RISK WARNING
As with any asset, the value of Crypto Assets can fluctuate significantly and there is a material risk of economic loss when buying, selling, holding or investing in Crypto Assets. You should therefore consider whether trading or holding Crypto Assets is suitable for you in light of your financial circumstances.
Further information on the risks associated with using the Binance Services is set out in our Risk Warning, which may be updated from time to time. You should read the Risk Warning carefully, however it does not explain all of the risks that may arise, or how such risks relate to your personal circumstances. 
It is important that you fully understand the risks involved before making a decision to use the Binance Services. By using Binance Services you agree and confirm that you have read and understood the Risk Warning, which forms part of these Terms, and that you knowingly accept the risks set out therein.
We are not your advisor and we have no fiduciary relationship or obligation to you in connection with any Transactions or other activities you undertake when using the Binance Services. We do not provide investment or consulting advice of any kind and no communication or information that we provide to you is intended as, or should be construed as, advice of any kind. 
It is your responsibility to determine whether any investment, investment strategy or related transaction is appropriate for you according to your personal investment objectives, financial circumstances and risk tolerance and you are solely responsible for any associated loss or liability. We do not recommend that any Crypto Asset should be bought, earned, sold or held by you. Before making the decision to buy, sell or hold any Crypto Asset, you should conduct your own due diligence and consult your financial advisor. We are not responsible for the decisions you make to buy, sell or hold Crypto Assets based on the information provided by us, including any losses you incur arising from those decisions.

If you owe us an amount in one Crypto Asset and do not have sufficient assets in that Crypto Asset, we may deduct the sums owed in another Crypto Asset to effect payment (in which case we will convert the Crypto Asset you hold into the Crypto Asset in which the sums owed to us are denominated (or the Fiat Currency equivalent), at the rate currently offered on the Platform or at such other commercially reasonable rate as we may determine). In the event that there are insufficient Crypto Assets in your Binance Account, you acknowledge that any amount due and payable from you under this clause 6.2 is a debt immediately due and owing by you to us in such amount and form (whether in the form of a Crypto Asset or otherwise) as we may determine, acting in a commercially reasonable manner and that debt may be deducted from you in accordance with the provisions of this clause 6.2 without notice to you.
Client Money. Fees charged in Fiat Currency will be held in a separate account from Client Money. Binance does not provide interest on Client Money.
Spread. In addition to our fees, we may also include a “spread” within our quoted Crypto Asset prices. Your continued use of the Binance Services constitutes your express consent to the application of such spread. 
Amending our fees. We may adjust our fees from time to time in accordance with clause ‎20 of these Terms.

All Binance Accounts are provided at our absolute discretion. We reserve the right to refuse any application for a Binance Account without reason or to limit the number of Binance Accounts that you may hold. 
Sole benefit. By opening a Binance Account you agree that:
where you are an individual user, you will use your Binance Account only for yourself, and not on behalf of any third-party, unless you have obtained our prior written consent; and
where you are a corporate user, your Permitted Users will use the Corporate Binance Account only for your benefit, and not on behalf of any third-party, unless our prior written consent has been obtained.
You are fully responsible for all activity that occurs under your Binance Account. 
Identity verification. You will need to comply with our identity verification procedures before you are permitted to open a Binance Account and access and use the Binance Services, by providing us with certain information about yourself and, where relevant, your Permitted Users. All information that you provide must be complete, accurate and truthful. You must update this information whenever it changes. 
You authorise us to make inquiries, whether directly or through third parties and without notice to you, that we consider necessary to verify your identity, and that of any Permitted Users, or protect you and/or us against fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing or other financial crime, and to take any action we deem necessary based on the results of such inquiries.
When we carry out inquiries, you acknowledge and agree that your personal information, and that of any Permitted Users, may be disclosed to identity verification, compliance data recordation, credit reference, fraud prevention, or financial crime agencies without notice to you, and that these agencies may respond to our inquiries in full.

