PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY – IT CONSTITUTES A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND SAFE. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS AS IF IT HAS YOUR WET SIGNATURE. 

This Custodial Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of the date on which you signed up to use the Services through https://www.sfox.com/ and accepted this Agreement (the “Effective Date”) by and between SAFE Trust Company, a public trust company organized under the laws of the State of Wyoming (“SAFE”) and yourself as an individual or entity (“you” or the “Client”). This Agreement, along with the sFOX, Inc. Terms of Service (accepted by the Client upon registration with sFOX or by entering into this Agreement) govern the Client’s use of the Custodial Services (the “Services”) provided or made available by SAFE. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Terms of Service, the Terms of Service shall control except as set forth herein.

By signing up to use the Services sfox.com or any associated websites, APIs, or mobile applications (collectively, the “sFOX Site”) or by using the sFOX Site, you agree that you have read, understood, and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. If you do not agree to any part of the Agreement, you may not use the sFOX Site or the Services.

1. SERVICES.

a. Custodian.

SAFE through the “Services” enables Client to create one or more custody accounts (each a “Custodial Account”), controlled and secured by SAFE in accordance with this Agreement, to store and hold in custody and bailment pursuant to Wyo. Stat. § 34-29-104(d)(ii), certain supported digital currencies and digital tokens (“Digital Assets”) or, if applicable, certain fiat currencies such as US Dollars (“Fiat Currency”) of the Client. SAFE is a public trust company under Wyoming Statute §13 Chapter 5 and is authorized to act as custodian of Client’s Digital Assets on Client’s behalf pursuant to Wyo. Stat. § 34-29-104. SAFE serves as a custodian on Client’s behalf, and the Digital Assets in Client’s Custodial Account are considered assets that remain Client’s property at all time.

SAFE has no right, interest, or title in such Digital Assets. SAFE hereby represents that the Digital Assets and Fiat  are held in custody and are not depository liabilities or assets on the balance sheet of SAFE and while in custody, the Client shall remain the owner of such assets and SAFE shall, other than as set forth in this Agreement, the Terms of Service or pursuant to Clients Instructions, have no right to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose such assets. SAFE shall keep the Digital Assets at all times segregated from the asset’s of SAFE and shall keep control and possession over the Digital Assets.

SAFE will hold any Fiat Currency received by SAFE on behalf of Client, at SAFE’s discretion, in one or more omnibus bank accounts (“Omnibus Account”), at depository institutions (a “Bank”) or in money market accounts (“Money Market Account”). Each Omnibus Account shall be in the name of SAFE for the benefit of Clients. Each Omnibus Account constitutes a banking relationship between SAFE and Bank and shall not constitute a custodial relationship between SAFE and Bank and does not create or represent any relationship between Client and any Bank. Likewise, any Money Market Account shall be in the name of SAFE. Such Money Market Accounts constitute an investment account between SAFE and the asset management firm of such Money Market Account and do not create or represent any relationship between Client and any asset management firm.

SAFE shall, to the extent consistent with federal law and industry best practices, place the Client’s Digital Assets in an omnibus account where it commingles such Digital Assets with other Digital Assets of different SAFE clients who also have a custodial relationship with SAFE pursuant to the terms of Wyo. Stat. § 34-29-104(d)(ii). Proper accounting shall be in place to accurately allocate each Digital Asset to each client.

Client acknowledges and agrees that SAFE may hold some or any portion of Fiat Currency in accounts that may or may not receive interest or other earnings. Client hereby agrees that, absent written agreement between Client and SAFE, the amount of any such interest or earnings attributable to such Fiat Currency may be retained by SAFE as additional consideration for its services. In addition, SAFE may receive earnings or compensation for an Omnibus Account or Money Market Account either in the form of services provided at a reduced rate, the payment of any shareholder service fees, or similar compensation. Client agrees that, absent written agreement between Client and SAFE, the amount of any such interest or any such compensation shall be retained by SAFE and no portion of any such compensation shall be paid to or for Client.

b. Company Interface.

