrorist financing, or corruption related to any person or government official under any applicable laws; exposes the Company or its FI Partner to sanctions, restrictions, penalties, or reputational harm. The Company and its FI Partner also reserve the right to refuse to issue or redeem tokens upon receipt of any subpoena, order, or request from any government, government official, or law enforcement authority of competent jurisdiction.

2.2 Issuance and Redemption of Stably Wrapped Assets

a. The Stably Platform also provides a technology interface for end users to onboard/open accounts with us and our FI Partner as well as to assist Stably MSB in the issuances and redemptions of crypto-backed wrapped tokens, including (but not limited to) BTCS and ETHS (individually or collectively, the “Stably Wrapped Assets”).

b. Stably BTC (“Stably Wrapped Bitcoin” or “BTCS”) and Stably ETH (“Stably Wrapped Ethereum” or “ETHS”) are cross-chain wrapped tokens fully collateralized by Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), respectively. Stably utilizes blockchain-based tokenization technology, including smart contracts, and Prime Trust collateral accounts managed by Stably MSB for the benefit of token holders to create 1-to-1 parity to BTC (for BTCS) or ETH (for ETHS) via direct redemption of each respective collateral held at Prime Trust. Stably MSB is the CVC administrator and Issuer of all Stably Wrapped Assets. At the instruction of Stably MSB, Stably affects the issuance (minting) of a Stably Wrapped Asset when the corresponding cryptocurrency is deposited into the relevant Stably MSB collateral account, as well as the destruction (burning) of a Stably Wrapped Asset when the corresponding cryptocurrency is redeemed/disbursed from the relevant Stably MSB collateral account. This ensures that the number of Stably Wrapped Asset tokens in circulation and the amount of corresponding cryptocurrency held as collateral by Stably MSB at our FI Partner are equal. The collateral accounts’ holdings are also published periodically and may be subject to ongoing periodic attestations by a third-party attestor (for more information, click here). Stably Wrapped Asset tokens do not earn interest, pay dividends or generate any other type of earnings. All interest and earnings (or losses) generated by the collateral accounts’ assets belong to the Company. Collateral assets held for the benefit of Stably Wrapped Asset token holders are never used for lending and/or investment activities by us and our FI Partner. 

c. To mint a Stably Wrapped Asset, a client must first open an account on the Stably Platform. Once they are logged in to the Platform, the client must submit their personal and financial information, including bank account information and a valid blockchain wallet address for receiving the Stably Wrapped Asset to be minted. The client can then create a Stably Wrapped token issuance/purchase request. We then forward this information and the request to Stably MSB and our FI Partner. Stably MSB and the FI Partner then screen the client’s information in accordance with their internal KYC/AML compliance program. Upon approval of the request, Stably MSB will notify us, and we will notify the client to initiate a deposit of the corresponding cryptocurrency to the collateral account managed by Stably MSB at Prime Trust. Upon receipt of funds, Stably MSB will authorize our blockchain-based tokenization technology to issue the Stably Wrapped Asset and send it to the client’s wallet address.

d. To redeem a Stably Wrapped Asset, a client must also have an existing account on our Platform. The client can then create a redemption request on our Platform. We will then forward the request to Stably MSB. Upon approval of the request, we will notify the client to send their Stably Wrapped Asset to a deposit address to be destroyed. Upon receipt of tokens, we will notify Stably MSB to initiate a disbursement of the corresponding cryptocurrency from the Prime Trust collateral account to our client’s wallet address.

e. BTCS and ETHS are issued on the Chia blockchain and support for more chains is being planned for the future. Cross-chain Stably Wrapped Asset tokens issued by third-party token bridges may be available in the market but they are not sponsored/offered by Stably, Stably MSB, or our FI Partner.

f. Possession of tokens created by Stably does not guarantee redemption or exchange of the tokens for the underlying collateral by the Company or its FI Partner. Please refer to Section 2.1(f) for more information.

