2.7. USD Wallet. Your USD Wallet allows you to hold and transfer USD with your BODAX Account as described below. In general, we will combine the balance of your USD Wallet with other customers’ balances and either hold those funds in a custodial account at a U.S. FDIC-insured bank or invest those funds in liquid investments, such as U.S. treasuries, in accordance with state money transmitter laws. BODAX owns the interest or other earnings on these investments. Pooled customer funds are held apart from BODAX’s corporate funds and BODAX will neither use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes.

3.1. USD Funds. You can load funds into your USD Wallet from a valid bank account via ACH transfer or wire transfer. Your USD balance is in a pending state and will not be credited to your USD Wallet until after the bank transfer has cleared, usually with 5 business days. We may debit your linked bank account as soon as you initiate payment. The name on your linked bank account and your wire transfer must match the name verified on your BODAX Account.
3.2. Transactions on the BODAX Site. When you purchase (buy) or sell Digital Currency on the BODAX Site, you are not buying Digital Currency from BODAX or selling Digital Currency to BODAX. BODAX acts as the agent, transacting on your behalf, to facilitate that purchase or sale between you and other BODAX customers. You can purchase (buy) Digital Currency using: (a) funds in your USD Wallet, (b) Digital Currency held in certain Digital Currency Wallets, as permitted by BODAX, (c) a valid bank account in the name that matches the name on your BODAX Account, or (d) a debit or credit card that matches the name on your BODAX Account (each a "Valid Payment Method"). Your purchase must follow the relevant instructions on the BODAX Site. BODAX reserves the right to cancel any transaction not confirmed by you within five (5) seconds after BODAX quotes a transaction price. A purchase of Digital Currency using a Valid Payment Method generally will initiate on the business day we receive your instructions. Purchased Digital Currency will be deposited in your Digital Currency Wallet as soon as funds have settled to BODAX, which in the case of a bank account or credit or debit card may take up to five business days. You can sell Digital Currency and instruct BODAX to deposit funds into your BODAX USD Wallet or, where supported, a Digital Currency Wallet. Digital Currency purchases and sales are collectively referred to herein as “Digital Currency Transactions”. If BODAX cannot complete your Digital Currency Transaction for any reason (such as price movement, market latency, inability to find a counterparty for your transaction, or order size), BODAX will reject the order and notify you of such rejection. You will not be charged for a rejected transaction.
3.3. Fees. In general, BODAX makes money when you purchase or sell digital currency on our Site. A description of the BODAX fees for your BODAX Account can be found on our Pricing and Fees Disclosures page. By using BODAX Services you agree to pay all applicable fees. BODAX reserves the right to adjust its pricing and fees and any applicable waivers at any time. We will always notify you of the pricing and fees which apply to your transaction when you authorize the transaction and in each receipt we issue to you. We may charge network fees (miner fees) to process a Digital Currency Transaction on your behalf. We will calculate the network fee in our discretion, although we will always notify you of the network fee at or before the time you authorize the Digital Currency Transaction. Bank fees charged to BODAX are netted out of transfers to or from BODAX. You are responsible for paying any additional fees charged by your financial service provider. We will not process a transfer if associated bank fees exceed the value of the transfer. You may be required to deposit additional USD to cover bank fees if you desire to complete such a transfer.
3.4. Recurring Digital Currency Transactions. If you initiate recurring Digital Currency Transactions, you authorize us to initiate recurring electronic payments in accordance with your selected Digital Currency Transaction and any corresponding payment accounts, such as recurring automated clearing house (ACH) debit or credit entries from or to your linked bank account. Your recurring transactions will occur in periodic installments, based on your period selection (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly), until either you or BODAX cancels the recurring order. Recurring transactions scheduled for the 29th, 30th, or 31st day of a month will be processed the earlier of the date scheduled or on the last day of the applicable month. For example, recurring transactions scheduled for the 31st will be processed on the 30th in April, June, September, and November. Your recurring transaction will be executed within the 24-hour day on the transaction date. Transaction times may vary.
If you select a U.S. Bank Account as your payment method for a recurring transaction, and such transaction falls on a weekend or holiday, or after bank business hours, the ACH credit or debit will be executed on the next business day, although the Digital Currency fees at the time of the regularly-scheduled transaction will apply. If your Bank is unable to process any electronic ACH debit entry, we will notify you of cancellation of the transaction and may avail itself of remedies set forth in this User Agreement to recover any amount owed to BODAX. This authorization will remain in full force and effect until you change your recurring transaction settings by providing written notification via email by emailing: Support@BodaxExchange.com. You agree to notify BODAX in writing of any changes in your linked bank account information prior to a recurring transaction. BODAX may, at any time, suspend or delay recurring transactions without notice or terminate recurring transactions by providing notice to you.
