By using our service, you agree to the potential use of MFA or 2FA with these third-party websites as a part of our ongoing commitment to your account security.

8. Account Opening and Use; Security 
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an Account (“KYC”).
What this means for you: when you open an Account, the information we request may vary depending on the circumstances, but at a minimum, we may ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We are also required to verify the information you provide to us. This verification process may require you to provide us with supporting documentation that we deem appropriate. We may also seek to verify the information by other means. We reserve the right to request additional information and/or signatures from you from time to time. If we are not able to validate your identity or authenticity to our satisfaction, we may elect to not open the Account, may terminate your account or may elect to not provide access to the Account if your identity cannot be validated. By participating in the Platform or Services, you certify that all information you have provided to us is true, accurate and complete.

We may ask you to create or apply for an online account to use certain parts of the Platform or our Services (“Account”). When you create an Account, you may be required to pick a username, password, PIN, and/or other access credentials. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy (https://withparallax.com/privacy-policy). You are responsible for the use of the Services under your Account, for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account and access credentials and for restricting access to your computer and any other devices you use to access your Account, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your Account or access credentials. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your Account to any other person, except to the extent that these Terms or any Additional Terms permit you to add an Authorized User. You acknowledge that we are not responsible for third party access to your Account, including access by an Authorized User and access that results from theft or misappropriation of your Account or access credentials. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to refuse or cancel Services, terminate Accounts, or remove or edit all code, video, images, information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, messages, or other materials (“Content”) that you upload, post, publish, or display (collectively “Upload”), email, or otherwise use via our Platform or Service. You agree to (a) provide us with complete, accurate and up-to-date information for your Account and you agree to update such information and keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date; if you don’t, we might have to suspend or terminate your Account, (b) immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your access credentials or Account or any other breach of security and (c) ensure that you exit from your Account at the end of each session when accessing our Services. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section 8.

Additionally, you must link a virtual wallet capable of receiving Digital Assets and/or a bank account or wallet capable of receiving fiat (“Linked Account”) to your Account in order to use our Services.  Parallax enables funds to be deposited into your wallet or balance on Parallax, which is a Digital Asset wallet (“Wallet”) via automated clearinghouse (“ACH”), wire transfer or Digital Assets and for you to submit requests for disbursements from your Wallet.

You are exclusively liable for any and all tax obligations (either national, provincial or municipal) which may apply to the use of the Services in its local jurisdiction, including without limitation any withholding, collection, reporting and remittance to the appropriate tax authorities. Parallax shall not be liable for any breach or non-compliance by you on your tax obligations, under the legislation in force.

9. Responsibility
You agree that we are able to treat any and all instructions or requests provided via your Account as genuine, authentic and correct and we will not carry out any verification of any such instructions to ensure they come from or are authorized by you, or that they are correct.  You agree that we are not responsible for any losses you might suffer as a result of us acting on any instructions or requests provided via your Account and accordingly you are responsible for ensuring that your Account is kept secure. You are responsible for ensuring the validity of the recipient of your transfer, to avoid any instructions or requests being placed that could cause you loss.

10. Parallax Wallet.
Eligible users can use the Service with a self-custody wallet to store digital assets or virtual currency, which is a digital representation of value based on a cryptographic protocol of a computer network (“Digital Assets”) and fiat currency (“Fiat Currency”).  Digital Assets and Fiat Currency that are available for Users to buy, sell, and hold using the Parallax Services are referred to in these Terms as “Supported Currencies”. The Fiat Currency value we display for any type of Supported Currency is an estimate based on market data available to us and is not a guaranteed exchange rate.

Any balance in your Account represents your ownership of the amount of each type of Supported Currency shown. When you view your Account balance, we will show you the fiat currency equivalent value. All balances shown as fiat currency on Parallax are held in the form of Digital Assets.

11. Transferring Funds Into Your Account. 
Funds may be transferred into your Account through methods such as ACH, wire transfers, cards, and Digital Asset deposits. When you deposit funds into your Account, this is converted into Digital Assets in the form of stablecoins, through Third-Party Partners that convert Fiat Currency to Digital Assets (“On-Ramp Partners”). Such deposit transactions are not reversible.

We reserve the right to hold or return any funds or deposits that do not comply with our compliance standards and risk assessments.

Funds or deposits received through the ACH network or wire transfer systems shall be deemed beyond our control until such funds have successfully settled with our designated On-Ramp Partners or within your designated Account. By utilizing our services, you expressly agree not to hold us liable for any discrepancies in timing or misplacement of funds that have not been credited to your Account. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that no form of compensation, reimbursement, or indemnification shall be sought or expected from us in the event of any delay, misplacement, or other issues pertaining to funds that have not been duly credited to your Account.

12. Transferring Funds Out of Your Account. 
Funds may be transferred out of your Account and into a Linked Account. These accounts and wallets may be subject to additional screening to prevent financial crime. You can manage linked payment methods on the Platform. There may be additional fees applicable to the transfers, and we may set limits on your Account or transfers, in each case subject to Section 22 (Fees and Limits). In some cases, transactions and payments may be delayed or blocked until you or the intended recipient provides us with all required information. This can occur for reasons such as ensuring we protect our users and Parallax from fraud and financial crime.

