RoW (US) Terms of Service

  1. ABOUT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE

    IN ADDITION TO THIS AGREEMENT, CERTAIN DISCLOSURES APPLY TO YOUR USE OF THE NOAH SERVICES. YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE NOAH TERMS OF SERVICE INCLUDES YOUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF AND AGREEMENT TO THOSE DISCLOSURES, WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN SCHEDULE 2 OF THIS AGREEMENT.

    1. These legal terms of service and any other documents referred to herein (save for our Privacy Policy), form the agreement (together, the “Agreement”) between you and “Noah Savings, Inc.”, a company incorporated in Delaware with company number 6946046 whose registered address is at 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, Delaware 19808, Country of New Castle, US (“Noah”) and by accepting these terms of service you agree to be legally bound by the terms of this Agreement.

    2. Noah and/or its Affiliates operate a software solution and associated systems which facilitate the purchase and sale of certain digital currencies, digital assets or other digital commodities which are a digital representation of value to or from Noah (the “Noah Platform”).

      1. Your technology partner (the “Partner”) operates an IT platform which is accessed via an associated app which its customers can download, access, use and interact with pursuant to an agreement with the technology partner (“Partner Terms”). The Partner has integrated the Noah Platform with their platform and services (the “Partner Services”). Either the Partner or your chosen third party supplier provides you with services which allow you to create, access and use a Crypto Asset Wallet (as defined in Schedule 1).

      2. This Agreement describes how you may access and use the Noah Platform and the terms and conditions on which Noah provides services to you to allow you to purchase or sell certain digital currencies, digital assets or other digital commodities to or from Noah (as described in Clauses 3.7 and 3.8), excluding any Partner Services (“Noah Services”).

      3. When certain words and phrases are used in this Agreement, they have specific meanings (these are known as “defined terms”). You can identify these defined terms (except for the defined terms in Clause 1.6 below) because they start with capital letters (even if they are not at the start of a sentence). Where a defined term is used, it has the meaning given to it in the Section of this Agreement where it was defined (you can find these meanings by looking at the sentence where the defined term is included either in brackets and speech marks or, in respect of Clause 1.6, in speech marks). All defined terms are listed in Schedule 1 of this Agreement.

      4. In this Agreement, references to "you" or "your" means you, the person who accepts the terms of this Agreement and successfully completes Noah’s onboarding and know your customer checks and uses and/or receives the Noah Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Reference to any “Clause” is to a Clause of this Agreement.

      5. Noah only uses your personal information in accordance with the Noah Privacy Notice.

Please carefully review the Partner Terms and any other terms provided by your Crypto Asset Wallet or Designated Crypto Wallet provider (as applicable).

    16. You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, Noah is not responsible or liable for any Loss suffered by you or for any lost Fiat or Crypto Assets, in each case, in relation to any mistaken or unauthorised access to or use of your Partner Account, your Crypto Asset Wallet, the Designated Crypto Wallet or the Noah Services.

  3. NOAH SERVICES

    General

    1. The services to be provided by Noah under this Agreement comprise:

      1. services to be performed by Noah in relation to the purchase of Crypto Assets by you from Noah using Fiat sent by you to Noah from the Customer Banking Account and the subsequent transfer of such purchased Crypto Assets to the Designated Crypto Wallet as described in Clause 3.7 (“On-ramp Services”); and
      2. services to be performed by Noah in relation to the sale of Crypto Assets by you to Noah in exchange for Fiat using Crypto Assets sent by you to Noah from your Crypto Asset Wallet where such Fiat is then sent by Noah to the Designated Banking Account, as described in Clause 3.8 (“Off-ramp Services”).

      (together, the "Noah Services").

    2. Noah shall provide the Noah Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary in this Agreement, Noah may, in its sole discretion, subcontract elements of the NOAH Services to its Affiliates or subcontractors engaged by Noah.

    3. For the avoidance of doubt, Noah may delay the processing of a Transaction or Crypto Transfer which may result in delays in the crediting or debiting, as applicable, of the Crypto Asset Wallet, the Designated Crypto Wallet, Customer Banking Account or the Designated Banking Account (as applicable) in certain situations including pursuant to Clause 2.10 where Noah is carrying out compliance checks, verification checks, or if payments to the Customer vIBAN are reversed. Noah is not responsible for such delays.

