4.2. Engaging in the purchase and sale of crypto assets may be financially risky and higher financial risks may arise if you trade crypto assets that are subject to volatile market price movements.

4.3. CoinTR is a crypto asset trading platform where buyers and sellers meet. The buy-sell orders on the Platform belong to the Platform users. Therefore, the price of any crypto asset is formed spontaneously according to the supply-demand situation based on the purchase-sale transactions performed by users. If the prices offered by users through the orders they enter for purchase and sale match, the instant price is formed accordingly. CoinTR has no influence or intervention on the current crypto asset prices. In this context, CoinTR shall not be liable for any damages or losses incurred by users due to price changes, or for any damages that have arisen or may arise.
4.4. In order to use the Platform, the User must completely fill in all information in the form available on the Platform, accept this Agreement, provide all necessary documents, and upload them to the Platform.

4.6. In the event that CoinTR determines that the User has provided erroneous and/or incorrect information during the membership process, CoinTR shall have the right to unilaterally terminate the agreement, cancel, suspend or freeze the User's account without any notification, and to not open an account for such person thereafter.

Pursuant to Article 3 of Law No. 5549, CoinTR is obliged to identify the identities of those who conduct transactions and those on whose behalf or account transactions are conducted before the transaction is executed ("KYC").

The nature and scope of the information to be requested by CoinTR in this context may vary depending on CoinTR's risk assessment policy.

CoinTR shall have the right not to execute the User's transaction orders until the information requested in line with these demands is received by CoinTR in a timely manner and in accordance with the conditions set by CoinTR.
4.10. The User accepts, declares and undertakes that, in cases of alleged violation of the rights of other Users or third parties, or in accordance with the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Policy together with the mandatory legislative provisions in force, CoinTR shall be authorized to disclose its confidential/private/commercial information to official authorities and to the entitled persons pursuant to legislation, and that the User may not claim compensation from CoinTR for any reason whatsoever due to this.
4.11. The User is responsible for the security of the user account and password used to benefit from the Platform, and for the transactions carried out through this user account. The User accepts and declares that they shall not share the information related to their account registered on the Platform (username, password, etc.) with third parties and shall take the necessary security measures regarding their user account. The User accepts, declares and undertakes that CoinTR shall not be held liable for any negligence and faults regarding the storage, security, etc. of the said account information.
4.12. The User accepts, declares and undertakes that they may not transfer their rights and obligations under the User Agreement, partially or fully, to any third party without the written consent of CoinTR. Should it be determined that the User has partially or fully transferred their account to any third party in violation of this provision, CoinTR shall be free to freeze, block or completely close the User's account. CoinTR shall not be liable for any damages arising from these reasons. The User accepts, declares and undertakes that while using their account with CoinTR, they act on their own behalf and for their own account, that they do not act on behalf of another person, and that in the event they act on behalf of another person, they shall immediately notify CoinTR of on whose behalf they are transacting and the identity information of such person before executing the transaction.
4.13. The User is obliged to notify CoinTR as soon as possible of any changes to the information shared during the membership application, after completion of the membership application process or approval of membership.

