This User Agreement (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, mobile applications, and any other online services (collectively, the “Services,” and further described below) provided by Coinbits Inc. or its legal affiliates (“Coinbits”, “we” or “us”), including any content, functionality, features and applications offered on or through the Services to you as a guest or registered user (collectively, ”you” or “User”). Coinbits’s Services involve cryptocurrencies, which are not insured by any governmental agency, such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), and involve numerous risks as outlined below, including loss of value.
Please read these Terms carefully before you start to use our Services. By using the Services, you agree to be bound and abide by these Terms and our Privacy Policy (collectively, together with these Terms, the “Coinbits Terms and Policies” and included below or available at https://coinbits.app).
Sub-account Registration and Additional Terms and Policies
In order to provide the Services, we open sub-accounts for you (your “User Account”) with our payment provider and Custodian of record, Cybrid Technology Inc. (the “Custodian”), to process deposits and withdrawals of your fiat currency. By using our Services, you agree to the Cybrid Combined User Agreement.
We do not have any right to direct, and the Custodian will not take any direction from us regarding, cryptocurrency purchased through the Custodian. Custodian does not provide us with any control nor any discretion with respect to any cryptocurrency the Custodian holds on your behalf.
If you do not agree to the Coinbits Terms and Policies or the Cybrid Combined User Agreement, or if you violate them in any way, your right to access or use the Services is terminated. While you are using or accessing our Services, we may collect certain data about your use of the Services. By accessing or using our Services, you understand that we will be collecting this data. If you do not want us to collect data about you, then do not access, register for, or use any of our Services.
Please see Section 20 below regarding restrictions on your legal rights in any dispute involving our Services, User Agreement or Privacy Policy.
THESE TERMS INCLUDE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, YOUR AUTHORIZATION FOR DEBITS AND CREDITS FROM AND TO YOUR BANK AND CREDIT CARD ACCOUNTS (AS DESCRIBED BELOW) VIA CUSTODIAN, AND THE AUTOMATED CLEARING HOUSE NETWORK ("ACH").
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND COINBITS, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION. YOUR ORDER OF, ACCEPTANCE OF, USE OF, AND/OR ACCESS TO, THE SERVICES, RELATED WEBSITES AND CONTENT CONSTITUTE YOUR AGREEMENT TO ABIDE BY EACH OF THE TERMS SET FORTH HEREIN, INCLUDING THE ARBITRATION PROVISION.
By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with Coinbits and meet all of the eligibility requirements in the Coinbits Terms and Policies. You further agree to designate Coinbits as your agent to hold funds on your behalf in your User Account, to hold your deposits for your benefit in a separate Coinbits-owned account (“FBO Account” or “Coinbits Account”) to purchase and own cryptocurrency equal in value to an amount of fiat currency, less any transaction fees, transferred from your User Account to the Coinbits Account, that you designate from a funding source, which will either equal the difference between the amount of a purchase of goods or services using your linked card(s) or account(s) and the lowest whole dollar amount that is greater than the amount of the purchase (“Rounded Amount”), or such other amount chosen by you using the Services, including but not limited to one-off or recurring purchases (“Set Amount,” and collectively with the Rounded Amount, the “Selected Amounts”). You authorize Coinbits to debit your indicated funding source for one-time or recurring transactions according to any online forms and agreements with Coinbits. You will not dispute Coinbits so long as the transactions correspond to such terms. Payment authorizations from you to Coinbits are valid and will remain effective unless canceled by you by emailing support@coinbits.app at least 3 business days in advance.
You own all cryptocurrency held by Custodian in accordance with their terms of service. Your cryptocurrency held in custody by Custodian will not be reflected on Coinbits’ nor Custodian’s balance sheet as assets of either party. Custodian may, and Coinbits shall not, take and hold title to your cryptocurrency or any part thereof in its own name, and will be properly segregated on Custodians books and records. For more information, please review Custodian’s terms of use.
