ACCOUNT REGISTRATION, VERIFICATION AND ACCESS
- You must register for an Account to use the Services. By registering or using an Account, you represent and warrant that you have created your Account and you will use your Account only for yourself, and not on behalf of any third party, unless you have obtained prior written approval from us. You are responsible at all times for all activity that occurs under your Account. We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to open an Account or suspend or terminate any Account or any use thereof, including without limitation any trading or transfer of digital assets using your Account.
- As part of the registration process, you agree to provide us with the information we request for the purposes of verifying your identity, preventing and detecting fraud, money laundering and terrorist financing, complying with applicable law and to provide our Services. We may engage a third party service provider to collect and process your information. The information we request may include certain personal information, including without limitation your full legal name, physical address, e-mail address, wallet address, telephone number, date of birth, taxpayer identification number and government identification. In providing us with this or any other information that may be required, you confirm that the information is complete, accurate and up-to-date. You agree to update us promptly if any of the information you provide changes. You authorise us to take any action we believe to be reasonably necessary to verify your identity and the information you provide us and to protect your and/or our interests against fraud and financial crimes, including without limitation by making inquiries with or through third parties. We may retain your information as permitted by law or our internal procedures. We will not be able to provide the Services until we have obtained the required information. We may request similar or additional information from time to time to update our records, ensure we are in compliance with applicable law and/or follow best practice (as determined by us).

THE SERVICES
- The Services of Enclave allow you to buy, sell and trade digital assets and, when available on the Site, perpetuals contracts that reference digital assets as the underlying reference asset ("Perpetuals Contracts") in a cryptographically secure computing environment. By using the Site or the Services, you acknowledge, understand and agree that:
- the Services are available via authentication through a web3 wallet (or third-party provider). You retain control over your external self-custodial wallet in order to login to the platform to take any action or approve external transfers of digital assets. No single person or entity has the ability to take this action on your behalf. You are therefore solely responsible for the safeguarding, retention and security of your seed phrase, private keys and password. Your seed phrase is associated with your external, self-custodial wallet. You do not have a seed phrase that is unique to Enclave, or that is otherwise issued or controlled by Enclave. Your seed phrase is the master key that allows you to access your Account. If you lose your seed phrase, you will not be able to access your digital assets or authenticate yourself to gain access to your Account. No one at Enclave will be able to recover your seed phrase, private key or password. Do not share your seed phrase, private keys or password with anyone. Anyone who knows your seed phrase will be able to access and transfer your digital assets. You acknowledge that we do not store and are not responsible in any way for the safeguarding, retention, security or recovery of your seed phrase, private keys or password;
- the Services operate on Intel Software Guard Extensions technology, which provides hardware-based encryption for sensitive aspects of the trading platform (the "Secure Module"). A set of qualified attestors ("Attestors") collectively participate in the security of the Secure Module, including by authenticating code changes;
- you will only access the Services, including sending, buying, selling and trading digital assets and, when available on the Site, Perpetuals Contracts using the Site. We will provide you with a digital wallet address (the "Enclave Wallet") to deposit your digital assets into. Do not send digital assets to any other address. Do not send digital assets on the wrong blockchain. You acknowledge that sending digital assets to a wallet address is a permanent, irreversible action, and that we are unable to recover digital assets that you send to incorrect addresses. We will not be liable or responsible for any losses you incur if you send digital assets to an incorrect address;
- the Services only supports certain digital assets ("Supported Digital Assets"). You undertake to not use or attempt to use the Site to buy, sell, trade, send, request or receive any assets other than Supported Digital Assets. Enclave will not be responsible for any attempt to use the Site or the Services to buy, sell, trade, send, request or receive any assets that we do not support. In addition, Enclave may in its sole discretion terminate support for any Supported Digital Asset;
- your use of the Services may be subject to a minimum or maximum transaction size, whether on a per-transaction basis or over a particular time period. Enclave reserves the right to change applicable limits, and to refuse to raise your limits, as we deem necessary in our sole discretion;
- none of the information made available on the Site, including without limitation any bid, offer, price, quantity, volume, depth or other data, represents an offer or a solicitation of an offer to enter into a transaction with Enclave (other than payment of any transaction fees to Enclave) or financial or investment advice;
- Enclave does not act as an agent for you or any other user of the Site or the Services; and
- Enclave does not act as a principal or counterparty for transactions entered into on the Site except that (a) Enclave may act as a counterparty for limited trades made for the purpose of liquidating fees collected on user transactions, or when available on the Site, for purposes of liquidating a User’s positions in Perpetuals Contracts (b) affiliates of Enclave may execute trades on the Site, provided that such affiliates shall not be afforded any priority in trade execution.
- Enclave may contract with unaffiliated market makers to promote liquidity and facilitate trading on the Site and with respect to certain of Enclave‘s other trading products and services. Enclave’s determinations concerning whether and how to onboard such market makers are made entirely at its sole and absolute discretion. You acknowledge, agree, and accept that (1) such market makers may enter into any transaction with you as your counterparty; (2) such market makers may also maintain positions in various digital assets as part of their market making activities, including positions in digital assets that are contrary to your positions; and (3) under no circumstances shall we or any of the Indemnified Parties be responsible or liable for any direct or indirect Losses (including loss of profits, business, or opportunities) suffered by you or any other person or entity as a result of the market making activities of the market makers.
