You agree and consent to receive electronically all communications, agreements, documents, receipts, notices and disclosures (collectively, "Communications") that Solster provides in connection with your Solster Account and/or use of the Solster Services. You agree that Solster may provide these Communications to you by posting them via the Services, by emailing them to you at the email address you provide, and/or by sending an SMS or text message to a mobile phone number that you provide. Your carrier's normal messaging, data and other rates and fees may apply to any mobile Communications. You should maintain copies of electronic Communications by printing a paper copy or saving an electronic copy. You may also contact us through email support to request additional electronic copies of Communications or, for a fee, paper copies of Communications (as described below).
2. Hardware and Software Requirements. In order to access and retain electronic Communications, you will need a computer with an Internet connection that has a current web browser with cookies enabled and 128-bit encryption. You will also need to have a valid email address on file with Solster and have sufficient storage space to save past Communications or an installed printer to print them.
3. Withdrawal of Consent. You may withdraw your consent to receive electronic Communications by sending a withdrawal notice to support. If you decline or withdraw consent to receive electronic Communications, Solster may suspend or terminate your use of the Services. Unsubscribe requests submitted on general email may take up to 10 business days to process.
4. Requesting Paper Copies. If, after you consent to receive Communications electronically, you would like a paper copy of a Communication we previously sent you, you may request a copy within 30 days after the date we provided the Communication to you by contacting support. In order for us to send paper copies to you, you must have a current street address on file with Solster. Please note that Solster operates exclusively online and it is very burdensome for us to produce paper copies of Communications. Therefore, if you request paper copies, you understand and agree that Solster may charge you a processing fee, in the amount described in the Fee Schedule, for each page of Communication requested.
5. Updating Contact Information. It is your responsibility to keep your email address and/or mobile phone number on file with Solster up to date so that Solster can communicate with you electronically. You understand and agree that if Solster sends you an electronic Communication but you do not receive it because your email address or mobile phone number on file is incorrect, out of date, blocked by your service provider, or you are otherwise unable to receive electronic Communications, Solster will be deemed to have provided the Communication to you. Please note that if you use a spam filter that blocks or re-routes emails from senders not listed in your email address book, you must add Solster to your email address book so that you will be able to receive the Communications we send to you. You can update your email address, mobile phone number or street address at any time by logging into your Solster Account or by sending such information to support. If your email address or mobile phone number becomes invalid such that electronic Communications sent to you by Solster are returned, Solster may deem your account to be inactive, and you may not be able to complete any transaction via our Services until we receive a valid, working email address or mobile phone number from you.
13. Unclaimed Property
If for any reason Solster is holding Funds in your Solster Account on your behalf, and Solster is unable to return your Funds to your designated External Account after a period of inactivity, then Solster may report and remit such Funds in accordance with applicable state unclaimed property laws.

26. Jurisdiction-specific Legal Disclosures
Solster maintains licenses and registrations in certain jurisdictions to provide you our Services. These licenses or registrations may impact our provision and your use of our services depending on where you live or are domiciled. Information regarding certain of Solster’s licenses and registrations, or lack thereof, and corresponding disclosures can be found on the Solster website, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By creating a Solster account, you acknowledge that you have read, understand and agree to those disclosures that are applicable to you.
Disclosure Statement
We are furnishing this document to you to provide some basic facts about purchasing digital assets and to alert you to the risks involved with trading digital assets. Before trading assets, you should carefully review this disclosure statement. Please contact us through support regarding any questions or concerns you may have with your margin accounts.
When you purchase new digital assets (STR) for existing digital assets or vice versa, you may pay in full with your own funds or by posting assets in your account as collateral, with funds (stakes) provided by Solster to you. If the collateral supporting your transaction declines in value by an amount specified by Solster, you authorize Solster to issue a margin call and/or sell assets in your account, in order to maintain equity in the account that meets or exceeds the minimum margin requirement.
It is important that you fully understand the unique risks involved in transacting in digital assets before determining whether such trading is appropriate for you. These risks include the following:
● Using STR to support spot transactions poses a high degree of financial risk and is not suitable for everyone. The use of leverage can work against you as well as for you and can lead to large losses as well as gains. You should examine your financial objectives, financial resources and risk tolerance to determine whether receiving STR against the assets in your Solster Account is appropriate for you.
