The Services are limited to providing technological access and interfaces with third-party protocols and partners.

3.    Information regarding the Terms and Conditions

Function of the Terms and Conditions

The general terms and conditions (the "Terms and Conditions") constitute the sole document governing Byzantine's contractual relationship with the Client and define:

• The terms of use of the Services,
• The respective obligations of the parties.

Location of the Terms and Conditions

The Client can find them via a direct link at the bottom of the Platform page as well as Byzantine's website: https://www.byzantine.fi/ (the "Website").

Acceptance of the Terms and Conditions

The Client accepts the Terms and Conditions by ticking a box on the registration form.  If the Client does not accept all Terms and Conditions, they cannot access the Services.

The Terms and Conditions may be supplemented by special conditions which, in the event of contradiction, shall prevail over the Terms and Conditions.

4.    Conditions of access to Services

(i) The Client is:

• A natural person with full legal capacity
• Or a legal entity acting through a natural person with the power or authority required to enter into a contract in the Client's name and on their behalf.

(ii) The Client is:

• A consumer, understood as any natural person who acts for purposes that do not fall within the scope of their professional activity,
• Or a professional, understood as any natural person or legal entity acting for purposes within the scope of their commercial, industrial, artisanal, liberal or agricultural activity, including when acting in the name of or on behalf of another professional.

5.    Subscription and access to Services

The Client can access the Services by going directly to the Platform. To access the Services the Client must fill in the form on the Platform and complete the mandatory KYC/KYB/AML process or be registered on one of the third-party websites listed on the Platform and use the login details of the selected third-party website. The Client expressly authorizes Byzantine to access their account data on the relevant third-party website for the sole purpose of providing the Services.

The Client must provide Byzantine with all information marked as mandatory, warrant that such information is accurate, complete and up to date, and immediately inform Byzantine of any change. In particular, the Client undertakes not to provide any false, misleading, incomplete or fraudulent information. Failure to comply with these obligations may result in suspension or termination of the Services.

Registration automatically opens an account in the Client’s name (the "Account") enabling the Client to access the Services using their login and password. The Client is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their login credentials and for all activities carried out through their Account.

6.    Description of the Services

Services

Before subscribing, the Client acknowledges that they can find out about the characteristics of the Services and their constraints, including technical, legal, and financial constraints, and the risks inherent in the use of digital assets, in particular the risk of partial or total loss of the invested assets, in particularly technical constraints, on the Platform.  

The Client acknowledges that the implementation of the Services requires a connection to the Internet and that the quality of the Services depends on this connection, for which Byzantine is not responsible.

The Services to which the Client has subscribed are described on the Platform.

In particular, the Client have access to a decentralized digital credit product:

• Decentralized: the investment vehicle is a smart contract vault, i.e., a strategy executed automatically for the Client.
• Digital: based on digital assets. The investment is made in stablecoins rather than traditional fiat currencies. Stablecoins are digital assets backed 1:1 by euros or dollars, so they always correspond to the value of fiat currencies.
• Credit: investments are made through recognized lending and borrowing protocols such as Morpho, Aave, Maker, and Compound.

Specifically, the Platform allows Clients to select the product in which they wish to invest, finalize their investment, and initiate a withdrawal of their assets at any time.

Byzantine does not guarantee the performance, profitability, value conservation or liquidity of any investment made via the Platform. The Client remains solely responsible for their investment decisions and acknowledges that past performance of the protocols mentioned is not indicative of future results.

Byzantine reserves the right to offer any other Service.

Additional Services

• Maintenance

For the duration of the Services, the Client benefits from maintenance, in particular corrective and ongoing maintenance. In this context, access to the Platform may be limited or suspended.

Byzantine makes every effort to provide the Client with corrective maintenance to correct any malfunction or bug found on the Platform.

The Client also benefits from ongoing maintenance, which Byzantine may carry out automatically and without prior notice, and which includes improvements to the Platform's functionalities, the addition of new functionalities and/or technical installations used within the framework of the Platform (aiming to introduce minor or major extensions).

Updates are made for the duration of these Services.