THE PERPETUALS SERVICES
- In General. Enclave facilitates and enables eligible users to enter into perpetuals contracts with other eligible users of the Enclave Global Platform (the “Perpetuals Services”) that reference digital assets as the underlying reference asset. These contracts (“Perpetuals Contracts”) allow you to trade on the basis of an agreed future price of a particular digital asset, with no fixed expiry date (each transaction of this nature being defined as a “Perpetuals Transaction”). These Perpetuals Contracts are entered into between you and other users on the Enclave Global Platform only and by entering into a Perpetuals Contract you enter into a binding agreement with the other user on the terms and conditions of that contract that are set out on the Site at the time you place such order and represented by the automated code that executes such Perpetuals Contract. A discussion of the risks involved in using Perpetuals Contracts is included below under the heading “Risks Related to Trading using Perpetuals.” You acknowledge and agree that this is not an exhaustive list of all of the risks associated with trading in Perpetuals Contracts or your use of the Perpetuals Services.
- Non-externally transferrable. By using the Perpetuals Services: (a) you can only enter into Perpetuals Contracts with other users of the Enclave Global Platform; (b) you cannot transfer Perpetuals Contracts to other platforms or enter into secondary trading in respect of them; and (c) any open Perpetuals Contract positions can only be closed and the corresponding Perpetuals Contract terminated on the Enclave Global Platform.
- Trading & Margin.
- Limit on liability. Your aggregate liability with respect to your open positions under Perpetuals Contracts you enter into is limited to an amount equal to your Margin Balance (defined below). You acknowledge and agree that the liability of a counterparty under a Perpetuals Contract with you shall be limited to the amounts of funding fee and settlement paid in respect of that Perpetuals Contract and you waive any right to bring any claim against that counterparty, us, or any other person for any other amount.
- Insurance fund. As a user of the Perpetuals Services you may benefit from payments to you in respect of a Perpetuals Contract that are funded by a reserve of our assets (the "Insurance Fund") that we may apply to fund shortfalls of accounts that are subject to Liquidation under Clause 3.3.12. The Insurance Fund and Socialisation, as defined in clause 3.3.3, are intended to protect you in whole or in part against the failure of another user to maintain sufficient margin in respect of its position under a Perpetuals Contracts with you.
- Socialisation. You acknowledge and agree that if the Insurance Fund is depleted during a period of exceptional trading conditions and at that time you hold open positions or maintain a Margin Balance in excess of the Maintenance Margin Requirement you may be subject to adverse trades solely to the extent necessary in order to fund shortfalls of other accounts that do not have sufficient margin (any such trades, "Socialisation").
- Funding payments. You acknowledge and agree that by entering in a Perpetuals Contract, you will pay the funding fees for that contract. You agree that Enclave has the right to change the funding fees at its sole discretion.
- Margin Requirements. In order to enter into a Perpetuals Transaction the sum of (A) our valuation of the total Collateral as defined under Clause 3.3.6 you have transferred to us less (i) an amount equal to funding fees settled by us in accordance with Clause 3.3.4, (ii) an amount equal to settlement amounts settled by us, and (iii) our valuation of any assets we refund to you under Clause 3.3.11 below, (iv) our valuation of any assets that we would have been obligated to transfer to you under Clause 3.3.11 below but for our right of set-off in respect of the same that have been set off against any liability owed by you to us; and (v) if your Account has been liquidated by us pursuant to Clause 3.3.12 our valuation of the assets that we have transferred to counterparties to your Perpetuals Transactions, (the difference, the "Funded Margin Component") and (B) our valuation of your unrealized profits and losses from open Perpetuals Transactions (if any) to which you are a party (if a positive amount, the "Accrued Margin") (such sum, your “Margin Balance”), less the Maintenance Margin Requirement (defined below) must be at least equal to the required margin amount for that Perpetuals Transaction (the "Required Margin Amount"). The Required Margin Amount, digital asset types eligible to be transferred to constitute Collateral (“Supported Margin Digital Assets") will be notified to you from time to time (the "Margin Requirements"). The Margin Requirements will set out how the Required Margin Amount is calculated, applicable haircuts, how to maintain appropriate Margin Balance, the timing for transfer of Collateral (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be on an intraday basis) and other important requirements. You acknowledge and agree that Enclave has the right to make amendments to the Margin Requirements in its sole discretion at any time without prior notice. By entering into a Perpetuals Contract you agree to comply with, and be subject to, the Margin Requirements in effect at the time you enter into the relevant Perpetuals Contract and as notified to you from time to time thereafter.
- Collateral. For the purpose of satisfying the requirement for Margin Balance you may transfer to Enclave USDC or other Supported Margin Digital Assets (if any) (such transferred assets, the or your “Collateral”). If you elect to transfer Collateral you shall transfer such assets to the digital asset wallet that we notify to you. You acknowledge and agree that Enclave is not liable for any losses you incur as a result of you transferring a digital asset to constitute Collateral that is not a Supported Collateral Digital Asset.