2.3 Stably Prime and Stably Ramp

a. Stably Prime, accessible at prime.stably.io,  is a self-directed custodial account that enables the account holder to custody USD and Digital Assets, deposit, disburse or transfer USD and Digital Assets, buy or sell Digital Assets, trade Digital Assets over-the-counter (“OTC”), and issue or redeem USDS tokens. USD and Digital Assets in a Stably Prime account are held by Prime Trust for the benefit of the account holder. All Digital Asset buy and sell transactions via Stably Prime are settled in the user’s account by Prime Trust. USDS tokens are issued directly to the user’s personal wallet and USDS redemptions are settled as USD in the user’s account by Prime Trust. 

b. Stably Ramp, accessible at ramp.stably.io, is a fiat-to-crypto onramp application with a self-directed USD custodial wallet that enables the account holder to custody, deposit, and disburse USD, buy or sell Digital Assets, and issue or redeem USDS tokens. USD deposited in a Stably Ramp wallet are held by Prime Trust for the benefit of the user. Stably Ramp does not support Digital Asset custody. All Digital Assets purchased via Stably Ramp, including USDS token issuances, are settled directly to the user’s personal wallet by Prime Trust or Stably MSB. USD received from selling Digital Assets can be settled in the user’s Stably Ramp wallet or disbursed to their personal bank account by Prime Trust.

c. Purchase transactions may be provided through either Prime Trust (Flow A) or Stably MSB (Flow B)—whoever has better market rates. USD funds for Flow A transactions are exchanged directly for Digital Assets and disbursed to the user’s wallet by Prime Trust. USD funds for Flow B transactions are first converted to USDS via Prime Trust, then exchanged for Digital Assets and disbursed to the user’s wallet by Stably MSB.

d. Sell transactions may be provided by either Prime Trust (Flow X) or LI.FI (Flow Y), a cross-chain bridge and decentralized exchange aggregator—whoever has better market rates. Digital Assets for Flow X transactions are exchanged directly for USD and disbursed to the user’s bank account by Prime Trust. Digital Assets for Flow Y transactions are first exchanged for USDS via LI.FI, then converted to USD and disbursed to the user’s bank account by Prime Trust.

e. By using our Platform, you acknowledge that sending funds to LI.FI or any decentralized application (DApp) and blockchain network comes with inherent risks. DApps operate on decentralized blockchain networks and are not controlled by any central authority. As a result, the risk of loss or theft of assets due to vulnerabilities in the DApp’s smart contract code, hacking attempts, or technical glitches cannot be entirely eliminated. If your transaction is routed through LI.FI, you are also agreeing to LI.FI’s terms and conditions (click here for more information).

f. When we are unable to process your transaction on the Platform or when the funds received exceed your limit, the fiat balance will be credited to a custodial account in your name at Prime Trust. The digital asset balance may be credited to either your personal wallet or a custodial account in your name at Prime Trust. Please contact support@stably.io for assistance with failed transactions.

g. Once submitted, your purchase/sell transaction on the Platform will be immediately processed. All processed transactions are final and cannot be canceled or reversed. Using an incorrect wallet address may result in irreversible loss of funds. Please double-check your address before purchasing/sending digital assets. Processed blockchain-based transactions are final and cannot be canceled/reversed.

h. Third-party integrators (the “Integrators”) such as wallets, decentralized applications (dApps), and Web3 projects may request to incorporate Stably Ramp into their user interfaces at partnerships@stably.io. Prospective Integrators must first apply to go through a review process with Stably’s internal compliance team. Once approved, the authorized Integrator may incorporate Stably Ramp into their user interfaces via our iFrame, API, and/or SDK. Any unauthorized Integrator that incorporates Stably Ramp into their user interface without our permission is considered in breach of these Terms of Service.

i. The Platform’s fees, which are inclusive of our FI Partner’s fees, are outlined in our fee schedule (for more information, please click here). The Platform’s fees may be applied differently for certain types of account holder or certain types of transactions from time to time at our own discretion.

j. All fiat funds processing, CVC administration/issuance/redemption, and asset custody services for Stably Prime and Stably Ramp are provided by Prime Trust. Virtual currency exchange services are provided by Prime Trust, Stably MSB, or LI.FI. USD funds are held by Prime Trust at FDIC-insured banks and Digital Assets are held by Prime Trust. Prime Trust may have additional terms and conditions applicable to their services, including the use of third-party service providers. Those terms and conditions may be reviewed here.

k. Stably MSB is an OTC Digital Asset dealer on the PrimeX network (“PrimeX”), Prime Trust’s internal 24/7 settlement network for USD and Digital Assets. Stably MSB, via its OTC desk, provides large-volume crypto-to-crypto exchange services to verified institutional users of the Platform. OTC clients are required to settle the first leg of each OTC trade and upon receipt of the client’s Digital Asset, Stably MSB shall settle the second leg of the trade same day or next day via another Digital Asset or USDS (which can be redeemed for USD through the Stably Platform). To request an OTC trade with Stably MSB, please email otc@stably.io.

