Virtual Asset Trading Rules
8.1 Trading Process
When you initiate a Transaction on our Platform, the following process applies:
- Order Submission: You submit an order specifying the Virtual Asset, quantity, price (for limit orders), and direction (buy, sell, or exchange).
- Order Matching: Our matching engine processes your order against available counterparties or liquidity providers.
- Execution: Once matched, the Transaction is executed and recorded on our Platform.
- Settlement: Virtual Assets are transferred between accounts, and applicable fees are deducted.
- Confirmation: You receive a confirmation of the completed Transaction.
8.2 Order Types
We may offer the following order types, subject to availability on our Platform:
- Market Order: An order to buy or sell Virtual Assets at the best available price.
- Limit Order: An order to buy or sell Virtual Assets at a specified price or better.
- Stop Order: An order that becomes a market order when a specified price level is reached.
- Other Order Types: Any additional order types we may introduce from time to time.
8.3 Transaction Finality
Once a Transaction is executed on our Platform, it is final and irrevocable. You cannot cancel, modify, or reverse a Transaction after it has been executed. This is particularly important for Transactions involving Blockchain transfers, as Blockchain records are immutable and cannot be changed or deleted.
WARNING: Virtual Asset Transactions, especially those involving Blockchain transfers, are irreversible. If you send Virtual Assets to the wrong wallet address, or if you provide incorrect transaction instructions, you may permanently lose your Virtual Assets. Always double-check wallet addresses and transaction details before confirming.
8.4 Transaction Limits
We may impose minimum and maximum Transaction limits, daily/monthly limits, and other restrictions on Transactions. These limits may vary based on your Account type, verification level, jurisdiction, and risk assessment. We may modify these limits at any time with or without notice.
8.5 Abnormal Market Conditions
During periods of extreme market volatility, system disruption, or other abnormal conditions, we may:
- Suspend or restrict trading in specific Virtual Assets;
- Widen spreads or adjust pricing;
- Cancel or modify pending orders;
- Temporarily halt all trading activities.
We will not be liable for any losses resulting from such actions.
8.6 Error Resolution
If an error occurs in the execution of a Transaction (e.g., incorrect pricing, duplicate execution, or system malfunction), we reserve the right to:
- Correct the error by adjusting your Account balance;
- Cancel or reverse the affected Transaction;
- Take any other action we deem appropriate to rectify the error.
You must report any suspected errors to us immediately upon discovery. Failure to report an error within 48 hours may affect our ability to resolve it.
Virtual Asset Custody, Storage, and Transfer
9.1 Custody Model
We provide technical support services for the custody, storage, and transfer of your Virtual Assets through a combination of hot wallets and cold wallets:
- Hot Wallets: Connected to the internet and used for operational liquidity, enabling fast processing of Transactions. Only a limited portion of Virtual Assets is held in hot wallets at any time.
- Cold Wallets: Offline storage systems used for the majority of Virtual Assets, providing enhanced security against cyberattacks. Cold wallets are not directly connected to the internet and require multi-signature authorization for any transfer.
9.2 Your Wallet
When you create an Account, we assign you a designated Virtual Asset wallet address (or addresses) for each supported Virtual Asset. This wallet is managed by us on your behalf for the purpose of providing custody and transfer technical support services. You may also transfer Virtual Assets to and from external wallet addresses that you control.
9.3 Transfers
You may initiate transfers of Virtual Assets:
- Internal Transfers: Transfers to other VitaPay Accounts, using a VitaPay Wallet address, typically processed instantly.
- External Transfers (Withdrawals): Transfers to external wallet addresses, subject to security checks, network confirmations, and applicable fees.
- Deposits: Transfers from external wallet addresses to your VitaPay Account, subject to network confirmations.
9.4 Security Measures
We implement the following security measures for custody and transfer operations:
- Multi-signature authorization for cold wallet transactions;
- Multi-factor authentication for withdrawal requests;
- Whitelisting of withdrawal addresses (optional, user-configurable);
- Time-lock mechanisms for large withdrawals;
- AES-256 encryption for data at rest and TLS/HTTPS for data in transit;
- Real-time monitoring for suspicious activity;
- Regular security audits and penetration testing.
9.5 Risk Allocation
While we implement robust security measures, you acknowledge that:
- Virtual Asset custody involves inherent risks, including but not limited to cyberattacks, technical failures, and human error;
- Blockchain Transactions are immutable and cannot be reversed;
- We are not responsible for losses resulting from your failure to maintain the security of your Account credentials;
- We are not responsible for losses resulting from Transactions you authorize, even if such Transactions were based on incorrect information;
- We are not responsible for losses resulting from events beyond our reasonable control, including Blockchain network failures, forks, or congestion.