Services are provided through the SAFE or any associated websites or application programming interfaces (“APIs”) (collectively, the “Company Interface”). Client may elect to utilize the APIs either directly or indirectly within an independently developed application (“Developer Application”).

All API-based services are subject to usage limits. If Client exceeds a usage limit, SAFE may provide assistance to seek to reduce Client usage so that it conforms to that limit. If Client is unable or unwilling to abide by the usage limits, Client will order additional quantities of the applicable Services promptly upon request or pay SAFE’s invoices for excess usage.

c. Fees.

The fees associated with the Services shall be calculated and paid in accordance with Schedule A (“Fee Schedule”). SAFE reserves the right to revise its Fee Schedule at any time following the Initial Term, provided that SAFE will provide Client with at least 30 days’ advance notice of any such revision. Within such 30-day period, Client may terminate the Agreement in accordance with Section 3.a. of this Agreement and discontinue the Services hereunder at no additional charge to Client. 

d. No Investment Advice or Brokerage.

SAFE (nor its affiliates) does not provide investment, tax, or legal advice, nor does SAFE broker transactions on Client’s behalf. Client acknowledges that SAFE has not provided and will not provide any advice, guidance or recommendations to Client with regard to the suitability or value of any Digital Assets, and that SAFE has no liability regarding any selection of a Digital Asset that is held by Client through Client’s Custodial Account and the Services. All deposit and withdrawal transactions are executed based on Client’s instructions, and Client is solely responsible for determining whether any investment, investment strategy, or related transaction involving Digital Assets is appropriate for Client based on Client’s investment objectives, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance. Client should seek legal and professional tax advice regarding any transaction.

e. Acknowledgement of Risks.

Client acknowledges that Digital Assets are not covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation or any other governmental, quasi-governmental, regulatory or industry-backed insurance or protection program of any kind.

Client acknowledges that using Digital Assets and any related networks and protocols, involves significant risks and it is Client’s duty to understand all the risks involved with Digital Assets and any related protocols and networks. SAFE makes no representations or warranties regarding the value of Digital Assets or the security or performance of any related network or protocol.

2. CUSTODIAL ACCOUNTS.

a. Creation.

Client’s use of the Services requires Client to create a Custodial Account by providing SAFE with all information requested. SAFE may, in its sole discretion, refuse to permit Client to establish a Custodial Account, or limit Client’s number of Custodial Accounts.

b. General.

The Services permit Client to deposit supported Digital Assets from a public blockchain address Client controls to the Client’s Custodial Account, and to withdraw supported Digital Assets from Client’s Custodial Account to a public blockchain address specified by Client, in each case, pursuant to instructions Client provides through the Company Interface (each such transaction is a “Custody Transaction”).

SAFE reserves the right to refuse to process or to cancel any pending Custody Transaction: as required by Applicable Law; to enforce transaction, threshold, and condition limits; or if SAFE reasonably believes that the Custody Transaction may violate or facilitate the violation of any applicable law, regulation or rule of a governmental authority or self-regulatory organization. SAFE cannot reverse a Custody Transaction which has been broadcast to a Digital Asset network. As used in this Agreement, “Applicable Law” means any applicable statute, rule, regulation, regulatory guideline, order, law, ordinance or code; the common law and laws of equity; any binding court order, judgment or decree; any applicable industry code, rule, guideline, policy or standard enforceable by law, including the rules of a self-regulatory organization, and any official interpretations of any of the foregoing.

c. Custodial Instructions.

