Term of Service

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING THE "CREATE ACCOUNT" BUTTON OR BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND ALL TERMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE.

Summary of Terms of Service

This summary of our Terms of Service offers you an overview of the key terms that apply to your use of our website, trading and other services. While we hope this summary section is helpful, you should read the complete Terms of Service below since they provide important information about how our services work. Please note that we refer to our online service where you can execute trades and access our services as "KaHou".

KaHou provides you with a platform that matches your trades with open orders from other users of our services at your direction. Users are not able to predetermine a trade with a particular user or with a particular account. Additionally, an order may be partially filled or may be filled by multiple matching orders.

  • Our Services
  • KaHou provides you with a simple and convenient way to trade digital assets (such as bitcoins and ripples) and vice versa, and to trade one type of digital asset for another type of digital asset. You may also use our Services to purchase and sell digital assets directly from and to us. Additionally, the range of services available to you will depend in part upon the country or U.S. state of which you are a resident and from which you access KaHou.

  • Eligibility and Acceptable Use
  • You must meet certain eligibility criteria to use KaHou. For instance, you must be an adult and there are certain locations from which you may not be able to use some or all of KaHou. Additionally, there are certain things you cannot do when using KaHou, such as engage in illegal activities, lie, or do anything that would cause damage to our services or systems. Please see the acceptable use section for more details.

  • Trading Risks
  • Engaging in any trade can be financially risky, and there can be higher financial risks if you engage in any margin transactions, use any other sophisticated trading options, or trade in digital assets that are subject to volatile market price movements. Please don't use KaHou if you do not understand these risks and enter into trades only when you understand the KaHou characteristics of the digital asset you intend to trade, and the potential financial risk of loss trading them entails.

  • Other Important Legal Terms
  • There are important legal terms provided below in the complete Terms of Service, including your indemnification responsibilities, our limitation of liability and warranty disclaimers, and your agreement to arbitrate most disputes. Please take the time to read these terms carefully. You can always contact us through support if you have any questions at https://cex.kahou-trade.com/contactus

4. Privacy Notice

Please refer to our Privacy Notice for information about how we collect, use and share your information.


5. General Obligations

This Section 5 applies to: (i) all trades completed via the Services, (ii) your purchase and/or sale of Digital Assets directly from Python via the Services, and (iii) any transaction in which you load Funds into your KaHou Account from your External Account or transfer Funds from your KaHou Account into an External Account.

  1. Conditions and Restrictions. We may, at any time and in our sole discretion, refuse any trade submitted via the Services, impose limits on the trade amount permitted via the Services or impose any other conditions or restrictions upon your use of the Services for funding your KaHou Account or for trading without prior notice. For example, we may limit the number of open orders that you may establish via the Services or we may restrict trades from certain locations.

  2. Accuracy of Information. You must provide any information required when creating a KaHou Account or when prompted by any screen displayed within the Services. You represent and warrant that any information you provide via the Services is accurate and complete.

  3. Cancellations. You may only cancel an order initiated via the Services if such cancellation occurs before Python executes the transaction. Once your order has been executed, you may not change, withdraw or cancel your authorization for Python to complete such transaction. If an order has been partially filled, you may cancel the unfilled remainder unless the order relates to a market trade. We reserve the right to refuse any cancellation request associated with a market order once you have submitted such order. In contrast to exchange orders, all trades are irreversible once initiated. While we may, at our sole discretion, reverse a trade under certain extraordinary conditions, a customer does not have a right to a reversal of a trade.

  4. Insufficient Funds. If you have an insufficient amount of Funds in your KaHou Account to complete an order via the Services, we may cancel the entire order or may fulfill a partial order using the amount of Funds currently available in your KaHou Account, less any fees owed to Python in connection with our execution of the trade (as described in Section 10).

  5. Taxes. It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the trades you complete via the Services, and it is your responsibility to report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. You agree that Python is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your trades or for collecting, reporting, withholding or remitting any taxes arising from any trades.