3.5. Credit Transaction Payments. You may use the “Make A Payment” option on the BODAX Site from time to time to authorize payments for any credit transaction with us or any of our affiliates, including any amount owing pursuant to any credit agreement you may enter into with us or any of our affiliates, from time to time. With this option, you can authorize us or our affiliates to make a one-time charge to your linked deposit account through the ACH network (your “Preferred Payment Method”). You may select or approve the dollar amount and transaction date for each one-time payment you authorize using your Preferred Payment Method. We and our affiliates reserve the right to limit the amount and date of these one-time charges, screen transactions, and take other steps for our own risk management and business reasons. Although we or our affiliates will try to notify you if your depository institution is unable or unwilling to process any one-time charge using your Preferred Payment Method, you agree we are not required to do so and you are still required to make payments in the time and manner required by your credit agreement with us or any of our affiliates.
3.6. Revocation. When you give us instructions to purchase (buy) Digital Currency, you cannot withdraw your consent to that purchase unless the purchase is not scheduled to occur until a future date e.g. you set up a recurring purchase of Digital Currency (a "Future Transaction"). In the case of a Future Transaction, you may withdraw your consent up until the end of the business day before the date that the Future Transaction is scheduled to take place. To withdraw your consent to a Future Transaction, follow the instructions on the BODAX Site.
3.7. Unauthorized and Incorrect Transactions. When a Digital Currency or USD transaction occurs using your credentials, we will assume that you authorized such transaction, unless you notify us otherwise. If you believe you did not authorize a particular transaction or that a transaction was incorrectly carried out, you must contact us as soon as possible either by email free of charge at Support@BodaxExchange.com. It is important that you regularly check your USD Wallet and Digital Currency Wallet balances and your transaction history regularly to ensure you notify us as soon as possible of any unauthorized or incorrect transactions to. We are not responsible for any claim for unauthorized or incorrect transactions unless you have notified us in accordance with this section.
3.8. Account Information. You will be able to see your USD Wallet and Digital Currency Wallet balances using the BODAX Site. You can also see your transaction history using the BODAX Site, including (i) the amount (and currency) of each Digital Currency Transaction, (ii) a reference to the identify of the payer and/or payee (as appropriate), (iii) any fees charged (excluding any spread, or margin, over the prevailing market rate on BODAX’s trading platform), (iv) if applicable, the rate of exchange, and the amount (in the new currency) after exchange (where you are the payer) or the amount (in the original currency) before the exchange (where you are the payee), and (v) the date of each Digital Currency Transaction.
3.9. Consent to access, processing and storage of your personal data. You consent to us accessing, processing and retaining any personal information you provide to us for the purpose of us providing BODAX Services to you. This consent is not related to, and does not affect, any rights or obligations we or you have in accordance with data protection laws, privacy laws and regulations. You can withdraw your consent at any time by closing your account with us. However, we may retain and continue to process your personal information for other purposes. Please see our Privacy Policy for further information about how we process your personal data, and the rights you have in respect of this.
3.10. Reversals & Cancellations. You cannot cancel, reverse, or change any transaction marked as complete or pending. If your payment is not successful, if your payment method has insufficient funds, or if you reverse a payment made from funds in your bank account, you authorize BODAX, in its sole discretion, either to cancel the transaction or to debit your other payment methods, including your USD Wallet or Digital Currency Wallet balances or other linked accounts, in any amount necessary to complete the transaction. You are responsible for maintaining an adequate balance and/or sufficient credit limits in order to avoid overdraft, non-sufficient funds (NSF), or similar fees charged by your payment provider. We reserve the right to refuse to process, or to cancel or reverse, any Digital Currency Transaction or Transfers in our sole discretion, even after funds have been debited from your account(s), if we suspect the transaction involves (or has a high risk of involvement in) money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other type of financial crime; in response to a subpoena, court order, or other government order; if we reasonably suspect that the transaction is erroneous; or if BODAX suspects the transaction relates to Prohibited Use or a Prohibited Business as set forth below. In such instances, BODAX will reverse the transaction and we are under no obligation to allow you to reinstate a purchase or sale order at the same price or on the same terms as the cancelled transaction.
