- All other services that may be provided or available by or through WMX or the Products from time to time (collectively, the “Services”).
You should read these Terms carefully. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and WMX, contain important information, and set forth our respective rights and obligations, as well as our disclaimers and limitations of liability. These Terms also contain a binding arbitration provision and a class action waiver, which impact your rights as to how disputes are resolved. Our Services are available only if you completely agree with these Terms. When you click “I agree” to these Terms (or similar language), or otherwise access, use or receive Products or Services, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not accept and agree to these Terms completely, you should stop now and not access, use or receive the Services.
In these Terms, references to “you” mean you personally (where an individual accesses, uses or receives Products or Services) and any legal entity and its affiliates on behalf of which you submit instructions or orders (where Services are accessed, used or received for or on behalf of a legal entity). References to “WMX”, “we” or “our” mean WMX and its affiliates.

A “US PERSON” (AS DEFINED UNDER US COMMODITY FUTURES AND SECURITIES LAWS) - IN THE CASE OF AN INDIVIDUAL, THIS MEANS A PERSON WHO IS A RESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. IN THE CASE OF A LEGAL ENTITY, THIS INCLUDES AN ENTITY ORGANIZED OR ESTABLISHED UNDER THE LAWS OF A STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR WHICH HAS ITS “PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS” IN THE UNITED STATES;

(COLLECTIVELY, “RESTRICTED PERSONS”). WMX DOES NOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS. IF YOU ARE A RESTRICTED PERSON, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCESS, USE OR RECEIVE ANY OF THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. USE OF A VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (“VPN”) TO CIRCUMVENT THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH HEREIN IS PROHIBITED.
- Services (a) The Interfaces. The Interfaces provide web, mobile app, and API-based methods of interacting with the order book maintained by WMX. Once an instruction or order is matched, the instruction or order is then submitted for execution, settlement and clearance on self-executing smart contracts (the “Protocols”) that are deployed on the Wemix Chain. You do not buy or sell, and by accessing, using and/or receiving Products and Services, you agree that you are not buying, or selling, Digital Assets from or to WMX or its affiliates.
The Protocols are deployed on the Wemix Chain and operate in a non-discretionary and autonomous manner. Neither WMX nor its affiliates is involved in or responsible for, nor are they obligated to you for (and you do not have any claim against them for) the operation, running or functioning of the Protocols or any interactions between users and the Protocols, and the Services do not include the Protocols or their provision or operation.
(c) Non-Custodial Products and Services; Wallets. The Products and the Services are purely non-custodial. WMX and its affiliates never take custody, possession, or control of your Digital Assets at any time. WMX has no liability for, the delivery, quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of any Digital Assets that you may transfer to or from a third party. WMX is not responsible for ensuring that any person or entity with whom you transact completes the transaction or is authorized to do so. You bear the entire risk of any problems you experience with transactions in Digital Assets using Products or Services.
We accept no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of an Ethereum wallet and make no representations or warranties regarding how the Protocols will operate with any specific wallet. Your relationship with the provider of your non-custodial Ethereum wallet is governed solely by your agreement with that wallet provider.
You are solely responsible for the custody and security of the cryptographic private keys to your public Ethereum address, passwords, API keys, private keys associated with your blockchain service account (private keys) and other related credentials. You should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. Neither WMX nor its affiliates are responsible for any losses or expenses you may suffer if your wallets are compromised.
- Changes in Services; Access; and Availability. (a) Changes in Products and Services. The Products and the Services will evolve over time, which means WMX may apply changes to, replace, or discontinue (temporarily or permanently) any or all of the Products or Services at any time in our sole discretion. WMX reserves the right to review, modify, filter, delete and/or remove any content and information from the Products.
(b) Access. WMX reserves the right to disable, modify access to, or restrict access to, any or all of the Products or Services at any time, including if you breach (or are reasonably likely to breach) these Terms.
(c) Availability. The Products and Services may be inaccessible or inoperable from time to time, including as a result of equipment malfunctions; periodic or unscheduled maintenance procedures or repairs by us or our suppliers or contractors; causes beyond the control of us or our suppliers or contractors, or that we and our suppliers and contractors could not reasonably foresee; disruptions and temporary or permanent unavailability of underlying blockchain infrastructure; or unavailability of third-party service providers or external partners for any reason.
We will not be liable to you for any losses or damages you may suffer as a result of or in connection with any or all Products or Services being inaccessible or unavailable to you at any time or for any reason, or for any changes in Products or Services.
- Trading (a) Your Responsibility for Instructions and Orders. You are solely responsible for all instructions and orders you submit through the Products or utilizing the Services. This means, at a minimum, that you must decide by yourself (or with your financial, tax and legal advisors) the appropriateness and terms of your instructions and orders, including whether to use leverage and the amount of leverage. You are solely responsible for any and all losses, damages, expenses and costs that you incur as a result of instructions and orders (or errors in instructions and orders) submitted by you or on your behalf.
