1. The Platform and Terms of Service.
Welcome to the iTrustCapital Platform, which is provided by ITC 2.0, Inc. (hereafter “we,” “us,” “our”, and “iTrustCapital” and our successors, affiliates, assignees). The Platform is a technology interface and set of solutions providing users with technology and automated tools that enable users to have access to third party custodial services and engage in Self-Directed Transactions involving cryptocurrencies, precious metals, other digital assets and other potential alternative assets, including but not limited to real estate in real-time through their individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), and to receive other associated financial services from third parties. The term “Platform” includes the iTrustCapital Platform and all services, features, technologies, and/or functionalities offered by iTrustCapital (collectively, the “Services”), which may be accessed through our internet website, a mobile application supplied by us, or other means designated by us, and also includes all software, data and databases, content and hardware associated with the foregoing, but excludes the Third Party Services (defined below) and the third party platforms through which those services are provided to you by third parties. “You” and “your” means the person to whom Credentials (defined below) are issued and who is authorized to access the Platform and use the Services as provided in these Terms of Service.
These Terms of Service are a binding contract between you and iTrustCapital, which governs your access to and use of the Platform and the Services we provide. You agree to comply with all terms and conditions in these Terms of Service, which we may amend from time to time. These Terms of Service also incorporate by reference additional terms of which we may from time to time notify you by posting them on the Platform. By accessing the Platform, you agree to be bound by and comply with these Terms of Service, including to pay any fees we may charge from time to time for use of the Services. If there is a conflict between these Terms of Service and any other agreement you may have with us, or any document or statement made to you concerning the Platform or Services, these Terms of Service will govern with respect to the Platform and the Services. If we amend these Terms of Service in any material respect, we will provide reasonable notice to you, which you agree may include posting the updated Terms of Service on the Platform, and such changes, unless otherwise stated shall become effective immediately upon us providing notice. If we must implement a change to address the security of the Platform or other imminent harm, such change can be implemented without prior notice. The updated version of these Terms of Service supersedes all prior versions and upon issuance will govern the Platform and Services. Your continued access to the Platform and/or Services after the update will be deemed acceptance of the updated terms and you will be bound by it. If you do not agree with the terms of any update, you must immediately cease all access to the Platform and use of the Services. Your termination of these Terms of Service does not affect any of our rights or your obligations arising under these Terms of Service prior to such termination.
Your privacy is very important to us. All personal information that is provided by you to, or otherwise collected by, the Platform will be held, processed and stored in accordance with iTrustCapital’s Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”). By accessing the Platform and using the Services, you consent to our collection and use of personal data as outlined therein. Please carefully review iTrustCapital’s Privacy Policy for more information.
2. Third Party Services.
You will have access to services provided by third parties (collectively, the “Third Party Services”), including IRA custodial services, transactions in digital assets, precious metals and other financial services. Any Self-Directed Transactions in which you engage will not be with iTrustCapital, but will be directly with such third parties. In order to access and use certain Third Party Services that are accessible through the Platform, you may be required to enter into a separate agreement with the provider (“Third Party Agreement”) of the Third Party Services (the “Third Party Services Provider”). For example, IRA custodial and financial services are provided to you directly by the custodial services provider designated in our sole discretion, to support customers of the Platform (the “Qualified Custodian”), on the Third Party Agreement between you and the Third Party Service Provider(s). We reserve the right to designate which Qualified Custodians you may access via the Platform. You are responsible for ensuring any Third Party Agreement(s) allows you to assign the Third Party Agreement(s) to another Third Party Service Provider and/or Qualified Custodian that we may designate and/or terminate that Third Party Agreement at will and without prior notice as we may change Qualified Custodians at any time. You hereby acknowledge that the Third Party Services are provided by such third parties, and not iTrustCapital , through third party platforms which are not owned or controlled by us.
3. Access to the Services.
Eligibility: To use the Services you must be an individual of at least 18 years of age, have a U.S. bank account, and reside in the United States or one of its territories. Use of certain Services may have further eligibility requirements that will need to be verified prior to you using such Services or from time to time in order to continue your use of the Services. Certain features of the Services may be limited depending on the state in which you reside, the date on which you created your Account or other factors.
Access: You may access the Platform and Services solely through the online portal, mobile app or other means authorized by us from time to time.
Your Registration Obligations: You are required to register on the Platform to access and use certain features of the Services. Your acceptance of the Consent to Receive Electronic Disclosures (“E-sign Disclosure and Consent”) is required to create an account on the Platform (“Account”). You also must open an IRA account and enter into an associated IRA agreement with the Qualified Custodian. If you choose to register for the Services, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Services’ registration form. If any of this information changes, it is your obligation to provide updated information as soon as possible. You are responsible for providing iTrustCapital with a correct and operational email address. You must notify iTrustCapital of any change to your email or postal mailing address, or if you are unable to access Account information through our Platform. You agree we may, but are not obligated to, provide the Qualified Custodians with this updated information. iTrustCapital will not be liable for any adverse effects as a result of undelivered mail or email or your inability to access Account information through the Platform due to a failure to promptly notify us of a change to your email or postal mailing address. iTrustCapital is not responsible for any costs you incur to maintain internet access or an email account. From time to time, we may also require you to provide further information as a condition for continued use of the Services. We reserve the right to maintain your Account registration information after you close your Account for business and regulatory compliance purposes.
Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account: To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions, including our custodial services provider, to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an Account. What this means for you: On behalf of the Qualified Custodian(s) that provide Services accessed through the Platform, when you open an Account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents. You authorize us to share this information with the Qualified Custodian(s), and for the Qualified Custodian(s) to use such personal identifiable information to verify your identity, including to conduct searches of public records, credit agencies, law enforcement agencies, state/federal court records and other such databases to the extent necessary to confirm your identity and for other regulatory compliance purposes. You authorize the Qualified Custodian(s) to share the results of any such search along with any collected personal identifiable information with iTrustCapital in connection with your Account.
Account, Password and Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login ID, password, multi-factor identification codes and any other credentials relating to your Account (“Credentials”). You should not share your Credentials with any other person, and you are fully responsible for any and all communications and activities relating to the Platform conducted using your Credentials. You agree to: (i) immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of or access to your Credentials or Account, or any other breach of security, and (ii) ensure that you exit from your Account at the end of each session when accessing the Services. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section or take reasonable measures to protect access to your Account.
4. Pricing, Valuation and Self-Directed Transactions
Self-Directed Transactions: Once you have set up and funded your IRA with the Qualified Custodian, you may engage in Self-Directed Transactions in accordance with the terms of the Third Party Agreement(s) and the IRA Agreement or other agreement entered into with the Qualified Custodian.
Storage: Digital Currencies are stored by the Qualified Custodian using an institutional cryptocurrency storage wallet provider(s), and precious metals are physically held at the Royal Canadian Mint with ownership managed via a secure blockchain distributed ledger.
Acknowledgements: You acknowledge and agree that:
iTrustCapital is not a broker-dealer, investment advisor or an exchange of any kind and does not engage in any activity requiring such registrations. This means that the assets available for Self-Directed Transactions via the iTrustCapital Platform will vary based on the assets that are made available by the Qualified Custodian for purchase and custody at any given time by such third-party vendors;
Pricing Information and Portfolio Valuation: iTrustCapital is not a liquidity provider and does not make a market in any digital, virtual, or cryptocurrency or any other assets (as those terms are customarily understood in the financial services industry), such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, EOS, or any cryptocurrency (“Digital Currency”) on its Platform. Pricing data (and resulting portfolio valuation and performance data) displayed on the Platform are provided by or based on information provided by one or more exchanges or “liquidity providers”, and may be delayed or otherwise not up to date, may be incorrect, and there is no guarantee that any amount of Digital Currency can be purchased or liquidated for the price indicated at the time an order is placed. No price is guaranteed until the transaction is settled by the exchange or liquidity provider settling the transaction. Valuation and performance data is inclusive of liquidity provider transaction fees, where applicable, and iTrustCapital transaction fees are displayed separately as well as combined into a total cost, where applicable. iTrustCapital will make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that transaction history information, including associated portfolio holdings, are all displayed on the Platform, but iTrustCapital does not guarantee the accuracy of such information. All pricing and other information (including portfolio valuation and performance data) on the Platform is provided on an “as is” basis for your personal information only, no representations are made as to the accuracy of such information, and you agree not to rely upon such information for any purpose. iTrustCapital (i) expressly disclaims the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of any pricing or valuation, or performance data displayed and (ii) is not liable for any errors, omissions, or other defects in, delays or interruptions in such data, or for any actions taken in reliance thereon. iTrustCapital is not liable for any damages relating to your use of the information provided on the Platform. In the event that an erroneous transaction occurs, it is the sole responsibility of the user to inform iTrustCapital and the Qualified Custodian within a reasonable time that the error occurred. Failure to report any erroneous transaction (eg, debits or credits to the account) and any unauthorized transactions initiated by the account holder using said funds, regardless of gains or losses incurred, may result in legal action which may, where applicable, include criminal charges.
Refund and Cancellation: You may cancel your Account at any time if your Account value is zero US dollars ($0.00) or after transferring out any Account balance if your Account value is greater than zero US dollars ($0.00). To transfer an Account balance and/or to cancel your Account, notify our support team via email at [email protected]. Canceling your Account will also terminate your accounts with the Third Party Service Providers.
5. Referral Program
Selected Accounts are eligible to participate in our Referral Program and are governed by additional terms and conditions which can be found at https://itrustcapital.com/referral-program-terms. By participating in the Referral Program, you agree and consent to these additional terms and conditions. If you do not agree to the additional terms or would like to opt-out of the Referral Program, please contact us at [email protected].
