The B2X Service
2.1. Ledn’s B2X service facilitates obtaining a Ledn Loan and using the Loan Proceeds to purchase more Eligible Cryptocurrency. When you navigate to the B2X Product Page, you may use the B2X calculator to obtain a Buy Quote to purchase Eligible Cryptocurrency.
2.2. If you wish to place a Buy Order to purchase Eligible Cryptocurrency based on a Buy Quote, you must have the selected amount of Eligible Cryptocurrency (the "Selected Cryptocurrency") transferred to Ledn which shall be used as collateral for obtaining a Ledn Loan, the proceeds of which will be automatically used to purchase the specified amount of Eligible Cryptocurrency (the "B2X Cryptocurrency").
2.3. The Selected Cryptocurrency and the B2X Cryptocurrency together will be held as collateral for the B2X Loan until your B2X Loan is repaid.
-
Placing a Buy Order
3.1. On the B2X Product Page, a Buy Quote is generated once you input the amount of Selected Cryptocurrency that you wish to use as part collateral for the B2X Loan.
3.2. Ledn may from time to time impose a limit, in its sole and absolute discretion, on the maximum permitted amount of Selected Cryptocurrency for a Buy Order (the "B2X Cap").
3.3. Once generated, the Buy Quote may be accepted during the Buy Acceptance Window by clicking the ‘Place B2X Order’ button on the B2X Product Page and completing the Buy Order Steps. If you complete the Buy Order Steps outside of the Buy Acceptance Window, we may, at our discretion: (i) accept and complete your Buy Order pursuant to the Buy Quote; (ii) refuse to complete your Buy Order; or (iii) accept and complete your Buy Order pursuant to an updated Buy Quote which shall be agreed to between you and us.
3.4. We reserve the right to refuse your Buy Order at any time and for any reason and a binding transaction shall only be deemed to have occurred when we have accepted your Buy Order, in our sole discretion, based on the terms of the Buy Quote and subject to Section 3.5.
3.5. We reserve the right to rescind a Completed Order within twenty-four (24) hours of the Time of Acceptance if Ledn deems, in our sole and absolute discretion, that the order was based on a mistake or manifest error, including an error related to a Buy Quote, or a System Error.
3.6. You acknowledge and agree that Ledn will charge certain fees pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.
-
Obtaining a B2X Loan to Complete the Buy Order
4.1. By placing a Buy Order, you agree to obtain a B2X Loan, which B2X Loan will be governed by our Ledn Loan terms and conditions as set out in the Loan Agreement.
4.2. The B2X Loan shall be denominated in the Denomination Currency as specified in the Buy Quote.
4.3. You hereby acknowledge, agree and understand that:
(a) the B2X Loan Proceeds shall be used to automatically purchase the B2X Cryptocurrency pursuant to your Buy Order in accordance with the provisions of these Terms; and
(b) the B2X Cryptocurrency (together with the Selected Cryptocurrency) will be held as collateral for the B2X Loan in accordance with the Loan Agreement until your B2X Loan is repaid, and for greater certainty, the B2X Cryptocurrency shall be deemed to form part of the "Collateral" under the Loan Agreement.
-
Closing your B2X Loan
5.1. You may repay your B2X Loan at any time without penalty in accordance with the Loan Agreement. You may view the total amount of outstanding Indebtedness under the B2X Loan at any time on your B2X Account Page, which represents the amount that you must remit to us in order to close your B2X Loan and have the B2X Collateral released to you.
5.2. You may choose to repay your B2X Loan in one of two ways:
(a) With money in the Denomination Currency (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of the B2X Loan or such other currency in accordance with the Loan Agreement; or
(b) by placing a Sell Order with us to sell part of your B2X Collateral in accordance with the further provisions of these Terms.