(b) Correct Input. You are also responsible for ensuring that all instructions and orders are correctly input by you or on your behalf. We have no responsibility for any instructions or orders not received by us or the receipt of which are delayed by the methods you use to connect to the Products or Services. Neither WMX nor its affiliates has or will conduct a suitability review of any instructions or orders you submit.
(c) Non-reliance on Information. All information provided on the Products in connection with your access, use and receipt of the Products or Services is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as professional advice. You should not take, or refrain from taking, any action based on any information contained on the Products, or that we otherwise make available at any time, including blog posts, data, articles, links to third-party content, discord content, news feeds, tutorials, tweets, and videos.
(d) Seek Independent Advice. Before you make any financial, legal, or other decisions involving the Products or Services, you should seek independent professional advice from an individual who is licensed and qualified in the area for which such advice would be appropriate. Neither WMX nor its affiliates is (1) acting as a broker or dealer for any instructions or orders that you submit through the Products or by using the Services; (2) soliciting any instructions or orders; or providing any advice (including investment related advice or the advisability of trading) to you. All instructions and orders are initiated solely by you. The pricing information and other data provided on or by the Interfaces or APIs does not represent an offer, a solicitation of an offer, or recommendation to enter into, a transaction with WMX (other than the payment of fees to WMX, if any).
(e) Not Available in all Countries; Compliance with Laws. Not all Products or Services may be available or appropriate in all jurisdictions. By accessing, using or receiving any Products or Services, you agree that you are solely and entirely responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations that may apply to you or to your access, use or receipt of Products or Services.
(f) Taxes. You are responsible for all tax consequences arising out of your access, use and receipt of Products or Services, such as income or capital gains tax, value-added tax, goods and services tax, and sales tax. It is your responsibility to determine whether taxes apply to any transactions you submit or receive and, if so, to report and/or remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority.
-
Promotions and Referrals From time to time, WMX and third parties may offer contests, promotions, sweepstakes, referral and other programs (“Promotions”) to all or a subset of WMX users. It will be your choice whether to participate in any Promotion offered to you. All Promotions will be subject to separate terms, conditions, rules and eligibility requirements, which you will be required to review, accept and comply with as a condition to participation.

WMX makes no representations or warranties and does not monitor, approve or endorse, or assume any responsibility for any Third Party Materials. You are responsible for complying with any additional restrictions on Third Party Materials that WMX or the provider or developer of such Third Party Materials may communicate to you from time to time, including any such restrictions that may be contained in any license agreement you enter into with the provider or developer of such Third Party Materials.

NO OTHER WMX INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY SEPARATE OR ADDITIONAL LIABILITY TO YOU.
(c) THE ABOVE LIMITS DO NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW.
- Risk Disclosures This Section contains a selection of certain risks that WMX has identified as potentially relevant for you to consider evaluating any access or usage of the Products or Services. The risks identified in this Section are not exhaustive, and WMX does not assume any duty (either now or in the future) to alert you to all potential risks. By accessing, using and/or receiving the Products and Services, you hereby acknowledge and accept these risks and waive all claims against WMX and the other WMX Related Parties with respect to these risks:
(a) Not Registered. WMX is not registered or licensed by any regulatory agency or authority. No such agency or authority has reviewed or approved the use of the Products, the Services or the Protocols.
(b) Protocols are separate from WMX. WMX is a developer of software. All transactions between users of the Protocols are settled and cleared peer-to-peer directly between the users’ Ethereum addresses through a smart contract. The Services do not include the Protocols or their provision or operation. Neither WMX nor its affiliates is involved in or responsible for operating, running or the functioning of the Protocols or any interactions between users and the Protocols. Neither WMX nor its affiliates is obligated to provide, operate, support, maintain or develop the Protocols, and you do not have any claim against WMX or its affiliates for any of the foregoing (or the failure to do any of the foregoing).
(e) General Digital Asset Risks. Beyond the risks described in the previous paragraphs, there are general risks associated with Digital Assets, cryptographic systems and blockchain-based networks and systems that interact with blockchain-based networks. For example, the Wemix blockchain remains under development, which creates technological and security risks when accessing, using or receiving Products or Services in addition to uncertainty relating to Digital Assets and transactions therein. WMX does not own, control or operate any of the underlying software through which blockchain networks are formed. In general, the software underlying blockchain networks, including the Wemix blockchain, is open source, such that anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute it, but certain aspects of the Tech Solutions will be proprietary and not publicly accessible, either initially or over time. There is no guarantee of the functionality, security, or availability of that software and networks, and there can be sudden changes in blockchain-based networks, such as forks.
