In addition to providing this information, to facilitate compliance with global industry standards for data retention, you agree to permit us to keep a record of such information for the period of maintaining an active business relationship with us (i.e. for the period while your Bitrizza profile is active in our system), but also 8 years after the closure of your Bitrizza Account, as explicitly prescribed by Article 19 paragraph 9 of the Republic of Lithuania Law on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing.
You also authorize us to make additional inquiries, either directly or through third parties, that are deemed necessary to verify your identity or to protect you and/or us against financial crimes such as fraud, throughout the whole period of maintaining a commercial relationship with us.
7.3. The identity verification information we request includes a preliminary customer questionnaire, which requires you to submit the following personal information about yourself. The preliminary customer questionnaire is similar for both an Individual Client registering, and a Representative of a Legal Entity, who is either a beneficiary of a registering business, or has been authorized to represent the business on a basis of a written resolution as prescribed in the section 4.3, subparagraph 7.
· Full name
· E-mail address

You hereby acknowledge and agree that you have the obligation to keep all information provided up to date if there are any changes.
7.4. After the submission of the preliminary questionnaire, the User can initiate the verification procedure, the technical component of which is executed via our third party KYC service provider.The verification procedure is sub-divided into several stages, depending on the final amount of the Exchange Orders, which a User is planning to make at the Platform. The Company subdivides Customer Verification Procedure into the steps of SDD (Simplified Due Diligence) and EDD (Enhanced Due Diligence).
The SDD Procedure is applied whenever a Client has just registered an account at the Platform and pressed the “Verify” button in the account. After filling in the questionnaire as prescribed above, the Client is asked to submit either of the following documents for the automatic KYC check via the GDPR compliant third – party service provider, as described in the Privacy Policy of Bitrizza:
· A Citizen's Passport for a country where the Citizen's Passport could be used as a travel document, or an International Passport for the jurisdictions where a separate Passport is required for cross-border travel.
· an identity card;
· a residence permit card;
· an alien’s passport of a foreign country;
· a driving permit issued in Lithuania;
· a driving permit issued in a foreign country if the document includes user’s name, photograph or facial image, signature or image of a signature and date of birth or personal identification code;
· Pass a “Liveness” check via a third party service provider. The “Liveness” check involves the use of a device with a working camera and a microphone.
After the verification of the document is executed successfully via the third – party service provider, the Client, who is an individual, could proceed to placing an Exchange Order at the platform. In contrast, a representative of a legal entity should proceed to the Corporate Verification by clicking the respective “Corporate Verification” button in the Profile. The Corporate Verification implies the submission of the following documents:
· Certificate of Incorporation
· Articles/Memorandum of Association
· Shareholders/Directors Registry
· Extract from Register of Legal Entities
· Latest Annual Financial Report
· POA Business – Utility Bill or a Bank Statement, dated not older than three months
· Bank account statement for 6 months
· Certificate of Good Standing/Incumbency
· Wallet Address Verification (via Blockchain signature)
· Funds Flow Chart – should include the main partners of a Legal Entity
· Estimated Transaction Volumes
· Ownership Structure – should indicate all of the Beneficiaries of a Legal Entity
The list of documents provided above is not exhaustive. The Company reserves a right to either request additional documents from a Legal Entity, in line with the corporate onboarding procedure, or permit the Legal Entity to omit certain documents from the package, if the Register of Legal Entities of the country of incorporation of an incoming Corporate Client does not recognize or issue such certain types of documents which are requested by Bitrizza. The omission is possible only in case a Legal Entity can provide substitute document/documents for the absent ones.
7.5 Within the scope of the continuation of the commercial relationship with a User, the company would implement EDD procedures under two general types of circumstances:
· When a user is not a citizen or a resident of any EU/EEA country.
· Any other case whenever the Company deems it necessary to conduct an EDD procedure. Such cases are determined by the internal risk scoring system, which assigns an individual risk profile to each registered and verified User of Bitrizza. The Company reserves a right to request the submission of the files/other actions from the User within the scope of the EDD, before the establishment or at any point of an ongoing commercial relationship with a Client.
The EDD procedure requires additional actions from the User in order to continue operating the account. If an EDD protocol has been applied to a User Profile, the User is obliged to perform the actions outlined in Bitrizza's internal EDD procedure, following Bitrizza's AML/CTF policy.
After all of the steps of the EDD procedures were performed, the EDD procedure is deemed closed. The Company reserves a right to refuse to continue a business relationship with the Client after the EDD procedure without disclosing the grounds for the refusal.
7.6. The verification and data collection procedures implemented by Bitrizza are free of charge for the Users of the Platform, undergoing the procedure.
