2. DESCRIPTION OF OUR SERVICES
We provide an online trading platform to trade VFAs (or also known as virtual financial assets, cryptographic tokens or digital tokens or cryptographic currency) and derivatives linked to VFAs or indices thereof. Buyers and sellers conduct trading on our platform with each other; WitEx as the platform provider is not a buyer or seller in these transactions. Users may request the withdrawal of their VFAs, subject to the limitations as stated in the Terms. Users will be able to access their VFAs in their wallets, which are held and safe-kept by WitEx, a New Zealand registered company.
WitEx provides the User with trading services including:
1. An order matching platform that automatically, and according to pre-established criteria, matches users’ trades with open orders from other users in respect of VFAs or VFA linked products:
· Spot Services permit You to trade one type of VFA for another type of VFA. You will not be able to predetermine or undertake a trade with a predetermined user. Similarly, an order may be partially filled or may be filled by multiple matching orders arising from different users.
· Additional Services permit You to trade derivative products linked to VFAs or indices composed of them. These trades are via an order matching platform that automatically, and according to pre-established criteria, match users’ trades with open orders from other users. You will not be able to predetermine or undertake a trade with a pre-determined user.
2. C2C– a Peer to Peer matching service, allowing users to exchange their fiat and digital assets. Users are able to buy and sell VFAs from each other without the need of a centralized trusted third party such as an exchange.
3. Margin Lending – a Peer to Peer lending service, allowing users to borrow/lend VFAs to one another and earn interest.
4. Digital Wallet – WitEx also offers its users a digital wallet enabling each user to store VFAs that are traded via the exchange services or the C2C Digital Assets deposited or acquired by You through the WitEx order matching platform or the C2C platform will be held by WitEx in the digital wallet maintained by WitEx on your behalf. WitEx offers this service in order to expedite and facilitate acquisitions and/or disposal of VFAs. WitEx shall be regarded as holding such VFAs on your behalf and shall recognise you as the beneficial owner of any VFAs held in your digital wallet. WitEx will not use your VFAs as security or in any way make use of your VFAs, other than as lawfully directed by you and with your prior authorisation. VFAs held by WitEx on your behalf may be pooled with those of other Users.
By accepting the Terms, you expressly agree to the pooling of your VFAs with the VFAs of other Users. Individual User entitlements may not be identifiable by separate physical documents of title or other electronic record and, in the case of an irreconcilable shortfall, you may not receive your full entitlement and may share in the shortfall pro rata. You represent and warrant that you are, and shall remain at all times, the ultimate and effective legal and beneficial owner of any VFAs held by WitEx, that you shall not act as nominee or trustee for any other person and that you shall not transfer, assign, pledge, charge or otherwise create any security interest or encumbrance whatsoever over such VFAs without the prior written consent of WitEx.
WitEx, as applicable, shall not be obliged to accept orders unless sufficient VFAs are available on the account for (a) the settlement of the relevant order, (b) the provision of margin as may be required in respect of relevant transaction in derivatives, and (c) the payment of any related Charges and expenses as applicable.

3. RISK DISCLOSURE
Trading of VFAs involves significant risk. The risk of loss in trading or holding VFAs can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether using the Spot Services or Additional Services is suitable for You in light of your financial condition.
There is no assurance that our trading market for VFAs will be orderly and stable. You should exercise prudence in trading in VFAs (as well as any other assets). Prices can and do fluctuate at any given moment for any reason. Due to such price fluctuations, You may gain or lose value in your assets at any given moment. Any VFA or trading position may be subject to large swings in value and may even become worthless.
The User shall bear any loss resulted in his/her own fault or error, including but not limited to: not in accordance with the transaction prompts operation, not timely trading operations, forgetting or leakage of passwords, passwords are cracked, and/or the Users computer is invaded or hacked by others.
In the event of a potential loophole in the trading rules that unjustly enriches the User, we will contact the User to recover the gains. The User must effectively cooperate, otherwise, we will take actions, including, but not limited to restrictions on account transactions, freezing account funds, prosecution of the User in a court with right of jurisdiction and other recourse measures. In the event that the User does not cooperate, the User will also bear recourse costs.
Additional Services may have incremental risk factors. Please note that:
· You may sustain a total loss of initial margin and any additional VFAs deposited with us to maintain your position;
· If the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased you may be requested to transfer additional VFAs on short notice to maintain your position;
· If you fail to comply with a request for the additional transfer of VFAs to your account within the time prescribed, we may at our sole discretion liquidate any or all of your positions at a loss;
· Whether you make a profit or a loss will depend on fluctuations in the price of the respective VFA;
· We may trigger socialised clawback mechanism to take a portion of your gain to cover the shortfall, as described in User Agreement. More information can be found at the following link: https://www.witex.io/support/hc/en-us/articles/360000139652