6. KaHou Account Funds

  1. Funding your KaHou Account. In order to complete an order or trade via the Services (as described in Section 7), you must first load Funds to your KaHou Account using one of the approved External Accounts identified via the Services. You may be required to verify that you control the External Account that you use to load Funds to your KaHou Account. As further described in Section 10, you may be charged fees by the External Account you use to fund your KaHou Account. Python is not responsible for any External Account fees or for the management and security of any External Account. You are solely responsible for your use of any External Account, and you agree to comply with all terms and conditions applicable to any External Account. The timing associated with a load transaction will depend in part upon the performance of third parties responsible for maintaining the applicable External Account, and Python makes no guarantee regarding the amount of time it may take to load Funds into your KaHou Account. About Funds Held In Your KaHou Account - Be advised that fiat funds held in your KaHou account are exclusively for the purchase of Digital Assets or withdrawal to your approved External Account. Proceeds from the sale of Digital Assets will be credited to your fiat account, less any transactional or other fees. Furthermore, be advised that KaHou does not pay interest on free fiat balances held in your account. Digital Assets Only Accounts - If you have opened a KaHou Account designated as Digital Assets Only, you may only fund your account with digital assets. KaHou will not accept fiat to fund a Digital Assets Only Account. If fiat is transmitted to fund such an account, it will be returned to the sender, less applicable transfer fees.

  2. Transferring Funds to an External Account. Provided that the balance of Funds in your KaHou Account is greater than any minimum balance requirements needed to satisfy any of your open positions, and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 7.8, you may transfer any amount of Funds, up to the total amount of Funds in your KaHou Account in excess of such minimum balance requirements, from your KaHou Account to an External Account, less any fees charged by Python for such transactions (as described in the Fee Schedule at the time of your request to transfer Funds to an External Account).

  3. Load/Transfer Authorization. When you request that we load Funds into your KaHou Account from your External Account or request that we transfer Funds to your External Account from your KaHou Account, you authorize Python to execute such transaction via the Services.

  4. Rejected Transactions. In some cases, the External Account may reject your Funds or may otherwise be unavailable to receive your Funds. You agree that you will not hold Python liable for any damages resulting from such rejected transactions.


7. Exchange Orders and Trades

This Section applies only when you use the Services to trade Digital Assets for Legal Tender or vice versa, or to trade Digital Assets for another form of Digital Assets.

  1. Authorization. When you submit a new order via the Services, you authorize Python to execute a transaction in accordance with such order on a spot basis and charge you any applicable fees (as described in Section 10).

  2. Independent relationship. You acknowledge and agree that: (a) Python is not acting as your broker, intermediary, agent, or advisor or in any fiduciary capacity, and (b) no communication or information provided to you by Python shall be considered or construed as advice.

  3. Trade confirmation. Once the Services execute your trade, a confirmation will be electronically made available via the Services detailing the particulars of the trade. You acknowledge and agree that the failure of the Services to provide such confirmation shall not prejudice or invalidate the terms of such trade.

  4. Trade options. Please refer to the Trading Guide, for information about the terminology used in connection with the trading options made available via the Services. If you do not understand the meaning of any trade option, we strongly encourage you not to utilize any of those options.

  5. Market rates. If you select a market trade, Python will attempt, on a commercially reasonable basis, to execute the trade on or close to the prevailing market exchange rate, as defined via the Services. You acknowledge and agree that the exchange rate information made available via our Services may differ from prevailing exchange rates made available via other sources outside of the Services.

  6. Market volatility. Particularly during periods of high volume, illiquidity, fast movement or volatility in the marketplace for any Digital Assets or Legal Tender, the actual market rate at which a market order or trade is executed may be different from the prevailing rate indicated via the Services at the time of your order or trade. You understand that we are not liable for any such price fluctuations. In the event of a market disruption or Force Majeure event (as defined in Section 24), Python may do one or more of the following: (a) suspend access to the Services; or (b) prevent you from completing any actions via the Services, including closing any open positions. Following any such event, when trading resumes, you acknowledge that prevailing market rates may differ significantly from the rates available prior to such event.

  7. Trade Settlement. Subject to the terms and conditions in these Terms, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to settle trades on a spot basis within two (2) days of the date upon which users have agreed to execute a trade via the Services.


