4.2 Non-Custodial Services

The Services are non-custodial in nature. When you deposit, store, or transfer Digital Assets using the Services, you retain full control and ownership of your Digital Assets at all times. Cronos does not have access to your Codes or other credentials that control access to your Digital Assets. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your Codes.

You acknowledge and agree that Cronos does not hold, control, or custody your Digital Assets on your behalf, and that the loss of your Codes may result in the permanent and irreversible loss of access to your Digital Assets.

4.3 Hard Forks, Airdrops, and Similar Events

From time to time, Accessible Blockchain Networks may undergo protocol changes, including hard forks, soft forks, airdrops, token migrations, or similar events (each, a "Network Event") that may result in the creation of new or duplicate Digital Assets, the modification of existing Digital Assets, or the distribution of additional Digital Assets to holders of Supported Digital Assets.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Cronos is under no obligation to support, enable access to, or facilitate the claiming of any new or forked Digital Assets, airdropped tokens, or other assets arising from a Network Event;
• Cronos may, in its sole discretion, determine whether to support any Digital Asset arising from a Network Event, and such determination may be made at any time and without prior notice to you;
• Cronos shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or diminution in value arising from or in connection with any Network Event, including but not limited to the inability to access, claim, or transact in any Digital Asset created or affected by such event;
• as the Services are non-custodial, you retain the ability to access any Digital Assets arising from a Network Event directly through the relevant Accessible Blockchain Network using your own Codes, independently of the Services; and
• a Network Event may temporarily or permanently disrupt the Services, and Cronos may suspend access to affected Digital Assets or features during or following a Network Event until such time as Cronos determines, in its sole discretion, that the relevant Accessible Blockchain Network is stable and secure.

You are solely responsible for monitoring Network Events and taking any action necessary to claim, secure, or protect your Digital Assets in connection therewith. Cronos makes no representation or warranty regarding the safety, value, or functionality of any Digital Asset arising from a Network Event.

4.4 Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to, and shall not permit any third party to, engage in any of the following activities in connection with the Services:

• using any automated means, including bots, scrapers, crawlers, or similar tools, to access or interact with the Services without our express written consent;
• reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, or otherwise attempting to derive the source code of the App or any component thereof;
• removing, altering, or obscuring any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice on or within the Services;

4.5 Enforcement

Cronos reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to investigate, restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the Services, and to take any other action we deem appropriate (including reporting to law enforcement authorities), if we reasonably suspect that you have engaged in any Prohibited Conduct or otherwise violated these Terms.

Without limiting the foregoing, Cronos may employ technical measures, including but not limited to IP address monitoring, geolocation verification, and blockchain analytics, to detect and prevent violations of these Terms.

5.1 Service Fees

We may charge fees for some or all of the Services. Such fees may be subject to change at our sole discretion. Applicable fees are disclosed at the time you access the relevant Service and/or are published on the Site or within the App. It is your responsibility to review the applicable fees before initiating any Transaction.

5.2 Third-Party Fees

You may incur charges from third parties in connection with your use of the Services, including but not limited to:

• network fees (commonly referred to as "gas fees") charged by Accessible Blockchain Networks for processing Transactions;
• fees charged by Accessible Protocols for use of their services;
• fees charged by third-party payment processors for Fiat Currency transactions; and
• fees charged by your internet service provider, mobile carrier, or other telecommunications provider.

Such third-party fees are not charged by Cronos and are your sole responsibility. Cronos has no control over and makes no representations regarding the amount, timing, or applicability of any third-party fees.

5.3 Fee Changes

We reserve the right to modify our fee schedule at any time. Where practicable, we will provide you with reasonable advance notice of any material changes to our fees. Your continued use of the Services following any fee change constitutes your acceptance of the revised fees.

5.4 No Refunds

Except as required by Applicable Law or as expressly provided in these Terms, all fees and charges paid to Cronos are final and non-refundable. Network fees and other third-party fees are non-refundable under all circumstances, as they are incurred on the relevant blockchain network or by the relevant third party and are not within Cronos's control.

5.5 Taxes

You are solely responsible for determining and paying all Taxes applicable to your use of the Services, including any Taxes arising from Transactions conducted through the Services. Cronos does not provide tax advice and makes no representation regarding the tax treatment of any Transaction. You are advised to seek independent professional tax advice.

You agree to indemnify and hold Cronos harmless from any claim, liability, or penalty arising from your failure to report or pay any applicable Taxes.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE USE OF THE SERVICES AND DIGITAL ASSETS INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISKS. THE FOLLOWING IS A NON-EXHAUSTIVE SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SERVICES. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER THE USE OF THE SERVICES IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND RISK TOLERANCE.