6. Account
Adding Assets to Your Account: If we have not verified the required identifying information that you have provided to us, you cannot add assets to your Account. If we have verified the required identifying information that you provide to us, you will be assigned an IRA number and Account by the Qualified Custodian.
iTrustCapital does not provide under this Agreement, and the Platform and Services do not include, any custodial services. All assets held in an Account opened through iTrustCapital are maintained by the Qualified Custodian, whose services are provided solely by the Qualified Custodian (and not iTrustCapital) and governed by a separate agreement between you and the Qualified Custodian. You acknowledge and agree that: you are required to enter into a separate custodial services agreement with the Qualified Custodian and that iTrustCapital is not a party to that agreement or responsible for the services provided thereunder; that the Qualified Custodian is a separate and independent legal entity, and may be a third party or may be an affiliate of iTrustCapital; and that, from time to time, , iTrustCapital determines which Qualified Custodian(s) are available to you through the platform. iTrustCapital, may remove current Qualified Custodian(s) and/or designate an alternative Qualified Custodian for you or the Platform, including your assets, in which case your agreement with a Qualified Custodian may be assigned to such new Qualified Custodian so long as iTrustCapital acts as agent for such Qualified Custodian, or you may be required to enter into a new agreement with the alternative Qualified Custodian. You agree you are appointing iTrustCapital to act as your limited agent to direct a Qualified Custodian to transfer your assets to another Qualified Custodian, of iTrustCapital’s choosing, and that in doing so, iTrustCapital is NOT acting as a fiduciary. The iTrustCapital Platform and related services are provided subject to your acceptance of and continuing compliance with the Qualified Custodian’s terms and conditions of service. You agree we may instruct current Qualified Custodian to transfer your assets to the new Qualified Custodian prior to you entering any required Third Party Provider Agreements. If you do not agree to the new or amended Third Party Provider Agreement upon receipt, you may close your Account.
Types of Retirement Accounts: There are several types of retirement accounts, each of which is subject to various rules. We recommend you speak with your accountant and/or financial advisor regarding which type of retirement account to open. Your IRA can be funded by transferring funds or allowed assets in-kind from the custodian of your existing retirement account or with cash via wire transfer. Funding an IRA with a credit card is prohibited. We recommend that you consult with your tax and financial advisors regarding allowable contribution limits for tax advantaged accounts. iTrustCapital is not responsible for advising you of any funding limits or for any consequences of you overfunding your Account. You understand and acknowledge that if pre-tax funds are contributed to a ROTH IRA such as funds from a traditional IRA or 401(k) account, this may trigger a taxable event and you are responsible to report the conversion to the IRS when filing your income taxes. You further acknowledge that there is a $75 conversion fee for any such transaction, which may either be charged by credit card provided or deducted directly from the user’s account.
Transferring Assets out of Your Account: The balance in your Account may be transferred out of your Account by manually transferring it to a bank account linked to your Account or transferring it to a separate IRA platform or custodian. We recommend that you consult with your tax and financial advisors regarding distributions from IRAs as you may incur penalties or tax consequences. We reserve the right to create minimum transfer-out amounts for your Account at any time and from time to time and will notify you of these minimums if they exceed $5 per Account; this means that a remaining Account balance of less than $5 will not be returned to you. iTrustCapital is not responsible for advising you of any consequences related to distributing funds or assets from your Account.
In-Kind Withdrawals: You may choose to take Qualified or Non-Qualified Distributions from your Individual Retirement accounts at a time of your choosing. Distributions may be taken in USD or in-kind in any of the assets available on the Platform. Distributions are handled through the Qualified Custodian. Precious Metal distributions are handled directly through Kitco. iTC 2.0 and the Qualified Custodian reserves the right to not permit an in-kind distribution at any time for any reason. If an asset is not permitted to be distributed in-kind, you will be provided the option to liquidate the asset to USD to facilitate the withdrawal. iTrustCapital reserves the right to charge you for in-kind distributions if the current US Dollar value of your digital asset does not exceed the network fee charged for the transfer of funds. In the event this occurs, iTrustCapital would charge you the applicable Network fee. For example, if you have $0.50 worth of a digital asset, but the Network fee to move this amount on the digital asset’s network is $2.00 at the time of distribution, iTrustCapital reserves the right to charge you up to $2.00 to complete the transaction.
Bank Transfer Reviews: We review account and transaction activity at various times, including when transfers are initiated. This review checks for, among other things, suspicious or illegal activity, and whether your Account activity and the activity of users with whom you’ve transacted comply with these Terms of Service. In connection with our review process, you may be required to provide us with additional information and/or documentation to verify your identity. We may limit your Account and your access to money in it or that is sent to you until verification is completed. Reviews may result in: (i) delayed, blocked, or canceled transfers; (ii) money being held by us; (iii) money or payments being applied to amounts you owe to us or used to offset loss incurred by us; (iv) Account limitation, suspension, or termination; (v) money or payments being seized to comply with a court order, warrant or other legal process; and/or (vi) money or payments you previously received being reversed (i.e., sent back to the sender or to the card or bank account that was used to fund the payment). Among other reasons, we may take these actions if you knowingly or unknowingly were a participant in a payment that was made from a stolen card, compromised bank account, or compromised Account, or if you were a participant in a transaction for goods and services.
Account Statements: You may view your Account statement by logging into your Account on the Platform. If you would like to receive a paper copy by mail, please email [email protected]
Transaction Limits: We reserve the right to change the deposit, withdrawal, storage, and velocity limits on your Account as we deem necessary. We may establish individual or aggregate transaction limits on the dollar amount or number of deposits or withdrawals you make during any specified time period.