Only one natural person may be associated with a particular Binance Sub-Account.

Protection. Client Money held by Binance in a Client Money account shall be subject to the protections conferred by Applicable Law in the Territory. 
Pooling. You acknowledge that your Client Money shall be pooled with other Client Money into one Client Money account, therefore, whilst your money is segregated from money belonging to Binance, it is not segregated from other users’ Client Money. In the event of Binance’s insolvency, winding up or other such similar event, Client Money will be treated in accordance with Applicable Law in the Territory. 
Reconciliations. Binance shall conduct a daily reconciliation of your Client Money. Binance will not send out physical statements but you may instead view your near-real time statement at any time logging into your Binance Account. Binance will at all times maintain records for individual balances. 
Liability. Binance shall not be liable for the insolvency of third-party banking partner(s) holding Client Money. Binance conducts an extensive due diligence assessment of any third-party banking partner(s) prior to entering into a Client Money account agreement, in order to ensure that those banks are safe repositories and licensed to hold Client Money. 
Safe Custody 
Safeguarding. Binance shall record, register and hold Client Assets in an appropriate manner to effectively safeguard and control such Client Assets. 
No interest. Binance does not provide interest on Client Assets, unless otherwise specified in applicable Product Terms. 
Offshore holding. You acknowledge that Binance may hold Client Assets outside the Territory and the market practices, insolvency and legal regime in that jurisdiction may differ from the regime applicable in the Territory. 
Segregation of accounts. Your Client Assets will be recorded in your Binance Account and segregated in our ledger from Supported Crypto Assets belonging to Binance and/or other users. 
Omnibus wallets and asset segregation. Your Client Assets, other than Excluded Client Assets, will be pooled on-chain with the Client Assets of other Binance users in dedicated omnibus cold wallets. These cold wallets will be used only for Client Assets and will not contain Crypto Assets belonging to Binance, Binance Affiliates or clients of Binance Affiliates. Excluded Client Assets will be held in custody by Binance and pooled in omnibus hot and cold wallets that may also contain Crypto Assets belonging to Binance, Binance Affiliates or clients of Binance Affiliates. 
Reconciliation. Binance shall conduct a daily reconciliation of your Client Assets that are held by Binance on your behalf. Binance will not physically send out statements, instead, you may view your near-real time statement at any time upon logging into your Binance Account. 
Treatment of Client Assets. Unless agreed otherwise in the relevant Product Terms, Client Assets are held in custody by Binance on behalf of users and are not used by Binance for any other purpose. Where the relevant Product Terms permit Binance to make use of your Supported Crypto Assets for other purposes, such assets do not benefit from the on-chain segregation described in clause 9.5 above.
Information requests
When we may request information. We may require information from you at any time for the purposes of complying with any Applicable Law, identity verification requirements, or in connection with the detection of money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other financial crime, or for any other valid reason. You agree to provide us with any such information we request and permit us to keep a record of the information for at least ten (10) years, or such other period as prescribed by Applicable Law. 
What happens when you provide information. Your access to your Binance Account and the Transaction limits that apply to your use of the Binance Services may be altered as a result of information collected about you on an ongoing basis. If there is a reasonable suspicion that any information provided by you is wrong, untruthful, outdated, or incomplete, we may send you a notice to request corrections, remove relevant information, or do such other things that we consider necessary to ensure that the information provided by you is true and correct.
If you fail to provide any requested information. You must comply with any information request we send to you. If you decline to provide the requested information, or otherwise do not comply in a timely manner, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to your Binance Account or all or part of the Binance Services immediately and without notice.
Accessing your Binance Account
Access. To access your Binance Account you or, where relevant, your Permitted Users, must have the necessary equipment (such as a computer or smartphone) and access to the internet. Your Binance Account can be accessed directly using the Platform or by such other modes of access (including APIs) as we may prescribe. You are only permitted to access your Binance Account by using the Access IDs we provide to you or your Permitted Users for such purposes. We may require multi-factor authentication to keep your Binance Account safe and secure.