SAFE acts upon instructions (“Instructions”) given by Client or Client’s authorized representatives (“Authorized Person”) that are received and verified by SAFE in accordance with its procedures and this Agreement. Instructions shall continue in full force and effect until canceled or executed. If any Instructions are ambiguous or conflicting, SAFE shall refuse to execute such Instructions until any ambiguity or conflict has been resolved. SAFE may refuse to execute Instructions if in SAFE’s opinion such Instructions are outside the scope of its duties under this Agreement or are contrary to any Applicable Law. SAFE may rely in the performance of its duties under this Agreement and without liability on its part, upon any Instructions believed by it in good faith, in accordance with SAFE’s verification procedures, to be given by an Authorized Person and upon any notice, request, consent, certificate or other instrument believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to be signed or furnished by an Authorized Person. SAFE does not guarantee the identity of any user, receiver, requestee, or other party to a Custody Transaction. Client must verify all transaction information prior to submitting Instructions to SAFE. Client is responsible for losses and liabilities resulting from inaccurate Instructions (e.g., if Client provides the wrong destination blockchain address to SAFE for executing a withdrawal transaction). SAFE shall not engage in activity to use or exercise discretionary authority relating to the Digital Assets except based on Client’s Instruction

d. Digital Asset Deposits and Withdrawals.

Client is responsible for managing and keeping secure any and all information or devices associated with deposit and withdrawal verification procedures, including passphrases or other security or confirmation information. SAFE reserves the right to charge fees to process a Digital Asset transaction on Client’s behalf.

e. Digital Asset Timing.

Client may request to withdraw the Digital Assets from its Custodial Account at any time. As commercially reasonable, SAFE will attempt to (excluding weekends and federal holidays)withdraw Digital Assets from Client’s Custodial Account immediately upon submission of Client’s withdrawal to the applicable Digital Asset network. Client acknowledges and agrees that a Custody Transaction facilitated by SAFE may take up to 24 hours to process dependent on circumstances and an immediate withdrawal is not guaranteed . Such notice shall be initiated from Client’s Custodial Account. The time of such request shall be considered the time of transmission of such notice from Client’s Custodial Account.

SAFE reserves the right to take additional time beyond the 24hr period if such time is required to verify security processes for large or suspicious transactions. Any such processes will be executed reasonably and in accordance with SAFE documented protocols, as established from time to time at the sole discretion of SAFE.

SAFE makes no representations or warranties with respect to the availability and/or accessibility of the Digital Assets. SAFE will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Client initiated deposits are processed in a timely manner, but SAFE makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing of deposits which is dependent upon factors outside of SAFE’s control.

SAFE reserves the right to charge network fees to process a Digital Asset transaction on Client’s behalf. SAFE will calculate the applicable network fee, if any, in its discretion, although SAFE will always notify Client of the network fee at or before the time Client authorizes the withdrawal.

f. Fiat Currency Deposits and Withdrawals.

SAFE shall only accept, for the benefit of Client, Fiat Currency deposits from Client and not from third-parties. Fiat Currency deposits shall only be accepted from banks that have been approved through SAFE’s BSA/AML program and are in the name of an individual or an institution named on the Custodial Account. This prohibition may be modified by mutual written agreement of Client and SAFE in order to accommodate Client’s receipt of deposits from its customers and subscribers and may be subject to additional terms, conditions, and fees.

Fiat Currency withdrawals are only permitted to bank accounts that have been approved through SAFE’s BSA/AML program and are in the name of an individual or an institution named on the recipient’s account.

g. Wire Transfers.

SAFE accepts wire deposits and processes wire withdrawals only from or to Client Bank Accounts. Wire deposits sent before 3pm ET by domestic wire from a Client Bank Account will typically settle and be credited to Client’s Fiat Account on the same day or next business day. Wire withdrawals initiated before 3pm ET will typically be processed on the same day or next business day. Wire deposits may not be credited and wire withdrawals may not be processed outside of normal banking hours. Client agrees and understands that wire deposit settlement times and wire withdrawal transfer times are subject to bank holidays, the internal processes and jurisdictions of Client’s bank and the internal processes of SAFE’s bank.

h. Supported Digital Assets.

The Services are available only in connection with those Digital Assets that SAFE supports. The Digital Assets that SAFE supports may change from time to time and in SAFE’s sole discretion. Prior to initiating a deposit of Digital Assets to SAFE, Client must confirm that SAFE offers the Services for that specific Digital Asset. The list of supported Digital Assets is available at: https://www.sfox.com/cryptocurrency-markets/.