3.11. Payment Services Partners. BODAX may use a third party payment processor to process any US Dollar payment between you and BODAX, including but not limited to payments in relation to your use of the Digital Currency Transactions or deposits or withdrawals from your USD Wallet or BODAX Pro Account.
4. Digital Currency Transfers
4.1. In General. If you have sufficiently verified your identity, your Digital Currency Wallet enables you to send Supported Digital Currency to, and request, receive, and store Supported Digital Currency from, third parties by giving instructions through the BODAX Site. Your transfer of Supported Digital Currencies between your other digital currency wallets (including wallets off the BODAX Site) and to and from third parties is a “Digital Currency Transfer”.
4.2. Pending Transactions. Once a Digital Currency Transfer is submitted to a Digital Currency network, the transaction will be unconfirmed and remain in a pending state for a period of time sufficient to confirmation of the transaction by the Digital Currency network. A Digital Currency Transfer is not complete while it is in a pending state. Pending Digital Currency Transfers that are initiated from a BODAX Account will reflect a pending transaction status and are not available to you for use on the BODAX platform or otherwise while the transaction is pending.
4.3. Inbound Digital Currency Transfers. When you or a third party sends Digital Currency to a BODAX wallet from an external wallet not hosted on BODAX (“Inbound Transfers”), the person initiating the transaction is solely responsible for executing the transaction properly, which may include, among other things, payment of sufficient network or miner’s fees in order for the transaction to be successful. Insufficient network fees may cause an Inbound Transfer to remain in a pending state outside of BODAX’s control and we are not responsible for delays or loss incurred as a result of an error in the initiation of the transaction and have no obligation to assist in the remediation of such transactions. By initiating an Inbound Transfer, you attest that you are transacting in a Supported Digital Currency which conforms to the particular BODAX wallet into which funds are directed. For example, if you select an Ethereum wallet address to receive funds, you attest that you are initiating an Inbound Transfer of Ethereum alone, and not any other currency such as Bitcoin or Ethereum Classic. BODAX incurs no obligation whatsoever with regard to unsupported digital currency sent to a BODAX Account or Supported Digital Currency sent to an incompatible Digital Currency wallet. Erroneously transmitted funds will be lost. We recommend customers send a small amount of Supported Digital Currency as a test prior to initiating a send of a significant amount of Supported Digital Currency. BODAX may from time to time determine types of Digital Currency that will be supported or cease to be supported.
4.4. Outbound Digital Currency Transfers. When you send Digital Currency from your BODAX Account to an external wallet (“Outbound Transfers”), such transfers are executed at your instruction by BODAX. You should verify all transaction information prior to submitting instructions to us. BODAX shall bear no liability or responsibility in the event you enter an incorrect blockchain destination address. We do not guarantee the identity or value received by a recipient of an Outbound Transfer. Digital Currency Transfers cannot be reversed once they have been broadcast to the relevant Digital Currency network, although they may be in a pending state, and designated accordingly, while the transaction is processed by network operators. BODAX does not control the Digital Currency network and makes no guarantees that a Digital Currency Transfer will be confirmed by the network. We may refuse to process or cancel any pending Outbound Digital Currency Transfers as required by law or any court or other authority to which BODAX is subject in any jurisdiction. Additionally, we may require you to wait some amount of time after completion of a transaction before permitting you to use further BODAX Services and/or before permitting you to engage in transactions beyond certain volume limits.
4.5. Transfers to a Recipient Email Address. BODAX allows you to initiate a Digital Currency Transfer to a BODAX customer by designating that customer’s email address. If you initiate a Digital Currency Transfer to an email address, and the recipient does not have an existing BODAX Account, we will invite the recipient to open a BODAX Account. If the recipient does not open a BODAX Account within 30 days, we will return the relevant Digital Currency to your Digital Currency Wallet.
4.6. Third Party Merchants. We have no control over, or liability for, the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services that you may purchase from a third party (including other users of BODAX Digital Currency Services). We are not responsible for ensuring that a third party buyer or a seller you transact with will complete the transaction or is authorized to do so. If you experience a problem with any goods or services purchased from, or sold to, a third party using Digital Currency transferred using the BODAX Digital Currency Services, or if you have a dispute with such third party, you should resolve the dispute directly with that third party. If you believe a third party has behaved in a fraudulent, misleading, or inappropriate manner, or if you cannot adequately resolve a dispute with a third party, you may notify BODAX Support via email by emailing: Support@BodaxExchange.com so that we may consider what action to take, if any.
