name will not be used by any person other than yourself or your
Permitted Users, other than in accordance with these Terms.
- Information Sharing
We may be required under Applicable Law to share information
about your TNQ Account with third-parties. You acknowledge and
agree that we are entitled to disclose such information. For
more information about how we process your personal data, review
our Privacy Policy.
- Instructions
- Giving Instructions
You must ensure that any Instruction submitted is complete
and accurate. We are not required to verify the accuracy, authenticity,
or validity of any Instruction and will not monitor or reject
Instructions on the basis that they are, or appear to be duplicates.
However, if we are in doubt as to the accuracy, authenticity,
or validity of an Instruction, we may refuse to act upon or
defer acting upon any Instruction, or seek further information
with respect to the Instruction.
Instructions are irrevocable; therefore once an Instruction
has been submitted you, or your Permitted Users have no right
to rescind or withdraw it without our written consent. Your
Instruction is not deemed to be received by us until it has
been received by our server. Our record of all Instructions
will be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes.
- Acting on Your Instructions
By submitting an Instruction, you or your Permitted Users are
authorising us to initiate the Transaction on your TNQ Account.
We are therefore authorised to credit or debit (or provide
settlement information to third-parties for the purposes of
the third-party crediting or debiting) your Digital Assets
from your TNQ Account in accordance with your Instruction.
If you have insufficient Digital Assets or Fiat Currency in
your TNQ Account to affect the Transaction (i.e., less than
the required amount to settle the Transaction and to pay all
the fees associated with the Transaction), then we have the
right to refuse to affect any Transaction. It is your responsibility
to hold sufficient Digital Assets or Fiat Currency credited
in your TNQ Account.
- Protection of Instructions
You are aware that Instructions and information transmitted
on the Platform or by email are generally transmitted via the
internet and may be routed via public, transnational installations
which are not specifically protected. We cannot guarantee that
the Instructions and information transmitted will be completely
protected against unauthorised access, and you accept the associated
risks.
- Information Requests
- Events That May Prompt a Request for Information
Events That May Prompt a Request for Information We may require
information from you at any time for the purposes of complying
with any Applicable Law, identity verification requirements,
or in connection with the detection of money laundering, terrorist
financing, fraud, or any other financial crime, or for any
other valid reason. You agree to provide us with any such information
we request and permit us to keep a record of the information
for the lifetime of your TNQ Account as long as it is required
to fulfil their intended purposes, or such other period as
prescribed by Applicable Law.
- Responsibility of Furnishing Information
Your access to your TNQ Account, which applies to your use
of the TNQ Services, may be altered as a result of information
collected about you on an ongoing basis. If there is a reasonable
suspicion that any information provided by you is incorrect,
untruthful, outdated, or incomplete, we may send you a notice
to request corrections, remove relevant information, or do
such other things that we consider necessary to ensure that
the information you provide is true and correct.
-
In the Event You Fail to Provide Any Requested
Information
You must comply with any information request we send to you.
If you decline to provide the requested information, or otherwise
do not comply in a timely manner, we reserve the right to suspend

part of the TNQ Services immediately, without notice.

You may enter into Transactions directly with us, or directly
with other users, which may or may not be facilitated by us.
We do not represent or warrant that any Transaction will be
completed successfully or within a specific time period.
- Unauthorised Transactions
You are responsible for the control and use of your TNQ Account.
As such, we will assume that you, or a Permitted User, have
authorised any Instruction sent from your TNQ Account unless
we are notified otherwise. It is important that you monitor
your Account History to ensure any unauthorised or suspicious
activity on your TNQ Account is identified and notified to
us as soon as possible. We are not responsible for any claim
or losses resulting from a Transaction executed as a result
of an unauthorised Instruction unless you have notified us
in accordance with this clause.
- Retention of Transaction Information
To facilitate compliance with global industry standards for
data retention, you agree to permit us (but agree to not required)
to keep a record of all Transaction information for the lifetime
of your TNQ Account as long as it is required to fulfil their
intended purposes, or such other period as prescribed by Applicable
Law. Please review our Privacy Policy for more information on how we collect and use data relating
to the use and performance of our Website and the TNQ Services.

of any TNQ Affiliate, whether legal, equitable, or fiduciary
in nature, is expressly set out in these Terms. In particular,
we and any TNQ Affiliate may from time-to-time act in more
than one capacity, and in those capacities, we may receive

any TNQ Affiliate or any other user.

