By using this website (“Site”), registering for a Coinbitco account (“Account”) or using any other services, products, data, content or other material available through the Site (“Services”) and provided by Coinbitco (“we”, “us”, “our”), you (“you, your, or yourself”) are agreeing to accept and comply with the terms and conditions of use stated below (“Terms of Use” or “Terms”). You should read the entire Terms of Use carefully before using this Site or any of the Services.
IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE TERMS OF USE AND CONDITIONS OUTLINED BELOW, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS THIS SITE NOR USE THE SERVICES.
These Terms of Use were last updated on August 1, 2022. Coinbitco reserves the right to change, add or remove parts of these Terms at any time and at its sole discretion. We will notify you of any changes in advance through your Account. Upon such notification, it is your responsibility to review the amended Terms.

Imperator Limited UAB (trading as “Coinbitco”) is incorporated in Lithuania under the registration number 306084809 with its registered office at Konstitucijos av. 21A, Vilnius, LT-08130, Lithuania.
The Services allow registered users of the Services (“Members”) to:
Depending on your country of residence, incorporation or registered office, you may not be able to use all the functions of the Site or Services. You are responsible for following the rules and laws in your country of residence and/or country from which you access this Site and the Services.
Coinbitco grants you the personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and limited right to enter and use the Site and the Services as long as you agree to and comply with these Terms of Use. All our Services are provided without warranty of any kind, either express or implied and, in particular, without implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
We do not guarantee that the Services and the Site will be available 100% of the time to meet your needs. We will strive to provide you with the Services as soon as possible. But, there are no guarantees that access will not be interrupted or that there will be no delays, failures, errors, omissions or loss of transmitted information.
We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that you can access the Services and the Site per the present Terms of Use. However, we may suspend the use of the Site and Services for maintenance and will make reasonable efforts to give you prior notice of this.
You acknowledge in this context that this may not be possible in an emergency and accept the risks associated with the fact that you may not always be able to use the Services and the Site or carry out urgent transactions using your Account.
The creation and use of your Account are subject to verifications, as required by statutory and regulatory obligations incumbent on us. You agree to provide us with the information we request for the purposes of identity verification, compliance with know-your-customer rules, as well as detection of money laundering, terrorism financing, fraud or any other financial crime. The requested information may include Personal Data (please refer to our Privacy Policy).
By providing us with the information we request, you confirm that it is true and accurate and agree to inform us in case of change concerning such information. Your Account will be blocked until we are satisfied with the information you have provided and determine in our sole discretion that it is sufficient to validate your Account. In the meantime, you will not be allowed to terminate your Account or request the deletion of the Personal Data processed in the course of verification operations.
We expressly reserve the right to cancel and/or terminate Accounts that the Member has not verified despite efforts made in good faith by us to contact you to obtain such verification (“Unverified Accounts”). All Unverified Accounts which have been inactive for 6 months or more are further subject to transfer to a third-party escrow (the “Unverified Escrow”) and will no longer be maintained or under our legal responsibility.
The administrator/trustee of the Unverified Escrow shall make any additional reasonable efforts required by law to determine and contact each Unverified Account owner and, after suitable effort and time has been expended, we may be required to convert the residual Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets into fiat and send it to a national authority responsible for the safekeeping of such funds.
You may fund your Account via wire deposit or Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) deposits.
If you have chosen to fund your Account via wire deposits, funds from a wire deposit will be made available for trading on your Account as soon as they are settled. Please note that the deposit settlement times are subject to bank holidays, the processes of partner banks and the processes of your bank. In addition to that, deposit settlement times may be delayed because of any technical issues.
We do not accept fiat currency deposits from third-party bank accounts. The name on your linked bank account must match the name verified on your Coinbitco Account. We will reject and return the wire immediately if a wire transfer is received from a third-party bank account.
Your Account, once funded, does not and will not earn interest.
If you have enabled ACH funding for your Account, ACH deposit amount will be available for trading on your Account upon receipt of your deposit. We will withhold any funds deposited or any Virtual Assets or Digital Assets bought with them from withdrawal until they are deemed settled. After any such funds are deemed settled, you will be able to make withdrawals again.
