4. WHAT WE DO WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Getting your personal information from you is our primary method of providing you with a seamless, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. The general purpose of using personal information is to create, develop, operate, deliver, and improve our Services, content and advertising, as well as to prevent loss and prevent fraud. Information that we collect may be used for the following purposes:

1) To maintain compliance with laws and regulations

The collection, use, and storage of your personal information is required by law for some of our core Services. For example, IndexBlack must identify and verify customers using our Services in order to comply with anti-money laundering laws across jurisdictions. Photo identification must be collected and stored as part of this process. In addition, we verify your identity using third parties by comparing the information you provide with databases and public records. In order to link a bank account to a IndexBlack Account, we may require additional information from you. This information may be used by us, our service providers, or the authorities to verify your identity or address, and/or manage risk as requested by law. You will be required to close your account if you fail to provide the required personal information.

2) To enforce our terms in our user agreement and other agreements

IndexBlack handles sensitive information, such as your identification and financial data, so it is very important for us and our customers that we actively monitor, investigate, prevent, and mitigate any potentially prohibited or illegal activities, enforce our agreements with third parties, and/or prevent and detect violations of our posted user agreement or agreements for other Services. In addition, we may need to collect fees based on your use of our Services. We collect information about your account usage and closely monitor your interactions with our Services. We may use any of your personal information collected for these purposes. The consequences of not processing your personal information for such purposes is the termination of your account.

3). Detecting and preventing fraud and/or money loss.

In order to identify, prevent, and mitigate fraud and abuse of our services, as well as to protect you against account compromise and fund loss, we process your personal information.

4). To provide our services such as IndexBlack.

The Services are provided to you via the processing of your personal information. In order to store funds on our platform, you will need to provide information such as your identification, contact information, and payment details. The services you request will not be available without these details. When providing identity verification and/or fraud prevention services, third parties such as identity verification services may also access and/or collect your personal information.

5) To provide Service communications

We send administrative or account-related information to you to keep you updated about our Services, inform you of relevant security issues or updates, or provide other transaction-related information.

You may not opt-out of receiving critical service communications, such as emails or mobile notifications sent for legal or security purposes.

6) To provide customer service

7) To ensure quality control

We process your personal information for quality control and staff training to make sure we continue to provide you with accurate information. If we do not process personal information for quality control purposes, you may experience issues on the Services such as inaccurate transaction records or other interruptions.

8) To ensure network and information security

We process your personal information in order to enhance security, monitor and verify identity or service access, combat spam or other malware or security risks and to comply with applicable security laws and regulations. The threat landscape on the internet is constantly evolving, which makes it more important than ever that we have accurate and up-to-date information about your use of our Services. Without processing your personal information, we may not be able to ensure the security of our Services.

9) For research and development purposes

We process your personal information to better understand the way you use and interact with IndexBlack Services. In addition, we use such information to customize, measure, and improve IndexBlack Services and the content and layout of our website and applications, and to develop new services. Without such processing, we cannot ensure your continued enjoyment of our Services.

10) To enhance your experience

We process your personal information to provide a personalized experience, and implement the preferences you request. For example, you may choose to provide us with access to certain personal information stored by third parties. Without such processing, we may not be able to ensure your continued enjoyment of part or all of our Services.

11) To facilitate corporate acquisitions, mergers, or transactions

We may process any information regarding your account and use of our Services as is necessary in the context of corporate acquisitions, mergers, or other corporate transactions.

12) To engage in marketing activities

Based on your communication preferences, we may send you marketing communications (e.g. emails or mobile notifications) to inform you about our events or our partner events; to deliver targeted marketing; and to provide you with promotional offers. Our marketing will be conducted in accordance with your advertising marketing preferences and as permitted by applicable law.

13) To protect the health and safety of our employees and visitors, our facilities and our property and other rights. If you visit one of our locations, to maintain security at such locations you may be photographed or videotaped.

14) For any purpose that you provide your consent. We will not use your personal information for purposes other than those purposes we have disclosed to you, without your permission. From time to time, and as required under the applicable law, we may request your permission to allow us to share your personal information with third parties. In such instances, you may opt out of having your personal information shared with third parties, or allowing us to use your personal information for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes for which we originally collected it or subsequently obtained your authorization. If you choose to limit the use of your personal information, certain features or IndexBlack Services may not be available to you.

6. OUR PURPOSE IN SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION

To ensure your privacy, we ensure that your personal information is accessed only by those who require it to carry out their responsibilities, and to share it only with third parties who have a legitimate need for it. Without your explicit consent, IndexBlack will never rent or sell your personal information. The following are the only times in which IndexBlack will divulge your personal information:

a.) In order to prevent fraud, IndexBlack may share your identity with third parties. Our system allows us to verify your identity by comparing the information you provide us with public records and third party databases. In order to provide you with identity verification and fraud prevention services, these service providers may create derivative data based on your personal information. For instance:

• *We may rely on Jumio UK, Limited or Jumio Corporation (collectively "Jumio") to verify your identity by comparing pictures in your government-issued ID with selfies you take. You may be asked to submit biometric data with your photo. The Jumio Privacy Policy, available at https://www.jumio.com/legal-information/privacy-policy/jumio-inc-privacy-policy-foronlineservices/, explains how Jumio collects and uses personal information.

• *Users in Germany may be asked to verify their identity through the use of SolarisBank AG ("Solarisbank"). We may collect biometric information from you. The Solarisbank Privacy Policy, available at https://www.solarisbank.com/en/privacy-policy/, describes how personal information is collected and used.

• *Our team uses Sift Science, Inc. ("Sift") to detect and prevent fraudulent activity on your account in real time. Sift treats the information it receives in accordance with its Privacy Policy, available at https://sift.com/service-privacy.