7.7. By signing up for a Bitrizza account you hereby authorise Bitrizza to make inquiries, whether directly or through third parties, that Bitrizza considers necessary to verify your identity or protect you and/or Bitrizza against fraud or other financial crimes, and to take action Bitrizza reasonably deems necessary based on the results of such inquiries. You also acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be disclosed to third party vendors (limited to KYC service providers and financial institutions with which Bitrizza has a commercial relationship established) or financial crime agencies and that these agencies may request additional information from the side of Bitrizza on the basis of the applicable legislation, such as the anti-money laundering and terrorist financing law of the Republic of Lithuania, or any other applicable European Directive.
7.8. Bitrizza strives to maintain the safety of those User funds entrusted to us and has implemented industry standard protections for the Services.

Bitrizza shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from any use of your Bitrizza Account by any third party (whether or not authorized by you).
8.3. All Bitrizza Account operations are carried out at your request made in a proper way through the Platform using your Bitrizza Account only. Bitrizza does not accept requests on carrying out any operations with your Bitrizza Account from any third parties (i.e. any requests made not from your Bitrizza Account), or an Exchange Order made via your registered e-mail address or any other communication mean except for the Order placement directly within the User Profile.
9.Exchange Order placement and processing
9.1. To complete the exchange order, you have to transfer Funds in accordance with the procedure of the Exchange Order placement, which is as follows:
· A registered and verified User of Bitrizza should log into the Profile at the Platform
· The User should navigate to either Buy or Sell section and indicate the amount, which he or she is willing to exchange. When purchasing Cryptocurrency, the Fiat amount (in either of the available Fiat Currencies) which the client is willing to convert into the Cryptocurrency should be indicated. When selling the Cryptocurrency, the amount in the respective Cryptocurrency to be sold should be indicated, along with the desired settlement Fiat currency.
· A User can employ two payment options for closing his/her side of the Exchange Order. It could be a direct transfer of Fiat/Cryptocurrency to the bank details/wallet address of UAB “Bitrizza”, or a payment made using Sofort. If a Client pays his/her order using the Sofort gateway, the settlement on Bitrizza’s side of the Exchange Order (i.e. the provision of funds from the side of UAB “Bitrizza” to the Client) would occur within the range of 10 minutes (usual time required for SEPA reception – 1-3 business days; SWIFT – 2-5 business days), or when the Cryptocurrency payment receives sufficient number of confirmations from the applicable network (point 9.3 of the present Agreement). As mentioned previously, the company reserves the right to request Source of Funds documents from a User, based upon the conditions specified in Section 7 of the present Agreement.
9.2. Transfer of Funds, as well as the execution of Transactions between you and Bitrizza, might be carried out by third parties (electronic money institutions, payment service providers, banks etc.). Bitrizza prudently maintains the network of partners and ensures their compliance with the AML/CFT standards of Lithuania, the European Union, as well as the GDPR compliance and data security standards, by conducting its own KYB procedures. However, Bitrizza shall not bear any liability for actions of such third parties. You shall be responsible for paying commissions and Service Fees related to the transfer of Funds, and you shall assume any risks associated with submitting incorrect payment details.
When making a Fiat deposit, it is mandatory for the User to indicate the unique Profile ID, associated with the account of the Client at Bitrizza, as well as the correct IBAN and BIC/SWIFT of Bitrizza’s current account the details for which would be received by the Client upon placing an Exchange Order. The Client should send funds only to the bank details, which the Client has received right after placing the Exchange Order. Bitrizza has an automatic payment routing system in place, which assigns the bank details to which the Client should send the funds based upon an array of criteria. If a Client makes several consecutive Exchange Orders, it is highly likely that the client would encounter bank details of several different payment partners of Bitrizza, however, the Client should always use the most recent details received. Bitrizza reserves a right to refuse the processing of a payment which was sent according to bank details, which are different from the ones which the Client received from the system for the respective Exchange Order. Under the circumstance where such a refusal takes placed, the funds for the order would be returned back to the User within 3 working days for SEPA payments and 5 working days for SWIFT payments starting from the point of reception of the funds by Bitrizza, subject to the delays which are beyond the control of Bitrizza (e.g. bank holidays, technical disruption on the side of payment service providers of Bitrizza).
When making a Cryptocurrency deposit at Bitrizza, the Client should always cross – verify the wallet address, generated for the Client’s deposit. We strongly suggest against entering the destination wallet address manually, instead, it is suggested to copy the wallet address from Bitrizza and paste it into your wallet program/application. Sending Cryptocurrency to any wallet address, different from the one indicated in the deposit instructions may result in a permanent loss of the Crypto funds. Bitrizza would not bear any responsibility for the loss of the Digital Assets, resulting from the indication of an incorrect wallet address. Please also note that any transaction made in Cryptocurrency is irreversible.