6.1 Market and Price Risk

Digital Assets are highly volatile and their value may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. The price of Digital Assets can be affected by numerous factors including, without limitation, supply and demand, market sentiment, regulatory developments, technological changes, macroeconomic conditions, and speculative activity. You may suffer substantial or total loss of your Digital Assets.

6.2 Liquidity Risk

Markets for Digital Assets may be illiquid or fragmented. There is no assurance that you will be able to buy or sell Digital Assets at a desired price or time. Market depth may be insufficient to execute Transactions without significant price impact, and trading conditions may change without notice.

6.3 Regulatory Risk

The regulatory framework applicable to Digital Assets and blockchain technology is evolving and uncertain. Changes in Applicable Law or regulatory policy may adversely affect the Services, the value or legality of Digital Assets, or your ability to access or use the Services. Cronos may be required to modify, restrict, or discontinue the Services in response to regulatory changes.

6.4 Technology and Security Risks

The Services rely on complex technology, including blockchain networks, cryptographic protocols, and smart contracts. These technologies may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or errors that could result in the loss of Digital Assets or the disruption of Services. You acknowledge the following technology risks:

• cyberattacks, hacking, phishing, and social engineering attacks targeting your Account, wallet, or devices;
• failures or vulnerabilities in the underlying blockchain networks, consensus mechanisms, or cryptographic algorithms;
• smart contract bugs, exploits, or failures that may result in the loss or freezing of Digital Assets;
• hardware or software malfunctions, including failures of devices on which the App is installed; and
• telecommunications failures, internet outages, or network congestion that may prevent you from accessing the Services or executing Transactions.

6.5 Smart Contract Risk

Accessible Protocols and other Smart Contracts accessible through the Services are typically open-source, autonomous, and not controlled by Cronos. Smart Contracts may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or design flaws that could result in the loss of Digital Assets, unintended behaviour, or exploitation by malicious actors. Cronos does not audit, verify, or guarantee the security or functionality of any Smart Contract.

6.6 DeFi Protocol-Specific Risks

Where the Services provide access to Accessible Protocols that offer decentralised finance functionalities (including but not limited to liquidity provision, lending, borrowing, yield farming, and token swapping), you acknowledge and accept the following additional risks:

• Impermanent Loss: If you provide liquidity to any decentralised exchange or automated market maker protocol accessible through the Services, you may suffer impermanent loss (also known as divergence loss), which occurs when the relative price of the Digital Assets in a liquidity pool changes after you have deposited them. Impermanent loss may result in a reduction in the value of your deposited Digital Assets compared to simply holding those assets, and such loss may become permanent upon withdrawal from the pool. The magnitude of impermanent loss depends on the extent of price divergence and the design of the protocol, and may be substantial;
• Oracle Risk: Many Accessible Protocols rely on price oracles or data feeds to obtain external data (including Digital Asset prices) that determine the execution of Smart Contract functions, including liquidations, collateral valuations, and exchange rates. Oracles may provide inaccurate, delayed, or manipulated data due to technical failures, network congestion, data source errors, or deliberate exploitation by malicious actors. Oracle failures or manipulation may result in incorrect liquidations, unfavourable trade execution, loss of collateral, or other adverse outcomes for which Cronos bears no responsibility;
• Governance Attack Risk: Certain Accessible Protocols are governed by decentralised governance mechanisms, including token-weighted voting. Such protocols may be subject to governance attacks, whereby a single actor or coordinated group acquires sufficient governance tokens to pass malicious proposals, alter protocol parameters, drain treasury funds, or otherwise act to the detriment of other protocol participants. Cronos does not monitor, participate in, or exercise any control over the governance of any Accessible Protocol, and shall not be liable for any loss arising from a governance attack or adverse governance decision;
• Composability and Contagion Risk: DeFi protocols often interact with and depend upon other protocols (commonly referred to as "composability" or "money legos"). A failure, exploit, or liquidity crisis in one protocol may cascade to other interconnected protocols, resulting in widespread losses that extend beyond the initially affected protocol. Cronos makes no representation regarding the interdependencies between Accessible Protocols; and
• Rug Pull and Project Abandonment Risk: Certain Accessible Protocols or Digital Assets accessible through the Services may be created by anonymous or pseudonymous developers who may, without warning, abandon the project, withdraw pooled liquidity, disable Smart Contract functions, or otherwise act in a manner that results in the total loss of Digital Assets deposited or held within such protocol. Cronos does not vet, endorse, or guarantee the legitimacy, longevity, or good faith of any third-party project, protocol, or token accessible through the Services.

Cronos does not audit, verify, monitor, or guarantee the security, functionality, economic design, or governance of any Accessible Protocol. Your interaction with any Accessible Protocol is entirely at your own risk, and you should conduct your own research and due diligence before engaging with any DeFi protocol or depositing Digital Assets therein.

