Digital Asset Transactions

1. Digital Asset Prices and Payment Acceptance.
   Digital Assets are experimental and risky. The Service attempts to provide fair and accurate price and transaction fee information, but this information is volatile and subject to change without advance notice. For a standard transaction, the price is provided at the time your payment is received and confirmed by the blockchain network, limited to the number of confirmations ShapeShift deems reasonable in order to protect ShapeShift from double spends, 51% attacks or other risks. A payment may be accepted at one block confirmation. At ShapeShift’s discretion, ShapeShift may accept a payment with zero block confirmations. For the avoidance of doubt, a payment broadcasted to the blockchain network does not constitute an acceptance by ShapeShift. You may select the “Precise Amount” feature when submitting a Transaction which provides you with a guaranteed price for a specified period of time so long as ShapeShift receives and accepts your payment within such period of time. ShapeShift only accepts one [form of payment] per Transaction ID (“TXID”). If your funds are deposited in a TXID with more than one Deposit, you will need to contact support to receive a refund. The price will not be honored and your transaction will not be completed. User Transactions that do not confirm within forty-eight (48) hours of being detected may be canceled. Refund requests will be provided in accordance with our Returns and Refund Policy.ShapeShift reserves the right to refuse to process or to cancel any pending Transaction as required by law or in response to a subpoena, court order, or other binding government order or to enforce any transaction limits. ShapeShift further reserves the right to delay any Transaction if it perceives a risk of fraud or illegal activity. ShapeShift further reserves the right to refuse to process or cancel any Transaction due to technological issues with the blockchain software, ShapeShift software, or for other technological reasons. ShapeShift cannot reverse a Transaction which has been broadcast to a blockchain network. The Service is available only in connection with those Digital Assets and Transaction limits that ShapeShift, in its sole discretion, decides to support. The Digital Assets and Transaction limits that ShapeShift supports may change from time to time. If you have any questions about which Digital Assets or Transaction limits ShapeShift currently supports, please visit shapeshift.io, or the about page, which lists the current rates for all live coins in your jurisdiction. Under no circumstances should you attempt to use the Services to store, send, request, or receive Digital Assets in any form that are not supported by ShapeShift. ShapeShift assumes no responsibility or liability in connection with any attempt to use the Service for Digital Assets that ShapeShift does not support.
   1. Underlying Protocols. ShapeShift does not own or control the underlying software protocols which govern the operation of the Digital Assets supported on our Service. In general, the underlying protocols are open source and anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute them. By using the Service you acknowledge and agree (i) that ShapeShift is not responsible for the operation of the underlying protocols and that ShapeShift makes no guarantee of their functionality, security, or availability; and (ii) that the underlying protocols are subject to sudden changes in operating rules, which may materially affect the value, function, our ability to have a particular asset listed on our site, and/or even the name of the Digital Asset. In the event of a Digital Asset fork, you agree that ShapeShift may temporarily suspend ShapeShift operations (with or without advance notice to you) and that ShapeShift may, in its sole discretion, decide whether or not to support (or cease supporting) either branch of the forked protocol entirely. You also agree that in the event you send a Transaction at the time of a Digital Asset fork, ShapeShift will only honor the originally-intended transaction that you sent. You acknowledge and agree that ShapeShift assumes absolutely no responsibility whatsoever in respect of an unsupported branch of a forked protocol.

Your transaction history is available through your account.

The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the canton of Zug, Switzerland for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Zug, Switzerland is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.
2. Arbitration. Read this section carefully because it requires the parties to arbitrate their disputes and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from ShapeShift.

The arbitration will be conducted in Zug Switzerland, in English, unless you and ShapeShift agree otherwise. If you are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any Arbitration Institution fees, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with Arbitration Institution rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Service for non-commercial purposes: (i) Arbitration Institution may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from Arbitration Institution; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney’s fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing ShapeShift from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights.