• *IndexBlack, Inc. ("Plaid") may be used by IndexBlack if you live in the US to connect your IndexBlack account with your bank account, verify your bank account, and confirm your bank account balance prior to approving transactions. Plaid treats the information that is shared with them in accordance with their Privacy Policy, available at https://plaid.com/legal/#enduserprivacy-policy.

b.) With financial institutions with which we partner to process payments you have authorized.

c.) With service providers under contract who help with parts of our business operations.

• Cloud storage

e.) Whenever we have a legal obligation to do so, such as when we are required to do so by a subpoena, court order, or similar legal procedure, or where we reasonably believe that the disclosure of information is required in order to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity, or to investigate violations of our User Agreement or any other applicable policies.

f.) Our Affiliates have access to your personal information as part of their regular business operations and as part of our offering Services to you. When it is deemed necessary for the protection of an individual's vital interests. If you establish an indirect IndexBlack Account on a third-party website or by using a third-party application, any information you provide on that website or application (and not directly on the IndexBlack website) will be shared with the owner of the third-party website or application. The owner of the third-party website or application will be responsible for protecting your information. The “Third-Party Sites and Services” section below contains more information.

7. PROTECTING AND STORING PERSONAL INFORMATION

Due to our respect for your privacy, IndexBlack maintains (and contractually requires third parties with whom it shares information to maintain) appropriate physical, technical and administrative safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of the personal information you entrust to us. The information we collect about you, including personal and transactional information, including payment information, such as encrypted bank account numbers and routing numbers, may be stored and processed in the United States and elsewhere in the world where our facilities or our service providers are located. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. To protect your personal information, we, for instance, use firewalls, data encryption, and physical access controls to our buildings and files. All employees have access to personal information only if they need to do so to perform their duties. Payment vendors such as Worldpay, (UK) Limited, Worldpay Limited, or Worldpay AP Limited ("Worldpay") handle complete credit card information securely and off-site in accordance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). IndexBlack staff cannot access this information. Unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee that your personal information will not be lost, misused, unauthorized acquired, or altered. The protection of your own personal information is crucial to your own wellbeing. You should choose a password of sufficient length and complexity when registering, not disclose this password to anyone, and inform us immediately if your account has been accessed or used in an unauthorized manner. Further, we are unable to guarantee data security or confidentiality once it leaves our premises and is received by us via Internet or wireless connection, including emails, phone calls, or SMS, since we do not have any way to protect it once it is left and until it is received. Please contact us as soon as possible if you have reason to believe that your personal data is no longer secure using the contacts listed under the "How to contact us" section below.

8. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

While your IndexBlack account is active, we store your personal information securely. For legal, accounting, or reporting purposes, or to resolve disputes, we will retain your personal information only as long as necessary in light of the purposes for which it was collected. In addition to the fact that the duration of information retention varies by jurisdiction, we provide below information about typical retention periods for different aspects of your personal information.

• As per applicable laws, we may retain personal information collected in compliance with our legal obligations under financial or anti-money laundering laws for a period of time after the account is closed.

• The information you provide such as your name, email address, and telephone number for marketing purposes will be retained for as long as you remain a subscriber. Our suppression list will be updated as soon as your details have been received to make sure you are not inadvertently marketed to.

• Our website content such as support desk comments, photographs, videos, blog posts, and other content may be kept after you close your account for crime prevention and audit reasons (i.e. to prevent known fraudulent actors from registering for a new account).

• We may keep records of our telephone conversations with you for up to six years.

• Technical means of information collection, such as cookies, counters on webpages, and other advanced analytics tools, are stored until one year after the cookie expires.

9. THIRD-PARTY SITES AND SERVICES

The information you provide to IndexBlack may be shared with third parties if you authorize them to access your IndexBlack Services. IndexBlack will not authorize these third parties to use this information except to facilitate your transactions using IndexBlack Services unless you provide specific permission for it. An account connection is defined as a connection between your IndexBlack account and another account, payment instrument, or platform that is not IndexBlack affiliated. IndexBlack is not responsible for the activities or the use of data collected by third parties you interact with. Please be aware that third parties may have their own privacy policies. IndexBlack is not responsible for unauthorized thirdparty conduct, which may include contact details, financial information, or location data, collected by third parties. Make sure you are familiar with the privacy practices of such third parties.

Account connections include the following:

• Merchants: If you use your IndexBlack account to conduct a transaction with a third party merchant, the merchant may provide data about you and your transaction to us.

• Your Financial Services Providers: For example, if you send us funds from your bank account, your bank will provide us with identifying information in addition to information about your account in order to complete the transaction. Information that we share with a third party based on an account connection will be used and disclosed in accordance with the third party's privacy practices. Please review the privacy notice of any third party that will gain access to your personal information. IndexBlack is not responsible for such third party conduct.

10. PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT CHILDREN

Any person under the age of 18 is not knowingly requested to provide personal information to us. IndexBlack will not allow a user under the age of 18 to continue to use our Services if the user submits personal information to us and IndexBlack suspects the user is under the age of 18. The information will also be deleted as soon as possible. Our Services should not be used by children under the age of 18. Please notify us if you know anyone using our services under the age of 18.

11.FOREIGN TRANSFERS

Depending on the nature of our global operations, IndexBlack may transfer, store, and process your personal information across our Affiliates, third-party partners, and service providers, including in Ireland, Germany, Singapore, Japan, the UK, the United States, the Philippines, and possibly elsewhere. Wherever your personal information is processed, we will protect it as outlined in this privacy policy and we will take appropriate steps to protect it as required under applicable laws. Your personal information is contractually obligated to be protected at least to the same level as required by applicable data protection laws. Whenever you communicate with IndexBlack electronically, you acknowledge and consent to this processing of your personal information. You can submit a complaint via our Support Portal if you have a concern about our privacy practices or how personal information is collected, used or disclosed.

12. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Your personal information may be subject to certain rights based on the law where you reside. Unless any of the following rights are provided by law for your operating entity or jurisdiction, IndexBlack may provide you with those rights at their absolute discretion. You do not have absolute rights to personal information. The following circumstances might result in your rights under the applicable law being denied: (a) when denial of access is required or authorized by law; (b) if granting access would violate another's privacy; (c) to protect our rights and properties; (d) if the request is frivolous or vexatious.

• Accessibility and portability. The information we hold about you may be requested by you. Unless such provision adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others, this information will be provided without undue delay, subject to the possibility of a fee associated with acquiring the information (as permitted by law). There are cases where you can request that we provide your personal information to you in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or that we send it directly to another data controller.

• Information found to be incomplete or inaccurate may be corrected. If your personal information held by IndexBlack is inaccurate, you may request that it be corrected or updated. When logged in, click on the profile or my account tab if you wish to change your profile or account details.

• Erasure. Under certain circumstances, you may request that your personal information be erased. When you close your IndexBlack Account, the account will be marked as "Closed" in our database, but certain account information, including your request to delete, will be kept for a period of time. IndexBlack must comply with these requirements in order to deter fraud, so that anyone attempting to commit fraud cannot simply close their account and open a new one to avoid detection, while also complying with its legal obligations. Nonetheless, if you decide to close your account, your personal data will not be used by us for further purposes, nor shared with third parties, except as required to prevent fraud and assist law enforcement, according to law and this Privacy Policy.

• Retract consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time when the processing of your personal information is based on your consent. If you withdraw, IndexBlack will still be able to process your information based on consent before your withdrawal.

• Restrictions on processing. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding our processing or transferring your personal information. Occasionally, we may continue to process your personal information if it is necessary to defend legal claims or for any other exceptions permitted by relevant law.

• Individual decision-making using automated processes, including profiling. A customer account or a transaction can be flagged as illegal or fraudulent based on automated tools employed by IndexBlack. If you are subject to a decision solely based on automated processing of your personal information, including profiling, you may have the right to be exempt from such a decision, unless exceptions apply under relevant data protection laws.

• Promotional communications. IndexBlack offers opt-out options for marketing communications. Any communication with you that is solely directed towards advertising and promoting our products and services is direct marketing. Unless you have consented to be contacted electronically (by email or SMS), we will only contact you electronically based on our legitimate interests or as permitted by applicable law. Please go to your account settings to opt-out or submit a request via our Support Portal if you do not wish to receive marketing communications from us. o We will not send you information about our Services that are similar to those offered to you in a previous sale or deal that we negotiated with you. Users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland: To the extent we can rely on legitimate interest, we will only send you information about our Services that were subject to a previous sale or deal. For marketing purposes, we will only contact you electronically if you have consented to such communications. It is free and easy for you to object to such processing when the data is initially collected or when it is further processed for the purpose of direct marketing. Making a privacy request If you are unable to access the Privacy Rights Dashboard, you may contact us via our Support Portal. In addition to setting your communication preferences, you can also request individual rights in relation to your personal information via our Privacy Rights Dashboard. If you wish to request any individual rights, we recommend that you use the Privacy Rights Dashboard because it ensures that you have already been verified (based on the KYC information you provided to open your account and by providing the login credentials and multi-factor authentication necessary to access your account). Otherwise, in order to protect your privacy and security, we may take steps to verify your identity prior to complying with your request when we receive an individual rights request via other intake mechanisms. How to file a complaint Please contact us first via our Support Portal if you believe we are infringing on your rights so that we can attempt to resolve the issue or dispute informally.

In case of a covered security event, we will endeavor to make you whole; however, total losses may exceed insurance recoveries so funds may still be at risk.

Cash Balances

Cash balances, such as U.S. Dollars, British Pounds, Euros, customers store with IndexBlack are held as a balance in your IndexBlack account(s). For U.S. customers, IndexBlack combines your balance with the balances of other customers and holds those funds in custodial accounts at U.S. banks and/or invests those funds in liquid U.S. Treasuries or USD denominated money market funds in accordance with state money transmitter laws. Funds could be held in any one of these three manners so customers should not assume that funds are being held in one manner over the other. For non-U.S. customers, funds are held as cash in dedicated custodial accounts. All custodial pooled amounts are held separate from IndexBlack funds, and IndexBlack will neither use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes.

To the extent U.S. customer funds are held as cash, they are maintained in pooled custodial accounts at one or more banks insured by the FDIC. Our custodial accounts have been established in a manner to make available pass-through FDIC insurance up to the per-depositor coverage limit then in place (currently $250,000 per individual). FDIC pass-through insurance protects funds held on behalf of a IndexBlack customer against the risk of loss should any FDIC-insured bank(s) where we maintain custodial accounts fail. FDIC insurance coverage is contingent upon IndexBlack maintaining accurate records and on determinations of the FDIC as receiver at the time of a receivership of a bank holding a custodial account.

IndexBlack Cookie Policy Effective Date: May, 2022

It explains how BlackRock, Inc. and its affiliate company (IndexBlack) use cookies and similar technologies on indexblack.com and any other website, page, feature, or content owned or operated by IndexBlack, and when you interact with IndexBlack advertisements or marketing emails. Here you can learn about these technologies, why we use them, and what control you have over our use of them.

Cookie and similar technologies can be used in some cases to collect personal information, or information that may become personal information if it is combined with other information. Additionally, to this Cookie Policy, the IndexBlack Privacy Policy will apply.

WHAT DO COOKIES DO?

Cookies are small files, typically of letters and numbers, downloaded onto your computer or mobile device when you visit certain websites. When you return to these websites, or visit other websites that use the same cookies, the websites recognize these cookies and your browsing device. A cookie cannot read data off your hard drive or read cookie files created by other websites.

