RISK WARNING: When trading and investing in cryptocurrencies, alongside sending and receiving cryptocurrencies, You automatically take on a substantial amount of risk of the potential loss. Cryptocurrency prices can be affected by many factors, including, but not limited to, national and international economic, financial, regulatory, political, terrorist, military, and other events. Just like trading on the foreign exchange, it is possible to lose most if not all funds within a very short time frame. Because of this, investing and trading in cryptocurrencies is not suitable for all types of investors. Any type of usage of cryptocurrencies may also be risky. Before starting to trade or use cryptocurrencies, make sure that You are mindful and fully understand the complexity, risks, and nature or trading cryptocurrencies. Understand that there is a chance that You could lose Your capital. Due to the high volatility of the price of many cryptocurrencies on the market, the price may go up or down radically within a short time span, resulting in a potential loss of value of Your entire investment in cryptocurrencies, including a complete or partial loss of purchasing power, and difficulty or a complete inability to sell or exchange Your currency. If You do decide to trade or purchase/short cryptocurrencies, please make sure You are allocating only that portion of funds that You can risk and can afford to lose. In no event shall PTPShopy.com, PTPWallet.com, IndexPairs.com, its white label partners, and its parent company CoreStateHoldings.com be liable to any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of this site or the services found at this site. © 2022 Core State Holdings, Corp.

The only authentic record of Cryptocurrency transactions is the applicable blockchain. The Wallet provides functionality that allows You to send Cryptocurrencies transfer instructions. Timely manner of transactions is guaranteed only between PTPShopy accounts. Timely and efficient manner of transactions involving other cryptocurrency wallets and networks is not guaranteed because it is out of the Company’s control.
You must ensure that Your transactions conform to the applicable rules of the software for the Cryptocurrencies (especially with smart contract systems like Ethereum). The Company reserves the right to refuse to process or to cancel any pending Cryptocurrency Transaction as required by law or in response to a subpoena, court order, or other binding government order or to enforce transaction limits.
The Company cannot reverse a Cryptocurrency Transaction which has been broadcast to a Digital Currency network. The Wallet services are available only in connection with those Cryptocurrencies that the Company, in its sole discretion, decides to support. The Cryptocurrencies that the Company supports may change from time to time. Under no circumstances should You attempt to use Your Wallet to store, send, request, or receive Cryptocurrencies in any form that are not supported by the Company. The Company and its Service Provider assumes no responsibility or liability in connection with any attempt to use the Wallet for Cryptocurrencies that the Company does not support.
PTPShopy internal transactions will not be shown on public scanners (like: etherscan.io) that only show transactions made in decentralized blockchain. Transfers from PTPShopy to other cryptocurrencies will not be shown at deposit address. PTPShopy cryptocurrency/fiat exchange rate will show approximate average market rate for information purposes only not actual rate that could be applied through trading companies. Only User will be able to see his/her PTPShopy transaction in a timely and accurate manner.
Unauthorized and Incorrect Transactions. Where a transaction is initiated from Your PTPShopy account using Your credentials including Your PIN code, we will assume that You authorized such transaction. All transactions can be conducted only after entering Your PIN code. A transaction cannot be initiated without entering Your PIN code. Performed transactions cannot be reversed or cancelled. We may not reset Your password if You do not have access to Your PTPShopy Account.
If You believe You did not authorize a particular transaction or that a transaction was incorrectly carried out, You must contact us as soon as possible and in any case no later than 3 months after the relevant transaction occurred by opening a support ticket from within the PTPShopy’s Help & Support section. It is important that You regularly check Your PTPShopy balance and Your transaction history regularly to ensure any unauthorized or incorrect transactions are identified and notified to us at the earliest possible opportunity.