The use of the Platform and other access methods may be subject to such additional terms as we communicate to you. 
Restricting access to third parties. You must ensure that any Binance Account(s) registered under your name will not be used by any person other than yourself or, with respect to Corporate Binance Accounts, your Permitted Users, other than in accordance with these Terms.
Account information and Transaction records
Your Account History. You will be able to access your Account History on the Platform. You must review your Account History carefully and let us know if you see any entries or Transactions that you do not recognise or you think are incorrect within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date that your Account History is provided or made available to you. 
Errors. We may rectify any error in your Account History at any time and reserve the right to void or reverse any Transaction involving or deriving from a Manifest Error or to amend the details of such Transaction to reflect what we reasonably consider to be the correct or fair details of such a Transaction absent Manifest Error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the absence of fraud or bad faith, Binance shall in no circumstances be liable to you for any loss or demand of any type or nature you may suffer or incur in connection with any Manifest Error howsoever arising, whether direct or indirect, special or consequential, including, but not limited to, loss of profit or loss of opportunity, even if Binance had been advised of the possibility of the same arising or that the same was reasonably foreseeable.
Information sharing. We may be required under Applicable Law to share information about your Binance Account and Account History with third parties. You acknowledge and agree that we are entitled to disclose such information. 
USING YOUR ACCOUNTInstructions
Giving Instructions. You must ensure that any Instruction submitted is complete and accurate. We are not required to verify the accuracy, authenticity or validity of any Instruction and will not monitor or reject Instructions on the basis that they are, or appear to be, duplicates. However, if we are in doubt as to the accuracy, authenticity or validity of an Instruction, we may refuse to act upon or defer acting upon any Instruction or seek further information with respect to the Instruction.
Instructions are irrevocable and therefore once an Instruction has been submitted you, or your Permitted Users, have no right to rescind or withdraw it without our written consent. Your Instruction is not deemed to be received by us until it has been received by our server. Our record of all Instructions will be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes.
Acting on your Instructions. By submitting an Instruction, you or your Permitted Users are authorising us to initiate the Transaction on your Binance Account. We are therefore authorised to credit or debit (or provide settlement information to third-parties for the purposes of the third-party crediting or debiting) your Crypto Assets from your Binance Account in accordance with your Instruction. If you have insufficient Crypto Assets or Fiat Currency in your Binance Account to effect the Transaction (i.e. less than the required amount to settle the Transaction and to pay all the fees associated with the Transaction), then we have the right to refuse to effect any Transaction. It is your responsibility to hold sufficient Crypto Assets credited in your Binance Account. In certain cases, and at Binance's sole discretion, we may require additional confirmation before acting on an Instruction, if the account activity falls outside usual patterns.
Protection of Instructions. You are aware that Instructions and information transmitted on the Platform or by email are generally transmitted via the internet and may be routed via public, transnational installations which are not specifically protected. We cannot guarantee that the Instructions and information transmitted will be completely protected against unauthorised access, and you accept the associated risks.
Transactions
Entering into Transactions. You may enter into Transactions directly with us, or directly with other users, which may or may not be facilitated by us. 
We do not represent or warrant that any Transaction will be completed successfully or within a specific time period. 
Unauthorised Transactions. You are solely responsible for the control and use of your Binance Account. As such, we will assume that you, or a Permitted User, have authorised any Instruction sent from your Binance Account unless we are notified otherwise. It is important that you monitor your Account History to ensure any unauthorised or suspicious activity on your Binance Account is identified and notified to us as soon as possible. We are not responsible for any claim or losses resulting from an Transaction executed as a result of an unauthorised Instruction unless you have notified us in accordance with this clause 14.2.