The final decision on this matter shall always rest with CoinTR. CoinTR shall not be liable for any damages arising from these reasons.
4.18. The data shared by the User during the membership application process is collected and processed by CoinTR in accordance with the Law on the Protection of Personal Data No. 6698 and the relevant legislation.
4.19. In the event of an error and/or malfunction occurring during the approval of a buy-sell request, the execution of a buy-sell transaction, or any other transaction related to the services offered on the Platform, CoinTR may decide to correct or revise the said error and/or malfunction, or to cancel the buy-sell request.
4.20. The personal data submitted by Users through the Platform shall be processed and used by CoinTR in accordance with the Legislation, and detailed information can be accessed in the Personal Data Processing and Protection Policy, which is an integral part of this User Agreement.
4.21. CoinTR accepts and undertakes that the Website shall be available through the website with the domain name www.CoinTR.com and that the continuity of the Website shall be ensured by CoinTR.
4.22. All necessary measures, including system security, shall be taken by CoinTR to ensure that User accounts remain continuously open and that access to accounts is not disrupted. However, no liability may be attributed to CoinTR due to delays or cancellations of buy-sell transactions arising from interruptions or system failures caused by technical disruptions. Users accept this matter in advance by becoming members of the Platform and conducting transactions.
4.23. Users are obliged to comply with all local and international legal requirements, particularly the applicable legislation of the Republic of Türkiye, in all transactions they conduct through the Platform. Users accept and declare that they are aware of the applicable legislation of the Republic of Türkiye and that they are legally obliged to know and comply with the legislation.
4.24. Whether related to crypto assets or not, all regulations that may be issued by MASAK (Financial Crimes Investigation Board) and, in particular, by the official authorities of the Republic of Türkiye and the central registry agency, including the Law on the Prevention of Laundering of Crime Revenues, shall be duly and promptly reflected on the Platform by CoinTR and shall be binding on all Users.
4.25. Any and all unlawful transactions are illegal, and upon detection of such transactions, the necessary legal applications shall be made by CoinTR to the relevant authorities. Additionally, the responsibility for any and all transactions conducted by Users, whether lawful or unlawful, voluntary or erroneous, belongs to the User personally. The User accepts in advance through this Agreement that CoinTR does not have the means or authority to reverse any exchange, sale or transfer to be made through the Platform.
4.26. Money transfers made by Users to their own accounts on the Platform or money received into these accounts are subject to CoinTR's approval. CoinTR accepts and undertakes that it shall exert maximum effort to ensure that all transfers made by Users are carried out in the shortest possible time and that its technical infrastructure is suitable for this. However, CoinTR may not be held liable for transactions delayed due to technical reasons or reasons beyond CoinTR's control (e.g., force majeure).
4.27. When making money transfer transactions from their user account with CoinTR, the User shall only use their own account held at a bank operating under the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. CoinTR shall not be liable for delays that may be experienced or for the transfer not being executed at all in the event that the User makes transfers from accounts belonging to other persons.
4.28. CoinTR is free to reject or return to the source any suspicious or unlawful crypto asset or money transfers within the scope of this Agreement. If money transfers received into the User's account do not come under the name registered in the User's information on the Platform, the rejection of the transaction, the return of the incoming money to the source, or the temporary blocking of the transaction shall be at CoinTR's discretion. Likewise, when the User wishes to make a withdrawal from the Platform, if the User requests that the said money be sent to a bank account that does not belong to them and belongs to a different person, this transaction request may be rejected or blocked by CoinTR.
4.29. CoinTR shall not be liable for any possible delay that may be experienced due to any reason related to money transfers. Within the same scope, CoinTR is the sole authorized party and manager regarding all types of money deposits into Users' accounts on the Platform and the withdrawal of all existing money out of the Platform, and also holds all disposition authority over these activities.
4.30. Users conduct mutual purchase and sale transactions on the Platform, and the crypto asset prices available on the Platform are determined in this manner. The instant prices formed on the Platform are not binding and do not constitute precedent. CoinTR does not intervene in any way in the prices on the Platform. Within the same framework, the amount or prices of crypto assets on different platforms or other websites shall also not bind CoinTR, as they are not under CoinTR's control.
4.31. The Platform and CoinTR are entirely in an intermediary position. CoinTR does not determine the prices formed on the Platform. CoinTR may not be held liable for any damages or losses incurred by users due to changes in prices, or for any damages that have arisen or may arise. CoinTR may not be held liable for any profit to be obtained by the User, or for any financial (e.g., tax) liability that may arise in the future due to this, or for any loss that the User may incur.
