- In order to comply with global and local AML regulations and obligations and in accordance with the Know-Your-Customer and Anti-Money Laundering Policy, we must initiate and conduct a Know-Your-Customer process prior to the opening of a Venga Account. Before you are permitted to open a Venga Account and to use the Venga Services, you will need to go through our identity verification procedures which may include: ID document submission and identity verification through other methods, such as selfies and/or video recordings. You might be required to submit certain information about yourself and the purpose of your Venga Account.

3. Security of the Venga Account
- We are committed to maintaining the security of Users' funds and Digital Assets and have implemented security measures in connection with the provision of the Venga Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, several risks can derive from the actions of individual Users.
- In this regard, therefore, Users are and remain responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their Venga Account and password and responsible for all activities conducted by and through their Venga Account (including, but not limited to, disclosure of information, release of information, online clicking for consent or submission of various rule agreements, online renewal of agreements or purchase service, etc.). In line with the foregoing, Users agree to the following:
- To create a strong password, which shall be different from those you normally use, and maintain a high degree of control and security over your credentials.
- To ensure that the email address and telephone number being provided are correct at all times so that we can notify each User of any problems that may affect the security of their Venga Account. Additionally and accordingly, Users must ensure that they protect access to the aforementioned email address and telephone number.
- To immediately and with no delay notify us if a User becomes aware of any use of their Venga Account without authorization, of the reveal or disclosure of their password, or of any other circumstances that constitute a breach of security.
- To strictly abide by the security, certification, trade, deposition, withdrawal mechanism or process of the Venga Services.
- To ensure that you leave Venga following the correct steps at the end of each session. You understand that improper logging out may result in data losses, and while we will make our best efforts to cooperate with you in order to mitigate such losses, we cannot and will not be responsible for any loss arising from your failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.
- We will not assume any liability for any loss, damage, or consequence, financial or otherwise, caused by the authorised or unauthorised use of a User’s Venga Account and their Venga Account credentials.
4. Provision of Venga Services:
- Transactions
- For the provision of the Venga Services, and in order to transfer Digital Assets into your Venga Account, you may require a financial account or external wallet maintained outside of Venga. The external wallet is completely separate from our computer systems, and therefore we have no control or access to the Digital Assets included or custodied therein. Additionally, we are not responsible for the use, management, or security of any financial account. By using a financial account in connection with Venga Services, you represent and warrant that you are the beneficial owner of the financial account, you are in compliance with all terms and conditions applicable to the financial account, you have the authority to make deposits to the financial account and take withdrawals from the financial account, and you have provided complete and accurate information to us regarding the financial account.
- If you attempt to deposit any Digital Assets not supported in your Venga Account, you risk permanently losing such Digital Asset, and we will not be responsible for any resulting loss. In case you attempt to deposit Digital Assets that we do not support, we may charge you a fee to cover the costs and expenses associated with identifying and returning such Digital Asset.
- You acknowledge and agree that we do not have control over or provide any assurances regarding the duration required to complete a deposit or issuance. The timing is contingent upon the performance of the blockchain network, which is influenced by factors beyond our control. Additionally, third-party financial institutions or payment services may also affect transaction times. We reserve the right to reject any deposit or to impose limits on the magnitude of transactions at any time.
- We have implemented an internal process that allows the User to withdraw (request the full or partial return of) the Digital Assets on deposit by transferring them from their Venga Account to an external wallet.
- At most, you can withdraw the total amount of Digital Assets or redeem fiat balances in your Venga Account, less any fees associated with such withdrawal or redemption. You cannot make a withdrawal if the balance of Digital Assets or a redemption if the fiat balance in your Venga Account is less than any minimum balance requirements, any amounts needed to satisfy any of your open positions or any fees owed by you.
- We can, at any time, refuse any withdrawal or redemption or impose restrictions on the frequency and/or the amounts of withdrawals or redemptions you may initiate. Additionally, we may, at our discretion, decide to suspend your ability to perform withdrawals or redemptions if we deem it necessary and/or appropriate in light of the corresponding circumstances. We retain the right to suspend your ability to make withdrawals or redemptions entirely for an unspecified duration to ensure, at our sole discretion, compliance with these Terms and Conditions of Use or with any applicable legal, regulatory, or administrative requirements or directives.
- Custodial services
- In addition to the above, Venga also provides Users with custodial services for Digital Assets, thus addressed to custody your Digital Asset on deposits and balances.
- Users may only access the Digital Asset that we hold on behalf of the User according to the procedures defined herein and accepted by the User in these Terms and Conditions of Use. Only Users are authorized to initiate transfer operations. For clarity, we do not support any kind of privacy coins, including, but not limited to: Monero, Zcash, and Dash.
- We do not own or control the underlying software protocols governing the operation of the Digital Assets. The underlying protocols are generally open-source, and anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute them. We are not responsible for the operation of the underlying protocols and do not guarantee the functionality or security of network operations. In particular, the underlying protocols may be subject to sudden changes in operating rules (including blockchain forks, a term referring to the event by which an update of a blockchain protocol is accepted and implemented by only a portion of the community involved in managing, validating, and propagating that protocol). Such changes in operation may materially affect the availability, value, or functionality of the Digital Assets on deposit. The User agrees and acknowledges that we have no obligation to allow them to acquire, hold, or convert currencies from these forks, nor to allow them to use protocols derived from these forks.
