Important notice regarding Virtual Digital Assets​​​
AS WITH ANY ASSET, THE VALUE OF DIGITAL ASSETS CAN GO UP OR DOWN AND THERE CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL RISK THAT YOU LOSE MONEY BUYING, SELLING, TRADING, HOLDING OR INVESTING IN DIGITAL ASSETS SUCH AS CRYPTO. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER BUYING, SELLING, HOLDING, TRADING OR BUYING VIRTUAL DIGITAL ASSETS IS SUITABLE FOR YOU. The value of Virtual Digital Assets may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange Virtual Digital Assets for Fiat or other Digital Assets. If such willingness is abolished for any reason, this may result in the potential for a permanent and total loss of value of a particular Virtual Digital Asset. The volatility and unpredictability of the price of Virtual Digital Assets may result in significant loss over a short period of time.

​
4. How it works
​​
Using ZYLO
To use the Services, you simply need to fill out a form which provides all the information we need to complete your transaction (or “Order”).
​
​
Your responsibilities
ZYLO will display to you the Blockchain Wallet Address to which the Virtual Digital Assets will be transferred based on information obtained either from you or the host application you used to launch the widget. You are obliged to verify whether the displayed Blockchain Wallet Address that has been disclosed in the application is the correct one. You are obligated to provide a Digital Asset address that is owned by you and is under your full control and authorisation, to which Digital Assets will be transferred. You represent that the Blockchain Wallet Address is solely under your control. You are obligated to verify whether a transfer of Digital Assets may be successfully effectuated to the Blockchain Wallet Address that you have provided to ZYLO. Certain digital wallet providers may impose limits in that respect, which may result in the Digital Assets being released by ZYLO but not accepted to the digital wallet. In the event that this occurs, ZYLO will not be liable and the service will be considered rendered.​
​
​
Inaccurate Data
ZYLO is not responsible for any inaccuracy in the data provided by you. You are obliged to check all the information before submitting it to ZYLO. Blockchain transactions are irreversible and ZYLO will not be able to reverse any transactions already executed in case you made a mistake in the provided data or instruction. ZYLO is under no obligation to provide you with a refund or compensation of any sort for erroneous transactions caused by your input of inaccurate data.
​
Blockchain Data
Blockchain transactions are irreversible, and any information stored in the Blockchain will remain publicly viewable and immutable for an indefinite period of time. Your Blockchain Wallet Address and certain data will be displayed permanently and publicly. You agree to relinquish any right of rectification or to the erasure of personal data, which is not possible on most Blockchain networks.
​​
​​
Use of third parties
We use third party exchanges and payment systems to settle your Orders. We’re not responsible or liable for any delay or errors made by them. We’re also not responsible for the consequences of any limits set by your or any third party wallet providers.
​​
Trades
Trades made for purposes of ZYLO’s execution of your order are usually settled using Blockchain and online payment systems (for the transfer of Fiat). ZYLO does not provide a settlement platform on its own and is not liable for any errors or delays in the functioning of settlement systems.
​​
Limits on Orders
We may impose certain limits on the minimum or maximum number of trades you can enter into in a given time. We can set and change these limits at our discretion.
​
Cancelling Orders
We reserve the right to cancel your Order, without advance notice to you, if we don’t receive the correct purchase price from you in time. In the event that an Order is canceled because we don’t receive the correct purchase price from you in time, you may be required at ZYLO’s discretion to bear the costs of resending Fiat money to you. For purposes of clarity, the price paid needs to be exactly equal to the purchase price indicated by ZYLO.​​