Retention of Transaction information. To facilitate compliance with global industry standards for data retention, you agree to permit us (but agree to not require us) to keep a record of all Transaction information for the lifetime of your Binance Account plus ten (10) years beyond your Binance Account’s termination, or such other period as prescribed by Applicable Law, as well as a copy of these Terms for a period of ten (10) years. Please review our Privacy Notice for more information on how we collect and use data relating to the use and performance of our Sites and the Binance Services.
Trading Rules. Binance operates Order Books on which Orders may be placed by users to be matched with the Orders of other users. Binance may issue trading rules from time to time that apply to orders placed on the Order Book, in addition to these Terms and any Product Terms.
Material interests and conflicts
Binance group. You understand that Binance is a member of a group of companies which is involved in activities connected with Crypto Assets and other digital assets.
Market makers. You acknowledge, agree, and accept that: (1) we may appoint one or more market makers to provide liquidity on the Platform, and any such market maker may enter into any Transaction with you as your counterparty; (2) market makers may also maintain positions in various Crypto Assets as part of their market making activities, including positions in Crypto Assets that are contrary to your positions; and (3) such market making activities may be done by way of algorithmic trading.
Such market making activity can have an impact on the price of Crypto Assets and the liquidity at levels necessary to execute a transaction. We will not deliberately carry out market making activity with the intention of harming your interests and will endeavour to minimise any market impact. We may realise a profit, or equally, a loss, in connection with market making activity.
Nature of our duties. You understand and agree that neither your relationship with us nor any Binance Service we provide to you, nor any other matter, will give rise to any fiduciary or equitable duties on our part, or the part of any Binance Affiliate. In particular, we and any Binance Affiliate may from time to time act in more than one capacity (for example, as both market maker and broker and/or as principal and agent), and in those capacities we may receive fees or commissions from more than one user (including you). You agree that we may act in such capacities and provide any other Binance Services or carry out any business with or for you, any Binance Affiliate or any other user.
Material interests. You understand and agree that neither we nor any Binance Affiliate will be required to: (1) have regard to any information known to us, or to any Binance Affiliate, which is a material interest; (2) disclose any such information to you; or (3) use any such information for your benefit. You further acknowledge that from time to time we may receive general market information in the course providing Binance Services to you, which we may use in the ordinary course of our business.
Conflicts of interest. We have established and maintain effective organisational and administrative arrangements with a view to taking all appropriate steps to identify and manage conflicts of interest between us and our users and relevant third parties, so as to prevent conflicts of interest from adversely affecting the interests of our users. In cases where such organisational and administrative arrangements are not sufficient to ensure that the risks of damage to your interests will be prevented, we will inform you of the nature and/or sources of the relevant conflicts of interest and the steps taken to mitigate those risks in order to allow you to make an informed decision as to whether to continue to transact with us. We reserve the right at all times to decline to act for you where we are not able to manage a conflict of interest in any other way. 
Transaction limits 
Your Transaction limits. Your Binance Account may be subject to a limit on:
the amount or volume of Transactions you may undertake in connection with your Binance Account ; and/or
the amount or value of Fiat Currency or Crypto Assets you may transfer into or out of your Binance Account, 
in each case in a given period (e.g. daily). Any applicable limits are shown in your Binance Account. 
Changes to your Transaction limits. We reserve the right to change any Transaction limit that applies to your Binance Account at any time at our absolute discretion. It may also be possible for you to request a change in your limits. Any change will be made in our absolute discretion and will be subject to any further conditions that we deem necessary. 
Supported Crypto Assets
Supported Crypto Assets. The Binance Services are only available in connection with Supported Crypto Assets, which may change from time to time. A list of the Supported Crypto Assets is published on our Website. We may remove or suspend one or more Crypto Assets from the list of Supported Crypto Assets at any time (with or without advance notice to you), meaning that you will no longer be able to access such Crypto Assets as part of the Binance Services and will be no longer able to hold such Crypto Assets credited to your Binance Account or make any deposits or withdrawals. We may do so with immediate effect and without reason. If Crypto Assets that are no longer Supported Crypto Assets remain in your Binance Account beyond a specified period, Binance may in its discretion convert such Crypto Assets to a Supported Crypto Asset that is a stablecoin.  Binance shall notify you in advance of any such conversion and you shall always have the opportunity during a period of time specified by Binance to withdraw the relevant Crypto Assets before they are converted into a stablecoin.