We reserve the right, without any explanation or reason, to not issue a refund. We may charge Fees and deduct other costs for processing FIAT refunds on your behalf as indicated on our Website.
It is the nature of Bitcoin, Litecoin, and the other cryptocurrencies on our website that all transactions are final with no method of chargeback or recourse for the sender of the funds. As such, we are unable to reverse or provide refunds for any crypto payment made through our payment system. No refunds or reversals are provided for payments made for any cryptocurrency, through the Service or other functionality implemented, that is then no longer desired to be owned by You or a User; throughout any time of ownership by the natural person.
In case of a situation involving an underpayment, Your User/Client can request a FIAT refund provided that his/her/its order to you is not marked as “paid” within our Software. In case of a situation involving an overpayment, Your User/Client can request only a FIAT refund of an overpaid amount. Our Company reserves the right to establish the minimum amount that can be refunded on your behalf. We reserve the right to not issue the refund if the amount requested is lower than the minimum refundable amount. Any requests for FIAT refunds can be made to us until we decide to transfer the refundable amounts to you. If no requests for refunds are received by us, until we decide to transfer the refundable amounts to you, we will transfer the refundable amounts to you and from that moment you will be fully responsible for any refunds to Your User/Client.
After 90 days since the payment was made, we reserve the right to decline refund request submission via electronic means. In such a situation, please contact our support directly at [email protected]
Funds Recovery – Sends to wrong coin/chain, missing tags, delisted coins, etc.
If coins are sent to the wrong coin or blockchain or to a delisted coin, there is no ability for the Company to recover the funds. This would apply if for example You sent Ether to an Ether Classic address or Digitalcoin to a Dogecoin address, etc. This would also apply to coins that require a destination tag, payment ID, memo, etc. and they were not set or were set to an incorrect value. We will not recover tokens we do not support for example from Ether-based ICOs that aren’t on our Supported Coins list. You must contact us within 60 days for us to recover Your funds for You or they will be forfeited.
Supported Digital Currencies. Our PTPShopy Services are available only in connection with those digital currencies that PTPShopy supports, 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 (although we will use reasonable efforts to help You move or sell Digital Currency that we no longer support). We and our Service Provider assume no responsibility or liability in connection with any attempt to use Your PTPShopy for digital currencies that we do not support.
Third Party Payments. We and our Service Provider 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 sell to or from a third party (including other Users of PTPShopy Services). We and our Service Provider are not responsible for ensuring that a third party buyer or a seller You transact with will complete the transaction or is authorized to do so. If You experience a problem with any goods or services purchased from, or sold to, a third party using Digital Currency transferred using the PTPShopy Services, or if You have a dispute with such third party, You should resolve the dispute directly with that third party. If You believe, a third party has behaved in a fraudulent, misleading, or inappropriate manner, or if You cannot adequately resolve a dispute with a third party, You may notify PTPShopy Support at [email protected], or by opening a support ticket from within the PTPShopy’s Help & Support menu, so that we may consider what action to take, if any.
Appointment of Regulated Third Parties. You may appoint appropriately regulated third parties to access Your PTPShopy. If You do, You should be aware that by virtue of such access, that third party may access Your transactional and other data, and / or may initiate transfers from Your PTPShopy.
The PTPShopy Service allows you to assign a User (a representative) with different types (levels) of authorizations to overview your account or use your Account on your behalf. Consider the representative’s authorization level type, our Company shall have the right to determine what kind of information and/or documents we will request from the representative to provide to us to perform any separate actions on your behalf. If you indicate a User within our System as your representative in the PTPShopy Service, then said User’s status will automatically change into the representative of yours.
Refusing to deal with Regulated Third Parties. We and our Service Provider may refuse access to regulated third parties for objectively justified and duly evidenced reasons relating to unauthorized or fraudulent access to Your PTPShopy. In such cases, unless we are prohibited by applicable law, we will inform You that that 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.
Transactions Limits. A registered PTPShopy User that has not completed KYC may only use PTPShopy to the limited extent of USD 900 per day, or depending on the geographical region from which you access the Service. A registered User that completed KYC may use their PTPShopy without any limit or may impose limit on the amount of his daily transactions. Loyalty program limits can be found on PTPShopy loyalty setting page.
Customer Support. If You have any issues or concerns regarding Your account or Your use of the Services, You should first check our Website’s FAQ to see if there is already an existing solution. If a solution is not found, please submit a ticket through our App’s/Website Help & Support module, allowing Users to create a Support Ticket. Our Customer Support team will work on the resolution and get back to You within 1-15 business days. Our Finance team will process all the withdrawal requests within 5-15 business days automatically. All registered PTPShopy Users that have completed the KYC are able to receive support assistance from our Customer Support Team. Our Customer Support team will do their best to get back to Your inquiries in a timely fashion and to assist You in solving Your support ticket. Any User communicating with our Customer Support team, be it a registered or non-registered User, must communicate in a professional and responsible manner and must refrain from abusing our team members. This includes, but is not limited to: using vulgar language, sending death threats, spamming the Customer Support team with multiple support tickets, and to using multiple PTPShopy accounts to contact our support team for the same support ticket inquiry. No matter the context and reason, all Users must refrain from threatening our Customer Support team (especially when they are attempting to solve a support inquiry) in the likes that the User will take some sort of legal action, and/or the filing of a claim to a government agency or independent business bureau, against the Customer Support team member(s) or the Company and its Service Providers if their inquiry is not solved or is unsolvable. By doing so, the Customer Support staff may discontinue further communicating with the User, may cancel all applicable pending transaction and/or traders orders conducted by the User in the Software(s), and may reject the User’s KYC application; leading to the User no longer be able to facilitate any transactions within the Software. Our Customer Support Department does its best to solve any and all inquiries sent to it by Users, and the staff will not tolerate disrespect and unprofessionalism by the Userbase.