and administrative arrangements with a view to taking all appropriate
steps to identify and manage conflicts of interest between
us and our users and relevant third-parties, so as to prevent
conflicts of interest from adversely affecting the interests
of our users. In cases where such organisational and administrative
arrangements are not sufficient to ensure that the risks of
damage to your interests will be prevented, we will inform
you of the nature and/or sources of the relevant conflicts
of interest and the steps taken to mitigate those risks in
order to allow you to make an informed decision as to whether
to continue to transact with us. We reserve the right at all
times to decline to act for you where we are not able to manage
a conflict of interest in any other way.
- Transaction Limits
- Your Transaction Limits
Your TNQ Account may be subject to a limit on:
-
the amount or volume of Transactions you may undertake

to your TNQ Account at any time at our absolute discretion.

and will be subject to any further conditions that we deem
necessary.

The TNQ Services are only available in connection with Supported
Digital Assets, which may change from time to time. A List of the Supported Digital Assets is published on our Website. We may remove or suspend Digital
Assets from the List of the Supported Digital Assets and we will use reasonable commercial efforts to notify you
in advance, meaning that you will no longer be able to access
such Digital Assets as part of the TNQ Services and will only
be permitted to withdraw the Digital Assets from your TNQ Account.

You are responsible for taking appropriate action to protect
your hardware and data from viruses and malicious software,
and any inappropriate material. Except as provided by Applicable
Law, you are responsible for backing up and maintaining duplicate

Services. We are not responsible for any claim or losses resulting
from your failure to comply with this clause.
- Security Measures
At all times, you and any Permitted Users shall maintain adequate
security and control of all of your Access IDs. You are responsible
for taking the necessary security measures (or ensuring that
your Permitted Users take such measures) to protect your TNQ
Account and to keep your Access ID secure, including by:
-
strictly abiding by all of our mechanisms or
procedures;
-
creating a strong password and maintaining security
and control of your Access IDs;

keeping the Email Account and telephone number
provided to us up to date in order to receive any
notices or alerts that we may send you;

remembering that under no circumstances will we ask
you to share your passwords or 2-factor authentication
codes; and
-
logging out from the Sites or the Platform at the end
of each visit.
You must keep the Email Account and Access IDs secure against
any attacks and unauthorised access. You must notify us immediately
if you have knowledge or have reason for suspecting that the
security of your Email Account, or that of a Permitted User,
has been compromised or if there has been any unauthorised
use of your or any Permitted User’s Email Account.
- Monitoring Your Account History
It is important that you monitor your Account History to ensure
any unauthorised or suspicious activity on your TNQ Account
is identified and notified to us as soon as possible. You acknowledge
that any Security Breach may result in unauthorised access
to your TNQ Account by third-parties and the loss or theft
of any Digital Assets and/or funds held in your TNQ Account
and any associated accounts, including your linked bank account(s)
and credit card(s).

-
we are notified immediately using the details set out
in Clause 3.1 and are provided with accurate and
up-to-date information throughout the duration of the
Security Breach;
-
your TNQ Account is immediately locked via the disable
account function on the Platform or via any other
method as may be prescribed by us from time to time;
and

you take any other steps that we may reasonably
require to reduce, manage, or report any Security
Breach.
We reserve the right to request, and you agree to provide,
any and all information and documents we deem relevant or necessary
in connection with an actual or suspected Security Breach,
and may provide such information to any third-party that we
deem necessary in order to resolve any Security Breach.

to us, or we have collected from you in connection with these

- Changes to the Terms
- How and When We Can Make Changes
We can make changes to these Terms and any terms and conditions
incorporated by reference at any time and your acceptance
of these Terms constitutes your express consent. We will
let you know of any changes by email or via our Website.
We will let you know in advance of most changes and will
give you notice before the changes take effect. However,
we may occasionally need to make changes without telling
you in advance. This may include where:
-
we are making the change as a result of legal and/or
regulatory changes;
- the changes being made are in your interest;
-
the changes are to make these Terms clearer to you;
and/or
-
there is any other valid reason which means there is
no time to give you notice.
Where we are unable to give you advance notice, we will let
you know of the change as soon as possible after it is made.
- When Changes Come into Effect
Save where changes come into effect immediately, the updated
Terms will come into effect after we have given you notice.
If you do not wish to accept the changes, you are free to
close your TNQ Account in accordance with Clause 17.1 of
these Terms. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that
you have accepted the change and your continued access to
or use of TNQ Services will be deemed acceptance of the updated
Terms.
- Changes to Fees
We may also make changes to the fees set out in the fee structure
on the Website, which includes introducing new fees and/or
charges. If you do not wish to accept the changes, you are
free to close your TNQ Account in accordance with Clause
17.1 of these Terms. If we do not hear from you, we will
assume that you have accepted the change and your continued
access to or use of the TNQ Services will be deemed acceptance
of the updated Terms.
- Closing Your TNQ Account
- Your Right to Close Your TNQ Account
You may terminate your TNQ Account at any time by following
the account termination procedures as prescribed by us from
time to time. You will not be charged for terminating your
TNQ Account.
In certain cases, you may not be able to close your TNQ Account,
including where:
-
you are trying to evade an investigation by relevant
authorities;
-
you have a pending Transaction or an open Claim;
and/or
-
your TNQ Account is subject to a freeze, hold,
limitation, or reserve.