● You can rapidly lose all of the funds you deposit for trading and may lose more funds than you deposit in your Solster account. The prices of digital assets are highly volatile and a decline in the value of assets that are purchased or sold may require you to provide additional funds to us, on short notice or with no notice, to avoid the automatic liquidation of assets in your account(s).
● You authorize us to sell assets in your account without further notice to you. If the equity in your account falls below our margin requirements to offer you STR, you authorize Solster to sell assets in your account to cover the deficiency. You will be responsible for any shortfall in the account after such a sale. As Digital Asset markets, are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, calls and liquidations may occur at any time, including outside of normal business hours.
● You authorize us to sell your assets without contacting you. Do not mistakenly believe that we must contact you for a transaction call to be valid, and that we may not liquidate assets in your account unless we have contacted you first. This is not the case. We will attempt to notify you of transaction calls, but we are not required to do so specifically other than what is shown to you on screen during the transaction of STR. Moreover, even if we have contacted you and provided a specific date by which you must meet a transaction balance, we may still immediately sell assets in your account without notice to you and without waiting for the specific date to meet a requirement.
● We can increase maintenance requirements with advance notice. The maintenance requirements may result in the issuance of a maintenance call. Your failure to satisfy the call may cause us to liquidate or sell assets in your account(s). We are not responsible for delays in the release of funds intended to satisfy the call, including but not limited to internal holds on funds exceeding verification limits, delays in the transfer of funds from external accounts maintained by third-party financial institutions, and failure of proper routing of funds through financial networks. The funds will not count towards meeting the maintenance requirements until the funds are released. These are most applicable in case of staking rewards and locking of funds during the staking period or during the period the offer of premium services under the STR platform are offered against utilising STR tokens.
ADDENDUM: STANDARD THIRD PARTY TERMS

As part of using your personal information for the purposes set out above, the Company may disclose your personal information to the following:
○ Any members of the Company, which means that any of our affiliates and subsidiaries may receive such information;
○ Any of our service providers and business partners, for business purposes, such as specialist advisors who have been contracted to provide us with administrative, financial, legal, tax, compliance, insurance, IT, debt-recovery, analytics, research or other services;
12. If the Company discloses your personal information to service providers and business partners, in order to perform the services requested by clients, such providers and partners may store your personal information within their own systems in order to comply with their legal and other obligations.
We require that service providers and business partners who process personal information to acknowledge the confidentiality of this information, undertake to respect any client’s right to privacy and comply with all relevant privacy and data protection laws and this Privacy Notice.
13. Where we store your personal data
Our operations are supported by a network of computers, servers, and other infrastructure and information technology, including, but not limited to, third-party service providers. We and our third-party service providers and business partners store and process your personal data in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and elsewhere in the world.
14. Privacy Shield
Solster has self-certified, operating in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, to adhere to the Privacy Framework for all personal information received, collected, used, retained and transferred from users to us in reliance on Privacy. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Privacy Notice and the Privacy Principles, the Privacy Principles shall govern.
Under Privacy, we are responsible for the processing of personal information we receive, collect, use, retain and subsequently transfer to a third party service provider or business partner acting for or on our behalf. We may not be liable for ensuring that the third parties we engage also support our Privacy commitments. Solster commits to cooperate and comply with the advice of the regulatory authorities to whom you may raise a concern about our processing of your personal information pursuant to Privacy, including to the panel established by the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines authorities. This is provided at no cost to you.
15. Disclosures for National Security or Law Enforcement
Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your personal information in response to valid requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
16. Transfers of personal information outside of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
We may transfer your personal information outside Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to other Company subsidiaries, service providers and business partners (i.e Data Processors) who are engaged on our behalf. To the extent that we transfer your personal information outside of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, we will ensure that the transfer is lawful and that Data Processors in third countries are obliged to comply with the GDPR General Data Protection Act 2016. If transfers of personal information are processed in the US, we may in some cases rely on applicable standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules.
17. Transfers of Personal Information outside of your country
By using our products and services, you consent to your Personal Data being transferred to other countries, including countries that have differing levels of privacy and data protection laws than your country. In all such transfers, we will protect your personal information as described in this Privacy Notice, and ensure that appropriate information sharing contractual agreements are in place.
