liability and the manner in which we may make changes to these Terms.
2.3 These Terms shall be read and interpreted in conjunction with the Privacy Notice and any other

acknowledges that they have read and understood the above mentioned terms in relation to
these Terms.
3. Services
3.1 YouHodler provides a Platform allowing Users to benefit from the following Services:
● Crypto Custody and Reward Services - allows the User(s) to store their Cryptocurrencies
on the blockchain in a segregated way in their individual wallets and to earn rewards in the
form of interest as set out in the Rewards Agreement;
● “Loan” - based on a purchase / repurchase model, clients can sell their cryptocurrencies for
an agreed price, the client is then able to re-purchase the cryptocurrencies within a particular
time frame agreed between the parties and for consideration as proposed by YouHodler;
● “MultiHODL” and “TurboCharge” - allows User to generate a chain of Loans to enter into
several, successive and independent Loans (based on a purchase/repurchase model);
● the “Dual” service - consists of a short-term crypto yield product that is generated from a
series of conversions.
3.2 Subject to the OAM registration, YouHodler offers the following services:
● Services for the use and exchange of cryptocurrencies and/or their conversion from or into legal
tender or digital representations of value, including those convertible into other cryptocurrencies;
● Any other service functional to the acquisition, trading or intermediation in the exchange of
cryptocurrencies (e.g. execution, reception, transmission of orders related to cryptocurrencies on
behalf of third parties, placement services of cryptocurrencies, advisory services on
cryptocurrencies);
3.3. In order for Clients to use the Services on their User Account, they will be required to provide a
Designated Payment Method. The User can only use the Bank Accounts opened and registered
under his/her own name. The Company reserves the right to suspend, freeze or cancel your User
Account if the name of the User Account and the name of the Bank Account do not correspond to
each other. To place a purchase order via card payment, you must provide to the Company or to
Third-Party Service Provider, the relevant permitted card details. In such a case, you
acknowledge that the transfer of fiat currency pursuant to a card payment shall be dependent on
the performance of such transfer by your bank (or where applicable, permitted institution). Upon
our Third-Party Service Provider confirming the receipt of the card payment, the Company will
instruct the transfer of Assets to your User’s Account. This transfer will be executed no later than
24 (twenty-four) hours as of receipt of the card payment. In the event of deposits surpassing the
established limits, and to ensure the security of your account and funds, as well as to account for
potential delays arising from technical issues, the processing time may be extended.
Nevertheless, the Company is committed to making every effort to process any deposit falling
within the scenarios described in the previous sentence within a maximum period of 72
(seventy-two) hours from the time of your request. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company only
permits the use of card payments strictly for the purposes of a purchase order (and not any other
Services). In the event that you have initiated multiple purchase orders by way of card payment
(utilizing your permitted card), each such purchase order shall be recorded and deemed as
separate and independent purchase orders (i.e. at no point of time will one purchase order made
via card payment be linked in whatsoever manner to a previous or subsequent purchase order),
regardless of the timeframe within such purchase orders are placed or fulfilled.
3.4. Only valid payment options specified by the Company may be used in order to benefit from the
Services available on the Platform. By transferring Fiat Currencies into User Account, Client
authorizes the Company to charge Client with any extra charges (if any) related to the Designated
Payment Method.
3.5. Security Tokens are expressly excluded and YouHodler may at its sole discretion accept
additional Fiat Currencies and Cryptocurrencies or refuse to accept the above-mentioned Fiat
Currencies and Cryptocurrencies, at any time and without having to provide any reasoning. Client
agrees that they will not hold the Company liable for any damages resulting from such a decision.

case, YouHodler shall bear absolutely no liability of whatever nature.