ACH: Through the Qualified Custodian, you can add funds to your Account via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”). All funds are contributed directly to your IRA and clients can’t transact until the ACH transferred funds are deposited into their Account; iTrustCapital does not receive or hold user funds (or other assets). If the ACH funds are received from your current financial institution and deposited into your Account with iTrustCapital, but are then recalled by your financial institution for any reason, iTrustCapital reserves the following rights: : (1) to freeze your Account, and (2) to close your Account if funds are insufficient and not replenished within the five (5) days from the date of the initial attempted ACH transfer. No distribution, transfer-out, or withdrawal requests for funds deposited in your Account via ACH can be made until we have verified deposit of said funds into your Account and ninety (90) days have passed since the contribution was initiated (the "Charge-Back Period”). The Qualified Custodian reserves the right to extend the Charge-Back Period to one hundred twenty (120) days.
iTC 2.0 and the Qualified Custodian will make every effort to, but is not responsible for, ensuring that you can successfully connect your financial banking or credit institution to the ACH funding widget. If you are unable to utilize the ACH funding feature, a check or wire will have to be used in lieu of an ACH.
You are obligated to adhere to funding instructions during the funding process. You are responsible for ensuring that your current custodian adheres to the funding instructions provided by iTrustCaptial and the Qualified Custodian, including, but not limited to, Account / Beneficiary Name, Funding Amount, Memo, and Payable To designations.
Conditional Transactions: Conditional transactions execute as market orders when a specified asset reaches the conditional price set by the client. iTrustCapital’s proprietary software monitors the asset price, and when the conditional price is detected, notifies the Qualified Custodian’s liquidity providers to execute a market order. The liquidity providers execute and fulfill the transaction(s) at the best possible price, as market conditions allow in real-time. Please keep in mind that conditional transactions execute as market orders, not limit orders. Conditional transactions do not guarantee an execution price.
Accurate Characterization of Inflows: All responsibility affiliated with the re-characterization or correction of an inflow type falls upon you. In the event you believe a deposit is reflecting incorrectly in your Account history, you must report it to iTrustCapital and the Qualified Custodian, in addition to providing any supporting documentation that is requested and/or required.
Erroneous Funding of an Account: In the event that the iTrustCapital Platform inadvertently or erroneously funds an Account due, but not limited to, a software bug, glitch, or human error, it is the sole responsibility of the Account holder to notify iTrustCapital within a reasonable timeframe, not to exceed 30 days. Legal action (which may where applicable include criminal claims) may be taken against you if you fail to report any erroneous funding and/or proceed with any unauthorized transactions with said assets, regardless of gains or losses incurred.
Prohibited Payments: Using the Services to make the following types of payments is prohibited, and we reserve the right to monitor for payments that relate to:
any person listed on the Table of Denial Orders, the Entity List, or the List of Specially Designated Nationals or if you are a resident, national or agent of Cuba, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, or any other country to which the United States embargoes goods;
weapons of any kind, including firearms, ammunition, knives, or related accessories;
controlled substances, including narcotics, prescription drugs, steroids, or related paraphernalia or accessories;
gambling activities, including sports betting, casino games, horse racing, dog racing, lotteries, games of chance, sweepstakes, games of skill that may be classified as gambling (i.e., poker), or other activities that facilitate any of the foregoing;
money-laundering or terrorist financing;
any sort of ponzi scheme, pyramid scheme, or multi-level marketing program;
goods or services that infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, or proprietary rights under the laws of any jurisdiction;
debt settlement, refinance, or credit repair services;
court ordered payments, structured settlements, tax payments, or tax settlements;
the sale of money orders or cashier’s checks or any money transmitter activity;

any other matters which we communicate to you that are unacceptable from time to time and which, for example, may be restricted by our and your bank or payment partners.
In the event that we learn that you are making any such prohibited payments, we may suspend or terminate your Account, including on short notice or without prior notice.
7. Disclosures and Disclaimers
GENERALLY: AS A CONDITION OF USING THE SERVICES, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO REVIEW THE FOLLOWING RISK DISCLOSURES AND DISCLAIMERS. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SERVICES IS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THESE RISKS AND DISCLAIMERS. THIS IS NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF THE RISKS AND DISCLAIMERS. ITRUSTCAPITAL RECOMMENDS THAT YOU SEEK ADVICE FROM YOUR FINANCIAL, LEGAL AND TAX ADVISORS.
You understand and acknowledge as follows:
Role of iTrustCapital: iTrustCapital is not an exchange, funding portal, custodian, trust company, registered or licensed broker, dealer, broker-dealer, investment advisor or investment manager in the United States or elsewhere. All custody, trust and other financial services are provided directly by the Qualified Custodian. iTrustCapital provides a technology interface that provides you the opportunity to engage directly with third parties to use your IRA(s) to engage in Self-Directed Transactions in Digital Currency, and precious metals, and other alternative assets and, if applicable, charges a fee for the Services it provides. iTrustCapital is not a custodian, but as a matter of servicing and onboarding, iTrustCapital, as well as designated third-parties, may act as an administrator in order to facilitate the following, but not limited to:
Client onboarding and client servicing;
New user applications;
Transfer and rollover delivery instructions;
Dashboard and tech-related issues; and
Responding to client requests throughout the lifetime of the Account
No Fiduciary, Broker, or Agency Relationship: iTrustCapital does not contribute to the creation or the expansion of Digital Currency available for sale. iTrustCapital is not an investment specialist, tax specialist, financial planner (certified or otherwise), or retirement advisor, and iTrustCapital does not provide investment advice, tax advice, financial planning services, or retirement planning or retirement-specific advice. No Self-Directed Transaction executed in connection with your Account or the Platform are securities transactions. iTrustCapital is not acting as a fiduciary in respect of you, and does not have any responsibility under the standards governing the conduct of broker-dealers, fiduciaries, investment advisers or investment manager. There is no fiduciary relationship, broker dealer relationship, principal agent relationship or other special relationship between you and iTrustCapital, except as expressly required by law with respect to any affiliated regulated entities such as custodians, in which case such relationship is governed by the agreements with such affiliate. All decisions regarding the Self-Directed Transactions are made by iTrustCapital users.