    4. You acknowledge and agree on an ongoing basis that, in relation to the On-ramp Services, the Customer Banking Account shall be owned and controlled solely by you, or owned and controlled by a third party provided that (A) you have all due authority, permissions and consent from such third party owner and controller of the Customer Banking Account to allow the transfer of funds from such account, (B) the third party is your payroll provider or a closely related family member of you (each such third party a “Related Third Party”), (C) the number of such third parties is limited no more than five (5), and (D) you shall provide to Noah any information as requested by Noah in relation to such Related Third Parties (including as required by Clause 1.7 above).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Noah does not accept any liability for any acts or omissions of its Banking Partner.

      On-ramp Services

    6. In relation to the On-ramp Services:

      1. when sending an Order you must provide the required information to complete the Order including details of: (i) the type of Crypto Asset you wish to purchase from Noah; (ii) the amount and type of Fiat to be transferred to Noah by you for the purchase (the “Fiat Order Amount”); (iii) the Customer Banking Account from which the Fiat will be transferred to Noah; (iv) the Designated Crypto Wallet details; and (v) any other additional compliance information required by Noah from time to time;
      2. Noah may then (in its sole discretion and subject to any restrictions imposed at Noah’s discretion from time to time) provide a Customer Virtual Account Number and submit a Transaction Offer to you and you will be prompted to pay the Fiat Order Amount by bank transfer to the Customer Virtual Account Number. If you transfer an amount of Fiat which is more or less than the Fiat Order Amount, then the Order may be cancelled;
      3. following receipt (in cleared funds) of the amounts of Fiat transferred in accordance with Clause 3.7.2 (the “Fiat Amount”), Noah will hold such Fiat in the Noah Fiat Account for the benefit of you with the Banking Partner. If Noah (in its sole discretion) confirms that its compliance checks have been passed, then the Accepted Order will be entered into in accordance with Clause 4 and Noah will initiate a Transaction and a Crypto Transfer in accordance with the Accepted Order and the terms of this Agreement so that an amount of the agreed type of Crypto Assets (equal to the amount that could be exchanged for the Fiat Amount (less the Transaction Fees) based on the Exchange Rate) (“Net Crypto Assets”) is automatically and immediately sent to the Designated Crypto Wallet;
      4. you shall ensure that when the Fiat Amount is received by Noah in accordance with this Clause such Fiat Amount shall not be reversed, withdrawn or otherwise reclaimed while an Order is pending or after completion of the transaction. Furthermore:
        1. you will not request any chargebacks from your bank or credit card company, or otherwise exercise any chargeback rights in respect of any Orders;
        2. if a chargeback is nonetheless initiated by you, or if Noah must take any action to investigate or address a chargeback caused by or related to your actions, Noah reserves the right to charge an administrative fee to cover its reasonable costs associated with the investigation, processing, and resolution of the chargeback;
        3. Noah may deduct this administrative fee under its set-off rights as established in this Agreement. This fee may be deducted directly from any amounts due to you, without further notice or consent from you;
        4. Noah reserves the right to temporarily suspend or restrict your access to the Noah Services and Noah Customer UI during any chargeback investigation period. This suspension or restriction may remain in place until any outstanding issues related to the chargeback have been fully resolved to Noah's satisfaction; and
        5. you shall reimburse Noah in respect of any Losses, including legal and administrative costs, incurred by Noah as a result of any chargeback initiated by you;
      5. notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the Accepted Order is not entered into in accordance with Clause 4 (including in circumstances where Clause 4.3 applies), then the relevant Order shall be cancelled;
      6. you must use the Customer Virtual Account Number to transfer the relevant amounts of Fiat to Noah. If you or your Related Third Party fails to use the Customer Virtual Account Number to transfer Fiat to Noah then you acknowledge and agree that Noah shall not be liable to you for any Loss suffered or incurred by you arising out of the transfer of any amounts of Fiat to any bank account other than the Customer Virtual Account Number and the relevant Order shall be cancelled; and
      7. if the bank account used by you to transfer an amount of Fiat equal to the Fiat Amount is not the Customer Banking Account, then without prejudice to Noah’s other rights and remedies, the relevant Accepted Order shall not be entered into and the relevant Order shall be cancelled.

