Such funds are deposited in a designated account or accounts opened with a payment service provider for the purpose of holding Client funds, in accordance with applicable regulations and internal Client asset protection rules.
The Company maintains an up-to-date internal record that enables the determination of the amount of each individual Client's funds at any time, as well as the reconciliation of the books and the balances of the accounts in which Client funds are held.
Client funds are held on a pooled basis. Clients are clearly informed of this through these Terms and are warned of the meaning and risks of such pooled holding, which are described in detail in the Custody Policy available on the Platform. By accepting these Terms, the Client confirms that they have been informed of this method of holding funds and gives explicit consent for their funds to be held on a pooled basis, without the opening of a separate bank account in the Client's name.

The Company is not liable for the non-execution or delayed execution of a payment instruction if the instruction was submitted incorrectly or incompletely, or if execution of the instruction has not been authorised or has been deferred by a third party over which the Company has no control.

CRYPTO-ASSET TRANSACTIONS
The minimum amount for purchasing, selling, and exchanging crypto-assets depends on the asset type and the blockchain network used.
For the purchase, sale, and exchange of crypto-assets, an order becomes final and irrevocable at the moment the Client confirms the order on the Platform or in the Mobile Application, or when the Company receives and confirms the Client's order at a Branch provided that all conditions for execution have been met in advance and that the Client has been shown a final transaction summary prior to confirming the order. A transaction is deemed to have been executed when the Company records the corresponding amounts in the Client's Account and, where applicable, takes the action required for settlement, including initiating the corresponding blockchain transaction.
By displaying the exchange rate, the quantity of crypto-assets, and the total transaction amount in the final summary, the Company makes an offer to the Client to conclude an exchange agreement. The offer is binding on the Company exclusively for the duration of the exchange rate validity period defined below. The Client accepts the offer by confirming the order on the Platform or in the Mobile Application, or by verbal or written confirmation of the order at Branches. At the moment of acceptance of the offer, the exchange agreement is deemed to have been concluded and the order becomes final and irrevocable, provided that all conditions for its execution have been fulfilled.
The exchange rate displayed in the final transaction summary is fixed and binding on the Company for a period of 60 (sixty) seconds from the moment it is displayed to the Client (exchange rate validity period). This applies to all types of exchange provided by the Company, including: purchase of cryptoassets for fiat currency (EUR), sale of crypto-assets for fiat currency (EUR), and exchange of one crypto-asset for another.
The exchange rate ceases to be binding even before the expiry of the validity period if the market deviation from the displayed rate exceeds 1% in either direction. In that case, as well as upon expiry of the validity period, the exchange rate is automatically refreshed and the Client is shown a new final transaction summary with the then-current terms.
If the Client does not confirm the order within the exchange rate validity period, the offer is deemed to have been declined and no obligations arise for either the Client or the Company. The Client may initiate a new order at any time.
Purchases of crypto-assets with fiat currency can be made by:
- cash transaction at a Branch;
- non-cash transaction at a Branch;
- using fiat currency available in the Account.
Sales of crypto-assets for fiat currency can be made by:
- cash transaction at a Branch;
- non-cash transaction at a Branch;
- non-cash transaction to the Account.
Crypto-asset exchange is a process in which the Client exchanges one crypto-asset for another at current market rates, without first converting to fiat currency, thereby reducing transaction costs and time.
- Exchanges can be made via a non-cash transaction through the Account.
The minimum exchange amount is the equivalent of EUR 0.01 in the relevant crypto-asset, as determined by the current market rate.
Transfers of crypto-assets
The agreement for the crypto-asset transfer service on behalf of the Client is concluded upon acceptance of these Terms. The service provider is the Company, and the Client's identity is established through the verification process described in the ACCOUNT chapter.
The crypto-asset transfer service encompasses the transfer of crypto-assets from the Client's Account to another address, or from an external address to the Client's Account, exclusively on the Client's instruction, via the corresponding blockchain network. Supported blockchain networks and minimum transfer amounts depend on the type of crypto-asset and are visible to the Client during the order submission process.
In providing the transfer service, the Company applies the technical and organisational security measures described in the SECURITY MEASURES chapter of these Terms.
The fee for the transfer service is determined in accordance with the Crypto-Asset and Services Pricing Policy available on the Platform and is visible to the Client prior to confirming the transfer order.