4.7. Debts. In the event that there are outstanding amounts owed to us hereunder, including in your BODAX Account, BODAX reserves the right to debit your BODAX Account or BODAX Pro Account accordingly and/or to withhold amounts from funds you may transfer from your BODAX Pro Account to your BODAX Account.

During such period you will retain all USDC Rewards previously accrued but not yet distributed. Such accrued rewards will be distributed as described below in the “Calculation” section. If at any time you are deemed ineligible, your enrollment in USDC Rewards will be similarly paused. You can opt-out of, or back into, USDC Rewards at any time by following the instructions here.

Our current USDC Rewards Annual Percentage Yield, which includes the effect of monthly compounding, can be found here and here. Rewards earned in a particular month are airdropped into your BODAX.com USDC wallet within 5 business days after the start of the next calendar month. USDC Rewards distributed to you are rounded-down to the nearest sixth decimal place. We use the Daily Balance Method to determine the rewards you earn for a particular day, using your average balance of USDC on that specific day as that day’s balance. The rate used to determine rewards earned for a particular day is the then current USDC Rewards Rate divided by 365.
5.3.3 Changes. We reserve the right to change the USDC Rewards Rate Annual Percentage Yield at any time by notification here and here and by other reasonable means of notice (including e-mail). Unless otherwise stated in the notice, no change will be effective until the first day of the calendar month after such notice is made.

Unless otherwise specified, if you opt-out of staking services, you can opt back in at any time with immediate effect.
5.4.2 The Service; Rewards; Commission; Limitations. (a) If you stake your assets with us, BODAX, or one of its affiliates, will facilitate the staking of those assets on your behalf by acting as a transaction validator on the applicable network for the Digital Currency you stake. If BODAX or an affiliate successfully validates a block of transactions in that Digital Currency, you may earn a reward granted by that Digital Currency’s network. Your reward will be determined by the protocols of the applicable network. BODAX will distribute any earned rewards to you after receipt by BODAX, minus a 25% commission. (b) Some Digital Currency networks subject staked assets to “slashing” if the transaction validator representing those assets incorrectly validates a transaction. BODAX will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that your assets will not be slashed, but in the unlikely event they are, BODAX will promptly replace your assets at no additional cost. Some Digital Currency networks require that a certain amount of staked assets be locked (restricted from sale or transfer) for a certain period of time while staking. BODAX may also have additional sale or withdrawal limitations for particular staked assets if you are opted-in to staking.
5.4.3 No Guarantee of Rewards. You have no right to a reward until it is received by BODAX. Rewards will be distributed to your account promptly after they are received by BODAX. Unless otherwise stated, BODAX will use commercially reasonable efforts to stake any Digital Currencies for which you are using BODAX staking services. Unless otherwise specified, the “staking rewards rate” disclosed by BODAX for a particular Digital Currency is an annualized historical rate based on the staking rewards generated by BODAX in providing staking services to BODAX customers for that Digital Currency over the last 90 days. This rate is an estimate and changes over time. BODAX DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE STAKING REWARDS, ANY SPECIFIC STAKING REWARD, OR ANY STAKING RETURN OVER TIME, INCLUDING THE STAKING REWARDS RATES.
5.4.4 Tax Treatment. The tax treatment of certain Digital Currency transactions is uncertain, and it is your responsibility to determine what taxes, if any, arise from these transactions. Users are solely responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes arising from staking through BODAX staking services and all related transactions (e.g., any exchange or sale of your staked ETH), and acknowledge that BODAX does not provide investment, legal, or tax advice to you in connection with such election to participate. You should conduct your own due diligence and consult your advisors before making any investment decision including whether to participate in staking and related transactions.
5.4.5 Ethereum Staking. Supplemental to the terms outlined above, the following terms apply to staking your ETH through the BODAX staking services. In the event of a conflict between the terms contained in this section and anything else in this Agreement, the terms in this section will govern:
(a) Eligibility. Users who wish to stake ETH through BODAX must meet certain requirements, as set forth here. These requirements are subject to change.