10.2 YouHodler recommends that each Client uses the two factor authentication identification in

11. Risks
11.1 As a Youhodler Client, and by using the Platform, you acknowledge, understand and accept the
following risks in connection with the complexities of Cryptocurrencies and DLT. Your acceptance
of these Terms expressly confirm your understanding of Cryptocurrencies and how they are
stored, carried out and transmitted.
11.2 The Client is warned that the value of Cryptocurrencies may be highly volatile. Such volatility
could be caused not only by the Company's operational performance or other events involving the
Company, its Users and/or competitors, but also by changes in general conditions in the
economy, the financial market or the fintech industry in particular. As a result of such fluctuations,
Clients should also be aware that the Cryptocurrencies and Fiat Currencies which they may
acquire from the Conversion Services may not retain the same market price or increase in market
price and important losses may be incurred.
11.3 If Client has any doubts, Client is advised to seek assistance from a financial adviser first.
Furthermore, aside from the below-mentioned risks, there may also be unpredictable risks.
Therefore, Client is advised to carefully consider and use clear judgment to assess their financial
position and the below-mentioned risks before making any decisions on buying and selling
Cryptocurrencies, any and all losses arising therefrom will be borne by Client and YouHodler shall
not be held liable in any manner whatsoever.
11.4 Clients should be aware that the Company cannot ensure that an active and liquid market for
Cryptocurrencies will remain in place and that the value for both Cryptocurrencies and Fiat
Currencies will not decline, thereby affecting your use of the Services.
11.5 The liquidity of the market and the Third-Party Service Providers used to finalize the Services will
depend upon the number of purchasers and sellers, the market for similar instruments, the
market capitulation of the Cryptocurrencies and the availability of the Fiat Currencies and other
factors beyond the Company's control.
11.6 The Company does not give any assurance (i) that an active and liquid market for the
Cryptocurrencies sold to the Company will continue after your use of the Services, or (ii) that the
market value of the Cryptocurrencies or Fiat Currencies will not decline below the market value
after your use of the Services.
11.7 The price of the Cryptocurrencies and Fiat Currencies displayed on the Platform will depend upon
several factors which are beyond the Company's control. These factors include, but are not
limited to: market expectation of Cryptocurrencies’ or Fiat Currencies’ performance or financial
condition; fluctuations in the financial positions or operating results; general market and economic
conditions; announcements by foundations or companies have launched the Cryptocurrencies,
their business, their customers and their suppliers and any other secondary markets. The
Company does not operate an order book and all valuations are based on market prices quoted
by other service providers.
11.8 Clients are aware that new developments in, and changes to recommendations by analysts
regarding the Cryptocurrencies and/or Fiat Currencies market may affect the price or market
value of Cryptocurrencies and/or Fiat Currencies.
11.9 The Fiat Currencies and the Cryptocurrencies made available on the Platform are all admitted to
trading on Exchanges which are operated by Third-Party Service Providers. YouHodler however
does not warrant that there will be enough Cryptocurrencies and Fiat Currencies available at the
Exchanges operated by Third-Party Service Providers. In certain circumstances, such as
instances of market volatility or where any Exchange has been suspended or otherwise
restricted, it could pose difficulties in being able to offer Services on the Platform.
11.10 Client should be aware of the risk using the Platform, taking into account that the Company may
be exposed to threats, system failures, security risks or hacks to the Platform, its software
(including its source code and object code), the Website, the User Accounts and/or the servers
which operate the Platform. Third-Party Service Providers are also susceptible to such threats
and system failures or hacks in relation to the technologies it uses.
11.11 The Client understands that Third-Party Service Providers are generally based on digital and
virtual systems, these are at risk from security breaches, hackers, malware and operational
glitches. Even though the Company takes various steps to preserve the security,
Cryptocurrencies which are held in wallets provided by the Company or by third-party exchanges
remain vulnerable to hacking or security breaches. In the event of unauthorized access to one or
more wallets (i.e. by stealing the private encryption key to the wallets), stolen Cryptocurrencies
could be transferred to another public address and the Client understands that Cryptocurrency
transactions are irreversible and accepts that this is a persistent risk.
11.12 Code cracking or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers, could
present a risk for all DLT based businesses/platforms. This could result in the theft, loss,
disappearance, destruction or devaluation of Cryptocurrencies. The source code and object code