8. Risk Disclosure

  1. Trading risks. You acknowledge and agree that you shall access and use the Services at your own risk. The risk of loss in trading Digital Asset pairs and Digital Asset and Legal Tender pairs can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. You should be aware of the following points:

    1. You may sustain a total loss of the Funds in your KaHou Account, and, in some cases, you may incur losses beyond such Funds.

    2. Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for example, when the market reaches a daily price fluctuation limit or there is insufficient liquidity in the market.

    3. All Digital Asset positions involve risk, and a "spread" position may not be less risky than an outright "long" or "short" position.

    4. The use of leverage can work against you as well as for you and can lead to large losses as well as gains. Refer to our termofservice.disclosure for more information about the unique and specific risks involved with margin transactions.

  2. Internet transmission risks. You acknowledge that there are risks associated with utilizing an Internet-based trading system including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware, software, and Internet connections. You acknowledge that Python shall not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when trading via the Services, however caused.


9. Digital Asset Terms of Sale

This Section applies only when you use the Services to purchase or sell Digital Assets directly from Python, a service available in limited jurisdictions only.

  1. Prices; Availability. All prices reflect the exchange rates applicable to the purchase or sale of Digital Assets using the Legal Tender or alternative form of Digital Assets identified in your purchase order. All Digital Asset sales and purchases by Python are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to discontinue the sale and purchase of Digital Assets without notice.

  2. Errors. In the event of an error, whether via our Services, in a purchase order confirmation, in processing your purchase, or otherwise, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your purchase transaction accordingly (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the purchase and refund any amount received. Your sole remedy in the event of an error is to cancel your purchase order and obtain a refund of any amount charged.

  3. Payment Method. Only valid payment methods specified by us may be used to purchase Digital Assets. By placing an order to purchase Digital Assets from Python, you represent and warrant that (a) you are authorized to use the designated payment method and (b) you authorize us, or our payment processor, to charge your designated payment method. If the payment method you designate cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your purchase order may be suspended or cancelled automatically. You agree to resolve any problems we encounter in order to proceed with your purchase order.

  4. No Returns or Refunds. All sales and purchases of Digital Assets by Python via the Services are final. We do not accept any returns or provide refunds for your purchase of Digital Assets from Python, except as otherwise provided in these Terms.


10. Fees

  1. Amount of Fees. In addition to the fees specified in Section 7.8.7, you agree to pay Python the fees for trades completed via our Services ("Fees") as made available via the Fees and Pair Info ("Fee Schedule"), which we may change from time to time. Changes to the Fee Schedule are effective as of the effective date indicated in the posting of the revised Fee Schedule to the Services, and will apply prospectively to any trades that take place following the effective date of such revised Fee Schedule.

  2. Third-Party Fees. In addition to the Fees, your External Account may impose fees in connection with your use of your designated External Account via the Services. Any fees imposed by your External Account provider will not be reflected on the transaction screens containing information regarding applicable Fees. You are solely responsible for paying any fees imposed by an External Account provider.

  3. Payment of Fees. You authorize us, or our designated payment processor, to charge or deduct your KaHou Account Funds for any applicable Fees owed in connection with trades you complete via the Services.

  4. Collection-Related Costs. If you fail to pay Fees or any other amounts owed to Python under these Terms and Python refers your account(s) to a third party for collection, then Python will charge you the lesser of an 18% collection fee or the maximum percentage permitted by applicable law, to cover Python's collection-related costs.


11. Electronic Notices

  1. Consent to Electronic Delivery. You agree and consent to receive electronically all communications, agreements, documents, receipts, notices and disclosures (collectively, "Communications") that Python provides in connection with your KaHou Account and/or use of the Python Services. You agree that Python may provide these Communications to you by posting them via the Services, by emailing them to you at the email address you provide, and/or by sending an SMS or text message to a mobile phone number that you provide. Your carrier's normal, messaging, data and other rates and fees may apply to any mobile Communications. You should maintain copies of electronic Communications by printing a paper copy or saving an electronic copy. You may also contact us through support https://cex.kahou-trade.com/contactus to request additional electronic copies of Communications or, for a fee, paper copies of Communications (as described below).

