  1. BITHASHEX OÜ shall keep and manage the entrusted Digital Assets with due care.

17.5 Form of storage

  1. To ensure the secure and safe storage of Digital Assets, BITHASHEX OÜ manages multiple online, offline and hybrid wallets dedicated to supported cryptocurrencies and assets. Those wallets are either fully operated and controlled by BITHASHEX OÜ FL, or partially managed through a third-party service provider. This form of storage may result in Client's assets being pooled or placed in an omnibus account. Unless instructed otherwise, BITHASHEX OÜ is entitled to hold Digital Assets and cryptocurrencies with other assets of their kind, transfer them to a third party for safekeeping or hold them in collective depository. BITHASHEX OÜ is in particular explicitly authorized to store Client´s Digital Assets using third-party services partially operated offline from the related blockchain. The third-party service provides secure means to maintain and administer Digital Assets traded on the BITHASHEX OÜ Platform.
  2. A service partially operated offline from the blockchain is a service where internal transactions may occur without being recorded on the blockchain and/or where some transactions are not possible without an additional validation/operation made offline from the blockchain.
