B.Discontinue, change or update any product or Services; and/or

C.Suspend or deny access to the Website, or any part thereof, to any User, for any reason.

3.2Any such revised Terms of Use shall be effective when posted on the Website. Each User understands and agrees that the User’s continued use of the Services or the Website after IX Swap has made any such changes constitutes the User’s acceptance of any such revised Terms of Use. The User agrees that IX Swap shall not be liable to the User or to any third party for any such changes. Please check the Terms of Use for any updated information.

3.3In addition to the Terms of Use, Approved Registered Users may be required to enter into additional agreements with IX Swap that will govern their use of the Services or any related services offered by IX Swap (“Additional Agreements”). To the extent that there is any contradiction between the Terms of Use and such Additional Agreements, the terms of such Additional Agreements shall prevail.

4. Access To Website And Services

4.1The Website and/or Services is prohibited for any person who is a citizen, or resident of, or located in any jurisdiction where the use of the Website or Services would be unlawful or contrary to Applicable Law and Regulation. Each User is responsible for verifying that the User’s use of the Website and/or Services is permitted in the jurisdiction where the User resides and that such use complies with any and all Applicable Law and Regulation.

4.2IX Swap may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time and without liability, restrict or prohibit any person or entity, including but not limited to Users who use proxy servers and/or internet protocol addresses residing in certain geographical areas, from accessing the Website and/or the Services or any part thereof.

5. Approved Registered User

5.1A User must open an Account with IX Swap to become an Approved Registered User.

5.2When the User’s Account has been verified and approved by IX Swap in accordance with clauses 7, 9 or 17, the User will become an Approved Registered User. Approved Registered Users can have only one Account each. Creating multiple Accounts by a User will be considered a breach of the Terms of Use and in those circumstances, IX Swap shall have the discretion to investigate and close any of these Accounts.

5.3Each Approved Registered User shall:

A.Maintain the security of the Approved Registered User’s digital wallet password and identification (if any);

B.Maintain and promptly update the Registration Data and any other information provided to IX Swap as an Approved Registered User; and

C.Be fully responsible for all use of the Approved Registered User’s Account and for any actions that take place using the Account.

6. Restricted Portion

Users can visit the Website and review a range of information related to IX Swap offered on the Website. However, in order to access the Restricted Portion, a User must become an Approved Registered User. Thus, the Restricted Portion may not be available to all Users. Notwithstanding any other clauses in these Terms of Use, IX Swap reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to deny any User access to the Restricted Portion.

7. Investor Approval

7.1To become an Investor:

A.A User shall create a new Account on the IX Swap Platform by connecting a digital wallet, creating a User profile and passing the customer due diligence process, which is required by IX Swap to comply with its obligations under applicable anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, anti-proliferation financing, anti-bribery and sanctions laws, rules and regulations (collectively “KYC/AML”). Alternatively, IX Swap may allow a User to open an Account by means other than through the IX Swap Platform; and

B.Upon the successful completion by a User of all the above steps and any further necessary steps, as may be determined by IX Swap, IX Swap may, at its sole discretion, approve the User such that the User shall thereafter be deemed an Approved Registered User and Investor, and be permitted access to the Restricted Portion.

7.2Investors may also be required to provide IX Swap with additional and/or supplemental information in the future, upon IX Swap’s request. Each Investor shall assume all risks associated with the Investor’s Registration Data, including reliance on its quality, accuracy or reliability by any other person or entity. Please keep in mind that IX Swap will treat anyone who uses an Investor’s Account as the Investor himself/herself/itself. Therefore, IX Swap recommends that Investors change their respective digital wallet passwords from time to time, maintain the confidentiality of their respective digital wallet and passwords, and refrain from disclosing their respective digital wallet passwords to anyone.

7.3IX Swap also asks that Investors notify IX Swap immediately upon any suspicion that the Investor’s digital wallet password has been misappropriated or that that Investor’s Account has been compromised.

7.4Any Investor can terminate the Investor’s Account registration at any time by contacting IX Swap at c@ixswap.io.

8. Users' Representations And Warranties

8.1The securities, Digital Asset and other laws applicable to private company finance are complicated and unclear in many jurisdictions but are intended to protect unsophisticated people from making bad investments.