  2. Hardware and Software Requirements. In order to access and retain electronic Communications, you will need a computer with an Internet connection that has a current web browser with cookies enabled and 128-bit encryption. You will also need to have a valid email address on file with Python and have sufficient storage space to save past Communications or an installed printer to print them.

  3. Withdrawal of Consent. You may withdraw your consent to receive electronic Communications by sending a withdrawal notice to support https://cex.kahou-trade.com/contactus. If you decline or withdraw consent to receive electronic Communications, Python may suspend or terminate your use of the Services. Unsubscribe requests submitted here may take up to 10 business days to process.

  4. Updating Contact Information. It is your responsibility to keep your email address and/or mobile phone number on file with Python up to date so that Python can communicate with you electronically. You understand and agree that if Python sends you an electronic Communication but you do not receive it because your email address or mobile phone number on file is incorrect, out of date, blocked by your service provider, or you are otherwise unable to receive electronic Communications, Python will be deemed to have provided the Communication to you. Please note that if you use a spam filter that blocks or re-routes emails from senders not listed in your email address book, you must add Python to your email address book so that you will be able to receive the Communications we send to you. You can update your email address, mobile phone number or street address at any time by logging into your KaHou Account or by sending such information to support https://cex.kahou-trade.com/contactus. If your email address or mobile phone number becomes invalid such that electronic Communications sent to you by Python are returned, Python may deem your account to be inactive, and you may not be able to complete any transaction via our Services until we receive a valid, working email address or mobile phone number from you.


12. Unclaimed Property

If for any reason Python is holding Funds in your KaHou Account on your behalf, and Python is unable to return your Funds to your designated External Account after a period of inactivity, then Python may report and remit such Funds in accordance with applicable state unclaimed property laws.


13. Acceptable Use

Any Feedback you submit is non-confidential and shall become the sole property of Python. We will be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of such Feedback for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you. You waive any rights you may have to the Feedback (including any copyrights or moral rights). Do not send us Feedback if you expect to be paid or want to continue to own or claim rights in them; your idea might be great, but we may have already had the same or a similar idea and we do not want disputes. We also have the right to disclose your identity to any third party who is claiming that any content posted by you constitutes a violation of their intellectual property rights, or of their right to privacy.

16. Trademarks

"Python," "KaHou," the KaHou logo, the Python logo and any other Python product or service names, logos or slogans that may appear on our Services are trademarks of Python, in the United States and in other countries, and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without our prior written permission.

In addition, the look and feel of our Services, including all page headers, custom graphics, button icons and scripts, is the service mark, trademark and/or trade dress of Python and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without our prior written permission. All other trademarks, registered trademarks, product names and company names or logos mentioned through our Services are the property of their respective owners.

18. Suspension; Termination

In the event of any Force Majeure Event (as defined in Section 24.5), breach of these Terms, or any other event that would make provision of the Services commercially unreasonable for Python, we may, in our discretion and without liability to you, with or without prior notice, suspend your access to all or a portion of our Services. We may terminate your access to the Services in our sole discretion, immediately and without prior notice, and delete or deactivate your KaHou Account and all related information and files in such account without liability to you, including, for instance, in the event that you breach any term of these Terms. In the event of termination, Python will attempt to return any Funds stored in your KaHou Account not otherwise owed to Python, unless Python believes you have committed fraud, negligence or other misconduct.


19. Discontinuance of Services

We may, in our sole discretion and without liability to you, with or without prior notice and at any time, modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any portion of our Services.


