User Registration
Before DFX’s financial services can be used, the customer must register via the DFX app or on the payment page.

This registration is considered standard – light KYC (Know-your-Customer) – and allows the customer to buy/sell cryptocurrencies up to a limit of 1,000 Swiss francs (CHF) / 900 euros (EUR). Transfers of cryptocurrencies to a non-verified public address are not accepted. For the purchase/sale of cryptocurrencies above 1,000 Swiss Francs (CHF) / 900 Euros (EUR), more detailed registration is required, which is considered an Extended – full KYC (Know-your-Customer) – process. As part of this process, the following information in particular must be disclosed to DFX:

- Properly completed beneficial owner form.
- First transaction from a bank account in the customer’s name to DFX.
- In case of registration of the customer by phone number, the customer has to confirm the code received by SMS (so called TAN code) to DFX.
Up to which limit the purchases/sales of cryptocurrencies as well as for the Staking will be executed, will be decided user-specific by DFX. Detailed information is available from support. Staking is only possible via full KYC process. DFX reserves the right to conduct a video conference to verify the customer’s identity, including if: DFX believes that the documentation provided is incomplete; the customer’s place of residence or business is in a country of risk; or the first transaction made on the part of the customer was from a country of risk or through a bank account not in the customer’s name. The complete and correct submission and validation of these documents is required for the initial purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies, for staking as well as for the conversion of cryptocurrencies, or at any time DFX may request without giving reasons. The data provided must be complete and valid at all times. Changes to personal data as well as all data underlying the light or full KYC must be communicated by the customers to DFX without delay. DFX will never ask customers for such customer-related information by e-mail or telephone and will never disclose the password to third parties. Such requests are to be ignored and reported to DFX. Customers are not authorized to allow others to access their account. They are responsible for all activities performed with their respective account. DFX reserves the right to refuse any registration without giving any reason, as well as to exclude any registered customer and to terminate the business relationship. This right exists explicitly if DFX determines in the course of its checks that a customer is on a FATF list (black or gray), has been convicted of a criminal offense or sanctioned in connection with an administrative proceeding, or if criminal or administrative proceedings are pending against the customer. Furthermore, DFX reserves the right to terminate the business relationship if DFX would violate mandatory regulations, in particular Swiss and international sanction regulations, due to the business relationship with the customer. DFX also reserves the right to refuse the execution of a transaction in such cases. Blocked customers may not re-register via the DFX app or payments page. If they do so, these users may be subject to criminal prosecution. Only natural persons or legal entities may register via the DFX app or the payment page.

Customers may delete or deactivate their account at any time by submitting a request to DFX technical support. DFX is obliged to keep records of transactions for ten years. This period starts from the end of the execution of the transactions or, if more than one transaction forms a whole, from the end of the last transaction. Only after the expiration of this ten-year retention period will the account finally be deleted.
Conditions for the purchase of cryptocurrencies
The Customer shall execute the purchase following the instructions in the DFX App or on the DFX Payment page, respectively. In order to initiate a purchase, the customer must create a corresponding payment route. In doing so, the customer has: Select “Wallet” as the type; Specify as “Asset” the cryptocurrency he wants to buy; Specify a [blockchain address (for crypto-to-crypto transactions)] respectively an IBAN of a bank account that is valid and freely available to the customer; If an invalid address/account or an address/account that does not belong to the customer is provided, the funds may be lost.