6.7 Flash Crash Risk

Digital Asset markets may experience sudden, severe price movements ("flash crashes") caused by large orders, algorithmic trading errors, market manipulation, or liquidity gaps. Such events may occur without warning and may result in the execution of Transactions at prices significantly different from prevailing market prices.

6.8 Delisting Risk

Cronos may, at its sole discretion, delist or cease support for any Digital Asset at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to regulatory changes, security concerns, lack of liquidity, or project abandonment. You may need to transfer delisted Digital Assets to an external wallet within a specified timeframe or risk losing access to them through the Services.

6.9 Self-Custodial Risk

As the Services are non-custodial, you are solely responsible for the security of your Codes. If you lose your Codes, or if they are stolen or compromised, you will permanently lose access to your Digital Assets. Cronos cannot recover lost Codes and cannot reverse or cancel Transactions that have been broadcast to a blockchain network.

6.10 No Guarantee of Returns

Nothing in the Services, the Site, or any materials published by Cronos constitutes financial, investment, tax, or other professional advice. Past performance of Digital Assets is not indicative of future results. There is no guarantee that you will earn any return on your Digital Assets or that the value of your Digital Assets will be preserved.

6.11 Acknowledgement of Risks

By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the risks described in this Section 6, and that you accept and assume all such risks. You further acknowledge that additional risks may exist that are not described herein, and you agree that Cronos shall not be liable for any loss arising from any risk, whether described herein or not.

You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Any claim or cause of action not commenced within such period shall be permanently barred, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

10.5 Survival

This Section 10 shall survive the termination or expiry of these Terms and shall continue to bind the parties with respect to any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms.

11.1 Amendments

Cronos reserves the right to amend, modify, supplement, or replace these Terms at any time and at its sole discretion. Any amendments shall take effect upon the posting of the revised Terms on the Site or within the App, unless a later effective date is specified.

Where practicable, we will provide you with reasonable advance notice of material amendments through the App, by email, or by other means we deem appropriate. It is your responsibility to review the Terms periodically for any changes.

Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to be bound by the amended Terms. If you do not agree with any amendment, your sole remedy is to discontinue your use of the Services and close your Account.

11.2 Termination by You

You may terminate your Account and these Terms at any time by ceasing to use the Services and, where applicable, closing your Account in accordance with the procedures set out in the App or on the Site. Termination shall not release you from any obligations incurred prior to the effective date of termination, including but not limited to payment of any outstanding fees.

11.3 Termination by Cronos

Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to Cronos, we may restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the Services and/or your Account, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice, and with or without cause, including but not limited to:

• if you breach or we reasonably suspect that you have breached any provision of these Terms;
• if you fail to complete any required identity verification procedure;
• if we are required to do so by Applicable Law, regulatory guidance, or order of a court or governmental authority;
• if we determine that your Account is associated with any Prohibited Conduct, a Restricted Location, or a sanctions-listed person or entity;
• if we discontinue or materially modify all or any part of the Services;
• for security reasons or to protect the integrity of the Services or other users; or
• for any other reason at our sole discretion.

Upon termination of your Account or these Terms, for any reason:

• your licence to access and use the Services shall immediately terminate;
• you must immediately cease all use of the Services;
• you remain responsible for transferring any Digital Assets held in your Wallet to an external address prior to termination, to the extent technically possible;
• Cronos shall have no obligation to maintain, store, or make available any data, Digital Assets, or information associated with your Account following termination; and
• any provisions of these Terms that by their nature are intended to survive termination shall continue in full force and effect, including without limitation Sections 5 (Fees and Charges), 6 (Risk Disclosures), 7 (Intellectual Property), 9 (Limitation of Liability and Disclaimers), 10 (Dispute Resolution and Governing Law), and this Section 11.4.

11.5 Transfer and Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Cronos. Any purported assignment, transfer, or delegation in violation of this Section shall be null and void.

Cronos may freely assign, transfer, or delegate its rights and obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, to any Affiliate or to any successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, without notice to or consent from you.

11.6 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitral tribunal, such provision shall be severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving the original intent of the parties.

11.7 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Notice and any other documents expressly incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Cronos with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, and warranties, whether written or oral, with respect to such subject matter.

11.8 Waiver

No failure or delay by Cronos in exercising any right, power, or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in these Terms are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

11.9 Third Party Rights

Save for the Cronos Parties (who shall have the right to enforce any provision of these Terms that confers a benefit on them), a person who is not a party to these Terms shall have no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Cap. 623 of the Laws of Hong Kong) to enforce any provision of these Terms.

11.10 Notices

All notices, requests, and other communications from Cronos to you under these Terms may be given by email to the address associated with your Account, by posting on the Site or within the App, or by such other means as we may determine from time to time.