all Digital Assets or Fiat Currency held in your TNQ Account.
In the event that you fail to withdraw your Digital Assets
or Fiat Currency, or if you have not accessed your TNQ Account
for a continuous period of ninety (90) days, we will send
you notice of our intention to treat your account as dormant.
- What Happens When Your Account Becomes Dormant
If you do not respond to the notice in Clause 17.2 within
thirty (30) days, we may:
- mark your TNQ Account as a dormant account;
-
convert the Digital Assets to a different type of
Digital Assets. In doing so, we will not be liable
for any loss of profit, tax obligations, or any
other loss, damage, or expense incurred by you
resulting from such conversion;
-
transfer such dormant account and/or any Digital
Assets held in that account to any third-party
(including, without limitation, another TNQ
Affiliate, any third-party custodian, or an isolated
wallet) if we consider it is reasonably necessary to
do so. If this happens, you have the right to
retrieve your Digital Assets, subject to satisfying
our (or the relevant third-party’s) reasonable
verification requirements and any other applicable
terms and conditions;
-
adjust your dormant account such that you will
receive a contractual claim on the quantity and type
of Digital Assets, which were held on your TNQ
Account before being converted into a dormant
account;

charge a dormant account fee which may be to cover
the cost of maintaining the Digital Assets with any
TNQ Affiliate or any third-party, with such fee to
be withdrawn directly from the dormant account on a
monthly basis; and/or
- close a dormant account at any time.
After a dormant account is closed, it cannot be reactivated
and you will need to register a new TNQ Account, in accordance
with these Terms, if you wish to continue to use TNQ Services.
You acknowledge that we will be under no obligation to pay
any reward, incentive or interest which we might otherwise
have agreed to pay, under the applicable Terms, to your dormant
account in relation to the Digital Assets credited to it.

Assets or Fiat Currency held in your TNQ Account is stolen
or otherwise are not lawfully possessed by you (whether by

a hold on the affected funds and your TNQ Account. Where
we place a hold on some or all of any Digital Assets or Fiat
Currency held in your TNQ Account, or on your entire TNQ
Account, we may continue such hold until such time as evidence,
acceptable to us, proves that you are entitled to possession
of the Digital Assets and/or Fiat Currency held in your TNQ
Account. We will not get involved in any dispute, or the
resolution of the dispute, relating to any Digital Assets
and/or Fiat Currency held in your TNQ Account.

that are available to you from time to time. If you travel

the TNQ Services may be blocked. You acknowledge that
this may impact your ability to trade on the Platform
and/or monitor any existing orders or open positions or

any way to circumvent any such restriction, including by
use of any virtual private network to modify your
internet protocol address.

Transactions on the Platform are processed in a timely manner,

minimum enforceable length. Without prejudice to the
generality of the foregoing, your attention is also

shall be resolved exclusively by way of binding
arbitration.