- Absolute transfer of title to Collateral. You acknowledge and agree that when you transfer Collateral to us you transfer to us full ownership of such Collateral. All of your right, title and interest in Collateral, including without limitation assets transferred to us as contemplated in Clause 3.3.4 is transferred to us absolutely. You agree, represent and warrant that all right, title, and interest in and to any Collateral that is paid or transferred to us shall vest in us free and clear of any liens, claims, charges or encumbrances or any other interest. You agree that you will not bring any claim for, or assert any interest or right in respect of, Collateral that we receive. You will indemnify and hold us harmless on demand against any Losses we incur as a result of you (or any person including without limitation any person claiming by or through you or on your behalf) bringing any claim or asserting any interest or right in respect of Collateral that is transferred to us.
- Entering into a Perpetuals Transaction. To enter into a Perpetuals Contract, you must first place an order to enter into a Perpetuals Contract on the Enclave Global Platform (an “Order”). If the sum of your Margin Balance is at least equal to the Required Margin Amount for the proposed Perpetuals Contract for which you have placed an Order then subject to our determination of eligibility under Clause 3.3.9 such Order can be executed and accepted by the counterparty as further described in paragraph 3.3.9. If the Margin Balance is less than the Required Margin Amount for the proposed Perpetuals Contract for which you have placed an Order then you will not be able to enter into that Perpetuals Contract until the Margin Balance is at least equal to such Required Margin Amount.
- Order Acceptance & Rejection. When you place an Order, Enclave will review that Order and determine, in its sole discretion, whether that Order is eligible to be accepted by another customer as counterparty. If Enclave determines the Order is eligible and such Order is accepted by another customer, an open Perpetuals Contract position will be reflected in your Account and that Perpetuals Contract will be open and will be contractually binding upon you and the counterparty. If Enclave determines that an Order is not eligible then you will be notified of that determination via the Enclave Global Platform and no part of your Margin Balance will thereafter be considered to constitute the Required Margin Amount for the prospective Perpetuals Contract in respect of which the Order was placed. Enclave will not be liable for any loss suffered as a result of the non-execution of a Perpetuals Contract due to Enclave's determination that an Order is not an eligible Order.
- Maintenance Margin. Once you have entered into a Perpetuals Transaction, you must ensure that the aggregate amount of Margin Balance stays above the value of the aggregate Required Margin Amount required in respect of all open Perpetuals Transactions to which you are a party (the “Maintenance Margin Requirement”). It is your responsibility to maintain a Margin Balance that meets or exceeds the Maintenance Margin Requirement and to monitor it. If you do not maintain your Margin Balance above the Maintenance Margin Requirement required at any time, your open Perpetuals Contract positions will be subject to Liquidation in accordance with our liquidation processes in place at the relevant time, as further described in Clause 3.3.12 below.
- Transfer to you of assets equivalent to Collateral. At any time you may request that we transfer to you the same type/s of assets that we have received as Collateral in an amount that does not exceed the Funded Margin Component and that does not result in the Margin Balance being reduced below the Maintenance Margin.
- Liquidation. If you do not meet your Maintenance Margin Requirement we shall suspend your use of the Perpetuals Services and for the period of such suspension you shall not be entitled to use the Perpetuals Services and you agree that (i) we will automatically select, at our discretion, one or more of your open Perpetuals Contract positions for close-out as we deem necessary to increase your Margin Balance or to prevent any reduction of your Margin Balance (any such close-out, a "Liquidation") and we will apply a liquidation fee of 1.5% or such other amount as we notify you from time to time; (ii) we may submit orders for your Account in our sole discretion provided that Enclave will use reasonable endeavours to submit orders for the price at which your losses equal the Margin Balance (or the “Bankruptcy Price”). Without prejudice to the foregoing, Enclave will have the right to manage liquidated positions and orders placed pursuant to this Clause at its discretion. Enclave reserves the right to make amendments to its liquidation processes in its sole discretion at any time without prior notice. You acknowledge and agree that if we close-out any of your Perpetuals Contract positions pursuant to this Clause you may incur Losses (including a reduction of profit) in relation to that position and, without prejudice to the extent of the limitation or exclusion of our liability under any other provision of these Terms, you acknowledge and agree that we shall not owe any liability to you whatsoever for any such Losses.
- Set-off. Without prejudice to any other right of set-off we may have under applicable law, you acknowledge and agree that we may set off any liability of whatever nature, denominated in any digital asset or fiat currency, and howsoever arising due from you to us against any liability we owe to you, whether either liability is present or future, liquidated or unliquidated, and whether or not either liability arises under these Terms. You further acknowledge and agree that you shall pay or transfer all amounts or assets due under these Terms from you to us in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
- Binding Arbitration. THIS CLAUSE CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THEY AFFECT YOUR AND OUR RIGHTS CONCERNING THE RESOLUTION OF ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US.
- Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Enclave agree that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for a Dispute shall be final and binding arbitration pursuant to this Clause titled "Dispute Resolution" unless you opt out as provided below. "Dispute" shall include any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms (including in relation to the formation of the agreement between us) and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from these Terms including without limitation any non-contractual claims (whether in tort or otherwise), and (except to the extent provided otherwise in the Clause titled "No Class Actions") the validity or enforceability of the Clause titled "Dispute Resolution", any part thereof, or the entire Terms. You and we both further agree to waive our right to a jury trial.
- Exceptions to Arbitration. You and Enclave agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a party; and (b) any claim for injunctive relief (together, "Reserved Claims").