(b) Lockup Period. If you choose to stake your ETH, your ETH will be pledged for staking and will become locked on the Ethereum protocol until Phase 1.5 of the Ethereum network upgrade is completed. BODAX has no control over the duration of or end date for the lockup period, which will ultimately be determined by the success of the update to the Ethereum network. Unlike other staking services provided through BODAX, you will be unable to “Opt Out” of ETH staking once you’ve staked your assets. BODAX will not refund or replace any ETH you wish to unstake. Unless otherwise stated on the BODAX interface, you will not be able to trade, transfer or otherwise access your staked ETH during the lockup period.
(c) No Guarantee of Success of Network Upgrade. BODAX makes no guarantees that the upgrade to the Ethereum network will be successful, and you understand that if the network upgrade ultimately fails, you may lose all, or a portion of, your staked ETH. BODAX will not be responsible for any ETH lost due to a network upgrade failure.
(d) Ethereum Staking Rewards. Any rewards earned while staking your ETH through BODAX will, unless otherwise stated, remain locked on chain until Phase 1.5 of the Ethereum network upgrade is completed. ETH staking rewards reflected in your account prior to the completion of Phase 1.5 of the Ethereum network upgrade are an estimate based on a combination of reward rates and the period of time for which you’ve staked your ETH (minus any BODAX fees). Rewards will be reflected in your account, but may not be actually credited until the end of the lockup period. Unless otherwise stated, you will not be able to trade, transfer, or otherwise access your ETH staking rewards during the lockup period.
(e) Slashing Penalties. Staking ETH means your staked assets can be subject to “slashing” by the Ethereum network if the transaction validator representing those assets incorrectly validates a transaction. BODAX will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect against slashing incidents: however, in the event of slashing, BODAX will replace your assets so long as such penalties are not a result of: i) protocol-level failures caused by bugs, maintenance, upgrades, or general failure; ii) your acts or omissions; iii) acts or omissions of any third party service provider; iv) a force majeure event as defined in Section 9.11 of the User Agreement; v) acts by a hacker or other malicious actor; or vi) any other events outside of BODAX’s reasonable control.
(f) Liquidity. BODAX may offer you the ability to exchange or sell your staked ETH prior to the completion of Phase 1.5 of the Ethereum network upgrade. BODAX does not guarantee that the offering of any such option will result in a successful exchange or sale, and BODAX will not backstop or otherwise intervene to guarantee liquidity. In the event that you take advantage of any offered ability to exchange or sell your staked ETH, BODAX does not guarantee the value of your ETH principal or related rewards. Accessing your locked ETH may result in a loss of any rewards accrued until that point. BODAX is not responsible for any decrease in the value of your staked ETH principal or any rewards associated with allowing you the ability to exchange or sell your staked ETH.
5.5 Advanced Trading. BODAX offers and you may access an order book for various Digital Currency and Fiat Currency trading pairs (each an “Order Book”) on the BODAX Site (“Advanced Trading”). See your BODAX Account to see what Order Books are available within Advanced Trading. BODAX does not offer Advanced Trading to customers in all jurisdictions. By accessing Advanced Trading or the BODAX API for Advanced Trading, you accept and agree to be bound by the Trading Rules.

8.2. Formal Complaint Process. If you have a dispute with BODAX (a “Complaint”), you agree to contact BODAX through our support team to attempt to resolve any such dispute amicably. If we cannot resolve the dispute through the BODAX support team, you and we agree to use the Formal Complaint Process set forth below. You agree to use this process before filing any arbitration claim or small claims action. If you do not follow the procedures set out in this Section before filing an arbitration claim or suit in small claims court, we shall have the right to ask the arbitrator or small claims court to dismiss your filing unless and until you complete the following steps.
8.2.1. Procedural Steps. In the event that your dispute with BODAX is not resolved through your contact with BODAX Support, you agree to use our Complaint form to describe your Complaint, how you would like us to resolve the Complaint, and any other information related to your dispute that you believe to be relevant. To request a complaint form please contact us via email at support@bodaxexchange.com. If you would prefer to send a written complaint instead of virtual, please include as much information as possible, including your support case number and any other information related to your dispute that you believe to be relevant, and post to BODAX LIMITED, LLC. 6061 FEATHER LANE. SANFORD, FL 32771
8.2.2. BODAX Response. We will acknowledge receipt of your Complaint form after you submit it. A BODAX customer relations agent ("Agent") will review your Complaint. The Agent will evaluate your Complaint based on the information you have provided and information in the possession of BODAX. Within 15 business days of our receipt of your Complaint form, the Agent will address the issues raised in your Complaint form by sending you an e-mail ("Resolution Notice") in which the Agent will: (i) offer to resolve your complaint in the way you requested; (ii) make a determination rejecting your Complaint and set out the reasons for the rejection; or (iii) offer to resolve your Complaint with an alternative solution. In exceptional circumstances, if the Agent is unable to respond to your Complaint within 15 business days for reasons beyond BODAX's control, the Agent will send you a communication indicating the reasons for any delay in answering your Complaint, and specifying the deadline by which the Agent will respond to your Complaint, which will be no later than 35 business days from our receipt of your Complaint form.
