Terms of Service

General Provisions

1.1 Overview Before using or accessing the websites operated by NewCoin, associated application programming interfaces, any services provided through websites, mobile applications, and APIs (collectively, the "Services"), or related software, forums, blogs, social media pages, and other platforms operated and maintained by NewCoin (collectively, the "Site"), you must carefully read this User Agreement ("Agreement") and fully understand all terms and conditions, especially those marked in capital letters, italics, bold, underlined, or in color. This Agreement consists of the main body, the Privacy Policy (click here to view), and any rules, statements, guidelines, restrictions, disclaimers, and obligations already published or that may be published on the Site in the future. For convenience, "NewCoin", "we", "our", and "this site" in this Agreement refer to the Site, NewCoin, and its affiliated companies.

Please read this Agreement carefully, as its terms will govern your use of the Services and the Site. By registering an account, accessing, downloading, using the Services, or clicking "Agree" to accept NewCoin's services, you are deemed to have read, understood, irrevocably accepted, and agreed to be legally bound by all terms of this Agreement and other agreements you must accept (including but not limited to the Privacy Policy), trading rules, announcements, etc. (including any amended versions). Furthermore, when using specific service functions, you must also comply with the additional terms related to those functions (e.g., product agreements).

We reserve the right to unilaterally modify this Agreement, associated service terms, activity rules, trading policies, guidelines, or announcements at any time without prior notice. Modifications become effective immediately upon posting on the Site. Your continued use of the Site and/or NewCoin Services constitutes acceptance of the modifications. If you do not agree to the modifications, you must immediately stop using the Services.

Disclaimer: Any materials or information provided on this Site do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as recommendations, offers, invitations, endorsements, or solicitations for any digital asset or product. You further understand that we are not your broker, agent, intermediary, or advisor and do not provide opinions on the nature, value, potential, or suitability of any digital asset. This Site does not provide tax, legal, insurance, or investment advice. All information should not be construed as advice of any form. You must independently decide, based on your financial situation, investment objectives, and risk tolerance, whether any investment strategy, product, or service is suitable for you. We assume no responsibility for any trading decisions you make based on Site information (including any resulting losses).

1.2 Risk Disclosure (a) Digital assets are primarily used by speculators, with relatively limited application in retail and commercial markets. (b) Digital asset trading is highly risky due to 24/7 trading without price limits. Market maker actions and global government policies can cause severe price volatility. (c) Digital assets differ from traditional fiat currencies, commodities, or physical assets in markets and carry special risks. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, digital assets are decentralized and not backed by central banks, governments, or other legal entities. Currently, digital assets are largely unregulated. Therefore, their value may rise or fall due to market conditions, investor sentiment, competing currencies, regulatory statements or changes, technical issues, etc. (d) Given the significant risks of digital asset trading and the influence of technology and international markets, we cannot guarantee that specific types of digital assets will continue to be offered on this platform. We reserve the right to cease services related to a particular digital asset. If trading or services for a digital asset are discontinued, we will endeavor to notify users. At that time, users will be unable to exchange that digital asset for other types but may choose to transfer it to other wallet addresses. Please note that any fees incurred for transferring digital assets to other wallet addresses are not borne by us. (e) Once digital assets are transferred out from this platform to other sites, devices, platforms, wallets, or users, we no longer assume any responsibility. We also assume no responsibility for digital assets transferred into this platform not through platform transactions or mistakenly transferred to incompatible wallet addresses. (f) Digital asset transactions may be irreversible. We strongly advise against transferring assets to anyone you have not personally verified or fully trust. Always take precautions when transferring digital assets via your account or other sites/wallets/devices. We are not responsible for digital assets being misappropriated or stolen. We strongly recommend users familiarize themselves with and use personal wallet services or other storage devices and adopt other security measures. Exercise particular caution regarding password protection in the digital environment. (g) Digital asset trading carries extremely high risk and is unsuitable for most people. You acknowledge that investing in digital assets may lead to partial or total loss of principal and should decide investment amounts based on your risk tolerance. Digital assets may involve derivative risks. If in doubt, be sure to consult a professional advisor. Besides the above risks, unforeseeable risks may exist. Therefore, it is advisable to carefully assess your financial situation and the aforementioned risks before trading. Any resulting losses are borne solely by you, and we bear no responsibility.