As a result, all USDS token issuance and redemption requests submitted to the Stably Platform will be forwarded to and processed by our FI Partners. The Company does not make any decision to issue/redeem or authorize the issuance/redemption of USDS tokens. All token issuances and redemptions require approval/authorization from our FI Partner, the USDS token’s CVC administrator and Issuer. In addition to CVC administration, our FI Partner also provides virtual currency exchange, funds processing, custody, compliance, and tax reporting services to users of the Stably Platform in a majority of US states as well as globally.

Accordingly, Stably, Stably MSB, and our FI Partner insist on a comprehensive and thorough customer due diligence process and implementation as well as ongoing analysis and reporting. This includes monitoring of and for suspicious transactions and mandatory reporting to international regulators.

The FI Partner may also refuse registration to, or bar transactions from or to, anyone from, resident in, or transacting to a country subject to UN, US, Canadian or other applicable economic sanctions. In lieu of refusing registration, we may perform enhanced customer due diligence procedures at the sole discretion of Stably, Stably MSB, or the applicable FI Partner. At all times, you may be subject to enhanced customer due diligence procedures in your use of the Platform and any related service.

Stably MSB, our FI Partner and all other regulated financial institutions and money transmission partners of Stably reserve the right to prohibit specific blockchain wallet addresses from accessing the Platform, receiving USDS tokens, or transferring USDS tokens if properly directed to do so by law enforcement or a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company and Stably MSB will cooperate with applicable law enforcement and regulatory authorities where it is required to do so and will share information if there are grounds to believe that USDS and/or the Platform is being used for illegal purposes.

Stably MSB, our FI Partner and all other regulated financial institutions and money transmission partners of Stably reserve the right to prohibit specific cryptocurrency exchanges from accessing the Platform, receiving/disbursing USDS and/or Digital Assets, or exchanging USDS and/or Digital Assets if the exchange has not been pre-approved by the Company or the Company or Stably MSB is properly directed to do so by law enforcement or a court of competent jurisdiction. The FI Partner reserves the right to restrict or prohibit the listing or trading of USDS on any exchange in its sole and absolute discretion. Any exchange that lists USDS represents and warrants to the Company that by doing so it is duly organized, registered, licensed, and shall comply with all applicable laws and rules in every jurisdiction in which it operates.

Furthermore, any exchange listing USDS represents and warrants to the Company that by doing so it has AML and CFT controls meeting the requirements in every jurisdiction in which it operates. The Company will make reasonable efforts to notify and inform exchanges in advance of any such restriction or prohibition, unless the Company is prohibited from doing so by law or under an order from a court of competent jurisdiction or authority.

  1. Changes to these Terms of Service and Stably Platform

Except where prohibited by applicable law, we reserve the right to change these Terms of Service at any time without notice. Your continued access to or use of the Stably Platform after any changes to these Terms of Service indicates your acceptance of such changes. It is your responsibility to review these Terms of Service regularly. We reserve the right to change the Stably Platform at any time, without notice.

  1. Accessing the Stably Platform

a. We reserve the right to amend the Platform, and any service or material we provide on the Platform, in our sole discretion without notice. This includes, but is not limited to, replacing or upgrading the existing blockchain-based tokenization technology, and expanding or deprecating USDS on a new or existing blockchain, respectively. In the event that USDS is deprecated on an existing blockchain, subject to the terms and conditions herein, USDS holders may still redeem their tokens on that blockchain for USD via the Platform but new token issuances shall be disabled.

b. Should the Ethereum blockchain or any blockchain we issue USDS or Stably Wrapped Assets on fork (“Fork”), we reserve the right to select the new fork (“Forked Network”) based on factors that include, but are not limited to, community adoption and long-term viability. In the event of a Fork, USDS or Stably Wrapped Assets that are not on the chosen Forked Network will not be valid for any purpose and shall be frozen. For more information on Forks, please refer to Section 25(c).

c. In order to access the Platform’s services, you must be a verified customer of the Company and Stably MSB or the FI Partner, as applicable. You must create an account on the Platform and pass any bank verifications and KYC/AML validation requirements that we, Stably MSB, or our FI Partner require.

