The information on the Platform is not intended for distribution or to be used by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country.

Any transaction you make, accept, or facilitate within the Platform will be entirely at your own risk. You expressly indemnify us and hold us harmless for any losses you may incur by transacting or facilitating transactions within this Platform.
This document contains very important information regarding your rights and obligations, as well as conditions, limitations and exclusions that may apply to you. Please read it carefully.

TRANSACTION FEES
By using the Archie bot for cryptocurrency transactions, you agree to all fees as outlined on our Fees Page. You acknowledge and accept that you are bound by these fees, which may be updated from time to time.
To ensure smooth transactions on the Archie platform, slippage may be set to a high percentage. The applicable slippage rates are detailed on the Fee Page and are subject to change without prior notice. By proceeding with any transaction, you agree to the slippage terms as specified.
The minimum trade value is set at $5 USD to ensure a low likelihood of transaction failure. You acknowledge that trading low amounts may result in receiving significantly reduced amounts post-trade due to applicable fees.
Transactions facilitated through Archie may incur third-party fees in addition to Archieās own fees. These third-party fees may arise from entities used to process transactions and are beyond our control. Fees are variable and subject to change without prior notice. Archie is not responsible for any third-party fees, and you may not be informed of these fees prior to completing your transaction you agree to accept all risk in relation to third party fees and charges.
You authorize us to deduct all applicable fees, commissions, interest, charges, and other amounts you owe from your Archie Account as outlined in these Terms or any specific Product Terms, based on the method of calculation provided on our Fees page.
If you owe an amount in a specific Digital Asset and do not hold sufficient assets in that Digital Asset, we may deduct the owed amount from another Digital Asset in your account. In such cases, we will convert the Digital Asset you hold into the required Digital Asset at the rate currently offered on the platform or another commercially reasonable rate determined by us.
If your Archie Account has insufficient Digital Assets to cover the amount owed, you acknowledge that the outstanding sum becomes an immediate debt payable by you to us. We reserve the right to determine the form and amount of payment (whether in the form of a Digital Asset or otherwise) in a commercially reasonable manner.
