These Terms form a binding contract between you and BAM. Please read these Terms carefully. You agree that you have read, understand, and
accept these Terms by signing up for an Account(s) with BAM, accessing our Website, or BAM APIs (where available). If you do not agree with these
Terms, you may not access, and are prohibited from accessing or using the Services, Sites, or any other aspect of our business.
Eligibility
To be eligible to use the Services, you must satisfy the following:
You must be an individual, corporation, legal person, entity, or other organization residing in a location in which the Services are available with
the full power, authority, and capacity to (1) access and use our Services and (2) enter into, deliver, and perform your obligations under these
Terms. If you are an individual, you must be at least 18 years old.
Eligible Person. Except as otherwise provided for in this agreement, you are an Eligible Person if you are not a resident of a Restricted State or
other location in which BAM is not authorized to do business and provided you satisfy one of the following criteria:
a citizen of the United States of America (“U.S.”) or any other location in which BAM is authorized to do business;
a U.S. resident - meaning (1) a green card holder; or (2) an individual physically present in the U.S. for 31 days in the current calendar
year and 183 days during the three-year period that includes the current year and the two years immediately before that, counting: (a) all
the days present in the U.S. in the current year; (b). 1/3 of the days present in the U.S. in the first year before the current year; and (c) 1/6
of the days present in the U.S. in the second year before the current year; (3) an individual designated a resident for U.S. tax purposes; or
(4) an individual with a U.S. mailing address;
a corporation, partnership, or entity organized or existing under the laws of any state, territory or possession of the U.S., or of any other
location at BAM‘s sole and absolute discretion;
an estate or trust of which any executor, administrator, or trustee is an Eligible Person;
an agency or branch of a foreign entity located in a location which BAM is authorized to do business;
a discretionary or non-discretionary account held by a fiduciary for the benefit or account of an Eligible Person; or
a non-U.S. partnership, corporation, or entity owned or controlled by a Eligible Person (ownership of 10% or more by a Eligible Person)
where all such non-U.S. entities will be subject to enhanced scrutiny by Binance.US‘s compliance function.
“Restricted States” means Hawaii (HI), New York (NY), Texas (TX) and Vermont (VT). The list of Restricted States is subject to change at any
time. In the event a state becomes a Restricted State, BAM will provide users residing in that state with notice via email, a notification on the
Website, or other means deemed necessary regarding their access to the Services.
Representations And Warranties. You agree that all of your representations and warranties, as set out in these Terms, are at all times true,
accurate and complete.
Covenants. You agree that you have and will perform all of your covenants, agreements, obligations or undertakings as set out in these Terms.
Use Of The Services
Digital Assets Trading Platform. BAM operates a platform (“Platform”) that provides you with Trading Services for digital assets (also known
as a ‘cryptocurrency’ or ‘virtual currency’), which is issued, stored, and/or transferred based on the protocol of a computer network known as
a blockchain or a public transaction ledger (“Digital Assets”). You may use the Platform to execute the following trades: (1) sale of a Digital
Asset for fiat or another Digital Asset; and (2) purchase of a Digital Asset with fiat or another Digital Asset.
Staking Services. BAM provides the option to earn rewards from on-chain networks by participating in on-chain staking for certain Digital
Assets eligible for staking (the “Eligible Tokens”), subject to these Terms. You may be eligible to stake Digital Assets on a third-party proof of
stake network using our products (“Staking Services”). BAM may perform any or all of the Staking Services described in these Terms directly
or through one or more service provider(s). If you designate Digital Assets for the Staking Services, BAM will stake the designated Digital
Assets by delegating such Digital Assets to a third-party staking service provider (“Staking Services Provider”). Staking Service Providers
used by BAM may include entities under common ownership to BAM. If the Staking Services Provider successfully validates a block of
transactions in a particular Digital Asset, you may earn a reward granted by that Digital Asset‘s network. The reward will be determined by the
protocols of the applicable network minus a commission paid to BAM for the Staking Services.
In order to use the Staking Services, you must opt-in by selecting the Eligible Tokens to stake from your Account. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, or which entity is the record holder of the Eligible Tokens, you retain ownership of such Eligible Tokens and such
Eligible Tokens shall remain your property when staked under the terms of this Agreement. Upon opting-in a portion or your entire balance of
Eligible Tokens, BAM shall remit to you the applicable percentage of staking rewards received from the Eligible Token protocol attributable to

Case 1:23-cv-01599-ABJ-ZMF Document
Filed 09/21/23 Page 5 of 26
your staked Eligible Tokens (“Staking Rewards”). Further details are available in your Account and on the BAM website. The applicable
percentage and timing of such remittances will: (i) be subject to BAM‘s staking fee; (ii) vary by the Eligible Token protocol; and (iii) be further
detailed in your Account. You agree and understand that neither BAM nor any Staking Services Provider guarantees that you will receive
Staking Rewards and that the applicable rewards rate (i) is an estimate only and not guaranteed, and (ii) may change.
You will not begin to earn rewards on the Eligible Tokens until (i) the period in which BAM collects customer requests to stake or unstake
Eligible Tokens and submits net customer requests to the relevant Staking Services Provider or protocol by BAM elapses (“Processing
Period”), and (ii) any bonding period imposed by the relevant protocol elapses (“Staking Period”). The Processing Period and Staking Period
are described further below. BAM collects customer requests to stake or unstake Eligible Tokens, and submits any net customer requests (see
below for more details) to the relevant Staking Services Provider every two days; this means, depending on when your request is submitted to
BAM within this two-day cycle, it may take up to two-days for BAM to process your request. Please note that, while BAM aims to and takes
commercially reasonable steps to provide uninterrupted and error-free operation of the Staking Services, certain technical issues or thirdparty disruptions over which BAM has no control could extend this period to longer than two days. In addition to the Processing Period,
certain protocols impose a Staking Period, and the Staking Period must elapse before you are eligible to earn Rewards. The Staking Period will
not begin until after the Processing Period has elapsed. In addition, you will not be able to withdraw your Eligible Tokens until the Staking
Period has elapsed.
Eligible Tokens withdrawn by you from the Staking Services may also be subject to certain unbonding periods imposed by the protocol for
which you have staked your Eligible Tokens (“Unstaking Period”). During the Unstaking Period, you will not continue to earn Rewards and the
Eligible Tokens may not be available to you until the Unstaking Period has elapsed.
To effectuate customer staking and unstaking requests, BAM collects customer staking requests for each Eligible Token during Processing
Periods, and nets them against customer unstaking requests made for the same Eligible Token during the same Processing Period to
determine the aggregate change to the overall staking position of BAM customers in the Eligible Token. This may result in BAM submitting a
staking or unstaking request to the relevant Staking Services Provider that differs from your individual staking or unstaking request, but which
reflects the aggregate change in position for all customer requests in an Eligible Token during the relevant Processing Period. As a result of
this processing methodology, there could be instances where Rewards are earned from an Eligible Token before the relevant Staking Period or
Unstaking Period elapses that are retained by BAM.
For more information about bonding and unbonding periods and the periods imposed by protocols for which BAM offers Staking Services,
please refer to our Staking Frequently Asked Questions here.
Your funds‘ private keys may be held in either hot or cold storage (in a wallet), as determined solely by BAM in accordance with its internal
security policies and procedures.
While BAM and/or the Staking Service Provider employ measures to ensure that the Staking Services are accessible 24 hours a day and 7 days
a week, neither BAM nor the Staking Service Provider can guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Staking Services or that BAM
and/or the Staking Service Provider will correct all defects or prevent third-party disruptions or unauthorized third-party access. In the event
of such disruptions, any staked Eligible Tokens may not be generating the Staking Rewards. BAM will use commercially reasonable efforts to
continue to provide Staking Services, directly, or via a Staking Services Provider, with respect to any Eligible Assets for which you are using
Staking Services, but may elect to terminate Staking Services for any Eligible Asset at any time. You are not required to stake with BAM to
maintain an Account(s) or use our Services.
Some token protocols may subject staked assets to a “slashing” penalty and non-payment of the applicable Staking Rewards if the
transaction validator incorrectly validates a transaction. BAM will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any staked assets from
slashing; however, you are solely responsible for any slashing penalties to the extent that the Staking Service Provider does not take
responsibility for the slashing penalties. At no point, and for no reason will BAM be liable for any slashing penalties.
You acknowledge and agree that (a) the continued ability to provide the Staking Services is dependent on elements beyond BAM‘s, or the
Staking Services Provider‘s control, (b) the staking of Eligible Assets or the use of the Staking Services may become subject to regulatory
controls that limit, restrict, prohibit or otherwise impose conditions on such activities; and (c) the Staking Services may become subject to
regulatory controls that limit, restrict, prohibit or otherwise impose conditions on such Staking Services.
Ethereum Staking. In addition to the terms outlined above, the following terms apply when you stake ETH using BAM‘s Staking Services.
Lockup Period. If you decide to stake ETH, you will not be able to access or use your ETH in any way until the Ethereum blockchain‘s
network upgrade has taken place and BAM successfully re-enables unstaking. BAM does not control the Ethereum blockchain and
therefore has no control over the timing or completion of this upgrade, nor will BAM be able to unstake your ETH for you until after this
upgrade has taken place and BAM is able to re-enable unstaking.
ETH Staking Rewards. Any rewards you accrue from staking ETH will remain locked on the Ethereum blockchain, and cannot be
accessed by BAM or by you, until the network upgrade is complete. Any ETH Rewards reflected in your account during the lockup period