Fox Membership
ShapeShift AG and/or its affiliates (“ShapeShift” or “We” or “Us”) offers a membership program (the “ShapeShift Membership”) which applies across all ShapeShift products and services. higher levels are optional and require FOX tokens. Members (defined below) benefit primarily from a transaction fee discount on volume transacted by the Member.

FOX tokens are thus perpetually useful for FOX Membership. They can be committed at the user’s discretion to gain FOX Membership at any time for 30-day intervals, indefinitely if the Member so chooses. The user does not spend, lose or “burn” the FOX tokens in order to become a Member. The FOX tokens simply grant access to the hodler, like a key, or a membership card.

FOX Membership is certified and enforced via an open-source smart contract and relay system called CertiFOX. To become a FOX Member, the FOX token holder must transfer the requisite amount of FOX tokens into the CertiFOX smart contract, where they are held for intervals of approximately 30-days. Though the FOX tokens are locked during these intervals, the Member maintains ultimate control of the tokens. At no point does ShapeShift take custody of the FOX tokens.

Fox Membership Terms

Last Updated: September 2018

Welcome to the additional terms and conditions for FOX Membership (“FOX Membership Terms”). These FOX Membership Terms are between you and ShapeShift AG and/or its affiliates (“ShapeShift” or “We” or “Us”) and govern our respective rights and obligations. Please note that the Fox Membership is also governed by the agreements listed and linked to below, as well as all other applicable terms, conditions, limitations, and requirements on the Websites, all of which (as changed over time) are incorporated into these FOX Membership Terms. If you sign up for a FOX Membership, you accept these terms, conditions, limitations, and requirements

• Terms of Service
• Privacy Policy
• Returns and Refunds Policy

All capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning given to them in the Terms of Service. Nothing in these FOX Membership Terms shall be construed to amend or contradict the Terms of Service unless explicitly stated. If there is a conflict between the Terms of Service and the FOX Membership Terms, these FOX Membership Terms control.

1. Membership Cancellation
   FOX Memberships auto-renew every 30-day interval, until you choose not to renew. If not renewed, the FOX Membership ends after the current 30-day period, and you will receive back the same amount of FOX tokens that were committed to initiate the FOX Membership. You may withdraw FOX tokens that are not committed at any time.
2. Agreement Changes
   We may in our discretion change these FOX Membership Terms, the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Returns, and Refunds Policy, or any aspect of the FOX Membership, without notice to you. If any change to these terms is found invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that change is severable and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining changes or conditions. YOUR CONTINUED MEMBERSHIP AFTER WE CHANGE THESE FOX MEMBERSHIP TERMS CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGES.
3. Regulatory determinations may make the FOX Tokens illegal in certain jurisdictions or for certain categories of investors
   It is possible that current or future regulations could make ShapeShift and/or FOX Tokens illegal in some jurisdictions, or for some categories of investors, which could possibly result in a winding down of ShapeShift, or a decrease in value of ShapeShift or the FOX Tokens. Because the FOX Tokens have not been formally classified by regulatory agencies, it is possible that subsequent determinations by regulators may prevent certain individuals or entities from using or holding FOX Tokens in the future. Such a determination could materially reduce the functionality and demand for the FOX Tokens.
   
   
4. Limitations

• Members are prohibited from having more than one membership account.
• ShapeShift reserves the right to limit membership benefits associated with multiple or duplicate accounts.
• We reserve the right to accept or refuse membership in our discretion.

Returns and Refunds Policy

You must submit a refund address for every Transaction in the event that a refund is required in accordance with our terms below. Failure to submit a refund address at the time of a Transaction may result in your ineligibility to receive a refund.

To submit a refund request, complete and submit the form available on the ShapeShift Help Center, located here: https://shapeshift.zendesk.com/hc/en-us.