- Your Venga Account is intended solely for the proper use of the Digital Assets covered by us. Under no circumstances should you attempt to use your Venga Account to store, send, request, or receive assets other than the Digital Assets we support. We assume no responsibility in connection with any attempt to use your Venga Account with unsupported or unlisted Digital Assets. The User acknowledges and agrees that we are not responsible for any unsupported or unlisted Digital Assets sent to their Venga Account. We may, at our sole discretion, cease accepting any specific Digital Assets. If the User does not sell or transfer that Digital Asset off Venga before we decide to stop supporting that Digital Asset, we may, at our discretion, remove that Digital Asset from your Venga Account.
- The Digital Assets supported on Venga exclude all other protocols and functionalities that complement or interact with the supported Digital Asset. This exclusion refers, among others, to sidechains or any other protocol, cryptocurrency, token, forked asset, or any other functionality, such as protocol governance or smart contract functionality, that may complement or interact with a supported Digital Asset. The User acknowledges and agrees that, except as provided in these Terms and Conditions of Use, additional protocols are excluded from the definition of supported Digital Assets and that we will not be responsible for any losses arising from their use or interaction with additional protocols, including through the use of the Venga Services.
- If Users deposit funds to the wrong address or make a mistake in selecting the network to transmit a Digital Asset, we shall not be liable for resulting losses.
- We do not own any deposited Digital Assets. We will not use the Digital Assets on our own behalf unless required by law or agreed upon with the User.
- Buying, Selling, and the Exchange of Digital Assets
- The Venga Services allow Users to buy and sell digital assets using the Euro currency and exchange Digital Assets for other Digital Assets.
- The buying, selling, and exchange of Digital Assets on Venga is provided through integration with third-party companies with whom Venga has a partnership (a "Partner") to allow for the provision of such services through Venga. These Partners are solely responsible for the provision of their services. We do not bear any risk associated with these services, including but not limited to the risk of service unavailability or malfunction. By using Venga, the User acknowledges and agrees that we are not liable for any issues arising from the use of Partner services.
- Once registration and the Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure have been successfully completed and validated by us prior to the opening of a Venga Account, the User may engage in Digital Assets-to-Digital Asset Exchanges in accordance with the provisions of these Terms and Conditions of Use. A suspended or blocked Venga Account cannot be used to access the Venga Services and, therefore, cannot be used to conduct any Exchanges involving Digital Assets or fiat currency.
- When submitting an order to use the Venga Services for buying, selling, or exchanging Digital Assets (an "Order"), the User will be redirected to the Partner’s platform, where the User will need to re-validate their identity, and once approved by the Partner, the User will be able to submit the Order to buy, sell, or exchange their Digital Assets. After completion of the Order, the User's Venga Account will be immediately updated to reflect the Order has been fully executed. To complete an Order, the User authorizes us and/or our Partners to temporarily control the Digital Assets involved in the transaction for the purposes of the same.
- When you submit an Order, you authorize us and/or our Partners to charge any applicable fees and taxes.
- When you submit an Exchange Order, a transaction fee will be applied to calculate the final price offered to the User for the exchange of Digital Assets. This fee includes all operational costs associated with executing the order.
- We cannot guarantee any order will trade at any particular exchange rate, and the exchange rates that may be used for your order may differ from rates provided by third parties. We aren’t responsible for matching any third-party rate or providing you with any particular rate.
- Orders initiated and confirmed through Venga cannot be canceled.
- If the User's Venga Account does not have sufficient Digital Assets or fiat balance to execute an Order, we may cancel the entire Order (the fees incurred from the transaction payable to us shall be deducted).
5. Fees
- The use of Venga is subject to the payment of the corresponding fees. Accordingly, to use your Venga Account and enjoy the Venga Services, you agree to fully and timely pay all applicable fees in connection with your use of the Venga Services, which will be communicated to you via the Venga Application and Platform or otherwise.
- When exchanging Digital Assets you acknowledge and agree that the Exchange will be processed through a Partner’s exchange service with additional fees therefore applicable to such Exchange, including fees for deposits, redemptions, and withdrawals. The applicable and corresponding fees could and will vary according to the Partner service, and they will be communicated to you in advance and, in any case, before processing with the designated Exchange. By confirming the transaction, you acknowledge your acceptance of the corresponding fees.
- You also agree to pay additional fees for the Venga Account maintenance in case of no activity after an established period of time. The period of inactivity and the amount of the fees will be promptly communicated to the User.
- We reserve the right to modify the applicable fees associated with the Venga Services. Any changes to these fees will be promptly communicated to the User.
6. Risks
- Using our Venga Services can carry, due to its nature, significant risks. Accordingly, we kindly remind you that you must fully understand and assess the risks comprised in digital asset trading before conducting any trade or transaction. In line with the above, we urge you to assess your risk tolerance capability very carefully before engaging in Digital Assets trading. The details of such risks are as follows:
- Policy risk: Users may encounter losses due to the amendments to national laws, regulations, or macro-policies which may influence the normal trade of Digital Assets.
- Compliance risk: Users may encounter losses if the User’s Digital Assets trade violates national laws or regulations.
- Investment yield risk: the Digital Assets market is unique: it never closes, with Digital Assets prices fluctuating in a wide range. Users may encounter losses in the market.