20. Disclaimer of Warranties

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN A WRITING BY US, OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM, AND YOU WAIVE, ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT AS TO OUR SERVICES, INCLUDING THE INFORMATION, CONTENT AND MATERIALS CONTAINED THEREIN.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT INFORMATION YOU STORE OR TRANSFER THROUGH OUR SERVICES MAY BECOME IRRETRIEVABLY LOST OR CORRUPTED OR TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE DUE TO A VARIETY OF CAUSES, INCLUDING SOFTWARE FAILURES, PROTOCOL CHANGES BY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, INTERNET OUTAGES, FORCE MAJEURE EVENT OR OTHER DISASTERS INCLUDING THIRD PARTY DDOS ATTACKS, SCHEDULED OR UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, OR OTHER CAUSES EITHER WITHIN OR OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP AND MAINTAINING DUPLICATE COPIES OF ANY INFORMATION YOU STORE OR TRANSFER THROUGH OUR SERVICES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied terms in contracts with consumers, so some or all of the disclaimers in this section may not apply to you.


21. Limitation of Liability

(a) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PYTHON, OUR DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF PROFITS OR LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE OUR SERVICES OR THE PYTHON MATERIALS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY OR RESULTING FROM RELIANCE BY ANY USER ON ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM PYTHON, OR THAT RESULT FROM MISTAKES, OMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS, DELETION OF FILES OR EMAIL, ERRORS, DEFECTS, VIRUSES, DELAYS IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION OR ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, WHETHER OR NOT RESULTING FROM A FORCE MAJEURE EVENT, COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO Python'S RECORDS, PROGRAMS OR SERVICES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the limitations of this section may not apply to you.

(b) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF PYTHON (INCLUDING OUR DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS), WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED), PRODUCT LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, PYTHON OR TO THESE TERMS EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY YOU TO PYTHON DURING THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE OF ANY CLAIM GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.


22. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Python (and each of our officers, directors, members, employees, agents and affiliates) from any claim, demand, action, damage, loss, cost or expense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out or relating to (a) your use of, or conduct in connection with, our Services; (b) any Feedback you provide; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any rights of any other person or entity. If you are obligated to indemnify us, we will have the right, in our sole discretion, to control any action or proceeding (at our expense) and determine whether we wish to settle it.


23. Applicable Law; Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US AND IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.

You and Python agree to arbitrate any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Services, except for disputes in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. You and Python agree to notify each other in writing of any dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises. Notice to Python shall be sent to support@kahou-trade.com. You and Python further agree: (a) to attempt informal resolution prior to any demand for arbitration; (b) that any arbitration will occur in Anguilla, (c) that arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of our designated arbitrator; and (d) that the state or federal courts in Anguilla have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals of an arbitration award and over any suit between the parties not subject to arbitration. Other than class procedures and remedies discussed below, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. Any dispute between the parties will be governed by these Terms and the laws of the State of Anguilla, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you and Python will not commence against the other a class action, class arbitration or representative action or proceeding.


24. Miscellaneous

  1. Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence. These Terms contain the entire agreement, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings between the parties regarding the Services. These Terms do not alter the terms or conditions of any other electronic or written agreement you may have with Python for the Services or for any other Python product or service or otherwise. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any other agreement you may have with Python, the terms of that other agreement will control only if these Terms are specifically identified and declared to be overridden by such other agreement.

  2. Amendment. We reserve the right to make changes or modifications to these Terms from time to time, in our sole discretion, by posting the amended Terms via the applicable Python websites and mobile applications or by communicating these changes through any written or other contact method we have established with you and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms. The amended Terms will be effective immediately thereafter and your use of the Services following the date on which such amended Terms are published will constitute consent to such amendments.

  3. Waiver. Our failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under these Terms shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

  4. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any of these Terms shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other of these Terms, all of which shall remain in full force and effect.

  5. Force Majeure Events. Python shall not be liable for (1) any inaccuracy, error, delay in, or omission of (i) any information, or (ii) the transmission or delivery of information; (2) any loss or damage arising from any event beyond Python's reasonable control, including but not limited to flood, extraordinary weather conditions, earthquake, or other act of God, fire, war, insurrection, riot, labor dispute, accident, action of government, communications, power failure, or equipment or software malfunction or any other cause beyond Python's reasonable control (each, a "Force Majeure Event").

  6. Assignment. You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without prior written consent from Python, including by operation of law or in connection with any change of control. Python may assign or transfer any or all of its rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, without obtaining your consent or approval.