Conditions for Staking of cryptocurrencies
If the Customer does not possess the tokens required for the Staking (“Staking Tokens”), she may swap EUR, CHF or USD into Staking Tokens at DFX in advance of the Staking. For this swap, the conditions for the purchase of cryptocurrencies (see Conditions for the purchase of cryptocurrencies above) are applicable. Accordingly, a Staking order can be entered in the DFX system and the corresponding transfer can be made by bank transfer or by any other means of payment available in the DFX app.
As soon as the number of Staking Tokens intended for the operation of the Staking Node is available, they shall be transferred by the Customer, or in case of a previous currency exchange by DFX, to a Wallet of DFX intended for Staking.
With the operation of a staking node, transactions and other operations of the respective blockchain protocol are validated. For this activity, the staking nodes can receive rewards (“staking rewards”) according to the rules of the respective underlying blockchain protocol.
The Customer shall remain the owner of the Staking Tokens during the provision of the Staking Services by DFX. The Customer is aware that the Customer’s Staking Tokens must be held in DFX’s pooled wallet for the settlement of the commissioned Staking Services. Customer acknowledges that DFX does not accept deposits from customers nor does DFX engage in any regulated banking activity. In particular, the Staking Stokens are not subject to deposit insurance and DFX does not pay interest on them.
For the operation of a node on the DeFiChain, 20’011 DFi with a minimum value of CHF 75’000.- are required. This is then the minimum amount needed to operate a Staking node.
In order to provide access to Staking to all customers, the Staking Tokens of multiple customers will be held in a pool on a Wallet of DFX. Once the minimum amount required for staking is available on DFX’s pooled wallet, DFX will execute the staking node in its own name but for the account of the customers. Staking can commence within 8 hours after DFX has reached the minimum amount.
The Staking Rewards are credited by DeFiChain to the pooled DFX Wallet as a result of the operation of the Staking Node. DFX transfers the Staking Rewards due to the customer to the customer’s non-custodial wallet on a daily basis. Immediately after the completion of the Staking service DFX transfers the Staking Tokens back to the customer’s Wallet to which DFX has no access. Alternatively, DFX will exchange the cryptocurrencies back into CHF, EUR or USD upon instruction of the customer prior to payout. In the latter case, the terms and conditions for the sale of cryptocurrencies apply. The customer assets will be in DFX’s wallet designated for staking for a maximum of 58 days. The settlement period between the termination of the staking services and the deblocking of the DFI tokens in DFX’s Wallet is 16 hours. Only after the expiration of these 16 hours DFX may transfer the Staking Tokens back to the respective customer Wallet.
A customer may terminate the Staking of its Staking Tokens via the DFX system by giving 24 hours’ notice to the end of each month. The first possible termination date is March 31, 2022.
DFX points out that per day and per customer a maximum Staking volume of 100’000 EUR or 100’000 CHF can be settled. Exceptions may be considered and will be discussed on an individual basis.
DFX points out that staking takes place in batches that last 28 days. There are 3 different payout mechanisms for the staking volume as well as for the staking rewards: Payout to bank account, Payout to wallet, Re-investment of staking rewards. These setting must be selected and set before using the Staking offer of DFX. Changing the payout mechanism will only affect the next batch. DFX also points out that the payout mechanism of an ongoing batch cannot be changed.

Referral Links
Our referral program pays customers a maximum of 0.5% on the purchase/investment volume purchased by a new customer via the customer’s referral link. The referral program has a cap of CHF 100’000 purchase volume per customer or the equivalent in any other offered currency. This means that the referral program is only valid up to a total referral bonus of CHF 500 per customer: CHF 100000 * 0.5% = CHF 500. If the purchase volume of a customer exceeds CHF 100,000, which has been processed through this referral link, no more bonus will be paid. However, the number of customers acquired through referral links is unlimited. DFX reserves the right to change or terminate the referral program at any time without giving reasons. There is no entitlement to continuous referral bonus payments in case of termination of the referral program.
Risiken
DFX points out that the cryptocurrencies offered are on the DeFiChain blockchain. DeFiChain is a project in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) business area. Decentralized Finance is a novel construct where it is not yet fully clear what the legal and regulatory implications will be for users and businesses in this business area. DFX always complies with the current Swiss law and is in constant exchange with the authorities to implement this. DFX reserves the right to suspend trading of individual cryptocurrencies at any time or to add additional cryptocurrencies or products to its offering. Customers of the DFX Brokerage Service are not entitled to trade cryptocurrencies if they have previously been suspended from trading. This also applies if these cryptocurrencies have previously been purchased through the DFX Brokerage Service.
Furthermore, cryptocurrencies that originate from the Decentralized Finance construct, e.g. by trading on a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) or by an exchange through an Atomic Swap, may be declared as Coins with increased risk and may be treated differently in the future than Coins that have not been in such DeFi protocols. DFX has no influence on how the DeFi market will be regulated in the future and what consequences the use of DeFi protocols may have for users in the future. DFX cannot guarantee to continue operating the service at all times, nor can DFX guarantee to take back sold coins if the regulatory environment changes. This also applies to cryptocurrencies used for staking. The staked cryptocurrencies basically experience the same fate as the cryptocurrencies used for this purpose per se.
Risks associated with Staking
Staking, or the operation of a staking node, depends on the underlying blockchain, its availability, rules, validation mechanism and procedures, and is outside DFX’s control.
DFX cannot guarantee the amount or timing of any payouts of Staking Rewards; the distribution or transfer of Staking Rewards is made solely through the Blockchain protocol and is subject to its rules and procedures. Clients are aware that DFX is not responsible for the management or operation of the underlying Blockchain.
Customer acknowledges that Staking is highly complex and involves the risk that a loss of all or part of the Staking Tokens may occur. The Staking Tokens are particularly exposed to slashing, security vulnerabilities, software errors and hacks. The customer has informed herself in advance about the risks associated with Staking.