Cookies set by the website operator are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called "third party cookies". The parties that set third party cookies can recognize your web browser both when it visits the IndexBlack website and when it visits certain other websites where the third party’s cookies are also present.

More information on cookies and their use can be found at www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?

When you access our Sites and Services, we or companies we work with may place cookies on your computer or other device. These technologies help us better understand user behavior, and inform us about which parts of our websites people have visited.

We use first party and third-party cookies to recognize you as a IndexBlack customer, customize IndexBlack Services, content, and advertising, to measure promotional effectiveness, and to collect information about your computer or other access device to mitigate risk, help prevent fraud, and promote trust and safety.

We may place cookies from third-party service providers who may use information about your visits to other websites to target advertisements for products and services available from IndexBlack. We do not control the types of information collected and stored by these third-party cookies.

The following are some examples of information that we collect and how we may use it:

We may collect and store details of how you use our Sites and Services. Except in limited instances to ensure quality of our Services over the Internet, such information will not be associated with your IP address.

We may collect information such as your language, inferred zip code or area code, unique device identifier, referrer URL, location, and time zone so that we can better understand customer behavior and improve our Services.

We may collect information regarding customer activities on our websites and platforms, which is used to understand which parts of our Sites and Services are of most interest. This data is aggregated, and thus is considered non-personal information for the purposes of this Cookie Policy and our Global Privacy Policy.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE? We use the following types of cookies:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Sites to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. These also include cookies we may rely on for fraud prevention. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.

Performance/Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Sites. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow us to remember the choices you make and to tailor our Services so we can provide relevant content to you. For example, a functionality cookie can remember your preferences (e.g., country or language selection), or your username.

Targeting/Advertising Cookies

IndexBlack uses third party service providers to display advertising on our Services and serve advertising on other third-party sites that may be relevant to you or your interests. These cookies are also used to help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. This means that after you have been to our websites, you may see some advertisements about our Services elsewhere on the Internet. The information collected through this process by the third-party service providers does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other personal information that directly identifies you unless you choose to provide these. Such advertising will only be delivered where permitted by applicable law. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less advertising tailored to your inferred interests on our Sites and will not receive targeted IndexBlack advertisements on third party websites.

WHAT IS THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT COOKIES REMAIN ON MY BROWSING DEVICE?

Whether a cookie is a "persistent" or a "session" cookie determines how long the cookie stays on your device. You will be able to delete session cookies when you close your browser. Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies stay on your computer or mobile device until they expire or are deleted.

DOES INDEXBLACK MAKE USE OF ANY OTHER SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?

As well as cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons to track users across our Sites and Services. These tiny graphics resemble cookies in that they contain a unique identifier similar to that of a web beacon. This allows tracking of web users' movements online.

A clear gif, on the other hand, is embedded invisibly on web pages, and is about the size of the period at the end. Cookies are saved to a user's hard drive or device. Web beacons are used by us and our third-party service providers for the reasons outlined above (under "Cookies"), but their primary purpose is to assist us in better managing content on our Services based on the effectiveness of the content.

In addition, we may use what are known as Flash Cookies (also called "Local Shared Objects or LSOs") to collect information about how you use our services, to prevent fraud and for other website operations.

MANAGING COOKIES, SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES, AND TARGETED MOBILE ADVERTISING ONLINE

A cookie can be accepted or rejected by you. Follow the steps outlined below to modify your preferences with regard to cookies placed on our Sites.

By navigating to the appropriate settings in your mobile device and following the instructions, you can opt out of having your mobile advertising identifiers be used for certain types of advertising. By opting out, we will delete your personal data and not collect any more. Your ID will be removed from the system.

Do Not Track: Some Internet browsers - like Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari - include the ability to transmit "Do Not Track" or "DNT" signals. Since uniform standards for "DNT" signals have not been adopted, our Sites do not currently process or respond to "DNT" signals.

Flash Cookies. Those who do not wish Flash Cookies to be stored on their computers can adjust the Flash player's settings to block the storage of Flash Cookies, found at the following URL: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html. Flash Cookies can also be controlled via the global storage settings panel. Limiting or restricting Flash Cookie acceptance in the Flash Player could impair the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in conjunction with our services or online content.

HOW OFTEN WILL OUR COOKIE POLICY BE UPDATED?

Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. During every 30-day period, we review all cookies to ensure this is an accurate reflection of all cookies.

By providing us with this or any other information that we require, you affirm that the information is true, accurate, and complete, and that no information has been withheld that could influence IndexBlack evaluation of you for purposes of your registration for a IndexBlack Account or the provision of IndexBlack Services to you. In addition, you agree to promptly notify

IndexBlack in writing as soon as there are any changes in circumstances that may cause any such information provided to become false, inaccurate, or incomplete.

Such information may be retained by IndexBlack.

4. E-MONEY SERVICES

4.1 Loading. You can load funds into your E-Money Wallet using bank transfer (or other payment methods available on the Site for your location), and your E-Money Wallet will show loaded funds once

we have received them. Loading of funds may be done manually, or as part of a recurring transaction that you set up on your IndexBlack Account (see Section 5.12 below for more details). You may only load your own funds, from your own account, and not from any joint, pooled or third party account. When funds are loaded into the E-Money Wallet you will be issued with E-Money by IndexBlack Payments that represents the funds you have loaded. The E-Money Wallet is not a deposit or investment account which means that your E-Money will not be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. IndexBlack Payments will only hold funds received from users in a designated safekeeping account with a regulated financial institution. E-Money held in an E-Money Wallet will not earn any interest. Your E- Money Wallet may hold E-Money denominated in different currencies and we will show the E-Money balance for each currency that you hold.