By initiating a deposit of Digital Assets to a Custodial Account, Client attests that Client has confirmed that the Digital Asset being transferred is supported by SAFE. Under no circumstances should Client attempt to use the Services to deposit or store any Digital Assets that are not supported by SAFE. Depositing or attempting to deposit Digital Assets that are not supported by SAFE will result in such Digital Asset being unretrievable by Client and SAFE. SAFE assumes no obligation or liability whatsoever regarding any unsupported Digital Asset sent or attempted to be sent to it, or regarding any attempt to use the Services for Digital Assets that SAFE does not support.

SAFE may from time to time and in its sole discretion determine types of Digital Assets that will be supported or cease to be supported by the Services. SAFE shall provide Client with 30 days’ prior written notice before ceasing to support a Digital Asset, unless SAFE is required to cease such support sooner to comply with Applicable Law (in which event SAFE will provide as much notice as is practicable under the circumstances).

i. Advanced Protocols.

Unless specifically announced on the SAFE website or through some other official public statement of SAFE, SAFE does not support metacoins, colored coins, side chains, or other derivative, enhanced, or forked protocols, tokens, or coins which supplement or interact with a Digital Asset supported by SAFE (collectively, “Advanced Protocols”). Client shall not use its Custodial Account to attempt to receive, request, send, store, or engage in any other type of transaction involving an Advanced Protocol. SAFE assumes absolutely no responsibility whatsoever in respect to Advanced Protocols.

j. Operation of Digital Asset Protocols.

SAFE does not own or control the underlying software protocols that govern the operation of Digital Assets supported on the SAFE platform. By using the Services, Client acknowledges and agrees that (i) SAFE is not responsible for operation of the underlying protocols and that SAFE makes no guarantee of their functionality, security, or availability; and (ii) the underlying protocols are subject to sudden changes in operating rules (a.k.a. “forks”), and (iii) that such forks may materially affect the value, function, and/or even the name of the Digital Assets that Client stores in Client’s Custodial Account. In the event of a fork, Client agrees that SAFE may temporarily suspend SAFE operations with respect to the affected Digital Assets (with or without advance notice to Client) and that SAFE may, in its sole discretion, decide whether or not to support (or cease supporting) either branch of the forked protocol entirely. Client acknowledges and agrees that SAFE assumes absolutely no liability whatsoever in respect of an unsupported branch of a forked protocol or its determination whether or not to support a forked protocol.

Client agrees that all “airdrops” (free distributions of certain Digital Assets) and forks will be handled by SAFE pursuant to its fork policy as set forth in the Terms of Use (the “Fork Policy”) https://www.sfox.com/terms/. Client acknowledges that SAFE is under no obligation to support any airdrops or forks, or handle them in any manner, except as detailed above and in the Fork Policy. Client further acknowledges that SAFE, at its sole discretion, may update the Fork Policy from time to time and post it on SAFE’s website or otherwise communicate to Client and Client agrees that Client is responsible for reviewing any such updates. SAFE is under no obligation to provide notification to Client of any modification to the Fork Policy.

k. Account Statements.

Client is solely responsible for notifying SAFE in writing if Client requires SAFE to send periodic statements of the Client’s account to customers or subscribers of the Client. If required, it is the Client’s sole responsibility to keep the list of customers or subscribers along with delivery addresses current to ensure SAFE can provide periodic statements. It is Client’s sole responsibility to make the determination if Client is required to provide statements to its customers or subscribers to comply with Applicable Law.

To value Digital Assets held in the Client’s account, the SAFE will electronically obtain USD equivalent prices from digital asset market data providers or other sources. SAFE cannot guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of prices received and the prices are not to be relied upon for any investment decisions for the Client’s account.

l. Independent Verification.

If Client is subject to Rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, SAFE shall, upon written request, provide Client authorized independent public accountant confirmation of or access to information sufficient to confirm (i) Client’s Digital Assets as of the date of an examination conducted pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2(a)(4), and (ii) Client’s Digital Assets are held either in a separate account under Client’s name or in accounts under Client’s name as agent or trustee for Client’s clients.

m. Third-Party Payments.