are an estimate only and not guaranteed. You agree and understand that neither BAM nor any Staking Services Provider guarantees that
you will receive ETH Staking Rewards and that the applicable rewards rate (i) is an estimate only, and (ii) may change at any time.
Peer-to-Peer (Digital-Asset Only) Transfers. BAM provides you the option to send, request, and receive certain Digital Assets to or from other
users on our Platform for personal purposes (“P2P Service”). After you have funded your Account with Digital Assets eligible for sending to
other users, and while such Digital Assets remain in your Account, you will be able to use the P2P Service. As a party initiating a transfer
(“Sender”), you will designate a certain type and amount of eligible Digital Assets as well as the intended recipient (“Recipient”) of the
eligible Digital Asset by providing such instructions to BAM through the use of the P2P Service. You may also request eligible Digital Assets be
transferred to you through the P2P Service, as described below.
Eligibility. Only BAM Trading users who are eligible to use the Services and who have passed Identity Verification and/or Enhanced Due
Diligence (as set forth in the terms above) can use the P2P Service as a Sender or as a Recipient. Senders and Recipients may not use the
P2P Service if they are residents of a Restricted State. Senders may only initiate P2P transfers to a Recipient who is a BAM Trading user
who is eligible to use the Services and who has passed Identity Verification and/or Enhanced Due Diligence (as set forth in the terms
below). Recipients may only receive P2P transfers from a Sender who is a BAM Trading user.
Additional Terms for Senders. In addition to the terms outlined above, the following terms apply to Senders who use the P2P Service.
Process and Identification of a Recipient. As a Sender, you will be able to send eligible Digital Assets to a single, individual
Recipient by searching for a user‘s name in your contact list (if you have provided us with access to it) or by entering their email or
phone number if they are not in your contact list. In order to send the Digital Assets, you must provide the (i) amount; and (ii) type
of eligible Digital Asset that you wish to transfer (the “P2P Instructions”). By submitting P2P Instructions to us, you authorize us to
transfer the designated Digital Assets to the Recipient.
Transaction Timing. You understand and agree that when you initiate a transaction by entering P2P Instructions and confirming the
transaction, BAM will begin processing the transfer instruction immediately and the designated Digital Assets may leave your
Account as soon as the moment you confirm the transaction. Any Digital Assets you send through the P2P Service will be reflected
in the Recipient‘s Account, and will be available for use by the Recipient immediately following a successful and authorized transfer
confirmed by you.
Failed Transfers. A transfer initiated by a Sender may fail for various reasons (“Failed Transfer”). As a Sender, you may be able to
re-initiate a failed transfer by following the same steps as identified in the Transfer Process above for a new P2P transfer. For
instances of a failed transfer, you will be notified and receive a failed message with notice of the failed transfer. In the instances of a
failed transfer, the attempted transfer of Digital Assets will remain in your Account, and the Digital Assets will not be transferred to
the Recipient‘s Account.
Pending Transfers. Certain transactions initiated by you, as a Sender, may have a “Pending” status as displayed in your Account
(“Pending Transfers”). These transfers will remain in pending status for a certain period of time depending on various factors and
as soon as our system limitations allow. Pending Transfers will either fail due to various reasons or will eventually become a
successful transfer.
Liability for Transactions. With the exception of Pending Transfers or Failed Transfers, transfers of Digital Assets initiated through
the P2P Service will be transferred immediately from the Sender to the Recipient upon the Sender‘s confirmation and authorization
of the transfer. Please ensure you are sending the correct amount and type of Digital Asset to the correct recipient, as completed
transfers cannot be canceled or reversed. You agree that we shall not incur any liability if we are unable to complete any transaction
for any reason including but not limited to because of: (i) insufficient Digital Assets in your Account to complete the transfer
according to your P2P Instructions; (ii) any malfunction of the P2P Service due to circumstances beyond our control; (iii)
circumstances that you were already aware of or reasonably should have been aware of at the time you initiated your transfer
instruction; (iv) inaccurate or insufficient P2P Instructions; (v) any delays or other circumstances caused by any pending or failed
transfers; (vi) any errors or any direct or indirect actions taken by you, that result in a mistaken or accidental transfer; or (vii)
fluctuations in the market value of the Digital Asset. In addition, we shall not incur any liability for any delay in effectuating a
Transfer, regardless of the reason for that delay.
Fees. While we do not charge fees in order for you to use the P2P Service, if you choose to initiate the Digital Asset transfer based
on its equivalent U.S. dollar amount, the exchange rate between fiat and the digital asset may change between when the transfer is
requested by you and when it is executed by us. We will, in our sole discretion, calculate the amount of Digital Asset to transfer to
the Recipient based on the price of the Digital Asset and market conditions at or around the time of the transfer.
Additional Terms for Recipients. In addition to the terms outlined above, the following terms apply to Recipients who receive Digital
Assets via the P2P Service.