1. Form of Refund
   If an error occurs with a User’s Transaction or interface on the User’s side of the Transaction, the “Order Status” page will indicate whether or not the failed Transaction will result in a refund of the User’s deposited asset or the outgoing asset which the User was purchasing.In most cases, the asset sold by the User will be refunded to the User if the Order Status page indicates the Transaction failed by displaying “failed,” or the Transaction is stuck in “awaiting” “pending confirms,” or “awaiting” stages.In most cases, the outgoing asset will be sent to the User if the Order Status indicates a successful Transaction by displaying “Done” or “Completed.”ShapeShift will handle requests from Users on a case by case basis. Any decisions by ShapeShift with respect to the refunds or exchanges are final.
2. Refund Fees
   All Transactions from ShapeShift to a user’s outgoing asset wallet are subject to all posted fees, including, but not limited to, incoming and outgoing miner fees, which may be deducted from any refund. A full list of all fees is available on the Website at https://info.shapeshift.io/about.
3. Refund Period
   Users have a maximum of ninety (90) days to reclaim any assets that are held in the ShapeShift system due to any error, whether by you or us. Refund requests submitted after such period will not be refunded. Any decisions by ShapeShift with respect to refunds in these circumstances are final.
4. Extraction Fees
   Digital assets sent to the incorrect address (e.g., GNT sent to an ETH address) will be charged an extraction fee denominated in the mis-sent asset using then-current rates. A full list of all fees is available on the Website at https://info.shapeshift.io/about. The asset extraction process may take at least ninety (90) business days. If a User wishes to expedite this process, additional charges may apply.
5. Unsupported Assets
   Unsupported digital assets that are sent into our system to unrelated wallets cannot be extracted or returned. ShapeShift reserves the right to handle this on a case-by-case basis. Any decisions by ShapeShift with respect to such assets being sent when no longer supported are final. Additionally, if a particular coin for which a refund is requested is offline at the time of the request, no return can be processed until the coin returns online.
6. Minimum Refund Amounts
   Transactions under the amount posted on fee schedule on the Website are too small to be refunded due to the mining fee and administrative costs. ShapeShift will not refund any assets that are worth less than the posted amount. Users are advised not to use the service for orders under this size.User Transactions that do not confirm within forty-eight (48) hours of being detected will be cancelled. Refund requests will be provided in accordance with our Returns and Refund Policy.