4.2 Purchase or Sale of Digital Currency. You may purchase supported Digital Currency by using EMoney credited to your E-Money Wallet. To carry out a Digital Currency Transaction using E-Money, you must follow the relevant instructions on the Site. A Digital Currency Transaction using E-Money should normally be settled no later than one business day after we receive your instructions. You authorise us to debit E-Money from your E-Money Wallet. Although we will attempt to deliver Digital Currency to you as promptly as possible, E-Money may be debited from your E-Money Wallet before Digital Currency is delivered to your Digital Currency Wallet.

You may sell Digital Currency in exchange for E-Money. You authorise us to debit your Digital Currency Wallet and credit your E-Money Wallet with the relevant amount of E-Money.

4.3 Receipt of Instructions. If we receive instructions from you to purchase Digital Currency using EMoney on a non-business day or after 4:30 pm (London time) on a business day, we may treat those instructions as if they were received by us on the following business day.

4.4 Revocation. When you give us instructions to carry out a Digital Currency Transaction using EMoney, you cannot withdraw your consent to that Digital Currency Transaction unless the Digital
Currency Transaction is not due to occur until an agreed date in the future e.g. if you have set up Future Transactions (see Section 5.12 below for more details). In the case of a Future Transaction, you may withdraw your consent up until the end of the business day before the date that the Future Transaction is due to take place. To withdraw your consent to a Future Transaction, follow the instructions on the Site.

4.5 Unsuccessful Payments. If a payment to load funds into your E-Money Wallet is not successful, you authorise IndexBlack, in its sole discretion, either to cancel any related Digital Currency Transactions or to debit your other payment methods, including IndexBlack balances or other linked accounts, in any amount necessary to complete the Digital Currency Transactions in question. You are responsible for

maintaining an adequate balance and/or sufficient credit limits in order to avoid overdraft, or similar fees charged by your payment provider.

4.6 Account Information. You will be able to see your E-Money Wallet balance and your transaction history using the Site, including (i) the amount (and currency) of each Digital Currency Purchase, (ii) a reference to identify the payer and / or payee (as appropriate), (iii) any fees charged (including a breakdown of the fees), (iv) where there has been a currency exchange, the rate of exchange, and the amount (in the new currency) after exchange (where you are the payer) or the amount (in the original currency) before the exchange (where you are the payee), and (v) the debit or credit date of each Digital Currency Purchase (as appropriate).

4.7 Redeeming E-Money. You may redeem all or part of any E-Money held in your E-Money Wallet at any time by selecting the relevant option in the Site and following the instructions. Unless agreed otherwise, funds will be transferred to the bank account you have registered with us. If this Agreement is terminated, we will redeem any E-Money remaining in your E-Money Wallet and attempt to transfer funds to the bank account you have registered with us. Prior to redeeming E-Money from your E-Money Wallet, we may conduct checks for the purposes of preventing fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing and other financial crimes, and as required by applicable law. This may mean you are prevented or delayed from withdrawing E-Money until those checks are completed to our reasonable satisfaction in order to comply with our regulatory requirements.

4.8 Unauthorised and Incorrect Transactions. Where a purchase of Digital Currency and / or redemption of E-Money is initiated from your E-Money Wallet using your credentials, we will assume that you authorised such transaction, unless you notify us otherwise.

If you believe that a transaction using your E-Money Wallet has been carried out that you did not authorize (an “Unauthorized Transaction”), or if you have reason to believe that a transaction using your E-Money Wallet has been incorrectly carried out or is not complete (an “Incorrect Transaction”), you must contact us as soon as possible, and in any case no later than 13 months after the Unauthorised Transaction or Incorrect Transaction occurred.

It is important that you regularly check your E-Money Wallet balance and your transaction history to ensure any Unauthorised Transactions or Incorrect Transactions are identified and notified to us at the earliest possible opportunity.

4.9 Refund Rights.

(A) Unauthorised Transactions - E-Money Wallet.

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 Wallet 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.

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. Where we determine that the transaction was authorised, we may reverse that credit and correct errors made in any statement of E-Money Wallet without prior notice to you, although please note that during this period your E-Money Wallet may be temporarily locked to avoid further Unauthorised Transactions. You will also be liable to us (as a debt) for any E-Money you have transferred which was temporarily credited to your E-Money Wallet.

(B) Incorrect Transactions - E-Money Wallet.

Where an Incorrect Transaction is made in your E-Money Wallet as a result of our action or error we shall refund to you the amount of that transaction without undue delay and restore your E-Money Wallet to the state in which it would have been had the Incorrect Transaction not taken place. We will also endeavor 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.

4.10 Appointment of Regulated Third Parties. You may, as set out in Section 3.2, appoint appropriately regulated third parties to access your E-Money Wallet (“Regulated Third Parties”). If you do so, you should be aware that by virtue of such access, that Regulated Third Party may access your transactional and other data, and / or may initiate transfers from your E-Money Wallet. You will be liable for any actions that any Regulated Third Parties take on your IndexBlack Account, as further set out in Section 3.2 above. We reserve the right to refuse access to any Regulated Third Parties, as set out in Section 4.11 below.

4.11 Refusing to deal with Regulated Third Parties. We may refuse access to Regulated Third Parties for objectively justified and duly evidenced reasons relating to unauthorised or fraudulent access to your EMoney Wallet, money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other financial crime, and as required by applicable law. In such cases, unless we are prohibited

by applicable law, we will inform you that that Regulated Third Party's access has been denied and the reasons why. We will permit access again once we are satisfied that the reasons for refusing access no longer exist.

4.12 Consent. By opening a IndexBlack Account with us you provide your explicit consent to us providing payment services (i.e. the E-Money Services) to you. You can withdraw this consent at any time by closing your IndexBlack Account.