      On-ramp Services

    7. In relation to the Off-ramp Services:

      1. when sending an Order you must provide the required information to complete the Order including details of: (i) your Crypto Asset Wallet from which Crypto Assets will be sent to Noah; (ii) the type and amount of Crypto Asset you wish to sell to Noah in exchange for Fiat (the “Crypto Asset Order Amount”); (iii) the type of Fiat the Crypto Asset Order Amount should be exchange for; (iv) the Designated Banking Account where the Fiat should be sent in relation to such sale; and (v) any other additional compliance information required by Noah from time to time;
      2. Noah may then (in its sole discretion and subject to any restrictions imposed at Noah’s discretion from time to time) provide the Noah Wallet Address and submit a Transaction Offer to you and you will be prompted to transfer an amount of Crypto Assets equal to the Crypto Asset Order Amount to the Noah Wallet Address from your Crypto Asset Wallet. If you transfer an amount of Crypto Assets which is more or less than the Crypto Asset Order Amount or the incorrect type of Crypto Asset, then the Order will be cancelled;
      3. following receipt (in cleared funds) of the amount of Crypto Asset transferred in accordance with Clause 3.7.2 (the “Crypto Amount”), if Noah (in its sole discretion) confirms to you that such compliance checks have been passed, then the Accepted Order will be entered into in accordance with Clause 4 and Noah will initiate a Transaction in accordance with the Accepted Order and the terms of this Agreement so that an amount of Fiat (in the type requested in the relevant Order and equal to the amount that could be exchanged for the Crypto Amount based on the Exchange Rate, but less the Transaction Fees) (“Net Fiat”) is sent to the Designated Banking Account;
      4. notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the Accepted Order is not entered into in accordance with Clause 4 (including in circumstances where Clause 4.3 applies), then the relevant Order shall be cancelled and the relevant Crypto Assets will be returned to the Crypto Asset Wallet less any applicable blockchain gas fees and subject to the terms of this Agreement; and
      5. you must use the Noah Wallet Address to transfer the relevant amounts of Crypto Asset to Noah. If you fail to use the Noah Wallet Address, then you acknowledge and agree that Noah shall not be liable to you for any Loss suffered or incurred by you arising out of the transfer of any amounts of Crypto Asset to any blockchain wallet address other than the Noah Wallet Address and the relevant Order shall be cancelled.
  4. ORDERS, TRANSACTIONS, CRYPTO TRANSFERS AND ACCEPTED ORDERS

    1. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Orders are not binding on Noah until they become an Accepted Order, subject to Clause 13.3. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, you may not cancel, withdraw or reverse an Accepted Order that has been entered into, including where such Accepted Order is entered into as a result of any error by you or the Partner.

    2. Prior to the time the Accepted Order is entered into, you may cancel the relevant Order. Any such cancellation must be communicated by you to Noah via the Partner Services.

    3. An Order shall be deemed an “Accepted Order”, subject to:

      1. in relation to the On-Ramp Services, receipt by Noah in cleared funds of the amounts of Fiat transferred in accordance with Clause 3.7.2 and confirmation, in accordance with Clause 3.7.3, by Noah that the relevant compliance checks have been passed;
      2. in relation to the Off-Ramp Services, receipt by Noah of an amount of Crypto Asset transferred in accordance with Clause 3.8.2 and confirmation, in accordance with Clause 3.8.3, by Noah that the relevant compliance checks have been passed;

      and such Accepted Order will then, subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Clause 13.3), be binding on both parties and Noah will then initiate a Transaction and/or Crypto Transfer in accordance with such Accepted Order and the terms of this Agreement. Accordingly, each Accepted Order shall constitute a separate contract for the On-Ramp Services or Off-Ramp Services (as applicable) governed by the terms of this Agreement.

    4. You herby designate Noah as your limited agent for the purpose of collecting and processing Accepted Orders. In respect of the On-ramp Services, Client payments subject to this Agreement shall be treated as received upon the receipt of the Fiat Amount into the Noah FBO Account, such that your payment obligation is extinguished and there is no risk of loss to you.

