The Terms of Use and any terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “Terms”) govern your use of the www.swanbitcoin.com website (the “Site”), any mobile device applications made available to you by Electric Solidus, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”), and any other services made available to you by us, including any software interface that enables you to (a) purchase bitcoin (BTC) (“bitcoin”) for yourself through one of our third-party trading and custodial service providers (each a “Custodian”), and (b) withdraw your purchased bitcoin (collectively with the Site and any other current or future features and/or applications, the “Services”). By accessing, browsing or otherwise using the Services, by creating an account with us or by clicking “Agree” when prompted to do so on the Site, you agree that you have read, understood and accepted all of the Terms and our Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”), which is incorporated by reference into the Terms.

We may change, amend, or revise the Terms from time to time and at any time, in our sole discretion. When we make changes, we will make the updated Terms available on the Site and update the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of the Terms accordingly. Please check the Terms periodically for changes. Any changes to the Terms will apply on the date that they are made, and your continued access to or use of our Services after the Terms have been updated will constitute your binding acceptance of the updates. If you do not agree to any revised Terms, then you should not continue to access or use our Services.

NOTICE: Please read the Terms and the Privacy Policy carefully as they govern your use of the Services.

If you do not have such authority, or if you do not accept all of the Terms, then we are unwilling to make our Services available to you. If you do not agree to the Terms, neither you nor the entity on behalf of which you are acting should not access or use our Services.

2.3 For use of our Services, we charge a percentage (as displayed on the Site at the time of your use of our Services) of the purchase price of bitcoin (the “Fee”) for offering the Services and for purposes of compensating each Custodian.

2.4 Although we provide information that indicates a price for the bitcoin being purchased, we do not sell the bitcoin or broker the sale of bitcoin. The entire purchase of the bitcoin is done between you and aCustodian, which may result in a different price for the bitcoin being purchased than the implied price displayed when using our Service.

3. OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CUSTODIANS.

We do not have any right to direct, and aCustodian will not take any direction from us regarding, bitcoin purchased through a Custodian or any of partner of aCustodian. ACustodian will never commingle the bitcoin that it custodies on our behalf with any of the bitcoin that you purchase. ACustodian will never provide us with any control or decision-making right with respect to any bitcoin suchCustodian custodies on your behalf. For the avoidance of doubt, we shall not be named an agent with respect to your custodial account with aCustodian.

6.1 By way of example, and not as a limitation, you may not, and may not allow any third party to:

7. THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS.

7.1 Our Services operate through third-party service providers, which will require you to agree to separate agreements with them. You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using our Services. We are not a party to those agreements, and we have no responsibility for the products and services provided by the third parties. Nothing in the Terms creates a contractual relationship between you and our service providers. You acknowledge and agree that we are solely responsible for our Services and for providing maintenance and support services for our Services.

7.2 Our third-party service providers have no warranty obligations whatsoever with respect to our Services and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure of our Services to conform to any warranty provided by us, if any, will be our sole responsibility.

7.3 Our third-party service providers are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the services they provide to you in connection with our Services, including, but not limited to (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the Services fail to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation; and (d) intellectual property claims.

8. TAXES

You alone are responsible for complying with all applicable laws related to use of the Services, including, without limitation, any reporting obligations and payment of all applicable taxes. In addition, you are responsible for determining, remitting, withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments associated with your use of the Services. If you are a non-United States tax payer, then you should consult the laws of any jurisdiction applicable to you.

9. PROMOTIONS AND REFERRALS.

We may, from time to time, operate contests, promotions, sweepstakes or other activities or offer referral programs (“Promotions and Referrals”) that require you to submit material or information concerning yourself. Any Promotions and Referrals may be governed by separate rules that may contain certain eligibility requirements, such as restrictions as to age or geographic location. You are responsible for reading all rules relating to the Promotions and Referrals to determine whether or not you are eligible to participate. If you enter or participate in any Promotions and Referrals, then you agree to abide by and to comply with all rules of the Promotions and Referrals; all Promotions and Referrals will be optional so you should not enter or participate in such Promotions and Referrals if you do not agree to abide by and to comply with all such rules.