All information you enter into the Platform is governed by our Privacy Policy.

d. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Stably Platform available to you in accordance with these Terms of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, Stably MSB, and the FI Partner reserve the right to deny access to the Platform to anyone or cancel an account for any reason, including (but not limited to) violations of our Terms of Service, applicable laws and/or regulations, or engaging in any prohibited uses, or for scheduled maintenance, or to address any emergency security concerns and at any time, at our sole discretion. If we terminate your account for any reason, we’ll provide you with notice of our actions and make any unrestricted USDS available for redemption, as allowed by law.

e. The FI Partner reserves the right to prohibit token issuance and redemption requests if the total amount submitted is less than $20 USD per transaction. The Company may reduce this minimum amount in the future in coordination with our FI Partner.

  1. Account Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information, as well as any and all activities that occur under your account. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account and any other such security breach. We will not be liable for any loss that may occur as a result of someone else using your account or password, with or without your knowledge. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

Furthermore, to minimize loss and damages arising out of potential cyberattacks, account breaches and fraud, we reserve the right to place and adjust upper limits on transaction amounts. For example, if there is an immediate or potential risk of an account hack on our Platform or other Platforms of similarly situated companies are known to be under cyber or internal company security or account breaches, we may take immediate action, including (but not limited to) limiting all or select buy/sell orders to, for example, $100 USD per transaction.

  1. Assumption of Risk; No Advice; Authorized Exchanges Only

Cryptocurrency markets are volatile and shift quickly in terms of liquidity, market depth, and trading dynamics. You are solely responsible and liable for your account on the Platform and for knowing the true status of your USDS even if the information on the Platform is displayed incorrectly. Nothing contained herein and on the Stably Platform shall be considered financial advice or recommendation to buy or sell any security, commodity, cryptocurrency, digital asset, or any other financial instrument or asset. Cryptocurrencies, digital assets, and investing have many risks, including the risk of losses beyond the principal investment or purchase amount. Past performance is not indicative of future results. You should be aware of all the risks associated with cryptocurrency and digital asset investing, purchasing, and transacting and seek advice from an independent licensed financial advisor.

Furthermore, USDS is officially listed for trading only on cryptocurrency exchanges that are authorized partners of Stably. To become an authorized exchange partner, the exchange operator must have KYC/AML/CFT programs and procedures in place as well as apply to go through a review process with Stably’s internal compliance team. Once approved, the authorized exchange partner may list USDS for trading. Any unauthorized exchange that lists USDS without our permission is considered in breach of these Terms of Service.

If you operate a cryptocurrency exchange and wish to list USDS for trading, please contact exchanges@stably.io to learn more.

b. Waiver: Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Service will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. A waiver of any provision of these Terms of Service must be in writing, and a waiver in one instance will not preclude enforcement of such provision on other occasions.

f. Taxes and Fees: You are solely liable for all the taxes and fees resulting from the use of the Platform. These Terms of Service alone do not create a joint venture, partnership, or principal-agent relationship between you, the Company and our FI Partner, or any other users, and nothing in these Terms of Service may be used to imply such a relationship. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold the Company and our FI Partner harmless from any liability for, or assessment of, any claims or penalties with respect to such taxes, labor, or employment requirements, including any liability for, or assessment of taxes imposed on the Company or our FI Partner by the relevant taxing authorities with respect to any fees paid to you as the result of using the Platform.

  1. Considerations When Using Our Services

You understand, accept, and agree to assume all of the various risks involved in using, holding, buying, selling, delivering, transacting, and transferring Digital Assets and the use of the Stably Platform, including all of the risks set forth in this Section 25.

a. General Risks: All transactions involving Digital Assets involve certain risks. In this regard, once submitted to a blockchain network, such a transaction will be unconfirmed for a period of time pending sufficient confirmation of the transaction by the blockchain network. A transaction is not complete while it is in a pending state. Any Digital Asset transfers to and from external wallet addresses that are in a pending state will be designated accordingly, and the relevant Digital Asset will not be included in your Digital Asset Wallet or be available to conduct transactions.