Receipt of Digital Assets. Any Digital Assets you receive through the P2P Service will be reflected in your Account, and available for
use by you immediately, so long as a successful transfer is authorized and confirmed by the Sender.
Failed Transfers. A transfer initiated by a Sender may fail for various reasons. A Sender may be able to re-initiate a failed transfer
by following the same steps as identified in the Transfer Process above for a new P2P transfer. For instances of a failed transfer, a
Sender will be notified and receive a message with notice of the failed transfer. In instances of a failed transfer, the Digital Assets
will remain in the Sender‘s Account, and the Digital Assets will not be transferred to your Account. Each Recipient agrees that we
shall not incur any liability if we are unable to complete any transfer initiated by a Sender for any reason, or if any transfer is
delayed for any reason.
Invalid Transfers. If you receive a transfer of Digital Assets through the P2P Service, and we later determine, in our sole discretion,
that the transfer was invalid for any reason, such transfer will be treated as an Erroneous Deposit and subject to the terms for
Erroneous Deposits set forth below.
Fees. While we do not charge fees in order for you to use the P2P Service, if the Sender chooses to initiate the Digital Asset transfer
based on its equivalent U.S. dollar amount, the exchange rate between fiat and the digital asset may change between when the
transfer is requested by you and when it is executed by us. We will, in our sole discretion, calculate the amount of Digital Asset to
transfer to you based on the market value of the Digital Asset and market conditions at or around the time of the transfer.
Requesting Digital Assets. You may also request eligible Digital Assets be transferred to you through the P2P Service by designating the
amount and type of eligible Digital Assets and your selected Sender (a “P2P Request”). You will be able to initiate a P2P Request to a
Sender by searching for a user‘s name in your contact list (if you have provided us with access to it) or by entering their email or phone
number if they are not in your contact list. A Sender may approve or deny a P2P Request within his or her sole discretion. If the Sender
authorizes your P2P Request, your P2P Request will become the Sender‘s P2P Instructions and will be processed as described above. If
the Sender fails to approve the P2P Request, then you will be notified.
Gifting Digital Assets. Senders may choose to transfer Digital Assets to single or multiple Recipient(s) through the “Crypto Box” feature
on our mobile application. To use the Crypto Box, a Sender must provide Instructions through the Crypto Box feature on the Binance.US
mobile application. Where the P2P Services can only be used to send Digital Assets to one Recipient per transaction, Crypto Box allows
Senders to transfer either an (i) identical; or (ii) randomized amount of Digital Assets to one or more Recipient(s) through the generation
of a single redemption code (“Redemption Code”). Senders may share the Redemption Code through their own, chosen communication
channels to selected Recipient(s) in their network. The Redemption Code may only be redeemed by the set number of Recipient(s), and
will be redeemed on a first-come, first-served basis. Although Recipients do not need to have an Account in order to receive a
Redemption Code, Recipients must create an Account, and therefore (i) be Eligible to use the Services, and (ii) pass Identity Verification
and/or Enhanced Due Diligence, in order to redeem the gifted Digital Assets through the Redemption Code. The Sender must choose the
total amount of Digital Assets to be transferred and the type of Digital Assets to be transferred before the Redemption Code is
generated. Once the Recipient(s) receive(s) the Redemption Code, he or she can enter the Redemption Code to redeem the Digital
Assets only on the BAM Trading Platform. By redeeming the Digital Assets, you agree that your first name, last initial, and amount
received will be visible to other recipients of that particular Crypto Box. If the Sender elects to send a randomized amount of Digital
Assets to the Recipient(s), the amount each Recipient receives will be determined by an algorithm that simulates a random split
between the Recipient(s). Once the Sender chooses to create a Crypto Box and a Redemption Code is generated, it cannot be canceled,
and the Digital Asset will no longer be available in the Sender‘s Account. Redemption Codes will expire after 48 hours. If a Redemption
Code expires prior to being redeemed by a Recipient(s), the Digital Asset(s) associated with such Redemption Code will transfer back to
the Sender's Account. Any unclaimed amounts of the Digital Asset(s) by the Recipients(s) of a Crypto Box will be returned to the
Sender‘s Account. Except for as described immediately above, each Crypto Box transaction is subject to the same terms and conditions
as any other P2P Service transaction, including the terms regarding Liability for Transactions set forth above.
Other Services. BAM may make available other services from time-to-time, which shall be subject to such terms and conditions as may be
established by BAM and published on the Sites.
Product Offerings. BAM may make available new products or modify existing products without seeking your consent. Additional terms and
conditions may apply to new or modified product offerings.
Fees. BAM‘s fees are available for your reference on our Fee Structure page. By using the Services, you agree to pay all applicable fees,
including, where applicable, spread fees. BAM may adjust fees from time to time.
Third-Party Payment Partners. We may use a third-party payment processor to process any U.S. dollar payment between you and BAM,
including but not limited to withdrawals or deposits to your BAM Fiat Wallet or Linked Wallet, as applicable. The name on your linked bank
account must match the name verified on your Account(s).

Fiat Currency. U.S. dollar deposits associated with your Account(s), and available for use in executing trades, are accessible via either (i) a
third-party Linked Wallet operated by Prime Trust, LLC, which balances are subject to the additional terms set forth in the Linked Wallet
Addendum, as well as the terms of service between you and Prime Trust, LLC; or (ii) a stored value wallet issued by BAM denominated in U.S.
dollars (“BAM Fiat Wallet”). The fiat currency (the U.S. dollar deposits) associated with your Account(s) is owned by you and title to the fiat
currency (the U.S. dollar deposits) in your Account(s) shall at all times remain with you.
BAM Fiat Wallet. All U.S. dollar deposits associated with your BAM Fiat Wallet are owned by you and held by BAM in omnibus accounts
for the sole benefit of customers at one or more intermediaries (“USD Custodians&r dquo;) selected by BAM. BAM is not a member of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and is not a bank, but has worked with the USD Custodians to ensure U.S. dollar
deposits associated with BAM Fiat Wallets are held by USD Custodians in omnibus accounts at FDIC-insured banks (“Banks”). Subject to
BAM‘s and the USD Custodian‘s compliance with the regulatory requirements for pass-through deposit insurance provided by the FDIC,
it is BAM‘s intention that the funds be eligible for FDIC pass-through deposit insurance up to the per-depositor coverage limit then in
place (currently $250,000 per eligible individual), which would only be applicable if a Bank were to fail. In the event the Bank does fail,
and if you have additional fiat currency held at such Bank, it is possible that your account(s) with Bank and the fiat associated with your
BAM Fiat Wallet will be aggregated for purposes of determining your eligibility for FDIC deposit insurance. FDIC insurance does not
protect against the failure of BAM or malfeasance by any BAM employee. Digital assets are not eligible for FDIC insurance protections. In
the event we terminate our relationship with a USD Custodian and we are unable to find another USD Custodian,, we will provide notice
and time to withdraw your U.S. dollar deposits. Any U.S. dollar deposits that are not withdrawn by the deadline provided in the notice will
be converted to stablecoin digital assets and transferred to your Digital Assets Account.
Assets. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, or which entity is the record holder of Digital Assets held in your Account(s), the
Digital Assets held in your Account(s) are owned and controlled by you and title to the Digital Assets held in your Account(s) shall at all times
remain with you. Such Digital Assets may be held in one or more omnibus wallets (either hot or cold storage as determined solely by BAM in
accordance with its internal security policies and procedures) for your sole benefit. Digital Assets are not legal tender, are not backed by any
government, and accounts and value balances are not subject to protections or insurance provided by the FDIC or the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation.
Account Creation
Setup. Full use of our Services requires that you create your Account(s) by: (1) providing us with information such as your full name, email
address (temporary, disposable, self-destructive or similar email addresses are prohibited), current home address and such other information
as we may require; (2) selecting a strong password or PIN; and (3) accepting these Terms and our Privacy Policy. BAM reserves sole and
absolute discretion to accept or reject any application for any reason or for no reason whatsoever, or limit the number of Account(s) that you
may hold. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons (defined below) be responsible or liable to you or any other person or
entity for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business or opportunities), damages, or costs arising from our decision to
reject your application to open an Account(s).
Identity Verification. As a money services business registered with the U.S. Department of the Treasury‘s Financial Crimes Enforcement
Network (“FinCEN”), BAM is required to, among other things, identify users on our Platform. You agree to provide us with the information we
request for the purposes of identity verification and the detection of money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other financial crime
and permit us to keep a record of such information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. You will need
to complete certain verification procedures before you are permitted to use the Services and your access to one or more Account(s) or the
Services, and the Limits (defined below) that apply to your use of the Account(s) or the Services may be altered as a result of information
collected on an ongoing basis.
In addition, as part of our risk management and fraud prevention processes we may from time-to-time require you to reconfirm or update
some of the information you entered when you took part in our identity verification procedure. The information we request may include
certain personal information, including, but not limited to, your name, address, telephone number, email address, date of birth, taxpayer
identification number, social security number or government identification number, scans of government-issued identity documents and when
applicable bank account information (such as the name of the bank, the account type, routing number, and account number) and in some
cases (where permitted by law), special categories of personal data, such as your biometric information. BAM will request your consent
before collecting any biometric information from you. In addition to providing this information, to facilitate compliance with global industry
standards for data retention, you agree to permit us to keep a record of such information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal and
regulatory obligations.
You agree to keep us updated if any of the information you provide changes. You authorize us to make inquiries, whether directly or through