- Opt Out of Arbitration. You may opt out of the binding arbitration described in this Clause by sending us written notice of your desire to do so by email at [email protected] (such notice, an "Arbitration Opt-out Notice") within 30 days following the date you first agree to these Terms. The Arbitration Opt-out Notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. If you do not provide us with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within the relevant 30-day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute other than Reserved Claims.
- Arbitration. Any Dispute shall be referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Cayman International Mediation and Arbitration Centre Ltd (the "CIMAC Rules") in force as at the date of these Terms, which CIMAC Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause. The number of arbitrators shall be three. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The CIMAC Rules and instructions for how to initiate an arbitration are available from the Cayman International Mediation and Arbitration Centre Ltd at: https://www.caymanarbitration.com/.
- Arbitration Location and Procedure. The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be the Cayman Islands and the arbitration proceedings will be held in Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands. The results of the arbitration procedure will be considered confidential information of you and us. Any arbitration decision rendered will be final and binding, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Arbitration Fees. If we initiate an arbitration, we shall pay all filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). If you initiate an arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in accordance with the CIMAC Rules, or in accordance with countervailing law if contrary to the CIMAC Rules. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorneys’ fees, except as otherwise provided by law. If a statute gives you the right to recover any of these fees, these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein.
- No Class Actions. You and Enclave agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the parties individually. TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, (A) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER PROCEEDING; (B) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILISE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; AND (C) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR ANY OTHER PERSONS. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of such parties only, and only with respect to the claims in arbitration, and shall not (a) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than all parties to the arbitration, or resolve any Dispute of anyone other than any such party; nor (b) make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone other than any such party. No arbitrator shall have the power or authority to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this specific paragraph, and any attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. If this Clause titled "No Class Actions" is held unenforceable in its entirety, then the entire Dispute Resolution Clause will be deemed void.
JUDICIAL FORUM FOR DISPUTES
- Each of you and Enclave irrevocably agrees that the Cayman Islands courts have exclusive jurisdiction to hear, determine and settle any proceedings in respect of Reserved Claims and each of you and Enclave irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands courts, provided that nothing in this Clause shall (or be construed so as to) limit the ability or right of Enclave to bring proceedings against any other party in any other jurisdictions, whether concurrently or otherwise (to the extent allowed by law).
- Each of you and Enclave irrevocably waives (and irrevocably agrees not to raise) any objection which it might at any time have on the grounds of forum non conveniens or on any other ground to proceedings being taken in any court referred to in this Clause, and agrees that any judgment in proceedings taken in any such court shall be conclusive and binding on it and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction.
RISKS AND EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY
THE SITE AND THE SERVICES ARE DEVELOPED USING, AND MADE AVAILABLE ON, BLOCKCHAIN AND SECURE COMPUTING TECHNOLOGIES.

YOU ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THIS CLAUSE DOES NOT CONTAIN AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF ALL OF THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH DIGITAL ASSETS, THE SITE AND THE SERVICES.
FLOW OF FUNDS
- AS SUCH, YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFEGUARDING, RETENTION AND SECURITY OF YOUR SEED PHRASE, PRIVATE KEYS AND PASSWORD OF ANY WALLET YOU USE TO AUTHENTICATE ON THE ENCLAVE GLOBAL PLATFORM. IF YOU LOSE YOUR SEED PHRASE, PRIVATE KEYS OR PASSWORD, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS OR AUTHENTICATE YOURSELF TO GAIN ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT. NO ONE AT ENCLAVE WILL BE ABLE TO RECOVER YOUR SEED PHRASE, PRIVATE KEY OR PASSWORD OR THE DIGITAL ASSETS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH. YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD US HARMLESS ON DEMAND FROM AND AGAINST ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, LIABILITY, CLAIM, OR DEMAND ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOSS OF YOUR SEED PHRASE, PRIVATE KEYS OR PASSWORD.
- WHEN YOU DEPOSIT YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS INTO YOUR ACCOUNT, THEY ARE TRACKED BY THE ENCLAVE WALLET THAT IS PROGRAMMATICALLY MANAGED BY THE SECURE MODULE. WHILE THE SECURE MODULE IS DEVELOPED AND DEPLOYED USING INDUSTRY STANDARD SECURE COMPUTING BEST PRACTICES, SUCH TECHNOLOGY MAY NONETHELESS BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO NEW AND EXISTING HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE SECURITY VULNERABILITIES. AS COMPUTER AND CYBERSECURITY RESEARCH CONTINUES TO EVOLVE, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ADVANCES IN SUCH RESEARCH INCREASE THE RISK OF A CYBERSECURITY ATTACK OR OTHER BREACH, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE THEFT OR LOSS OF ALL DIGITAL ASSETS, INCLUDING YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS, THAT ARE TRACKED BY THE ENCLAVE WALLET.