18. Privacy when using digital assets and blockchains
Your funding of USDT, bitcoin, XRP, ether, and other Digital Assets, may be recorded on a public blockchain. Public blockchains are distributed ledgers, intended to immutably record transactions across wide networks of computer systems. Many blockchains are open to forensic analysis which can lead to deanonymization and the unintentional revelation of private financial information, especially when blockchain data is combined with other data.
Because blockchains are decentralized or third-party networks which are not controlled or operated by Solster or its a affiliates, we are not able to erase, modify, or alter personal data from such networks.
19. Data Retention
Safeguarding the privacy of your personal information is of utmost importance to us, whether you interact with us personally, by phone, by email, over the internet or any other electronic medium. We will hold personal information, for as long as we have a business relationship with you, in secure computer storage facilities, and we take the necessary measures to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
When we consider that personal information is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, we will remove any details that will identify you or we will securely destroy the records. However, we may need to maintain records for a significant period of time (after you cease being our client). For example, we are subject to certain anti-money laundering laws which require us to retain the following, for a period of 7 years after our business relationship with you has ended.
○ A copy of the records we used in order to comply with our client due diligence obligations;
○ Supporting evidence and records of transactions with you and your relationship with us.
​
20. Also, the personal information we hold in the form of a recorded information, by telephone, electronically or otherwise, will be held in line with local regulatory requirements (i.e. 7 years after our business relationship with you has ended or longer if you have legitimate interests (such as handling a dispute with you)). If you have opted out of receiving marketing communications we will hold your details on our suppression list so that we know you do not want to receive these communications.
We may keep your data for longer than 7 years if we cannot delete it for legal, regulatory or technical reasons.
21. Cookies
When you use our products and services, we may make use of the standard practice of placing tiny data files called cookies, Rash cookies, pixel tags, or other tracking tools (herein, “Cookies”) on your computer or other devices used when engaging with us. We use Cookies to (i) help us recognize you as a customer, collect information about your use of our products and services, to better customize our services and content for you, and to collect information about your computer or other access devices to ensure our compliance with our AML obligations.

What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files. When you visit a website, the website sends the cookie to your computer. Your computer stores it in a file located inside your web browser.
Cookies do not transfer viruses or malware to your computer, because the data in a cookie does not change when it travels back and forth, it has no way to affect how your computer runs. Instead they act more like logs (i.e. they record user activity and remember stateful information), and get updated every time you visit a website.
We may obtain information about you by accessing cookies sent by our website. Different types of cookies keep track of different activities. For example, session cookies are used only when a person is actively navigating a website. Once you leave the website, the session cookie disappears. For a more detailed list of cookies we use, please see the relevant section below.
​
Why are Cookies useful?
We use functional cookies to analyse how visitors and clients use our website, as well as track and improve our website’s performance and function. This allows us to provide a high-quality customer experience by quickly identifying and fixing any issues that may arise. For example, we might use cookies to keep track of which website pages are most popular and which method of linking between website pages is most effective.
Another use of cookies is to store your login sessions, meaning that when you log in to your account to deposit funds, a “session cookie” is set so that the website remembers that you have already logged in. If the website did not set this cookie, you will be asked for your login details on each new page as your progress through the funding process.
In addition, functional cookies for example, are used to allow us to remember your preferences and identify you as a user, ensure your information is secure and operate more reliably and e ciently. For example, cookies save you the trouble of typing in your username every time you access our trading platform, and recall your preferences.
Here are some of the functions our cookies provide us with:
● Verifying your identity and detecting the country you are currently visiting from;
● Checking browser type and device, and
● Tracking which site the user was referred from.
​
Types of Cookies we use
1. Functional cookies: These cookies are essential for the running of our website. Without these cookies our website would not function properly. These are saved temporarily as login information and expire once the browser is closed.
2. Analytical cookies: The information provided by analytical cookies allows us to analyse patterns of visitor and client behaviour and we use that information to enhance the overall experience or identify areas of the website which may require maintenance. The information is anonymous (i.e. it cannot be used to identify you and does not contain personal information such as your name and email address), and it is only used for statistical purposes. Behavioural cookies are similar to analytical and remember that you have visited the website and use that information to provide you with content which is tailored to your interests. 
Manage Cookies
 You can delete cookies any time you want by using the settings in your web browser. You can also choose to disable cookies from your web browser, but this would mean that our website and other websites that you access may not function properly. If you do this, a potential result is that you may not be able to sign in. Further information on deleting or controlling cookies can be found at www.aboutcookies.org​