Crypto-asset transfers are irreversible. The Company cannot cancel or recall a transfer sent to an incorrect deposit address.
Note: network withdrawal fees apply for transfers to personal digital wallets and are shown during the process.
Transfer speed depends on the blockchain network(s) used, their congestion, and the type of digital wallets involved. The Company is not liable for any delays.
After the execution of a crypto-asset transfer, the Company provides the Client with an electronic confirmation containing at least: the names of the sender and recipient, the distributed ledger addresses of the sender and recipient, the transfer reference, the type and amount of crypto-assets transferred, the date of execution, and the amount of all fees applied. You must keep your email address accurate and promptly notify the Company of any change.
CUSTODY SERVICE
The agreement for the crypto-asset custody and administration service on behalf of the Client is concluded upon acceptance of these Terms. The service provider is the Company, and the Client's identity is established through the verification process described in the ACCOUNT chapter. The Company's Crypto-Asset Custody Policy, available to Clients in electronic form on the Platform and in the Mobile Application, forms an integral part of that contractual relationship.
The Company provides the crypto-asset custody and administration service on behalf of the Client, within the scope of its authorised Services and in accordance with applicable regulations. Within the scope of this Service, the Company stores the Client's crypto-assets or the means of access to such crypto-assets, maintains the corresponding records of the Client's rights, and undertakes custody-related actions exclusively in accordance with the applicable contractual relationship, the Client's instructions, the Company's internal rules and controls, and applicable regulations.
The custody service may encompass: the safekeeping of private cryptographic keys or other credentials required for the disposal of crypto-assets; the execution of transfers in accordance with duly submitted Client instructions; the implementation of controls aimed at protecting crypto-assets from loss, theft, unauthorised access, or misuse; and the provision of information to the Client regarding the status of and changes to assets held in custody. The Company is authorised to apply appropriate security, operational, identification, and compliance measures, including the temporary deferral or refusal of a particular action, where this is necessary for the protection of the Client or the Company or for the fulfilment of legal and regulatory obligations, in particular in the area of AML/CFT, sanctions, and the prevention of unauthorised disposal of assets.
For the purpose of providing the custody service, the Company may use third parties (sub-custodians) for the storage of Client crypto-assets. The Company currently uses Bitstamp Europe S.A. (Luxembourg) as the primary sub-custodian and Payward Europe Digital Asset Services d.o.o. (Kraken, Dublin, Ireland) as the reserve sub-custodian. The Company will notify Clients by email of any change in the use of sub-custodians at least 15 days prior to the commencement of use of the services of a new subcustodian, except in urgent operational circumstances, in which case notification will be provided without delay. An up-to-date list of sub-custodians is available on the Platform.
Communication between the Company and the Client in relation to the custody service takes place through the channels described in the GENERAL PROVISIONS chapter. Access to the Account and the disposal of crypto-assets are protected by an authentication system that includes multi-factor authentication.
In providing the custody service, the Company applies the technical and organisational security measures described in the SECURITY MEASURES chapter of these Terms.
Fees for the custody service are determined in accordance with the Crypto-Asset and Services Pricing Policy available on the Platform and on the Company's website: https://www.bitstore.net/en/fees/.
The agreement for the crypto-asset custody service is governed by MiCA and other applicable EU and Croatian regulations.
The Company provides the Client with a statement of position the crypto-assets held on their behalf at least once every three months and upon the Client's request. The statement is delivered electronically and contains details of the type of crypto-asset, the balance and value, and transfers executed during the relevant period. The Company notifies the Client without delay of all operations relating to the cryptoassets that require a response from the Client.
The Company is liable to the Client for the loss of crypto-assets or the means of access to crypto-assets resulting from an incident caused by an act or omission of the Company. The Company's liability is limited to the market value of the lost crypto-assets at the time the loss occurred. The Company is not liable for losses resulting from events that arise independently of the provision of the Service or independently of the Company's operations, including issues inherent in the functioning of distributed ledger technology over which the Company has no control.
The Company may hold Client crypto-assets on a pooled basis exclusively with the Client's prior explicit consent. By accepting these Terms, the Client gives consent for the pooled holding of cryptoassets.