The Services are not intended to facilitate third-party payments of any kind. As such, SAFE has no control over, or liability for, the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services that Client may purchase or sell to or from a third party (including other users of Services) involving Digital Assets that Client intends to store, or have stored, in Client’s Custodial Account.

n. Support.

SAFE will: (i) provide reasonable technical support to Client, by email or telephone, during SAFE’s normal business hours (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST); (ii) respond to support requests in a timely manner, and (iii) resolve such issues by providing updates to Client.

o. Suspension, Termination, and Cancellation.

SAFE may suspend or restrict Client’s access to the Services and/or deactivate, terminate or cancel Client’s Custodial Account if:

  • SAFE is requested or required pursuant to applicable law, rule , regulation or other legal process, including the terms of a lawfully issued subpoena or other order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or another governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority
  • SAFE reasonably suspects Client of using Client’s Custodial Account in connection with:
  • Unlawful Activity: Activity that would violate, or assist in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, or regulation in the jurisdictions where SAFE conducts business, or that would involve proceeds of any unlawful activity; publish, distribute or disseminate any unlawful material or information.

  • Abuse of Other Users: Activity that interferes with another SAFE Client’s access to or use of any of the Services; defame, abuse, extort, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate or infringe the legal rights (such as, but not limited to, rights of privacy, publicity and intellectual property) of others; incite, threaten, facilitate, promote, or encourage hate, racial intolerance, or violent acts against others; harvest or otherwise collect information about others, including, without limitation, email addresses, without proper consent.
  • Fraud: Activity that operates to defraud SAFE or any other person; provide any false, inaccurate, or misleading information to SAFE.
  • Infringement of Intellectual Property. Activity involving items that infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, right of publicity or privacy or any other proprietary right under the law, including but not limited to sales, distribution, or access to counterfeit music, movies, software, or other licensed materials without the appropriate authorization from the rights holder; use of SAFE intellectual property, name, or logo, including use of SAFE trade or service marks, without express consent from SAFE or in a manner that otherwise harms SAFE or SAFE’s brand; any action that implies an untrue endorsement by or affiliation with SAFE.
  • SAFE perceives a risk of legal or regulatory non-compliance associated with Client’s Custodial Account activity;

  • Client breaches the terms of this Agreement; or
  • Client fails to pay fees for a period of 60 days.

If SAFE suspends or restricts Client’s access to the Services and/or deactivates, terminates or cancels Client’s Custodial Account for any reason, SAFE will provide Client with notice of SAFE’s actions unless prohibited by Applicable Law. Client acknowledges that SAFE’s decision to take certain actions, including limiting access to, suspending, or closing Client’s Custodial Account, may be based on confidential criteria that are essential to SAFE’s risk management and security protocols. Client agrees that SAFE is under no obligation to disclose the details of its risk management and security procedures to Client.

Client will be permitted to withdraw Digital Assets and Fiat Currency associated with Client’s Custodial Account for sixty (60) days after Custodial Account deactivation or cancellation unless such withdrawal is prohibited under Applicable Law (including but not limited to applicable sanctions programs or a facially valid subpoena, court order, or binding order of a government authority).

p. Clearing and Settlement Services.

SAFE may offer clearing and settlement services (the “Settlement Services”) that facilitate the settlement of transactions of Digital Assets or Fiat Currency between Client and Client’s trade counterparty that also has a Custodial Account with SAFE (“Settlement Partner”). Clients may utilize the Settlement Services by way of a number of options, including settlement of one-sided requests with counterparty affirmation; one-sided requests with instant settlement; and two-sided requests with reconciliation. Client understands that the Digital Assets available for use within the Settlement Services may not include all of Client’s Digital Assets under custody.

The Settlement Services allow Client to submit, through the SAFE’s settlement platform, a request to settle a purchase or sale of Digital Assets with a Settlement Partner. Client authorizes SAFE to accept Client’s cryptographic signature submitted by way of the Settlement Services API. When a cryptographic signature is received along with the settlement transaction details, Client is authorizing SAFE to act on Client’s direction to settle such transactions.

