These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“you” or “your”) and Binance (“Binance”, “we”, “our” or “us”). The Terms govern your use of the Binance Services made available to you on or through the Platform or otherwise. Binance Services may be provided by Binance or, if specified in these Terms, any Product Terms or any additional terms, by any Binance Affiliate.

By registering for a Binance Account, accessing the Platform and/or using the Binance Services, you agree that you have read, understood and accepted these Terms, together with any additional documents or terms referred to in these Terms. You acknowledge and agree that you will be bound by and will comply with these Terms, as updated and amended from time to time.

If you do not understand and accept these Terms in their entirety, you should not register for a Binance Account or access or use the Platform or any Binance Service.

RISK WARNING

As with any asset, the value of Digital Assets can fluctuate significantly and there is a material risk of economic loss when buying, selling, holding or investing in Digital Assets. You should therefore consider whether trading or holding Digital 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.

We are not your broker, intermediary, agent or 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 responsible for any associated loss or liability. We do not recommend that any Digital Asset should be bought, earned, sold or held by you. Before making the decision to buy, sell or hold any Digital Asset, you should conduct your own due diligence and consult your financial advisor. We are not responsible for the decisions you make to buy, earn, sell or hold Digital Assets based on the information provided by us, including any losses you incur arising from those decisions.

In the event that there are insufficient Digital Assets in your Binance Account, you acknowledge that any amount due and payable from you under this clause is a debt immediately due and owing by you to us in such amount and form (whether in the form of a Digital Asset or otherwise) as we may determine, acting in a commercially reasonable manner.

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BINANCE ACCOUNT

7. Creating a Binance Account

7.1. Account opening. You must create and maintain a Binance Account in order to access the Binance Services and the Platform. This may be a Binance Account for an individual user, or a Corporate Binance Account where the user is a corporation, entity or other organisation.

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. 

7.2. Sole benefit. By opening a Binance Account you agree that:

a. 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 to do so; and

b. 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. Additionally, you will not offer direct market access to Binance.com to any other party, including through the use of a sub-account, unless and until such other party has completed identity verification deemed appropriate by Binance and has separately onboarded onto the Platform. Any other party so verified shall be considered a “Permitted User” as that term is described herein. For avoidance of doubt, any entity or individual using a Binance Sub-Account must be separately verified to be considered a “Permitted User” and to be permitted to use the Binance Services.

You are fully responsible for all activity that occurs under your Binance Account.

7.3. 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, whether independently or through a third-party service, by providing us with certain information about yourself and, where relevant, all of 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, 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 understand that your personal data, and that of any Permitted Users, may be disclosed to identity verification, compliance data recordation, credit reference, fraud prevention, or financial crime agencies and that these agencies may respond to our inquiries in full.

You can review our Privacy Notice to have more information about how we process your personal data. 

7.4. Enhanced due diligence. We may also require you to comply with our enhanced due diligence procedures by submitting additional information about yourself, your business or your Permitted Users, providing additional records or documentation, or having face to face meetings with representatives of Binance.

7.5. Records. We keep your personal data to enable your continued use of Binance Services, for as long as it is required in order to fulfil the relevant purposes described in this Privacy Notice, and as may be required by law such as for tax and accounting purposes, compliance with anti-money laundering laws, or as otherwise communicated to you. Please review our Privacy Notice for more information on how we collect and use your personal data relating to the use and performance of our Sites and the Binance Services.

7.6. Sub-Accounts. At our discretion, you may create and access a Binance Sub-Account. Each natural person associated with a Binance Sub-Account is subject to the identity verification requirements set out in this clause ‎7. Only one natural person or corporate entity may be associated with a particular Binance Sub-Account. 

8. Information requests

8.1. 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 the lifetime of your Binance Account as long as it is required to fulfil their intended purposes, or such other period as prescribed by Applicable Law. 

8.2. 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.

8.3. 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 to all or part of the Binance Services immediately, without notice.

9. Accessing your Binance Account

9.1. 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 mode 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. 

9.2. 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.

10. Account information and Transaction records

10.1. 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. 

10.2. Errors. We may rectify any error in your Account History at any time, and reserve the right to void, cancel 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. 

