4. RISK DISCLOSURES; ASSUMPTION OF RISKS; RELEASE OF BITTREX GLOBAL

Trading Tokens, and use of other Services provided by Bittrex Global, involves significant risks and potential for financial losses, including without limitation the following:

The features, functions, characteristics, operation, use and other properties of any Token (“Token Properties”) and the software, networks, protocols, systems, and other technology (including, if applicable, any blockchain) (“Underlying Technology”) used to administer, create, issue, transfer, cancel, use or transact in any Token may be complex, technical or difficult to understand or evaluate.
Any Token and its Underlying Technology may be vulnerable to attacks on the security, integrity or operation of the Token or its Underlying Technology (“Attacks”), including Attacks using computing power sufficient to overwhelm the normal operation of a blockchain or other Underlying Technology.
Any Token, Token Properties or Underlying Technology may change or otherwise cease to operate as expected due to a change made to the Underlying Technology, a change made using features or functions built into the Underlying Technology or a change resulting from an Attack. These changes may include, without limitation, a “fork” or “rollback” of a Token or blockchain.
Any Token may potentially be cancelled, lost or double spent, or otherwise lose all or most of their value, due to forks, rollbacks, Attacks, changes to Token Properties or failure of the Token to operate as intended.
Bittrex Global may suspend or cease to support the transfer, storage or trading of any Token at any time at Bittrex Global’s Other exchanges and service providers may do the same.
Bittrex Global may not support so-called metacoins, colored coins or other Tokens, or their related side chains or other Underlying Technology that are based on a fork, enhancement, or derivative of a different Token or Underlying Technology (“Derivative Protocols”) even if the Derivative Protocol is based on a Token that is supported by Bittrex Global. Other exchanges or service providers may do the same.
Bittrex Global may suspend or reject your transaction requests, suspend or cease support for Tokens, or suspend or terminate your access to the Services to comply with applicable laws or regulations or an order from law enforcement or other governmental authority, for other reasons as specified in these Terms or otherwise at Bittrex Global’s
You may be unable to withdraw Tokens prior to Bittrex Global ceasing to support transfer of any such Tokens, resulting in the loss of any such Tokens remaining in your Bittrex Global
Since Tokens or crypto currencies to be traded on Bittrex Global are not regulated by financial market regulators, they are subject to extremely high volatility. Their value is determined solely by supply and demand on the market and can fluctuate accordingly. Any Token may, therefore, loose all of its value.
Any Token may decrease in value or lose all of its value due to various factors including discovery of wrongful conduct, market manipulation, changes to Token Properties or perceived value of Token Properties, Attacks, suspension or cessation of support for a Token by Bittrex Global or other exchanges or service providers, and other factors outside the control of Bittrex Global.
Any Token may decrease in value or lose all of its value due to legislative or regulatory activity, or other government action. Government regulation of Tokens is unsettled and rapidly evolving.
Any Token may be lost if sent to the wrong address (for example, but without limitation, if the address is improperly formatted, contains errors, or is intended to be used for a different type of Token). For more detail about sending Tokens to an address intended for a different type of Token, please see the FAQ posted here.
Any Token may be lost if sent to a correct address, but the recipient does not act as intended (e.g. a scam platform). You acknowledge that Bittrex has no possibility to charge back the Token and any transfer of Token to whichever recipient is your sole responsibility.
You may be prevented from sending a transaction request, or your transaction request or email may not be received by Bittrex Global or the Services, due to hardware, software or services issues (including, without limitation, Internet and other network connectivity issues).
Your transaction request or email to Bittrex Global or the Services may be lost, intercepted or altered during transmission.
Unauthorized third parties may access or use your Bittrex Global Account and effect transactions without your knowledge or authorization, whether by obtaining the password to your Bittrex Global Account, obtaining control over another device or account used by you in connection with any enhanced security measures enabled for your account, or by other methods.
In case of an irregular custody of Tokens, you do not have a claim in rem to the Token. You transfer your right of disposal of this Tokens to Bittrex Global. Such tokens are in the inventory of Bittrex Global then, and Bittrex Global can freely dispose of them. You only have a contractual right to receive the same number of Tokens of the same quality and grade. Therefore, there is a risk in case of bankruptcy of Bittrex Global you do not have a claim for separation or segregation of your Token, but only a contractual claim, which you must register in an bankruptcy proceeding and will probably receive only a fraction of the value of your Token.