The Client must agree to install any necessary updates so that the Services remain compliant, i.e. so that the Services can continue to be used in accordance with what has been agreed between the parties and what the Client expected when subscribing

Access to the Platform may also be limited or suspended for planned maintenance purposes, which may include the corrective and ongoing maintenance operations referred to above.

• Hosting

Byzantine uses its best efforts to host the Platform, as well as the data entered on the Platform, on its servers or via a professional hosting service provider, and on servers located in a territory of the European Union.

• Technical support

In the event of any difficulty encountered while using our Services, the Client may contact Byzantine using contact details provided in article "Byzantine’s information".

Technical support service is available from Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays, from 8 am to 6 pm. Depending on the need identified, Byzantine will estimate the response time and inform the Client accordingly.

7.    Duration of the Services

The Client subscribes to the Services for an indefinite period.

Byzantine may terminate the Services at any time with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. The Client may unsubscribe at any time in accordance with Article “End of Services.”

8.    Financial terms

Investment via the Platform

Via the Platform, the Client can:

• Select the product in which they wish to invest,
• Invest via their own wallets or via a wallet created for them with the Partner Custodian on the platform, optionally directly from their bank account (Byzantine offers integrated on-ramp and off-ramp conversion services through a conversion partner—converting fiat currencies into stablecoins and vice versa).

Below is an illustration of the on-ramping process.

• Initiate withdrawal of their assets at any time, subject to the technical and liquidity constraints of the underlying protocols and partners.

Byzantine never holds Client investment. Byzantine is solely a technical service provider—we develop the interface and connect partners' systems.

The Client acknowledges that their investment does not constitute a transfer of money to Byzantine, but rather a transfer of digital assets to the Byzantine Prime smart contract vault, over which Byzantine has no operational control.

Byzantine does not define the investment strategy but collaborates with Keyrock Asset Management, who acts as strategy manager and is regulated by the AMF.

The Client expressly acknowledges and accepts that: (i) investments in digital assets carry significant risks, including the risk of partial or total loss of invested assets; (ii) past performance of the referenced protocols is not indicative of future performance; and (iii) Byzantine does not provide financial advice, investment recommendations or guarantees of return, value conservation or liquidity.

Price of Services

Byzantine receives a commission on the Client's returns on investments made through the Services. The exact figure is clearly indicated on the Platform.

If an exchange rate is applied, exchange charges applicable on the date of payment of the price shall be borne by the Client. Where applicable, the Client is solely responsible for the payment of all bank charges relating to the payment of prices, with the exception of Byzantine's bank charges.

Byzantine’s prices may be revised at any time under the conditions of the article "Modification of the Terms and Conditions”.

The commission shall remain due even in the event of negative performance or loss of part or all of the invested capital, and Byzantine shall not be required to refund any amount already collected.

Invoicing and payment terms

Byzantine send the Client an invoice relating to the collection of its commission by any useful means.

The Client expressly authorizes Byzantine to deduct the commission directly from the returns generated through the Platform before any distribution to the Client. Invoices will be made available electronically.

9.    Risks and No Guarantee of Investment Performance

The Client expressly acknowledges and accepts that investments in digital assets are highly speculative and involve significant risks, including but not limited to partial or total loss of the invested capital, high volatility, liquidity constraints, protocol or smart contract failures, cyber-attacks, and regulatory changes. Byzantine provides no guarantee as to the preservation of capital, achievement of expected returns, or liquidity of the assets. Past performance of third-party protocols or strategies is not indicative of future results. The Client remains solely responsible for all investment decisions taken through the Platform and must ensure that they have the necessary knowledge and risk tolerance before subscribing to the Services.

10.    Right of withdrawal

The Client as a consumer has a right of withdrawal.

If the Client is a professional, the Client has a right of withdrawal if they (i) are a professional with 5 or fewer employees, (ii) are purchasing a good or service that does not fall within their main field of activity (i.e. does not directly or remotely relate to the Services) and (iii) have concluded the Services "off-premises", i.e.:

• In a place, other from Byzantine’s premises, where Byzantine’s personnel and the Client were physically present together and at the same time,
• At the Client’s premises or by means of a remote communication technique, immediately after Byzantine has personally and individually approached the Client (i) at a location other than Byzantine's premises and (ii) where Byzantine and the Client were physically present together at the same time (e.g. meeting at the Client's premises or at a trade fair, delivery of a quotation on this occasion, followed by signature by the Client at Byzantine's premises (by hand or online subscription)),
• During an excursion organised by Byzantine to promote the Services.