underlying the Platform and the Cryptocurrency could be updated, amended, altered or modified
from time to time. There can be no guarantee that such update, amendment, alteration or
modification will not adversely affect the functionality of the Cryptocurrency. Client therefore
accepts that they shall not hold the Company liable for any hacks, decrypting, decoding or code
cracking which can result in the loss of Cryptocurrencies and/or Fiat Currencies.
11.13 The Company exercises its best efforts to have a secure Platform with adequate standards of
protection against malware, virus and hacks amongst other security hazards which can be
suffered by the Platform. Hackers or other groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with
wallets through sybil attacks, phishing, spoofing, smurfing, malware attacks or consensus-based
attacks. Client understands that the Company is not liable for any theft which may occur from any
hacks, identity thefts, malware or viruses.
11.14 The Company does not own or control the underlying software protocols which govern the
operation of Cryptocurrencies available for trading on the Platform. In general, the underlying
protocols are open source and anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute them. The Company
is not responsible for operation of the underlying protocols and makes no guarantee of their
functionality, security, or availability.
11.15 Since blockchain is an independent public peer-to peer network and is not controlled in any way
or manner, the Company is not responsible for any failure, mistake, error and/or breach which
shall occur in blockchain or in any other networks in which the Cryptocurrencies are being issued
and/or traded.
Legal Risks
11.16 Generally, the regulation related to the operation of the Platform, as well as the regulation of
Cryptocurrencies, is evolving rapidly. These foregoing regulations can also vary significantly
among international jurisdictions. Such regulations are therefore subject to significant uncertainty.
11.17 To the extent that a domestic government or quasi-governmental agency exerts regulatory
authority, Cryptocurrencies may be materially and adversely affected. Cryptocurrencies also face
an uncertain regulatory landscape in many jurisdictions. Various jurisdictions may, soon, adopt
laws, regulations or directives that affect Cryptocurrencies.
11.18 Such laws, regulations or directives may conflict with the Company’s current understanding of the
legal landscape or may directly and negatively impact the Services and the market value of the
Cryptocurrencies. The effect of any future regulatory change is impossible to predict, but such
change could be substantial and materially adverse to the development and growth of the
Company.
11.19 New or changing laws and regulations or interpretations of existing laws and regulations in
various jurisdictions may materially and adversely impact the value of the Cryptocurrency, the
liquidity of the Cryptocurrencies, the ability to access marketplaces or exchanges on which to
trade the Cryptocurrencies, and the structure, rights and transferability of Cryptocurrencies or
exchanges.
11.20 Third-Party Service Providers may have their own regulations to which they have to comply with
and which may be applicable to any Fiat Currencies and/or Cryptocurrencies which are available
on User Account. Client is therefore aware that there is a possibility that certain Fiat Currencies
and Cryptocurrencies might be refused by the Third-Party Service Providers.
Reputational Risks
11.21 Reputational risk is the potential that negative publicity regarding YouHodler practices, whether
true or not, would cause a decrease in the customer base, costly litigation, revenue reductions
and regulatory inquiries. This type of risk affects YouHodler’s ability to earn and establish further
client relationships or continue servicing existing relationships. In an effort to mitigate this risk,
YouHodler promotes an ethical culture in the organization as well as clear communication on the
values and mission of the company.
11.22 A reputational risk related to Cryptocurrencies due to the wrongful behavior of some actors in the
field may further have a negative impact on the value of Cryptocurrencies available on the
Platform.
Misrepresentation Risks
11.23 Cryptocurrencies which are launched on an Exchange are usually supported by a white paper,
depending on whether the Cryptocurrency is considered to be a Payment token, a Security token
or Utility token. The content of the white paper or the prospectus is the responsibility of the entity
or foundation which issues the Cryptocurrency.
11.24 The Company does not endorse nor assume any form of liability for information within the white
paper which explains the purposes, scope or intent of a Third-Party when launching a
Cryptocurrency. If the Cryptocurrency is available for Conversion on the Platform (which is not the
case for Security tokens), the User accepts and warrants that he/she will not hold the Company
liable for any misrepresentation of information or inaccuracies which are present in the white
paper of the said Cryptocurrency.
The Company warrants to the Client that each of the following statements is true, accurate, correct and
not misleading on the date of this Agreement:

your interaction with the Platform, the Services and/or any misleading information.