1.3 You Acknowledge and Agree That: (a) You understand this platform serves only as a venue for obtaining information, finding counterparties, negotiating, and executing digital asset transactions. We do not participate in user transactions. You should independently judge the authenticity, legality, and validity of relevant digital assets/information and bear the resulting responsibilities and losses independently. (b) All views, information, discussions, analyses, price suggestions, etc., on the platform are general market commentary and do not constitute any investment, financial, tax, or other professional advice. We are not liable for losses (including but not limited to loss of profits) directly or indirectly caused by such information. (c) We reserve the right to unilaterally modify platform content at any time. While we strive to ensure information accuracy, we do not guarantee absolute accuracy and are not liable for direct/indirect losses arising from delays or failures in notification/information transmission due to platform information or network connection failures. (d) Online trading systems carry risks of software/hardware/network failures. Given our inability to control internet reliability, we are not responsible for communication distortions, delays, or interruptions. (e) Using the platform and Services for illegal transactions or activities (including but not limited to money laundering, terrorist financing, smuggling, commercial bribery) is prohibited. Upon detecting suspicious activities, we will take measures such as freezing accounts and reporting to regulatory authorities, assume no liability for resulting consequences, and reserve the right to pursue relevant parties. (f) You shall not use our website or Services in any way to engage in, participate in, or involve yourself in any activity that may harm market fairness, damage our reputation, or infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of other users, including but not limited to market manipulation activities (e.g., spoofing orders, layering orders, wash trading, mass selling, coordinated selling, or other manipulative acts aimed at artificially suppressing market prices, misleading users, or disrupting market order), and any illegal, improper, false, unfair, or unethical trading or activity (collectively, "Market Manipulation Activities"). Specifically, you and/or your affiliates shall not engage in or participate in any such Market Manipulation Activities by opening multiple accounts on our website. You acknowledge and understand that Market Manipulation Activities may severely impact the market, e.g., artificially inflating or deflating the price of relevant digital assets. We take such behavior seriously, are committed to maintaining market fairness and integrity, and will take necessary measures to protect our website and Services from such abuse. If we, at our reasonable discretion, discover, notice, or suspect any Market Manipulation Activities, we have the right to take appropriate measures, including but not limited to: issuing warnings, disqualifying you from trading, restricting trading, canceling or reversing relevant trades, confiscating gains obtained through manipulation, suspending services, freezing or offsetting losses or damages caused by market manipulation (including offsetting assets in your account, your affiliates' accounts, or accounts we reasonably believe are related to you and/or your affiliates), or suspending or permanently closing all related accounts. Furthermore, we may take corresponding measures to mitigate adverse market impacts, including temporarily halting trading of affected digital assets or restricting withdrawals of related gains when reasonably necessary to maintain market stability. We assume no obligation to compensate for any liabilities arising from such acts and will continue taking all measures we deem reasonable and necessary to combat market manipulation, while reserving the right to pursue legal and/or other equitable remedies against you and your affiliates.

1.4 The online platform we provide supports digital asset transactions among users and may offer ancillary services to facilitate trading. Depending on the user's country/region, some services may be restricted. You are responsible for ensuring your use of the platform and Services complies with applicable laws in your country and the country from which you access them.

1.5 Creating an account signifies your agreement to maintain the security and confidentiality of your login credentials and restrict access to your account and your computer, tablet, or mobile device. You are fully legally responsible for all activities under your account and bear all risks of unauthorized access.

Our Rights and Obligations

3.1 We may, at our sole discretion and at any time, decide to restrict, suspend, or terminate your account, your use of the Services, or any transaction processing if we unilaterally determine that you have breached this Agreement, applicable laws of your jurisdiction, or that your use of the Services or the provision of Services constitutes illegal activity in your jurisdiction.

3.2 If we, at our sole discretion, determine your account is unsuitable for high-risk investment, we have the right to immediately suspend or terminate your use of that account.

3.3 If you fail to meet our due diligence procedures and requirements, we have the right to reject your account registration application. If you have completed registration, we have the right to revoke your account and reserve the right to pursue liability against you or your authorized agent. Furthermore, in all cases, we reserve the final right to decide whether to accept your account registration application.