You acknowledge and agree that where you execute any Transaction with Improper Intent and/or in the case of Manifest Error, Binance is authorised by you (without any payment or penalty or liability due by Binance and provided that such action is in compliance with Applicable Law) to either:

a. cancel/void such Transaction and treat such Transaction as if they had never been entered into; or

b. amend the price(s) of such Transaction (upon notice from Binance to you of the amended price(s)) to reflect the prevailing market price(s) as at the relevant time, as determined by Binance by reference to an available source for fair market pricing;

If Binance cancels a Transaction pursuant to the rights referred herein, Binance will reverse any transfers of Digital Assets that have been made to and/or from your Binance Account in connection with such Transaction as if that Transaction had never taken place.

If Binance amends a Transaction pursuant to the rights referred herein, Binance will confirm the details of the amended terms of the Transaction to you through an agreed communication channel and will affect such transfers of Digital Assets to and/or from your Binance Account as are required to reflect the terms of the amended Transaction.

You acknowledge and agree that you shall be solely responsible for your own transactions with any third parties that may have been entered into in connection with or reliance on any Transaction(s) that may be subject to any cancellation/amendment pursuant to Binance’s rights herein.

10.3. 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. For more information about how we process your personal data you can review our Privacy Notice. 

USING YOUR ACCOUNT

11. Instructions

11.1. 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.

11.2. 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 Digital Assets from your Binance Account in accordance with your Instruction. If you have insufficient Digital 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. Binance may also refuse to act on instructions to the extent permitted by these Terms. It is your responsibility to hold sufficient Digital Assets or Fiat Currency credited in your Binance Account.

11.3. 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.

11.4. Withdrawals. Subject to these Terms and any applicable Product Terms, and provided that you have sufficient balance on your Binance Account and the relevant Digital Assets are not on hold in your Binance Account in connection with any Binance Service, you may give Instructions to Binance to transfer Digital Assets to an external wallet address by submitting a withdrawal request on the Platform. Upon receipt of the withdrawal request, Binance will: (i) deduct your Binance Account balance; and (ii) initiate an on-chain transfer to an external wallet designated by you. Binance may not process a withdrawal request if, in our reasonable opinion, we consider that Applicable Law prevents the execution of the relevant withdrawal. Binance may also suspend withdrawals at such time deemed appropriate by Binance to resolve any incidents on the Platform. Once such incidents have been resolved, Binance will resume withdrawals.

12. Transactions

12.1. 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. 

12.2. Unauthorised Transactions. You are 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 a Transaction executed as a result of an unauthorised Instruction unless you have notified us in accordance with this clause and it is confirmed by our internal investigation that you, or a Permitted User, have not authorised the Instruction in any way, even by mistake, negligence, error or as a consequence of a fraud and it is proven that the unauthorized Instruction is solely due to a technical issue attributable to Binance.

12.3. 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 as long as it is required to fulfil their intended purposes, or such other period as prescribed by Applicable Law. 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.

13. Material interests and conflicts

13.1. Binance group. You understand that Binance is a member of a group of companies which is involved in activities connected with Digital Assets.

13.2. 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 duties on our part or on the part of any Binance Affiliate, whether legal, equitable, fiduciary in nature, save as are expressly set out in these terms. In particular, we and any Binance Affiliate may from time to time act in more than one capacity, 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.

13.3. 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 of providing Binance Services to you, which we may use in the ordinary course of our business.

13.4. 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. 

14. Transaction limits 

14.1. Your Transaction limits. Your Binance Account may be subject to a limit on:

a. the amount or volume of Transactions you may undertake in connection with your Binance Account; and/or

b. the amount or value of Fiat Currency or Digital 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. 

14.2. 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. 

15. Supported Digital Assets

15.1. Supported Digital Assets. The Binance Services are only available in connection with Supported Digital Assets, which may change from time to time. A list of the Supported Digital Assets is published on our Website. We may remove or suspend one or more Digital Assets from the list of Supported Digital Assets and we will use reasonable commercial efforts to notify you in advance. Meaning that you will no longer be able to access such Digital Assets as part of the Binance Services and will only be permitted to withdraw the Digital Assets from your Binance Account. If Digital Assets that are no longer Supported Digital Assets remain in your Binance Account beyond a specified period notified to you, Binance may in its reasonable discretion convert such Digital Assets into a different type of Digital Asset that is a stablecoin. Binance shall notify you in advance of any conversion and you may withdraw such Digital Assets within a reasonable period as specified by Binance to you, prior to their conversion into stablecoins. 

We assume no liability in connection with any attempt to use your Binance Account for Digital Assets that we do not support nor for the conversion to a different type of Digital Asset, as described in this clause.

