Terms of Service
Welcome to the CoinQuoter app (www.coinquoter.com), a website-hosted user interface (the “Interface”) made available by FICC (“FICC,” “we,” “us” or “our”). The Interface provides access to a decentralized protocol on the Ethereum blockchain that allows users to trade cryptocurrencies on a peer-to-peer basis (the “Protocol”). Additionally, you can access the Protocol through third-party web or mobile interfaces. You are responsible for doing your own diligence on those interfaces to understand the fees and risks they present. These Terms of Use and any terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “Terms”) govern your access and use of the Interface. You must read the Terms carefully. By accessing, browsing or otherwise using the Interface, or by acknowledging agreement to the Terms on the Interface, you agree that you have read, understood and accepted all of the Terms and our Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”), which is incorporated by reference into the Terms. THE TERMS CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION, INCLUDING A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, BOTH OF WHICH IMPACT YOUR RIGHTS AS TO HOW DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED.

When we make changes, we will make the updated Terms available on the Interface and update the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of the Terms accordingly. Please check the Terms periodically for changes. Any changes to the Terms will apply on the date that they are made, and your continued access or use of the Interface after the Terms have been updated will constitute your binding acceptance of the updates. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, then you should not continue to access or use the Interface.
