Upon completion of the registration and identity verification for your PoutineSwap Account, you may conduct Fiat-to-Crypto or Crypto-to-Fiat Trading on PoutineSwap platform in accordance with the provisions of these Terms and PoutineSwap Platform Rules.
Upon sending an instruction of using PoutineSwap Services for Fiat-to-Crypto or Crypto-to-Fiat Trading (an “Order”), your account will be immediately updated to reflect the open Orders, and your Orders will be executed automatically via our API integrations with our liquidity providers. If you place an Order with insufficient Funds and/or Digital Assets, we may cancel the entire Order or fill only a partial Order. All Orders accepted by PoutineSwap are good until either executed or cancelled. Once one of your Orders fully or partially matches another user’s Order, PoutineSwap will execute an exchange (or “Transaction”).
If a Digital Asset is removed or closed, in the PoutineSwap’s discretion, your open Orders will be cancelled and your Account credited back. If a Digital Asset is selected for removal, and if the applicable blockchain allows it, you will have 21 days (3 weeks) to withdraw your Digital Assets. PoutineSwap and the Representatives assume no liability or cost whatsoever arising from removed or closed coins. Removed Digital Assets left in your Account after the withdrawal period will be forfeited.
Once the Transaction is executed, your account will be updated to reflect that the Order has been fully executed. PoutineSwap has NO control over the buy/sell orders placed by the users - at no point in the trading sequence does PoutineSwap handle the trade on the user's behalf.
For Orders initiated through PoutineSwap Services, you may only cancel them before they have been executed via the API - this process is usually very fast so once you confirm a trade order, it usually executes right away. PoutineSwap reserves the right to reject any cancellation request related to the Order you have submitted. If your account does not have sufficient amount of Funds or Digital Currencies to execute an Order, PoutineSwap may cancel the entire Order, or execute part of the Order with the amount of Funds or Digital Currencies you have in your account. Again, all this is programmatically processed and PoutineSwap never gets in the process manually.
Digital Asset deposits are subject to a minimum number of confirmations by the applicable blockchain before being fully credited to your Account, and Digital Asset withdrawals are subject to network fees. The network fees are indicated in the withdrawal section for each Digital Asset available on the Services and are deducted from the amount of Digital Assets sent out of your Account. The number of confirmations and withdrawal fees as outlined in PoutineSwap’s Fee Schedule. PoutineSwap shall attempt to process withdrawals and deposits in a timely manner. PoutineSwap and the Representatives make no guarantee on the timing of those Digital Asset transfers, and you understand and agree that transfers can be delayed due to a slow blockchain network or PoutineSwap conducting additional security checks. PoutineSwap and the representatives are not responsible for losses and liabilities induced by delayed transfers.
Fees may be charged by PoutineSwap to you to deposit or withdraw Funds from your Account and to withdraw Digital Assets from your account. In addition, by placing an Order on the Platform, you agree to pay all applicable fees and you authorize PoutineSwap to automatically deduct fees directly from your Account for such Order. The fees for placing an Order and for transferring Funds or Digital Assets to/from the Platform are set forth in the fee schedule, as it may be amended from time to time, which is available under the "FEES" section on the left hand side navigation menu.