Digital Asset Transactions

1. Digital Asset Prices and Payment Acceptance.
   Digital Assets are experimental and risky. The Service attempts to provide fair and accurate price and transaction fee information, but this information is volatile and subject to change without advance notice. For a standard transaction, the price is provided at the time your payment is received and confirmed by the blockchain network, limited to the number of confirmations ShapeShift deems reasonable in order to protect ShapeShift from double spends, 51% attacks or other risks. A payment may be accepted at one block confirmation. At ShapeShift’s discretion, ShapeShift may accept a payment with zero block confirmations. For the avoidance of doubt, a payment broadcasted to the blockchain network does not constitute an acceptance by ShapeShift. You may select the “Precise Amount” feature when submitting a Transaction which provides you with a guaranteed price for a specified period of time so long as ShapeShift receives and accepts your payment within such period of time. ShapeShift only accepts one [form of payment] per Transaction ID (“TXID”). If your funds are deposited in a TXID with more than one Deposit, you will need to contact support to receive a refund. The price will not be honored and your transaction will not be completed. User Transactions that do not confirm within forty-eight (48) hours of being detected may be canceled. Refund requests will be provided in accordance with our Returns and Refund Policy.ShapeShift reserves the right to refuse to process or to cancel any pending Transaction as required by law or in response to a subpoena, court order, or other binding government order or to enforce any transaction limits. ShapeShift further reserves the right to delay any Transaction if it perceives a risk of fraud or illegal activity. ShapeShift further reserves the right to refuse to process or cancel any Transaction due to technological issues with the blockchain software, ShapeShift software, or for other technological reasons. ShapeShift cannot reverse a Transaction which has been broadcast to a blockchain network. The Service is available only in connection with those Digital Assets and Transaction limits that ShapeShift, in its sole discretion, decides to support. The Digital Assets and Transaction limits that ShapeShift supports may change from time to time. If you have any questions about which Digital Assets or Transaction limits ShapeShift currently supports, please visit shapeshift.io, or the about page, which lists the current rates for all live coins in your jurisdiction. Under no circumstances should you attempt to use the Services to store, send, request, or receive Digital Assets in any form that are not supported by ShapeShift. ShapeShift assumes no responsibility or liability in connection with any attempt to use the Service for Digital Assets that ShapeShift does not support.
   1. Underlying Protocols. ShapeShift does not own or control the underlying software protocols which govern the operation of the Digital Assets supported on our Service. In general, the underlying protocols are open source and anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute them. By using the Service you acknowledge and agree (i) that ShapeShift is not responsible for the operation of the underlying protocols and that ShapeShift makes no guarantee of their functionality, security, or availability; and (ii) that the underlying protocols are subject to sudden changes in operating rules, which may materially affect the value, function, our ability to have a particular asset listed on our site, and/or even the name of the Digital Asset. In the event of a Digital Asset fork, you agree that ShapeShift may temporarily suspend ShapeShift operations (with or without advance notice to you) and that ShapeShift may, in its sole discretion, decide whether or not to support (or cease supporting) either branch of the forked protocol entirely. You also agree that in the event you send a Transaction at the time of a Digital Asset fork, ShapeShift will only honor the originally-intended transaction that you sent. You acknowledge and agree that ShapeShift assumes absolutely no responsibility whatsoever in respect of an unsupported branch of a forked protocol.
   2. Cancellations. You cannot reverse, or change any Transaction marked as complete or pending. You may cancel your account by emailing us at [email protected], however, there are no refunds for cancellation of your account, and any amount of FOX Tokens you control will not unlock until the end of the current membership month.
   3. Returns and Refunds. ShapeShift will provide refunds solely in accordance with our Returns and Refund Policy below.
   4. Taxes. It is your sole responsibility to determine whether, and to what extent, any taxes apply to any transactions you conduct through the Service, and to withhold, collect, report and remit the correct amounts of taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. Your transaction history is available through your account.

Fox Membership

ShapeShift AG and/or its affiliates (“ShapeShift” or “We” or “Us”) offers a membership program (the “ShapeShift Membership”) which applies across all ShapeShift products and services. higher levels are optional and require FOX tokens. Members (defined below) benefit primarily from a transaction fee discount on volume transacted by the Member.

FOX tokens are thus perpetually useful for FOX Membership. They can be committed at the user’s discretion to gain FOX Membership at any time for 30-day intervals, indefinitely if the Member so chooses. The user does not spend, lose or “burn” the FOX tokens in order to become a Member. The FOX tokens simply grant access to the hodler, like a key, or a membership card.

FOX Membership is certified and enforced via an open-source smart contract and relay system called CertiFOX. To become a FOX Member, the FOX token holder must transfer the requisite amount of FOX tokens into the CertiFOX smart contract, where they are held for intervals of approximately 30-days. Though the FOX tokens are locked during these intervals, the Member maintains ultimate control of the tokens. At no point does ShapeShift take custody of the FOX tokens.

Fox Membership Terms

Welcome to the additional terms and conditions for FOX Membership (“FOX Membership Terms”). These FOX Membership Terms are between you and ShapeShift AG and/or its affiliates (“ShapeShift” or “We” or “Us”) and govern our respective rights and obligations. Please note that the Fox Membership is also governed by the agreements listed and linked to below, as well as all other applicable terms, conditions, limitations, and requirements on the Websites, all of which (as changed over time) are incorporated into these FOX Membership Terms.

If you sign up for a FOX Membership, you accept these terms, conditions, limitations, and requirements

• Terms of Service
• Privacy Policy
• Returns and Refunds Policy

All capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning given to them in the Terms of Service. Nothing in these FOX Membership Terms shall be construed to amend or contradict the Terms of Service unless explicitly stated. If there is a conflict between the Terms of Service and the FOX Membership Terms, these FOX Membership Terms control.