Please note that the deposit settlement times are subject to bank holidays, the processes of partner banks and the processes of your bank. In addition to that, deposit settlement times may be delayed because of any technical issues.
We reserve the right to increase or decrease your daily, monthly and overall limits or make them temporarily or permanently unavailable. This may be done without notice and at our sole discretion.
If you are an individual, you can perform an instant Purchase Transaction using your credit or debit card (“Card Purchase”). The Fees we charge to process instant Purchase Transactions are detailed in our Fee Schedule.
When making a Card Purchase on our website or mobile app, your card data is automatically stored by our payment service provider via a tokenization process. A sensitive data element (PAN-card number) is substituted with a non-sensitive equivalent called a token. This tokenization process is designed to keep your data safe and secure from unauthorised access. You can only register a credit or debit card held in your name.
Our appointed payment services provider may save and store payment information, such as credit card or debit card numbers and card expiration dates, entered by you on our website when you make a Card Purchase. Such stored payment information may be used as your default payment method for further Card Purchases on our website or mobile app.
You can delete your card information or enter new card information at any time. If your card has expired, the payment information relating to that particular card will not be stored anymore by our payment service provider, and you will be prompted to indicate your new card information the next time you want to proceed with a Card Purchase. You are responsible for maintaining your card information up-to-date and accurate.
You consent to Coinbitco updating such stored information from time to time based on information provided by you, your bank or other payments services providers. You will only provide data about payment methods that you are authorized to use. If you have questions about making a Card Purchase, see our FAQ page.
All sales and purchases of Virtual Assets and other Digital Assets done with any payment method are final. We do not accept returns or refunds for your purchase of Virtual Assets or any other Digital Assets from Coinbitco, except for the cases provided in these Terms of Use.
If the exchange of fiat currency to Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets is not processed because of any technical issues or high price volatility during the card purchase procedure, Coinbitco will credit the Member’s account with fiat currency.
The following organizations may link to our Website without prior written approval:
Keep Your Information Up-to-Date
We are vigilant in maintaining the security of our Site and the Services. By registering with us, you agree to provide Coinbitco with current, accurate and complete information about yourself, including, for legal entities, information on directors, key personnel and beneficial owners, as well as company resolution to open the Account, as prompted by the registration process, and to keep such information updated.
If you are an individual, you further agree that you will not use any Account other than your own or access the Account of any other Member at any time or assist others in obtaining unauthorised access. The creation or use of Accounts without obtaining our prior express permission will result in the immediate suspension of all said Accounts, as well as all pending purchase/sale offers.
Any attempt to do so or to assist others (Members or otherwise), or the distribution of instructions, software or tools for that purpose, will result in the Accounts of such Members being terminated. Termination is not the exclusive remedy for such a violation, and we may elect to take further action against you.
Maintain the Confidentiality of Your Account Information
You are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account information, including your password, safeguarding your own Virtual Assets and Digital Assets, and all activity, including Transactions that are posted to your Account (including all Instructions to Coinbitco). Any actions on the Site, transactions, orders, Instructions and operations initiated from your Account or using your password are (1) considered to have been made by you and (2) irrevocable once validated using your password or made through your Account.
If there is suspicious activity related to your Account, we may, but are not obligated to, request additional information from you, including authenticating documents, and freeze any transactions pending our review. You are obligated to comply with these security requests or accept the termination of your Account. You are required to notify Coinbitco immediately of any unauthorised use of your Account or password or any other breach of security by email to [email protected]. Any Member who violates these rules may be terminated, and thereafter held liable for losses incurred by Coinbitco or any user of the Site and Services.
You acknowledge that you will only credit your Coinbitco Account from a bank account in your own name and that you will instruct payments from your Coinbitco Account only to a bank account in your own name. We reserve the right to cancel transfers made by or sent to third parties.