We assume no responsibility or liability in connection with any attempt to use your Binance Account for Crypto Assets that we do not support at the relevant time.
Forks. We may temporarily suspend any Binance Services in relation to a particular Crypto Asset while we determine whether or not to support a Fork. We are under no obligation to support a Fork of a Crypto Asset that you hold in your Binance Account, regardless of whether or not any resulting version of such Forked Crypto Asset is a Dominant Crypto Asset or not. If we elect to support a Fork of a Crypto Asset, we will make a public announcement through our Website or by such other means as we may deem appropriate.
You acknowledge that we have no control over, nor do we have the ability to influence, the creation or implementation of a Fork. We can provide no assurances about the security, functionality or supply of any Crypto Asset, including both the new Dominant Crypto Asset or other Crypto Assets subject to the relevant Fork. You may not be able to trade the Forked Crypto Assets on the Platform and you may lose any value associated with the relevant Crypto Assets.
Backed Crypto Assets. We may from time to time support Crypto Assets that purport to be backed by or otherwise tied or pegged in value to another asset, including Crypto Assets, Fiat Currency or commodities such as silver or gold (“Backed Crypto Assets”). You agree that you have read, understood and accepted all of the terms and conditions and risks associated with each particular Backed Crypto Asset before entering into any Transaction relating to that Backed Crypto Asset. We have no obligation to purchase, repurchase or effect or facilitate the redemption of your Backed Crypto Assets for any particular Fiat Currency or asset. We reserve the right to change, suspend, or discontinue any service in relation to any Backed Crypto Asset. We make no representation as to whether any particular Backed Crypto Asset will hold its value as against any asset, nor as to the amount or quality of reserves or collateral held by each issuer of any third-party in relation to any Backed Crypto Asset.
Account security
Your responsibility. You are responsible for taking appropriate action to protect your hardware and data from viruses and malicious software, and any inappropriate material. Except as provided by Applicable Law, you are solely responsible for backing up and maintaining duplicate copies of any information you store or transfer through the Binance Services. We are not responsible for any claim or losses resulting from your failure to comply with this clause 18.
Security measures. At all times, you and any Permitted Users shall maintain adequate security and control of all of your Access IDs. You are solely responsible for taking the necessary security measures (or ensuring that your Permitted Users take such measures) to protect your Binance Account and to keep your Access ID secure, including by:
strictly abiding by all of our mechanisms or procedures;
creating a strong password and maintaining security and control of your Access IDs;
keeping the Email Account and telephone number provided to us up to date in order to receive any notices or alerts that we may send you;
never allowing remote access or sharing your computer and/or computer screen with someone else when you are logged on to your Binance Account;
remembering that under no circumstances will we ask you to share your passwords or 2-factor authentication codes; and
logging out from the Sites or Platform at the end of each visit.
You must keep the Email Account and Access IDs secure against any attacks and unauthorised access. You must notify us immediately if you have knowledge or have reason for suspecting that the security of your Email Account, or that of a Permitted User, has been compromised or if there has been any unauthorised use of your or any Permitted User’s Email Account. 
Monitoring your Account History. It is important that you monitor your Account History to ensure any unauthorised or suspicious activity on your Binance Account is identified and notified to us as soon as possible. You acknowledge that any Security Breach may result in unauthorised access to your Binance Account by third parties and the loss or theft of any Crypto Assets and/or funds held in your Binance Account and any associated accounts, including your linked bank account(s) and credit card(s).
