Your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account is only for holding cash; you may not deposit any bitcoin into your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account. All bitcoin you purchase using NYDIG’s Service will be held in your NYDIG Account. NYDIG’s Service is provided exclusively by NYDIG Execution LLC (“NYDIG”).

You cannot cancel an Order once you have confirmed it through the Interface.
NO INVESTMENT ADVICE
We may provide you with information about the Interface and general information about NYDIG’s Service. This information is designed to be educational in nature and is not investment advice. We are not investment advisors. This information is not personalized or tailored to your individual financial circumstances or goals, and, as a result, may not be suitable for you. Additionally, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that bitcoin is not a security and is, therefore, not subject to securities laws and protections. Your purchase, holding, and sale of bitcoin is at your own risk.
SECURE CREDENTIALS
You must have or create secure credentials, among other things, to access the Interface. Only you are authorized to use your secure credentials to access the Interface and use NYDIG’s Service.

PROHIBITED USES

We further reserve the right to suspend or terminate your use of these services if we believe that you are using them for business or commercial purposes.
SERVICE DISRUPTIONS
Access to your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account, the Interface, your NYDIG Account, and/or NYDIG’s Service may be disrupted or unavailable due to circumstances beyond our control, technological failures, or due to scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. This could result in the inability to access your NYDIG Account and/or place Buy Orders and Sell Orders for an unknown time and may also contribute to delays in communication with you regarding your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account. Having access to your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account, the Interface, your NYDIG Account, and/or NYDIG’s Service unavailable for an unknown time could have consequences to you, particularly if the price for bitcoin differs significantly from the price available prior to such event. We have no liability for any losses resulting from such disruptions, delays, or interruptions.
REASONS WE MAY FREEZE, HOLD, SUSPEND, OR CLOSE YOUR QUALIFIED SOUTHLAND ACCOUNT
We may freeze your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account, place a hold on funds therein, or suspend access to, or close your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account, thereby restricting your access to the Interface, NYDIG’s Service, and your NYDIG Account, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that: (a) you no longer meet the eligibility requirements; (b) you have violated any of the Terms, including, but not limited to engaging in Prohibited Uses, defined above; (c) you have engaged in any suspicious or fraudulent activity in connection with the Interface, NYDIG’s Service, or any other account, whether owned by you or another, or otherwise attempt to defraud us or any person or entity, or have caused us a loss in any way; (d) we are notified of a court order or other legal process (including garnishment, divorce, bankruptcy, or any equivalent processes) relating to you; (e) we receive legal documentation or notice confirming your death or incapacitation or otherwise receive information leading us to believe you have died or become incapacitated; (f) you control another account with us, including subaccounts, that is subject to suspension or closure by us for any reason; (g) your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account has remained in an inactive status for a period of three years or longer; (h) we have reason to believe the security of one or more of your accounts might have been compromised; or (i) we believe we are required to do so in order to comply with applicable law. We are not liable for any loss, including a loss in value in your NYDIG Account, while your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account is frozen, on hold, suspended, or closed.
In the event we freeze, hold, suspend, or close your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account, your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account might not be unfrozen, reactivated, or reopened immediately, even if you meet all eligibility requirements.
If we freeze, hold, suspend, or close your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account, your access to all or part of the Interface and NYDIG’s Service will be suspended, but your NYDIG Account may still fluctuate in value while your NYDIG Account is still open. We are not liable for any loss in value in your NYDIG Account as a result of those fluctuations while your access to the Interface is suspended or terminated. When we close your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account, NYDIG may close your NYDIG Account and initiate a Final Sell Order on your behalf. See “Consequences of Closing Your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account or Suspension or Termination of the Interface.”
SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION OF THE INTERFACE
We may suspend or terminate the Interface at any time in our sole discretion.
CONSEQUENCES OF CLOSING YOUR QUALIFIED SOUTHLAND ACCOUNT OR SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF THE INTERFACE
ANY TIME YOUR QUALIFIED SOUTHLAND ACCOUNT IS FROZEN, ON HOLD, SUSPENDED, OR CLOSED, OR WE SUSPEND OR TERMINATE THE INTERFACE (COLLECTIVELY “CLOSURE EVENT”), YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO ACCESS THE INTERFACE. THEREFORE, NYDIG MAY TREAT THE CLOSURE EVENT AS A NYDIG ACCOUNT CLOSURE REQUEST, IN WHICH CASE NYDIG MAY CLOSE THE NYDIG ACCOUNT AND INITIATE A FINAL SELL ORDER ON YOUR BEHALF. IF YOU DO NOT INITIATE A FINAL SELL ORDER YOURSELF AND NYDIG INITIATES A FINAL SELL ORDER ON YOUR BEHALF, THE TRANSACTION PROCEEDS WILL BE DEPOSITED INTO YOUR PRIMARY SHARE, EVEN IF THE PURCHASE WAS MADE FROM A DIFFERENT SHARE. ADDITIONALLY, THERE COULD BE ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES OF A FINAL SELL ORDER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSSES, A TRANSACTION FEE, A TAX LIABILITY AS FURTHER DESCRIBED IN THE SECTION “TAXES” ABOVE, AND THE TRANSACTION PROCEEDS BEING DISTRIBUTED TO ONE OR MORE JOINT ACCOUNT OWNERS OR BENEFICIARIES ON YOUR ACCOUNT UPON YOUR DEATH. YOU ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PRICE OF BITCOIN MAY DECLINE BETWEEN THE TIME OF THE CLOSURE EVENT, THE INITIAL NYDIG ACCOUNT CLOSURE REQUEST, AND THE EXECUTION OF THE FINAL SELL ORDER; YOU ALONE BEAR THE RISK OF ANY SUCH PRICE DECLINE AND ANY LOSSES RESULTING THEREFROM. LIKE ALL SELL ORDERS, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TRANSACTION FEE INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE FINAL SELL ORDER.
TRANSACTIONS IN VIOLATION OF THE TERMS
You agree to maintain a balance in your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account that is sufficient to fund all Transactions you initiate using the NYDIG Service. We are not responsible for any overdraft fees or insufficient fund charges that result from your failure to maintain a balance in your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account that is sufficient to fund the Transactions you initiate using the NYDIG Service. If you place a Buy Order that results in your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account being overdrawn, such as if a deposit is returned for any reason, you must bring your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account into good standing within five (5) days of your Qualified SOUTHLAND Account being overdrawn. .
LAW AND FORUM FOR DISPUTES
Unless our account agreement with you states otherwise, these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. To the extent that the terms of these Terms conflict with applicable state or federal law, such state or federal law shall replace such conflicting terms only to the extent required by law. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all other terms of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. Unless our account agreement with you states otherwise, you agree that any claim or dispute you may have against us (other than those which are arbitrated under Part 1 of the Member Account Agreement and Disclosure ) must be resolved by a court located in Orange County. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all claims or disputes (unless said claim is submitted to arbitration under Part 1 of the Member Account Agreement and Disclosure).
FORCE MAJEURE / UNCOMMON CIRCUMSTANCES
We will not be responsible for any failure to perform our duties and will not be liable hereunder for any loss or damage in association with such failure to perform, including but not limited to any loss or damage directly or indirectly attributable to price fluctuation in bitcoin, including as a result of any circumstance or event which is beyond our (or our agent’s) reasonable control that adversely affects our ability to provide access to NYDIG’s Service. Such circumstances include any event caused by, arising out of, or involving: (a) an act of God; (b) accident, fire, water, or wind damage or explosion; (c) any computer, system, or other equipment failure or malfunction caused by any computer virus or other malicious code or the malfunction or failure of any communications medium or any phishing or spoofing or other attack; (d) any interruption of the power supply or other utility service; (e) any strike or other work stoppage, whether partial or total; (f) any disruption of, or suspension of trading in, the digital asset markets; (g) pandemic or epidemic; or (h) any other similar event.