Keep Your Virtual and Digital Assets Safe
Coinbitco’s role is limited to providing you with a platform via the Services under which we act solely as a service provider, as your agent and in accordance with your Instructions for the management and transfer of Virtual Assets and other Digital Assets.
We do not store any Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets directly. Still, where you Instruct us to arrange for any Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets owned by you (including any bought on your behalf) to be held until we receive further Instruction from you to sell or transfer them (with any deposit of Digital Assets and/or Virtual Assets being deemed to be such an Instruction), we will, acting on your behalf, appoint one or more third-parties as a custodian and to hold the relevant Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets as a custodian in accordance with our agency authority (see below).
The custodian services will be provided on terms that apply directly between the custodian(s) and you and form an integral part of these Terms of Use. By agreeing to these Terms of Use you acknowledge and agree with custodial services terms available here and here, wherein the latter terms apply to you only if you have requested service(s) provided by that custodian at least once (e.g. having Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets held by that custodian on your Account; the list of supported Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets by that custodian is available here). Coinbitco does not directly provide, charge for and is not responsible for, custodian services.
Any issues you have relating to custodian services should be taken up by you with the custodians. However, we may, on your behalf, provide assistance in accordance with our agency authority (see below)
Notwithstanding the direct custodial relationship between the custodian(s) and you, if for any reason Coinbitco is held or declared to have any legal or beneficial interest in your Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets, Coinbitco will hold on trust for you all such right title and interest which Coinbitco is held or declared to have and will not transfer or sell any Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets other than following your Instructions (which includes any instructions mandated by law, regulatory authority or enforcement agencies).
In order for us to manage the Site, provide the Services and create a direct relationship between you and the third-party custodian(s) to hold the relevant Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets as custodian on your behalf, you appoint Coinbitco as your agent with a perpetual and irrevocable (other than in the event of Account termination) agency authority to act as your agent to:
By agreeing to these Terms of Use, you acknowledge and agree that in doing so, you instruct us on an irrevocable ongoing basis to undertake all of the actions mentioned above on your behalf. You cannot revoke this ongoing Instruction by closing your Account, in which case it will lapse when your Account is closed.
As a result of this limited agency relationship, we do not, and you agree that we do not, have or acquire any rights, title or interest in any Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets that are held on your behalf by the third-party custodian(s).
We are not an intermediary, do not acquire any rights, title or interest in, and do not assume and have no rights or control over any Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets or any other Member assets other than in respect of actions taken per our agency authority and your Instructions. As a result, we will not transfer or sell any Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets other than in accordance with your Instructions (which includes any instructions mandated by law, regulatory authority or enforcement agencies).
We charge Fees for our Services. Fees are described and available in our Fee Schedule. We reserve the right to change our Fees at any time and at our sole discretion. You will be notified of any changes in advance through your Account or email. Upon such notification, you must review the amended Fee Schedule.
Your continued use of the Site following the posting of a notice of Fee changes signifies that you accept and agree to the changes. We will not charge you any fees other than the Fees set out in the Fee Schedule. We may not use Digital Assets and/or Virtual Assets in any way to generate revenue other than in connection with the charging of Fees as set out in the Fee Schedule.
You may close your Account at any time.
You may terminate this agreement with Coinbitco and close your Account at any time here, following settlement of any pending Transactions.
We may close or suspend or freeze your Account on notice.
We may, by giving notice, at our sole discretion:
Additionally, we may, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, suspend or terminate Accounts of Members for any reason, including without limitation:
The suspension or escrow of an Account shall not affect the payment of Fees due for past Transactions.
Upon termination or suspension, you shall send details of a valid bank account to allow for the transfer of any currencies credited to their account. This bank account must be held by you. Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets may be transferred to a valid bank account only after conversion into a fiat currency. We shall transfer the currencies as soon as possible following your request and within the specified time frames.
We will arrange to send you the credit balance of your Account; however, in certain circumstances, a number of intermediaries may be involved in an international payment, and these or the beneficiary bank may deduct charges. We will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that such charges are disclosed to you prior to sending your payment; however, where they cannot be avoided, you acknowledge that these charges cannot always be calculated in advance and that you agree to be responsible for such charges.