The risks described in this Section 4 may result in loss of Tokens, decrease in or loss of all value for Tokens, inability to access or transfer Tokens, inability to trade Tokens, inability to receive financial benefits available to other Token holders, and other financial losses to you. You hereby acknowledge that these risks fall outside the sphere which may be influenced by actions of Bittrex Global. Therefore, Bittrex Global will have no responsibility or liability for, any such risks.

You represent and warrant that you have: (a) the necessary technical expertise and ability to review and evaluate the security, integrity and operation of any Tokens that you decide to acquire or trade; and (b) the knowledge, experience, understanding, professional advice and information to make your own evaluation of the merits and risks of any Token or trade. You accept the risk of trading Tokens by using the Services, and are responsible for conducting your own independent analysis of the risks specific to the Tokens and the Services. You should not acquire or trade any Tokens unless you have sufficient financial resources and can afford to lose all value of the Tokens.

Bittrex Global’s decision to support the transfer, storage or trading of any particular Token through the Services does not indicate Bittrex Global’s approval or disapproval of the Token or the integrity, security or operation of the Token or its Underlying Technology. The risks associated with Tokens and trading Tokens apply notwithstanding Bittrex Global’s decision to support a particular Token. Bittrex Global does not provide trading advice, does not have any fiduciary duty to you or any other user and does not make any warranty about the suitability of any Token for trading or ownership by you.

5. PRIVACY POLICY

Please refer to the downloadable and printable privacy policies accessible under /hc/en-us/articles/360009686879 of Bittrex Global for information about how Bittrex Global collects, uses, and shares your information.

6. ACCOUNT FUNDING; TRANSFERS

6.1. Initial Account Funding

In order to engage in a Trade (as defined below) you must first (after the completion of the onboarding process according to Section 3 above) fund your Bittrex Global Account either by transferring Tokens that are supported by the Services to your Bittrex Global Account or by funding your account with Fiat by purchasing a Bittrex Token (see Section 7.7. below).

The Services associated with your Bittrex Global Account include a wallet service provided by Bittrex (“Hosted Wallet”). The Hosted Wallet will permit you to generate one or more addresses to which Tokens may be transferred from an account, wallet or address not hosted or controlled by Bittrex (“External Account”). Bittrex Global may require that you verify your control over an External Account or satisfy other verification or screening requirements prior to enabling transfers between the applicable External Account and your Hosted Wallet (any such External Account, an “Approved External Account”).

Bittrex offers two options of the Hosted Wallet, the irregular custody (standard option) and the regular custody (you have to specifically agree this option with Bittrex).

Irregular Custody

In case of an irregular custody, you transfer the right and power of disposal (ownership) of the Token to Bittrex. Bittrex becomes, therefore, legally the owner of the Token and issues a contractual claim for the Token transferred to Bittrex to you. This claim will be displayed in your Bittrex Global Account.

For clarification, it has to be noted that Bittrex is obliged to release / issue the Token to you upon your request. However, as you do not have a claim in rem for a specific Token, Bittrex may issue any Token of the same quantity and quality to you (e.g. if you have transferred 1 BTC to Bittrex, you have a contractual claim against Bittrex for 1 BTC (and not the specific 1 BTC you transferred)).

Regular Custody

In case of a regular custody, you transfer the Token, but not the right of disposal (ownership) of the Token to Bittrex. Bittrex becomes, therefore, legally not the owner, but a custodian of the Token. You have a claim in rem for this specific Token ((e.g. if you have transferred 1 BTC to Bittrex, you have a claim in rem against Bittrex for this specific 1 BTC in your Hosted Wallet (and not any other BTC of the same quality and quantity)).

