7. Orders and Service Fees

7.1 Orders

Upon placing an instruction to effect a trade using the Services (an “Order”), your Account will be updated to reflect the open Order and your Order will be included in Scratch’s order book for matching with Orders from other Users. If all or a portion of your Order is matched with another User, the Services will execute an exchange (a “Trade”). Upon execution of a Trade, your Account will be updated to reflect that the Order has either been closed due to having been fully executed, or updated to reflect any partial fulfillment of the Order. Orders will remain open until fully executed or cancelled in accordance with subsection (7.2) below. For purposes of effectuating a Trade, you authorize Scratch to take temporary control of the Digital Currency that you are disposing of in the Trade.

7.2 Cancellations

You may only cancel an order initiated via the Services if such cancellation occurs before your Order has been matched with an Order from another user. Once your Order has been matched with an Order from another user, you may not change, withdraw, or cancel your authorization for Scratch to complete such Order. If any order has been partially matched, you may cancel the unmatched portion of the Order unless and until the unmatched portion has been matched. Scratch reserves the right to refuse any cancellation request associated with an Order after you have submitted such Order. If you have an insufficient amount of Digital Currency in your Account to fulfill an Order, Scratch may cancel the entire Order or may fulfill a partial Order that can be covered by the Digital Currency in your Account (in each case after deducting any fees payable to Scratch in connection with the Trade as described in subsection (7.3) below).

7.3 Fees

You agree to pay Scratch the fees  which may be updated from time to time in Scratch’s sole discretion. Any such updated fees will apply prospectively to any trades or other transactions that take place following the effective date of such updated fees. You authorize Scratch to remove any amounts from your Account for any applicable fees owed by you under these Terms. Should there be insufficient balance in your Account to deduct any fees due and owing to Scratch under this provision, you agree that you shall forthwith deposit such amount into your Account as soon as possible (and in no event later than three (3) working days after such fees become payable) as to enable Scratch to deduct the appropriate fees. Failure to do so will entitle Scratch at its own absolute discretion to suspend, close or cancel the Account and treat the unpaid fees as a debt owing by you to Scratch and thereby an amount recoverable from you by any legal means available to Scratch. Any interest on unpaid fees, as well as any and all costs and charges arising from the recovery actions of unpaid fees, shall be solely borne by you and payable to Scratch on an indemnity basis.

8. Futures Trading

8.1 Risks

Futures Trading are highly risky. As a futures trader, you acknowledge and agree that you shall access and use the margin trading and borrowing service at your own risks:

• Trading markets are extremely volatile and shift quickly in terms of liquidity, market depth, and trading dynamics. The use of leverage can work against you as well as for you and can lead to large losses as well as gains.
• Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for example, there is insufficient liquidity in the market or due to technical issues on Scratch.
• Placing contingent orders will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.
• There is no guaranteed measure against losses on futures trading. As a borrower, you may sustain a total loss beyond what you have deposited to your contract account.

8.2 To enter into Futures Trading

• You represent and warrant that you are not either from the US, nor on any trade or economic sanctions lists, such as designated as a “Specially Designated National” by OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U. S. Treasury Department).
• You should fully understand the risks associated with the futures trading and lending and solely responsible and liable for any and all trading and non-trading activity on your Scratch account. Do not enter into a transaction or invest in funds that are above your financial abilities.
• You are solely responsible and liable for knowing the true status of any position, even if presented incorrectly by Scratch at any time.
• You agree to maintain in your Scratch futures account a sufficient amount of blockchain assets required by Scratch for users to engage in futures trading and return your loan in full timely. Failure to maintain a sufficient amount of assets or fail to return outstanding loan duly can result in the forced-liquidation of assets in your futures account.
• Scratch cannot guarantee to stop losses even with the ability to force-liquidate any of your positions. If, after your positions are liquidated, your assets are insufficient to cover the outstanding loan, you are still responsible for any additional assets shortfall.
• Scratch may, in its sole discretion, perform measures to mitigate potential losses to you on your behalf, including, but not limited to, transferring balances from your contract to your exchange account and/or from your exchange to your futures account.
• During Scratch system maintenance, you agree that you are solely responsible and liable for managing your futures account under risk, including but not limited to, keep or close your position and repay your loan.
• You agree that you conduct all trading, futures trading and/or borrowing on your own account and claim full responsibility for your activities. Scratch does not take any responsibility for any loss or damage incurred as a result of your use of any services or your failure to understand the risks involved associated with assets use generally or your use of our services.
• You are aware that on liquidation, all open orders are immediately cancelled. You may lose all your positions and all the funds in your contract account. If Scratch cannot close all the positions on liquidation, the insurance fund and / or counterparty-liquidation will take effect. Scratch takes every possible step to avoid counterparty liquidation to minimize the potential impact of any counterparty liquidation when it does occur. Unfortunately, due to the volatility in the Crypto markets, and the high leverage offered to clients, it is not possible to fully avoid this possibility. In order to provide the best possible client experience, Scratch are striving to keep counterparty liquidations to an absolute minimum.
• Due to network delay, computer system failures and other force majeure, which may lead to delay, suspension or deviation of Scratch service execution, Scratchcrypto.com will use commercially reasonable effort to ensure but not promise that Scratch service execution system run stably and effectively. Scratchcrypto.com does not take any responsibility if the final execution doesn’t match your expectations due to the above factors.

15. RESOLVING DISPUTES: FORUM, ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT INVOLVES A WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS TO BRING LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

a. Notification of Dispute. Please contact Scratch first! Scratch wants to address your concerns without resorting to formal legal proceedings. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting Scratch first through Scratch official website.

b. Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Scratch agree to resolve any claims relating to this Agreement (including any question regarding its existence, validity, termination, or any services or products provided and any representations made by us) through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below. You agree to first give us an opportunity to resolve any claims by contacting us as set forth in subsection (a) above. If we are not able to resolve your claims within 60 days of receiving the notice, you may seek relief through arbitration or in the Small Claims Tribunals of Singapore (“SCT”), as set forth below.

c. Arbitration Procedure. Either you or Scratch may submit a dispute (after having made good faith efforts to resolve such dispute in accordance with subsections (a) and (b) above) for final, binding resolution by arbitration under the arbitration rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”), which are deemed to be incorporated by reference. The arbitration tribunal shall consist of a sole arbitrator to be appointed by the President of SIAC. The language of the arbitration hearings shall be English and the seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be Singapore. Judgment on any arbitral award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the party (or the assets of the party) due and owing such award.

d. Exceptions. Either party may instead choose to assert the claims in the SCT if the claims fall within the jurisdiction of the SCT, and either party may seek injunctive relief or other urgent equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. However, for the avoidance of doubt, where the claims fall outside of the jurisdiction of the SCT, the claims will be referred to and finally resolved by SIAC arbitration.

e. Notice. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claims to support@scratchapp.com. If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or street address you have provided.