8.2If a User is a natural person, the User represents and warrants that:

A.The User is at least the age of majority in the User’s jurisdiction, and understands and is willing to bear the risks associated with investing into any Investment, which may involve losing all of the User’s funds and/or Digital Assets. However, if the User resides in a state, country or other jurisdiction that requires a higher minimum age or criteria for the User’s use of the Website or participation in the Services, the User must comply with the Applicable Law and Regulation in that jurisdiction;

B.The User has a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of Digital Assets, and cryptographic and blockchain-based systems; and

C.The User is not an undischarged bankrupt.

8.3If a User is using the Website and/or the Services on behalf of a legal entity, the User represents and warrants that:

A.Such legal entity understands and is willing to bear the risks associated with investing into any Investment, which may involve losing all of such legal entity’s funds;

B.Such legal entity has a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of Digital Assets, and cryptographic and blockchain-based systems;

C.Such legal entity is not the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy or any voluntary or involuntary proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership or liquidation or contemplating ceasing its business;

D.The User has the right and/or authority to make such representations and/or warranties on behalf of such legal entity; and

E.The User may have to submit documents to show that the User has the authority to enter into agreements on behalf of a legal entity.

8.4Furthermore, each User represents and warrants that all Registration Data the User submits to IX Swap is true and accurate.

8.5Each User represents and warrants that such User has clear, good and marketable title to any and all Digital Assets such User uses to participate in any Investment, free and clear of and from any claims, liens, encumbrances, security interest or liabilities.

9. Issuer And Applicant Approval

9.1To become an Issuer or an Applicant, a User will be required to fill out the requisite forms, which includes providing Registration Data such as personal, financial, tax information, and pass the KYC/AML process. Upon the successful completion by a User of all the above steps and any further necessary steps, as may be determined by IX Swap, IX Swap may, in its sole and absolute discretion, approve the User such that the User shall thereafter:

A.Be deemed an Approved Registered User and Issuer, and be permitted to submit Offering Applications provided that the Approved Registered User and Issuer executes an LOE with IX Swap; or

B.Be deemed an Approved Registered User and Applicant, and permitted to: (i) submit a Listing Agreement to IX Swap to list such Applicant’s Digital Asset on the IXS DEX; or (ii) execute an LOE with IX Swap to list such Applicant’s Digital Asset on the IXS LBP.

10. Issuer Offering Application

10.1Any prospective Issuer seeking to list a proposed Offering shall submit an Offering Application to IX Swap. IX Swap shall, at its absolute discretion, review any such Offering Application by assessing if the Issuer fulfils the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements either alone or in combination, but:

A.The Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements are not exhaustive and IX Swap may impose additional requirements via any Additional Agreement entered into between IX Swap and Issuer, including but not limited to an LOE; and

B.Compliance with the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements may not of itself ensure the suitability of the Offering for Listing on the Restricted Portion. While the size of an Issuer is important, greater emphasis is placed on factors such as the integrity of the management and the controlling shareholder(s) of the Issuer, an Issuer’s relative stability, an Issuer’s reputation and the quality of the Offering set out in the Offering Application submitted by the Issuer. In reviewing any such Offering Application, IX Swap may contact the Issuer to understand the Issuer’s requirements and the details of the proposed Offering.

10.2IX Swap has the sole and absolute discretion at any time to:

A.Modify the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements;

B.Consider all relevant circumstances in determining whether an Issuer satisfies the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements in respect of an Offering; and/or

C.Waive compliance in respect of all or any requirements mentioned in the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements.

10.3Upon review of any Offering Application, IX Swap may, as it deems appropriate, approve the Offering Application unconditionally or subject to any condition, or reject the Offering Application. If an Offering Application has been approved by IX Swap, IX Swap reserves the right to impose any condition or additional condition or to vary any condition imposed.

11. Verification Of Registration Data

11.1Upon creation of an Account, and from time to time thereafter, the Registration Data a User submits for registering with IX Swap will be subject to verification, screening and monitoring, including, but not limited to, validation against third-party public and private databases or the verification of identity documents or any official government or legal documents confirming the User’s identity, address, source of funds or ability to act on behalf of another entity, and verification of corporate appointments and directorships.