6.2. Token Deposits

You may periodically at your discretion transfer from an Approved External Account to your Hosted Wallet any Tokens that are supported for transfer and storage using the Services. If you transfer to your Hosted Wallet any Tokens that are not supported by the Services, such Tokens may be permanently lost. You will not be entitled to receive any interest or other fees on any Tokens held in your Hosted Wallet (neither in case of irregular nor regular custody), even if Bittrex Global receives interest or other fees from any third parties.

6.3. Token Withdrawals

You are required to retain in your Hosted Wallet a sufficient quantity of necessary to satisfy any open orders (and applicable Bittrex Global fees). In addition, there may be limits on the amounts that you are able to withdraw on a daily or other periodic basis. Otherwise, you may periodically at your discretion withdraw Tokens by transferring Tokens from your Hosted Wallet to an address not hosted or controlled by Bittrex Global (“External Address”). Bittrex Global may in its own discretion require you to verify any External Address to which you seek to transfer Tokens. You hereby authorize Bittrex Global to use your Hosted Wallet to send to any External Address specified by you using the Services, the number of Tokens specified by you using the Services. Bittrex Global is not able to reverse any transfers and will not have any responsibility or liability if you have instructed Bittrex Global to send Tokens to an address that is incorrect, improperly formatted, erroneous, intended for a different type of Token or the recipient of the Token (owner of that address) does not act as intended (e.g. a scam platform).

6.4. Other Terms Applicable to Transfers

You will be responsible for: (a) paying all fees charged by any third party service provider associated with any External Account or External Address as well as for paying any fees charged by Bittrex Global for any transfers; (b) ensuring that any inbound and outbound transfers are handled in compliance with Bittrex Global requirements, third party service provider requirements or Token requirements; (c) ensuring that the address to which any Tokens are to be transferred is properly formatted and suitable for the type of Token being transferred; and (d) ensuring that there are no errors in any of the transfer instructions you provide using the Services. In the event you fail to comply with any requirements of this Section 6.4, the transferred Tokens may be permanently lost. The timing for completing any transfer will depend on third party actions that are outside the control of Bittrex Global and Bittrex Global makes no guarantee regarding the amount of time it may take to complete any transfer. Bittrex Global may impose limits on the amount of any inbound or outbound transfers, or suspend or terminate the ability to transfer Tokens into or out of your Hosted Wallet in order to comply with applicable laws or regulations, an order from law enforcement or other governmental authority, or otherwise at Bittrex Global’s discretion for security or other appropriate reasons.

7. EXCHANGE ORDERS AND TRADES

7.1. Orders; Fees

A “Trade” is an exchange of Tokens for which trading is supported on the Services. Depending on the option of the Hosted Wallet (irregular or regular custody) Trades are executed either against the account of Bittrex Global as a counterparty or against another User of the Services of Bittrex Global (see Section 7.4 below).

An “Order” is created when you enter an instruction to effect a Trade using the Services. When you enter an Order you authorize Bittrex Global to execute a Trade on a spot basis for all or a portion of the number of Tokens specified in your Order in accordance with such Order. You agree to pay Bittrex Global any applicable fees for Trades and authorize Bittrex Global to deduct any such fees from your Hosted Wallet.

7.2. No Broker or Fiduciary Relationship

Bittrex Global is not your broker, intermediary, agent, or advisor and has in case of regular custody no fiduciary relationship or obligation to you in connection with any Trades or other decisions or activities effected by you using the Services. No communication or information provided to you by Bittrex Global is intended as, or shall be considered or construed as, advice. Please refer to Section 4 for a summary of some of the risks you should consider when choosing whether to use our Services.

