10.3 Before executing a trading order for the User, bitqik will, in the ordinary course, provide a summary that includes the quantity and price of the Tokens that the User intends to purchase or sell, and the fee for the User. The User may withdraw or change orders submitted at any time before the orders are executed by bitqik.

10.4 User agrees that the User will not be entitled to withdraw or change the User’s orders upon the execution of orders by bitqik, and shall be bound by all orders executed by bitqik.

10.5 User may request bitqik to withdraw Fiat Currency that was originally deposited by the User into the Designated Bank Account or any Fiat Currency that is transferred to the Designated Bank Account pursuant to the settlement of a Token trading order of the User, and transfer the Fiat Currency to any bank accounts belonging to and in the name of the User. Upon such request, bitqik shall transfer the Fiat Currency to a bank account of the User via either (i) the PromptPay channel using the citizen ID number of the User or (ii) the Internet banking channel, given that the User has verified his or her bank account through a method provided by bitqik, unless such amounts are required for the settlement of any trading orders submitted by the User. The User acknowledges that there may be some delay in withdrawing Fiat Currency, but in any case, the delay shall be no more than 24 hours after the User gives instructions for the withdrawal of Fiat Currency. Notwithstanding any provision herein, bitqik shall not be required to facilitate the transfer of any funds if doing so may result in a breach of Applicable Law, or if there is suspicion of any money laundering or financing of terrorism or proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, as determined by bitqik in its sole discretion and in accordance with Applicable Law.

10.6 bitqik may conduct any additional verification as it determines in its sole and absolute discretion, including requesting a third-party professional institution to verify the User’s real name or the User’s identity, to check whether the information provided by the User is true, prior to depositing, withdrawing or transferring any Fiat Currency or Tokens.

10.7 User agrees that neither bitqik nor its Affiliates (an “Affiliate” is, with respect to a legal entity, another legal entity that controls, is under common control with, or is controlled by the first legal entity) are providing any advice, guarantee or forecast on any Tokens, the price thereof, or trading in any Tokens, and shall not be liable for any losses incurred by User from trading in Tokens (including Losses arising from any price fluctuations in Cryptocurrency). The user fully understands, acknowledges, and fully accepts the risks of trading Tokens, which, in the worst-case scenario, could become worthless in value due to the volatile nature of the valuations of Tokens.

10.8 User further agrees that neither bitqik nor its Affiliates are guaranteeing the availability of any Tokens, Cryptocurrency, and Fiat Currency pairs on relevant cryptocurrency exchanges. In the event of the suspension of any cryptocurrency exchanges, any occurrence of Force Majeure Events, market volatility, or changes in market conditions as determined by bitqik in its sole and absolute discretion, or any changes or developments in Applicable Law, bitqik may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without prior notice to the User, take one or more of the following steps and bitqik shall not be liable for any losses incurred by User as a result of any such steps taken:

(a) denying access to the Account or use of the Services;
(b) suspending all activities within the Account and Services;
(c) canceling any order submitted by the User; or
(d) settling any positions held by the User regardless of whether the User has submitted an order.

10.9 User agrees that any Tokens may be designated as trading service cancellation or suspension, which shall be in accordance with the policy prescribed by biqik. In the event of trading service cancellation or suspension, bitqik shall, as soon as practicable, notify the Users to cancel or suspend trading of the designated Tokens and to withdraw the remaining designated Tokens from their accounts within a reasonable period of time as prescribed by bitqik.

11. Matters to be Noted with Respect to Use of Services

11.1 bitqik may, at its discretion, reject an order submitted through the Services or limit the transaction amount or other terms and conditions of transactions with or without any prior notice.

11.2 User may cancel the User’s order only if bitqik has not proceeded with the execution of the order as instructed by the User. If bitqik has executed any orders instructed by the User in part only, the User may request to cancel the remaining portion of the order that has not been executed by bitqik for the User.

11.3 Notwithstanding any provisions above, if the Token that is available for use in the User’s Hosted Wallet or the Fiat Currency of User that is available in the Designated Bank Account falls short of the amount needed to execute or settle an order submitted by the User, bitqik may cancel the entire order or execute only the part of the order that is equivalent to the Token that is available in the User’s Hosted Wallet or the Fiat Currency that is available for use in the Designated Bank Account.

11.4 bitqik, at its discretion, shall have an option not to provide the Users with additional benefits derived from holding Tokens. Users are not entitled to any additional benefits, unless otherwise explicitly stated by bitqik.

12. Fees

12.1 Fee schedule

(a) User shall pay a commission fee as a percentage of the total trading volume per trading order executed by bitqik for the User. The rate of the commission fee may be amended from time to time. The fee schedule will be made available on bitqik’s website. The most updated fee schedule can be found here.
(b) A schedule of commission fees, withdrawal fees, and other fees and costs incurred from or in relation to the Services payable by the User shall be made available on the Site and may be amended from time to time by posting on the Site or by other methods as reasonably determined by bitqik.

The user agrees to pay bitqik the fees described in the fee schedule, as periodically updated by bitqik in its sole discretion, or as otherwise notified by bitqik by other methods from time to time. The updated fee schedule will apply prospectively to any trades or other transactions that take place following the effective date of such updated fee schedule. The User hereby authorizes bitqik to remove Tokens from the Hosted Wallet for any applicable fees owed by the User under these Terms.

The User consents to receive electronically all communications, agreements, documents, receipts, notices, and disclosures (collectively, “Communications”) that bitqik provides in connection with the User Agreement, the User’s Account, or any Services. The User agrees that bitqik may provide these Communications to the User by posting them via the Services, by emailing them to the User at the email address provided by the User, sending them using an application or other messaging services to the User’s Account on the application or messaging service, and/or by sending an SMS or text message to a mobile phone number that the User provides.