third-parties, that we consider necessary to verify your identity or protect you and/or us against fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing,
or other financial crime, and to take any action we deem necessary based on the results of such inquiries. When we carry out these inquiries,
you acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be disclosed for identity verification, compliance data recordation, credit
reference, fraud prevention, or financial crime agencies and that these agencies may respond to our inquiries in full. If there is reasonable
doubt that any information provided by you is wrong, untruthful, outdated, or incomplete, BAM shall have the right to send you a notice to
request corrections, remove relevant information directly and, as the case may be, terminate all or part of the Services provided to you. BAM
shall also have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate, suspend, or restrict your access to any Account(s) or Services should
an issue arise with identity verification, including but not limited to circumstances in which BAM has requested additional verification
information from you but has not yet received or processed that information.
BAM will also use other information about you that we become aware of, such as your geographic location, your IP address, your transaction
data, and your user ISP/VPN address. We will store this information in our technical logs, and if we determine in our sole discretion that this
information is required for anti–fraud or anti-money-laundering purposes or to discharge any other legal obligation we may have, we will
make use of this information. In addition, again as part of our fraud prevention program or to discharge any other legal obligation BAM may
have, we may utilize your behavioral information as you use our Services, e.g., how often you log in, the typical amount that you trade, etc.
Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits,
business, or opportunities), damages, or costs suffered by you or any other person or entity due to any such termination, suspension, or
restriction of access to any Account(s) or Services as a result of our use of this information. Furthermore, you shall be solely and fully
responsible for any loss or expenses incurred during the use of the Services if you cannot be reached through the contact information
provided.
Enhanced Due Diligence. We may require you to submit additional information about yourself or your business or institution, provide records
or documentation, or have face-to-face meetings with representatives of BAM (such process, “Enhanced Due Diligence”). We reserve the
right to charge you for any costs and fees BAM incurs associated with such Enhanced Due Diligence. In its sole and absolute discretion, BAM
shall have the right to suspend or restrict your access to any Account(s) or Services pending submission of such Enhanced Due Diligence.
Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits,
business, or opportunities), damages, or costs suffered by you or any other person or entity due to any such termination, suspension, or
restriction of access to any Account(s) or Services.
Access. To access your Account(s) or the Services, you must have the necessary equipment (such as a computer or smartphone) and the
associated access to the Internet. Your Account(s) or the Services can be accessed directly using the Website or by such other mode of
access (including but not limited to through the BAM APIs) as BAM may prescribe from time-to-time. The use of the Website and other
methods may be subject to such additional terms as may be prescribed by BAM. You are only permitted to access your Account(s) using your
Account(s) login credentials and other required forms of authentication. We require multi-factor authentication to keep your Account(s) safe
and secure. As a result, you may be required to use at least two forms of authentication when accessing your Account(s) and performing
certain operations in your Account(s). Forms of multi-factor authentication in addition to your login credentials may include verification tokens
delivered through SMS or a specified and supported two-factor authentication (“2FA”) application. If you choose to install and use 2FA on a
device (e.g., phone or tablet) on which the operating system has been tampered with in any way, you do so at your own risk. This includes, but
is not limited to, a “rooted” (Android) or “jailbroken” (iOS) device. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to prohibit access from or by any
device on which the operating system has been or is suspected of having been modified or tampered with. You agree that we may provide
your 2FA data to a third-party service provider in order to help us authenticate you. You must update to the most recent operating system(s)
supported by BAM on your necessary equipment (such as a computer or smartphone) as soon as such operating system(s) update becomes
available. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to limit or suspend the Services offered to you if you attempt to access your Account(s) or
the Services on an outdated or unsupported operating system(s). As further described under No Warranty, BAM does not represent or warrant
that your Account(s) or any Services will be available without interruption. An interruption could result in the inability to buy, sell or withdraw
assets for periods of time and may also lead to support response time delays. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons
be responsible or liable for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business, or opportunities), damages, or costs suffered by
you or any other person or entity due to an interruption in your access to your Account(s) or any Services.
Personal Account Usage. You must ensure that Account(s) registered under your name will be used only for yourself, and not on behalf of any
third-party, unless you have obtained prior express written approval from BAM. You must notify us immediately of any breach of security, loss,
theft, or unauthorized use of your username, password, or security information. You must ensure that your home address is current and up to
date at all times. In the event your home address changes, it is your responsibility to provide BAM with your new home address. BAM reserves
the right to terminate, suspend, or restrict your access to any Account(s) or Services if there is reasonable suspicion, as determined in BAM‘s
sole and absolute discretion, that the person logged into your Account(s) is not you or if we suspect that the Account(s) have been or will be

used for any illegal, fraudulent, or unauthorized purposes. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or
liable for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business, or opportunities), damages, or costs suffered by you or any other
person or entity due to any such termination, suspension, or restriction of access to any Account(s) or Services.
Corporate Account Usage. If you are a corporation, legal person, entity, or other organization for whom BAM maintains a corporate account
for the provision of services (“Corporate Account”), you must ensure that your Corporate Account(s) will not be used by persons that have
not completed identity verification (See Identity Verification). You must notify us immediately of any breach of security, loss, theft, or
unauthorized use of your username, password, or security information. BAM reserves the right to terminate, suspend, or restrict your access
to any Corporate Account(s) or Services if there is reasonable suspicion, as determined in BAM‘s sole and absolute discretion, that the person
logged into your Corporate Account(s) is not the natural person authorized to use the Corporate Account or if we suspect that the Corporate
Account(s) have been or will be used for any illegal, fraudulent, or unauthorized purposes. Under no circumstances shall any of the
Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business or opportunities), damages, or
costs suffered by you or any other person or entity due to any such termination, suspension, or restriction of access to any Corporate
Account(s). At BAM‘s discretion, you may access the segregated account nested under the primary Corporate Account (“Sub-Account”)
feature on the Platform. Each natural person associated with a Sub-Account must undergo identity verification (See Identity Verification). Only
one natural person may be associated with a particular Sub-Account. You must notify us immediately of any breach of security, loss, theft, or
unauthorized use of your username, password, or security information. BAM reserves the right to terminate, suspend, or restrict your access
to any or all of the Services, if there is reasonable suspicion, as determined in BAM‘s sole and absolute discretion, that more than one natural
person has access to and/or transacts using the same Sub-Account, or if we suspect that Sub-Account(s) have been or will be used for any
illegal, fraudulent, or unauthorized purposes. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable for any
direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business or opportunities), damages, or costs suffered by you or any other person or entity
due to any such termination, suspension, or restriction of access to any Corporate Account(s).
Safeguarding Your Account. At all times, you shall maintain adequate security and control of all of your Account(s) details, passwords,
personal identification numbers, API keys, API secret keys, or any other codes that you use to access your Account(s) or the Services or to
send any instruction, request, or order given to BAM in relation to the operation of your Account(s) or to execute any Transaction (defined
below), through such medium and in such form and manner as BAM may require (“Instruction”) to us. Please note that should you use a
third-party API, you may be giving the third-party API provider access to your account. The indemnified Persons shall not be liable for any
actions taken by a third-party API provider, or for any other unauthorized access to your account taken as a result of the access you give to a
third-party, such as a third-party API provider. To be clear, if a third-party API provider with access to your account is hacked, the malicious
actor may also gain access to your account.
Information. BAM reserves the right to request, and you agree to provide, any and all information and documents BAM deems relevant or
necessary in connection with the use of the Platform and/or the Services. BAM shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to
suspend or restrict your access to any Account(s) or Services pending submission of such information and documents. All information
processed by BAM or any third-parties BAM gives access to your data consistent with BAM‘s Privacy Policy and these Terms may be
transferred, processed, and stored anywhere in the world, including, but not limited to, the United States. Other countries‘ data protection
laws may differ from the laws where you live. BAM endeavors to protect your information consistent with applicable law. Under no
circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits,
business, or opportunities), damages, or costs suffered by you or any other person or entity due to any such termination, suspension, or
restriction of access to any Account(s) or Services.
Account Closure. You may terminate your Account(s) at any time by following the account termination procedures as prescribed by BAM from
time-to-time. You will not be charged for terminating your Account(s), although you will be required to pay any outstanding amounts owed to
us. You authorize us to cancel or suspend any pending transactions at the time of cancellation.
Account Termination, Suspension, or Restriction. As detailed below, BAM has the right to terminate, suspend, or restrict your access to your
Account(s) or Services, as well as take any other action as we deem necessary, for the reasons detailed below.
Death of Account Holder. You agree that in the event of your death, the representative(s) of your estate or the survivor or survivors shall give
BAM written notice thereof as soon as practicable. If BAM receives legal documentation or has reason to believe you have died, BAM will
freeze your account. Your account will be frozen until: (1) a representative of your estate or authorized beneficiary, if located in a nonRestricted State and not otherwise prohibited from doing so, opens a BAM Account or, if located in a Restricted State, provides wire transfer or
ACH transfer instructions and provides sufficient legal documentation that they are entitled to receive the assets in your Account; or (2) you
provide satisfactory notification to BAM that you are not deceased. Beneficiaries receiving a wire transfer or ACH transfer will receive the
liquidated value of the assets in the Account less any fees and costs associated with transfer. BAM‘s ability to provide your representative(s)
with the assets in your Account is subject to the restrictions imposed by law, regulation, court orders, technical capabilities, best practices,