8.3. Arbitration; Waiver of Class Action. If we cannot resolve the dispute through the Formal Complaint Process, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the BODAX Services, including, without limitation, federal and state statutory claims, common law claims, and those based in contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, shall be resolved through binding arbitration, on an individual basis (the “Arbitration Agreement”). Subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, you may elect to pursue your claim in your local small claims court rather than through arbitration so long as your matter remains in small claims court and proceeds only on an individual (non-class and non-representative) basis. Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes (accessible at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf).
This Arbitration Agreement includes, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement. All such matters shall be decided by an arbitrator and not by a court or judge.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, ALL CLAIMS 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 (COLLECTIVELY “CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS OR ENGAGE IN ANY CLASS ARBITRATION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU AND BODAX ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator and shall take place in the county or parish in which you reside, or another mutually agreeable location, in the English language. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award and the arbitral decision may be enforced in any court. An arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon will not have a precedential or collateral estoppel effect. At your request, hearings may be conducted in person or by telephone and the arbitrator may provide for submitting and determining motions on briefs, without oral hearings. To the extent permitted by law, the prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement, any arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, or any small claims action shall be entitled to costs and attorneys' fees. If the arbitrator or arbitration administrator would impose filing fees or other administrative costs on you, we will reimburse you, upon request, to the extent such fees or costs would exceed those that you would otherwise have to pay if you were proceeding instead in a court. We will also pay additional fees or costs if required to do so by the arbitration administrator's rules or applicable law.
9. General Provisions

9.3. Limitation of Liability; No Warranty. IN NO EVENT SHALL BODAX, ITS AFFILIATES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, JOINT VENTURERS, EMPLOYEES OR REPRESENTATIVES, BE LIABLE (A) FOR ANY AMOUNT GREATER THAN THE VALUE OF THE SUPPORTED DIGITAL CURRENCY ON DEPOSIT IN YOUR BODAX ACCOUNT(S) OR (B) FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, CORRUPTION OR BREACH OF DATA OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE PROPERTY OR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, INTANGIBLE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH AUTHORIZED OR UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE BODAX SITE OR THE BODAX SERVICES, OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF BODAX HAS BEEN ADVISED OF OR KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF A FINAL JUDICIAL DETERMINATION THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE A RESULT OF BODAX’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR INTENTIONAL VIOLATION OF LAW. THIS MEANS, BY WAY OF EXAMPLE ONLY (AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE SCOPE OF THE PRECEDING SENTENCE), THAT IF YOU CLAIM THAT BODAX FAILED TO PROCESS A BUY OR SELL TRANSACTION PROPERLY, YOUR DAMAGES ARE LIMITED TO NO MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE SUPPORTED DIGITAL CURRENCY AT ISSUE IN THE TRANSACTION, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT RECOVER FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR OTHER TYPES OF SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, INTANGIBLE, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE VALUE OF THE SUPPORTED DIGITAL CURRENCY AT ISSUE IN THE TRANSACTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
THE BODAX SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BODAX SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND/OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

BODAX DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY ORDER WILL BE EXECUTED, ACCEPTED, RECORDED OR REMAIN OPEN. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS STATEMENTS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NOT RELIED UPON ANY OTHER STATEMENT OR UNDERSTANDING, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT TO YOUR USE AND ACCESS OF THE BODAX SERVICES AND BODAX SITE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YOU HEREBY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BODAX WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO: (A) ANY INACCURACY, DEFECT OR OMISSION OF DIGITAL CURRENCY PRICE DATA, (B) ANY ERROR OR DELAY IN THE TRANSMISSION OF SUCH DATA, OR (C) INTERRUPTION IN ANY SUCH DATA.
