    1. You are not a citizen or resident of a sanctioned country according to the up-to-date lists of the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the United Nations, the European Union and any EU Member State, the UK Treasury, etc.;

    4. You have opened a Nexo Account with Nexo;
    5. You have read, understood and agreed to our Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy.

In the event that we subsequently ascertain that you have not met or do not meet any of these conditions anymore, we may suspend the provision of the Nexo Services to you and close your Nexo Account, and do not allow you to use the Nexo Services.
  3. At any time, at our sole and absolute discretion, without liability to you, we can: (i) refuse your request for granting of a Nexo Crypto Credit; (ii) change the conditions for entering into the Agreement or use of the Nexo Crypto Credit; (iii) suspend the provision of the Nexo Crypto Credit or of all or part of the other Nexo Services; or (iv) change, update, remove, cancel, suspend, disable or discontinue any features, component, content, incentive or referral plan of the Nexo Crypto Credit.

IV. NEXO CRYPTO CREDIT AND COLLATERAL

  1. Nexo will grant you a Nexo Crypto Credit in Digital Assets, if you provide the required Digital Assets as collateral, by transferring them into the Nexo Account, or by using ones available thereinto (“Collateral”). All such Digital Assets are indicated on the Nexo Platform and in the Nexo Account and are subject to revision from time to time.
  2. The value of the Nexo Crypto Credit shall be calculated by the loan-to-value-ratio, as indicated on the Nexo Platform and subject to revision from time to time, (“LTV”), against the value of the Collateral at the time of granting. The value of the Collateral shall be dynamically calculated by Nexo in accordance with its applicable policy at the moment, on the basis of margin percentages applied to the market value of the Collateral, according to an exchange ratio equivalent to the volume­ weighted average price of the relevant Digital Assets, across leading cryptocurrency exchanges.
  3. You shall at all times maintain the necessary Collateral in accordance with the LTV.
  4. You may initiate substitution of the Digital Assets used as Collateral at any time, by initiating an Exchange Transaction in accordance with the Nexo Exchange Service General Terms and Conditions, only under the condition that the LTV applicable to the Base Assets used as Collateral exceeds the LTV applicable to the Counter Assets intended to serve as Collateral of the same Nexo Crypto Credit instead of the Base Assets, as indicated on the Nexo Platform and in the Nexo Account. Once your Order has been executed, the Counter Assets shall be topped up into the Credit Wallet of your Nexo Account, respectively your Nexo Crypto Credit balance shall be updated and the substitution shall be deemed completed. In case the LTV applicable to the Counter Assets exceeds the one applicable to the Base Assets, only the Counter Assets corresponding to the initial LTV shall be used as Collateral and the remaining balance shall be at the Client’s disposal as per these General Terms and the general terms and conditions of the other Nexo Services. The number of substitutions under this Art. IV.4. shall be unlimited while the Nexo Crypto Credit is outstanding.
  5. Unless prohibited by any Applicable Law or the Client is a resident of the USA, by virtue of this Agreement Nexo acquires the ownership title and all attendant rights of ownership of the Collateral while the Nexo Crypto Credit is outstanding, and can dispose of this Collateral in any manner at its sole and absolute discretion. Otherwise, you understand and agree that we can convert, pledge, re-pledge, hypothecate, rehypothecate, sell, lend, or otherwise transfer, dispose of or use any amount of such Collateral, separately or together with other property, and for any period of time, and without retaining in our possession and/or control for delivery a like amount thereof or any other assets, at our sole and absolute discretion. Any such action will be performed in our name only and you will have no benefits and liabilities from it. In cases of a substitution under this Art. IV.4., once the same has been completed, the ownership title and all attendant rights, as well as the other rights, of Nexo under the preceding sentence, if and to the extent acquired, shall pass onto the Counter Assets used as Collateral of the same Nexo Crypto Credit.
  6. If a Nexo Crypto Credit is granted as part of the Nexo Booster, Section XIII of the Nexo Services General Terms and Conditions shall apply accordingly, while in case of any discrepancy between these General Terms and Section XIII of the Nexo Services General Terms and Conditions, the latter shall prevail.
  7. If a Nexo Crypto Credit is granted for opening a Futures Contract, Section XIV of the Nexo Services General Terms and Conditions shall apply accordingly, while in case of any discrepancy between these General Terms and Section XIV of the Nexo Services General Terms and Conditions, the latter shall prevail.