Upon Account closure, any amount less than 25 USD/EUR in value will not be returned.
We reserve the right not to convert Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets into fiat and to return them to a Wallet that belongs to the Member.
We similarly reserve the right to freeze Ripple accounts in accordance with the Ripple Labs policy, which took effect on 15 September 2014. Please see the explanation provided by Ripple Labs below:
The freeze protocol extension allows gateways to 1) globally freeze all their issued funds or 2) freeze funds issued to a specific user. Frozen funds may only be sent back to the issuing gateway. The global freeze feature allows a gateway to freeze all balances it issues. The gateway may still issue payments. Accounts holding frozen balances may return the funds to the gateway. This feature is useful for migrating users from one account to another and to safeguard users if the gateway account is compromised.
The individual freeze is primarily intended to comply with regulatory requirements, which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. It also allows gateways to freeze individual accounts issuances in order to investigate suspicious activity. These features allow gateways to better operate in compliance with laws and regulations.
For the avoidance of doubt, any action taken by Coinbitco to suspend, delay, cancel or freeze any instructions and/or to suspend your Account will not affect your rights, title or interest in respect of your Virtual Assets and other Digital Assets which are held by a third-party custodian(s) on your behalf, but may affect Coinbitco’s ability to execute your Instructions, which you hereby acknowledge and agree.
The trading of goods and products, real or virtual, as well as virtual currencies involves significant risk (click here for more information). 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 due to buying, selling or trading anything on a market
Virtual Asset and Digital Asset trading also have special risks not generally shared with official currencies, goods or commodities in a market. Unlike most currencies, which are backed by governments or other legal entities or by commodities such as gold or silver, Virtual Assets and Digital Assets are a unique type of asset, backed by technology and trust. No central bank can issue more cryptocurrency or take corrective measures to protect the value of Virtual Assets and Digital Assets in a crisis.
Instead, Virtual Assets and Digital Assets are an as-yet autonomous and largely unregulated global system of cryptocurrency firms and individuals. Traders put their trust in a digital, decentralised and partially anonymous system that relies on peer-to-peer networking and cryptography to maintain its integrity.
The trading of Virtual Assets and Digital Assets is often susceptible to irrational (or rational) bubbles or loss of confidence, which could collapse demand relative to supply. For example, confidence in Virtual Assets and Digital Assets might collapse 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 system's anonymity is compromised, if money is lost or stolen, or if hackers or governments can prevent any transactions from settling. There may be additional risks that we have not foreseen or identified in our Terms of Use.
You should carefully assess whether your financial situation and tolerance for risk are suitable for buying, selling or trading Virtual Assets or Digital Assets. We use our banking providers in order to facilitate the receipt of fiat currency from Members and payments to other Members. Our banking providers DO NOT transfer, exchange or provide any services in connection with Virtual Assets or Digital Assets.
Your fiat currency will be held in a bank account in the name of Coinbitco together with other Members' fiat currency. Where possible, in a relevant jurisdiction which recognises the concept of a client account, we will notify the relevant banking provider that the bank account is a client account in which we hold fiat currency on behalf of Members. You will, in any event, remain the beneficial owner of the fiat currency that we have on your behalf.
We will maintain detailed records of all fiat currency held on behalf of Members. Whilst Coinbitco uses reasonable care in the appointment of its banking providers, in the event of a banking provider becoming insolvent or entering into an insolvency process in a relevant jurisdiction, Coinbitco may have only an unsecured claim against the banking provider, and Members’ fiat currency balances may be at risk subject to any protections provided at law in the relevant jurisdiction.
We engage with third-party custodians in order to hold Virtual Assets and Digital Assets on your behalf. Your Virtual Assets and Digital Assets will be held on your behalf in a wallet in the name of Coinbitco, together with other Members’ Virtual Assets and/or Digital Assets.