(f) Loss of Keys. Blockchain networks use public and private key cryptography. You alone are responsible for securing your private key(s). We do not have access to your private key(s). Losing control of your private key(s) will permanently and irreversibly deny you access to Digital Assets on the Wemix blockchain or other blockchain-based network. Neither WMX nor any other person or entity will be able to retrieve or protect your Digital Assets. If your private key(s) are lost, then you will not be able to transfer your Digital Assets to any other blockchain address or wallet. If this occurs, then you will not be able to realize any value or utility from the Digital Assets that you may hold.
(g) Change in Law; Compliance with Law. Digital Assets and the provision of products and services related to Digital Assets, including the Products and Services, are subject to evolving laws and regulations, as well as changes in interpretations of existing laws and regulations. If laws or regulations or their interpretations change, Products and Services and their provision could be affected, but it is not currently possible to determine how such changes might affect the Products or Services. In addition, Products, Services and your Digital Assets could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or actions, which could impede or limit the ability of WMX to continue to make available our proprietary software and could impede or limit your ability to access, use or receive Products or Services. WMX intends to comply with Applicable Laws, which may require us to, upon request by government agencies, take certain actions or provide information, which may not be in your best interests.
(h) Cryptography Risk. Cryptography is a progressing field with advances in code cracking or other technical advancements, such as the development of quantum computers, which may present risks to Digital Assets, as well as Products and Services, and could result in the theft or loss of your Digital Assets. To the extent possible, the Protocols may be updated to account for advances in cryptography and to incorporate additional security measures necessary to address risks presented from technological advancements, but no guarantee can be provided as to full security of the Protocols, Products or the Services.
(i) Information. Notwithstanding our efforts, information available as part of the Products or Services may not be accurate, timely or complete, and may include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. Information is subject to change or update from time to time without notice, including information regarding our policies. Accordingly, you should verify all information before relying on it, and all decisions based on information contained on the Interfaces or otherwise as part of the Products or Services are your sole responsibility. No representation is made as to the accuracy, completeness, or appropriateness for any particular purpose of any pricing information distributed via the Interfaces or otherwise when using the Products or Services. Prices and pricing information may be higher or lower than prices available on platforms providing similar services.
(j) Trades are Final; Your Responsibilities. Instructions and orders entered into through the Products and Services are irreversible, final and there are no refunds. You acknowledge and agree that you will access, use and receive Products and the Services at your own risk. You accept all consequences of accessing, using and receiving Products and Services, including the risk that you may lose access to your Digital Assets indefinitely. All transaction decisions are made solely by you. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, we accept no responsibility whatsoever for, and will in no circumstances be liable to you in connection with, your use of the Services for performing Digital Asset transactions, including entering into Perpetual Contracts.
(k) Financial Risks. Use of the Services, in particular for trading Digital Assets and entering into Perpetual Contracts, carries financial risks, including the risk of loss. Digital Assets, especially in connection with Perpetual Contracts, are, by their nature, highly experimental, risky, and volatile. The risk of loss in trading Digital Assets, especially entering into Perpetual Contracts, can be substantial. Use of leverage can magnify any such losses. WMX is not and will not provide any advice to you with respect to trading Digital Assets. Further in the event of an insufficiency of the WMX Insurance Fund (if and when available), you may suffer additional losses, as described in more detail in WMX’s documentation (see https://docs.WMX.fi/risk-system/socialized-losses (opens in a new tab)). You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. By accessing, using and receiving Products and Services, you represent and warrant that you have been, are, and will be solely responsible for making your independent appraisal and investigations into the risks of a given transaction and the underlying Digital Assets, including Perpetual Contracts. You represent that you have sufficient knowledge, market sophistication, professional advice, and experience to make your evaluation of the merits and risks of any transaction conducted in connection with Products and Services or any Digital Asset.
(l) No Recommendations. Display and inclusion of Digital Assets in the Products or Services is not a recommendation by us of those, or any other, Digital Asset. We are not indicating any approval or disapproval of the technology on which the Digital Asset relies. You together with your advisers are solely responsible for understanding of the risks specific to each type of Digital Asset in which you may wish to transact.
(m) Erroneous Orders. You are responsible for all trades you place, including any erroneous orders that may be filled. We do not take any action to resolve erroneous trades that result from your errors.
- Governing Law; Dispute Resolution (a) Governing Law. These Terms, and all matters or disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the subject matter hereof or the activities of you or us in connection with or contemplated by these Terms, including your access, use or receipt of Products and Services (including any act or omission related thereto) (collectively, “Disputes”), shall be governed by, construed under and enforced in accordance with the laws of Singapore.
