Once established, you can access the Services through your User Account. Specifically, your User Account:

  • is linked to your Legal Tender Account and your Digital Currency Wallet (see clauses 3 and 4 below); and
  • contains a record of your Transactions.

We recommend that you only log into your User Account directly through the Bit Royal Site and only access the BitRoyal Exchange through the trading site. This will minimize the risk of you inadvertently exposing your User Account or BitRoyal Wallets to unauthorized access or attacks.

     2.3 Your promises in relation to your User Account

You promise:

  • to create a strong password for your User Account. This means you must select a password which is different from any other password you use for any other website or online service, and which cannot be easily guessed. You must change your password at regular intervals, and immediately if you suspect your password has been compromised;
  • to keep your User Account login and password and any forms of multi-factor authentication confidential and separate from each other, as well as separate from any other information or documents relating to your User Account or Bit Royal Wallets (and your private key(s));

  • not to leave your computer, phone or other devices unattended while you remain logged in to your User Account or your Bit RoyalWallets;

3. Your Legal Tender Account

     3.1 Purpose of your Legal Tender Account

You can use your Legal Tender Account to fund the purchase of Digital Currencies, and to receive the proceeds of a sale of your Digital Currencies, using the Services.

     3.2 Activating your Legal Tender Account

To activate your Legal Tender Account, you must:

  • link it to a registered bank account in your name; and
  • transfer funds from that bank account to the Bit Royal Custodial Bank Account which will then be reflected by an update to the balance of your Legal Tender Account.

     3.3 Currency

The only Legal Tender which can currently be held in your Legal Tender Account is South African Rand.

     3.4 Fees

Bit Royal will not charge any fees in relation to deposits into or withdrawals from the Bit Royal Custodial Bank Account.

     3.5 Operation of your Legal Tender Account

  • Bit Royal will maintain a separate bank account in the name of NZGT with ANZ (the Bit Royal Custodial Bank Account).
  • The funds you transfer to the Bit Royal Custodial Bank Account will be pooled with funds transferred into it by other Approved Users.
  • We undertake to you that the credit balance of the Bit Royal Custodial Bank Account will at all times be an amount equal to the aggregate value of the amount of Legal Tender transferred to and received in clear funds to that account by all Approved Users at that time, less the amount of any fees at that time.
  • You will have no right to earn interest on the amount of Legal Tender reflected in your Legal Tender Account. Bit Royal will retain the amount of any interest earned on the balance of the Bit Royal Custodial Bank Account to cover costs incurred in operating the account and providing the Services.
  • Once Bit Royal confirms receipt of Legal Tender from you in cleared funds into the Bit Royal Custodial Bank Account, the value of the transferred Legal Tender less any applicable fees will be credited to your Legal Tender Account as soon as is practicable.
  • Bit Royal will not use, nor permit the use, of any of the funds held in the Bit Royal Custodial Bank Account for any corporate purpose, nor charge or encumber it in any manner. We will require the account bank to waive its set-off rights in respect of the Bit Royal Custodial Bank Account.
  • Please note that Legal Tender held in the Bit Royal Custodial Bank Account is not money deposited with or lent to or owing by Bit Royal to you. Upon transferring any Legal Tender into the Bit Royal Custodial Bank Account, the legal rights to those funds will be vested in the account holder, as an account holder. You will have a beneficial right to funds in the Bit Royal Custodial Bank Account equal to the face value of the credit balance of your Legal Tender Account, less any fees you owe to Bit Royal. The funds in the Bit Royal Custodial Bank Account are owed to the account holder by the account bank.
  • When you authorize a withdrawal from your Legal Tender Account, Bit Royal will immediately debit your Legal Tender Account for the withdrawn amount. Funds will be received into your nominated bank account within three (3) business days, net of any applicable bank fees and Bit Royal fees.
  • We will send you an email confirmation of all deposits into or withdrawals from your Legal Tender Account.
  • Certain deposit or withdrawal requests may not be processed outside of normal banking hours. We will typically process deposits and withdrawals within one (1) business day.
  • You are not permitted to charge or to use your entitlement to funds in the Bit Royal Custodial Asset, or your rights to your Legal Tender Account, as security for any purpose.