and these Terms. BAM‘s ability to provide your representative(s) with the assets in your Account may also be impacted by the location of
residence of the representative(s) and the ability of the representative to open a BAM account to receive your Account assets. BAM does not
commit to any particular timeline for the transfer of your Account assets.
Transactions
Transactions. Except to the extent described elsewhere in these Terms of Use, when you sell, purchase, send, or carry out other transactions
in Digital Asset(s), other asset(s), or product(s) as BAM may from time-to-time permit to be carried out on the Platform (“Transactions”), you
are not Transacting with BAM. Rather, BAM acts as the agent, transacting on your behalf, to facilitate such Transaction between you and other
users. You can purchase Digital Asset(s) using: (1) Digital Asset(s) or fiat currency in your BAM Account(s) (through the use of the BAM Fiat
Wallet or third-party Linked Wallet, as applicable to your BAM Account); (2) a valid bank account in the name that matches your Account(s); or
(3) a credit or debit card in the name that matches your Account(s) (“Payment Methods”). Using a Payment Method to purchase Digital
Asset(s) generally will initiate on the Business Day (defined below) that we receive your Instructions. Digital Asset(s) that you purchase will be
deposited into your Account(s) as soon as the funds have settled to BAM, which may take up to ten Business Days if the purchase was made
via a bank account, credit, or debit card. As further described under No Warranty, BAM does not represent or warrant that any Transaction will
be completed successfully or within a specific time period. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or
liable for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business, or opportunities), damages, or costs suffered by you or any other
person or entity due to the failure of a Transaction or the length of time needed to complete any Transaction.
Trading Rules. You agree to adhere to, and be bound by, the Trading Rules. BAM may, from time-to-time at its sole and absolute discretion,
amend, supplement, or replace the Trading Rules, which shall be binding on you if you continue to maintain your Account(s) or use any of the
Services after the effective date of any such amendment, supplement, or replacement of the Trading Rules.
Market Makers. BAM may contract with market makers, including market makers under common ownership to BAM, and market makers that
are incorporated or otherwise operating outside of the United States, to promote liquidity and facilitate trading on the Platform and with
respect to certain of BAM‘s other trading products and services. BAM‘s determinations concerning whether and how to onboard such market
makers are made entirely at its sole and absolute discretion. You acknowledge and agree that certain services, including One Click Buy/Sell
(“OCBS”), Convert, and over-the-counter (“OTC”) trading, are executed against or facilitated by BAM, entities under common ownership to
BAM, and/or other entities, and that it is anticipated that there are circumstances under which BAM will transact on the platform for its own
account. You further 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 any of the Indemnified Persons be
responsible or liable for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business, or opportunities), damages, or costs suffered by you or
any other person or entity as a result of the market making activities of the market makers.
Limits. You may be subject to limits on the value of Transactions, or deposits into or withdrawals out of your Account(s) (together, “Limits”),
stated in USD, that you may transact in a given period (e.g., daily). We reserve the right to change any applicable Limits from time-to-time in
our sole and absolute discretion. If you wish to increase the Limits applicable to you, you may submit a request to our user support team via
our Support page. BAM may, in its sole and absolute discretion, increase your Limit, lower your Limit, or maintain your current Limit, in each
case subject to any further conditions that we deem necessary.
Unauthorized Transactions. You are solely responsible for the control and use of your Account(s) and any Instruction sent from your
Account(s) is deemed to be authorized and is binding on you. We are not obliged to verify the identity or authority of any person(s) using your
Account(s) for the purpose of ensuring that you in fact have made or authorized the Instruction. We shall be at liberty to accept, and rely on,
any Instruction sent from your Account(s). Notify us immediately if you notice unauthorized or suspicious activity in your Account(s). Under no
circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits,
business, or opportunities), damages, or costs suffered by you or any other person or entity, arising from or in connection with any of the
Indemnified Persons‘ reliance on any Instruction sent from your Account(s).
Retention Of Transaction Information. To facilitate compliance with global industry standards for data retention, you agree to permit us (but
agree to not require us) to keep a record of all Transaction information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal or regulatory
obligations or to enforce our rights. Please review our Privacy Policy for more information on how we collect and process personal information
relating to the use and performance of our Sites and Services.
Third-Party Applications. You may decide to grant access to your Account or Account credentials to a third-party (including, without
limitation, third-party applications, bots, or browser extensions) (each, a “Third-Party Application”). By doing so, you are granting permission
to a Third-Party Application to access or connect to your Account, and you expressly authorize BAM to provide information to, or accept