(b) Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver. If any such Dispute cannot be resolved within sixty (60) days of your providing us with written notice of the Dispute at legal@WMX.fi, each of you and us hereby irrevocably agrees that any Dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the SIAC for the time being in force (“Rules”), which Rules are hereby incorporated by reference. The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore.
The tribunal shall consist of one (1) arbitrator, and the arbitration shall be conducted in English. The International Arbitration Act, Chapter 143A of Singapore (“IAA”) shall apply to the arbitration.
The decision and award of such tribunal duly constituted pursuant to this Section 14(b) and the Rules (which may include specific performance and injunctive relief) shall be final and valid, non-appealable, binding upon all of the parties to the Dispute, and enforceable in accordance with applicable law by any party to such Dispute in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
The arbitrator, you and we will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including all information gathered, prepared, and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Disputes. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality unless the Applicable Law provides to the contrary. This confidentiality obligation does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
For any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and all other IAA fees and costs. For any arbitration we initiate, we pay the filing fee and all other IAA fees and costs. These provisions are subject to the ability of the arbitrator to award fees and costs as it determines to be appropriate in a final award.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 16(b), a party to a Dispute may, insofar as it is entitled to under the IAA, elect to seek temporary injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction at any time to preserve its rights while a Dispute is being resolved by arbitration.
(c) Time Bar for Claims. Any arbitral claim relating to a Dispute must be filed within one (1) year after the underlying act, omission, event, circumstance or claim first arises; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that neither you nor we will have the right to assert the claim.
(d) Interim Relief. The parties acknowledge that damages may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of these Terms and, therefore, any Person to whom performance is owed under any provision of these Terms shall be entitled to an injunction to be issued, or specific enforcement to be required, to require any other Person to perform its obligations under these Terms and prevent the other party from breaching, or continuing to breach, any provision of these Terms (in each case without posting any bond or other security). An election by a party to a court of competent jurisdiction for interim measures necessary to preserve the parties’ rights shall not be deemed incompatible with, or a waiver of, this agreement to arbitrate.

(c) Waivers
No waiver of these Terms will be effective unless in a written instrument signed by the party so waiving such provision.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no delay, failure or waiver by you or us to exercise any right or remedy under these Terms and no partial or single exercise of any such right or remedy, will operate to limit, preclude, cancel, waive or otherwise affect such right or remedy, nor will any single or partial exercise of such right or remedy limit, preclude, impair or waive any further exercise of such right or remedy or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No course of dealing by you or us shall operate as a waiver of these Terms.
(d) Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the matters contemplated hereby and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral or written agreements or understandings of the parties. Except as otherwise provided in these Terms (including Section 17(a)), all subsequent changes and modifications, to be valid, shall be by written instrument executed by each party.
(e) Binding Agreement; No Assignment. These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of you and us and our successors and permitted assigns. You may not assign these Terms or your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.
(f) Third Party Beneficiaries. These Terms will only be binding upon and inure solely to your and our benefit and our respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in these Terms is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act, Chapter 53B of Singapore; provided, that other WMX Indemnified Parties shall be beneficiaries of, and entitled to enforce directly, the provisions of Sections 13 and 14 of these Terms.
(g) Severability. If portion of these Terms is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any present or future applicable laws, such provision will to the extent necessary be severable; these Terms will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of these Terms; and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from these Terms.
(h) Force Majeure. Neither we nor our vendors (including any provide of the Tech Solutions) has any responsibility or liability for any failure or delay in performance of any Product or Service, or any loss or damage that you may incur, due to any circumstance or event beyond our or their control, including any flood, extraordinary weather conditions, earthquake, or other act of God, fire, war, insurrection, riot, labor dispute, accident, action of government, communications, power failure, or equipment or software malfunction.
(i) Interpretation. In these Terms, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) reference herein to the singular shall include the plural and vice versa and reference to any gender shall include all genders; (ii) the terms “Article”, “Section” followed by a number, letter, or combination of numbers and letters refer, unless expressly contemplated otherwise, to the specified article or section of these Terms, as amended, restated or replaced from time to time; reference herein to another agreement shall be construed as a reference to such other agreement as the same may have been, or may from time to time be, amended, supplemented or novated; the division of these Terms into Sections and the use of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of these Terms; (iii) use of the words “includes” and “including” and similar terms of inclusion will not, unless expressly modified by the words “only” or “solely”, be construed as terms of limitation, but rather will mean “includes but is not limited to” and “including but not limited to”, such that references to included matters will be regarded as illustrative and not defining or exhaustive; and (iv) if an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises as to any aspect of these Terms, then it will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring either party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of these Terms.
(j) Sections 3.e, 3.f, 8.b and 8.c, as well as 9 through 17 inclusive, will survive your ceasing to be a user of WMX for the longer of six years or the period for which a claim may be brought with respect to the underlying matter or circumstance covered by such provision of the Terms.
