  • Our Services

Our mobile app allows you to store, exchange and trade three major cryptocurrencies. You may also use our Services to purchase and sell digital currencies directly from and to us. Our services do not provide users with the ability to trade one form of legal tender for another form of legal tender.

Additionally, while using deVere Crypto, you cannot engage in illegal activities, lie, or do anything that would cause damage to our services or systems.

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 deVere Crypto makes no guarantee regarding the amount of time it may take to load Funds into your deVere Crypto Account.
  • 6.2 Deposit Funds. You are advised to check the beneficiary bank account details appearing on the app at all times before you initiate any transfer of funds to deVere Crypto to load Funds in your deVere Crypto Account.

Furthermore, be advised that deVere Crypto does not pay interest on free fiat balances held in your account.

Provided that the balance of Funds in your deVere Crypto Account is greater than any minimum balance requirements needed to satisfy any of your open positions, you may push any amount of Funds, up to the total amount of Funds in your deVere Crypto Account in excess of such minimum balance requirements, from your deVere Crypto Account to an External Account, less any fees charged by deVere Crypto for such transactions (as described in the Fee Schedule at the time of your request to push Funds to an External Account).
  • 6.5 Load/Push Authorisation. When you request that we load Funds into your deVere Crypto Account from your External Account or request that we push Funds to your External Account from your deVere Crypto Account, you authorise deVere Crypto to execute such transaction via the Services.
  • 6.6 Rejected Transactions. In some cases, the External Account may reject your Funds or may otherwise be unavailable. You agree that you will not hold deVere Investment Ltd or any of its subsidiaries, such as deVere Crypto, liable for any damages resulting from such rejected transactions.
  • 6.7 Minimum Threshold for Withdrawal. Any withdrawal of fiat currency from your wallet will be subject to a minimum threshold of $50, £50 or €50 as withdrawals are subject to bank charges.

7. EXCHANGE ORDERS AND TRADES

This section only applies when you use our services to trade Digital Currency for Legal Tender or vice versa, or to trade Digital Currency for another form of Digital Currency. deVere Crypto does not buy, sell, or trade any Digital Currency on its own behalf, except for trades conducted on behalf of deVere Crypto users where we fulfil every order on a spot basis as the counterparty to both sides of the transaction.

  • 7.1 Authorisation. When you submit a new order through our Services, you authorise deVere Crypto to affect a transaction in accordance with the order on a spot basis and to charge you any applicable fees (as described in Section 10 below).
  • 7.2 Independent relationship. You recognise and agree that: (a) deVere Crypto is not acting as your agent, intermediary, broker, or advisor or in any fiduciary capacity, and (b) no information or communication given to you by deVere Crypto shall be considered or understood as advice.
  • 7.3 Trade confirmation. Once the Services affect your trade, an electronic confirmation will be made available via the Services detailing the specific information regarding the trade. You recognise and agree that the failure of the Services to provide such confirmation shall not change or invalidate the terms of such trade.
  • 7.4 Trade options. Please refer to the Trading Guide, for information about the terminology used in connection with the trading options made available via our Services. If you do not understand the meaning of any trade option, we strongly advise against using any of those options.
  • 7.5 Market rates. If you select a market trade, deVere Crypto will attempt, on a commercially reasonable basis, to execute the trade on or close to the prevailing market exchange rate, as defined through the Services. You recognise 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.
  • 7.6 Market volatility. Particularly during periods of high volume, illiquidity, fast movement or volatility in the marketplace for any Digital Currency 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 21. Limitation of Liability), deVere Crypto may do any 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. After any such event, when trading returns to normal, you recognise that prevailing market rates may differ substantially from the rates available prior to such event.
  • 7.7 Trade Settlement. . Subject to the terms and conditions in these Terms, we will endeavour to settle trades instantly whenever a user has made a transaction using our Services.

8. RISK DISCLOSURE

  • 8.1 Trading risks. You recognise and agree that you shall access and use the Services at your own risk. The risk of loss in trading Digital Currency pairs and Digital Currency 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:
    • You may sustain a total loss of the Funds in your deVere Crypto Account, and, in some cases, you may incur losses beyond such Funds. If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon by us to provide a substantial amount of additional margin Funds, on short notice, in order to maintain your position. If you do not provide the required Funds within the time required by us, your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your deVere Crypto Account.
    • Under some market conditions, you could find it difficult or nearly impossible to liquidate a position. This can happen if, for example, the market reaches a daily price fluctuation limit ("limit move"), if there is insufficient liquidity in the market.
    • All Digital Currency positions involve risk, and a "spread" position may not be less risky than an outright "long" or "short" position.
    • The use of leverage can work against you as well as for you and can lead to large losses as well as gains.
  • 8.1 Internet transmission risks. You recognise that internet-based trading systems include certain risks including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware, software, and Internet connections. You acknowledge that deVere Crypto shall not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when trading via the Services, howsoever caused.

  • 9.2 Purchase Quotes.

  • 9.3 Errors.

The only way to remedy this error situation is for you to cancel your purchase order and obtain a refund of any amount charged.

25. MARGIN DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

We are furnishing this document to you to provide some basic facts about purchasing digital assets or legal tender on margin, and to alert you to the risks involved with trading assets in a margin account. Before trading assets in a margin account, you should carefully review this margin disclosure statement. If you have any concerns and or questions regarding your margin account, then do not hesitate to contact us through our support team via the contact details on our website. https://www-devere-crypto-com/contact.

When you purchase digital assets for legal tender or vice versa, you may pay in full or you may borrow part of the purchase price from us. If you choose to borrow funds from us, you will open a margin account. The assets purchased are our collateral for the loan to you. If the assets in your account declines in value, so does the value of the collateral supporting your loan, and, as a result, we can take action, such as issue a margin call and/or sell assets in your account, in order to maintain the required equity in the account.

It is important that you fully understand the risks involved in trading assets on margin. These risks include the following:

  • It is possible that you may lose more funds than you deposit in the margin account. A decline in the value of assets that are purchased or sold on margin may require you to provide additional funds to us to avoid the forced sale of assets in your account(s).
  • We can force the sale of assets in your account. We preserve the right to sell assets in your account if the equity falls below our maintenance margin requirements. You also will be responsible for any shortfall in the account after such a sale.
  • We can sell your assets without contacting you. Contrary to what some may believe, it is important for customers to realise that deVere Crypto are not obligated to contact them for a margin call to be valid and that we can liquidate assets in their accounts to meet the call without needing to contact the customer first. We will attempt to notify you of margin calls, but we are not required to do so. However, even if we have contacted you and provided a specific date by which you can meet a margin call, we can still take necessary steps to protect our financial interests, including immediately selling assets without notice to you.
  • We can increase maintenance margin requirements at any time and are not required to provide you with advance written notice. This often takes place with immediate effect and can result in the issuance of a maintenance margin call. Your failure to satisfy the call may cause us to liquidate or sell assets in your account(s). We are not responsible to delays in the release of funds intended to satisfy the call, including but not limited to internal holds on funds exceeding verification limits, delays in the transfer of funds from external accounts maintained by third party financial institutions, and failure of proper routing of funds through financial networks. Furthermore, the funds won't count towards their maintenance requirements until the funds are released.
  • You are not entitled to an extension of time on a margin call. Whilst an extension of time to meet margin requirements may be available to you under certain conditions, a customer does not have a right to the extension.