This right of withdrawal is valid for 14 calendar days from acceptance of the Terms and Conditions. The Client can exercise this right free of charge by sending to Byzantine before the end of this period to the address mentioned in article "Byzantine’s informations":

• The completed withdrawal form available in Appendix 1, or
• Any other unambiguous statement expressing the Client’s wish to withdraw.

If the Client requests that the Services begin prior to the expiry of the withdrawal period, by ticking the appropriate box on the form, they will only be liable for the price of the Services calculated on a pro rata basis for the Services provided up to the date on which Byzantine was informed of the Client’s wish to withdraw.

11.    Legal warranty of conformity

Consumers are entitled to invoke the legal guarantee of conformity if a lack of conformity appears during the contractual relationship between the parties. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity, and not the date of its appearance.

The legal warranty of conformity entails the obligation to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the digital content or service for the duration of the contractual relationship between the parties.

The legal warranty of conformity entitles the consumer to have the digital content or service brought into conformity without undue delay following his request, at no cost and with no major inconvenience to him.

The consumer may obtain a reduction in price by keeping the digital content or service, or he may terminate the contract by obtaining a full refund in exchange for renouncing the digital content or service, if :

• The professional refuses to bring the digital content or service into compliance,
• The compliance of the digital content or service is unjustifiably delayed,
• The digital content or service cannot be brought into conformity without incurring costs for the consumer,
• Bringing the digital content or service into conformity causes major inconvenience to the consumer,
• The non-conformity of the digital content or service persists despite the professional's unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity.

The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in price or rescission of the contract where the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify an immediate reduction in price or rescission of the contract. In such cases, the consumer is not obliged to ask for the digital content or service to be brought into conformity beforehand.

In cases where the lack of conformity is minor, the consumer is entitled to cancel the contract only if the contract does not provide for payment of a price.

Any period during which the digital content or digital service is unavailable for the purpose of restoring conformity suspends the warranty that remained in force until the digital content or digital service was supplied in conformity again.

These rights result from the application of articles L. 224-25-1 to L. 224-25-31 of the French Consumer Code.

Any professional who obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in bad faith is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of average annual sales (article L. 242-18-1 of the French Consumer Code).

Consumers are also covered by the legal warranty for hidden defects under articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This guarantee entitles the Client to a price reduction if the digital content or service is retained, or to a full refund in exchange for relinquishing the digital content or service.

12.    Intellectual property rights

The Platform is Byzantine’s property, as are Byzantine’s software, infrastructures, databases and content of any kind (texts, images, visuals, music, logos, brands, etc.). They are protected by all intellectual property rights or database producers' rights in force. The license granted to the Client does not entail any transfer of ownership.

The Client is granted a non-exclusive, personal and non-transferable license to use the Platform in SaaS mode for the duration specified in the article "Duration of the Services".

13.    Commercial references

The parties may use their respective names, brands, and logos, and refer to their respective platforms, as commercial references, for the duration of their contractual relationship and 3 years thereafter.

14.    Client’s obligations and liability

Proof may be established by any means.

The Client is hereby informed that messages exchanged via the Platform as well as data collected on the Platform and Byzantine’s computer equipment constitute the main accepted mode of proof, in particular to demonstrate the reality of the Services performed and the calculation of their price.

18.    Personal data processing

General provisions

As part of their contractual relations, each Party shall undertake to comply with the applicable regulations on personal data processing and, in particular, the General Data Protection Regulation (regulation EU 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016) and to the French Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978 (hereinafter referred together as the “Applicable Regulation”).

Each Party processes personal data of contact person of the other Party involved in the performance of the Contract, as controller within the meaning of the Applicable Regulation for the purpose of managing the contractual relations between the Parties and for the duration of the Contract. These processing are carried out for the execution of the Contract and only identification data (in particular surname, first name, email address, telephone number) are processed by the Parties.