    5. You are solely responsible for reviewing Transaction Offers for accuracy and any errors. If a Transaction Offer is inaccurate then you must notify Noah within 24 hours of receipt of the Transaction Offer. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws, you waive any right to dispute Transactions or Crypto Transfers entered into in respect of an Accepted Order (including as a result of any error or inaccuracies in the relevant Order relating to such Accepted Order). Furthermore, you acknowledge and agree that Noah is not liable to you for any Losses you may suffer in connection with any Transactions or Crypto Transfers entered into in respect of an Accepted Order to the extent arising as a result of any inaccuracy or error by you.

    6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Noah reserves the right not to send a Transaction Offer for any reason and to cancel any Order including if the Order: (i) was submitted during a scheduled or unscheduled downtime of the Noah Platform and/or any part of the Noah Services; (ii) breaches the terms of this Agreement; or (iii) is otherwise in breach, or Noah reasonably suspects it is likely to be in breach, of applicable Law.

    7. All Orders must be submitted by you via the Partner Services using the Partner Account or via the Noah Customer UI (as directed by the Partner Services). Noah is entitled to rely on all such Orders submitted or accepted in accordance with Clause 4.3, and such Orders (once they become Accepted Orders) shall be valid and binding on you.

    8. You shall not submit Orders on behalf of a third party. You acknowledge and agree now and on an ongoing basis that, subject to Clause 3.4(ii), you are the sole legal and beneficial owner of all Fiat (sent by you in respect of an Order relating to the On-ramp Services) and all Crypto Assets used in respect of an Order (relating to the Off-ramp Services), and that such Fiat or Crypto Assets are not the direct or indirect proceeds of any criminal or fraudulent activity.

    9. Noah may (in its sole discretion) limit the Fiat Order Amount, Fiat Amount, Crypto Asset Order Amount or Crypto Amount relating to any Order and the frequency of any Orders submitted by you in a given time period.

    10. Noah maintains records of all Accepted Orders as required by applicable Law.

    11. Noah shall have no responsibility for any errors that occur in respect of Transactions or Crypto Transfers which arise as a result of the actions or omissions of you or any other party.

      Order or Accepted Order cancellations

    12. In the event an Order is cancelled prior to the relevant Accepted Order being entered into or an Accepted Order is cancelled pursuant to Clause 13.3 (meaning the relevant Transaction or Crypto Transfer is not entered into), then the parties acknowledge and agree that Noah accepts no liability in relation to such cancellation(s) and reserves the right to charge you administrative fees and blockchain gas fees and any associated Fiat Amount or Crypto Asset (as applicable) held by Noah in accordance with this Agreement shall be returned to you as soon as reasonably practicable.

  5. NOAH CUSTOMER USER INTERFACE

    1. Noah hereby grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, non-sublicensable licence during the Term to use and access the Noah Customer UI in connection with receipt of the Noah Services from Noah during the Term.

    2. Noah may amend the Noah Customer UI and the Noah Services from time to time. Where such amendments are material, Noah shall inform you of such amendments in advance of them taking effect.

    3. You acknowledge and agree that Noah and its licensors own all Intellectual Property Rights in the Noah Customer UI, the Noah Services, the Information and the Software, including all subsequent copies of, and modifications, adaptations, amendments and additions to the same regardless of who made them.

    4.

For the avoidance of doubt, Noah shall not be obliged to implement any such enhancement requests or feedback.

    5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Noah reserves the right to restrict access to the Noah Customer UI and Noah Services (in its sole discretion), where required in accordance with its compliance policies and procedures.

  6. NOAH OBLIGATIONS

    1. During the Term, Noah will provide the Noah Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

    2. Noah shall perform its obligations under this Agreement in compliance with all applicable Laws.

    3. Noah shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the Noah Services are available via the Partner Services on a 24/7 basis, but Noah makes no representation, and gives no warranty or covenant, that the operation or availability of the Noah Services will be uninterrupted or error-free or free from bugs or viruses.

    4. You acknowledge that Noah and/or Noah Personnel may from time to time carry out routine and emergency maintenance of the Noah Services. You may be unable to receive or access the Noah Services during any period in which routine or emergency maintenance is being carried out, though Noah will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep disruption to and unavailability of the Noah Services to a minimum.

    5. Without limitation to Clause 17.1 (Force Majeure), you acknowledge that Noah has no direct control over the availability of bandwidth over the entirety of the internet and that, while Noah will make such efforts as Noah deems appropriate to facilitate the Noah Services, Noah shall not be responsible for delays or failure or error in the provision of the Noah Services caused by such unavailability.