7.3. Order Confirmation

Before an Order is placed, the Services will generate and display a confirmation dialogue box summarizing the details of the proposed transaction, including type and amount of Tokens you are seeking to dispose of, the type and amount of Tokens that you are willing to accept in exchange for other Tokens or Tokens you are seeking to dispose of, Bittrex Global’s estimated fees if the entire Order were to be executed, and the total number and type of Tokens that will be transferred out of your Hosted Wallet if the entire Order were to be executed. Your Order will be placed upon confirmation of the Order summary via the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that the failure of the Services to provide such Order summary or confirmation shall not prejudice or invalidate any Order submitted by you or any Trade completed based on such Order.

7.4. Order Matching and Trade Execution

Upon placement of an Order, your Bittrex Global Account will be updated to reflect the open Order and your Order will be included in Bittrex Global’s order book for matching with corresponding Orders. If all or a portion of your Order is matched with another Order, the Services will execute a Trade. Upon execution of a Trade, your Bittrex Global Account will be updated to reflect that the Order has either been closed due to having been fully executed, or updated to reflect any partial fulfillment of the Order. Orders will remain open until fully executed or cancelled in accordance with Section 7.5 below..

Trades are executed either against the account of Bittrex Global as a counterparty (by a Novation of the Claim) or against another User of the Services of Bittrex Global (by Matched Trading). There are essentially two ways, how a trade is finalized and settled:

a) Novation of the Claim

In case of irregular custody, you have a contractual claim for the Token you have transferred to Bittrex or exchanged on the Platform (e.g. 1 BTC). In order to affect a trade, the follow steps will be facilitated: (i) you place an order according to Section 7.1. above; (ii) Bittrex checks if your Order fits to a corresponding Order of another User (who uses the irregular custody service) at its own discretion in respect of Bittrex’ liquidity management; and (iii) you agree with Bittrex to change your claim for your current Token (which you want to trade) to another Token (e.g. in case you want to exchange 1 BTC for 30 ETH, you will have after the trade a claim for 30 ETH instead of a claim for 1 BTC). Legally a novation happens and you have new claim against Bittrex. Bittrex is, therefore, always the only contracting party for you The settlement reflecting the new claim will be displayed in your Bittrex Global Account.

b) Matched Trading:

In case of a regular custody, Bittrex keeps the Token for you. In the Matched Trading Bittrex does not act as you counterparty, but conducts matching of interests of User’s buy and sell orders with regard to Tokens. In order to affect a trade, the follow steps will be facilitated: (i) you place an order according to Section 7.1. above; (ii) Bittrex matches your Order with a corresponding Order of another user (who uses the regular custody service) at its own discretion; and (iii) the Token are exchanged on-chain between you and the other User. Therefore, after the Trade you are the owner of the traded Token, which will be kept in your Hosted Wallet. The settlement is reflected in your Bittrex Global Account.

7.5. Cancellations

You may only cancel an Order initiated via the Services if such cancellation occurs before your Order has been matched with an Order from another user. Once your Order has been matched with an Order from another user, you may not change, withdraw, or cancel your authorization for Bittrex Global to complete such Order. If any order has been partially matched, you may cancel the unmatched portion of the Order unless and until the unmatched portion has been matched. Bittrex Global reserves the right to refuse any cancellation request associated with a market Order after you have submitted such Order.

7.6. Insufficient Tokens

If you have an insufficient amount of Tokens in your Hosted Wallet to fulfill an Order, Bittrex Global may cancel the entire Order or may fulfill a partial Order that can be covered by the Tokens in your Hosted Wallet (after deducting any fees payable to Bittrex Global in connection with the Trade).

7.7. Additional Service – Sale of Bittrex Token

Bittrex Global also provides the service of selling its own token ("Bittrex Token"; additional Service) against fiat money in the currency and for the price displayed on the Site. A buy order for Bittrex Token by a User is executed against Bittrex Global. These tokens are solely internal ledger entries in the Bittrex Global Trading Platform. In order to affect a purchase of Bittrex Token, a User transfers fiat money, which is accepted by Bittrex Global, to the account disclosed by Bittrex Global. In turn (step-by-step, once the fiat money arrives at the designated account of Bittrex Global) the User acquires a claim against Bittrex Global denominated in Bittrex Token. There is no contractual right to redeem the monetary value (fiat money/purchase price) transferred as consideration for the purchase of Bittrex Token. However, the User has an indefinite right of withdrawal with regard to additional Services (concerning purchased Bittrex Tokens). For details, see Section 8 ‘Right of Withdrawal’ – ‘additional Services’.