You further agree to designate Coinbits as your agent to use pre-designated Selected Amounts from your User Account to purchase cryptocurrency that Coinbits will own in full and which will be held in the Coinbits Account. In exchange, Coinbits will grant you the right to enter and view the history of transfers from your User Account to and from the Coinbits Account back to your User Account (“Coinbits Transfers”). You have the right to receive the US Dollar equivalent of the value of cryptocurrency purchased by Coinbits with your Selected Amounts (“Withdrawal Amount”) upon request (“Withdrawal Request”) into your User Account. Further, you have the right to withdraw cryptocurrency equal to your Selected Amounts to an external invoice address (“Wallet”), in which case Coinbits, by way of an application programming interface (“API”) with our Custodian, will transfer Selected Amounts to your Wallet. You may cancel your membership at any time. We do not offer refunds on any fees, subscriptions, or other charges. If you have questions about charges to your account, please reach out to us at support@coinbits.app and a member of our team will be happy to help.
You should note that the risk of loss in trading or holding cryptocurrency can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether engaging in trading or holding cryptocurrency is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. For more information see, the CFPB’s Consumer Advisory, the SEC’s Investor Alert, and FINRA’s Investor Alert.

Users will not own cryptocurrency through the Services, and at no point will Coinbits act as a custodian of any User-owned cryptocurrency. Coinbits solely acts as Users’ designated agent with limited actual authority to purchase cryptocurrency that Coinbits owns outright by automatically rounding up pre-completed transactions in the Selected Amount, and Users solely receive the right to view the transactions performed on and the value of the User Account and the right to receive the dollar equivalent amount of cryptocurrency purchased by Coinbits using the Selected Amount by Withdrawal Request. Except as noted above in these Terms, beyond the extent that Users can request a withdrawal of their cryptocurrency held in custody by Custodian, users have no right or discretion to withdraw, pledge, trade, or otherwise dispose of any cryptocurrency held by Coinbits.
Any access to and use of Coinbits’s website, mobile applications, and any other online services provided to automatically debit and credit User’s designated account(s) (as part of the Services) will be subject to and governed by the Coinbits Terms and Policies. You understand that we may revise, update, and add new Coinbits Terms and Policies in our sole discretion, and may update the existing Coinbits Terms and Policies from time to time as described therein. Where appropriate, we may seek to provide advance notice before updated Terms and Policies become effective. You agree that we may notify you of the updated Terms and Policies by posting them on the Services (such as on our website), and that your use of the Services after the effective date of the updated Terms and Policies (or engaging in such other conduct as we may reasonably specify) constitutes your agreement to the updated Terms and Policies. It is your responsibility to check the Coinbits Terms and Policies posted on the Services periodically so that you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.
The Coinbits Terms and Policies do not constitute a prospectus of any sort, are not a solicitation for investment and do not pertain in any way to an offering of securities in any jurisdiction. It is a description of the Services’ terms and conditions.
Electronic Fund Transfer Disclosure Statement
The following disclosures are made in accordance with federal law regarding electronic payments, deposits, transfers of funds and other electronic transfers to and from your account(s). There may be limitations on account activity that restrict your ability to make electronic fund transfers. Any such limits are disclosed in the appropriate agreements governing your account.
Definitions
Electronic Fund Transfer: Any transfer of funds, other than a transaction originated by check, draft or similar paper instrument, that is initiated through an electronic device or computer to instruct us to debit or credit an account. Electronic Fund Transfers include such electronic transactions as direct deposits or withdrawals of funds, transfers initiated via telephone, website or mobile application.
Preauthorized Electronic Fund Transfer: An Electronic Fund Transfer that you have authorized in advance to recur at substantially regular intervals; for example, direct deposits into or withdrawal of funds out of your account.
Your Liability
Authorized Transfers: You are liable for all Electronic Fund Transfers that you authorize, whether directly or indirectly. Unauthorized Transfers: Tell us immediately if you believe your account or PIN or Access Information (as defined below) is lost or stolen or has been or may be subject to unauthorized Electronic Fund Transfers. Send an email to support@coinbits.app immediately to keep your possible losses to a minimum. You could lose all the money in your account(s).
3. Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for any activity that occurs through your account and all of your activity on Coinbits, and you agree you will not sell, transfer, license or assign any User Account, credentials, or any account rights, including your own. With the exception of people or businesses that are expressly authorized to create accounts on behalf of their employers or clients, Coinbits prohibits the creation of, and you agree that you will not create, an account for anyone other than yourself. You also represent that all information you provide or provided to Coinbits upon registration and at all other times will be true, accurate, current and complete and you agree to update your information as necessary to maintain its truth and accuracy.