  • (i) A one-sided request with counterparty affirmation requires Client to submit a request, including its own cryptographic signature on the trade details, via API calls. SAFE will notify the Settlement Partner and lock funds of both parties while waiting for the Settlement Partner to affirm the request. SAFE will settle the trade immediately upon affirmation and the locked funds will be released.
  • (ii) A one-sided request with instant settlement requires one side of the trade to submit a request, including cryptographic signatures of both parties to the trade, via API calls. SAFE will settle the trade immediately.
  • (iii) A two-sided request with reconciliation requires that both Client and Settlement Partner submit requests via API calls, with each party providing their own cryptographic signatures. SAFE will reconcile the trades and settle immediately upon successful reconciliation.
  • (iv) In any one-sided or two-sided request, the Settlement Partner must be identified and selected by Client prior to submitting a settlement request.
  • (v) Client may submit a balance inquiry through the settlement platform, to verify that Settlement Partner has a sufficient balance of Digital Asset to be transacted before the Parties execute a transaction. This balance inquiry function is to be utilized only for the purpose of executing a trade transaction to ensure the Settlement Partner has sufficient fiat currency (funds) or Digital Assets to settle the transaction. Client hereby expressly authorizes and consents to SAFE providing access to such information to Client’s Settlement Partner in order to facilitate the settlement.
  • (vi) Client and Settlement Partner’s Custodial Accounts must have sufficient funds or Digital Assets prior to initiating any settlement request. The full amount of assets required to fulfill a transaction are locked until such order has been completed. All orders are binding on Client and Client’s Custodial Account. SAFE does not guarantee that any settlement will be completed by any Settlement Partner. Client may not be able to withdraw an offer (or withdraw its acceptance of an offer) prior to completion of a settlement and SAFE shall not be liable for the completion of any order after a cancellation request has been submitted.
  • (vii) Client acknowledges and accepts responsibility for ensuring only an appropriate Authorized Person of their Custodial Account has access to the API key(s).
  • (viii) Client further understands and agrees that Client is solely responsible for any decision to enter into a settlement by way of the Settlement Services, including the evaluation of any and all risks related to any such transaction and has not relied on any statement or other representation of SAFE. Client understands that SAFE is a facilitator and not a counterparty to any settlement; and, as a facilitator, SAFE bears no liability with respect to any transaction and does not assume any clearing risk.
  • (ix) Any notifications that Client may receive from the trading platform regarding trades are Client’s responsibility to review in a timely manner.

Upon execution of the settlement, the Settlement Services shall provide Client, by electronic means, a summary of the terms of the transaction, including: the type of Digital Asset purchased or sold; the delivery time; and the purchase or sale price. Settlement of a transaction is completed in an off-chain trading account by way of offsetting journal transactions within SAFE’s Digital Asset Off-chain Settlement System. On-chain synchronization occurs at the time the withdrawal from Client’s trading account takes place (other than through a subsequent Settlement Services transaction). 

SAFE reserves the right to refuse to settle any transaction, or any portion of any transaction, for any reason, at its sole discretion. SAFE bears no responsibility if any such order was placed or active during any time the Settlement Services system is unavailable or encounters an error; or, if any such order triggers certain regulatory controls.

Client understands and agrees that SAFE may charge additional fees for the Settlement Services furnished to Client as indicated in the Fee Schedule attached as Schedule A and any amendments to Schedule A.

Clearing and settlement transactions shall be subject to all applicable laws and the rules and regulations of all federal, state and self-regulatory agencies.

3. USE OF SERVICES.

a. Company Interface and Content.