    6. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Noah Services are provided "as is" and to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, Noah disclaims all other conditions, warranties, representations, covenants or other terms which might have effect between the parties with respect to the Noah Services, or be implied or incorporated into this Agreement, whether by statute, common law, custom or otherwise, including any implied conditions, warranties, covenants or other terms relating to satisfactory quality, reasonable skill and care, fitness for any particular purpose, ability to achieve a particular result or arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. Noah does not warrant anything in relation to systems that do not make up the Noah Services or the connection to those systems, in particular Noah does not provide any warranty in relation to the Partner Services.

  7. DISCLAIMERS

    General

    1. The Noah Services will be provided on a non-advised basis, meaning that Noah will not provide you with any recommendations or advice regarding the merits of any Orders, Accepted Orders, Transactions, or Crypto Transfers. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for decisions concerning any Orders, Accepted Orders, Transactions or Crypto Transfers.

    2. You acknowledge that you bear the sole responsibility for any reporting of Orders, Accepted Orders, Transactions or Crypto Transfers as required by applicable Law and regulations. Subject to Clause 4.10, Noah will not provide support or infrastructure for the reporting of Orders, Accepted Orders, Transactions or Crypto Transfers as part of the Noah Services.

    3. You acknowledge that the Information should be used for general information purposes only. The Information is not intended to, and should not be construed as, an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or an endorsement or recommendation of any particular financial instrument. You are solely responsible for the final decision as to your actions on or in relation to the Noah Services.

    4. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute investment advice, legal advice, or any other professional advice. You assume all risks in acting upon any of the Information made available or produced in the access and use of the Noah Services. Under no circumstances shall Noah or any Noah Personnel have any responsibility or liability for any financial position, investment or other business decisions or advice, or any calculations arrived at when using or relying on any Information. Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that you assume sole responsibility for results obtained from the access and use of the Noah Services and any Information and for conclusions drawn from such access and use.

    5. Without affecting your rights as a consumer under applicable Law, Noah does not warrant, represent, covenant or agree that: (a) the use of the Noah Services by you will meet your requirements nor that any recommendations derived from use of the Noah Platform will deliver any particular benefits if implemented; (b) defects in the Noah Services will be corrected; or (c) the functions of the Noah Services will operate in the combinations which you select for use. Under no circumstances shall Noah or Noah Personnel have any liability for any Losses you may suffer or incur (whether in contract, non-contractual liability (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise) caused by errors or omissions in any information, instructions or scripts provided to Noah and/or Noah Personnel by or on behalf of you in connection with the Noah Services, or any actions taken by Noah and/or Noah Personnel at your direction.

    6. Tax treatment of Crypto Assets may vary amongst jurisdictions. It is your sole responsibility to comply with the tax Laws which are applicable to you. Noah does not and will not provide you with any financial, tax, accounting, legal, or other professional advice.

    7. Noah shall have no responsibility to review, monitor, advise on or otherwise ensure compliance by you with (i) any applicable Law or regulation or (ii) any term or condition of any agreement between you and any third party.

    8. Noah shall not be responsible for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement if such performance is prevented, hindered or delayed by changes to Noah’s policies or procedures made in Noah’s sole discretion in light of legal, regulatory, operational, security or reputational risks (“Noah Changes”). In the event of any Noah Changes, Noah will inform you of the Noah Changes and the expected duration of their effect. In these circumstances, Noah’s obligations will be suspended as long as any Noah Change remains in effect.

    Blockchain Specific

    1. You acknowledge and agree that:

      1. some of the financial institutions that issue Stablecoins on various blockchains (“Issuers”) include software code that they can use to block the transfer of Stablecoins if the Issuer suspects illegal activity or pursuant to a request from law enforcement. Noah has no control over the software code of any of the Stablecoins Noah supports, and you are purchasing Stablecoins at your own risk.
      2. blockchains are subject to sudden changes in operating rules, and third parties may from time to time create a copy of a blockchain and implement changes in operating rules or other features (“Forks”) that may result in more than one version of a blockchain (each, a “Forked Blockchain”) and more than one version of a Crypto Asset (“Forked Crypto Assets”). Noah’s ability to support Forked Crypto Assets or accept Forked Crypto Assets resulting from a Forked Blockchain is completely outside of its control. Forks may materially affect the value and function of the Crypto Asset you purchase from or sells to Noah and depends entirely on the issuer (as applicable) of the Forked Crypto Asset. In the event of a Fork, Noah may temporarily suspend any Orders in process at the time of the Fork with or without notice to you while Noah determines the effects of the Fork on the functionality of the Noah Services. Issuers (as applicable) will almost certainly not support Forked versions of the Crypto Asset they issue, and you may not be permitted to redeem Forked Crypto Asset for Fiat. Attempts to Fork a blockchain may also result in complete or partial failure of the blockchain’s functionality, and the Crypto Assets you own that are supported by the blockchain may become worthless.