     3.6 Your confirmations in relation to your Legal Tender Account

You confirm you understand that:

  • you alone are permitted to access your Legal Tender Account, and to transfer funds to it and to withdraw funds from it;
  • if you have initiated a Transaction which will involve the application of funds from your Legal Tender Account, those funds will be held and unavailable for other users from the time you initiate the Transaction until the time it has settled or been canceled; and
  • the credit balance of your Legal Tender Account is not guaranteed by Bit Royal nor any other person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any South African government-backed deposit insurance scheme or any bank or insurer).

     3.7 Deposit and withdrawal policies

  • i-Payments does not allow a withdrawal in the form of a refund (This means that any request for earnings to be withdrawn via the same credit card used to initially deposit the money is not allowed. This is in line with the policies implemented by our acquiring bank. Instead, we suggest you process withdrawals via bank transfers and/or other withdrawal methods except for i-Payments.)
  • i-Payments only allow a maximum of USD 5,000 per deposit/transaction.

4. Your Digital Currency Wallet

     4.1 Purpose of your Digital Currency Wallet

Your Digital Currency Wallet allows you to send supported Digital Currencies to, and to receive and store supported Digital Currencies from, third parties on your instructions, using the Services.

     4.2 Supported Digital Currencies

  • Bit Royal currently supports the list of Digital Currencies reflected on our exchange site, accessible here. However, the nature of the Digital Currencies that Bit Royal supports is subject to change, and could change without notice to you if this is required as a result of law, any order of a court or governmental agency, any change to the operating rules in the underlying Digital Currency ’s network, or any technological issue outside of our reasonable control.
  • Bit Royal supports only the “advanced protocols” reflected on our exchange site, accessible here. It does not support any other protocols such as meta coins, colored coins, side chains, or other derivatives, enhanced or forked protocols, tokens or coins which supplement or interact with a Digital Currency supported by Bit Royal.

     4.3 Fees

Bit Royal will charge the Transaction fees set out in the Fee Schedule, accessible here.

In addition, all Transactions need to be confirmed by ‘miners’ which group transactions into ‘blocks’ and add those blocks to the relevant network underlying the specific Digital Currency. When making a Digital Currency Deposit, you may need to pay the applicable ‘miner fee’ (i.e. network fee) to confirm the transaction on the network. To do this, you need to make sure your transaction includes a sufficient miner fee to be confirmed. Insufficient fees will delay the processing of a Transaction. Bit Royal may charge minor fees to process a Digital Currency withdrawal on your behalf. If we do so, Bit Royalwill calculates the minor fee in our discretion and notify you of the amount of the fee at or before the time you authorize the Transaction.

     4.4 Operation of your Digital Currency Wallet

  • We will send you an email confirmation of all transactions relating to your Digital Currency Wallet.
  • Bit Royal securely stores all Digital Currency private keys in our control in a combination of online and offline storage. As a result, it may be necessary for Bit Royal to retrieve certain information from offline storage in order to facilitate a Digital Currency Transaction in accordance with your instructions. This may delay the initiation or crediting of the relevant Digital Currency Transaction for up to 48 hours, or longer in some circumstances.

     4.5 Your confirmations in relation to your Digital Currency Wallet

You confirm that you understand and accept the following:

  • Bit Royal will process your Transactions in accordance with your instructions, and you should carefully verify all instructions before placing any Orders. If there is an error in those instructions, then that is your risk and Bit Royal does not accept any responsibility or liability.
  • When you transact with another Approved User through the Site (a Counterparty), there is a risk that the Counterparty may cancel the Transaction before the order is executed. You understand that Bit Royal cannot require a Counterparty to complete any Transaction and is not responsible for liable for any such Counterparty default. If you believe a Counterparty has behaved in a misleading or fraudulent manner, or otherwise in breach of these Terms and Conditions, please notify us immediately at support@bitroyalexchange.com so that we can determine what action, if any, to take.
  • Your Digital Currency Wallet is available only in connection with the Digital Currencies that Bit Royal supports at any time, in its discretion. As set out in clause 4.3 above, these supported Digital Currencies are subject to change. Bit Royal assumes no responsibility or liability for any attempt to use your Digital Currency Wallet for Digital Currencies that Bit Royal does not support at that time.
  • Bit Royal does not control or own any of the underlying networks or software protocols that govern the operation of the Digital Currencies supported by Bit Royal.
  • Bit Royal does not stand behind or underwrite any Transaction you enter into using the Bit Royal exchange.
  • A Digital Currency Withdrawal may be delayed as a result of Bit Royal retrieving information from offline storage.
  • Bit Royal has the right to refuse to process or to cancel any pending Order or Transaction at any time if it is required to do so at law or in response to a court or government order or to enforce transaction limits, or if any Suspension Event occurs.
  • Digital Currencies are a risky asset class and trading in Digital Currencies increases those risks. You confirm that you have read the Risks of Use set out here and agree to accept those risks.
  • The amount or value of the Digital Currencies in your Digital Currency Wallet is not guaranteed or underwritten by Bit Royal nor by any other person, and you could lose the Digital Currencies, or the value of the Digital Currencies, stored in your Digital Currency Wallet in a short period of time. In that case, you will have no recourse to Bit Royal or to any other person for your loss (including loss of profit), or any liability or inconvenience that results.