Not an Investment Advisor: iTrustCapital is not an investment advisor. No communication by iTrustCapital or its employees, agents, or representatives, through the iTrustCapital Platform, by phone or otherwise, should be construed as a recommendation of any offering of assets, securities or other investment. Instructional and informational content and forms at the Platform are for educational and administrative purposes only and are not intended as investment advice. We assume no responsibility for rendering investment advice with respect to self-directed investments in your Account. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure that they receive financial advice from a tax or financial professional. You agree that any information or advice provided by iTrustCapital does not and will not serve as the basis of any investment decision by you.
Financial Sophistication/Risk Tolerance: The iTrustCapital Platform is intended only for users who fully understand and are willing to accept the risks associated with Self-Directed Transactions and the management of Accounts. Engaging in transactions in alternative assets can be very risky, and users must be able to afford to lose their entire investment.
Digital Currency Investment Risk: Digital Currencies are highly speculative investments. Digital Currencies are a relatively new asset, and they are not backed by a sovereign government or nation. Digital Currencies, like fiat currencies in general, are not backed by a physical asset and, with exceptions, have no physical, easily transferable form. Digital Currencies currently depend entirely on the public’s willingness to accept the currency as a medium of exchange, and, unlike the U.S. dollar, there is no legal requirement that any provider of goods or services accept Digital Currencies as legal tender. Further, the regulatory framework is unsettled and evolving, and technological advances and developments in Digital Currency mining, staking, competing alternatives, and other variables that might affect the market for such Digital Currencies are unpredictable.
Risk of Transactions in Precious Metals: Precious metals may be a highly speculative investment. Although such investments are backed by physical assets, they may not be easily transferable, and the value may fluctuate quickly and widely. Precious metals are purchased on an “as is” and “as available” basis without representations, warranties, promises or guarantees of any kind by iTrustCapital.
Diversification: iTrustCapital does not offer any opinion as to which Digital Currency(ies) and/or precious metals to purchase, in what amount, and for how long you should hold such investment. Nor does iTrustCapital offer any opinion as to what percentage, if any, of your portfolio should be devoted to alternative and highly speculative investments.
Past Performance is No Guarantee of Future Returns: Historical performance is no guarantee of future results.
Returns Not Guaranteed: iTrustCapital has not made, nor can it make any guarantee or representation that Digital Currency or any other Self-Directed Transaction made by you will be a profitable investment.
Assumption of the Risk; Decision to Purchase or Sell Is User’s Alone: You assume the risk of all purchase and sale decisions, and all such decisions are based on your own research, prudence, and judgment. iTrustCapital makes no guarantee or representation regarding your ability to profit from any transaction or the tax implications of any transaction.
Holding Digital Currency in an Individual Retirement Account: iTrustCapital recommends that you contact your accountants, attorneys and financial advisors regarding all choices and strategies related to your Self-Directed Transactions. iTrustCapital is not a legal or tax professional and does not provide legal or tax advice. iTrustCapital makes no representation or warranty that purchasing Digital Currency for placement in an IRA complies with government regulations or statutes or that current rules and statutes will not change.
Volatility: The success of a Self-Directed Transaction is dependent in part upon extrinsic economic forces including supply, demand, international monetary conditions, inflation or the expectation of inflation, confidence (or any lack thereof) in the security or technological foundation of the Digital Currency, the emergence of additional alternative currencies, market acceptance, geopolitical events, global tax policies, monetary policies of central banks globally, and an evolving and unpredictable regulatory framework. The impact of these forces on the value of Digital Currencies, or any particular Digital Currency, cannot be predicted. Digital Currency markets can be volatile.
User Diligence: You are responsible for conducting your own due diligence regarding your Self-Directed Transactions and the parties with whom you entrust your funds and do business. Neither iTrustCapital nor any of its directors, officers, stockholders, employees, representatives, affiliates, agents, or advisors have any liability whatsoever arising from or for any error or incompleteness of fact or opinion in, or lack of care in the preparation or publication of, the materials transmitted through or posted on the Platform or through the iTrustCapital Platform. The information on the Platform does not constitute an offer of, nor the solicitation of an offer to buy or subscribe for, any assets (including without limitation securities) to any person in any jurisdiction to whom or in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful.