USE OF THE ACCOUNT
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Account credentials (password, email address) and for restricting access to your mobile device and/or personal computer; you are responsible for all activities under your Account. While the Account is active and verified, you may manage fiat currency and trade crypto-assets; if the Account is not active (not verified), you may only withdraw your funds.
Upon the Company's request, you agree to provide documented proof of the source of funds and source of wealth. There are several important reasons why the Company requires evidence that funds originate from legitimate sources: to protect Clients and their funds from fraud and to prevent any potential connection to unlawful activities. In addition, the Company is required to comply with applicable AML/CFT laws and regulations.
The Company may request additional information and/or documentation in line with applicable legislation, supervisory rules, and internal policies and procedures.
ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS
The Company may temporarily disable disposal of funds in the Account at the Account holder's request, in the event of the Client's death, or based on a court order or other decision/instruction of a competent authority. Where possible, the Company will notify the Client by phone and/or email before imposing the restriction; if that is not possible, it will do so immediately after. The Company is not obliged to notify the Client if doing so would be contrary to justified security reasons or the law.
REFUSAL OF SERVICE AND/OR ACCOUNT CLOSURE
The Company may refuse a transaction, the establishment of a business relationship, and/or close an Account for any reason, including but not limited to:
- doubts regarding the truthfulness of information, documents or other documentation provided;
- suspicion of money laundering, terrorist financing, or any other unlawful activity;
- if required by a competent authority;
- if required by mandatory regulations, laws, supervisory recommendations, or conventions;
- failure to provide the requested additional information or documentation;
- failure to notify the Company of material changes to data required under applicable law;
- damaging the Company's reputation in any way;
- breaching these Terms or related policies and any other Company terms and policies.
You may close the Account at any time via the Account settings on the Platform.
The Company may temporarily prohibit or defer Account closure where necessary for the purpose of:
- complying with a legal obligation or an instruction of a competent authority;
- preventing money laundering, terrorist financing, and carrying out sanctions screening;
- completing pending, unexecuted transactions;
- resolving open disputes, complaints, chargeback proceedings, or refunds;
- recovering outstanding amounts owed by the Client to the Company.
Upon receipt of a duly submitted request from the Client and the fulfilment of all conditions set out in these Terms, the Company's obligations upon Account closure include:
- verifying whether there are any unexecuted orders, open proceedings, security restrictions, or regulatory impediments to Account closure;
- enabling the transfer or withdrawal of the Client's remaining assets in the manner permitted by these Terms and applicable regulations;
- recording the termination of the business relationship and Account closure in its systems;
- providing the Client, upon request or where applicable, with a confirmation of Account closure;
- retaining and storing documentation relating to the business relationship and Account closure for the periods prescribed by applicable regulations.
The Client's obligations upon Account closure:

- providing any additionally requested documentation for the purpose of regulatory compliance.
Note: once closed, the Account cannot be reactivated.
An Account is considered inactive if the Client has not executed any transaction within a period of 24 months. The Company will notify the Client by email of the upcoming deactivation 21, 14, and 7 days prior to the deactivation date.
If the Client holds funds or crypto-assets in their Account, the Company will invite the Client in the notification to transfer them to an external account or wallet prior to the deactivation date. If the Client holds no funds or crypto-assets, the notification serves solely as information regarding the upcoming deactivation.
The Client may prevent deactivation by logging in to the Platform before the deactivation date. Assets held in a deactivated Account remain protected and accessible; the Client may contact the Company at any time to request withdrawal or transfer of funds.
SEF TOKEN
Clients may use the SEF token to pay fees on the Platform, whereby holding a certain quantity of SEF tokens may be a condition for obtaining a discount on fees. In addition, the SEF token serves as a substitute crypto-asset in situations where the Company, due to the removal of a particular crypto-asset from an external liquidity source or the discontinuation of the last required trading pair, can no longer support that crypto-asset in its offering. The rules and conditions governing the listing and delisting of crypto-assets are set out in the Crypto-Asset Listing and Delisting Policy, published together with these Terms and available on the Platform.
Delisting procedure and automatic conversion to SEF
If a partner trading platform removes a particular crypto-asset or discontinues the last supported trading pair used by the Company for that crypto-asset, the Company is no longer able to ensure the necessary liquidity and orderly execution of transactions and is therefore required to remove the relevant crypto-asset from its offering. Such removal is not a discretionary measure aimed at restricting Client rights, but an operational consequence and compliance measure arising from the cessation of availability of the appropriate market liquidity source.