- Force majeure risk: When natural disaster, war, strikes, cyber-attacks and other unpredictable, unavoidable and unformidable situations occur, we may not be able to operate normally, and this may result in Users’ losses. For the user’s losses caused by force majeure, we will not assume any civil liabilities.
- Risk of delisting: When a Digital Asset project party faces bankrupt, liquidation and dissolution, or violates national laws & regulations, or under the request of the project party, we will delist the Digital Asset, which may cause losses for users.
- Technical risk: Although the chance of technical fault is remote during Digital Asset trade, but we cannot exclude such a possibility. If such an issue occurs, the user’s interests may be affected.
- Operation risk: Users may face risks due to operational error, such as transfers to wrong accounts, violations in operation regulations, etc.
- Account frozen risk: User’s account may be frozen or forcefully confiscated by judicial institutions in the event of debt fraud or alleged crimes.
- You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the decisions you make regarding the use of the Venga Services and their investment options, methods and the trades you unilaterally conduct. Your Venga Account is not classified as a deposit account or a bank account, and we do not operate as a bank or other depository institution. The Venga Services do not constitute depository or bank programs. Neither your Venga Account nor your Digital Assets are insured against losses.
- When using your Venga Account and the Venga Services, you acknowledge and agree to be fully aware of the risks associated with the Venga Services and Digital Assets, including the risks stated in this clause.

- We are not liable for Digital Asset price instability due to its high volatility.
- We will do our best to keep the Venga Services active and available at all times.

- We shall not be liable for access issues to Venga, regardless of the cause, including access problems caused by the User or a third party, necessary updates or maintenance, or force majeure.

These services are entirely managed and operated by our Partners. We are not responsible for any aspect of these services, including but not limited to their availability, functionality, or performance. By using Venga, the Users agree that any transactions conducted through our Partner's services are at their own risk and that we disclaim all liability associated with such transactions.