Personal data are retained during the duration strictly necessary for the purposes of managing the business relationship between Parties. The staff of the Party controller of the processing, its control services (notably auditor) and its processors could have access to personal data.

The processing may result in the exercise by each Party’s contact person of their rights under the Applicable Regulation.

Processing of personal data by Byzantine as a processor

The purpose of this clause is to define the conditions under which Byzantine undertakes to carry out, on Client’s behalf, the personal data processing operations defined below.

As part of the Services, Byzantine processes personal data in the name and on behalf of the Client as a data processor, while the Client acts as a data controller within the meaning of the Applicable Regulation. The characteristics of the processing are described in Appendix 2 of this document.

Byzantine's obligations with respect to the Client:

• Data processing: Byzantine undertakes to process the personal data only for the purposes listed in Appendix 2 and in accordance with the Client’s documented instructions, including with regard to transfers of data outside the European Union. Where Byzantine considers that an instruction infringes the Applicable Regulation, he shall immediately inform the Client thereof. Byzantine reserves the right to suspend processing until the Client modifies the instruction in question so that it no longer violates the Applicable Regulation, without incurring any contractual liability as a result of such suspension. This suspension shall not give rise to any refund of the price of the Services for the period of suspension. If the Client does not modify but maintains the instruction in question, Byzantine reserves the right to terminate the Services immediately and without charge. Moreover, if Byzantine shall process personal data and transfer them to a third country or an international organization, according to the applicable legislation of this Services, he shall inform the Client of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest.
• Security and data confidentiality: Byzantine undertakes to implement the appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security and integrity of personal data, their backup and the restoration of their availability in the event of a physical or technical incident. Byzantine ensures that the persons authorized to process the personal data hereunder have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality. ‍
• Sub-processors: Byzantine is authorized to recruit the entities (hereinafter "the Sub-Processor") listed in Appendix 2 to carry out processing activities. Byzantine shall inform the Client, in writing beforehand, of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of Sub-Processors as listed. This information must clearly indicate which processing activities are concerned, the name and contact details of the Sub-Processor. The Client has a period of fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of receipt of this information to submit its legitimate and justifiable objections. In the absence of notification of objections after this period, the Client shall be deemed to have authorized the use of the relevant Sub-Processor. In the event of Client's continuing objections, the Parties shall meet in good faith and use their best efforts to discuss a resolution. Byzantine may choose to (i) not hire the Sub-Processor or (ii) take the corrective action requested by the Client in connection with the objections before hiring the Sub-Processor. If neither option is reasonably possible, and if Byzantine cannot for legitimate reasons hire another processor for the intended processing, either Party may terminate this Services upon a thirty (30) days' notice.
  