      NOAH MAY CHOOSE NOT TO SUPPORT FORKED BLOCKCHAINS, AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT, CLAIM, OR OTHER PRIVILEGE TO FORKED CRYPTO ASSETS ON A FORKED NETWORK NOAH DOES NOT SUPPORT, EVEN IN THE RARE EVENT AN ISSUER SUPPORTS THE FORK. NOAH MAY ABANDON OR CHOOSE NOT TO SUPPORT FORKED BLOCKCHAINS AS PART OF THE NOAH SERVICES, AND NOAH AND ITS NOAH PERSONNEL AND/OR AUTHORISED THIRD PARTIES ARE UNLIKELY TO SUPPORT MOST FORKED BLOCKCHAINS.

      1. the Noah Services allow you to submit Orders to Noah and to transfer Crypto Assets to Noah pursuant to the Off-ramp Services. In such circumstances you are responsible for checking the accuracy of your instructions to Noah, or any instructions you make in order to transfer Crypto Assets to Noah pursuant to the Off-ramp Services;
      2. the provision of the Crypto Asset Wallet and/or Designated Crypto Wallet is subject to your (or the relevant third party’s) agreement with the relevant third party provider, if any. Noah shall have no liability to you for any Loss that you may suffer (whether in contract, non-contractual liability (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise) arising in connection with the provision of or your use of, or the services provided by, your Crypto Asset Wallet and/or Designated Crypto Wallet and any relevant provider. You should familiarise yourself with the terms and conditions of the relevant Crypto Asset Wallet and/or Designated Crypto Wallet provider (as applicable);
      3. neither Noah or any of its Affiliates control the Crypto Asset Supported Networks (including their consensus mechanisms, operation and/or governance) and Noah has no liability for the operation of the Crypto Asset Supported Networks and Noah does not guarantee that transactions (including Crypto Transfers) sent to the Crypto Asset Supported Networks will be executed. Under no circumstances will Noah be liable to you for any Loss you may suffer (whether in contract, non-contractual liability (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise) arising out of or in connection with the operation of the Crypto Asset Supported Networks;
      4. neither Noah or any of its Affiliates at any time (i) gives any guarantee as to the regulatory status of the Crypto Assets, including whether or not such Crypto Assets are securities, transferable securities or any type of specified investment in any jurisdiction; nor (ii) provides any legal, regulatory, or other specialist advice, endorsement or recommendation to you in respect of the compliance of the Crypto Assets (or any other crypto in your Connected Crypto Wallet) with any relevant financial services Laws and regulations, and such persons shall have no liability to, nor shall they assume any duty of care to, you in respect of any such Laws or regulations;
      5. legislative and regulatory changes or actions at state or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, ownership, sale and/or the value of blockchain-based assets such as the Crypto Assets. There may be legal or regulatory restrictions, now or in the future, to acquire, own, hold, sell or use blockchain-based assets such as the Crypto Assets or to exchange them for fiat currency in one or more countries;
      6. trading in Crypto Assets involves a high degree of risk and Crypto Assets could lose all or substantially all of their value in a short period of time;
      7. digital assets such as Crypto Assets are relatively new and largely unregulated and therefore Crypto Assets are more exposed to theft, fraud and failure than established, regulated products. Crypto Assets may have little or no institutional backing, limited operating history and no publicly available financial information. Some digital asset networks and exchanges have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Any blockchain-based assets (including Crypto Assets, cash or cash-equivalents or other assets that reside on a network or exchange that shuts down) may be lost. The participation in such networks requires users to take on credit risk by transferring blockchain-based assets from a personal account to a third party’s account;
      8. the value of Crypto Assets, like any digital asset, may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency or digital assets, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of Crypto Assets should the market for them disappear or be insufficiently liquid;
      9. transactions on blockchain-based networks, may be irreversible, and, accordingly, Losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable;
      10. the Crypto Asset Supported Network are subject to risks including flaws in the technology, exposure from hacking, malware and general security threats, 51% or other consensus-based attacks, changes in the consensus protocol or algorithms, decreased community or validator support, the existence or development of competing networks, platforms and assets, flaws in the scripting language, disputes between developers, validators and/or users and regulatory action, and the development of any such risk or any such security breach could compromise the private key(s) which control the movement of Crypto Assets. Noah is not obliged to assist you and has no responsibility to you for resolving any such risks or the consequences of them; and
      11. where (a) the details of the Crypto Asset Wallet and/or Designated Crypto Wallet are incorrect or incompatible with the Crypto Asset Supported Network in order to enable the receipt of any Crypto Transfer; or (b) you lose the private keys and/or access to the Crypto Asset Wallet and/or Designated Crypto Wallet, or the Crypto Asset Wallet and/or Designated Crypto Wallet is compromised or becomes inaccessible, (in each case howsoever caused) then you may lose (or lose the ability to access), or you may not receive, the Crypto Assets relating to any Crypto Transfer under this Agreement. In such circumstances you shall not be entitled to any further remittance, payment, compensation or claim (whether in contract, non-contractual liability (including negligence) or otherwise) under this Agreement and Noah will not be liable to you for any claim (whether in contract, non-contractual liability (including negligence) or otherwise) or to make any further remittance, payment or transfer to you under this Agreement.
  8. Without prejudice to Clause 6.3, and subject at all times to Clause 7.11, in respect of any public and private keys associated with the Noah Vault, Noah shall adopt reasonable security measures which are intended to protect the security of the Noah Vault and ensure that any public and private keys associated with the Noah Vault are not obtained, accessed or transferred to any third party.