The risk of loss in holding Digital Assets can be substantial. You should, accordingly, carefully consider whether holding Digital Assets is suitable for you in light of your financial situation and risk tolerance. In considering whether to hold Digital Assets, you should be aware that the price or value of Digital Assets can change rapidly, decrease, and potentially even fall to zero. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. If you use the Stably Platform which allows you and/or third parties to access and hold Digital Asset private keys, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for safeguarding such keys and that we are not responsible for any loss of Digital Assets resulting from theft, loss, or mishandling of Digital Asset private keys outside our control. We are not responsible for the market of Digital Assets, and we make no representations or warranties concerning the real or perceived value of Digital Assets as denominated in any quoted currency. Although we may provide historical and/or real-time data regarding the price of Digital Assets, including graphs, price quotes, and other analytics displayed within the Stably Platform showing the price fluctuations of Digital Assets, such data or graphs are for reference only. We make no representations regarding the quality, suitability, veracity, usefulness, accuracy, or completeness of such data or graphs, and you should not rely on such data or graphs for any reason whatsoever. You understand and acknowledge that the value of Digital Assets can be volatile, and you agree that we are not in any way responsible or liable for any losses you may incur by holding or trading Digital Assets, even if the Stably Platform were delayed, suspended, or interrupted for any reason.

Neither your Stably Ramp nor Stably Prime account is a depository account. Funds stored in your Stably Ramp or Stably Prime account(s) do not earn any interest and are not protected by any government-backed depositor compensation, insurance or guarantee scheme, unless otherwise expressly stated.

b. Digital Asset Volatility Risk: The price of crypto assets and crypto asset markets have historically been subject to significant volatility. The price and trading volume of any crypto asset is subject to significant uncertainty and volatility, depending on a number of factors, including but not limited to market conditions and sentiment, changes in liquidity, Forks, the activities of other market participants, general economic environment, public perception, technical and technological constraints, and regulation.

There is no assurance that any supported Digital Asset will maintain its value or that there will be meaningful levels of trading activities.

c. Technology and Security Risks: You agree and understand that the underlying protocols of the Digital Assets’ networks are subject to Forks which may result in more than one version of Forked Networks. If a Fork occurs, it may result in the creation of a new Digital Asset (the “New Forked Asset”) related to an existing Digital Asset (the “Prior Asset”). You further agree and understand that Forks may materially affect the value, function, and/or name of the Prior Assets and other Digital Assets you hold on the Stably Platform and that the New Forked Asset may have minimal or no value. In the event of a Fork, we may temporarily suspend the Stably Platform (with or without advance notice to you) and we may determine, in our sole discretion, whether or not to support the Forked Network(s). In the event that we decide not to support any such Forked Network (“Unsupported Forked Network”), the Digital Assets offered by such Unsupported Forked Network will not be made available to you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may, in our sole discretion and subject to Applicable Law, obtain and retain the Digital Assets offered by such Unsupported Forked Network as property belonging solely to Stably. You acknowledge the risks presented by Forks and hereby accept that we have no responsibility for any losses or damage arising as a result of an Unsupported Forked Network. You understand, acknowledge and agree that you have no right, claim, or interest in, or with respect to, any New Forked Asset. If we do not support a New Forked Asset, you may not be able to withdraw or otherwise use or access the New Forked Asset promptly or at all, and you may lose any value associated with such New Forked Asset. If we determine not to support a New Forked Asset, we may, in our sole discretion, obtain and retain the New Forked Asset as property belonging to us.

WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER, NOR DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO INFLUENCE, THE CREATION OR IMPLEMENTATION OF A FORK OR OF ANY NEW FORKED ASSET. WE CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCES ABOUT THE SECURITY, FUNCTIONALITY OR SUPPLY OF ANY DIGITAL ASSET, INCLUDING BOTH THE NEW FORKED ASSET AND THE PRIOR ASSET. YOU UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE ASSUME NO LIABILITY RELATING TO ANY CHANGE IN THE VALUE OF ANY DIGITAL ASSET (WHETHER OR NOT RESULTING FROM A FORK). YOU UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT A FORK COULD CONSTITUTE A FORCE MAJEURE EVENT BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL, WHICH COULD AFFECT THE VALUE OF YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS, AND THAT STABLY DOES NOT ASSUME ANY LIABILITY FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM SUCH EVENTS.

d. Other Technology and Security Risks: A significant disruption in Stably’s products or services, in Stably’s information technology systems (including a system failure, outage, or interruption, both as to Stably or a third-party network), or in any of the blockchain networks that Stably supports, could affect your user experience and/or ability to access your account.

