regulatory approval has been obtained.

4.2 Customer acknowledges that trading activity, including in relation to cryptocurrency, presents risks,
including those set forth on appendix a attached hereto, which risks are assumed entirely by customer and its
end users and brokers, and it is customer’s sole responsibility to institute programs, policies and procedures
to address such risks and to seek to avoid associated transaction-related or other losses (trading-associated
losses). The terms and conditions in each of the appendices hereto, as applicable, including any disclaimers,
waivers and acknowledgments therein, supplement the disclaimers, waivers and acknowledgments in this agreement,
including in this clause, in relation to the services.

4.3 To the maximum extent permitted by law, the aggregate liability of sparling financial and its affiliates
(collectively, sparling financial) for any and all claims arising out of or relating to the access to and use of

thereof. For clarity, trading-associated losses shall be considered indirect or consequential damages and not

applicable liability caps shall nonetheless apply to limit the liability of sparling financial.

4.5 The foregoing limitations of liability shall not apply to any gross negligence, wilful misconduct, fraud or
fraudulent misrepresentation, to the extent liability for the foregoing cannot be limited or excluded under
applicable law.

other modification of this Agreement shall be notified to you in writing.

Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. No waiver of any rights is to be charged against any Party unless
such waiver is in writing signed by an authorized representative of the Party so charged. Neither the failure
nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or
privilege shall preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any
other right, power, or privilege.

6.4 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of
competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, and, if
legally permitted, such offending provision will be replaced with an enforceable provision that as nearly as
possible effects the Parties’ intent.

shall create any rights in favour of or impose any obligation upon any person or entity other than the Parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no third party is a beneficiary of this
Agreement, save for the Affiliates and Designees of Sparling Financial who may enforce the provisions in this
Agreement as if they had been parties to this Agreement in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

liability under this Agreement nor do such related entities guarantee any of Sparling Financial’s obligations

third party, to create the relationship of partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto.