information, including Instructions, from, such Third-Party Application. You should carefully consider both the functionality purportedly
offered by the Third-Party Application and the developer offering the functionality before authorizing the application to access your Account.
Unless otherwise stated, we have no control over Third-Party Applications and assume no responsibility for developers‘ actions. If you
authorize a Third-Party Application to connect to your Account and take actions on your behalf, you assume all risks associated with the use
of that Third-Party Application. If you have disputes with any Third-Party Application, you will need to address them directly with such ThirdParty Application, or its developer. You acknowledge that we do not endorse or recommend any Third-Party Application for your use or that of
any other user. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable for any direct or indirect losses
(including loss of profits, business, or opportunities), damages, or costs suffered by you or any other person or entity, arising out of or related
to any act or omission of any Third-Party Application (including, without limitation, developers or other users of such Third-Party Application)
using your Account credentials.
Reversals & Cancellations. You cannot cancel, reverse, or change any transaction marked as complete or pending. If your payment is not
successful, if your payment method has insufficient funds, or if you reverse a payment made from funds in your bank account, you authorize
BAM, in its sole discretion, either to cancel the transaction or to debit your other payment methods in any amount necessary to complete the
transaction. You are responsible for maintaining an adequate balance in order to avoid overdraft, non-sufficient funds (“NSF”), or similar fees
charged by your payment provider. We reserve the right to refuse to process, or to cancel or reverse, any Transaction or Transfers in our sole
discretion, even after funds have been debited from your account(s), if we suspect the transaction involves (or has a high risk of involvement
in) money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other type of financial crime; in response to a subpoena, court order, or other
government order; if we reasonably suspect that the transaction is erroneous; or if BAM suspects the transaction relates to a Prohibited Use
or a Prohibited Business as set forth below. In such instances, BAM will reverse the transaction and we are under no obligation to allow you to
reinstate a purchase or sale order at the same price or on the same terms as the canceled transaction.
Erroneous Deposits. Should you receive assets into your Account(s) that were deposited in error, including by BAM or any third-party
(including but not limited to another customer of BAM), you hereby authorize BAM, in its sole discretion, to withdraw these assets from your
Account(s). Erroneous deposits include situations where your account is credited with digital assets or funds that you never deposited. If you
receive erroneous deposits into your Account(s) and withdraw those assets before BAM does so, BAM reserves the right to demand the return
of these assets, and should you refuse to do so, to liquidate assets in your Account(s) without notice. Where you receive an asset(s) deposited
in error, you will be liable for returning that asset. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable for
any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business or opportunities), damages, or costs suffered by you or any other person or
entity, due to any of the Indemnified Persons‘ action or inaction taken as a result of an erroneous deposit of assets into your Account(s).
Transfers of Unsupported Assets. You cannot deposit digital assets in your Account(s) unless those digital assets are supported on the BAM
platform. A list of digital assets supported by BAM‘s platform is published on our site. Even if a digital asset is supported that does not
necessarily mean that versions of that digital asset that trade on other blockchains - i.e. “wrapped” versions of the digital asset - are
supported assets. It is your responsibility to ensure that a digital asset is supported. BAM recommends that you “test” deposits of
negligible amounts of the digital asset in question if you have any doubt as to whether a digital asset is supported. Should you attempt to
deposit unsupported digital assets in your Account(s), BAM has no responsibility to recover these assets or to attempt to do so. Under no
circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business
or opportunities), damages, or costs suffered by you or any other person or entity, due to any of the Indemnified Persons‘ action or inaction
taken as a result of your attempt to deposit unsupported assets into your Account(s).
Trading Risks
Forks. It is possible that planned, unplanned, sudden, scheduled, expected, unexpected, publicized, not well-known, consensual, and/or
controversial changes to the underlying operating rules of certain Digital Assets may occur from time-to-time in such a way as to result in the
creation of one or more related versions of an existing Digital Asset (each instance of any such change, a “Fork”). Forks may result in multiple
versions of a Digital Asset and could lead to the dominance of one or more such versions of a Digital Asset (each a “Dominant Digital Asset”)
and the partial or total abandonment or loss of value of any other versions of such Digital Asset (each a “Non-Dominant Digital Asset”). We
are under no obligation to support a Fork of a Digital Asset that you hold in your Account(s), whether or not any resulting version of such
Forked Digital Asset is a Dominant Digital Asset or a Non-Dominant Digital Asset. If we elect, at our sole and absolute discretion, to support a
Fork of a Digital Asset, we will make a public announcement through the Website. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified
Persons (defined below) be responsible or liable for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business, or opportunities),
damages or costs suffered by you or any other person or entity, arising from or in connection with any of the Indemnified Persons‘ (1) decision

to support such Fork or the timing of implementation of such support, or (2) decision to not support a Fork of any given Digital Asset, including
the determination to support, continue to support, or cease to support any Dominant Digital Asset or Non-Dominant Digital Asset.
Airdrops. We shall have sole and absolute discretion to decide whether or not to support any distributions, dividends, or “airdrops” of Digital
Assets to Account(s) operated by us (collectively, “Airdrops”), regardless of whether or not you would have received such Airdrops if you held
your Digital Assets outside of the Account(s) operated by us. We have no obligation to distribute and/or support any Airdrop and shall bear no
liability to you or any other persons for failing to do so.
Disclosure. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING RISKS, IN ADDITION TO RISKS PUBLISHED BY BAM THROUGH ONE OR
MORE RISK DISCLOSURES ON ITS WEBSITE, RELATING TO THE USE OF THE PLATFORM AND THE SERVICES:
the risk of loss in trading Digital Assets may be substantial and losses may occur over a short period of time;
the price and liquidity of Digital Assets has been subject to large fluctuations in the past and may be subject to large fluctuations in the
future;
Digital Assets are not legal tender, are not backed by any government, and accounts and value balances are not subject to protections or
insurance provided by the FDIC or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation;
in your jurisdiction, BAM may not be regulated as a financial institution;
executive orders, judicial interpretations of statutes and regulations, legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal,
territorial, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, taxing, and value of Digital Assets;
Digital Asset blockchains may Fork, and we may not support the Forked Digital Asset promptly or at all;
Transactions (defined above) in Digital Assets may be irreversible, and accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental Transactions
may not be recoverable;
some transactions in Digital Assets shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or
time that you or any other user initiates or completes the Transactions on the Platform;
the value of Digital Assets may be derived from or influenced by the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat
currencies for Digital Assets, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular Digital Asset should
the market for that Digital Asset disappear;
the nature of Digital Assets may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyberattack;
the nature of Digital Assets means that technological difficulties experienced by BAM may prevent access to, or use of, your Digital
Assets;
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;
there is no assurance that a person who accepts a Digital Asset as payment today will continue to do so in the future;
any bond or trust account maintained by BAM for the benefit of its customers may not be sufficient to cover all losses incurred by
customers;
BAM may experience sophisticated cyberattacks, unexpected surges in activity, or other operational or technical difficulties that may
cause interruptions in the Services;
BAM having Digital Assets on deposit or with any third-party, including entities with common ownership to BAM, in a custodial
relationship has attendant risks, which include security breaches, risk of contractual breach, and risk of loss; and
Digital Assets blockchains may become congested or become nonoperational because of attacks, bugs, hard forks, or other
unforeseeable reasons.
BAM does not provide any financial, investment, business, accounting, tax, legal, or other advice to you. BAM is not holding any fiat monies
and/or Digital Assets as your trustee, and is not acting as your broker, futures commission merchant, intermediary, agent, trustee, advisor or in
any fiduciary capacity. All Transactions are executed automatically, based on your Instructions (defined below), and you are solely responsible
for determining whether any investment, investment strategy, or Transaction is appropriate for you based on your personal investment
objectives, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance.
While BAM has implemented policies and procedures designed to effect compliance with relevant laws and regulations, there can be no
assurance that BAM and its employees will not fail to comply with new laws and regulations or with interpretations of existing laws and
regulations, or that its policies and procedures for listing digital assets on its platform will always be in line with such laws and regulations.
Digital Asset Delisting. From time-to-time and in our sole and absolute discretion, we may remove one or more Digital Assets from the
Platform such that you will no longer be able to access such Digital Assets as part of the Trading Services and will be no longer able to

reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, where we are required to do so by any applicable law or regulation (including, without
limitation, any U.S. federal or state securities laws), or any court or authority to which we are subject in any jurisdictions. You hereby
acknowledge and consent to our ability to take such delisting actions, including, without limitations, to cancel your outstanding Instructions
with respect to delisted Digital Assets and require you to remove delisted Digital Assets within a reasonable period of time, beyond which you
will no longer be able to access the delisted Digital Assets. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or
liable for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business, or opportunities), damages or costs suffered by you or any other
person or entity, due to any of the Indemnified Persons‘ action or inaction in accordance with these Terms.
Instructions
Your Instructions. You are solely responsible for accurately entering any Instruction. BAM is not obliged to verify the accuracy or
completeness of any such information or Instruction, or for monitoring, or refusing to process duplicate Instructions. Your Instructions are
irrevocable, unconditional, and are binding on you, and such Instructions may be acted or relied upon by us irrespective of any other
circumstances. As such, once you give any Instruction, you have no right to rescind or withdraw such Instruction without our written consent.
Your Instruction shall not be considered to be received by BAM until it has been received by BAM‘s server. Additionally, BAM‘s records of all
Instructions shall be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes.
Your Identity Or Authority. BAM has no obligation to verify the identity or authority of any person giving any Instruction or the authenticity of
such Instruction. Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable for any direct or indirect losses
(including loss of profits, business or opportunities), damages, or costs suffered by you or any other person or entity, arising from any of the
Indemnified Persons relying or acting upon any Instruction which is given or purported to be given by you, regardless of the circumstances
prevailing at the time of such Instruction, the nature of the arrangement, services, or transaction made pursuant to such Instruction or the
amount of money involved and notwithstanding any error, misunderstanding, fraud, forgery, lack of clarity, or authorization in the terms of

for any User Material (whether provided by you or by third-parties) which may be made available on the Sites, and (2) use of any such User
Material is at your own risk and that we do not provide any warranties in relation to the same. Any feedback and suggestions submitted to us

any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained in such information. We shall not be subject to any obligations of confidentiality or
privacy regarding such submitted information except as agreed by the relevant BAM group entity having the direct customer relationship or as
otherwise specifically agreed or required by law.
Removal Of Content. We shall have the right at our sole and absolute discretion to remove, modify or reject any content that you submit to,
post or display on the Sites (including any User Material) which in our sole opinion is unlawful, violates these Terms, or could subject us or any
of our affiliates, directors, employees, officers, or third-party service providers to liability. We shall have the right to take any enforcement
actions as we deem appropriate at our sole discretion, including but not limited to giving a written warning to you, removing any User Material,

