Terms of use

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using the bitexasia website, mobile apps or APIs (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into binding contracts in your jurisdiction. The Service is not available to residents of restricted jurisdictions; the live list is shown during the signup flow.

3. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure. Two-factor authentication is mandatory; hardware-key 2FA is recommended for accounts above a low value threshold. You are liable for activity carried out under your account except where caused by a verified bitexasia security failure.

4. Trading rules

Order placement

Orders are matched on a price-time priority basis. We may reject orders that violate position limits, fail risk checks, or appear to be part of market manipulation.

Settlement

Spot trades settle into your wallet immediately upon fill. Margin and earn products settle according to their published terms.

Market integrity

Wash trading, spoofing, layering, front-running, and other manipulative practices are prohibited and may result in account suspension and reporting to regulators.

5. Fees

Fees are published on the Markets page and in your account settings. We may change fees with at least 30 days notice for retail accounts; existing institutional agreements take precedence over published schedules.

6. Risk

Cryptocurrency trading carries substantial risk including total loss of principal. Margin trading amplifies this risk. We provide tools, not advice — see the Risk Disclaimer for the full disclosure.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, content, branding and trademarks, is owned by bitexasia or our licensors. You receive a limited, non-transferable licence to use the Service for personal or business trading purposes, subject to these Terms.

8. Termination

You may close your account at any time, subject to settlement of open positions and clearance of pending withdrawals. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms, regulatory obligations, or for security reasons.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, bitexasia is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

10. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore. Disputes are resolved through binding arbitration at the Singapore International Arbitration Centre, except where prohibited by your local consumer-protection law.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes are posted with 30 days notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