For the avoidance of doubt, this consent does not relate to our processing of your personal information or your rights under and in accordance with data protection law and regulations. Please see Section 11 (Data Protection) below and our Privacy Policy for information about how we process your personal data, and the rights you have in respect of this.

4.13 Financial Ombudsman Service. If you have a complaint relating to the E-Money Services provided to you by IndexBlack Payments, and that complaint cannot be resolved through the dispute process set out in Section 10.2, you may then be able to take unresolved complaints to the Financial Ombudsman Service ("FOS"). You agree that you will not raise a complaint with the FOS until the dispute process set out in Section 10.2 has been completed.

5. DIGITAL CURRENCY SERVICES.

5.1 In General. Digital Currency can be sent and received from Third Party Wallets outside IndexBlack Platforms, or can be redeemed, received, and stored by third parties outside the Platform (these transactions are considered to be "Digital Currency Transactions").

For the purchase of Digital Currency on IndexBlack, the following options are available:

(A) IndexBlack Payments will receive E-Money from your E-Money Wallet;

(B) Central bank issued currency (such as GBP or EUR) supported by IndexBlack; and/or

Conversely, when you sell Digital Currency on the IndexBlack Platform, you may elect to receive: (D) E- Money into your E-Money Wallet held with IndexBlack Payments;

(E) Central bank issued currency (such as GBP or EUR) supported by IndexBlack; and/or

(F) Other types of Digital Currency in your Digital Currency Wallet.

IndexBlack facilitates and enables the purchase and sale of Digital Currency between its customers on the IndexBlack Platform.

5.2 Fiat Currency Transactions (not using your E-Money Wallet). Your Digital Currency Wallet can be used to purchase supported Digital Currencies by linking a valid payment method. To complete your purchase, you authorize us to deduct funds from your selected payment method(s).

The Digital Currency will be delivered to your Digital Currency Wallet as soon as possible, but funds may be debited from your selected payment method before your Digital Currency Transaction is complete, and before the Digital Currency has been delivered to your Digital Currency Wallet. With
IndexBlack, you can sell Digital Currency for fiat currencies (such as GBP or EUR). If you authorize us to debit your Digital Currency Wallet and/or credit your selected payment method(s) in settlement of sell transactions, we will debit your Digital Currency Wallet and credit your selected payment method(s). As soon as possible, we will send these instructions. Once we send such instructions, your selected payment method(s) should be credited by the end of the business day.

5.3 Fulfillment of the Order. It is our goal to fulfill every purchase of Digital Currency, but in some cases we may not be able to. Upon receiving such notification, we will contact you and ask for your approval to re-attempt the purchase at the current Exchange Rate (as defined below).

5.4 Availability of Payment Methods. Payment methods are available based on a number of variables, including, for example, where you are located, the identification information that you provide to us, and limitations imposed by third parties.

5.5 Conversion Fees. Whenever Digital Currency is bought or sold, there is a fee (the "Conversion Fee"). The Conversion Fee applicable to each transaction will be displayed on the Site before the transaction is completed as well as on each receipt. Our Conversion Fees are subject to change at any time without notice. We will not process a transaction if you will be charged more than the value of your transaction, together with the Conversion Fee and any other associated fees.

5.6 Exchange Rates. A Digital Currency sale or purchase is also dependent on the exchange rate at the time of the transaction. As defined on the Website, an "Exchange Rate" represents the price of a supported Digital Currency in fiat currency. Depending on your preference, the Exchange Rate is stated as either a "Buy Price" or a "Sell Price," which corresponds to the price at which you may buy or sell Digital Currency.

There is a possibility that the Buy Price Exchange Rate may differ from the Sell Price Exchange Rate at any given time, and that we may add a margin, or a spread, to the quoted Exchange Rate. In order to authorize a transaction, you must accept the Exchange Rate. A specific Exchange Rate cannot be guaranteed. Digital Currency can be bought and / or sold on the open market at any particular price and at any given time is not guaranteed.

5.7 Authorizations; Reversals; Cancellations. You agree to pay any associated conversion fees, exchange fees, and any other fees by clicking on the Buy or Sell button on the Site.

Any transaction marked as complete or pending cannot be canceled, reversed, or changed. We reserve the right to, in our sole discretion, cancel the transaction if you do not complete the payment or if your payment method does not have sufficient funds to complete your transaction. You authorize us, in our sole discretion, to use your other payment methods, including the balances in your E-Money Wallet and/or Digital Currency Wallet, in order to complete the transaction. Your payment provider may charge you fees for overdrafts, insufficient funds, or similar items if you do not maintain an adequate balance and/or credit limit. Until such insufficient payment is addressed, IndexBlack reserves the right to suspend access to all IndexBlack Services.

5.8 Digital Currency Transactions. We will process Digital Currency Transactions in accordance with the instructions we receive from you. You should verify all transaction information prior to submitting instructions to us. We do not guarantee the identity of any user, receiver, requestee or other third party and we will have no liability or responsibility for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate and complete.

Digital Currency Transactions cannot be reversed once they have been broadcast to the relevant Digital Currency network. If you initiate a Digital Currency Transaction by entering the recipient's email address or mobile phone number and the recipient does not have an existing IndexBlack Account, we will invite the recipient to open a IndexBlack Account. If the recipient does not open a

IndexBlack Account within 30 days, we will return the relevant Digital Currency to your Digital Currency Wallet.

We may charge network fees (“miner fees”) to process a Digital Currency Transaction on your behalf. We will calculate the miner fees at our discretion, although we will always notify you of the miner fees

at (or before) the time you authorize the Digital Currency Transaction. A full list of IndexBlack miner fees can be found on our ‘Pricing and Fees Disclosures’ page on the Site. Miner fees for each individual transaction will be disclosed to you at the time of purchase on the checkout page. When you or a third party sends Digital Currency to a IndexBlack Digital Currency Wallet from an external wallet not hosted on IndexBlack, the person initiating the transaction is solely responsible for executing the transaction properly, which may include, among other things, payment of miner fees in order for the transaction to be completed successfully. Non-payment of miner fees may cause your transaction to remain in a pending state outside of IndexBlack control and we are not responsible for delays or loss incurred as a result of an error in the initiation of the transaction and have no obligation to assist in the remediation of such transactions.

