Client’s privacy is a fundamental concern of HolyTransaction.
HolyTransaction only shares Client’s information with third parties in accordance with Article 39 below or if HolyTransaction is required to do so by law enforcement, court order or in compliance with legal reporting obligations.
If a Client, a Client’s Transaction Request or a Transaction is flagged as suspicious through HolyTransaction’s internal controls, HolyTransaction will require additional proof of identification from the Client and has the right to decline any Transaction Request until additional and verifiable proof of identity is received and the compliance officer has approved the Client Transaction Request.

The Client accepts that he/she may not be able to achieve a desired level of verification, and HolyTransaction reserves the right to determine, at its sole discretion, the appropriate verification level for any Client, as well as the right to reduce Client’s access without prior notice.
HolyTransaction may, from time to time, implement policies restricting verification levels by nationality, country of residence, or any other factor.

Article 13. Confidentiality of the transmission of information over the Internet

The Client is aware and accepts the fact that any transmission of Data or information, including but not limited to, Transaction Request and communications by e-mail, performed on the Internet or other publicly accessible networks is not perfectly foolproof, and is subject to possible loss, interception, or alteration while in transit.

Article 15. Cryptocurrency Transactions Requests

All Transactions Requests must be confirmed and recorded by the Cryptocurrency Network, which is not owned, controlled or operated by HolyTransaction.
Although the Platform helps the Client to submit his/her Transaction Request for confirmation to the Cryptocurrency Network, the said Network, including all the operations and verifications operated on it in order to confirm and perform a Transaction is managed by a decentralized network of independent third parties.
HolyTransaction has neither control over the Cryptocurrency Network nor over the different operations and verifications operated on it.
Thus, HolyTransaction cannot and does not ensure that any Transaction Request submitted by the Client via the Platform will be confirmed and effectively performed by the Cryptocurrency Network.
The Client acknowledges and agrees that the Transaction Request he/she submits via the Services may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed by the Cryptocurrency Network.
When the Client submits a Transaction Request via the Platform, he/she authorizes HolyTransaction to submit his/her Transaction Request to the Cryptocurrency Network in accordance with the instructions, information and details he/she provides via the Platform.
As part of the Services, HolyTransaction can help its Client to submit his/her Transaction Request for confirmation to the Cryptocurrency Network and receive Cryptocurrency from Client’s Co-contractor pursuant to Client’s instructions provided.
The Client may initiate a Transaction by connecting on to the Platform, choosing to send and entering the requisite information regarding the sender or recipient and the amount of Cryptocurrency to be transferred.
HolyTransaction will submit each Client’s Transaction Request to the Cryptocurrency Network on his/her behalf, as necessary, to facilitate each Transaction in accordance with Client’s instructions and information.
Once submitted to the Cryptocurrency Network, a Transaction will be Pending for a period of time which may vary from a minimum of less than one (1) hour to a maximum of more than seventy-two (72) hours, depending on Cryptocurrency Network.
Any Pending Transaction is regarded as an incomplete Transaction by the Platform.
Therefore, any Funds associated with a Pending Transaction will be referred accordingly and will neither be included into the Client’s Account balance nor be available to perform any other Transaction Request.
HolyTransaction reserves the right to refuse to process, or to cancel any Transaction Request as required by law or in response to a subpoena, court order, or other binding government or administrative order.
The Client acknowledges that, pursuant to the present Article of the General Terms and Conditions, HolyTransaction cannot neither cancel, nor reverse a Transaction Request which has been communicated to the Cryptocurrency Network.
HolyTransaction has neither control over, nor liability for, the delivery, the quality, the safety, the legality or any other aspect of any goods or services that the Client may purchase or sell to or from a Co-contractor via a Transaction Request submitted to the Cryptocurrency Network.
HolyTransaction is not responsible for ensuring that a Client’s Co-contractor (i.e. a buyer or a seller) will actually complete the Transaction or is authorized to do so.
If the Client experiences a problem with any goods or services purchased from, or sold to, a Co-contractor in connection with Cryptocurrency transferred via the Platform, or if the Client has a dispute with such third party, the Client must handle it directly with that third party.
Any Cryptocurrency Transaction Request conducted via the Platform is irrevocable regardless of any defects in or non-delivery of any goods or services purchased in connection with such Transaction, or any other aspect of the Client’s Transaction or relationship with the concerned Co-contractor.
HolyTransaction submits Transaction Requests to the Cryptocurrency Network on the sole basis of Client’s instruction and his/her Transaction Request.
HolyTransaction does not guarantee the identity of any user, receiver, requestee, Client’s Co-contractor or other party.
Therefore, the Client must carefully check all instructions, information and details related to his/her Transaction Request prior submitting it to HolyTransaction.
The Client is aware of and acknowledges that a Transaction Request may neither be cancelled nor reversed once initiated on the Platform.
If the Client initiates a Transaction via the Platform by entering a Co-contractor Cryptocurrency address’, the Platform will confirm that the said Cryptocurrency’s address is valid or not.
Notwithstanding the aforesaid confirmation, HolyTransaction cannot confirm that the recipient’s Cryptocurrency’s address entered by the Client belongs to his/her intended Co-contractor.
The Client is aware of and acknowledges that the risk of loss in trading and/or holding Cryptocurrency can be substantial.
The Client therefore undertakes to carefully consider whether trading or holding Cryptocurrency is suitable for him/her in light of his/her financial condition.
In considering whether to trade or hold Cryptocurrency, the Client is aware that the price and the value of Cryptocurrency may change rapidly, either up or down, and potentially even fall to zero.

Article 16. No cancelations or modifications of a Transaction Request

Once a Transaction Request has been submitted to the Cryptocurrency Network via the Platform, the said Network will automatically complete or reject the Transaction Request and neither the Client nor HolyTransaction will be able to cancel or otherwise modify the Transaction Request.
HolyTransaction has no control over the Cryptocurrency Network and does not have the ability to facilitate any cancellation or modification requests.

If HolyTransaction suspects that a Cryptocurrency asset on the Platform has been compromised or is under attack, HolyTransaction may immediately cease trading, deposits, and withdrawals for such Cryptocurrency.
If it is determined that such an attack caused the Cryptocurrency a great decrease in value, HolyTransaction may entirely discontinue trade activity on such Cryptocurrency.
Resolutions concerning deposits, withdrawals, and user balances with respect to an attacked Cryptocurrency will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
HolyTransaction makes no representation and does not warrant the safety of the Platform and is not liable for any lost value or stolen property, whether or not HolyTransaction was negligent in providing the proper security.

HolyTransaction shall be entitled to act for its Client upon instructions given by or purporting to be given by him/her or any person authorized to act on his/her behalf without any further inquiry as to the genuineness, authority, or identity of the person giving or purporting to give such instructions, provided such instruction is accompanied by correct information about the Client’s Account.

HolyTransaction will deduct specified amount of Cryptocurrency that its Client sells from HolyTransaction.
In most cases Cryptocurrency Swap will be executed immediately.