- ATTESTORS COLLECTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN THE SECURITY OF THE SECURE MODULE AND AUTHENTICATE CODE CHANGES TO THE SECURE MODULE. WHILE THE ATTESTORS ARE EXPERIENCED BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGISTS, THEY MAY NONETHELESS BE VULNERABLE TO SOPHISTICATED CYBERSECURITY ATTACKS. A CYBERSECURITY ATTACK OR OTHER BREACH MAY RESULT IN THE THEFT OR LOSS OF ALL DIGITAL ASSETS, INCLUDING YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS, THAT ARE TRACKED BY THE ENCLAVE WALLET. IN ADDITION, AS PART OF THE GOVERNANCE PROCESS, ATTESTORS MAY DETERMINE IN THEIR DISCRETION THAT ONE OR MORE ATTESTORS SHOULD BE REMOVED OR REPLACED AND THAT ONE OR MORE EXPERIENCED BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGISTS SHOULD BE ADDED AS AN ADJUDICATOR. YOU AGREE THAT ENCLAVE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS, COST OR DAMAGE YOU MAY INCUR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ADJUDICATOR PARTICIPATING IN THE GOVERNANCE PROCESS OR TAKING ANY RELATED ACTIONS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY RESULTING LACK OF AVAILABILITY OR DEGRADED PERFORMANCE OF THE SITE.

DIGITAL ASSET VOLATILITY AND CHARACTERISTICS
- BUYING, HOLDING, SELLING AND TRADING DIGITAL ASSETS INVOLVE CERTAIN RISKS OF FINANCIAL LOSS. ANY DIGITAL ASSET MAY BE SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATIONS IN VALUE, INCLUDING A TOTAL LOSS OF VALUE. THE VOLATILITY AND UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE PRICE OF DIGITAL ASSETS RELATIVE TO FIAT CURRENCY MAY RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT LOSS OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE NATURE OF DIGITAL ASSETS MAY LEAD TO AN INCREASED RISK OF FRAUD OR CYBER-ATTACK. THE NATURE OF DIGITAL ASSETS MEANS THAT ANY TECHNOLOGICAL DIFFICULTIES EXPERIENCED BY ENCLAVE MAY PREVENT YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS. YOU SHOULD NOT ENGAGE IN ACTIVE TRADING ON THE SITE IF YOU HAVE LIMITED TRADING EXPERIENCE OR A LOW RISK TOLERANCE. SPECULATING ON THE VALUE OF DIGITAL ASSETS IS HIGH RISK AND YOU SHOULD NEVER TRADE MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THESE RISKS AND AGREE THAT WE CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY FLUCTUATIONS OR LOSS OF VALUE.
- DIGITAL ASSETS AND THEIR UNDERLYING BLOCKCHAIN NETWORKS ARE COMPLEX EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE TYPICALLY GLOBALLY DISTRIBUTED ACROSS MULTIPLE, UNAFFILIATED NODES. THEY MAY EXPERIENCE DELAYS, HALTS OR GO OFFLINE AS A RESULT OF ERRORS, FORKS, ATTACKS OR OTHER UNFORESEEABLE REASONS. THEY ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO SPECULATIVE INTEREST AND REGULATORY ATTENTION, WHICH MAY CONTRIBUTE TO PRICE VOLATILITY AND LIQUIDITY CONSTRAINTS. THE AVAILABILITY OF A DIGITAL ASSET ON THE SITE DOES NOT INDICATE ENCLAVE’S APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL OF THE DIGITAL ASSET OR ITS UNDERLYING TECHNOLOGY AND SHOULD NOT BE TREATED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING OF THE RISKS SPECIFIC TO EACH DIGITAL ASSET. WE PROVIDE NO WARRANTY AS TO THE SUITABILITY OF ANY DIGITAL ASSETS AND ASSUME NO FIDUCIARY DUTY TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.
- ALL DIGITAL ASSET TRANSACTIONS, WHETHER ON OR OFF THE SITE, ARE IRREVERSIBLE. YOU ACCEPT ALL CONSEQUENCES OF BUYING, SELLING OR SENDING DIGITAL ASSETS. ONCE YOUR ORDER IS MATCHED, NEITHER WE NOR YOU WILL BE ABLE TO REVERSE THE TRANSACTION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WHETHER OR NOT YOU ENTERED THE WRONG DIGITAL ASSET, QUANTITY OR PRICE. ONCE YOU SEND DIGITAL ASSETS TO AN ADDRESS, YOU ACCEPT THE RISK THAT YOU MAY PERMANENTLY LOSE ACCESS TO IT. FOR EXAMPLE, AN ADDRESS MAY NOT BE ASSOCIATED WITH A SPECIFIC DIGITAL ASSET, AN ADDRESS MAY HAVE BEEN ENTERED INCORRECTLY AND THE PERSON ASSOCIATED WITH THE ADDRESS MAY NEVER BE DISCOVERED OR AN ADDRESS MAY BELONG TO A PERSON THAT WILL NOT RETURN YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS. YOU ASSUME ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSSES INCURRED AS A RESULT OF YOUR TRANSACTIONS OR TRANSFERS OF DIGITAL ASSETS. YOU ARE SOLELY LIABLE FOR VERIFYING THE ACCURACY OF ANY EXTERNAL WALLET ADDRESS AND THE IDENTITY OF THE RECIPIENT. ENCLAVE DOES NOT CONTROL ANY BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK AND CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY TRANSFER WILL BE CONFIRMED OR TRANSFERRED SUCCESSFULLY BY THE NETWORK. ENCLAVE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSSES OR FOR TAKING ANY ACTIONS TO ATTEMPT TO RECOVER ANY LOST, STOLEN, MISDIRECTED OR IRRECOVERABLE DIGITAL ASSETS.