The Bittrex Token may also be placed on the Site in accordance with Section 7.4 of these Terms and used for trading on the Bittrex Global Trading Platform.

You, as the purchaser of the Bittrex Token bear the economic risk with regard to volatility and market development of the Bittrex Token. Therefore, you bear the sole responsibility of a decrease or increase of value of the Bittrex Token.

The Bittrex Token constitutes digital contents and does not represent any participation in Bittrex Global.

.If you wish to sell a Bittrex Token, you may not be able to sell such Bittrex Token, or not at a reasonable price, or not at a price that is at least equal to the capital you have invested to purchase such Bittrex Token. There is no guarantee that a market for trading Bittrex Tokens will actually develop and remain. The valuation of a Bittrex Token may be difficult and extremely volatile.

8. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

General

The User takes note that the Consumer Protection Law of Liechtenstein (Konsumentenschutzgesetz or "KSchG") stipulates in its Article 4 that a consumer has the right to withdraw from an agreement with a company without giving reasons within fourteen (14) days, beginning the day after their accepting the agreement, if the consumer’s contractual declaration was not made in rooms used by the company for business purposes.

The User also takes note that, pursuant to Article 12 of the Distance Selling Act of Liechtenstein (Fern- und Auswärtsgeschäfte-Gesetz or "FAGG"), a consumer has the right to withdraw from any contract agreed with a company at distance or off-premises (=online) without giving reasons within fourteen days, beginning the day after conclusion of the contract.

The right to withdrawal from these Terms pursuant to the KSchG is inter alia not applicable to the User as a consumer if: (i) the User has initiated the business relationship with Bittrex Global for the purpose of concluding these Terms (Art. 4 para. 3 lit. a KSchG); (ii) the conclusion of these Terms was not preceded by discussions between the parties or their agents (Art 4 para. 3 lit. b KSchG); (iii) the Terms are subject to the Distance Selling Act (FAGG) (Art 4 para. 3 lit. d KSchG).

The User takes note that they have no right to withdraw from any service stipulated in these Terms pursuant to the KSchG, because the Distance Selling Act (FAGG) is applicable.

Trading (Novation of the Claim and Matched Trading) and Margin Trading System

The right to withdrawal from an agreement pursuant to the FAGG does not apply for the delivery of goods or services for which the price is dependent on fluctuations in the financial market that cannot be controlled by the provider of these goods and services and which may occur during the withdrawal period (Art 19 para. 1 lit. b FAGG). The background to this exclusion from the right of withdrawal is that the risk of an at least indirectly financial market-related speculative transaction is not to be unilaterally burdened on the entrepreneur, but is to be distributed equally between the two parties when the agreement is concluded. The core of the trading with Token is a speculative one. Therefore, the User does not have a right to withdraw from a trade after it has been settled.

The User takes note of and acknowledges their loss of the right of withdrawal pursuant to the FAGG owing to price fluctuations in Token markets, as described above.

Furthermore, the right to withdrawal from an agreement with a company pursuant to the FAGG does not apply to the delivery of digital content not stored on a physical medium (= Tokens) if an entrepreneur – with the express consent of a consumer and given their knowledge of the loss of the right of withdrawal in the case of a timely fulfillment of the contract, and after handing over a copy or confirmation of the concluded contract to the consumer – begins to deliver this digital content in a timely fashion, before expiry of the withdrawal period.