Prior to removing a crypto-asset from its offering, the Company notifies Clients one to three days before the planned removal. During this period, the Client may:
- independently convert the relevant crypto-asset into EUR or another supported crypto-asset;
- transfer the relevant crypto-asset to an external wallet outside the Platform.
If the Client does not take any of the aforementioned actions within the period allowed, upon its expiry the remaining balance of the relevant crypto-asset in the Client's Account is automatically converted into SEF. Automatic conversion does not mean a loss of the Client's assets, but the substitution of the delisted crypto-asset with a substitute crypto-asset within the Company's system, in circumstances where the Company can no longer objectively provide services relating to that crypto-asset.
The quantity of SEF tokens credited to the Client is determined by the amount obtained from the sale of the delisted crypto-asset at the time of execution and by the value of the SEF token at the time of its purchase. The standard Company fee in accordance with the applicable price list at the time of conversion shall apply.
Client's rights in relation to the SEF token
Following the automatic conversion, the Client may use the SEF tokens acquired in the following ways:
- holding the SEF in the Account;
- using them to pay fees on the Platform;
- converting them into EUR or another supported crypto-asset;
- transferring the SEF to a wallet of their choice, within the Platform or to an external wallet.
SEF tokens held by the Client in the Account constitute the Client's assets and are subject to all provisions of these Terms relating to custody and protection of Client assets. By accepting these Terms, the Client gives their explicit and irrevocable consent that, if they do not take any of the aforementioned actions within the period allowed, the remaining balance of the delisted crypto-asset will be automatically converted into SEF tokens.
FEES AND EXCHANGE RATES
The Company does not charge fees for opening or closing an Account.
Fees for the custody service and crypto-asset transfer service, the price of the Service, the applicable exchange rate, and margins are determined in accordance with the Crypto-Asset and Services Pricing Policy, publicly available. The reference price of crypto-assets is formed from relevant market liquidity sources, and the applicable buy/sell exchange rate is calculated by applying a margin to the reference price.
Margins for Clients are variable and depend on the type of asset, liquidity, volatility, payment method, and associated costs.
Crypto-assets may be purchased, sold, or exchanged only at the quoted buy or sell rate. The Company will clearly display the exact amount you must pay when placing an order.
Prior to confirming an order, you will be shown the final transaction amount and the applicable exchange rate, which includes all fees.
The current price of crypto-assets on the Platform is displayed at the mid-market rate; during the actual purchase/sale flow you will see the current buy or sell rate.
The displayed rate includes the Company's margin, which varies between 0.5% and 6%, depending on the liquidity of the crypto-asset.
For sales of crypto-assets, proceeds are paid out in EUR only. Non-cash rates are more favourable than cash rates; cash rates are visible at Branches and update in real time. In Branches, you can also obtain the non-cash rate if you indicate you wish to deposit or withdraw by bank transfer.
By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge that rates are updated every second and may change when placing an order due to global market movements. The Company is not liable for rate changes or for transfers executed at the time of a rate change.
POWER OF ATTORNEY
You may authorise another person to dispose of funds in your Account; the power of attorney must be notarised (and apostilled/legalised as applicable) and delivered to the Company.
It must not be older than one month. You are solely responsible for the actions of your authorised representative; the Company has no obligation to inform you of their actions and is not liable if the authorised representative breaches these Terms.
The power of attorney ceases upon the Company's receipt of a statement or confirmation of revocation, upon Account closure, or upon receipt of a statement or confirmation of the death of the Client or the authorised representative.
Personal data collected during verification are not automatically deleted upon Account closure. See the Privacy Policy for details.
RISK
Risk warning: transactions in crypto-assets carry a high level of risk and may result in the partial or complete loss of the value of invested assets. The Client acknowledges that the following risks are particularly relevant: price volatility risk, liquidity risk, technological and blockchain risk, operational risk, cyber risk, regulatory and legal risk, currency and tax risk, and the risk of transaction irreversibility. The Client is required to carefully assess, prior to using the Services, whether such transactions are appropriate given their knowledge, experience, financial position, and risk tolerance. Where applicable under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, the Company will make available to the Client links to the relevant crypto-asset white papers.