11.2Each User authorises IX Swap, directly or indirectly, through third parties, to conduct any verification of the the Registration Data which may be deemed necessary by IX Swap, including to establish the User’s identity and location, and to confirm the User’s ownership of the User’s digital wallet (if any), subject to the Applicable Law and Regulation.

11.3All Investments are subject to customer due diligence checks and onboarding, which include the KYC/AML process. IX Swap is required to obtain, verify and record information, which may include information that identifies natural persons, ultimate beneficial owners for legal entities and source of funds, prior to allowing any Approved Registered User to participate in any Investment. Such Approved Registered User may be required to update such information and any Registration Data from time to time.

11.4If an Approved Registered User’s Account has been involved in any fraud or crime or violation of any laws and regulations, or has been accessed unlawfully, or is otherwise involved in suspicious activity, then IX Swap reserves the right to investigate any such suspicious activity and to request documentation to confirm the authenticity and accuracy of any Registration Data the Approved Registered User provided to IX Swap. The Approved Registered User’s Account may be rejected, restricted, closed or frozen, while the investigation is pending.

11.5Any Registration Data the User is required to provide IX Swap during the Account registration and approval process will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

12. Enhanced Due Diligence

IX Swap may, in its sole and absolute discretion and at any time, require any User to submit additional information, documents and/or records about the User or the entity to which the User acts on behalf, or provide information about the User’s key management personnel, beneficial owners and/or directors (collectively, “Enhanced Due Diligence”). IX Swap may charge the User fees for such Enhanced Due Diligence but IX Swap will provide the User with prior notice in such circumstances.

E.Management fees; and

F.Any other fees to be determined on a case-by-case basis.

14. Investments

14.1All Users can access general information but only Investors can access the Restricted Portion to make Investments. An Investor can also see details and documents regarding any Offering, Listing, Trading, Staking, Liquidity Provision and/or Liquidity Mining, before making an Investment decision.

14.2IX Swap conducts due diligence prior to any Offering, Listing, Trading, Staking, Liquidity Provision and/or Liquidity Mining Investment opportunity on the Restricted Portion. However, IX Swap does not make any representations or warranties to any Users in respect of any such due diligence and IX Swap shall not be held liable for any errors, insufficiency, omissions or any inaccurate, misleading or false information contained in any such due diligence.

14.3In order to make any Investment, each Investor accepts and acknowledges the following:

A.Investment opportunities are made available on the Restricted Portion for the Investors to evaluate. Prior to making an Investment decision, the Investor should make the Investor’s own determination of the accuracy, adequacy, completeness and reliability of the information and materials available on the Website, perform the Investor’s own due diligence and seek advice from an independent legal, tax or financial advisor, where necessary, to determine the suitability and appropriateness of the Investment;

B.The Investor is responsible for undertaking the Investor’s own independent investigation and assessment of all Investment opportunities, and the independent verification of any information provided through the Website;

C.The Investor has made all necessary inquiries in respect of the relevant Digital Assets, including, but not limited to, their nature and objective, their key benefits and risks, their key rights and obligations, the ease of liquidating the Digital Assets, the commitment required, pricing, the fees and charges to be borne by the Investor, and any applicable charges or restrictions on withdrawal, surrender or redemption of the Digital Assets;

D.The Investor shall be solely responsible, to the exclusion of IX Swap, for any and all of the Investor’s tax obligations that may arise from the Investor’s use of the Website;

E.The Investor has made all necessary inquiries with respect to any Investment, including the nature and objective, key benefits and risks, key rights, ease of converting the Investment to cash, commitment required, pricing of the Digital Assets, fees and charges to be borne by the Investor, and any applicable charges or restrictions on withdrawal, surrender or redemption of Digital Assets;

F.The Investor is financially and technically sophisticated enough to understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and the Investor has a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of Digital Assets, including that:

F.1. Blockchain-based transactions are irreversible;

F.2. Markets for Digital Assets are highly volatile due to factors such as adoption, Speculation, technology, security, thefts, fraud, loss of Digital Assets, digital wallets and/or private keys, and regulation;

F.3. The cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems are variable and may increase dramatically at any time; and

