Terms and Conditions

01. Scope

These terms and conditions ("Terms") apply to the access and use of the website available on https://offx.tech/ ("Website") provided by offx AG, Gotthardstrasse 26, 6300 Zug, Switzerland ("offx"), and the platform available on the Website after registration as per these Terms ("Platform"). For the avoidance of doubt, reference to the Website includes the Platform. 

To access and use the Website, the user (each separately "User" and together "Users" or "you") must agree to and abide by these Terms.

offx reserves the right to change these Terms, the Website, any part of it, or any related services from time to time or suspend the Website or parts of it temporarily or definitively at any time at its own discretion. The User should review the Terms on a regular basis. The User's continued use of the Website following any amendments indicates acceptance of the changes to the Terms.

If the User does not agree to these Terms or any changes to the Terms, the User may not access or use the Website.

02. Platform

The purpose of the Platform is to provide an information exchange for Users to communicate their non-binding intention to enter into transactions relating to illiquid assets of crypto projects such as tokens, agreements for future tokens, equity and other related instruments (the "Instruments"). 

Registered Users may submit a request to place a non-binding listing on the Platform ("Offering Users") to buy, sell, transfer, assign or forward specific Instruments at a specific price and during a specific offer period (each a "Listing"). offx reserves the right to review the Listing request and decide in its sole discretion whether or not to accept the Listing. If accepted by offx, the Listing is published on the Platform and announced to all Users on a dedicated channel in the Telegram app in anonymous form, i.e. without any information relating to the Offering User. 

Other Users have the possibility to ask a predefined set of questions to the Offering Users via the Platform. Any storage or sharing of any Listing outside of the Platform or any direct contact between Users outside of the Platform or the dedicated Telegram channel without the consent of offx is strictly prohibited. By clicking the accept button on the Platform, other Users may indicate their non-binding interest in a Listing ("Interested User"). 

offx provides the contact details of the respective Offering User and Interested User to each other only if all of the following conditions are fulfilled: 

• A match occurred between an Offering User and an Interested User relating to a given Offer; 
• The respective Offering User and Interested User have entered a separate agreement with offx; 
• If requested by offx, the respective Offering User and Interested User successfully underwent a KYC/KYB process with offx; and