4.32. It may not be technically possible to determine the source and destination of crypto assets sent to the Platform or withdrawn from their accounts by Users and sent to crypto asset wallets outside the Platform. Therefore, the obligation to track these crypto assets does not belong to CoinTR. The User has accepted this matter in advance through this Agreement.
4.33. A crypto asset wallet address shall be provided by CoinTR to Users so that they can deposit/send crypto assets to their accounts on the Platform. The said crypto asset wallet addresses may change from time to time, and the User is obliged to load the said crypto assets to the crypto asset wallet address provided to them by CoinTR on each occasion. In the event that the User knowingly or mistakenly loads crypto assets to an address other than the crypto asset wallet address provided to them by CoinTR, CoinTR shall not be liable for this transaction. Likewise, in transfers made by the User from the crypto asset wallet address on the Platform to a crypto asset wallet address outside the Platform, if a transfer is made to an unintended crypto asset wallet address due to the User's erroneous entry, CoinTR shall not be liable for this transaction.
4.34. When transferring to the crypto asset wallet address on the Platform or when wishing to transfer their crypto assets on the Platform to a crypto asset wallet address outside the Platform, the User is obliged to select the correct blockchain network for the said transfer transaction. The selection of an incorrect blockchain network by the User may result in the irreversible loss of the said crypto assets, and CoinTR shall not be liable for this. Due to delays that may occur on the blockchain network, the time for the transfer to take place may be longer than planned, and since such delays do not originate from CoinTR and/or the Platform, CoinTR may not be held liable for such delays.
4.35. CoinTR is under no obligation to monitor or supervise the transactions carried out on the Platform. However, if prices formed on the Platform consist of unrealistic prices as a result of a technical error, transactions may be temporarily suspended and transactions determined to be erroneous may be canceled by CoinTR's technical team in order to ensure the proper functioning of the Platform. If it is determined that User accounts have unfairly benefited from a technical malfunction or that Users have intervened with the Platform in a way that affects the functioning of the Platform (e.g., through cyber-attack), the User accounts deemed responsible may be frozen, blocked or canceled. CoinTR's rights to pursue all claims and complaints regarding the return of crypto assets or fiat money taken out of the Platform in such situations are separately reserved. CoinTR may not be held liable for delays or problems that may occur on the Platform due to such disruptions that arise in extraordinary situations.
4.36. CoinTR has the right to request certain information/documents from the User during account opening or after the account has been opened, for information security and/or account-transaction verification. The User accepts, declares and undertakes that they shall submit the requested information/documents to CoinTR. If the documents/information requested by CoinTR are not submitted to CoinTR by the User within 2 (two) days, or if they are submitted incorrectly/incompletely, CoinTR shall have the right to freeze, block or completely close the User's accounts.
4.37. Under no circumstances shall CoinTR, its managers, employees, business partners or representatives be held liable for any indirect, incidental, special or punitive damages that may arise with respect to the User, including but not limited to loss of profitability, data loss, loss of value or loss of other tangible assets, due to the User's use of the Platform or inability to use it properly, or as a result of intervention in access to or use of the Platform or its content.
4.38. CoinTR has the right not to accept money transfers made by users without showing any reason. In the event of such a situation, CoinTR shall return the money deposited by users within a reasonable period of time.
4.39. CoinTR may unilaterally determine user limits and also has the right to make changes thereto. Changes shall take effect from the moment they are announced on the website, and the website records shall be valid.
4.40. Risks
4.40.1. Users should not conduct these transactions unless they understand the risks associated with the purchase and sale of crypto assets. The value of crypto assets is determined by supply and demand on the Platform, and as the price is by its nature volatile and high-risk, it may cause Users to lose significant amounts of money. When Users wish to trade on the Platform, they are deemed to understand these risks. CoinTR is not liable for the User's financial losses due to high fluctuations in the price of the crypto asset traded by the User.
4.40.2. The removal of crypto assets traded on the Platform from the Platform and the closure of trading is subject to the unilateral discretion of CoinTR. In the event that Users incur losses and/or lose their crypto assets due to this, CoinTR may not be held liable. CoinTR shall announce its decision on the Platform a period of time before, as determined at its unilateral discretion, regarding crypto assets that it has decided to delist and remove from the Platform. Apart from this, CoinTR has no obligation to notify the relevant Users regarding crypto assets that it has decided to delist from the Platform and close trading for.
4.40.3. The User acknowledges that there are risks associated with the use of an internet-based platform, including but not limited to the malfunction of hardware, software and internet connections. CoinTR shall not be responsible, for whatever reason, for any communication errors, interruptions, mistakes, distortions or delays that the User may encounter while using the Platform.
4.40.4. The User acknowledges that there may be operational issues, human error, malicious acts (such as fraud or cyber-attacks) and other risks related to the transmission of crypto assets.
