In this regard GOOBIT has a legal obligation to check the identity of its customers, their ownership structure as well as to, in certain instances, receive knowledge of the origin of funds and other assets. Therefore, GOOBIT may ask for information in relation to the Customer's identity, residency and means including proof thereof and this in order to meet the legal requirements for customer knowledge. If the Customer is a legal entity, it may also be required to provide company's registration details and possibly also information on the individuals who are in control of the legal entity (including, but not limited to, proof of registration, share register or registered beneficial owner of the company).
2.2. All information and documentation obtained will be retained by GOOBIT in accordance with applicable legislation. GOOBIT will adhere to applicable legislation on money laundering and terrorism financing prevention.

Customer is responsible for keeping the password to the account and other account data confidential. Customer understands and agrees to notify GOOBIT immediately if the account should become compromised.
2.4. By accepting these terms, You guarantee that any and all information You provide GOOBIT is true and accurate. Any false or fraudulent information and/or use of the Services rendered to You, is prohibited and constitutes a material breach of these Terms.
2.5. Should the Service for Customer be made accessible for an unregistered Customer due to technical malfunction or illegal action of third party, such Customer shall treat all information obtained as confidential and inform GOOBIT about such an incident.

3. Use Of The Services
3.1. General
3.1.1. When using the Services and subsequent approval of the Terms, the Customer agrees and guarantees that the Customer will not, nor permit any third party to:
- alter, disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer any part of BTCX and/or the Services, unless explicitly permitted by mandatory law or by GOOBIT,
- distribute or reproduce all or any part of BTCX and/or the Services,

- abuse BTCX and/or the Services or use it for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose.
3.2. Buying virtual currencies
3.2.1. Due to current regulations concerning money laundering prevention and GOOBIT internal policies, there are limits regarding the number of transactions that can be performed using the Services, and how large such transactions can be. In this regard Customer agrees to comply with the limits as set out on BTCX from time to time. The limits can vary from time to time and be altered at GOOBIT's discretion.
3.2.2. The Customer is provided with the possibility to buy virtual currencies using BTCX. In order to purchase virtual currencies, the Customer shall set up and use a wallet as provided by a third party. GOOBIT is not responsible for the quality or safety of third party wallets. The Customer may be required to accept third party's user terms in order to use the wallet.
3.2.3. Customers are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of the wallet password. GOOBIT does not store Customer passwords and passwords are not retrievable. If a password is lost, the Customer will irreversibly lose access to the wallet and GOOBIT can not recover the wallet or its contents. GOOBIT recommends that You never share Your password with any third party and make sure that Your password is complex enough making it impossible to guess.
3.2.4. The Customer is only permitted to execute transactions regarding virtual currencies to the Customer's own virtual currency wallets/bitcoin addresses which they themselves alone can access and are in control of.
3.2.5. In the event of misuse or suspected misuse of the wallet, the Customer must immediately notify GOOBIT through the BTCX support. On suspicion of abuse BTCX can block an account. The Customer assumes all liabilities arising from unauthorized access of their account.
3.3. Selling virtual currencies
3.3.1. When the Customer wants to use the BTCX selling function - i.e. the Customer is selling virtual currencies to BTCX in exchange for Swedish krona (SEK) which are sent to the Customer's bank account - the Customer must create an account on the site and identify himself/herself in accordance with these terms.
3.3.2. Customers who wish to sell virtual currencies will be controlled and requested to provide a report regarding the origin of the funds and other assets in accordance with the above stated paragraph 2.
3.3.3. In order to use the sell function provided on BTCX, the Customer is required to specify a bank account. Matching and verification of the bank account which the identified seller of virtual currency uses, is carried out by sending one SEK to the Customer's specified bank account with a short text message. The text message is then sent back to BTCX. If the text message is not sent back to verify the seller's connection to the specified bank account, no payment will take place. The procedure will repeat every time the Customer wants to use a new bank account which has not been used earlier. Transfer of funds from GOOBIT as it relates to the sell function will only be carried out to bank accounts which have been verified in accordance with this paragraph.
3.3.4. Currency exchange is carried out in accordance with the exchange rate (BTC/SEK) applicable at the time when BTCX acquired the relevant amount of virtual currency in accordance with the Customer's selling order. This applies regardless of whether the exchange rate has varied up or down during any period of time that may have passed between the transmitting of virtual currencies to BTCX, and the payment of SEK to the Customer. This also applies regardless of whether a delay of payment has occurred and if the delay has been caused by the Customer himself/herself or by BTCX, and regardless of the length of the time period.
3.4. Refunds
3.4.1. Sent virtual currency cannot be refunded if the order has been processed and executed. Refunding of regular currency can only be refunded if the order has not been processed.

GOOBIT may transfer information provided by the Customer through use of the Services on BTCX to any such third party in order to allow the third party to perform preliminary examinations of the information for the purpose of determining if the Customer is qualified to use the services of such third party (including the history of the Customer's transactions on BTCX).
3.5.2. GOOBIT may also through such third party, collect personal information about the Customer in order to ensure GOOBIT's compliance with anti-money laundering and terrorist financing legislation regarding the origin of the funds and the Customers economic behaviour.

3.5.3. By transferring the means to GOOBIT, the customer confirms the requested transaction. Before such confirmation, the Customer may withdraw from the transaction. The customer acknowledges that the final price for the virtual currency will be based on the currency price at the time of GOOBIT's approval of the transaction of means from GOOBIT to the Customer.
3.5.4. After the Customer's confirmation of the transaction, the transaction can be cancelled by GOOBIT until transfer of money from Customer is registered on GOOBIT's account. Upon GOOBIT receiving payment from Customer the transaction is considered executed and cannot be cancelled. If no payment from Customer is received within seven (7) days upon confirmation, the transaction is cancelled automatically.