If you suspect a Security Breach. If you suspect a Security Breach, you must ensure that:
we are notified immediately using the details set out in clause ‎‎3.1 and continue to be provided with accurate and up to date information throughout the duration of the Security Breach; and 
your Binance Account is immediately locked via the disable account function on the Platform or via any other method as may be prescribed by us from time to time; and
you take any other steps that we may reasonably require to reduce, manage or report any Security Breach. 
We reserve the right to request, and you agree to provide, any and all information and documents we deem relevant or necessary in connection with an actual or suspected Security Breach and may provide such information to any third-party that we deem necessary in order to resolve any Security Breach.

We will let you know in advance of most changes and will give you fourteen (14) calendar days’ notice before the changes take effect. However, we may occasionally need to make changes without telling you in advance. This may include where:
we are making the change as a result of legal and/or regulatory changes;
the changes being made are in your interest;
the changes are to make these Terms clearer to you; and/or
there is any other valid reason which means there is not time to give you notice. 
Where we are unable to give you advance notice, we will let you know of the change as soon as possible after it is made.
When changes come into effect. Save where changes come into effect immediately, the updated Terms will come into effect fourteen (14) calendar days after the date that we have given you notice. If you do not wish to accept the changes, you are free to close your Binance Account in accordance with clause ‎‎21.1 of these Terms. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you have accepted the change and your continued access to or use of Binance Services will be deemed acceptance of the updated Terms.
Changes to fees. We may also make changes to the fees set out in the Fee Structure page on our Website, which includes introducing new fees and/or charges. If we increase any fee, we will give you fourteen (14) calendar days’ notice in advance of any change being made. If you do not wish to accept the changes, you are free to close your Binance Account in accordance with clause ‎‎21.1 of these Terms. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you have accepted the change and your continued access to or use of the Binance Services will be deemed acceptance of the updated Terms.
If there is no increase to the fee then we may not tell you in advance. Any reduction in fees will come into effect on the date of amendment to the fees as set out in the Fee Structure page on our Website.
Closing your Binance Account 
Your right to close your Binance Account. You may terminate your Binance Account at any time by following the account termination procedures as prescribed by us from time to time. You will not be charged for terminating your Binance Account, although you will be required to pay any outstanding amounts owed to us. You authorise us to cancel or suspend any pending transactions at the time of cancellation, and to deduct any outstanding amounts that you owe us from your Binance Account.
In certain cases, you may not be able to close your Binance Account, including where:
you are trying to evade an investigation by relevant authorities;
you have a pending Transaction or an open Dispute;
your Binance Account has any outstanding amounts owed to us; or
your Binance Account is subject to a freeze, hold, limitation or reserve.
Our right to close your Binance Account. We may close your Binance Account for any reason at any time. In most circumstances, we will give you fourteen (14) calendar days’ notice in advance of closing your Binance Account and the reason for the closure. However, there could be circumstances where we are entitled or required to close your Binance Account without giving you notice or telling you of the reasons for the closure. This may include where we exercise our right to terminate in accordance with these Terms.
What happens when we close your Binance Account. If we decide to close your Binance Account you will be required to withdraw all Crypto Assets held in your Binance Account and cease using the Binance Services. In the event that you fail to do so, we may in our absolute discretion, and without further notice to you:
mark your Binance Account as a dormant account;
close any open positions;
convert the Crypto Assets to a different type of Crypto Asset. In doing so, we will not be liable for any loss of profit, tax obligations or any other loss, damage or expense incurred by you resulting from such conversion;
transfer such dormant account (including any Crypto Assets held in the account) to another Binance Affiliate, any third-party custodian or an isolated wallet where we consider it is reasonably necessary to do so. If this happens, you have the right to retrieve your Crypto Assets, subject to satisfying our reasonable verification requirements; 
charge a dormant account fee to cover the cost of maintaining the Crypto Assets with any Binance Affiliate or any third-party, with such fee to be withdrawn directly from the dormant account on a monthly basis; and
close a dormant account at any time.