Because the prices of currencies fluctuate, the price we provide will only be valid for a limited time. If the price we provided expires, you will not be able to complete your transaction at that price. Once you confirm your transaction, we will then execute this transaction. For local currencies, this works by sending the stablecoin funds from your balance to a Third-Party Partner that converts these Digital Assets into Fiat Currencies (“Off-Ramp Partner”) who will then send the desired currency to the account you specify. For stablecoin withdrawals, this will be sent to the wallet address you specify. Once confirmed, your purchase of the currency is not reversible. You expressly agree not to hold us liable for any discrepancies in timing for withdrawals. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that no form of compensation, reimbursement, or indemnification shall be sought or expected from us in the event of any misplacement, or other issues pertaining to funds that were sent to the wrongly input wallet address or account number. You may see your transaction history on the Platform. Parallax will have no liability for currency fluctuations or loss associated with your use of our Services.

13. Supported Currencies
The Parallax Service is intended solely for proper use of Supported Currencies, as designated and defined on the Service. We assume no responsibility in connection with any attempt to use the Service with virtual currency or Fiat Currency that we do not support. Virtual currencies such as USDC and EUROC are Digital Assetss pegged to an external reference value such as the U.S. dollar or Euro.

14. Ownership and Control
You own and control all Supported Currencies held in your Parallax wallet balance. As the owner of the Supported Currencies in your Parallax wallet, you bear all risk of loss of such Supported Currencies. We help you create a wallet as part of the Parallax registration process. We also process the selling and buying of stablecoin on your behalf to fund your transfer.  Parallax will have no liability for Supported Currency fluctuations or loss associated with your use of the Service. Subject to outages, downtime, and other applicable policies, you may withdraw your Supported Currencies at any time by sending it to a different blockchain address. You are solely in control of and responsible for your Parallax wallet, and accordingly only you can authorize transactions from your Parallax wallet. You expressly acknowledge and agree that the Parallax wallet is a self-custody wallet and that you are solely responsible for your activity and any risk of loss at all times. Transactions completed on the blockchain are final.

15. Private Key Generation & Storage
Self-custody wallets work by generating and storing “Private Keys” that allow you to securely store your digital assets or virtual currency. Each private key corresponds to a public key. A public key is also referred to as a wallet address. The public and private keys are used together to transact on the blockchain. This public-private key pair is unique.  During the Account registration process, we work with services that support the encryption and backup of the private key securely. This is completed using certain key components, and could include but is not limited to your Account login information, biometric information, your own PIN, or recovery instructions (e.g. Security File or security words). All components used to generate keys are personal to you and you only. The User always maintains control of the ownership and access to their keys. You acknowledge that losing or exposing your PIN or Security File could lead to loss of funds or loss of access to your wallet.

You can retrieve your Private Key through the Parallax App, with additional account verifications and checks. You can then download the private key information and transfer to another wallet of your choice at any time.


16. Authorized Users 
While we do not currently permit authorized users, to the extent that we do permit such users in the future, you may be able to add one or more users to your Account provided they are approved by our Partners and satisfy the our Partners’s BSA/AML compliance requirements (“Authorized User”). When you add someone as an Authorized User, that person has permission to make transactions on your Account. If and when we do permit Authorized Users, you will be able to add them using the Platform or by contacting us at support@withparallax.com.

You further agree to and accept full responsibility for any Authorized User’s use our Services, including (a) any transactions made by an Authorized User on your Account; (b) any transaction made by an Authorized User even if the post date shown on your Statement for that transaction occurs after the date you ask us to remove the Authorized User from your Account; (c) any transaction made by others if an Authorized User allows them to use your Account; (d) fees and charges resulting from any transaction made by an Authorized User or others if an Authorized User allows them to use your Account; and (e) any other financial charges and legal liability that an Authorized User may incur in connection with their use of your Account.

You also agree that an Authorized User may use and receive information about the Account the same way you do.

33. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
32.1. Agreement to Arbitrate
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration Section is referred to in these Terms as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Parallax, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach), our Platform or Services, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship, or transactions between us, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Parallax are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not by a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

32.2. Class Action Waiver
YOU AND PARALLAX AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND PARALLAX AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS.

32.3. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution; Required Notice to Parallax
Parallax is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most user concerns can be resolved quickly and to the user’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at support@withparallax.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) to the other party. The Notice to Parallax should be emailed to support@withparallax.com(“Notice Address”) with “Notice of Dispute” in the subject line. Parallax will send the Notice to you by certified mail to the last address on record in your Account.  The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and Parallax do not resolve the claim within 60 calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Parallax may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Parallax or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you are or Parallax is entitled.

32.4. Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

Unless Parallax and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of each’s ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Parallax agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

32.5. Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, Parallax will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, Parallax will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Parallax will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

32.6. Confidentiality
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

32.7. Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than Section 32.2) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of Section 32.2 are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.

32.8. Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, Parallax agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of our Platform or Services, you may reject any such change by sending Parallax written notice within 30 calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