  The Sub-Processor shall comply with the obligations hereunder on behalf of and in accordance with the Client’s instructions. Byzantine shall ensure that the Sub-Processor provides the same sufficient warranties regarding the implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures so that the processing meets the requirements of the Applicable Regulation. If the Sub-Processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations, Byzantine remains fully liable to the Client for the Sub-Processor’s performance of its obligations.
• Transfer of personal data outside the European Union: Byzantine is authorized to transfer personal data processed as part of this Services to countries located outside the European Union, if appropriate safeguards have been implemented as defined under Chapter V of GDPR.‍
• Assistance and provision of information: Byzantine undertakes to assist the Client and to respond without undue delay to any request for information sent by the Client, whether in the context of a request for the exercise of their rights by data subjects, a privacy impact assessment, or a request made by a supervisory authority or the Client's data protection officer.
• Exercise of data subject’s Rights: Insofar as this is possible, Byzantine shall assist the Client in fulfilling its obligation to respond to requests made to Byzantine by data subjects to exercise their rights under the Applicable Regulation. Where requests are made directly to Byzantine, Byzantine shall (i) promptly send such requests to the Client by e-mail to the address provided by the Client, and (ii) acknowledge receipt of requests, informing the data subjects that their requests have been transferred to the Client, as the data controller.‍
• Notification of personal data breach: Byzantine shall notify the Client of any personal data breach relating to the processing operations covered by this Services, without undue delay after becoming aware of it and to provide the Client with all relevant information and documentation relating to such personal data breach.
• Fate of the data: Byzantine undertakes, at the Client's election, to delete the personal data at the end of the Services or to return it to the Client and not to keep a copy of it, unless required by the Applicable Regulation. The Client has one (1) month from the end of the Services to exercise this choice. After this period, Byzantine shall delete all personal data.
• Subsequent use of personal data by Byzantine: The Client hereby authorizes Byzantine to process the personal data collected within the framework of the services (in particular the session and navigation data) for the purpose of improving Byzantine's services, and in particular for the realization of statistics on the way Byzantine’s solution is used by the users. Byzantine will act as a data controller within the meaning of the Applicable Regulation and will respect the legal provisions of the aforesaid regulation.
• Documentation: Byzantine shall make available to the Client, at the Client's request, all information and documents necessary to demonstrate compliance with its obligations and allow for audits. The Client may carry out audits once a year, at its own expense to verify Byzantine's compliance with the obligations set forth in this article. The Client will inform Byzantine of the audit at least two (2) weeks before. Byzantine may refuse the identity of the auditor if it belongs to a competing company. The audit shall be conducted during work hours and with the least possible disturbance for Byzantine’s activity. The audit shall not threaten (i) technical and organizational security measures implemented by Byzantine, (ii) security and confidentiality of data of Byzantine’s other customers, (iii) the proper functioning and organization of Byzantine. When possible, Parties will agree beforehand on the scope of the audit. The audit report will be sent to Byzantine as so to submit comments, which will be attached to the final version of the audit report. Each audit report will be considered as a confidential information.

Client's obligations with respect to Byzantine:

• To provide Byzantine with the personal data mentioned in Appendix 2, except any improper, disproportionate or unnecessary personal data, and except any “particular” personal data within the meaning of the Applicable Regulation, except if the processing activities justify it. In this case, the Client will have to document these justifications and to take all measures, notably of prior information, to collect appropriate consent and appropriate security measures, appropriate for such particular data;
• To collect under its liability, lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner the personal data provided to Byzantine, for the performance of its services, and in particular, to ensure the lawfulness of processing and the information due to data subjects;
• To maintain a record of processing activities carried out and more generally, comply with the principles of the Applicable Regulation;
• To ensure, before and throughout the processing, compliance with the obligations set out in the Applicable Regulation.

19.    Force majeure

Byzantine shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its contractual obligations due to force majeure occurring during the term of its relationship with the Client as defined in article 1218 of the French Civil Code.

If Byzantine is prevented from fulfilling its obligations due to force majeure, it must inform the Client by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. Obligations will be suspended on receipt of the letter and must be resumed within a reasonable time once the force majeure has ceased.

Byzantine nevertheless remains bound by the performance of obligations not affected by force majeure.

20.    End of Services

The Client may end their use of the Services directly and free of charge, via the dedicated function on the Platform.

Termination is effective immediately and will be realized as soon as possible.

Byzantine may delete any Account if it has remained inactive and without active deposit for a continuous period of more than 24 months.

21.    Sanctions in the event of breach

The following are material obligations to the Client (the "Material Obligations"):

• Payment of the commission,
• Not to provide Byzantine with incorrect or incomplete information,

• Notify any competent authority, cooperate with it and provide it with any information that may be useful in investigating and punishing illegal or illicit activities,
• Take any legal action.

These sanctions are without prejudice to any damages that Byzantine may claim from the Client.

In the event of a breach of any obligation other than a Material Obligation, Byzantine will request the Client by any useful written means to remedy the breach within a maximum period of 15 calendar days. Services will be terminated at the end of this period if the breach is not remedied.

Termination of Services entails deletion of the Client's Account.

22.    Modification of Terms and Conditions

Modified Terms and Conditions are applicable as soon as they come into force.

If the Client does not accept these modifications, they are free to withdraw their assets and end their use of the Services in accordance with article "End of Services".