  9. You acknowledge and agree that:

    1. you do not have any rights in, entitlement to, or access of any kind to, in each case, the public and private key pair associated with the Noah Vault; and
    2. notwithstanding anything to the contrary, subject to the limitations on liability set out in Clause 12, Noah shall be liable to you for the Losses that you suffer or incur in connection with any Crypto Assets stored in the Noah Vault solely to the extent such Losses are caused by Noah having been grossly negligent, fraudulent or in wilful default of its obligations under this Agreement.

  19. MISCELLANEOUS

    1. Force Majeure. Noah shall not be in breach of this Agreement nor liable for delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under this Agreement if such delay or failure results from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes (whether involving the workforce of Noah or any other party), failure of a utility service or transport or telecommunications network or the internet, act of God, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, compliance with any Law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, fire, flood, storm or default of suppliers or sub-contractors (a “Force Majeure Event”). In such circumstances Noah shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of the time for performing such obligations, provided that if the period of delay or non-performance continues for three (3) months, you or Noah may terminate this Agreement by giving thirty (30) days' written notice to the other party.

    2. Rights and Remedies. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies provided under this Agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by Law.

    4. Severability. Each of the clauses of this Agreement operates separately. If any provision, or part of a provision, of this Agreement is found by any court or authority of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall be deemed not to form part of this Agreement, and the legality, validity or enforceability of the remainder of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected, unless otherwise required by operation of applicable Law. If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision would be valid, enforceable or legal if some part of it were modified, the provision shall apply with whatever modification is necessary to give effect to the commercial intention of the parties.

    5. No Waiver. If Noah fails to insist that you perform any of your obligations under this Agreement, or if Noah does not enforce its rights against you, or if Noah delays in doing so, that will not mean that Noah has waived its rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If Noah does waive a default by you, Noah will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that Noah will automatically waive any later default by you.

You agree that all claims brought by you under or as a result of this Agreement (whether in contract, misrepresentation (whether tortious or statutory), non-contractual liability (including negligence), restitution, breach of statutory duty or otherwise) shall be brought against Noah only. You further agree not to bring any claims under or as a result of this Agreement (whether in contract, misrepresentation (whether tortious or statutory), non-contractual liability (including negligence), restitution, breach of statutory duty or otherwise) against Noah Personnel or any Authorised Third Parties.