Airdrops: Third parties may sometimes distribute new or different Digital Currencies to Digital Currency addresses (an “Airdrop”). You agree and understand that an Airdrop does not create or represent a relationship between iTrustCapital and the third party and does not subject us to any obligations whatsoever as they relate to that third party. It is in our sole discretion whether or not we will provide any services or support pertaining to an Airdrop. If we choose to provide Services or support relating to an Airdropped Digital Currency, we are not responsible for any errors or discrepancies between our support or services and any third-party communications regarding the Airdrop, such as from the party or parties launching the Airdrop.
IRA Holdings. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) you may be liable for payment of federal and/or state income tax due on distribution(s) from your IRA, regardless of whether or not you elect to have taxes withheld so you should consult a legal, tax and investment advisor before proceeding; (ii) if your withholding of estimated tax is not adequate, you may be subject to tax penalties underestimated tax payment rule; (iii) your state of residence determines the withholding requirement and is determined by your legal address of record; (iv) failure to state a beneficiary will result in the application of state estate law; (v) non‐Roth IRA distributions will generally be taxed as ordinary income and `may be subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty if taken before age 59½; (vi) distributions from a Roth IRA that are attributable to earnings may be taxed as ordinary income and may be subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty unless certain conditions are met; (vii) distributions made from any SIMPLE IRA prior to age 59½ and within the first two years of participating in an employer’s SIMPLE IRA plan may be subject to a 25% penalty; (viii) if you request the distribution be mailed to an alternative address and/or paid directly to a third party, you agree that you, as the authorized person, are solely responsible for any adverse tax consequences, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless iTrustCapital and the Qualified Custodian from and against all losses, costs, liabilities and expenses that may arise as a result of such actions.
Fees: iTrustCapital, along with the Qualified Custodian, may from time to time, at their sole discretion, enter into agreements with third parties under which iTrustCapital will be paid certain fees. These agreements may be for, but are not limited to, integrated services, transaction execution, regulatory compliance, and other technology services. iTrustCapital and the Qualified Custodian also reserve the right to explore and implement new product features in addition to opportunities of altering the way Account holders are charged for the Services, including transaction fees, monthly fees, rebates, and other administrative product or service-related fees.
Fork Handling: The blockchain made available for your Digital Currencies may be subject to “forks.” Forks occur when some or all persons running the software for a particular blockchain system adopt a new client or a new version. Some forks are “contentious” and thus may result in two or more persistent alternative versions of the protocol or blockchain, either of which may be viewed as or claimed to be the legitimate or genuine continuation of the original. iTrustCapital does not assume any responsibility to notify you of pending, threatened or completed forks. You assume full responsibility to independently remain apprised of and informed about possible forks, and to manage your own interests in connection therewith.
Insurance Risk: Insurance and indemnity is not provided by iTrustCapital for these and other risks associated with the Platform. You are advised to obtain your own insurance coverage.

10. Consent to Receive Communications
To provide you with the best possible service in our ongoing business relationship, we may need to contact you about your Account or the Services from time to time by text messaging, SMS, push notifications, physical mail, and/or email. However, we must first obtain your consent to contact you about your Account or the Services because we must comply with the consumer protection provisions in the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA), CAN-SPAM Act, and their related federal regulations and orders issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Your consent is limited to your Account and the Services, and as authorized by applicable law and regulations. Your consent does not authorize us to contact you for telemarketing purposes (unless you otherwise agreed elsewhere). You certify, warrant, and represent that the telephone numbers that you have provided to us are your contact numbers. You represent that you are permitted to receive calls at each of the telephone numbers you have provided to us. You agree to promptly alert us whenever you stop using a particular telephone number.
With the above understanding, you authorize us to contact you regarding your Account, the Services, and/or marketing and advertising regarding the Services until you terminate your Account using any telephone numbers, email addresses, physical mailing addresses, SMS, or in app push that you have previously provided to us or that you may subsequently provide to us. You agree we, our affiliates, agents, or service providers may contact you in any way, including by email, SMS messages (including text messages) and calls using prerecorded messages or artificial voice at any phone number you have provided to us, including any mobile phone number, as well as any address in our records or in public or nonpublic databases. You understand that you are not required to provide consent to receiving SMS communications as a condition to accessing our Services or products. You may withdraw your consent to SMS communications by replying STOP to the SMS message, or by contacting us at [email protected].
You are responsible for any and all charges, including fees associated with text messaging, imposed by your communications service provider. You also agree to receive alerts about your Account activity, balances, payments, suspicious activities, and other matters involving your use of the Platform or the Services through push notifications to your smartphone or other device. Receipt of push notifications may be delayed or prevented by factors beyond our control, including those affecting your internet/phone provider. We are not liable for losses or damages arising from non-delivery, delayed delivery, or the erroneous delivery of any push notification; inaccurate push notification content; or your use or reliance on the content of any push notification for any purposes. Each push notification may not be encrypted and may include your name and information pertaining to your Account or use of the Platform. We may terminate your use of push notifications at any time without notice. You may choose to discontinue receiving push notifications by updating your preferences on your smartphone or device.
This consent is regardless of whether the number we use to contact you is assigned to a landline, a paging service, a cellular wireless service, a specialized mobile radio service, other radio common carrier service or any other service for which you may be charged for the call. You further authorize us to contact you through the use of voice, voicemail, and text messaging, including the use of pre-recorded or artificial voice messages and an automated dialing device. If necessary, you may change or remove any of the telephone numbers or email addresses at any time using any reasonable means to notify us. To revoke the consent provided pursuant to this subsection, you must send 10 days’ prior written notice of such revocation to [email protected].
