(A) Unauthorised Transactions - E-Money Dashboard.
If an Unauthorised Transaction occurs in your E-Money Wallet as a result of our failure, we will refund you the amount of that transaction by no later than the end of the next business day after becoming aware of the Unauthorised Transaction and restore your E-Money balance to the state it would have been in had the Unauthorised Transaction not taken place. Generally, you will not be liable for losses incurred after you have notified us of the Unauthorised Transaction or if we have failed at any time to provide you with the means for notifying us.
You will be liable for the first $50 of any losses you incur in respect of an Unauthorised Transaction in your E-Money Wallet which arises from the use of lost or stolen credentials (for example when you have failed to keep the login details for your DEFI BULL Account secure), and if you are fraudulent, or you intentionally or negligently fail to carry out your obligations under this Agreement and this results in Unauthorised Transactions in your E-Money dashboard (for example, if you deliberately share your email and password with a third party, or are grossly negligent in keeping your email and password secure, in both cases other than in accordance with Sections 3.2 and/or 4.10 ), you will be liable for all resultant losses incurred as a result of any such Unauthorised Transactions, not just the first $50.
Where there is a dispute between us and you regarding whether or not a transaction is an Unauthorised Transaction, we may (but are not obliged to) temporarily credit your E-Money Wallet whilst we settle the dispute. When we determine that the transaction was authorised, we may reverse that funds and correct errors made in any statement of E-Money dashboard without prior notice to you, although please note that during this period your E-Money dashboard may be temporarily locked to avoid further Unauthorised Transactions.

We will also endeavour to provide you with reasonable notice where possible. We will also pay any charges for which we are responsible, and for any interest which you can show that you have had to pay as a consequence of any Incorrect Transaction. Irrespective of our liability, on your request, we shall try to trace any Incorrect Transaction initiated by you free of charge. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to trace such transactions.

The Digital Currency Service enables you to deposit Digital Currency on the DEFI BULL Platform using other types of supported Digital Currency on the DEFI BULL platform
5.2 Transaction Fulfilment. We will make reasonable efforts to fulfil all deposits of Digital Currency, but in some circumstances, we may be unable to. If this is the case, we will notify you and seek your approval to re-attempt the deposit at the current Exchange Rate (as defined below).
5.3 Availability of Deposit Methods. The availability of a method of deposit depends on a number of factors including, for example, where you are located and your choice of digital currency to deposit.

We may also refuse to process or cancel any pending Digital Currency Transaction as required by law, regulation or any court or other authority to which DEFI BULL is subject in any jurisdiction, for instance, if there is suspicion of money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other financial crime.

Upon receipt by us of proof satisfactory to us that you have died, the executor/trustee you have designated in a valid Will or similar testamentary document will be required to open a new DEFI BULL Account or inform DEFI BULL of another, existing DEFI BULL Account in their name to which the entirety of the funds in your DEFI BULL Account shall be transferred. If you have not designated an executor/trustee, then we reserve the right to (i) treat as your executor/trustee any person entitled to inherit your DEFI BULL Account, as determined by us upon receipt and review of the documentation we, in our sole and absolute discretion, deem necessary or appropriate, including (but not limited to) a Will or similar document, or (ii) require an order designating an executor/trustee from a court having competent jurisdiction over your estate. In the event we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that there is uncertainty regarding the validity of the executor/trustee designation, we reserve the right to require an order resolving such an issue from a court of competent jurisdiction before taking any action relating to your DEFI BULL Account. Pursuant to the above, unless your designated executor/trustee already holds a DEFI BULL Account (in which case they may still be required to undergo additional identity verification procedures), the opening of a new DEFI BULL Account by a designated executor/trustee is mandatory following the death of a DEFI BULL Account owner, and you hereby agree that your executor/trustee will be required to open a new DEFI BULL Account and provide the information required in order to gain access to the contents of your DEFI BULL Account.