1. Membership Cancellation
   FOX Memberships auto-renew every 30-day interval, until you choose not to renew. If not renewed, the FOX Membership ends after the current 30-day period, and you will receive back the same amount of FOX tokens that were committed to initiate the FOX Membership. You may withdraw FOX tokens that are not committed at any time.
2. Agreement Changes
   We may in our discretion change these FOX Membership Terms, the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Returns, and Refunds Policy, or any aspect of the FOX Membership, without notice to you.

YOUR CONTINUED MEMBERSHIP AFTER WE CHANGE THESE FOX MEMBERSHIP TERMS CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGES.
3. Regulatory determinations may make the FOX Tokens illegal in certain jurisdictions or for certain categories of investors
   It is possible that current or future regulations could make ShapeShift and/or FOX Tokens illegal in some jurisdictions, or for some categories of investors, which could possibly result in a winding down of ShapeShift, or a decrease in value of ShapeShift or the FOX Tokens. Because the FOX Tokens have not been formally classified by regulatory agencies, it is possible that subsequent determinations by regulators may prevent certain individuals or entities from using or holding FOX Tokens in the future. Such a determination could materially reduce the functionality and demand for the FOX Tokens.
4. Limitations
   

• Members are prohibited from having more than one membership account.
• ShapeShift reserves the right to limit membership benefits associated with multiple or duplicate accounts.
• We reserve the right to accept or refuse membership in our discretion.

Returns and Refunds Policy

You must submit a refund address for every Transaction in the event that a refund is required in accordance with our terms below. Failure to submit a refund address at the time of a Transaction may result in your ineligibility to receive a refund.

To submit a refund request, complete and submit the form available on the ShapeShift Help Center, located here: https://shapeshift.zendesk.com/hc/en-us.

1. Form of Refund
   If an error occurs with a User’s Transaction or interface on the User’s side of the Transaction, the “Order Status” page will indicate whether or not the failed Transaction will result in a refund of the User’s deposited asset or the outgoing asset which the User was purchasing. In most cases, the asset sold by the User will be refunded to the User if the Order Status page indicates the Transaction failed by displaying “failed,” or the Transaction is stuck in “awaiting” “pending confirms,” or “awaiting” stages. In most cases, the outgoing asset will be sent to the User if the Order Status indicates a successful Transaction by displaying “Done” or “Completed.”ShapeShift will handle requests from Users on a case by case basis. Any decisions by ShapeShift with respect to the refunds or exchanges are final.
2. Refund Fees
   All Transactions from ShapeShift to a user’s outgoing asset wallet are subject to all posted fees, including, but not limited to, incoming and outgoing miner fees, which may be deducted from any refund. A full list of all fees is available on the Website at https://info.shapeshift.io/about.
3. Refund Period
   Users have a maximum of ninety (90) days to reclaim any assets that are held in the ShapeShift system due to any error, whether by you or us. Refund requests submitted after such period will not be refunded. Any decisions by ShapeShift with respect to refunds in these circumstances are final.
4. Extraction Fees
   Digital assets sent to the incorrect address (e.g., GNT sent to an ETH address) will be charged an extraction fee denominated in the mis-sent asset using then-current rates. A full list of all fees is available on the Website at https://info.shapeshift.io/about. The asset extraction process may take at least ninety (90) business days. If a User wishes to expedite this process, additional charges may apply.
5. Unsupported Assets
   Unsupported digital assets that are sent into our system to unrelated wallets cannot be extracted or returned. ShapeShift reserves the right to handle this on a case-by-case basis. Any decisions by ShapeShift with respect to such assets being sent when no longer supported are final. Additionally, if a particular coin for which a refund is requested is offline at the time of the request, no return can be processed until the coin returns online.
6. Minimum Refund Amounts
   Transactions under the amount posted on fee schedule on the Website are too small to be refunded due to the mining fee and administrative costs. ShapeShift will not refund any assets that are worth less than the posted amount. Users are advised not to use the service for orders under this size. User Transactions that do not confirm within forty-eight (48) hours of being detected will be canceled. Refund requests will be provided in accordance with our Returns and Refund Policy.