Once submitted to a Digital Currency network, a Digital Currency Transaction will be unconfirmed for a period of time pending sufficient confirmation of the transaction by the Digital Currency network. A Digital Currency Transaction is not complete while it is in a pending state. Digital Currency associated with Digital Currency Transactions that are in a pending state will be designated accordingly and will not be included in your Digital Currency Wallet balance or be available to conduct Digital Currency Transactions until confirmed by the network.

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 IndexBlack is subject in any jurisdiction, for instance, if there is suspicion of money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other financial crime.

5.9 Supported Digital Currencies. Our Digital Currency Services are available only in connection with those digital currencies that IndexBlack supports (“Supported Digital Currencies”), and this may change from time to time.

Under no circumstances should you attempt to use your Digital Currency Wallet to store, send, request, or receive digital currencies in any form that we do not support. We assume no responsibility or liability in connection with any attempt to use your Digital Currency Wallet for digital currencies that we do not support. You acknowledge and agree that IndexBlack bears no responsibility and is not liable for any unsupported asset that is sent to a wallet associated with your IndexBlack Account.

5.10 Ending support of a Digital Currency. IndexBlack may in its sole discretion terminate support for any Digital Currency. IndexBlack will provide you no less than 10 days’ notice (unless a shorter period is required by applicable law or a regulatory authority) via email to the email address associated with your IndexBlack account to announce the end of such support. If you do not sell or send such Digital Currency off platform during this time, IndexBlack reserves the right to withdraw such Digital Currencies from

your account and credit your IndexBlack account with the market value of a supported Digital Currency or a fiat currency (which denomination will be selected in our reasonable discretion).

5.11 USDC Wallets. Where available, you may also elect to buy USD Coin through IndexBlack, a
Digital Currency fully collateralized by the US Dollar, which is issued by Circle Internet Financial (“Circle”) and supported by IndexBlack (“USDC”). You are the owner of the balance of your “USDC Wallet” (i.e. the Digital Currency Wallet provided to you by IndexBlack to hold USDC and through which Digital Currency Transactions in USDC can be carried out). IndexBlack is not the issuer of USDC, does not hold U.S. Dollars (“USD”) on reserve for USDC holders, and has no obligation to repurchase your USDC for USD. You can redeem your USDC with Circle, and IndexBlack may also elect to repurchase your USDC in exchange for USD. You agree to be bound by the terms of the Circle USDC Agreement (located at https://support.usdc.circle.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001233386-Circle-USDCUser-Agreement), which provides additional obligations, undertakings, and limitations with respect to USDC.

5.12 Recurring Digital Currency Transactions. If you set up a recurring purchase of Digital Currency (a "Future Transaction"), you authorise us to initiate recurring electronic payments in accordance with your selected Digital Currency Transaction and any corresponding payment accounts, such as direct debits from, or credits to, your linked bank account. Your Future Transactions will occur in identical, periodic instalments, based on your period selection (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly), until either you or IndexBlack cancels the Future Transaction.

If you select a bank account as your payment method for a Future Transaction, and such transaction falls on a weekend or public holiday in the location in which the relevant bank is located, or after the relevant bank’s business hours, the credit or debit will be executed on the next business day, although the Digital Currency fees at the time of the regularly-scheduled transaction will apply. If your bank is unable to process any payment to IndexBlack, we will notify you of cancellation of the transaction and may avail ourselves of remedies set forth in this Agreement to recover any amount owed to

IndexBlack. This authorisation will remain in full force and effect until you change your Future Transaction settings or until you provide us with written notice via https://help.indexblack.com. You agree to notify IndexBlack in writing of any changes in your linked bank account information prior to a Future Transaction.

IndexBlack may, at any time, terminate Future Transactions by providing notice to you.

5.13 Supplemental Protocols Excluded. Unless specifically announced on the Site or via an official public statement of IndexBlack, Supported Digital Currencies excludes all other protocols and/or functionality which supplement or interact with the Supported Digital Currency. This exclusion includes but is not limited to: metacoins, colored coins, side chains, or other derivative, enhanced, or forked protocols, tokens, or coins or other functionality, such as staking, protocol governance, and/or any smart contract

functionality, which may supplement or interact with a Supported Digital Currency (collectively, “Supplemental Protocols”). Do not use your IndexBlack Account to attempt to receive, request, send, store, or engage in any other type of transaction or functionality involving any such Supplemental Protocols, as the IndexBlack Platform is not configured to detect, secure, or process these transactions and functionalities. Any attempted transactions in such items will result in loss of the item.

You acknowledge and agree that Supplemental Protocols are excluded from Supported Digital Currency and that IndexBlack has no liability for any losses related to Supplemental Protocols.

5.14 Operation of Digital Currency Protocols. We do not own or control the underlying software protocols which govern the operation of Digital Currencies supported on our platform. Generally, the underlying protocols are ‘open source’ and anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute them.

We assume no responsibility for the operation of the underlying protocols and we are not able to guarantee the functionality or security of network operations. You acknowledge and accept the risk that underlying software protocols relating to any Digital Currency you store in your Digital Currency Wallet may change.