TECHNICAL AND OPERATIONAL RISKS
- THE TECHNOLOGY UNDERLYING DIGITAL ASSETS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION SECURE COMPUTING, APPLIED CRYPTOGRAPHY, BLOCKCHAIN, NETWORKING AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS, AND SMART CONTRACTS, IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME. SUCH CHANGES MAY AFFECT THE SITE, THE SERVICES AND YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS TRACKED BY THE SITE. YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MONITORING SUCH TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES AND UNDERSTANDING THEIR IMPACT ON YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS.
- THE DIGITAL ASSETS AND THEIR UNDERLYING NETWORKS ARE UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND CONTINUE TO EVOLVE. AS SUCH, THEY MAY BE SUBJECT TO MATERIAL AND SUDDEN CHANGES THAT MAY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE AVAILABILITY, USABILITY OR VALUE OF A PARTICULAR DIGITAL ASSET. IN ADDITION, AS A GENERAL MATTER, THE OPERATIONS, FUNCTIONALITIES, DEVELOPMENT AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF DIGITAL ASSETS AND THEIR UNDERLYING NETWORKS ARE BEYOND ENCLAVE’S CONTROL. YOU AGREE NOT TO HOLD ENCLAVE LIABLE FOR ANY RELATED LOSSES.
- BLOCKCHAIN NETWORKS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO VARIOUS ATTACKS SUCH AS AN ATTACK IN WHICH AN ATTACKER GAINS CONTROL OF A REQUISITE MINING OR VALIDATING POWER ON THE NETWORK. ENCLAVE CANNOT PREVENT OR MITIGATE ATTACKS ON BLOCKCHAIN NETWORKS AND HAS NO OBLIGATION TO ENGAGE IN ACTIVITY IN RELATION TO SUCH ATTACKS. IN THE EVENT OF AN ATTACK, ENCLAVE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TAKE (OR TO NOT TAKE) ACTIONS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMMEDIATELY HALTING TRADING, DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS FOR A DIGITAL ASSET IF WE BELIEVE THAT THE DIGITAL ASSET’S NETWORK IS COMPROMISED OR UNDER ATTACK. IF SUCH AN ATTACK CAUSED THE DIGITAL ASSET TO GREATLY DECREASE IN VALUE, WE MAY DISCONTINUE TRADING IN SUCH DIGITAL ASSET ENTIRELY. WE WILL REVIEW AND RESOLVE ISSUES ARISING FROM SUCH ACTIONS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.
- WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE SITE WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES. WE MAY EXPERIENCE HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE ERRORS, OPERATIONAL OR TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, DENIAL-OF-SERVICE ATTACKS, OTHER CYBERATTACKS, OR OTHER PROBLEMS OR NEED TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE RELATED TO THE SITE, RESULTING IN INTERRUPTIONS, DELAYS, OR ERRORS. THE SERVICES MAY BECOME UNAVAILABLE OR EXPERIENCE PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION FROM TIME TO TIME, SUCH AS DURING PERIODS OF HIGH VOLATILITY, HIGH VOLUME, NETWORK CONGESTION, NETWORK UPGRADES OR SOFTWARE UPDATES. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY ORDER WILL BE TRANSMITTED, EXECUTED OR REMAIN OPEN. YOU AGREE TO ACCEPT THE RISK OF TRANSACTION FAILURE RESULTING FROM SUCH ISSUES. YOU AGREE THAT WE HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, OR INCONVENIENCE CAUSED BY YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SITE DURING ANY DOWNTIME OR DISCONTINUANCE OF THE SITE, INCLUDING ANY DELAYS IN TRANSMITTING, EXECUTING OR PROCESSING ORDERS.
- THE SITE DOES NOT FACILITATE OR SUPPORT THE DISTRIBUTION OF DIGITAL ASSETS BASED UPON A TRIGGERING EVENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION AIRDROPS, FORKS, STAKING REWARDS OR ANY OTHER DISTRIBUTION THAT USERS MAY OTHERWISE BE ENTITLED TO CLAIM BASED ON THEIR ACTIVITY OR POSSESSION OF A DIGITAL ASSET INDEPENDENT OF THE SITE (COLLECTIVELY, A "DIGITAL ASSET DISTRIBUTION"). ENCLAVE MAY, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, ELECT TO SUPPORT ANY DIGITAL ASSET DISTRIBUTION. HOWEVER, ENCLAVE IS NOT OBLIGATED TO DO SO AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR FAILING TO DO SO, OR FOR INITIATING AND SUBSEQUENTLY TERMINATING SUCH SUPPORT. IF YOU HOLD SUCH DIGITAL ASSETS IN YOUR ACCOUNT, YOU AGREE TO FORFEIT THE ABILITY TO CLAIM ANY DIGITAL ASSET DISTRIBUTIONS FROM US.

- ENCLAVE IS REGISTERED WITH THE CAYMAN ISLANDS MONETARY AUTHORITY AS A VIRTUAL ASSET SERVICE PROVIDER. IT IS NOT REGISTERED WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE U.S. COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION AND DOES NOT PROVIDE SECURITIES SERVICES IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS (AS DEFINED IN APPLICABLE U.S. REGULATORY REGIMES).