3.4 When we have reasonable grounds to believe the account user is not the original registrant, we have the right to immediately suspend or terminate that user's access to the account.

3.5 If we reasonably suspect the information you provided is erroneous, untrue, invalid, or incomplete, we have the right to require you to correct or update the information or suspend/terminate the account.

3.6 If you (directly or indirectly by making requests to us) upload, post, disseminate any information on our website, or communicate with other users, you are solely responsible for such actions. You commit to using the website legally and civilly, not abusing or harming the website and other users' rights, including but not limited to prohibiting defamation, harassment, inflammatory speech, unauthorized collection of user data, introduction of viruses/Trojans/hacking, etc. If you abuse the website, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account without prior notice or liability and delete your information on this site.

3.7 We may, at our sole discretion, take any measures we deem necessary and reasonable, including but not limited to restricting, suspending, or terminating your access to all or part of the Services and website, immediately deactivating or canceling your account, or canceling, suspending, freezing, delaying, or refusing to complete transactions. Such actions may be based on our needs to fulfill legal obligations, protect reputation, maintain market fairness and integrity, or enforce our rights. Where appropriate, we may cooperate with relevant government and judicial departments to freeze, confiscate, or transfer digital assets in your account to designated accounts as instructed by authorities.

Margin Trading, Lending, and Perpetual Contracts

These terms apply only if you are permitted to engage in margin trading, lending, and perpetual contract trading on NewCoin. In jurisdictions where such activities are prohibited by applicable law or this Agreement, you shall not engage in them. We reserve the right to revise or remove margin trading, lending, and perpetual contract features in your country/region at any time without prior notice to you.

4.1 Margin Trading To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may, at our discretion, offer margin trading as part of the Services. You need to deposit digital assets to open and maintain margin trading positions.

(a) Risks of Margin Trading Margin trading is highly risky. Before using any margin trading services, you confirm and agree to participate at your own risk and have fully read, understood, and accepted all terms of the Service Agreement. Additionally, you acknowledge and agree to the following: i) Trading markets are extremely volatile; liquidity, market depth, and trading dynamics can change rapidly. Using leverage can lead to substantial losses. ii) You are not entitled to forked coins generated from digital assets held in a margin account, even if you have not actually engaged in any margin trading or lending operations. iii) Margin trading involves risks; the value of your digital assets may decline. If the asset value falls below a specific threshold, you are obligated to meet margin calls in response to market changes. iv) Under specific market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to close positions. For example, market illiquidity or our technical failures may cause this situation. v) Pre-set conditional orders may not effectively control losses, as market conditions may prevent order execution. vi) Margin trading has no capital preservation mechanism. As a borrower, you may incur total losses exceeding the total deposits in your margin account.

(b) Obligations Before Participating in Margin Trading or Lending i) You must fully understand the relevant risks and independently bear responsibility for all activities in your account. Do not trade or invest beyond your financial means. ii) You are responsible for independently verifying position statuses and lending relationships with other parties on the platform. iii) You agree to maintain sufficient digital assets as required by us in the margin account and repay loans on time. Failure to perform will result in forced liquidation of account assets. iv) Even with forced liquidation mechanisms, stop-loss order execution is not guaranteed. If assets are insufficient to cover debts after liquidation, you remain responsible for covering the shortfall. v) We reserve absolute discretion to take reasonable measures, including but not limited to cross-account fund transfers, to mitigate potential losses on your behalf. vi) Lending digital assets signifies acceptance that the platform bears no responsibility for lending losses, including any losses by borrowers or other related parties. vii) You confirm all trading and lending decisions are made independently, and you bear all consequences. The platform is not liable for losses due to using the Services or insufficient risk awareness.

4.2 Perpetual Contracts (a) Perpetual contracts are similar to traditional futures contracts but have no expiration date. Their prices closely track the spot price of the underlying asset, anchored through a funding rate mechanism. Users holding positions must pay or receive funding fees based on position value at funding timestamps. (b) Risks of Perpetual Contracts Perpetual contract trading involves significant loss risk and is unsuitable for most investors. You confirm you fully understand the trading risks and continuously assess their suitability based on your financial situation. You also acknowledge: i) The high leverage feature means small market fluctuations can lead to total loss of margin. ii) The platform has the right to cancel orders or force liquidate positions at its discretion without prior notice. iii) Holding positions across funding timestamps will generate funding fee payments/receipts, the amount depending on the funding rate and position value, which can be substantial. iv) The platform may, at its discretion, require additional margin for large positions. v) When forks occur, digital assets in contract accounts have no entitlement to forked coins. vi) Setting conditional orders cannot guarantee loss control, as market conditions may hinder order execution.