5.3. Upon closing your B2X Loan, you will be required to provide the details for the wallet address(es) to which you wish to transfer your Returned B2X Collateral. In the event that the details which you provide are inaccurate, incomplete or misleading, your cryptocurrency may be permanently lost, and we will not be liable for any loss that results from inaccurate, incomplete or misleading details that you may provide for such transfer. If the wallet address(es) which you specify is one to which we are unable to process transfers, we will have no liability for any failure or delay in processing your requested transfer(s).
5.4. You will be responsible for any blockchain transaction (miner) fees charged by third parties in connection with any transfers, and any such fees shall be deducted from the amount of Returned B2X Collateral which shall be transferred to you.
5.5. Ledn reserves the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to withhold or delay the transfer of any Returned B2X Collateral if, in Ledn’s good faith belief, such restriction is reasonably necessary to comply with Ledn’s anti-money laundering programs and policies, any requirements under Applicable Law, to prevent fraud, prevent suspicious transactions, or for any other security reasons.
-
Placing a Sell Order for your B2X Collateral
6.1. If you wish to repay your B2X Loan by selling part of your B2X Collateral, you may contact a Ledn representative to obtain a Sell Quote.
6.2. The Sell Quote may be accepted by you in writing during the Sell Acceptance Window. If you accept the Sell Quote outside of the Sell Acceptance Window, we may, at our discretion: (i) accept and complete your Sell Order pursuant to the Sell Quote; (ii) refuse to complete your Sell Order; or (iii) accept and complete your Sell Order pursuant to the updated Sell Quote which shall be agreed to between you and us.
6.3. You hereby acknowledge, agree and understand that by accepting a Sell Quote and placing a Sell Order, the Sell Order Proceeds shall be used to automatically repay the B2X Loan.
6.4. We reserve the right to refuse your Sell Order at any time and for any reason and a binding transaction shall only be deemed to have occurred when we have accepted your Sell Order, in our sole discretion, based on the terms of the Sell Quote or an updated Sell Quote and subject to Section 6.5.
6.5. We reserve the right to rescind a Completed Order within twenty-four (24) hours of the Time of Acceptance if Ledn deems, in our sole and absolute discretion, that the order was based on a mistake or manifest error, including an error related to a Sell Quote, or a System Error.

Your Representations and Warranties
7.1. As a material inducement to us providing you with B2X services, you hereby acknowledge and agree that we are relying on all your representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments pursuant to the Loan Agreement, which shall be deemed to be made continuously while you hold a B2X Loan.
-
Risk Disclosure
8.1. You acknowledge and agree that you shall access and use the B2X service at your own risk. The risk of loss related to the B2X service is substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether our B2X service is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources.
8.2. You should only use the B2X service if you have a sophisticated knowledge and understanding of digital assets and cryptocurrencies.
8.3. You are subject to certain liquidation risks. Your B2X Loan is secured by the B2X Collateral. A decline in the value of the Eligible Cryptocurrency means a decline in the value of the collateral supporting your B2X Loan, and, as a result, we can take action, including selling part of the B2X Collateral, in order to maintain the required collateral support pursuant to these Terms and the terms of the Loan Agreement.
8.4. You may sustain a total loss of your B2X Collateral, and, in some cases, it is possible that you may incur losses beyond your B2X Collateral. If the value of Eligible Cryptocurrency deteriorates markedly, you may be called upon by us to provide a substantial amount of additional collateral on short notice in order to maintain your B2X Loan. If you do not provide the required collateral within the time required by us, your B2X collateral may be liquidated at a loss, and in some cases you may be liable for a resulting deficit.

You agree that the Acceptable Forum is convenient to you and submit to the jurisdiction of the Acceptable Forum and waive any and all objections to jurisdiction or venue. Should such proceeding be initiated in any other forum, you waive any right to oppose any motion or application made by Ledn to dismiss, stay or transfer such proceeding to the Acceptable Forum. A final judgement in any such action or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or in any other manner specified by law and shall not be re-litigated on the merits.