You are solely responsible for your interaction with other Users of the Services, whether online or offline. You agree that Coinbits is not responsible or liable for the conduct of any User. Coinbits reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor or become involved in disputes between you and other Users. Exercise common sense and your best judgment when interacting with others, including when you submit or post content or any personal or other information.
Withdrawal Requests and Coinbits Transfers. User Withdrawal Requests and transactions performed on User Accounts are partially reliant upon public ledgers reflecting cryptocurrency transactions. All cryptocurrency transactions proposed by Coinbits must be confirmed and recorded via distributed consensus networks, which are not owned, controlled or operated by Coinbits. The cryptocurrency networks are operated by a decentralized network of independent third parties. While you will be able to view the impact of Coinbits transactions on the value of your User Account and the history of all transactions performed on your User Account via Coinbits Transfers, Coinbits has no control over the cryptocurrency networks and therefore cannot and does not ensure that any transactions performed on User Accounts will be confirmed by Coinbits, nor will Coinbits Transfers reflect a record of cryptocurrency bought or sold by Coinbits. All cryptocurrency transactions processed through the Services will result in cryptocurrency owned by User and held in custody by Custodian, to which Users do not have access unless sold by Coinbits on behalf of User or withdrawn to an external Wallet by User. You acknowledge and agree that requests you submit to Coinbits for the right to view Coinbits transactions or Withdrawal Requests may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed.
Third-Party Payment Processors. Any liabilities or obligations arising from the use of third-party payment processors to designate Selected Amounts or to process Withdrawal Requests are yours, not ours. Coinbits is not responsible for any loss of funds due to the use of a third-party payment processor, associated third-party financial services application, or exchange.
Security. You are responsible for implementing reasonable measures for securing your Coinbits account and any other connected account(s) from which Coinbits may obtain Selected Amounts or deposit Withdrawal Amounts. We are not responsible for any losses resulting from security compromises to these accounts. You will implement reasonable and appropriate measures designed to secure access to (i) any device connected with the email address associated with your account, and (ii) your username, password and any other login or identifying credentials. In the event that you are no longer in possession of any device connected with your account or are not able to provide your login or identifying credentials, we may, in our sole discretion, and only if we are able, grant access to your account to any person providing additional credentials to us. We reserve the right to determine the additional credentials required, which may include a sworn, notarized statement of identity.
4. Rights You Grant Us
By submitting information, data, passwords, usernames, PINs, other log-in information, materials and other content to Coinbits through the Services, you are licensing that content to Coinbits for the purpose of providing the Services. Coinbits may use and store the content in accordance with the Coinbits Terms and Policies. You represent that you are entitled to submit it to Coinbits for use for this purpose, without any obligation by Coinbits to pay any fees or be subject to any restrictions or limitations. By using the Services, you expressly authorize Coinbits to access your Account Information maintained by identified third parties, on your behalf as your agent, to perform debits and credits and view transaction histories on your accounts with identified third parties, and you expressly authorize such third parties to disclose your information to us. When you add account information as part of the Services, Coinbits and Custodian will submit information including usernames and passwords that you provide to log into the site. You hereby authorize and permit Coinbits to use and store information submitted by you to accomplish the foregoing and to configure the Services so that it is compatible with the third-party sites for which you submit your information. For purposes of the Coinbits Terms and Policies, and solely to provide the Account Information to you as part of the Services, you expressly grant Coinbits the right, power and authority to (acting on your behalf) access and transmit the information you provide as reasonably necessary for Coinbits to provide the Services, including to use Selected Amounts withdrawn from your accounts to purchase and hold cryptocurrency on Coinbits’s own behalf in Coinbits’s own Digital Wallet, and to remit the dollar equivalent of cryptocurrency purchased in the Selected Amount back to your accounts following a Withdrawal Request.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WHEN COINBITS IS ACCESSING AND RETRIEVING ACCOUNT INFORMATION FROM THIRD-PARTY SITES, COINBITS IS ACTING AS YOUR AGENT, AND NOT AS THE AGENT OF OR ON BEHALF OF THE THIRD PARTY THAT OPERATES THE THIRD-PARTY SITE, AND THAT COINBITS IS NEITHER MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION NOR TAKING OWNERSHIP OF ANY CRYPTOCURRENCY ON YOUR BEHALF AND IS BUYING CRYPTOCURRENCY ON YOUR BEHALF, AND GRANTING YOU THE RIGHT TO ACCESS AND VIEW COINBITS TRANSFERS AND THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE THE DOLLAR EQUIVALENT OF ANY PURCHASED CRYPTOCURRENCY, AS WELL AS RIGHT TO RECEIVE THE CRYPTOCURRENCY EQUIVALENT TO YOUR EXTERNAL WALLET, FOLLOWING A WITHDRAWAL REQUEST.