Digital Assets built on blockchain technology were only introduced in 2008 and remain in the early stages of development. In addition, different Digital Assets are designed for different purposes. The further growth and development of any Digital Assets and their underlying networks is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate.

There is risk of loss of Digital Assets in the event of disruptions, hacks, forks (i.e., a split in the underlying network(s), as described more fully below), and significant attacks such as a double spend or 51% attack. You acknowledge and understand that there is risk associated with third-party cyberattacks and security breaches, as well as breaches of privacy.

You acknowledge that you and your Digital Assets may be subject to scams and other types of fraud perpetrated by third parties outside of our control. It is your responsibility to beware and protect yourself against such fraud. There is a risk of loss of your Digital Assets and other assets in the event you are subject to such fraud.

All blockchain transactions include data, and in some circumstances, may include personal data about you. Many blockchain technologies store transaction data publicly and permanently. When you use such technology, you are intentionally making that transaction data public and acknowledge that the data cannot be deleted, removed, or reversed due to the nature of blockchain technology. 

e. Regulatory Risks: We are subject to an extensive and highly-evolving regulatory landscape, and any changes to any laws and regulations could adversely impact our ability to offer, and your use of and access to, the Stably Platform in your jurisdiction. Further, such changes could also impact your legal obligations with respect to your use of the Stably Platform.

In addition to existing laws and regulations, various governmental and regulatory bodies in the United States and in other countries may adopt new laws and regulations. The extent, scope, and effect of such new laws and regulations are difficult to predict.

f. Third-Party and Operational Risks: We currently rely on third-party Service Providers, including but not limited to Prime Trust and LI.FI, for certain aspects of our operations, including payment processors, banks, and payment gateways to process transactions; cloud computing services and data centers that provide facilities, infrastructure, website functionality and access, components, and services, including databases and data center facilities and cloud computing; as well as third parties that provide certain outsourced services and functions, all of which are critical to our operations. Because we rely on third parties to provide these services and to facilitate certain of our business activities, we face increased operational risks. Any interruptions in services provided by these third parties may impair our ability to support our customers and offer (or maintain) the Stably Platform.

We do not directly manage the operation of any of the third-party Service Providers we use, including their data center facilities and smart contracts that we use. These third parties may be subject to financial, legal, regulatory, and labor issues, cybersecurity incidents, break-ins, computer viruses, denial-of-service attacks, sabotage, acts of vandalism, privacy breaches, service terminations, disruptions, interruptions, and other misconduct. They are also vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error, power loss, telecommunications failures, fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic) and similar events. For example, on February 24, 2021, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s payments network experienced an outage, which had the potential to result in reduced functionality for certain of our products. In addition, these third parties may breach their agreements with us, disagree with our interpretation of contract terms or applicable laws and regulations, refuse to continue or renew these agreements on commercially reasonable terms or at all, fail or refuse to process transactions or provide other services adequately, take actions that degrade the functionality of our services, impose additional costs or requirements on us or our customers, or give preferential treatment to competitors.

There can be no assurance that third parties that provide services to us or to our customers on our behalf will continue to do so on acceptable terms, or at all. If any third parties do not adequately or appropriately provide their services or perform their responsibilities to us or our customers on our behalf, such as if third-party Service Providers to close their data center facilities without adequate notice, are unable to restore operations and data, fail to perform as expected, or experience other unanticipated problems, we may be unable to procure alternatives in a timely and efficient manner and on acceptable terms, or at all, and our ability to offer (or maintain)the Stably Platform may be adversely affected.

We rely on FI Partners and other payment processors, such as Prime Trust and WorldPay, to process customers’ payments in connection with the purchase of Digital Assets on our platform and we pay these providers fees for their services. From time to time, payment networks have increased, and may increase in the future, the interchange fees and assessments that they charge for transactions that use their networks. Payment networks have imposed, and may impose in the future, special fees on the purchase of Digital Assets, including on our platform, and we may be forced to pass such increases along to our customers.