THE USER HEREBY DECLARES THEIR EXPRESS CONSENT THAT, UNDER THE BITTREX TRADING SYSTEMS AND THE BITTREX MARGIN TRADING SYSTEM, BITTREX GLOBAL SHALL IN EVERY CASE PERFORM ANY AGREED EXCHANGE OF TOKENS OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY OTHER AGREED CONSIDERATION IN A TIMELY FASHION. THE USER TAKES NOTE OF AND ACKNOWLEDGES THEIR LOSS OF THE RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL OWING TO TIMELY FULFILLMENT OF THE TERMS (TRADING OF TOKENS; CREDITING OF TOKENS AND PROVISION OF TOKENS AS COLLATERAL), AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. BITTREX GLOBAL SHALL TRANSMIT A COPY OR CONFIRMATION OF CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT WITH THE USER TO THE USER’S ACCOUNT. THE USER HEREBY GIVES APPROVAL FOR THIS PROCEDURE. BITTREX GLOBAL WILL BEGIN WITH DELIVERY OF TOKENS BEFORE THE EXPIRY OF THE WITHDRAWAL PERIOD (TIMELY EXCHANGE OF TOKENS).

AS A CONSEQUENCE, THE USER WAIVES THEIR RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL FROM ANY AGREED TRADING OF TOKENS, CREDITING OF TOKENS AND PROVISION OF TOKENS AS COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE FAGG.

Additional Services (purchase of Bittrex Token according to Section 7.7 above)

9. MARGIN TRADING

9.1. Margin Trading

When you buy Tokens on leverage, pursuant to the Margin Trading system on the Bittrex Global Trading Platform as described hereinafter, you are borrowing Tokens from Bittrex Global for placing and settling new purchase or sell orders on leverage with regard to Tokens. As a pre-condition for borrowing Token from Bittrex Global you have to provide a collateral for Bittrex as a security.

In case of regular custody, you must transfer your right of disposal of Tokens by transferring them from your Hosted Wallet to a margin account (“Margin Account”) to secure your loan in Tokens (in German “Sicherungsübereignung”)

In case of irregular custody, your Token will be transferred into your Margin Account and you agree with Bittrex Global that you may not exercise your claim for your Token as long as they are a collateral in your Margin Account.

Leveraged transactions through the Margin Trading system are riskier and involve the possibility of greater loss than transactions where you are not borrowing Tokens for placing orders. If the value of your Tokens falls, you may be required to deposit more collateral (a "Margin Call") to secure your loan or your Tokens, and other Tokens or assets may be sold to pay down or pay off your loan without prior notice and at a loss or at lower prices than under other circumstances. If you sell Tokens short (placing a sell order for tokens with a leverage) and the value of the Tokens rises, you may receive a Margin Call and we may sell Tokens already in your Margin Account to satisfy your coverage ratio obligation, without prior notice and at a loss or at lower prices than under other circumstances. Leveraged transactions are not suitable for everyone, and you agree to evaluate your own financial situation, resources, investment objectives, and other relevant circumstances to determine whether leveraged transactions are appropriate for you.

The Margin Trading system consists of two separate agreements, a loan agreement and a security agreement.

These margin trading terms of service constitute a general framework of conditions governing the Margin Trading system on the Bittrex Global Trading Platform. You may receive an individually tailored product under the Margin Trading system with individual conditions, which you separately have to accept.

These special product conditions with regard to the Margin Trading system take precedence and prevail over the general conditions stipulated herein in case of contradicting terms.

a) Loan Agreement
In a first step, Bittrex Global acts as a creditor of Tokens and credits Tokens to you as a borrower and consequently debtor of Tokens according to a loan agreement pursuant to § 983 ABGB.

The term of this loan agreement is as will be defined before entering into a loan agreement via the Site.

The maturity of the loan under this loan agreement is as will be defined before entering into a loan agreement via Site.

The obligation of Bittrex Global to perform under this loan agreement is fulfilled once the Tokens are credited to your Margin Account through transfer of Tokens.

