Please read these Terms of Use carefully.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS DO NOT REGISTER AN ACCOUNT OR ACCESS OR USE THE SITE.
Your use of the Site is governed by the version of the Terms of Use in effect on the date of use. Legend may modify the Terms of Use at any time and without prior notice. By using and accessing the Site, you acknowledge and agree to review the most current version of these Terms of Use prior to each such use. Your continued use of and access to the Site constitutes your acknowledgement of, and agreement to, the then current Terms of Use.
The provisions of these Terms of Use are in addition to any additional policies incorporated herein or any other agreements between you and Legend, a third party platform or a Legend’s authorized partner such as any customer or account agreements, and any other agreements that govern your use of products, services, content, tools, and information available on the Site.
You understand, acknowledge, and accept the following risk disclaimer:
The risk of loss from trading or holding Cryptocurrency can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether trading or holding cryptocurrency is suitable for you according to your financial condition. In considering whether to trade or hold Cryptocurrency, you should be aware that the price or value of Cryptocurrency can change rapidly, decrease, and potentially even fall to zero.
Legend Trading’s service to you does not include custody or safekeeping of your Cryptocurrency. You are solely responsible for safeguarding or holding your Cryptocurrency in the wallet you have elected to use and for protecting the private keys or other security information to access your Cryptocurrency. Legend Trading is not responsible for any loss of Cryptocurrency resulting from theft, loss, or mishandling of Cryptocurrency from the wallet you have elected to use in any way whatsoever.
Every purchase and sale of Cryptocurrency is confirmed by the respective blockchain network of that Cryptocurrency. The confirmation takes a period of time (usually less than one hour, but possibly one day or more). You understand that an Order is not complete until it is confirmed. You also understand that the fee which is charged to you takes into account ‘gas’ fees which are generally necessary to ensure that a transaction is promptly recorded on a blockchain or distributed ledger. The amounts of these fees are subject to market forces, and it is possible that the fees could increase substantially during a period of stress.
Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible. Legend Trading cannot recover your Cryptocurrency in the event that we send Cryptocurrency to an address provided by you or registered to your account, where you later realize the address is incorrect or fraudulent and Legend Trading will not be liable to you for any losses resulting from these kinds of transactions.
Because Cryptocurrency generally cannot be recovered, you should be extra vigilant to protect yourself from fraud and cyber attacks. You are responsible for keeping your personal information secure and protecting your Legend Trading account from these types of attacks.
Legend does not provide investment, tax, or legal advice, and you are solely responsible for determining whether any investment, investment strategy or related transaction is appropriate for you based on your personal investment objectives, financial circumstances and risk tolerance. The information provided on the Legend Trading Site or any such third-party sites does not constitute investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice, and you should not treat any of the website’s content as such. Legend does not recommend that any Cryptocurrency should be bought, earned, sold, or held by you. Legend will not be held responsible for the decisions you make to buy, sell, or hold Cryptocurrency based on the information provided by Legend.
Legend Trading is not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and does not offer securities services in the United States or to U.S. persons.
Trading in Cryptocurrency may result in tax obligations to you. You are solely responsible for complying with your tax obligations.
Cryptocurrencies are generally not considered legal tender and are not protected by any government-backed deposit insurance or other types of protections. You acknowledge that your Cryptocurrency is not covered by insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation or any other government protections.
These Terms of Use apply to your access to and use of the Services which may include (i) buying and/or selling supported cryptocurrencies using the Legend Pay product available through designated third party virtual asset exchanges or platforms (a “Third Party Platform”), (ii) buying and/or selling supported cryptocurrencies using the Legend OTC product or (iii) using other features and products made available to you from time to time. You understand that these Services may be provided to you directly by Legend Trading or, where necessary, by certain authorized partners of Legend Trading.
