1.8 You have understood, acknowledged and accepted the following DISCLAIMER:
1.8.1 The risk of loss in trading or holding Bitcoin or any other Cryptocurrency can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether trading or holding Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. In considering whether to trade or hold Cryptocurrency, you should be aware that the price or value of Cryptocurrency can change rapidly, decrease, and potentially even fall to zero.
1.8.2 You acknowledge that HuaCool is not responsible for safeguarding or holding your Cryptocurrency, or any private keys or other security information to access your Cryptocurrency and that HuaCool is not responsible for any loss of Cryptocurrency resulting from theft, loss, or mishandling of Cryptocurrency private keys or other security information outside its control.
1.8.3 Every purchase and sale of Cryptocurrency is effected on and confirmed by the respective network of that Cryptocurrency. The confirmation takes a period of time (usually less than one hour, but possibly one day or more). An Order is not complete until it is confirmed. Cryptocurrency associated with Orders that are in a pending state will be designated accordingly.
1.8.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if you are using the NFT Checkout and are purchasing an NFT from a third party, HuaCool may facilitate the purchase and delivery of the NFT to a Wallet.
1.8.5 We do not endorse any NFT in any way. We do not verify the authenticity and do not review (or approve) of any NFT. NFT sellers may make claims about intellectual property ownership, rarity and uniqueness, and value. It is solely your responsibility to investigate and determine the authenticity of any NFT you are considering buying, along with the accuracy of the claims made by the NFT seller. The NFT seller also determines the price, and that price may not be the true market value of the NFT. The rarity and true market value of the NFT may be subject to change, especially if minting is ongoing. HuaCool makes no representations with respect to any NFT to be purchased. You should not assume that purchasing an NFT gives you any legal rights beyond mere ownership of the underlying blockchain asset. HuaCool makes no representations as to any auxiliary rights, benefits or rewards supposedly accompanying any NFT.
1.8.6 A transaction between a buyer and a seller takes place in a peer-to-peer fashion on a public blockchain. We do not guarantee that you will receive your NFT, as there are a number of reasons why transactions may fail. For example, network congestion, a technical blockchain issue or another buyer purchases that NFT before your transaction completes on the blockchain. In case your transaction fails, HuaCool will pay for any gas fees included in the transaction.

manually typing your Wallet address;
using a Wallet address automatically provided by a HuaCool partner; or
accessing your HuaCool Wallet.

It is therefore important that the Wallet address that you provide for an Order is correct. You understand and agree that HuaCool accepts no liability for you providing an incorrect or inaccurate Wallet address as part of an Order. By providing a Wallet address to us, you confirm that this is the Wallet address that should be used for the relevant Order and we will not, and have no responsibility to, check whether you have provided a correct and accurate Wallet address for the Order.
7.4 You acknowledge and agree, without prejudice to any other terms in this Agreement, that you bear all of the risk of any loss of access to your Wallet(s) and any Cryptocurrencies contained in your Wallet(s).