5. Bit Royal Ledger

Bit Royal maintains a private exchange ledger (the Bit Royal Ledger) to track each Approved User’s Legal Tender Account balance and the Digital Currencies reflected in his or her Digital Currency Wallet.

Entries in the Bit Royal Ledger are not recorded on a blockchain or otherwise published. Only transfers of Digital Currencies into, or transfers of Digital Currencies out of, your Digital Currency Wallet will be confirmed and visible on a blockchain.

6. Bit Royal Transactions

      6.1 Transaction Services

Bit Royal offers Approved Users the ability to enter into the following Transactions in accordance with these Terms and Conditions:

  • Buy Transactions
  • Sell Transactions; and
  • Exchange Transactions.

Bit Royal does not currently offer any margin trading, options trading, or shorting.

Bit Royal does not make any warranty or representation in relation to any Counterparty and cannot confirm that a Counterparty will perform its Transaction obligations.

     Please note: A Transaction is not complete while it is in a pending state. Funds associated with Transactions that are in a pending state will be designated as such and will not be available to conduct other Transactions (including withdrawals).

     6.2 Access to Transaction Services

We can impose any conditions or restrictions on your access to the Transaction Services at any time without prior notice. These may include limits on the number or value of Transactions.

     6.3 Transaction Limits

We may impose Transaction limits from time to time. In particular, we reserve the right to review any withdrawals and to request further information before releasing funds for regulatory and fraud prevention purposes.

     6.4 Cancellation of Transactions

You cannot revoke or cancel an Order once you have placed it. However, you can submit a request to cancel the Transaction to which that Order relates by clicking on the ‘Cancel Sells’ or ‘Cancel Buys’ or ‘Cancel All’ button (as appropriate) on the Bit Royal Exchange dashboard (a Cancellation Request).

The Cancellation Request will only be effective if you submit it before the Order is filled.

However, Bit Royal can unilaterally cancel any Transaction if:

  • it considers this necessary or prudent due to a suspicion that the Transaction involves money laundering, terrorist financing or another illegal activity;
  • it relates to a Prohibited Use; or
  • it is required to do so by court order or government agency.

     6.5 Transaction Records

Bit Royal maintains the records of these offers in our Order Book. When Bit Royal’s trading engine matches buy and sell offers in our order book, we record the trade on our      Bit Royal Ledger. This transfers ownership of the seller’s traded Digital Currencies to the relevant buyer.

7. Buy Transactions

     7.1 Nature of a Buy Transaction

     7.3 Buy Limits

You can enter a Stop Limit or an Order Limit for your Buy Transaction on the Bit Royal Exchange dashboard.

In placing any Buy Order or entering into any Buy Transaction, you confirm your understanding of, and your agreement to, the following:

  • It is your responsibility to confirm the Buy Transaction details are accurate, including the number of Digital Currencies you intend to buy, the amount of any fees, the gross purchase price for your Buy Order, and the amount and nature of the Digital Currencies to be transferred into your Digital Currency Wallet after completion

     8.2 Sell Transaction process

  • You can place an order to sell Digital Currency (a Sell Order) on the Bit Royal Exchange. By doing so, you authorize Bit Royal to initiate debits from your applicable Digital Currency Wallet and initiate a transfer to the applicable Bit Royal Wallet.
  • When you place a Sell Order, the full amount of Digital Currencies offered for sale are placed on hold in your Digital Currency Wallet. This means you cannot deal with those Digital Currencies for any other purpose until the Sell Transaction settles, expires or is canceled.

  • After you have placed your Sell Order, we will send you an email when it has completed, or if it has only been partially filled, as applicable.