9.3. Bitrizza is entitled to set and vary maximum and minimum limits for Deposits and Withdrawals of Funds at its own discretion. Bitrizza shall not be liable for any preliminary notifications to the Users in regards such changes.
9.4. Bitrizza reserves the right to automatically process payments from customers, received by the company, that differ from the amount indicated in the order, in which case the order will be processed based on the actual amount received.

14. Risk warning & Exchange rate determination.
14.1. The purchase or sale of assets, real or virtual, as well as Cryptocurrencies involves significant risk. Prices can and do fluctuate on any given day. Such price fluctuations may increase or decrease the value of your assets at any given moment. Any Currency - virtual or not - may be subject to large swings in value and may even become worthless. There is an inherent risk that losses will occur as a result of buying or selling anything on a market, as well as in case of holding the assets.
14.2 Within the scope of the aforementioned, it should be noted that the exchange rate which could be observed by the client at Bitrizza is determined based upon the aggregated data from a network of liquidity providers, with which Bitrizza has a commercial relationship established. The precise exchange rate at which an Exchange Order of the User is executed would be set in the Exchange Order window specifically when the funds of the client would be converted into the ordered currency. All of the chronology of the Exchange Order processing is logged in the Profile.
14.3. Cryptocurrency trading also has special risks not generally shared with Fiat money and/or goods and/or commodities. Unlike most Fiat money, which are backed by governments or other legal entities, or by commodities such as gold or silver, Cryptocurrencies are a unique type of Currency, backed by technology and trust. There is no central bank that can issue more Currency or take corrective measures to protect the value of Cryptocurrencies in case of a crisis.
14.4. The market of Cryptocurrencies is often susceptible to irrational (or rational) bubbles or loss of confidence, which could collapse demand relative to supply. For example, confidence might collapse in Cryptocurrencies because of unexpected changes imposed by software developers or others, a government crackdown, the creation of superior competing alternative currencies, or a deflationary or inflationary spiral. Confidence might also collapse because of technical problems: if the anonymity of the system is compromised, if money is lost or stolen, or if hackers or governments are able to prevent any transactions from settling.
14.5. There may also be additional risks that which have not been foreseen or identified in this Agreement.
14.6. In light of the above mentioned, you understand that all the operations with Cryptocurrencies have irreversible character and that Funds received or sent during the Transaction cannot be reversed. You cannot cancel, reverse, or change any Order marked as complete.
14.7. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for determining the nature, potential value, suitability, and appropriateness of these risks for you and that Bitrizza does not give advice or recommendations. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange and value of digital assets. As the price and liquidity of digital assets have been subject to large fluctuations in the past and may be subject to large fluctuations in the future, you acknowledge also that digital asset transactions may be subject to high risks and may cause the loss of your funds.

The Company reserves a right to request additional documents, which could support the justification (e.g. a confirmation of the closure of the current account, used to make a deposit). The Company reserves a right to refuse to send a refund to the bank details/cryptocurrency wallet address of the client (previously not used to make a deposit), in case a justification provided from the side of the Client is deemed insufficient or yields significant grounds to deem this request as suspicious from the standpoint of AML/CFT legislation of Lithuania.
16.3. To comply with anti-money laundering and terrorist financing regulations or any other regulations and to prevent prohibited conduct, all payments and information related to the aforementioned refund may be verified by Bitrizza. In such case, Bitrizza may request from the Client, at its sole discretion, to provide certain documents and information, including without limitation identification documents, copy of the credit card or bank details and/or any other proof required to affect the refund. In case the Client fails to provide appropriate documents or information, or in case of any doubts as to the authenticity of provided documents and information, Bitrizza shall be entitled to cease the refund process until the Client takes appropriate measures, as requested.
16.4. Notwithstanding the above, Bitrizza reserves the right to cancel the order without any refund, or decline any refund request, if it suspects that the Client has or is engaged in, or has in any way been involved in, fraudulent or illegal activity.
16.5. Refund will be processed without undue delay, and in any event within 7 (seven) business days from cancellation of order, subject to the requirements set forth hereinabove, and provided that the Client does not fail to provide Bitrizza with any information and/or documentation required in order to process the refund.
16.6. Under the circumstances where a recall request is made via the bank account of a Client, the Company reserves a right to immediately suspend the Profile of the Client until further clarifications in regards to such a request are provided from the Client.