They may also, from time to time, be held in the wallet together with Coinbitco’s Virtual Assets and/or Digital Assets which reflect Coinbitco’s fees, but which are recorded on Coinbitco’s ledger as belonging to Coinbitco and which you instruct Coinbitco to collect by withdrawing them from the wallet. We will maintain detailed records of all Virtual Assets and Digital Assets which Members hold with third-party custodians appointed by us.
As set out above, Coinbitco will act only on your Instructions in respect of Virtual Assets and Digital Assets and does not otherwise acquire any right, title or interest in them. Whilst Coinbitco uses reasonable care in the appointment of third-party custodians, in the event of a third-party custodian becoming insolvent or entering into an insolvency process in a relevant jurisdiction, you may have only an unsecured claim against the third-party custodian. Members' Virtual Assets or Digital Assets may be at risk subject to any protections provided at law in the relevant jurisdiction.
You should carefully assess whether your financial situation and tolerance for risk are suitable for buying, selling or trading Virtual Assets or Digital Assets. We use our banking providers in order to facilitate the receipt of fiat currency from Members and payments to other Members. Our banking providers DO NOT transfer, exchange or provide any services in connection with Virtual Assets or Digital Assets.
At Coinbitco, we strive to provide our customers with the highest account and trading safety levels. As fraudsters and scammers do not avoid trading platforms, our approach is to raise awareness among our customers about common fraudulent practices and offer suggestions on how to avoid being defrauded. For more information about common fraudulent practices and tips for recognizing and avoiding scams, see our FAQ page and Blog post.
Before you engage in using our Services and by confirming these Terms of Use, you agree and acknowledge that:
Coinbitco has no control over the software protocols which govern or constitute the framework of Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets. Therefore, Coinbitco assumes no responsibility for the update or any modification of the underlying protocols, and Coinbitco cannot guarantee their functionality, security or availability.
By accepting the present Terms of Use, you acknowledge and accept the risk that underlying software protocols relating to any of the virtual currencies available on the Site are likely to be subject to sudden changes in operating rules (hereafter “fork”) or distribution of Virtual Asset (“airdrops”). Such forks or airdrops may materially affect the value, function and/or the name of the virtual currencies that are exchanged or acquired through the Site.
Coinbitco will use reasonable endeavours to provide you with notice of forks or airdrops by publishing such notice on the Site, including, to the extent possible, whether Coinbitco intends to support airdrops, either or both branches of a fork, and you agree that you will read such notices to decide in that respect. However, we have no obligation to support any specific forks, airdrops or similar distribution events.
It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of and consider how to deal with upcoming forks or airdrops, including whether to give us Instructions for the withdrawal of the balance of any Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets. In the event of a fork or airdrop, there is a risk that Coinbitco may need to temporarily suspend operations in relation to that fork or airdrops without providing advance notice to you. Coinbitco may decline to support either or both branches of a fork or an airdrop in its reasonable discretion.
You acknowledge that third-party custodian-service providers may operate fork or airdrop policies and, under their terms as entered into with you in respect of custodian services, may not be obliged (or able) to support all or any forks or airdrops. You should ensure you check their fork or airdrop policies regularly (as well as the terms of your agreement with custodian-service providers instructed by Coinbitco on your behalf and available here and here) and whenever you become aware of a forthcoming fork or airdrop.
Notwithstanding that a third-party custodian-service provider may support a particular cryptocurrency, including a fork or airdrop, this will not oblige Coinbitco to support that cryptocurrency, airdrop or fork. In the event of a fork or an airdrop which affects Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets held pursuant to these Terms of Use, and which is unsupported by Coinbitco:
In the event that we subsequently decide to support the forked or airdropped Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets, Coinbitco will then give effect to your Instructions.
By agreeing to the present Terms of Use, you acknowledge the risks presented by forks or airdrops. You accept that we have no responsibility to assist you in moving or selling Virtual Assets or other Digital Assets of an unsupported branch of a forked or airdropped protocol.
Wash Trading
We do not allow you to cross trade, either alone or in collaboration with others, or to place an order, which would result in a self-execution—i.e., where the same trader or group of traders would act as both the maker and taker for the trade.