It is your obligation under this loan agreement to repay the credited Tokens by Bittrex Global in full with interest upon maturity of the loan. The loan interest will be based on the prevailing market rate as disclosed on the Site before entering into a loan agreement. Interest is calculated as daily simple interest, rounded up to the day. All loans have to be repaid in the Tokens which were lent. Loans have to be repaid upon the closing of the position.

Upon failure to repay the credited tokens upon maturity, Bittrex Global can use Tokens in your Margin Account to pay off your loan.

b) Security Agreement / Assignment by Way of Security
In order for Bittrex Global to provide a credit in token under the abovementioned loan agreement, you must provide collateral to Bittrex Global (secured party).

The purpose of the collateral under the security agreement is to secure the interests of Bittrex Global resulting from the loan agreement.

The obligation of you to perform under this security agreement depends on the option of your Hosted Wallet.

In case of regular custody, your obligation according to the Security Agreement is fulfilled once the Tokens are transferred to Bittrex Global. Transferal of Tokens to Bittrex Global takes place by transfer of your right of disposal of tokens by transferring them to the Margin Account (in German “Sicherungsübereignung”).

In case of irregular custody, your obligation according to the Security Agreement is fulfilled once your Token are transferred into your Margin Account and you agree with Bittrex Global that you may not exercise your claim for your Token as long as they are a collateral in your Margin Account.

Consequently, Bittrex Global becomes authorized to dispose of the Tokens transferred as collateral in the Margin Account (“Collateral”). The transferal of Collateral is made with the understanding in the internal relationship between you and Bittrex Global, that Bittrex Global may only use the Collateral if the margin trading maintenance coverage requirements ("maintenance coverage requirements”) are no longer fulfilled. Upon settlement of any claim resulting out of the security agreement, ownership of the Tokens (in case of regular custody) or the right to claim your Token (in case of irregular custody) is to be restored to you.

The maintenance coverage requirements are calculated as follows:

Margin level is calculated as (Equity / Used Margin).
Equity is the current value of your collateral in your Margin Account plus unrealized profit and loss (P&L) on your positions minus accrued interest on your loans.
Used Margin is the current value of the collateral tied to open positions.
Margin call is at a margin level as defined before entering into a security agreement on the Site. At margin call we may choose to close your positions.
Liquidation is at a margin level as defined before entering into a security agreement on the Site. At liquidation, we will close your positions to get you up to or above 100% margin level.

If a Margin Call is issued by Bittrex Global in case the maintenance coverage requirements are no longer fulfilled, you must provide additional Collateral or the Tokens serving as collateral may be liquidated by Bittrex Global.

You confirm that you have received our Margin Disclosure Statement and acknowledge its content /hc/en-us/articles/6448562514715 and understand the risks involved with leveraged trades pursuant to the Margin Trading system. You understand that trading Tokens on leverage involves a variety of risks, including, among others:

You can lose more Tokens than you deposit in your Margin Account
We can force the sale of Tokens in your Margin Account if you fail to provide collateral pursuant to the indicated the coverage ratio.
We can sell your Tokens without contacting you to meet a Margin Call.
You are not entitled to choose which Tokens in your Margin Account are liquidated or sold to meet a margin call.
We can increase our maintenance coverage requirements and will provide such notice in the product.
You are not entitled to an extension of time on a Margin Call.

9.2. Initial Collateral Coverage and Maintenance Coverage Requirements; Margin Calls for Additional Collateral

You agree that you are responsible for paying for all transactions you make and all authorized transactions in your Margin Account. You agree to maintain in your Margin Account a sufficient quantity of Tokens to meet any maintenance coverage requirements imposed by Bittrex Global for users to engage in leveraged trades.

You agree to promptly satisfy all margin and maintenance coverage calls. You understand and agree that Bittrex Global is not obligated to request additional collateral from you in the event your Margin Account falls below maintenance coverage requirements and there may be circumstances where Bittrex Global will liquidate Tokens in your Margin Account or impose limits on the amount of any inbound or outbound transfers, or suspend or terminate the ability to transfer Tokens into or out of your Hosted Wallet, in each case, without notice to you to ensure that maintenance coverage requirements are satisfied.