SAFE hereby grants Client a limited, nonexclusive, non transferable, revocable, royalty-free license, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to access and use the Company Interface and related content, materials, information (collectively, the “Content”) solely for approved purposes as permitted by SAFE from time to time. Any other use of the Company Interface or Content is expressly prohibited and all other right, title, and interest in the Company Interface or Content is exclusively the property of SAFE and its licensors. Client shall not copy, transmit, distribute, sell, license, reverse engineer, modify, publish, or participate in the transfer or sale of, create derivative works from, or in any other way exploit any of the Content, in whole or in part.

b. Accuracy.

Although SAFE intends to provide accurate and timely information on the Company Interface, the Company Interface (including, without limitation, the Content, but excluding any portions thereof that are specifically referenced in this Agreement) may not always be entirely accurate, complete, or current and may also include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. In an effort to continue to provide Client with as complete and accurate information as possible, such information may be changed or updated from time to time without notice, including without limitation information regarding SAFE policies, products and services. Accordingly, Client should verify all information before relying on it, and all decisions based on information contained on the Company Interface are Client’s sole responsibility and SAFE shall have no liability for such decisions.

c. Third-Party or Non-Permissioned Use.

Except for fund administrators, Client shall not grant permission to a third party or non-permissioned user to access or connect to Client’s Custodial Account, either through the third party’s product or service or through the Company Interface. Client acknowledges that granting permission to a third party or non-permissioned user to take specific actions on Client’s behalf does not relieve Client of any of Client’s responsibilities under this Agreement and may violate the terms of this Agreement. Client is fully responsible for all acts or omissions of any third party or non-permissioned user with access to Client’s Custodial Account. Further, Client acknowledges and agrees that Client will not hold SAFE responsible for, and will indemnify and hold SAFE harmless from, any liability arising out of or related to any act or omission of any third party or non-permissioned user with access to Client’s Custodial Account. Client must notify SAFE immediately if a third party or non-permissioned user accesses or connects to Client’s Custodial Account by contacting Client’s Custodial Account representative or by emailing custody@sfox.com from the email address associated with Client’s Custodial Account.

e. Security; Client Responsibilities.

Client is responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of any and all Client Keys, IDs, passwords, hints, personal identification numbers (PINs), non-custodial wallet keys, API keys, yubikeys, 2-factor authentication devices or backups, or any other codes that Client uses to access the Services. Any loss or compromise of the foregoing information and/or Client’s personal information may result in unauthorized access to Client’s Custodial Account by third-parties and the loss or theft of Digital Assets or Fiat Currency. Client is responsible for keeping Client’s email address and telephone number up to date in Client’s profile in order to receive any notices or alerts that SAFE may send Client. SAFE assumes no responsibility for any loss that Client may sustain due to compromise of login credentials due to no fault of SAFE and/or failure to follow or act on any notices or alerts that SAFE may send to Client. In the event Client believes Client’s Custodial Account information has been compromised, Client will contact SAFE Support immediately at custody@sfox.com. 

Client must maintain an updated and current list of Authorized Persons at all times and must immediately notify SAFE of any changes to the list of Authorized Persons, including for termination of employment, or otherwise. Client agrees that SAFE may rely on the list of Authorized Persons. Client shall make available all necessary documentation and Know Your Customer identification, as reasonably requested by SAFE to verify: (i) the identity of each Authorized Person; (ii) that each Authorized Person is eligible to be deemed an “Authorized Person” as defined in this Agreement; and (iii) the party(ies) requesting the changes in the list of Authorized Persons have valid authority to request changes on behalf of Client. Client will ensure that all Authorized Persons will be adequately trained to safely and securely access the Trust Services, including understanding of general security principles regarding passwords and physical security of computers, keys, and personnel.

Client will immediately notify SAFE of any unauthorized access, use or disclosure of Client’s Account credentials, or any relevant breach or suspected breach of security (including breach of Client’s systems, networks or Developer Applications). Client will provide SAFE with all relevant information SAFE reasonably requests to assess the security of the assets and Custodial Accounts.

f. Taxes.

Client is solely responsible to determine whether, and to what extent, any taxes apply to any deposits or withdrawals Client conducts through the Services, and to withhold, collect, report and remit the correct amount of taxes to the appropriate tax authorities.