RESTRICTED ADDRESSES
- ENCLAVE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO BLACKLIST CERTAIN ACCOUNTS, BLOCK CERTAIN DIGITAL WALLET ADDRESSES FROM USING THE SITE AND FREEZE ASSOCIATED DIGITAL ASSETS, WHETHER TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY, THAT IT DETERMINES, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, ARE ASSOCIATED WITH RESTRICTED PERSONS, RESTRICTED TERRITORIES, ILLEGAL ACTIVITY OR ACTIVITY THAT OTHERWISE VIOLATES THE TERMS (COLLECTIVELY, "RESTRICTED ADDRESSES"). IF YOU SEND DIGITAL ASSETS TO A RESTRICTED ADDRESS OR RECEIVE DIGITAL ASSETS FROM A RESTRICTED ADDRESS, ENCLAVE MAY FREEZE SUCH DIGITAL ASSETS AND TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT.
- IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, ENCLAVE MAY BE LEGALLY REQUIRED OR DEEM IT NECESSARY TO REPORT SUSPECTED ACTIVITY TO APPLICABLE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITIES, AND YOU MAY FORFEIT ANY RIGHTS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS, INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO TRADE OR WITHDRAW YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS.
TAX AND COMPLIANCE
- DIGITAL ASSETS MAY BE SUBJECT TO TAXATION. IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO DETERMINE WHETHER, AND TO WHAT EXTENT, ANY TAXES APPLY TO ANY TRANSACTIONS YOU CONDUCT USING THE SERVICES, AND TO WITHHOLD, COLLECT, REPORT AND REMIT THE CORRECT AMOUNTS OF TAXES TO THE APPROPRIATE TAX AUTHORITIES.
- YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLYING WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS. YOU AGREE THAT ENCLAVE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER OR WHICH LAWS AND REGULATIONS MAY APPLY TO YOU OR YOUR TRANSACTIONS.
LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY RISKS
- THE REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT CONCERNING DIGITAL ASSETS AND DIGITAL ASSET-RELATED TRANSACTIONS CONTINUES TO DEVELOP. THE APPLICATION AND INTERPRETATION OF EXISTING LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE OFTEN LARGELY UNTESTED AND THERE IS A LACK OF CERTAINTY AS TO HOW THEY WILL BE APPLIED. NEW LAWS AND REGULATIONS WILL BE PROMULGATED IN THE FUTURE THAT APPLY TO BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY AND DIGITAL ASSETS AND RELATED SERVICES PROVIDERS. ANY SUCH LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY CHANGES OR ACTIONS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE USAGE, TRANSFERABILITY, TRANSACTABILITY AND VALUE OF DIGITAL ASSETS, OR YOUR ACCESS TO, AND OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE, THE SERVICES. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PREDICT HOW SUCH CHANGES WOULD AFFECT THE PRICE AND LIQUIDITY OF PERPETUALS CONTRACTS, DIGITAL ASSETS GENERALLY OR THE SERVICES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THE RISKS THAT SUCH CHANGES MAY BRING, AND THAT ENCLAVE IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY RESULTING ADVERSE IMPACT TO YOU.
- REGULATORY ACTIONS COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT DIGITAL ASSETS AND DIGITAL ASSET-RELATED TRANSACTIONS IN VARIOUS WAYS, INCLUDING, FOR PURPOSES OF ILLUSTRATION ONLY, THROUGH A DETERMINATION (WITH RETROSPECTIVE OR PROSPECTIVE EFFECT) THAT DIGITAL ASSETS OR THEIR DERIVATIVES ARE REGULATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS REQUIRING REGISTRATION OR LICENSING IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS. WE MAY HAVE TO LIMIT THE AVAILABILITY OF CERTAIN CONTRACTS OR DISALLOW USERS BASED ON THEIR CITIZENSHIP, RESIDENCE, OR LOCATION FROM ENGAGING IN ANY TRANSACTIONS ON THE ENCLAVE GLOBAL PLATFORM IF DOING SO BECOMES COMMERCIALLY UNSUSTAINABLE OR LEGALLY PROHIBITED, WHICH COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE PRICE AND LIQUIDITY OF CONTRACTS.
- YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ULTIMATELY IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU COMPLY WITH ANY AND ALL LOCAL REGULATIONS, DIRECTIVES, RESTRICTIONS AND LAWS IN YOUR PLACE(S) OF RESIDENCE BEFORE USING THE SERVICES.

WE ARE NOT OFFERING OR SOLICITING THE USE OF OUR SERVICES TO ANY PERSON LOCATED IN ANY RESTRICTED TERRITORIES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE SPECIFIC USE OF OUR SERVICES IS NOT AUTHORISED OR IS OTHERWISE PROHIBITED BY LOCAL LAWS.
RISKS RELATED TO TRADING PERPETUALS CONTRACTS
- ENTERING INTO PERPETUALS CONTRACTS (WHEN OFFERED ON THE SITE) INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK, IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE GIVEN THE VOLATILE NATURE OF DIGITAL ASSET MARKETS. YOU SHOULD SEEK ADVICE FROM AN INDEPENDENT AND SUITABLY LICENSED FINANCIAL ADVISOR AND ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE THE RISK APPETITE, RELEVANT EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO ENTER INTO PERPETUALS CONTRACTS.
