By clicking on the checkbox marked “I Accept” on the registration page or by accessing, installing, or using the Services, you agree to be bound by the Terms and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in our Privacy Policy at https://stagingqb.cryptotax.ai/privacy-policy/. If you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of a company, you represent that you have the authority to accept these Terms on behalf of the company and to bind the company to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to the company. If you do not agree with all of these Terms, then you must not accept them and you are not permitted to use the Services.

In addition, some institutions that support cryptocurrency transactions can sometimes be insecure. For more information on prudent investing, see the information available at the websites of the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority at www.FINRA.org. Any money you allocate to speculative investments should be strictly the money you can afford to risk without jeopardizing your daily life, or negatively impacting your plans for education, retirement, or long-term care.

There is no guarantee of value of cryptocurrency, and any given cryptocurrency product may lose all or substantially all of its value.

1. Legal Risk. The legal status of cryptocurrencies may be uncertain. This can mean that the legality of holding or trading them is not always clear. Whether and how cryptocurrency constitutes property, or assets, or rights of any kind is ambiguous and cannot be guaranteed.

1. Predetermined Payment. You have the option of making an advance payment using the predetermined prices set out on our Site when you open an Account. If you make a Predetermined Payment, you will be able to use the Services as disclosed to you upon payment.

The Predetermined Payment option is subdivided into different price scales based on how many cryptocurrency transactions you engaged in during the 2018 taxable year.

If you have more than one hundred (100) cryptocurrency transactions but less than a thousand (1,000) cryptocurrency transactions in the 2018 taxable year, you would select the “Professional” option.

If your cryptocurrency portfolio changes where you need to upgrade from one Predetermined Payment Account to another, you will incur an additional cost. We will disclose the cost of the additional Services and you will agree to the cost before making the payment. If you elect not to upgrade your Predetermined Payment Account, we will limit our Services to the number of transactions eligible for your Advance Payment Account.

The Predetermined Payment Account types include auxiliary services such as priority support. Even if you have fewer than the number of cryptocurrency transactions that necessitates a particular Predetermined Payment Account option, you can enroll in any Predetermined Payment Account type, provided you have the eligible number of cryptocurrency transactions.

1. Enterprise. You have the option of enrolling in the Enterprise Account. Under this Account, you can submit an unlimited number of cryptocurrency transactions to our platform. You can also customize how we analyze your trading activity, and you will have access to any other feature available through our Services.

Prices for the Enterprise Account are determined based on the specific features you request. Upon registration, you will be contacted by a CryptoTax.AI representative to identify which platform Services you would like to incorporate into your Account. We will then disclose the cost associated with your customized package. You will enter into a supplemental agreement that will include the features you are eligible for and the cost associated with those features. Additional terms and conditions may apply to Enterprise Accounts.

1. Cancellations and Terminations. If you have received our Services, YOUR PURCHASE IS FINAL AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CANCEL THE PURCHASE AND/OR RECEIVE A REFUND OF YOUR PreDetermined Payment or Enterprise Account PAYMENT.

But if something unexpected happens in the course of completing a purchase transaction, we reserve the right to cancel your transaction for any reason; if we cancel your transaction we’ll refund any payment you have already remitted to us for such transaction.

1. Payment Terms. The following terms apply for both Predetermined Payment and Enterprise Account types.

1. General. Prices are ultimately determined when you request that we analyze and calculate your cryptocurrency transactions activity. We will disclose the Services we offer and the cost for each component of those Services when you open an Account. If there is a change of circumstance in your cryptocurrency portfolio between the time you open an Account and make a payment based on your selection of Services we offer and the Services your cryptocurrency portfolio requires, we may increase the cost to provide our Services. The prices for each type of Account type will not change and will be disclosed to you at every stage of the transaction.

We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Company agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

1. Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.

If your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video-conference hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.

1. Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. We’ll pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.

1. Class Action Waiver. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.

1. Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 “Changes to Terms or Services” above, if Company changes any of the terms of this Section 18 “Dispute Resolution” after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to support@cryptotax.ai) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of Company’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 18 “Dispute Resolution” as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