F.4. Digital Assets may lose some or all of their value while they are invested through the IX Swap Platform, through the fluctuation of prices, slippage, impermanent loss or otherwise;

G.The Investor may be required to agree to certain disclosures before being allowed to make any Investment;

H.The Investor is fully aware of the risks involved in any Investment. The Investor shall not make any Investment if the Investor does not understand the risks of such an Investment. Any Investment made by the Investor is at the Investor’s own risk;

I.IX Swap shall not be liable for any loss, damage or liability which the Investor may incur in respect of any Investments made through the IX Swap Platform;

J.The IX Swap Platform is dependent on the availability of telecommunication and internet access. Therefore, the Investor accepts the risk of any failure of access to an internet network due to local, hardware and/or software issues. IX Swap shall not be responsible for any communication failures, technical disruption, errors, or delays, howsoever caused, which the Investor may experience when making Investments on the IX Swap Platform;

K.IX Swap shall not be liable for any act or omission of the Investor which causes any default, failure or cessation of any Investment, including but not limited to any incorrect or incomplete payment or transfer of Digital Assets by the Investor. IX Swap accepts no responsibility for any such act or omission of the Investor;

L.There may be resale restrictions applicable to a Digital Asset in respect of an Investment, which the Investor is required to and deemed to have knowledge of;

M.Any document or material in connection with any Investment does not constitute an offer or solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation;

N.Participation in any Investment will be subject to the specific terms of that Investment. IX Swap makes no representation or warranty that any Investment will take place, or that if it takes place, that any Investor will be allowed to participate; and

O.IX Swap reserves the right to discontinue any Investment activity at any time and in its sole and absolute discretion. In such circumstances, Investors shall not have any right, claim or cause of action in any way whatsoever against IX Swap in relation to such discontinuation.

14.4Each Investor acknowledges that he/she/it is fully aware of the risks associated with Digital Assets and/or involved in undertaking any Investment, including but not limited to, the following:

A.The regulation of Digital Assets is still in a very nascent stage of development, globally. A high degree of uncertainty as to how Digital Assets and related activities are to be treated, exists. The applicable legal, regulatory and tax framework may change in future. It is not possible to anticipate with any degree of certainty the nature of such regulatory evolution and the subsequent impact on Digital Assets. Each Investor should seek independent advice prior to deciding whether to undertake any Investment;

B.Digital Assets are blockchain-based and the security, transferability, storage and accessibility of Digital Assets depend on factors outside of IX Swap’s control, such as the security, stability and suitability of the underlying blockchain, mining disruptions, and who has access to the private key of any digital wallet where Digital Assets are stored. IX Swap does not represent or otherwise assure that it can prevent such external factors from having any direct or indirect adverse impact on any of the Digital Assets. Adverse events caused by such external factors may result in the loss of some or all Digital Assets acquired and such loss may be irreversible;

C.Digital Asset transactions are irreversible. This includes transactions made fraudulently, erroneously, or accidentally. Digital Assets involved in such irreversible transactions may not be recoverable;

D.The computer code for the smart contract for Digital Assets may contain flaws, errors, defects and bugs, which may disable some functionality of the such Digital Assets, expose an Investor’s information or otherwise be harmful to the Investor. Each Investor should review the functioning of the Smart Contract underpinning Digital Assets and seek advice from third party experts, if necessary, to understand it, before undertaking any Investment. Should the Smart Contract, based on which the Digital Assets are operated, cease to function for any reason, the ability of any existing Investor to transfer such Digital Assets to third parties or the ability of the transferees of such Digital Assets to exercise the rights associated with such Digital Assets may be impaired;

E.The complete trading history of each digital wallet will be available to the general public and it may be possible for members of the public to determine the identity of each Investor. Digital Assets are recorded on public blockchains. Any trades of Digital Assets will become public shortly after such trades are triggered. Although the data made available on public blockchains is anonymous, it includes the blockchain address of each Investor transacting in Digital Assets and the entire trading history of each blockchain address (including the number of digital tokens traded by each digital wallet and the balance of Digital Assets held in each digital wallet). As a result, the trading history of each blockchain address is available to the general public. It may be possible for members of the public to determine the identity of the holders of certain blockchain addresses based on publicly available information;

