Disclaimer

1. No Investment, Legal, or Tax Advice

Nothing on this website, in our stores, or in any communication from our staff constitutes investment, financial, legal, accounting, or tax advice. We are a Money Services Business that executes digital asset purchases and sales at your direction; we do not recommend any digital asset, and we do not advise on whether buying, selling, or holding any digital asset is suitable for you. Consult a qualified professional before making financial decisions.

2. Digital Asset Risk

Digital assets such as Bitcoin are highly volatile. Prices can rise or fall significantly in short periods, and you can lose some or all of the value of the digital assets you purchase. Digital assets are not legal tender, are not backed by any government, and are generally not covered by deposit protections such as FDIC or SIPC insurance. Past performance is no indication of future results. Never trade more than you can afford to lose.

3. Quotes, Rate Locks, and Fees

Rates quoted at our counter, by our desk, or on this website reflect the market at the time of the quote plus our service fee. A quoted rate becomes binding only when it is locked at the time you approve the transaction; until then, quotes are indicative and can change with the market. Our applicable fees and final exchange rate are disclosed to you before you complete a transaction. See our Terms of Service for the current fee schedule. Market data shown on this site (including the Live Market page) is for information only and is not an offer at that price.

4. Transactions Are Irreversible

Blockchain transactions cannot be reversed, canceled, or recalled once broadcast. Completed purchases and sales are final. It is your responsibility to provide a correct wallet address and to safeguard your wallet and its recovery phrase; digital assets sent to an address you provided cannot be retrieved by us. Beware of anyone who instructs you to buy cryptocurrency and send it to them — see our scam awareness guide.

5. Identity Verification and Compliance

As a FinCEN-registered Money Services Business, we are required to comply with the Bank Secrecy Act and applicable anti-money-laundering laws. Every transaction requires a valid government-issued photo ID, and transactions may be delayed, limited, or declined where required by law or by our compliance program. Transactions must be for your own benefit — not on behalf of a third party.

6. No Fiduciary or Custodial Relationship

We act as a counterparty to your purchase or sale, not as your broker, adviser, or fiduciary. After settlement we do not hold, custody, or manage your digital assets; coins are delivered to a wallet you control, and its security is your responsibility.

7. Website Content and Third Parties

Content on this website is provided “as is” for general information and may contain errors or become outdated; we make no warranty as to its accuracy or completeness. Links to third-party websites, products, or services are provided for convenience only — we do not control and are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices.

8. Service Availability

Our services are available only where lawful and are subject to eligibility, verification, and transaction limits described in our Terms of Service. Nothing on this website is an offer to provide services in any jurisdiction where we are not authorized to operate.