15.2. Forks. We may temporarily suspend any Binance Services in relation to a particular Digital Asset while we determine whether or not to support a Fork. We are under no obligation to support a Fork of a Digital Asset that you hold in your Binance Account, regardless of whether any resulting version of such Forked Digital Asset is a Dominant Digital Asset or not. If we elect to support a Fork of a Digital 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 Digital Asset, including both the new Dominant Digital Asset or other Digital Assets subject to the relevant Fork. You may not be able to trade the Forked Digital Assets on the Platform and you may lose any value associated with the relevant Digital Assets.

15.3. Backed Digital Assets. We may from time to time support Digital Assets that purport to be backed by or otherwise tied or pegged in value to another asset, including Digital Assets, Fiat Currency or commodities such as silver or gold (“Backed Digital Assets”). You agree that you have read, understood and accepted all of the terms and conditions and risks associated with each particular Backed Digital Asset before entering into any Transaction relating to that Backed Digital Asset. We have no obligation to purchase, repurchase or effect or facilitate the redemption of your Backed Digital Assets. We reserve the right to change, suspend, or discontinue any service in relation to any Backed Digital Asset. We make no representation as to whether any particular Backed Digital Asset will hold its value as against any asset, nor as to the amount or quality of reserves or collateral held by each issuer or any third party in relation to any Backed Digital Asset.

16. Account security

16.1. 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 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.

16.2. Security measures. At all times, you and any Permitted Users shall maintain adequate security and control of all of your Access IDs. You are 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:

a. strictly abiding by all of our mechanisms or procedures;

b. creating a strong password and maintaining security and control of your Access IDs;

c. 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;

d. never allowing remote access or sharing your computer and/or computer screen with someone else when you are logged on to your Binance Account;

e. remembering that under no circumstances will we ask you to share your passwords or 2-factor authentication codes; and

f. logging out from the Sites or the 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. 

16.3. 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 Digital Assets and/or funds held in your Binance Account and any associated accounts, including your linked bank account(s) and credit card(s).

16.4. If you suspect a Security Breach. If you suspect a Security Breach, you must ensure that:

a. 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; 

b. 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

c. 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.

You will not be charged for terminating your Binance Account, although you will be required to pay any outstanding amounts owed to us.

RESOLVING DISPUTES: FORUM, ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION WAIVER

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this section will deprive you of any mandatory legal right from which you benefit under Applicable Law.

31. Notice of Claim and Dispute Resolution Period

31.1. Please contact Binance first if you have any concerns with the Services. Binance wants to address your concerns without resorting to formal legal proceedings, if possible. A ticket number will be assigned to you if your concerns cannot be addressed to your satisfaction at first instance. The issuance of the ticket number commences the internal dispute resolution procedure. Binance will attempt to resolve the dispute internally as soon as possible. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute (which discussions shall remain confidential and be subject to applicable rules protecting settlement discussions from use as evidence in any legal proceeding).

31.2. In the event the dispute cannot be resolved satisfactorily, and you wish to assert a Claim against Binance, then you agree to set forth the basis of such Claim in writing in a “Notice of Claim,” as a form of prior notice to Binance. The Notice of Claim must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, (2) set forth the specific relief sought, (3) provide the original ticket number, and (4) include your custody account email. The Notice of Claim should be submitted to the following web address: https://www.binance.com/en/chat.  After you have provided the Notice of Claim to Binance, the dispute referenced in the Notice of Claim may be submitted by either Binance or you to arbitration in accordance with the below clause (Agreement to Arbitrate). 

31.3. For the avoidance of doubt, the submission of a dispute to Binance for resolution internally and the delivery of a Notice of Claim to Binance are prerequisites to commencement of an arbitration proceeding (or any other legal proceeding).

31.4. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Binance shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.

32. Agreement to Arbitrate

32.1. Aside from where Applicable Law requires or provides you with a choice otherwise, you and Binance agree that, subject to the immediately preceding clause above (Notice of Claim and Dispute Resolution Period), any Claim shall be determined by mandatory final and binding individual (not class) arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) in accordance with the HKIAC Rules for the time being in force, which rules are deemed incorporated by reference in this clause.

32.2. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. 

32.3. The Tribunal shall consist of one (1) arbitrator to be appointed in accordance with the HKIAC Rules for the time being in force. 

32.4. The language of the arbitration shall be in English.

32.5. You and Binance further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including without limitation any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Agreement to Arbitrate, or to the arbitrability of any Claim.
