You acknowledge and agree that your continued use of the Platform after such change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Nature of DeeX Platform

We are a cryptoasset service provider engaged in the provision of a range of services including those outlined below;
  • Hosted Wallet and Custodial Services
    On the DeeX Platform, you may host your wallet for the collection and transfer of cryptoassets of a specified kind. We determine based on internal listing rules the types of cryptoassets that you can hold on our hosted wallet or through our cryptoasset custodial service.
  • Over-The-Counter Trades
    Aside from our hosted services, you may also make one-time cryptoasset purchases from our Platform. This includes small orders and large, bulk orders to a specified cryptoasset wallet subject to our compliance requirements and a specified agreement between DeeX and you.
  • Gift and stored value cards
    You may also purchase gift and stored value cards from the DeeX Platform. However, this must be in compliance with the policy of DeeX and after proper Know Your Customer (KYC) measures have been completed.
  • Cryptoasset Payment Services
    You may accept or receive payments from your customers through our Platform. Where this is done, the rates shall be as previously disclosed for the day and within the time range when the actual transaction occurs or is consummated.

Account Authorisation

When you open a wallet or account with DeeX or on our Platform, you will be required to create a password and other authentication measures. This is to help us ensure that whoever is opening and using the account is either yourself or someone you have duly authorised. The following are some key terms in relation to your account authorisation;
  • Password Maintenance
    Your passwords are best curated in line with best practices. You may review the GDPR password standard here or use other resources while coming up with your unique passwords. We recommend a periodic change of passwords and may introduce measures to force such review after some time. You acknowledge and agree to abide by our password standards.
  • Account takeover or Security Breach
    If you find any suspicious activity in relation to your account or you have reasons to believe that someone is trying to hack into or take over your account, please contact our fraud desk via privacy@deexoptions.com or customer service team via support@deexoptions.com so that we can place your account on hold as an interim measure to protect your assets.

    However, please note that such prompt reporting does not mean that DeeX will reimburse you or indemnify you for amounts lost to the account takeover or security breach.
  • No reversals and cancellations of orders
    If after due authentication and login to your account, an order for cryptoassets or gift cards is made from your account, you acknowledge and agree that the order is and at all times should be deemed as yours. You further acknowledge and agree that we will not process any reversal of purchase or cancellation of orders after it has been made.

Wallet Transfers

  • Outbound Transfers
    You may make payouts on the DeeX platform to other cryptoasset wallets. However, please note that as a centralised exchange we may prohibit or restrict certain payouts to exchanges known to facilitate or involve financial crimes to manage our own compliance risks.
  • Inbound Transfers
    You may collect payments and transfers from other crypto-asset wallets into your DeeX wallets on the Platform. However, you acknowledge and agree that all payments and transfers made into your DeeX wallet shall be from a legitimate source(s). Where necessary, we may require you to provide proof of funds, source of funds or an explanation of the economic purpose of the payment in accordance with our compliance obligations under the law.