9.3. Liquidation; Payment of Indebtedness Upon Demand

You agree that we shall have the right, in accordance with our sole discretion regarding our maintenance coverage requirements, when it is necessary for our protection, or to satisfy a Margin Call, deficiency, debit or other obligation owed to us, we may (a) require additional Collateral at an earlier or later point in time than called for by our general policies; (b) sell any or all Tokens in your Margin Account; (c) buy any or all Tokens which may be short in your Margin Account; (d) cancel any open Orders; (e) impose limits on the amount of any inbound or outbound transfers, or suspend or terminate the ability to transfer Tokens into or out of your Hosted Wallet; or (f) close any or all outstanding transactions, in each case, without demand for Collateral or additional Collateral, notice of sale of purchase, or other notice or advertisement. In case of an irregular custody you agree with Bittrex Global, that your claim for Token in your Margin Account becomes invalid in case the Token are sold according to item (b) above.

While it is our policy to attempt to contact you to the extent practical before taking any action described in this section, we reserve the right to take any such action without prior notice or demand for additional collateral, and free of any right of redemption.

This means any Tokens held now or in the future in any of your Margin Account may be liquidated or sold by us, without contacting you, to reduce or eliminate any margin loan balance(s) in your Margin Account You agree Bittrex Global has the discretion to determine which Tokens are to be sold or bought, which transactions to close, and the sequence and timing of liquidation. You agree not to hold us liable for the choice of which Tokens to buy or sell or of which transactions to close or for the timing or manner of the liquidation. In certain circumstances we may, at our sole discretion, liquidate your entire margin loan balance to satisfy a margin call. You agree not to hold us liable for taking such action.

You at all times shall be liable for the full payment of debit balances or other obligations owning in your Margin Account. You shall be liable for any deficiency remaining in any such Margin Account in the event of the liquidation thereof, in whole or in part, by Bittrex Global or by you, and you shall make payment of such obligations and indebtedness promptly upon demand.

10. BITTREX CREDITS

10.1. The Bittrex Credits Program; Earning Bittrex Credits

Bittrex Credits is a loyalty program offered by Bittrex to its users (the “Bittrex Credits Program”) through which users may accrue credits (“Bittrex Credits”). The Bittrex Credits Program is open to all Bittrex Global users. Bittrex Credits have no cash value and cannot be removed from the Site. Bittrex Credits may also not be redeemed with Bittrex Global in return for cash. Bittrex Global may allow you to earn Bittrex Credits based on the value of commissions you pay for trading on the Bittrex Global Trading Platform at the rate of one (1) Bittrex Credit for each unit of Token with a value equivalent to one dollar (USD $1.00) you pay on commissions for Orders. Bittrex Credits are earned at the time an eligible Order is processed by Bittrex Global. Generally, Bittrex Credits are automatically added to your Bittrex Global Account within twenty-four (24) hours of when you earned them. You may view your balance of Bittrex Credits on your “Wallets” page within your Bittrex Global Account. From time to time, we may conduct special promotions and offer individuals or specific users the ability to receive Bittrex Credits. The details of any such promotion, including a description of the conduct required, the number of Bittrex Credits available and the expiration date of such Bittrex Credits, will be in the terms and conditions communicated to the eligible users set forth on the Site or by email or in another communication from Bittrex Global.

10.2. Using Bittrex Credits

Bittrex Credits are redeemable for certain potential rewards within the Site (“Redemption Rewards”).

The Redemption Rewards available and the number of Bittrex Credits required for redemption of a Redemption Reward will be displayed in the Site, including any additional terms and conditions associated with such Redemption Reward, and may vary at Bittrex Global’s sole discretion. Bittrex Global may also modify the number of Bittrex Credits required for redemption or limit, change, or cancel the number, value or type of rewards or Redemption Rewards offered.