10. YOUR REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

By using our Services, you represent and warrant to each of the Company Parties (as defined below) that:

10.1 Authority. You have all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver the Terms, to purchase and use our Services, and to carry out and perform its obligations under the Terms. If an individual, then you are at least eighteen (18) years old and of sufficient legal age and capacity to purchase and use our Services. If an entity, then you are duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its domiciliary jurisdiction and each jurisdiction where it conducts business.

10.2 No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of the Terms will not result in any violation of, be in conflict with, or constitute a material default under, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice: (a) any provision of your governing documents, if applicable; (b) any provision of any judgment, decree or order to which you are a party, by which it is bound, or to which any of its material assets are subject; (c) any material agreement, obligation, duty or commitment to which you are a party or by which it is bound; or (d) any laws, regulations or rules applicable to you.

10.3 No Consents or Approvals. The execution and delivery of, and performance under, the Terms require no approval or other action from any governmental authority or person other than you.

11. SANCTIONS.

We must comply with economic sanctions and trade restrictions, including those implemented by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the United States Department of the Treasury. This means that we or anyone using our Services cannot take part in transactions that involve designated people or places, as determined by agencies like OFAC. Nobody using our Services, regardless of their location, may engage in transactions involving (a) certain geographic areas, such as Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria, or any individual or entity operating or residing in those places; (b) individuals or entities identified on sanctions lists such as OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List or Foreign Sanctions Evaders (FSE) List, including, without limitation, any digital currency addresses attributable to any individuals or entities; and (c) nationals of Cuba, regardless of location, unless citizenship or permanent residency outside of Cuba has been established. To ensure compliance with sanctions programs, you are prohibited from using your Account while in certain geographic locations. If we have reason to believe you are operating your Account from a sanctioned location, such as any of the places listed above, or are otherwise in violation of any economic sanction or trade restriction, then we may suspend or terminate your use of our Services, including to cancel any purchases or withdrawals of bitcoin that are in progress at the time. You generally are not permitted to make available for sale products or services that originate from sanctioned areas. This includes items that pre-date sanctions, since we have no way to verify when they were actually removed from the restricted location. In addition to complying with OFAC and applicable local laws, other countries may have their own trade restrictions and certain items may not be allowed for export or import under international laws. You should consult the laws of any jurisdiction when a transaction involves international parties. Third-party payment processors and the Custodians may independently monitor transactions for sanctions compliance and may block transactions as part of their own compliance programs. We have no authority or control over the independent decision-making of these providers. The economic sanctions and trade restrictions that apply to your use of our Services are subject to change, so you should check sanctions resources regularly. For legal advice, please consult a qualified professional.

12. TERMINATION.

Subject to your compliance with the Terms and all applicable laws, you may terminate the Terms at any time by canceling your Account with us and discontinuing your access to and use of our Services by sending us an email at support@swanbitcoin.com. We, in our sole discretion and for any or no reason, may terminate the Terms and suspend and/or terminate your Account with us and all our Services. Any suspension or termination of your access or use of your Account and/or our Services may be without prior notice, and that we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any such suspension or termination. If we terminate the Terms or suspend or terminate your access to or use of our Services due to your breach of the Terms or any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity, then termination of the Terms will be in addition to any other remedies we may have at law or in equity. Upon any termination or expiration of the Terms, whether by you or us you may no longer have access to information that you have posted in connection with our Services or that is related to your Account, and you acknowledge that we will have no obligation to maintain any such information in our databases or to forward any such information to you or to any third party. You will continue to have all rights related to the bitcoin custodied with a Custodian upon termination of the Terms. Sections 5 through 17 will survive the termination or expiration of the Terms for any reason.

