1.3 To be eligible to set up and maintain an account you must:

This may require you to present documentation in an online video conference interview with one of our representatives and you consent to any such interview being recorded for compliance and record keeping purposes. Where we use a third party service provider to assist in the verification process we will only share your information with our provider to the extent required to successfully verify your identity; and
- provide any other information we may request from time to time in order for us to meet our regulatory and internal compliance requirements.
Additionally, you agree, at our discretion, that we may engage an appropriate third party provider to carry out such verifications on our behalf.
1.4 During the course of using our services you may send fiat currency to us or alternatively request that we send fiat currency to you. In these circumstances we reserve the right to verify that you own the bank account to which, or from which (as applicable), funds are to be sent. Accordingly, you authorise:
- us to verify your account details with your financial institution;
- your financial institution to release information to enable us to verify your account details
1.5 Any personal information we may collect from you when setting up your account or in the course of trading with you will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which can be accessed here or by visiting https://amber.app/privacy-policy/.

If you fail to provide us with information that we request from you, we will not be able to provide our services to you.
1.6 You represent and warrant to us that you are solely responsible (and that we will not be liable) for any error with respect to the information or instructions you may provide to us when setting up your account or trading with us.

2. Trading Bitcoin is risky
2.1 You are aware that trading Bitcoin involves a degree of risk. Some (but by no means all) of the risks that are typically identified include:
- that the value of Bitcoin is subject to fluctuations, which may result in a partial or total loss of any funds you elect to convert to Bitcoin;
Bitcoin is not recognised as legal tender in Australia and there is currently no entity which controls or regulates Bitcoin; - Bitcoin is traded using specific networking including mesh networking, satellites, long wave radio broadcast, and internet connections in order to operate effectively and which may from time to time experience faults, which could have a direct impact on your ability to trade Bitcoin.
2.2 Every person has a different risk profile and we highly recommend that you obtain independent financial and taxation advice from appropriate trusted experts who will be in a position to consider your personal circumstances to guide you on the pros and cons of investing in Bitcoin and executing trades with us.
2.3 It is important to note that we do not purport to provide financial, taxation or any other sort of advice in connection with the services we provide or the risks associated with trading Bitcoin (including those noted in Section 2.1 above). We are not qualified to give such advice and any information provided by us through any medium, including our Portals, does not constitute advice or a recommendation in connection with trading Bitcoin.
2.4 By accepting these Terms you acknowledge the risks associated with trading Bitcoin and confirm that you have the opportunity to obtain appropriate independent financial and taxation advice before you commence trading with us.
3. How to buy bitcoin

5.2 We will offer you the rate (referred to as the “exchange rate”) at which we agree to exchange your designated credits for Bitcoin. Given that the value of Bitcoin is subject to rapid fluctuations, we may update the exchange rate prior to your confirmation of purchase.
5.3 Before executing a trade we may require you to answer some questions relevant to your account and your use of our App. We ask these questions to ensure that we continue to comply with our regulatory obligations. Failure to provide adequate responses to any questions we may ask may result in your account being placed on a temporary compliance hold until such time the adequate responses have been provided.
5.4 If you wish to execute a trade at the nominated exchange rate you may do so by following the on-screen prompts. You may not cancel a trade once you have confirmed that you wish to proceed.
5.5 Once you have confirmed to execute a trade we will credit your account with Bitcoin (calculated by reference to the agreed exchange rate) and debit the corresponding credits from your account.
5.6 We may, in our sole discretion, decline to process a trade, including in circumstances where you fail to answer any questions (or fail to provide adequate responses) that we submit to you as part of the purchase process.
6. Automations
6.1 Wherein Automations are available, this function enables you to trade Bitcoin without going through the process of crediting your account and manually executing the trade.

6.3 If an Automations order specifies that a trade is to be effected on a particular day in the future then the trade will be effected at 12am UTC on that day.
6.4 To effect an Automations trade, you will need to create an Automations order by selecting the “Automations” icon in the App and following the on-screen prompts. Effecting an Automations order can provide for a one-off trade of Bitcoin or for a series of trades to be effected at designated intervals.

7.1 Where Bitcoin is purchased from funds deposited into your account using an electronic payment facility we may place a restriction on your ability to withdraw or sell that Bitcoin during what we refer to as the ‘cooling off period’.

7.3 You may not withdraw or sell Bitcoin that is subject to any applicable cooling off period.

Additionally, we will have no obligation to replace or to assist in tracking or recovering the Bitcoin in the event of an erroneous transfer.

Network delivery fees will apply and will be calculated based on the delivery network you choose. The applicable fee will be confirmed prior to processing your withdrawal request and will be deducted from the Bitcoin credited to your account. Please note that we automatically apply a 24 hour delay for withdrawal requests initiated by any new account.
9.4 You must nominate the Bitcoin wallet address that is to receive your Bitcoin, and it is your responsibility to ensure that your nominated wallet supports your selected delivery method. When nominating a wallet you must also ensure that you comply with all obligations placed on you under these Terms, including but not limited to those obligations detailed in Section 17.
9.5 Once you have selected a delivery method you may be prompted to provide additional information to enable us to process your withdrawal. Any information which we may request from you is to allow us to effect your withdrawal.
9.6 You may not cancel a withdrawal request once you have confirmed that you wish to proceed.
9.7 You acknowledge and agree that the delivery of Bitcoin may be impacted by forces outside of our control, including circumstances where your nominated Bitcoin wallet is on a third party exchange which means once we have initiated a transfer of Bitcoin to your nominated Bitcoin wallet we have no control over the processing and timing of the transfer.

To safeguard your holdings, we store our customer Bitcoin using off-line, multi-sig custody solutions (referred to as Cold Storage). Cold storage aims to prevent external attacks, and requires multiple parties to authorise transactions. This is designed to protect against both theft and loss. While the aforementioned measures mitigate risk and have been put in place to reduce the risk of your Bitcoin being compromised, it is not possible to completely eliminate all risk, as no system is entirely immune to potential compromise. Therefore, by storing Bitcoin with us you acknowledge and accept these inherent risks.