By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge that trading in crypto-assets involves the following risks:
- Market risk – the value of crypto-assets may rise or fall rapidly, including the possibility of a total loss of value.
- Volatility and price slippage risk – the price at the time of order confirmation may differ from the price at the time of execution.
- Liquidity risk – for certain tokens it may be difficult or impossible to execute a transaction at the expected price.
- Regulatory and legal risk – changes to laws, secondary legislation, tax rules and regulatory requirements may affect the availability of Services and the value of assets.
- Operational risk – technical failures, system outages, third-party errors, and extraordinary events.
- Technological and blockchain risk – network congestion, confirmation delays, hard forks, protocol changes, and increased network fees.
- Cyber risk – phishing, malware, and unauthorised access to the Account.
- Transaction irreversibility risk – blockchain transactions are generally irreversible. An incorrectly entered address or network may result in permanent loss of funds.
- Third-party risk – dependence on banks, card schemes, infrastructure providers, token issuers, and other partners.
- Currency risk – additional costs and differences arising from conversion between currencies.
- Tax risk – tax treatment depends on the Client's country of residence and individual circumstances.
You confirm that the Company does not provide investment advice, does not guarantee returns or the stability of the value of investments, and is not liable for the consequences of your investment decisions.
The Company holds Client funds in a pooled account. By accepting these Terms, you confirm that you are aware of this and are warned of the following risks: in the event of the Company's insolvency, your funds may not be unambiguously distinguishable from those of other Clients, which may complicate or delay their return. The Company may hold Client crypto-assets on a pooled basis exclusively with the Client's prior explicit consent. By accepting these Terms, you give consent for the pooled holding of crypto-assets and acknowledge the following risks: the risk of asset segregation in the event of insolvency, operational risk, the risk of record-keeping errors, and the risk that a loss suffered by one Client may affect the assets of others in the pooled wallet.
Where Client crypto-assets or funds are stored with third parties (sub-custodians), you are exposed to additional risks, including the operational risk of the third party, the risk of limited or delayed access to assets, and the risk of insolvency or other difficulties affecting the third party.
The Company is responsible for the diligent and careful selection of sub-custodians and for ongoing monitoring of their adequacy. The Company is not liable for Client losses arising solely as a consequence of a sub-custodian's insolvency, provided that the Company acted with due professional care in the selection and monitoring of the sub-custodian.
REFERRAL PROGRAMME
Eligibility
By sharing a Unique Link to earn a Referral Programme Reward, the Referrer is deemed to have accepted these Terms. If they disagree, they must not use or benefit from the Programme.
A Referred Client may be a natural person. A person who is already registered before receiving a Unique Link cannot be considered a Referred Client.
How to participate
The Referrer sends their Unique Link to the Referred Client. After the Referred Client opens an Account and completes a transaction, the Referrer receives 20% of the Company's revenue from that transaction and from all future transactions of that Referred Client. Rewards may be earned for two years from the Referred Client's Account opening; the number of referrals is unlimited.
The Referrer earns the reward when the Referred Client completes a cash transaction at a Branch or an online transaction via the Platform. Rewards are credited to the Referrer's Account within 24 hours of the Referred Client's successful transaction.
If multiple Unique Links are received, the last clicked link used to register will apply. The Unique Link is intended as a personal, non-commercial invitation. Referrers can track accrued rewards in their Account.
Restrictions
The Company reserves the right to deny participation to a Referrer or Referred Client in cases of suspected fraud, manipulation, abuse of the Programme rules, or technical errors, and bears no liability towards the Referrer or others for such actions. By accepting these Terms, the Referrer undertakes not to:
- engage in offensive, misleading, or non-compliant activities;
- use the Unique Link or the Bitcoin Store name in a negative or offensive context.
In case of violations, the Company may:
- close the Referrer's Account;
- refuse verification of the Referred Client's Account;
- remove the Unique Link and mark all related referrals as ineligible for rewards;
- withhold or cancel accrued or already paid rewards;
- review and investigate Programme activities as deemed necessary.
Changes to the Referral Programme
The Company may cancel, discontinue, or amend the Programme at any time without prior notice, including:
- changing Programme criteria;
- changing rewards;
- changing participation conditions;
amending the Terms due to fraud risk, market conditions, or other reasons.
