6.

You are solely responsible for ensuring your API Keys are kept secure, confidential and are used in accordance with Applicable Laws. You may use the Binance Platform to generate multiple API Keys with varying levels of access and permissions.

7. You acknowledge that Binance is not responsible for any activity that occurs using any API Keys used or generated by you, including but not limited to unauthorised access to or use of your account, data breaches and/or loss of funds. You are solely responsible for any losses caused as a result of, or in connection with, but not limited to, any trading activity initiated through any API Keys used or generated by you.

8. You shall implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect the  API Keys against loss, theft, hack, and unauthorised disclosure or access, in each case, whether accidental or not. You must immediately report to Binance any loss or suspected or actual misuse of the API Keys.

9. By using API Keys, you authorise the programmatic instructions issued to Binance in accordance with the permissions granted by the API Keys. You acknowledge and agree that any actions or instructions performed using the API Keys are your sole responsibility, and that neither Binance nor any Binance Affiliates shall be liable for any losses or damages resulting from such actions or instructions.

10. You further acknowledge and agree that Binance will be entitled to assume that anyone who accesses the accounts using the API Keys assigned to you is authorised to do so on your behalf. You will be liable for any Instructions given and Transactions executed on the Binance Platform pursuant to the use of API Keys assigned to you, regardless of whether such Instructions were submitted by an authorised persons or otherwise. Binance may, acting reasonably, suspend an API Key if Binance has reason to believe that the security of your API Keys has been compromised. 

E. Risks

11. You acknowledge and agree that the use of API Keys carries certain risks and that you shall be responsible for ensuring the API Keys are not shared with any third parties with whom you do not wish to share access to and control of your Binance Account. For the avoidance of doubt, you agree that you shall treat your API Keys as a password and you agree to take adequate measures to ensure you do not disclose your API Keys inadvertently. You acknowledge and accept all risks and potential losses stemming from your use of the API Keys including but not limited to unauthorised access, data breaches, and loss of funds. Binance and Binance Affiliates shall not be liable for any losses or damages resulting from the use of API Keys. You are solely responsible for managing your API Keys and taking appropriate measures to protect your API Keys and Binance Account, including but not limited to the following:

    a. Only using an API Key for a single purpose or application.

    b. Not enabling unnecessary permissions for the API Keys.

    c. Not leaving unused API keys enabled and promptly deleting any and all unused API Keys.

    d. Using an IP address whitelist on all of your API Keys to prevent access from undesired IP addresses.

    f. Not storing your API Keys in cloud-based venues.

    g. Not sharing your API Keys with any third party with whom you do not wish to share control of your Binance Account.