d – You must immediately notify us If you lose access to your PTPShopy Account. If you fulfill any and all requirements and requests we provide for identification, it may be possible for us to assist you in re-accessing your account. However, depending on the service used for the 2FA (if enabled), it might not be possible for us to reset your 2FA or gain you access to your account. Ultimately you alone are fully responsible for any adverse consequences arising from the loss of the access to your Account.
e – It is your sole responsibility to keep your PTPShopy Account login information and passwords (long-term and 2FA account) safe. You are fully responsible for any possible adverse consequences if you pass on your login information and/or passwords (long-term and/or 2FA code) to any third party, loose this information or such information becomes otherwise accessible to any third party.
f – We reserve the right to require a change of your PTPShopy Account long-term password or KYC application at any time by giving emailed notice to you.
g – If we have reasonable grounds for doing so relating to the security of the Services or the suspected, unauthorized or fraudulent use of the Services, we may stop or suspend the use of the PTPShopy Software. By doing so, we shall not be held liable for your losses incurred as a result of blocking your access to the Services and shall not pay to you, or any representative, any penalty.
Passphrases. If you wish to create an account with PTPWallet, you will be required to go through the Passphrase creation phase. A passphrase is an industry standard tool that is a LAST LINE of protection for a User account in PTPWallet. Due to security and privacy reasons, every company that has passphrase protection is unable to access the passphrases. Therefore, if You lose Your passphrases or incorrectly wrote them down initially, then You will lose access to Your account, and there is nothing our Company – nor any company – can do to regain access to Your account. It is the responsibility of the User to correctly write down and store their passphrases as initially shown to them by the Software, not limited to; without any spacing after the words, in the same numeric order, and that the grammar is correct. The Company does not have access to the funds of an account that the User has lost access too, as the funds are being held in a non-custodial wallet and there is no ability to confirm that the support ticket opened concerning the loss of access is the primary owner of the PTPWallet account.
6. Taxes

b – We make no representations in relation to any tax liabilities, we assume no tax liability for any Merchant using the Services provided to You, we assume no responsibility for the tax liability of any Merchant, not for collecting, reporting, withholding or remitting any taxes arising from any Services that You may use.

14. Risks
These are the risks You acknowledge in using the PTPShopy:
Virtual Currencies. Virtual Currencies are not backed by governments or central banks. They are not protected by government deposit protection schemes. Virtual Currencies may be extremely volatile, the value of them can go up or down drastically within the span of a couple of seconds. Virtual Currency technology is extremely nascent and unproven. Virtual Currency software and providers are regularly subject to hacking attempts resulting in loss of funds. Thus there can be a substantial risk of losing value while buying, selling or otherwise dealing with Virtual Currencies. Read the EBA warning here for more details on Virtual Currencies.
Stablecoins and commodity-backed cryptocurrencies. Most stablecoins and commodity-backed crypto tokens and coins are not backed by governments or central banks. They are also not protected by government deposit protection schemes. These currencies may be extremely volatile. Stablecoin and commodity-backed cryptocurrency technology is extremely nascent and unproven. Stablecoin and commodity-backed cryptocurrency software and providers are regularly subject to hacking attempts resulting in loss of funds. Read the U.S. Department of Treasury analysis here for more details on Stablecoins.
Digital Assets. Similar to Virtual Currencies, Digital Assets are not backed by governments or central banks. They are not protected by government deposit protection schemes. Digital Assets may be extremely volatile. Digital Assets technology is extremely nascent and unproven. Digital Assets software and providers are regularly subject to hacking attempts resulting in loss of funds.
Protocol failure. A Virtual Currency protocol may fail resulting in total loss of Virtual Currencies held by Users.
Disasters. Disasters may damage the Virtual Currencies systems resulting in loss of Virtual Currencies held by Users.
Hack. It is always possible that the Services’ front-end, back-end, cold, and/or hot wallet may be the victim of a successful hack. As seen on other branded wallets and crypto exchanges, hackers’ main aim is to steal User funds. Virtual currencies, Stablecoins, and Commodity-backed cryptocurrencies. Digital Assets, and other forms of cryptographic tokens (may be subject to expropriation and/or theft; hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with our system/network in various ways, including malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing, and spoofing which may result in the loss of Your Cryptocurrency, the loss of Your ability to access or control Your Cryptocurrency. In such an event, there may be no remedy, and holders of Cryptocurrencies are not guaranteed any remedy, refund, or compensation. The regulatory status of Cryptocurrencies is currently unsettled, varies among jurisdictions, and is subject to significant uncertainty. It is possible that in the future, certain laws, regulations, policies or rules relating to cryptography and cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, or blockchain applications may be implemented which directly or indirectly affect or restrict cryptographic coins/token holders’ right to acquire, own, hold, sell, convert, trade, or use Cryptocurrency. The uncertainty in tax legislation relating to cryptography and Cryptocurrencies (including digital assets) may expose Cryptocurrency holders to tax consequences associated with the use or trading of Cryptocurrencies. Digital assets and financial products and services carry significant risks. Our Company is not responsible for any potential loss in case of issuer’s problems. Potential purchasers should assess the nature of, and their own appetite for, relevant risks independently and consult their advisers before making any decisions.