You understand and agree that the Services are not sponsored or endorsed by any third parties accessible through the Services. Coinbits is not responsible for any payment processing errors or fees or other Services-related issues, including those issues that may arise from inaccurate account information.
Coinbits may use various third-party services to authenticate User Accounts before transferring ACH payments or crediting or debiting User Accounts to provide the Services, and may request read permissions on transactions through these financial services applications to access credit/debit/banking card information of Users. Coinbits may be authorized to make purchases or transfer money through the credit card linkage with third parties separately from the authorization of each User. Users may grant for Coinbits to link User’s credit/debit/banking card information with their Coinbits User Account. Coinbits requests read access for a User’s accounts so the User can choose which account to debit Selected Amounts from.
Coinbits also requests access to so it can make cryptocurrency purchases on Coinbits’s own behalf in the equivalent to the Selected Amount authorized by the User, and to deposit the dollar equivalent of any cryptocurrency purchased and owned by Coinbits using the Selected Amount upon a Withdrawal Request from the User.
5. Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risks
You acknowledge and agree that there are risks associated with Coinbits’s purchasing cryptocurrency, holding cryptocurrency, and by extension your use of Coinbits’s cryptocurrency-related Services to receive access to view Coinbits Transfers and submit Withdrawal Requests, as disclosed and explained in the Risk Disclosures. If you have any questions regarding these risks, please contact us at support@coinbits.app. BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND ASSUME THESE RISKS.

Your notice must include (i) your name, postal address, email address and telephone number, (ii) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (iii) the specific relief that you are seeking. If you and Coinbits cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) calendar days after the date notice is received by the applicable Party, then either you or Coinbits may, as appropriate and in accordance with the Coinbits Terms and Policies, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for in the Coinbits Terms and Policies, file a claim in court.
Process. Any arbitration will occur in New Jersey. Arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are hereby incorporated by reference. The state and federal courts located in New Jersey will have exclusive jurisdiction over (i) any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award, or (ii) any claim filed in court where permitted in the Coinbits Terms and Policies.
Authority of Arbitrator. As limited by the FAA, the Coinbits Terms and Policies, and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (i) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (ii) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by the Coinbits Terms and Policies. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
Rules of JAMS. The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are available on the JAMS website. By agreeing to be bound by the Coinbits Terms and Policies, you either (i) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS, or (ii) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
Injunctions and Court Proceedings. With respect to any action or proceeding for which courts are an expressly permitted method of adjudication as set forth in these Terms of Use, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all such actions or proceedings arising out of, or related to, the Coinbits Terms and Policies will be in an appropriate state or federal court located in New Jersey, U.S. (the “Designated Courts”), and the Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of such court, waive any claim that such courts do not constitute a convenient and appropriate venue for such actions or proceedings, and waive the right to a trial by jury. Each Party consents to service of process upon itself by means of any of the methods for delivery of notice that are specified in these Terms.
- To the extent that arbitration pursuant to the terms of this section is not permitted under applicable law, a Party may seek resolution of any dispute in the Designated Courts.
- To the extent the Parties mutually-agree to forego arbitration for a dispute, the Parties shall seek resolution of such dispute in the Designated Courts.
- Permitted appeals and/or enforcement of an arbitration award shall take place in the Designated Courts.
- Certain breaches of the Coinbits Terms and Policies by a user may, by their gravity or nature, cause immediate and irreparable injury to Coinbits that cannot be adequately compensated for in damages, including, without limitation, infringement of Coinbits’s intellectual property rights. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Coinbits Terms and Policies, in the event of any such breach and in addition to all other remedies available herein, Coinbits may seek solely injunctive relief from the Designated Courts without posting a bond or other security.
20. Governing Law
The Coinbits Terms and Policies will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
21. Waiver and Severability
No waiver by Coinbits of any term or condition set out in the Coinbits Terms and Policies shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Coinbits to assert a right or provision under the Coinbits Terms and Policies shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of the Coinbits Terms and Policies is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Coinbits Terms and Policies will continue in full force and effect.