If two orders of opposing sides would result in a crossed trade, both orders are subject to specific measures, ranging from scrutiny, cancellation, suspension or prohibition to trade on the Site. If two orders of the same quantity would result in self-execution, both orders are subject to specific measures, ranging from scrutiny, cancellation, suspension or prohibition to trade on the Site.
Market Manipulation
You are prohibited from engaging or attempting to engage in market manipulation. This prohibition applies to any kind of activity that results in or has the purpose of:
Market manipulation will trigger specific measures, ranging from scrutiny, cancellation of orders, suspension or prohibition to trade on the Site and disclosure to third parties, including full disclosure to competent authorities.
We reserve the right to suspend, delay or cancel an Instruction or series of Instructions issued by a Member or colluding Members, which, if executed, would result in a price swing of 5% or more of the value of a cryptocurrency available on the Site.
You will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in destabilization or manipulation of the price of Virtual Assets or Digital Assets, which are available on the Site.
The Coinbitco Fee Schedule defines the minimum trade size.
You agree not to use the Services to perform criminal activity of any sort, including but not limited to money laundering, illegal gambling operations, terrorist financing, malicious hacking or any unlawful or illegal activity.
You will refrain from using your Account, the Site and Services for any other use than your personal use, unless you are a legal entity that has opened a corporate account with us.
Unless otherwise specified, all materials on this Site, including, but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons and images (“Materials”), are the property of Coinbitco and are protected by copyright, trademark and other applicable laws. You may view, print and/or download a copy of the Materials from this Site on any single computer solely for your personal, informational and/or non-commercial use, provided you comply with all copyright and other proprietary notices.
The trademarks, service marks and logos of Coinbitco and others used on this Site (“Trademarks”) are the property of Coinbitco and their respective owners. The software, text, images, graphics, data, prices, trades, charts, graphs, video and audio used on this Site belong to Coinbitco. The Trademarks and Material should not be copied, reproduced, modified, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, scraped, collected or distributed in any form or by any means, whether manual or automated.
Using any such Materials on any other website or networked computer environment for any other purpose is strictly prohibited; any such unauthorised use may violate copyright, trademark and other applicable laws and could result in criminal or civil penalties.
You are fully responsible for any mistakes, errors or defects that may arise during any transaction that leads to partial or complete loss of your Digital Assets and/or Virtual Assets. Coinbitco shall not be liable for any damages resulting from any actions previously described. Coinbitco shall in no case be liable for any loss, including, but not limited to, transfers between addresses, transactions, deposits or withdrawals resulting from your improper actions or activities, or erroneous transactions, deposits or withdrawals resulting in your Digital Assets and/or Virtual Assets being lost.
Coinbitco shall not compensate you for any losses from such actions or activities. Coinbitco may provide, in certain circumstances, an investigation and possible recovery of the lost Digital Assets and/or Virtual Assets as a payable service. Therefore, Coinbitco may, upon the request of a Member, utilize its best efforts to attempt to return misdirected Digital Assets and/or Virtual Assets to the Member. Requests for transaction recovery shall be sent to [email protected].
After receiving the transaction recovery request, Coinbitco will make a preliminary assessment for each transaction and reserves the right to refuse the recovery of a particular transaction.
Coinbitco will charge an investigation fee for any such investigation. The fee shall amount to 10% of the value of lost Digital Assets and/or Virtual Assets but in no case less than 100.00 USD/EUR. The fee will be charged and shall be paid by the Member in Digital Assets or Virtual Assets which are subject to the transaction recovery. Coinbitco may investigate transactions that occurred not more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the request for the recovery of Digital Assets and/or Virtual Assets.
Coinbitco will not attempt to recover transactions with the value below 100.00 USD/EUR. Due to the specifics and case-by-case nature, Coinbitco does not, in any way, guarantee success and shall not be liable if the investigation is ineffective or unsuccessful, nor can Coinbitco provide the exact timing for such investigations, but will strive to provide feedback within a reasonable time.