V. INTEREST

  1. A compound annual Interest shall commence accruing as of the start date of the Nexo Crypto Credit (“Start Date”), at the rate determined at the time the Nexo Crypto Credit is granted and indicated in the Nexo Account and on the Nexo Platform. The Interest shall be subject to revision from time to time, at our sole and absolute discretion.
  2. The Interest shall be calculated on a daily basis, at UTC 00:00 on each calendar day, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year.
  3. No periodic repayment of the Interest shall be due. Any Interest accrued shall be indicated in the Nexo Account.

VI. MARGIN CALLS. LIQUIDATION

  1. If the LTV increases above certain thresholds, as indicated on the Nexo Platform, you shall provide additional Collateral and/or make the required repayments to rebalance the Nexo Crypto Credit. In addition, in case you have enabled the available option(s) in your Nexo Account, the relevant amount and type of Digital Assets will be automatically transferred from the Savings Wallet to the Credit Wallet of your Nexo Account to serve as additional Collateral in the following order (i) the relevant amount and type of Digital Assets and/or Interest to which the relevant Nexo Earn Interest Product(s) for a FLEX Term applies; (ii) the Base Asset in a Trigger Swap Order(s), where the Order(s) will be automatically canceled; (iii) the relevant amount and type of Digital Assets to which the relevant Nexo Earn Interest Product(s) for a Fixed Term applies. If the necessary requirements are met, you may opt for such automatic transfer where the relevant amount and type of Digital Assets and/or Interest, to which the relevant Nexo Earn Interest Product(s) for a FLEX Term applies, will be automatically transferred to maintain the desired lower LTV of your Nexo Crypto Credit, according to the procedure described on the Nexo Platform. The above features will affect your outstanding Nexo Crypto Credit henceforth and may be disabled at any time, as indicated on the Nexo Platform.
  2. If the LTV increases above the maximum permitted threshold, as indicated on the Nexo Platform, Nexo shall liquidate the necessary amount of Collateral to rebalance your Nexo Crypto Credit, respectively shall close any Futures Contracts, and you give Nexo the authority and discretion to sell or dispose of any or all Collateral, respectively close any Futures Contracts, in such manner as Nexo, in its sole discretion, sees fit.
  3. Nexo may take reasonable steps, but shall not be obliged to notify you of any changes in the LTV prior to Nexo exercising its rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to proceeding with liquidation or closing of Futures Contracts. Nexo retains the discretion to liquidate your Collateral or close your Futures Contracts without prior notice, especially when market conditions require immediate action. You acknowledge and agree that it is your sole responsibility to monitor the prevailing market conditions at a given time and maintain your LTV in full accordance with these General Terms, without request or notice by Nexo.

VII. TERM

  1. The Nexo Crypto Credit shall be matured in a 12-month term starting from the Start Date (“Maturity Date”).
  2. Unless terminated on the Maturity Date in accordance with these General Terms, the term of the Nexo Crypto Credit shall be automatically extended for another 12-month term. The number of extensions under the preceding sentence shall be unlimited.

VIII. REPAYMENT AND WITHDRAWAL

  1. The Nexo Crypto Credit shall be repaid on the Maturity Date unless its term has been automatically extended in accordance with Art. VII.2.
  2. You may repay at any time prior to the Maturity Date and any amount: (i) by transferring into the Nexo Account the same Digital Assets as the Nexo Crypto Credit granted, or other Digital Assets acceptable to Nexo; (ii) with the Collateral; or (iii) by combination of (i) and (ii). Certain rules may apply to repayments from time to time, as indicated on the Nexo Platform, including in the case of a Futures Contract, where the Nexo Crypto Credit will be repaid after the closure of the relevant Futures Contract.
  3. All repayments shall be allocated first to the fees (if any), then to the Interest and last to the principal of the Nexo Crypto Credit.
  4. Once the Nexo Crypto Credit has been repaid in full, all remaining Collateral shall no longer be treated as such for the purpose of the Nexo Crypto Credit.
  5. Nexo may provide you with discounts on the Nexo Crypto Credit or any part thereof, such as the principal or the Interest, at any time, under conditions it finds appropriate.