be aware that SMS and email services are vulnerable to spoofing
and phishing attacks and should use care in reviewing messages
purporting to originate from us. You and, where relevant,
your Permitted Users are responsible for all login credentials,
including usernames and passwords and must keep security
details safe at all times.
RESOLVING DISPUTES: ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION WAIVER
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this section will
deprive you of any mandatory legal right from which you benefit
under Applicable Law.
- Notice of Claim and Dispute Resolution Period
-
Please contact TNQ first if you have any concerns with
TNQ Services. TNQ wants to address your concerns
without resorting to formal legal proceedings, if
possible. A ticket number will be assigned to you if
your concerns cannot be addressed to your satisfaction
at the first instance. The issuance of the ticket
number commences the internal dispute resolution
procedure. TNQ will attempt to resolve the dispute
internally as soon as possible. The parties agree to
negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute (which
discussions shall remain confidential and be subject
to applicable rules protecting settlement discussions
from use as evidence in any legal proceeding).
-
In the event the dispute cannot be resolved
satisfactorily, and you wish to assert a Claim against
TNQ, then you agree to set forth the basis of such
Claim in writing in a “Notice of Claim,” as prior
notice to TNQ. The Notice of Claim must:
-
describe the nature and basis of the claim or
dispute;
- set forth the specific relief sought;
- provide the original ticket number; and
- include your account email.
The Notice of Claim should be emailed to [email protected]. After you have provided the Notice of Claim to TNQ,
the dispute referenced in the Notice of Claim may be
submitted to arbitration by either TNQ or you in
accordance with Clause 31 below.
-
For the avoidance of doubt, the submission of a
dispute to TNQ for internal resolution and delivering
a Notice of Claim to TNQ are prerequisites for
commencing arbitration (or any other legal
proceeding).
-
During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement
offer made by you or TNQ shall not be disclosed to the
arbitrator.
- Agreement to Arbitrate
-
Aside from where Applicable Law requires or provides
you with a choice otherwise, you and TNQ agree that
subject to the immediately preceding clause above
(Notice of Claim and Dispute Resolution Period), any
Claim shall be determined by mandatory final and
binding individual (not class) arbitration
administered by the Asia International Arbitration
Centre (“AIAC”) in accordance with the AIAC Rules for
the time being in force, which rules are deemed
incorporated by reference in this clause.
- The seat of arbitration shall be in Malaysia.
-
The Tribunal shall consist of one (1) arbitrator to be
appointed in accordance with the AIAC Rules for the
time being in force.
-
The language of the arbitration shall be in English.
-
You and TNQ further agree that the arbitrator shall
have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own
jurisdiction, including without limitation any
objections with respect to the existence, scope or
validity of the Agreement to Arbitrate, or the
arbitrability of any Claim.
-
The arbitration provisions set forth in this clause
will survive termination of these Terms.
- Limitation Period for Filing
Any arbitration against TNQ must be commenced by filing and
serving a Notice of Arbitration in accordance with the AIAC
Rules within three (3) years after the date that the user
asserting the Claim first found out or reasonably should
have found out the alleged act, omission or default giving
rise to the Claim (“Limitation Period”). For the avoidance
of doubt, the Limitation Period shall include the Dispute
Resolution Period set out at Clause 31.1. There shall be
no right to any remedy or relief for any Claim by the user
if the Notice of Arbitration in respect of that Claim is
not filed and served on TNQ within that Limitation Period.
If the Limitation Period is contrary to applicable law, the
user shall be required to bring any Claim against TNQ within
the shortest time period permitted by the applicable law.
A Notice of Arbitration may be served on TNQ in accordance
with the Applicable Laws and rules of service.
- Notice
If TNQ commences arbitration against you, TNQ will give you
notice at the email address or mailing address you have provided.
You agree that any notice sent to this email or mailing address
shall be deemed effective for all purposes, including without
limitation to determinations of the adequacy of service.
It is your obligation to ensure that the email address and/or
mailing address on file with TNQ is up-to-date and accurate.
- Confidentiality
-
The Parties Agree That the Arbitration Shall Be Kept
Confidential
The existence of the arbitration, the existence, or content
of the Claim, all documents, and information provided or
exchanged in connection with the arbitration, and any submissions,
orders, or awards made in the arbitration shall be kept confidential
and no party shall disclose any of the foregoing to any third-party
except the tribunal, the AIAC, the parties, their counsels,
experts, witnesses, accountants and auditors, insurers and
reinsurers, and any other persons necessary to the conduct
of the arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party
may disclose such confidential information:
-
if the written consent of the other party is
obtained;
-
to the extent required by applicable law or by the
regulations of any regulatory or supervisory
authority of competent jurisdiction to which the
party is or may become subject to or pursuant to any
order of court or other competent authority or
tribunal of competent jurisdiction;
-
in connection with the commencement, pursuit or
defence by a party of any bona fide legal
proceedings to enforce or challenge any award
rendered in the arbitration; and
-
to the extent that the relevant confidential
information is in the public domain otherwise than
by breach of this agreement.
This term of confidentiality in this clause shall survive termination
of these Terms and conclusion or stay of any arbitration brought
pursuant to these Terms.
- Governing Law
Aside from where Applicable Law requires or provides you with
a choice otherwise, these Terms (including this arbitration
agreement) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of Labuan.
- Class Action Waiver
You and TNQ agree that any Claims shall be brought against
TNQ in an arbitration on an individual basis only and not as
a plaintiff or class member in a purported class or representative
action. You further agree to waive any right for such Claims
to be brought, heard, or arbitrated as a class, collective,
representative, or private attorney general action, to the
extent permissible by Applicable Law. Combining or consolidating
individual arbitrations into a single arbitration is not permitted
without the consent of TNQ.

in respect of, any statement, representation, assurance,
or warranty (whether made negligently or innocently) other
than those expressly set out in the Terms.