(c) Obligations Before Participating in Perpetual Contracts i) You must be at least 18 years old and have full civil capacity. ii) You fully understand perpetual contract rules and risks and voluntarily bear all trading consequences. iii) If the platform suspects abnormal trading or breaches, it has the right to liquidate positions, freeze profits, and accounts. You promise not to hold the platform liable and to bear compensation for any damages caused to us. iv) You agree to continuously meet dynamic margin requirements. If margin is insufficient, you must top up promptly; otherwise, forced liquidation will be triggered. Forced liquidation is executed at the bankruptcy price. v) You understand the forced liquidation process: If the bankruptcy price cannot be executed, the platform will use the Insurance Fund to close positions at market price. If still unsettled, an Auto-Deleveraging mechanism is triggered, deleveraging counterparties based on profitability and leverage priority. Profits from better-than-bankruptcy-price execution are injected into the Insurance Fund. vi) You accept the funding rates and position values calculated by the platform as the basis for fee settlement. vii) You are independently responsible for all trading and non-trading activities on the platform. viii) Even if there are inaccuracies in platform information display, you must independently verify the actual status of counterparty positions.

Risk Disclosure Statement

5.1 Digital asset trading is extremely high risk. Related markets are highly volatile and constantly changing. Blockchain networks may be disrupted by attacks, system vulnerabilities, hard forks, or other unforeseeable reasons. We may encounter sophisticated cyberattacks, traffic surges, or other operational technical obstacles causing service interruptions. You must independently bear full responsibility for all trading and non-trading activities in your account and are responsible for account security and confidentiality of website information.

5.2 You need to independently assess and bear trading risks. Using this platform's Services confirms that: You have independently completed risk assessment of trading and underlying digital assets; you possess sufficient knowledge and experience to evaluate the merits and risks of relevant assets. The platform listing a digital asset does not constitute endorsement or rejection of its underlying technology and cannot substitute your independent understanding of risks associated with various digital assets. We make no warranties regarding the suitability of digital assets, and no fiduciary relationship is formed between us.

5.3 You bear all risks of digital asset transfers. Digital asset transactions are irreversible. Sending assets to an address signifies acceptance of the risk of potentially permanent asset loss. You must independently verify the accuracy of receiving addresses. If you deposit a digital asset type not listed on the deposit page, such transactions will not be supported, and assets may be unrecoverable. It is your obligation to ensure the deposit address is listed on the deposit page. We are not responsible for any assets mistakenly transferred to wrong addresses (including internal/external wallet addresses and platform UIDs).

5.4 We do not provide trading risk advice. You must consult professional advisors and bear trading risks independently. Any information, charts, or documents on the platform do not constitute investment advice or professional opinions.

5.5 We reserve the absolute right to delist digital assets at any time.

5.6 If there are errors in transaction processing, we have the right to correct, cancel transactions, or adjust deposit/withdrawal operations.

5.7 Right to Handle Unclaimed Property: If an account remains inactive (not logged into) for two consecutive years, we have the right to consider all assets in the account as unclaimed property, confiscate them without notice, and potentially donate them to non-profit institutions. You bear risks due to lack of communication and confirm that website announcements, emails, and support ticket system deliveries are deemed effective notice.

5.8 More risks are detailed in the periodically updated "Risk Warning Statement". Please note that statement cannot exhaust all potential risks; you should read it carefully and stay informed.

Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing

17 We are committed to providing you with secure, compliant, and trustworthy services. To this end, we have established comprehensive, in-depth customer due diligence processes, including ongoing analysis and reporting. This process covers monitoring suspicious transactions and reporting to international regulatory agencies. As required by applicable laws and contractual obligations, we need to retain specific information and documents and hereby explicitly reserve the right to store such information and documents. This clause applies even if you terminate your relationship with us or abandon your account application.

Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy Preamble

18.1 We ensure compliance with KYC and AML laws and regulations and will not knowingly violate relevant requirements. Within reasonable control, we will take necessary measures and technologies to provide you with secure and reliable services and maximize protection against losses caused by money laundering activities.

18.2 Our KYC and AML policy is a comprehensive system covering international standards, including relevant requirements of your jurisdiction. Through a strict compliance framework, we ensure meeting local and global regulatory requirements and standards and maintain the platform's continuous operational capability.

18.3 KYC and AML Policy Content (a) We promulgate and update KYC and AML policies to meet standards set by applicable laws; (b) We promulgate and update guidelines and rules related to platform operations, and staff provide you with full-process services accordingly; (c) We design and improve internal monitoring and transaction control procedures (e.g., strict identity verification processes) and establish a professional team responsible for AML compliance; (d) We adopt a risk-based approach for customer due diligence and ongoing supervision. For users from jurisdictions listed by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) as requiring enhanced monitoring, we will implement additional enhanced due diligence measures per internal monitoring requirements; (e) We review and regularly examine existing transactions; (f) We will report suspicious transactions to competent authorities; (g) Identity documents, proof of address, transaction records, and other evidentiary documents are retained for at least six (6) years. If such documents are submitted to regulatory authorities, we may not notify you separately.

18.4 Identity Information (a) Information we collect may differ based on applicable laws of relevant jurisdictions and the nature of the entity. If you register as an individual, we will generally collect: i) Basic personal information: Name, address (if different from permanent address, provide separately), date of birth, nationality, and other available information. Identity verification is based on documents issued by official or similar institutions, such as passports, ID cards, or other identity documents required by relevant jurisdictions. The address you provide will be verified by appropriate means, e.g., checking transportation tickets you use, utility bills, or voter registers. ii) Valid photo: Your identity document must be provided before registration. iii) Contact details: Phone/mobile number and valid email address. (b) If you are a legal entity, we collect the following information to determine the ultimate beneficial owner of the account or trust account: i) Entity's company registration and incorporation certificates; ii) Copies of articles of association and memorandum; iii) Detailed proof materials of the entity's ownership structure and description; iv) Board resolution regarding appointment of authorized agent for the entity (responsible for account opening and operation); v) Identity documents of the entity's directors, major shareholders, and authorized signatories of the account; vi) Entity's principal business address (if different from mailing address, provide separately). If the entity's local address differs from the principal business address, the entity will be considered high-risk, requiring additional documents; vii) Other documentary evidence, documents issued by competent authorities, and documents we deem necessary based on applicable law and the nature of the entity. (c) We only accept identity information in English or Chinese versions. If your documents are not in these languages, they must be translated into English and formally notarized.

18.5 Confirmation and Verification (a) You need to provide both sides of the identity document. (b) Copies of documentary evidence must be compared with originals. If a credible certifier (e.g., ambassador, judicial officer, or local magistrate) can certify the copy is identical to the original, the copy is considered valid. (c) Identification of the ultimate beneficial owner and controller of an account is based on determining the actual owner or controller of the entity or confirming transactions are conducted by others. If you are an entity, the identity of major shareholders holding 10% or more voting rights must be verified.

18.6 Your KYC and AML Compliance Obligations (a) You hereby confirm that all information provided to meet KYC, AML, or other regulatory requirements is true, accurate, complete, and updated timely. (b) You acknowledge and agree that keeping information current is crucial for compliance, and you are responsible for updating it immediately upon changes. This includes but is not limited to changes in personal identity details, contact information, and financial status. (c) You understand and agree that failure to provide accurate, complete, and updated information may lead to non-compliance consequences (e.g., legal liability or service suspension), for which you are solely responsible. (d) You agree to indemnify and hold harmless us, our affiliates, officers, and employees from and against any and all claims, losses, expenses (including legal fees) arising from your breach of obligations under this Agreement (including providing outdated, false, or incomplete information).

(c) If a specific transaction is deemed suspicious, we may take measures such as suspending or rejecting the transaction, and if necessary, reverse the transaction as soon as possible and report to competent authorities without notifying you. (d) We have the right to reject applicants who do not meet international AML standards or may be considered politically exposed persons; we have the right to suspend or terminate suspicious transactions based on internal assessment without constituting a breach of obligation to you.