In particular, the underlying protocols are likely to be subject to sudden changes in operating rules (including “forks”). Any such material operating changes may materially affect the availability, value, functionality, and/or the name of the Digital Currency you store in your Digital Currency Wallet. IndexBlack does not control the timing and features of these material operating changes. It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of upcoming operating changes and you must carefully consider publicly available information and information that may be provided by IndexBlack in determining whether to continue to transact in the affected Digital Currency using your IndexBlack Account. In the event of any such operational change, IndexBlack reserves the right to takes such steps as may be necessary to protect the security and safety of assets held on the IndexBlack Platform, including temporarily suspending operations for the involved digital currency(ies), and other necessary steps; IndexBlack will use its best efforts to provide you notice of its response to any material operating change; however, such changes are outside of IndexBlack control and may occur without notice to IndexBlack. IndexBlack response to any material operating change is subject to its sole discretion and includes deciding not to support any new digital currency, fork, or other actions.

You acknowledge and accept the risks of operating changes to Digital Currency protocols and agree that IndexBlack is not responsible for such operating changes and not liable for any loss of value you may experience as a result of such changes in operating rules. You acknowledge and accept that IndexBlack has sole discretion to determine its response to any operating change and that we have no responsibility to assist you with unsupported currencies or protocols.

5.15 Digital Currency Storage & Transmission Delays. The IndexBlack Group securely stores Digital Currency private keys, in a combination of online and offline storage. Our security protocols may delay the initiation or crediting of a Digital Currency Transaction.

5.16 Third party Payments. We have no control over, or liability for, the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services that you may purchase or receive from, or sell or transfer to, any third party (including other users of the Digital Currency Services). We are not responsible for ensuring that a third party buyer or a seller you transact with will complete the transaction or is authorised to do so. If you experience a problem with any goods or services purchased from, or sold to, any third party using Digital Currency transferred using the Digital Currency Services, or if you have a dispute with such third party, you should resolve the dispute directly with that third party.

5.17 IndexBlack Vaults. IndexBlack does not support the use of multisig vaults. You may elect to use other services, such as the IndexBlack Vault, which allow you to set withdrawal timedelays and create other conditions around the custody and transfer of your Digital Currency. Additional rules associated with such product(s) and service(s) may apply.

5.18 Digital Currency Title. All Digital Currencies held in your Digital Currency Wallet are assets held by the IndexBlack Group for your benefit on a custodial basis. Among other things, this means:

(A) Title to Digital Currency shall at all times remain with you and shall not transfer to any company in the IndexBlack Group. As the owner of Digital Currency in your Digital Currency Wallet, you shall bear all risk of loss of such Digital Currency. No company within the IndexBlack Group shall have any liability for fluctuations in the fiat currency value of Digital Currency held in your Digital Currency Wallet.

(B) None of the Digital Currencies in your Digital Currency Wallet are the property of, or shall or may be loaned to, IndexBlack; IndexBlack does not represent or treat assets in a user’s Digital Currency Wallets as belonging to IndexBlack. IndexBlack not grant a security interest in the Digital Currency held in your Digital Currency Wallet. Except as required by a facially valid court order, or except as provided herein, IndexBlack will not sell, transfer, loan, hypothecate, or otherwise alienate Digital Currency in your Digital Currency Wallet unless instructed by you or compelled by a court of competent jurisdiction to do so.

(C) You control the Digital Currencies held in your Digital Currency Wallet. At any time, subject to outages, downtime, and other applicable policies, you may withdraw your Digital Currency by sending it to a different blockchain address controlled by you or a third party.

(D) In order to more securely hold customer Digital Currency, the IndexBlack Group may use shared blockchain addresses, controlled by a member of the IndexBlack Group, to hold Digital Currencies held on behalf of customers and/or held on behalf of IndexBlack. Customers’ Digital Currency is segregated from the IndexBlack Group’s own Digital Currency or funds by way of separate ledger accounting entries for customer and IndexBlack Group accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the IndexBlack Group shall not have any obligation to use different blockchain addresses to store Digital Currencies owned by you and Digital Currencies owned by other customers or by the IndexBlack Group.

IndexBlack is under no obligation to issue any replacement Digital Currency in the event that any Digital Currency, password or private key is lost, stolen, malfunctioning, destroyed or otherwise inaccessible.

5.19 Advanced Trading. IndexBlack offers and you may access an order book for various Digital Currency and Fiat Currency trading pairs (each an “Order Book”) on the IndexBlack Site
(“Advanced Trading”). See your IndexBlack Account to see what Order Books are available within Advanced Trading. IndexBlack does not offer Advanced Trading to customers in all jurisdictions. By accessing Advanced Trading or the IndexBlack API for Advanced Trading, you accept and agree to be bound by the Trading Rules

7.2 We will notify you (unless it would be unlawful for us to do so) if we refuse to complete a transaction, suspend, restrict or close your IndexBlack Account, and / or terminate your use of IndexBlack Services, and where applicable, with the procedure for correcting any factual errors that lead to the refusal, suspension or closure of your IndexBlack Account. The suspension will be lifted or the transaction will be completed as soon as reasonably practicable once the reasons for refusal or suspension have been removed.

New York
Please note the following disclosures associated with virtual currency:

Virtual currency is not legal tender, is not backed by the government, and accounts and value balances are not subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Securities Investor Protection Corporation protections.
Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of virtual currency.
Transactions in virtual currency may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable.
Some virtual currency transactions shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that the customer initiates the transaction.
The value of virtual currency may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency for virtual currency, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular virtual currency should the market for that virtual currency disappear.
There is no assurance that a person who accepts a virtual currency as payment today will continue to do so in the future.
The volatility and unpredictability of the price of virtual currency relative to fiat currency may result in significant loss over a short period of time.
The nature of virtual currency may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyber-attack.
The nature of virtual currency means that any technological difficulties experienced by

IndexBlock may prevent the access or use of a' customer’s virtual currency.
Any bond or trust account maintained by IndexBlock for the benefit of its customers may not be

sufficient to cover all losses incurred by customers.