After a dormant account is closed, it cannot be reactivated and you will need to register a new Binance Account if you wish to continue to use Binance Services. You acknowledge that we will be under no obligation to pay any reward, incentive or interest which we might have otherwise agreed to pay, under the applicable Product Terms, to your dormant account in relation to the Crypto Assets credited to it.
Termination, suspension, holds and restrictions

in the event that you are acting on behalf of a partnership, any of the partners die or become bankrupt or of unsound mind, commit an act of bankruptcy, or have action to place any of the partners in bankruptcy commenced, or if action is commenced to dissolve and/or alter the partners or the constitutions of the partnership;
in the event that you are acting on behalf of a corporation, the corporation is unable to pay its debts as and when they are due, or action is commenced to place the corporation in insolvency, judicial management, receivership, administrative management, or any similar or analogous proceedings;
you convene a meeting of your creditors or propose or make any compromise or arrangement with or any assignment for the benefit of your creditors;
pending submission of such information and documents in accordance with clauses ‎7 and ‎10;

we reasonably consider that we are required to do so by Applicable Law, or any court or authority to which we are subject in any jurisdiction;

there is any other valid reason which means we need to do so.
We will take reasonable steps to provide you with appropriate notice. However, there might be times when we are required not to do so by Applicable Law.
Your acknowledgement. You acknowledge and agree that:
the examples set out in clause ‎‎22.1 above of when we might take action to terminate, suspend or restrict your access to your Binance Account and/or the Binance Services is a non-exhaustive list, and we may take such action for any reason whatsoever or no reason at all; and
our decision to take certain actions, including, without limitations, to terminate, suspend, or restrict your access to your Binance Account or the Binance Services, may be based on confidential criteria that are essential to our risk management and security protocols. You agree that we are under no obligation to disclose the details of our risk management and security procedures to you.
What happens when we exercise our right. Where we terminate, suspend, hold or restrict your access to one or more Binance Services:
if you have Instructions, trades, positions or Transactions that are open, they may be closed by you, or by us, depending on the circumstances of the termination, suspension, hold, restriction or other action we take;
any chargeback resulting from the use of your Binance Account or Binance Services may result in an immediate suspension and/or restriction of your Binance Account and Binance Services;
to reactivate suspended and/or restricted Binance Account or Binance Services, you may be required to reimburse us for the full value of the chargeback; 
you are liable for any credited amounts in case of a chargeback, and you authorise and grant us the right to deduct costs and fees directly from any assets in your Binance Account without notice; and
if you do not contact us or reply to our notice of termination, we may remove your Crypto Assets from your Binance Account and transfer them to a third-party (such as a government body) or hold them as Binance assets, after such period and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
Unlawful possession. If we are informed and reasonably believe that any Crypto Assets or funds held in your Binance Account are stolen or otherwise are not lawfully possessed by you (whether by error or otherwise), we may, but have no obligation to, place a hold on the affected funds and your Binance Account. Where we place a hold on some or all of your Crypto Assets or your Binance Account, we may continue such hold until such time as evidence, acceptable to us, proves that you are entitled to possession of the Crypto Assets and/or Fiat Currency held in your Binance Account. We will not get involved in any such Dispute, or the resolution of the Dispute, relating to any Crypto Assets and/or Fiat Currency held in your Binance Account. 
Access to Binance Services in other jurisdictions. Residents of some countries may only be able to access some, but not all, Binance Services. We may change the Binance Services that are available in the Territory, from time to time. If you travel to a location included on our List of Prohibited Countries, Binance Services may not be available and your access to the Binance Services may be blocked. You acknowledge that this may impact your ability to trade on the Platform and/or monitor any existing orders or open positions or otherwise use the Binance Services. You must not attempt in any way to circumvent any such restriction, including by use of any virtual private network to modify your internet protocol address.

provides sufficient legal documentation that they are entitled to receive the assets in your Binance Account; or
you provide satisfactory proof that you are not deceased.