We may monitor or record phone calls for security reasons, to maintain a record, and to ensure that you receive courteous and efficient service. You consent in advance to any such recording. We need not remind you of our recording before each phone conversation. We are not required to act upon instructions you give us by voice mail or on a telephone answering machine.
11. Conditions of Use; Restrictions
Account Suspension & Closure: We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, without liability to you or any third party, refuse to let you open an Account, suspend your Account, or terminate your Account or your use of one or more of the Services.

The foregoing is not intended to limit our ability and/or discretion to close your Account. If you have a balance remaining in an Account which has been suspended or closed, you will be able to recover such funds, unless prohibited by law or a court order or where we have determined that such funds were obtained fraudulently. We have full discretion as to the means by which you will receive such funds following our decision to return such funds. We reserve the right to require you to provide further identifying information before processing such withdrawal or transfer requests and to delay or prohibit such withdrawal or transfer if we believe fraudulent or illegal activity has occurred. If you are unable to login to your Account, you will need to contact us at [email protected] to process such withdrawal.

Upon termination of this agreement and your Account, you remain liable for all transactions made while your Account was open.

your physical or electronic signature;
identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;

Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.
Repeat Infringer Policy: In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.
16. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OR EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

This dispute resolution provision (this “Dispute Resolution Provision”) sets forth the terms and conditions for resolution of any dispute, disagreement or claim (including initial claims, counterclaims, crossclaims and third-party claims, in each case whether based upon contract, tort, fraud and other intentional torts, statutes, regulations, common law, and equity) arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services or the Platform, any communications you receive and any products sold or distributed or service provided through or in connection with the Platform, or these Terms of Service (including any prior or amended versions hereof), including the obligations of the Parties under and the interpretation of these Terms of Service and including the validity, enforceability or scope of this Dispute Resolution Provision, whether arising during the term or after termination (each, a “Dispute”). As used in this Dispute Resolution Provision, the terms “we” and “us” will for all purposes mean iTrustCapital, our wholly or majority owned subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees, predecessors, successors, and assigns, and our agents, employees, directors, and representatives. In addition, “we” or “us” will include any third party using or providing any product, service or benefit in connection with the Services (including third parties who use or provide services, debt collectors and all of their agents, employees, directors and representatives) if, and only if, such third party is named as a co-party with us (or files a Claim with or against us) in connection with a Claim asserted by you. As solely used in this Dispute Resolution Provision, the terms “you” or “yours” will mean all persons or entities using the Services.
Complaint Process. If you have a Dispute with iTrustCapital, you agree to first contact us to attempt to resolve any such dispute amicably. If we are unable to resolve the Dispute through the support team, you agree to use and complete the complaint process as set forth below (the “Complaint Process”) before filing any arbitration claim, small claims court action or other proceeding as permitted under this Dispute Resolution Process. If you do not complete the Complaint Process, then you agree that your claim or action must be dismissed from arbitration or small claims court. You shall initiate the Complaint Process by completing and submitting the complaint form, which can be requested from ITrustCapital Customer Support. You should describe your dispute, how you would like us to resolve the complaint, provide your support case number, and any other relevant information. If you prefer to send a written complaint via mail, please send the above information to ITC2.0, Inc., 2372 Morse Ave #966 Irvine, CA 92614.
We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint form after you submit it. An iTrustCapital customer relations agent will review and evaluate your complaint based on the information you have provided and information in the possession of iTrustCapital. The Complaint Process is completed when we respond to your complaint.
Arbitration.
You and iTrustCapital agree that, subject to the Complaint Process described above, every Dispute will be resolved solely by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (1) you and iTrustCapital may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court (provided that any appeals from that court may be pursued only in arbitration); and (2) you or iTrustCapital may seek equitable relief in court to enforce this Dispute Resolution Provision or for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). We agree that neither you nor we will have the right to: (1) have a court or a jury decide the dispute; (2) engage in information-gathering (discovery) to the same extent as in court; (3) participate in a class action in court or in class arbitration; or (4) join or consolidate a claim with claims of any other persons. Arbitration procedures are relatively simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. The decision of the arbitrator is final, non-appealable and binding.
Upon the election by you or us that a Claim be arbitrated, such Claim will be resolved by arbitration pursuant to this Dispute Resolution Provision and the code of procedures of the national arbitration organization to which the Claim is referred in effect at the time the Claim is filed. Claims will be referred to either Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) or the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as selected by the party electing to use arbitration. If a selection by us of one of these organizations is unacceptable to you, you will have the right within 30 days after you receive notice of our election to select the other organization listed to serve as arbitrator administrator. For a copy of the procedures, to file a Claim or for other information about these organizations, contact them as follows: (i) JAMS at 1920 Main Street, Suite 300, Los Angeles, CA 92614; website at www.jamsadr.com; and (ii) AAA at 335 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017; website at www.adr.org.