7.5. HuaCool Wallet
As part of our Services, you may be able to create a HuaCool Wallet. You understand and agree that the HuaCool Wallet is a non-custodial wallet.
In order to create a HuaCool Wallet, you may be required to provide additional information including your phone number or email, and a one time password (“OTP”). You agree not to provide another person's phone number or email address. This HuaCool Wallet will be linked to your HuaCool account and is controlled by you.
When you create a HuaCool Wallet, a mnemonic phrase (aka a “seed phrase”) is created with random entropy on your device. This seed phrase is used to derive a cryptographic key pair. The resultant public/private key pair represents the HuaCool Wallet and ownership of the private key is evidence of your ownership of your HuaCool Wallet. The public key is visible to all participants of a blockchain’s network. This public/private key pair enables you to send and receive Cryptocurrencies on the relevant blockchain network. The private key is required to digitally sign transactions for any Cryptocurrency represented by the corresponding public key. HuaCool will not store your seed phrase or private key in its database. Instead, HuaCool utilises a dedicated and secure data centre from Amazon Web Services leveraging hardware security and proprietary technology to encrypt your seed phrase and automatically backup the encrypted wallet.
You as the user retain control of your HuaCool Wallet and private key at all times. HuaCool will never request your private key. HuaCool can not directly access your seed phrase or private key. Only the email or phone number associated with the HuaCool Account can access the materials needed to decrypt the encrypted backup. This encrypted backup is only ever decrypted on your local device and is never sent or stored anywhere on the HuaCool servers. You may choose to backup and export your mnemonic phrase at any time. You may also request that HuaCool delete any encrypted backup of your mnemonic phrase. Please note that if you do export your mnemonic phrase, you are solely responsible for the security of your HuaCool Wallet and HuaCool can not be liable for any lost or stolen data. If there is additional two-factor authentication enabled, you may be required to authenticate with a second OTP in order to access your encrypted wallet backup.
Once authenticated you may initiate any wallet related transaction using the Services at any time. HuaCool does not sign messages on your behalf or control the HuaCool Wallet on your behalf. Once authenticated you, the user, can initiate any relevant blockchain transaction. HuaCool has no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity or accuracy of any transaction, though it may, at its sole discretion, inquire into or investigate such a transaction. You, the user, will be responsible for keeping your phone and/or email address secure and for any activity associated with your phone/email and your HuaCool Wallet. HuaCool will not be responsible if someone else accesses your phone/email and authorises a transaction upon receipt of an OTP. You should let HuaCool know immediately if your phone has been stolen and/or your phone or email has otherwise been compromised.
HuaCool has no ability to access your seed phrase or any other raw private key information. We cannot unilaterally initiate a transfer of Cryptocurrencies or otherwise access Cryptocurrencies in your HuaCool Wallet
We are not your brokers, intermediaries, agents, advisors, or custodians, and we do not have a fiduciary relationship or obligation to you regarding any decisions in connection with a HuaCool Wallet or our Services. We are not responsible for any activities that you engage in when using your HuaCool Wallet, and you should understand the risks associated with Cryptocurrencies.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your private keys and your HuaCool Wallet. You acknowledge and agree, without prejudice to any other terms in this Agreement, that you bear all of the risk of any loss of access to your HuaCool Wallet and any Cryptocurrencies contained in it. HuaCool does not control and is not responsible for the Cryptocurrencies in your HuaCool Wallet. You are solely responsible for any Cryptocurrencies transferred to or from your HuaCool Wallet and we make no, and hereby disclaim all, representations, warranties, claims and assurances as to any such transactions. If you lose your keys to your HuaCool Wallet, you may lose access to your HuaCool Wallet and any Cryptocurrencies contained in it. HuaCool is not liable for fluctuations in the fiat currency value of Cryptocurrencies in your HuaCool Wallet.
8. Transmission delays
8.1 HuaCool will use good faith efforts to fulfil Orders at the time that you place such Order, including the applicable fee and costs. However, from time to time, it may be necessary for HuaCool to delay fulfilment of an Order until such time as we are able to execute the Order. In such cases, we will notify you prior to the completion of your Order both:
8.1.1 the amount of Cryptocurrency you will receive; and
8.1.2 the price at the time (including associated fees and costs).
8.2 HuaCool does not have any control over transaction times for the Cryptocurrency Network and there may be instances where transaction times may take longer than usual. As such, you accept the risk that an Order facilitated by HuaCool may be delayed and you confirm that you will not hold HuaCool responsible for any losses, damages or injury arising out of or related to such delay.
9. Cancellations and refunds
9.1 Once you have placed an Order has been made it cannot be cancelled or recalled.
9.2 All Orders are final and cannot be refunded.
9.3 Once an Order has been sent to the Cryptocurrency Wallet it cannot be recalled or retrieved under any circumstances.
9.4 You hereby agree that upon delivery, you will not be entitled to any credit or refund and all purchases, sales, and swaps of Cryptocurrency are final. HuaCool's obligation towards you will be absolutely discharged upon delivery of the Cryptocurrency to your Wallet or fiat funds to your bank account and you shall have no claim or right against HuaCool upon such delivery.
9.5 Please also note that Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible. It is your sole responsibility to be vigilant of any fraud or mistake and to keep your private key safe. HuaCool will not take responsibility to issue refunds, regardless of whether you were the victim of fraud, mistake or loss of private key.

10.3 HuaCool shall not be liable to you for any losses you may suffer as a result of any reasonable action it takes to suspend the Account or withhold settlement of a Cryptocurrency Order in accordance with this clause 10.

You acknowledge that our decision to take certain actions, including limiting access to, suspending, or closing your HuaCool Account, may be based on confidential criteria that are essential for the purposes of our risk management and security protocols. You agree that we are under no obligation to disclose the details of its risk management and security procedures to you.

You may not cancel your HuaCool Account to evade an investigation or avoid paying any amounts otherwise due to HuaCool.