Chat
At any time and in connection with any Service that BAM provides, BAM may make interactive online chat (“Chat”) services available to you.
Subject to and consistent with No Warranty, BAM makes no warranty that the Chat service will be available at any particular time or be free of fault
or error, and accepts no liability for the accuracy of information provided or statements made via the Chatbot. If you are under the age of 18 years
old and are invited to use the Chat service, you must not use the Chat service and you must leave the Site. During your use of the Chat service, you
may interact with a bot, chatbot, or other non-human (each, a “Chatbot”). We will disclose the use of the Chatbot to the extent required by
applicable law. When engaging with us through use of the Chat service, be advised that chats will be monitored and saved.
The Chat service is provided as a convenience, often to facilitate your understanding of the Services. Our Chat service will make reasonable efforts
to provide you with accurate and current information based on your question or need. Nothing we communicate in the Chat service will be
considered a legal agreement, representation, or warranty as to our Services, processes, decisions, or response times. Providing or participating in
the Chat service does not constitute consent by you or us to use electronic records and signatures as a substitute for written documents. Any
personal information shared with us when using the Chat service shall be subject to the applicable privacy-related policies and notices described
in our Privacy Policy.
You will not use the Chat service to send any abusive, defamatory, dishonest, or obscene message, and doing so may result in termination of the
Chat service session.
General Terms
Sites' Accuracy. Although we intend to provide accurate and timely information on the Sites, the Sites may not always be entirely accurate,
complete, or current and may also include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. In an effort to continue to provide you with as
complete and accurate information as possible, information may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be changed or updated from time
to time without notice, including without limitation information regarding our policies, agreements, products, and services. Accordingly, you
should verify all information before relying on it, and all decisions based on information contained on the Sites are your sole responsibility and
we shall have no liability for any such decisions. Links to third-party websites (including, without limitation, content, materials, and/or
information in the third-party websites) may be provided as a convenience but they are not controlled by us. You acknowledge and agree that
we are not responsible for any aspect of the content, materials, information or services contained in any third-party websites accessible or
linked from the Sites.
Export Controls And Sanctions. Your use of the Services and Sites is subject to applicable requirements under export control laws and
Sanctions. By trading Digital Assets on the Platform or accessing the Services, you agree that you will fully comply with any and all such
requirements. You represent and warrant to us that you, and if applicable, any of your directors, officers, and employees are not any person:
(1) that is the subject or target of any Sanctions; (2) named in any Sanctions-related list maintained by the U.S. Department of State, the U.S.
Department of Commerce, or the U.S. Department of the Treasury, including the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, the

Sectoral Sanctions Identifications List, and the Foreign Sanctions Evaders List, or any similar list maintained by any other relevant
governmental authority; (3) located, organized, or resident in a country, territory or geographical region which is itself the subject or target of
any territory-wide Sanctions (currently including, without limitation, the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, Cuba, Iran, North
Korea, and Syria); and (4) any person owned or controlled by any such person or persons described in the foregoing clauses (1)-(3) (any such
person described in the foregoing clauses (1)-(4) a “Sanctioned Person”). You are not permitted to transact in Digital Assets or use any of the
Services if: (1) we are prohibited from providing Services to you under any applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to
applicable Sanctions; or (2) you intend to transact or deal with any Sanctioned Person, or otherwise transact or deal with any person in
violation of Sanctions or in any manner that would cause any person, including BAM, to be in violation of applicable Sanctions.
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain,
verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
What this means to you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth for individuals, and any other
information that will allow us to identify you. In certain situations, we may also ask to see a form of identification with your photograph. For
entities we may ask to see formative documents, and for private investment vehicles and trusts we may ask to see evidence of source of
funds and beneficial ownership or other identifying documents.
Special Measures (Section 311) Customer Notification. BAM Trading is also registered as a Money Services Business with FinCEN. As such,
the U.S Department of the Treasury requires BAM to notify their customers as follows: Pursuant to U.S regulations issued under Section 311 of
the USA PATRIOT Act, 31 USC 5318A, BAM is prohibited from establishing, maintaining, administering, or managing an account for, or on
behalf of: Burmese banking institutions, as defined in 31 CFR § 1010.651(a)(1); the Commercial Bank of Syria, as defined in 31 CFR §
1010.653(a)(1), which includes Syrian Lebanese Commercial Bank; FBME Bank, Ltd., as defined in 31 CFR § 1010.658(a)(1); North Korean
banking institutions, as defined in 31 CFR § 1010.659(a)(1); Bank of Dandong, as defined in 31 CFR § 1010.660(a)(1); and Iranian financial
institutions, as defined in 31 CFR § 1010.661(a)(1) (collectively “Section 311 Entities”). The regulations also require us to notify you that your
account with Binance.US may not be used to provide services to or on behalf of, or involve, any of the Section 311 Entities. If any Section 311
Entities are found to be indirectly using or accessing the account, we will be required to take appropriate steps to prevent such access,
including terminating your account.
Amendments. We may amend, supplement, and/or replace these Terms and any terms and conditions incorporated by reference, now or in
the future, by posting on the Website or emailing to you the revised terms and conditions, and the revised terms and conditions shall be
effective at such time. If you do not agree with any such amendment, supplement, or replacement of such terms and conditions, your sole and
exclusive remedy is to terminate your use of the Services and close your Account(s).
Relationship Of The Parties. You acknowledge and agree that: (1) BAM is not holding any fiat monies and/or Digital Assets as your trustee,
and is not acting as your broker, futures commission merchant, intermediary, agent, trustee, advisor or in any fiduciary capacity; and (2) no
communication or information provided to you by us shall be considered or construed as any form of advice.
Privacy Of Others. If you receive information about another user through the Platform or from utilizing our Services, you must keep the
information confidential and only use it in connection with the Services and always in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. You
must not disclose or distribute any user information to a third-party, or use the information in any manner except as reasonably necessary to
effect a Transaction.
Email Security. You shall keep the email account associated with your Account(s) (“Email Account”) secure against any attacks and
unauthorized access at all times. You are required to notify BAM immediately if you have knowledge or have reason for suspecting that the
security of your Email Account has been compromised or if there has been any unauthorized use of your Email Account. Under no
circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits,
business, or opportunities), damages or costs suffered by you or any person by reason of or arising from or as a consequence of any access
(whether authorized or not) to your Email Account by any person, any breach of security of your Email Account, or any Transactions,
Instructions, or operations effected by you or purported to be effected by you through your Email Account.
Security Breach. If you suspect that your Account(s) or any of your security details have been compromised or if you become aware of any
fraud or attempted fraud or any other security incident (including a cyber-security attack) affecting you and/or BAM (together a “Security
Breach”), you must immediately lock your Account(s) via the disable account function on the Website or via any other method as may be
prescribed by BAM from time-to-time, contact our customer support via our Support page, and continue to provide accurate and up to date
information throughout the duration of the Security Breach. You must take any steps that we may reasonably require to reduce, manage, or
report any Security Breach. Failure to provide prompt notification of any Security Breach may be considered in our determination of the
appropriate resolution of the matter.
Contact Information. You are responsible for keeping your email address, address and any other contact information up to date in your
Account(s) in order to receive any notices or alerts that we may send you (including notices or alerts of an actual or suspected Security