- IN ENTERING INTO PERPETUALS CONTRACTS, YOU ARE NOT ENTERING INTO A SALE OR PURCHASE AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE DIGITAL ASSETS THEMSELVES. A PERPETUALS CONTRACT DOES NOT GIVE YOU ANY RIGHTS TO RECEIVE ANY UNDERLYING DIGITAL ASSET; INSTEAD, IT IS A CONTRACT THAT PROVIDES AN AGREED POSITION WITH RESPECT TO THE FUTURE PRICE OF A DIGITAL ASSET THAT MAY RESULT IN A PROFIT OR A LOSS FOR YOU. YOU WILL BE EXPOSED TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSACTING WITH A COUNTERPARTY, SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LACK OF DEMAND FOR THE OTHER SIDE OF A TRADE AND INSUFFICIENT COLLATERAL FROM THE COUNTERPARTY. THESE RISKS MAY RESULT IN LOSS AND/OR INABILITY TO CLOSE OUT POSITIONS(S).
- TRADING IN PERPETUALS CONTRACTS REQUIRES THE POSTING OF MARGIN AND THE MAINTENANCE OF THAT MARGIN AS DIGITAL ASSETS MARKETS MOVE IN ORDER TO GUARANTEE YOUR OPEN POSITIONS. THE MOVEMENT OF THE MARKET AGAINST YOU COULD RESULT IN YOU NOT HOLDING ADEQUATE MARGIN IN LINE WITH THE MARGIN REQUIREMENTS, AND THE RESULTING LIQUIDATION OR CLOSE-OUT OF YOUR POSITIONS, THEREBY CRYSTALLISING LOSSES. PRICE VOLATILITY IN THE UNDERLYING ASSET CAN LEAD TO RAPID AND SIGNIFICANT PRICE SWINGS IN PERPETUALS CONTRACTS, WHICH CAN RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL GAINS OR LOSSES FOR TRADERS. BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY FOR RAPID MOVEMENTS IN THE PRICE OF THE CONTRACTS AND THE IMPACT THIS MAY HAVE ON A LEVERAGED POSITION, WE MAY REQUEST THAT YOU PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO THE MARGIN WALLET WITH LITTLE OR NO PRIOR NOTICE. OPEN PERPETUALS TRANSACTION POSITIONS REQUIRE ONGOING MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT TO ENSURE YOU CAN MANAGE YOUR POSITIONS EFFECTIVELY. BY TRADING PERPETUALS CONTRACTS, YOU CAN LOSE UP TO YOUR ENTIRE MARGIN BALANCE. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER YOU CAN AFFORD TO BEAR THE RISKS OF LOSS INVOLVED IN USING THE PERPETUALS SERVICES. YOU SHOULD NOT FUND YOUR MARGIN WALLET AND TRADE WITH DIGITAL ASSETS THAT YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE.
- TRADING OF PERPETUALS CONTRACTS MAY BE RISKIER, LESS LIQUID, MORE VOLATILE, AND MORE VULNERABLE TO ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, MARKET, INDUSTRY, REGULATORY AND OTHER CHANGES THAN OTHER TYPES OF DERIVATIVES CONTRACT. THE LIQUIDITY OF THE MARKET FOR PERPETUALS CONTRACTS WILL DEPEND ON, AMONG OTHER THINGS, SUPPLY AND DEMAND ON THE ENCLAVE GLOBAL PLATFORM AND THE COMMERCIAL AND SPECULATIVE INTEREST IN THE MARKET FOR THESE PERPETUALS CONTRACTS. AS PERPETUALS CONTRACTS ARE TRADED ON A CLOSED TRADING SYSTEM, THERE IS A RISK THAT THERE MAY BE LIMITED VOLUME AND LIQUIDITY.
- A LACK OF LIQUIDITY IN ANY MARKET FOR CONTRACTS MAY RESULT IN DELAYS IN ORDER EXECUTION AND SOME ORDERS MAY NOT EXECUTE AT ALL; THESE EFFECTS MAY BE EXACERBATED WHERE AN ORDER IS LARGER.
- IN ORDER TO PROVIDE PRICING TO CARRY OUT PERPETUALS CONTRACTS AND SET MARGIN REQUIREMENTS, ENCLAVE PROVIDES A SUITABLE PRICE FOR SUPPORTED DIGITAL ASSETS ON ENCLAVE GLOBAL PLATFORM WHICH IS CALCULATED BY REFERENCE TO A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PRICE FEEDS FROM KEY LIQUID DIGITAL ASSET MARKETS GLOBALLY. ALTHOUGH ENCLAVE WILL MAKE EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT ITS PRICES REFLECT THE MARKET TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, DURING EXCEPTIONAL MARKET CONDITIONS, PRICING MAY AT TIMES VARY FROM THE MARKET AND THAT COULD LEAD TO LIQUIDATIONS. YOU SHOULD ENSURE THAT YOU MONITOR ENCLAVE GLOBAL PLATFORM PRICE FEEDS AND YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO MANAGE YOUR OPEN POSITIONS IN PERPETUALS CONTRACTS TO AVOID UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.