YOU ACCEPT THE INHERENT SECURITY RISKS OF PROVIDING INFORMATION AND DEALING ONLINE OVER THE INTERNET AND AGREE THAT WE HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF SECURITY UNLESS IT IS DUE TO THE COMPANY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE. YOU WILL IMPLEMENT REASONABLE AND APPROPRIATE MEASURES DESIGNED TO SECURE ACCESS TO (A) ANY DEVICE ASSOCIATED WITH YOU AND UTILIZED IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR PURCHASE OR USE OF OUR SERVICES; AND (B) ANY OTHER USERNAME, PASSWORDS OR OTHER LOGIN OR IDENTIFYING CREDENTIALS.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

14.1 YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT NONE OF THE COMPANY PARTIES WILL BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES THAT YOU MAY INCUR, HOWSOEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOSS OF PROFITS (WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY), LOSS OF GOODWILL OR BUSINESS REPUTATION, LOSS OF DATA, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

14.4 YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE HAVE MADE OUR SERVICES AVAILABLE TO YOU AND ENTERED INTO THE TERMS IN RELIANCE UPON THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN, WHICH REFLECT A REASONABLE AND FAIR ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND YOU.

14.5 SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND SOME JURISDICTIONS ALSO LIMIT DISCLAIMERS OR LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY FROM CONSUMER PRODUCTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS.

15. NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR TRANSACTIONS WITH A CUSTODIAN.

We are not responsible for any transaction that occurs between you and a Custodian. If a Custodian fails to complete a purchase on your behalf on time or in the correct amount or any loss occurs with respect to bitcoin custodied with such Custodian, then we will not be liable for your losses or damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend and hold harmless and reimburse the Company Parties from and against any and all actions, proceedings, claims, damages, demands and actions (including without limitation fees and expenses of counsel), incurred by a Company Party arising from or relating to (a) your use of the Site or our Services; (b) your responsibilities or obligations under the Terms; (c) your breach of or violation of the Terms; (d) any inaccuracy in any of your representations or warranties; (e) your violation of any rights of any other person or entity, including any proprietary or privacy rights; (f) your violation of any law or regulation; and/or (g) any of your acts or omissions that are negligent, unlawful or constitutes willful misconduct.

The Company reserves the right to exercise sole control over the defense, at your expense, of any claim subject to indemnification under this Section 16. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and the Company.

17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

Please read the following ARBITRATION AGREEMENT carefully because it requires you to arbitrate ALL disputes with US and limits the manner in which you can seek relief.

17.1 You and the Company agree to resolve any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of the Terms or to the Services through confidential, final and binding arbitration.

17.2 The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute resolution provision. Arbitration shall be initiated through JAMS. Any arbitration shall be conducted (a) confidentially, (b) in English, (c) by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), (d) before a single arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes, (e) in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures; and (f) in Los Angeles County, California. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

17.3 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, INSTEAD ELECTING THAT ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and the Company in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, you and the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, waive all rights to a jury trial instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING TO ACCEPT THE TERMS TO ARBITRATE.

17.4 The Terms are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

17.5 You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed. TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN A PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. A CLAIMANT OR THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS OR ENGAGE IN ANY CLASS ARBITRATION OR JOINT LITIGATION. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY, ON A CLASS BASIS OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND WE ARE WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS REPRESENTATIVE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

18. EXTERNAL SITES.

The Site or our other Services may include hyperlinks or redirect you to other websites or resources (collectively, “External Sites”) that are provided solely as a convenience to you. We have no control over any External Sites. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the availability of any External Sites and that we do not endorse any advertising, products, services or other materials on or made available from any External Sites. Furthermore, you acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any loss or damage which may be incurred as a result of the availability or unavailability of the External Sites, or as a result of any reliance placed by you upon the completeness, accuracy or existence of any advertising, products, services or other materials on, or made available from, any External Sites.

19. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

The Terms, including the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the Services. The Terms, including the Privacy Policy, supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of the Terms. The Terms do not alter any agreement you have with a Custodian. In the event of any conflict between the Terms and any agreement with a Custodian, the terms of that other agreement will control only if the Terms are specifically identified and declared to be overridden.

20. PRIVACY POLICY.

The Privacy Policy describes the ways we collect, use, store and disclose your personal information. You agree to the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of your data in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