Breach).
Taxes. It is your responsibility to determine what U.S. tax filing obligations may apply to you. BAM is not responsible for your overall tax filing
obligations and recommends you work with a tax advisor to determine any tax obligations you may have. However, BAM may withhold taxes
and issue year-end tax reporting on your income from trading, rewards earned and staking.
Unclaimed Property. If we hold your assets, and we are unable to contact you and have no record of your use of the Services for several
years, applicable laws and regulations may require us to report our holdings of such fiat monies or Digital Assets as unclaimed property to the
authorities in certain jurisdictions. We will try to locate you at the address shown in our records, but if we are unable to, we may be required to
deliver any such fiat monies or Digital Assets to the authorities in certain jurisdictions as unclaimed property. We reserve the right to deduct a
dormancy fee or other administrative charges in respect of such unclaimed monies or Digital Assets, as permitted by applicable laws and
regulations.
Entire Agreement. These Terms (including any documents, materials, or information incorporated by reference herein) set forth the entire
understanding between you and BAM with respect to the Services.
Clause Headings. Clause headings in these Terms are for convenience only and shall not govern the meaning or interpretation of any
provision of these Terms.
Transfer. These Terms (including any documents, materials, or information incorporated by reference herein) are personal to you and you are
not permitted to novate, transfer or assign your rights, interests, liabilities, and/or obligations to anyone else without our prior written consent.
However, you hereby acknowledge and agree that we shall have sole and absolute discretion to novate, transfer, or assign these terms
(including any documents, materials or information incorporated by reference herein) or any of our rights, interests, liabilities, and/or
obligations at any time to anyone else, including, without limitation, in connection with any merger, acquisition, or other corporate
reorganization involving BAM.
Security Interests. You undertake not to create any security over your fiat monies or Digital Assets held in any of your Account(s) without our
prior written consent.
Invalidity/Severability. If any provision of these Terms, terms and conditions or information incorporated by reference in these Terms is or
becomes illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of any other
provisions in these Terms.
Enforcement Of Our Rights. BAM‘s rights and remedies under these Terms are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by law or by any other agreement. Any failure or delay on the part of BAM to exercise any right or remedy under these Terms shall
not operate as a waiver of such right or remedy. Any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
Language. These Terms may, at BAM‘s sole and absolute discretion, be translated into a language other than the English language. You agree
that any such translation shall only be for your convenience and the English text shall prevail in the event of any ambiguity, discrepancy or
omission as between the English text and any translated text.
Third-Party Rights. Nothing expressed or referred to in these Terms will be construed to give any person other than the parties to these
Terms any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to these Terms or any provision of these Terms, except as set out in
this paragraph. These Terms and all of its provisions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to these Terms and their successors
and permitted assigns, provided that the Staking Service Provider (including its Indemnified Parties) may rely on your representations,
warranties, and covenants in connection with a defense of any claim or proceeding against them.
Survival. All provisions of these Terms, which by their nature extend beyond the expiration or termination of these Terms, will continue to be
binding and operate after the termination or expiration of these Terms.
Governing Law And Jurisdiction. These Terms shall be construed in accordance with and governed for all purposes by the laws and public
policy of the State of California applicable to contracts executed and to be wholly performed within such state.
Force Majeure. BAM shall not be liable for delays, failure in performance or interruption of service which result directly or indirectly from any
cause or condition beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, any act of God, significant market volatility, nuclear or natural
disaster, pandemic, action or inaction of civil or military authorities, act of war, terrorism, sabotage, civil disturbance, strike or other labor
dispute, accident, state of emergency, malfunction of equipment, interruption or malfunction of utility, communications, computer (hardware
or software), Internet, or network provider services, other catastrophe or any other occurrence which is beyond BAM‘s reasonable control.

Submitting A Complaint. If you have a complaint, you may, but are not required to, first open a ticket with Customer Support and work with
Customer Support to resolve your issue. Once you have already done so, and Customer Support has been unable to resolve your issue, please
email your complaint to resolutions@binance.us. In that email, you must provide your Customer Support ticket number, state the cause of
your complaint, how you would like us to resolve the complaint, and any other information you believe to be relevant. Without a Customer
Support ticket, we will not be able to respond meaningfully to your complaint email. Upon receiving your complaint, we will open a support
ticket and a user complaints officer (“Complaint Officer”) will review your complaint. The Complaint Officer will review your complaint
without prejudice, based on the information you provided and any information we may derive from our records. Within thirty business days
((all days excluding Saturday, Sundays, and any bank holiday in the State of California) (“Business Days”)) of our receipt of your complaint,
the Complaint Officer will use reasonable efforts to address the points raised in your complaint and the Complaint Officer may: (1) offer to
resolve your complaint in the way you have requested; (2) reject your complaint and set out the reasons for the rejection; or (3) offer to
resolve your complaint with an alternative proposal or solution. In exceptional circumstances, if the Complaint Officer is unable to respond to
your complaint within thirty Business Days, the Complaint Officer will use reasonable efforts to send you a holding response indicating the
reasons for a delay in answering your complaint and specifying the deadline by which the Complaint Officer will respond to your complaint.
Offers. Any offer of resolution made to you will only become binding on BAM if accepted by you. An offer of resolution will not constitute any
admission by us of wrongdoing or liability regarding the complaint‘s subject matter.
Arbitration
BAM and you agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, including, but not limited to, legal and
equitable claims, federal and state statutory claims, common law claims, and those based in contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other
legal theory, shall be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis (except as specifically noted below). Arbitration shall be conducted
in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), Consumer Arbitration Rules. In agreeing to this binding commitment
to arbitrate their claims, BAM and you agree that they waive any right to proceed in a court of law or to have their claims heard by a jury. The
arbitration shall: (1) be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator in the English language; (2) be held virtually and not in person for all proceedings
related to the arbitration, except by mutual agreement of all parties; and (3) be limited to one deposition per party, except by mutual agreement of
all parties or upon a showing of need. Furthermore, in cases where neither party‘s claim(s) or counterclaim(s) exceed $25,000, both parties agree
to waive an arbitration hearing and resolve the dispute solely through submissions of documents to the arbitrator. The AAA rules, as well as
instructions on how to file an arbitration proceeding with the AAA, appear at adr.org, or you may call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
Without waiving or otherwise affecting the Class Action Waiver below, in the event that your claim(s) in an arbitration substantially implicate or
relate to the rights of, or claims by, other BAM customers who have also initiated arbitration against BAM, you agree that BAM shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to join or consolidate such arbitrations into a single arbitration, in BAM‘s sole discretion.
Confidentiality. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or BAM shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after
the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly
confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of
the arbitrator‘s decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as
required by applicable law.
Delegation. Any dispute between BAM and You regarding the construction, interpretation, or application of this arbitration provision, including the
enforceability, severability, revocability, scope, or validity of this arbitration provision, shall be decided by an arbitrator and not by a court or judge.
Class Action Waiver
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN A PARTY‘S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS
A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
UNLESS BOTH YOU AND BAM AGREE, NO ARBITRATOR OR JUDGE MAY CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON‘S CLAIMS
OR ENGAGE IN ANY CLASS ARBITRATION. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU AND BAM
EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO: (1) A JURY TRIAL; AND (2) PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. IF A COURT DECIDES THAT
APPLICABLE LAW PRECLUDES ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THIS PARAGRAPH‘S LIMITATIONS AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM
FOR RELIEF, THEN THAT CLAIM (AND ONLY THAT CLAIM) MUST BE SEVERED FROM THE ARBITRATION AND MAY BE
BROUGHT IN COURT. THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS SUBJECT TO AND DOES NOT IMPAIR OR IMPEDE BAM‘S RIGHT TO
CONSOLIDATE RELATED USER CLAIMS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