F.No assurance can be given that an active and liquid trading market, or even a market at all, will develop or continue for the Digital Assets. The market price of Digital Assets (to the extent such a market develops) may be highly volatile. Such volatility could be caused not only by events involving the Issuer or Applicant but also by changes in general conditions in the economy or the financial markets. As a result of such fluctuations, Investors may not be able to resell their Digital Assets and may incur losses. Factors that could cause this volatility of the market price of Digital Assets include but are not limited to:

F.1. Perception of the success and impact of the Applicant or Issuer, and/or Digital Asset;

F.2. The entrance of new competitors or new products in the markets of the Applicant or Issuer, and/or Digital Asset;

F.3. The liquidity of the market for the Digital Assets;

F.4. New laws or regulations or changes in interpretations of existing laws and regulations affecting the Applicant or Issuer, and/or Digital Asset;

F.5. General market and economic conditions;

F.6. Sentiment in the crypto industry;

F.6. Announcements of developments related to the Applicant’s or Issuer’s business; and/or

F.7. Local market conditions;

G.Digital Assets may be subject to the risk of market manipulation if the number of Digital Assets available for trading is low and/or the venues available for trading Digital Assets, such as exchanges, are limited;

H.Digital Assets may be affected if the Applicant or Issuer becomes the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy, or any voluntary or involuntary proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership or liquidation for the benefit of creditors, or ceases doing business. In such circumstances, Investors may not have full or any recourse;

I.Each Investor is responsible for knowing such Investor’s digital wallet private keys and keeping them a secret. A private key, or a combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of Digital Assets stored in the Investor’s digital wallet. The loss of an Investor’s private keys associated with the Investor’s digital wallet may result in the loss of the Investor’s Digital Assets through misappropriation or otherwise. IX Swap will never ask for an Investor’s private keys; and

J.IX Swap is not responsible for and/or obliged to taking steps to retrieve Digital Assets lost in any manner.

14.5In the event of a default, failure or cessation of any Investment not due to the fault or election of Investors, IX Swap may, in its sole and absolute discretion, assist Investors with different recovery options, provided, however, that any costs in connection with any such recovery efforts shall be borne by the Investors.

15. Forks

15.1Software protocols governing a Digital Asset can experience sudden changes in operating rules that are outside IX Swap’s control (each change being a “Fork”). A Fork can have a material change on the operation, functionality, value or even name of a Digital Asset. If a Fork occurs, it may result in the creation of a new Digital Asset (“New Asset”) which is related to an existing Digital Asset (“Previous Asset”). Therefore, Forks may result in multiple versions of a Digital Asset and each version could have a very different, and possibly lower, value than before the Fork.

15.2If a Fork occurs, each User understands, acknowledges and agrees that IX Swap may temporarily suspend the operations of the IX Swap Platform while IX Swap determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether to support the New Asset, the Previous Asset, or both, and IX Swap shall have the right to continue such suspension for such length of time as IX Swap deems necessary to make such a determination.

15.3IX Swap may, in its sole and absolute discretion:

A.Obtain and retain the New Asset as IX Swap’s own property; or

B.Recall and burn Previous Assets and make the New Assets available to Users according to each User’s corresponding holdings of the Previous Asset at the time of the Fork, subject to the withholding and retention of reasonable compensation by IX Swap for the cost of making the New Assets available to Users (at IX Swap’s sole and absolute determination). For the avoidance of doubt, Users have no right to any New Asset.

15.4Each User agrees that IX Swap is not responsible or liable to any User and any User shall hold IX Swap harmless in respect of any losses or damages (including lost profits) which may occur as the result of a change in the underlying software protocol of a Digital Asset, a Fork, IX Swap’s determination to support or not support any particular Fork or modified software protocol, and any suspension to the IX Swap Platform while IX Swap makes such determination.

16. IXS Launchpad

16.1An Issuer may list an Offering on the IXS Launchpad by executing an LOE with IX Swap, subject to IX Swap’s approval in each case, which approval shall be in IX Swap’s sole and absolute discretion.

16.2The details of any Offering are provided by Issuers and are only meant for the Investors’ information, and IX Swap does not provide any warranty as to the accuracy, truth and/or completeness of any such details.