You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations
under the Terms without our prior written consent. However,
we may assign or transfer any of our rights or obligations
under the Terms at any time to anyone else, including, without
limitation, in connection with any merger, acquisition, or
other corporate reorganisation involving TNQ.
- Invalidity
If, at any time, any clause or sub-clause of the Terms is
or becomes illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any respect,
neither the legality, validity, or enforceability of the
remaining clauses or sub-clauses will in any way be affected
or impaired.

You agree that we may record any telephone, email, and chat
conversations with you, as well as any other forms of communications,
including communication used to give Instructions or effect
Transactions, between you and us, and that the recordings
may be used as evidence in any proceedings relating to any
agreement with you. These records will be our sole property.

These Terms may be translated into a language other than
the English language. Any such translation is provided solely
for your convenience. In the event of inconsistency or ambiguity,
the English text will prevail.
- Third-Party Rights
Other than in relation to TNQ Affiliates, nothing expressed
or referred to in these Terms will be construed to give any
person other than the parties to these Terms any legal or
equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to
these Terms or any clause or sub-clause of these Terms. The
Terms and all of its clauses and sub-clauses are for the
sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to these Terms
and their successors and permitted assigns.
- Survival
All clauses and sub-clauses of these Terms, which by their
nature extend beyond the expiration or termination of these
Terms, will continue to be binding and operate after the
termination or expiration of these Terms.

TNQ is not an agent of you in the performance of these Terms.
These Terms shall not be interpreted as facts or evidence
of an association, joint venture, partnership, or franchise

We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform
as required by these Terms to the extent the delay or failure
is caused by a Force Majeure Event.

of that right or remedy or of any other rights or remedies
under the Terms. The rights and remedies provided in the
Terms are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by Applicable Law.
- Privacy of Others
If you receive information about another user through the
Platform or from utilising the TNQ Services, you must keep
the information confidential and only use it in connection
with the TNQ Services and always in accordance with Applicable
Law. You must not disclose or distribute any user information
to a third-party or use the information in any manner except
as reasonably necessary to affect a Transaction.
- Publication of Breaches
Where you have breached these Terms, TNQ may publish, or
otherwise provide its users with details of the breach, including
any information that you have provided TNQ. TNQ may only
do so where it determines that doing so is necessary for
the protection of other users, and consistent with Applicable
Law.
- Death of TNQ Account Holder
In the event of your death or incapacity, the representative(s)
of your estate or the survivor or survivors must give us
written notice as soon as practicable. If we have reason
to believe you have died, we may suspend your TNQ Account.
Your TNQ Account will be suspended until:
-
a representative of your estate or authorised
beneficiary either:
-
creates a TNQ Account in accordance with these
Terms; or
- provides wire transfer instructions;
-
provides sufficient legal documentation that they
are entitled to receive the assets in your TNQ
Account; and/or
-
you provide satisfactory proof that you are not
deceased.
Beneficiaries receiving a wire transfer will receive the
liquidated value of the assets in the TNQ Account, less any
fees and costs associated with the transfer. Our ability
to provide your representative(s) with the assets in your
TNQ Account is subject to the restrictions imposed by Applicable
Law and these Terms. We do not commit to any particular timeline
for the transfer of assets held to the credit of your TNQ
Account.

It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes
apply to the payments you make or receive, and it is your
responsibility to collect, report, and remit the correct
tax to the appropriate tax authority. You agree that we are
not responsible for determining whether any taxes apply to
your use of the TNQ Services, or for collecting, reporting,
or remitting any taxes arising from any Transaction or use
of the TNQ Services.
You acknowledge that we may make certain reports to tax authorities
regarding Transactions made on the Platform and that we may,
in our sole discretion or as required by Applicable Law,
provide you with additional documentation or records needed
by you to calculate any tax obligations. We may also withhold
and deduct at source any taxes due under Applicable Law in
our sole discretion.