If either party elects to resolve a Claim by arbitration, that Claim will be arbitrated solely on an individual basis. There is no right or authority for any Claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving Claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, other Account holders or other persons similarly situated. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve Claims is limited to Claims between you and us alone, and the arbitrator’s authority to make awards is limited to you and us alone. NEITHER YOU NOR WE ARE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHERS IN ANY COURT ACTION OR ARBITRATION, OR TO INCLUDE IN ANY COURT ACTION OR ARBITRATION ANY DISPUTE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS, OR TO ACT IN ANY ARBITRATION IN THE INTEREST OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY, UNLESS THOSE PERSONS ARE BENEFICIARIES ON YOUR ACCOUNT. THIS IS SO WHETHER OR NOT THE CLAIM HAS BEEN ASSIGNED. FURTHER, NEITHER YOU NOR WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A CLAIM IN COURT, SUBJECT TO THE SECTION TITLED EXCLUDED CLAIMS, OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON A CLAIM, OR TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE CODE OF PROCEDURES OF JAMS OR AAA.
A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). If you initiate the arbitration, you must provide iTrustCapital a copy of your Request by email at [email protected] or through our registered agent for service of process. The Request must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, email address of the party seeking arbitration, and the email addresses associated with the applicable iTrustCapital Account(s); (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought, including an accurate, good faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Complaint Process as described above in Section 19(b) (if you are the party making the Request); and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration. If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request also shall include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (1) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery
Any arbitration hearing relating to Claims by or against you will take place in the federal judicial district of your residence. At your written request, we will consider in good faith making a temporary advance of all or part of the filing administrative and/or hearing fees for any Claim you initiate as to which you or we seek arbitration. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or requests for relief under $25,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and we submit to the arbitrator. If your claim exceeds $25,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the applicable arbitration rules. Subject to the arbitration rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. In any case, you and we agree that we will not request more than three depositions per side in each arbitration. At the conclusion of the arbitration (or any appeal thereof), the arbitrator (or panel) will decide who will ultimately be responsible for paying the filing, administrative and/or hearing fees in connection with the arbitration (or appeal). If and to the extent you incur filing, administrative and/or hearing fees in arbitration, including for any appeal, exceeding the amount they would have been if the Claim had been brought in the state or federal court which is closest to your billing address and would have had jurisdiction over the Claim, we will reimburse you to that extent unless the arbitrator (or panel) determines that the fees were incurred without any substantial justification.
This Dispute Resolution Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, as it may be amended (the “FAA”). The arbitration will be governed by the applicable Code, except that (to the extent enforceable under the FAA) this Dispute Resolution Provision will control if it is inconsistent with the applicable Code. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and will honor claims of privilege recognized at law and, at the timely request of either party, will provide a brief written explanation of the basis for the decision. In conducting the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator will not apply the Federal or any state rules of civil procedure or rules of evidence. The arbitrator will take reasonable steps to preserve the privacy of individuals, and of business matters. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA.
This Dispute Resolution Provision will survive termination of your Account, your use of the Services, these Terms of Service and any bankruptcy by you or us. If any portion of this Dispute Resolution Provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable under any principle or provision of law or equity, consistent with the FAA, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of this Dispute Resolution Provision, these Terms of Service, or any prior agreement you may have had with us, each of which will be enforceable regardless of such invalidity.
20. Termination
You agree that iTrustCapital, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your Account (or any part thereof) or use of the Services and remove and discard any content within the Services, for any reason, including for lack of use, if iTrustCapital believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service or to stop or mitigate any harm or adverse impact on or the security of the Platform, Services, Services Content, or other users or their user data. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of Services, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. iTrustCapital may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Services, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Services under any provision of these Terms of Service may be affected without prior notice and acknowledge and agree that iTrustCapital may immediately deactivate or delete your Account and all related information and files in your Account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Services. Further, you agree that iTrustCapital will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Services.
21. Assignment
These Terms of Service, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without iTrustCapital’s prior written consent. iTrustCapital may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction.
22. Governing Law
THE TERMS OF SERVICE, THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF AND ANY ACTION RELATED THERETO OR TO THE SERVICES WILL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED BY AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS DOES NOT APPLY TO THESE TERMS.
23. Electronic Communications
Communications between you and iTrustCapital use electronic means, whether made via the Platforms, software or Services or sent via e-mail, or whether iTrustCapital posts notices on the Platforms, software or Services. For contractual purposes, you (1) consent to receive communications from iTrustCapital in an electronic form; and (2) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that iTrustCapital provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing. The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights.
24. User Disputes
You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Services and we will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Services.
25. Severability
If any portion of these Terms of Service is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be construed in a manner to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the parties, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect.
26. General
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and iTrustCapital and govern your use of the Platform and Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and iTrustCapital with respect to the Services; provided, however, that you may also be subject to additional terms and conditions for products or services (other than the Services) provided by iTrustCapital, as applicable. The Qualified Custodian shall be a third-party beneficiary to the Terms of Service and shall be entitled to the rights and benefits hereunder, including the representations, warranties and disclaimers, and may enforce the provisions hereof as if it were a party hereto. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and iTrustCapital agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Delaware. The failure of iTrustCapital to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services, or these Terms of Service must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. As used herein, the term “including” should be read as “including without limitation.” Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail, or through electronic notices posted to your Account in the Platform. We may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Platform.
