Non-Disclosure Release – Aury Private Crypto Brokerage

Release from Non-Disclosure

These digital assets risk disclosure (hereinafter the “Risk Disclosure”) provides a general overview of certain risks associated with Digital Assets (as defined in the General Terms and Conditions, hereinafter the “GTC“) in connection with the services provided by Aury Crypto Ltd. (hereinafter “Aury”) to the client (hereinafter the “Client”). This Risk Disclosure shall form an integral part of the relationship between the Client and Aury.

These provisions for the release from non-disclosure duties in connection with transactions and services in payment, financial market and foreign currency transactions (hereinafter “Release from Non-Disclosure”) shall form an integral part of the relationship between the client (hereinafter “Client”) and Aury. Additional information may be found in the Swiss Bankers Association (SBA) “Information on the Disclosure of Client Data and Other Information in International Payment Transactions and Investments in Foreign Securities”.

Art. 1 - Release from Aury-client confidentiality and other confidentiality obligations

Against the background of the initial situation described above and in addition to art. 25 et. seqq. of the General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter the “GTC”), the Client hereby releases Aury, its governing bodies, employees and agents from the confidentiality obligations incumbent upon them on the basis of data protection, Aury-client confidentiality and other regulations and hereby expressly waives Aury-client confidentiality in transactions and services which Aury provides for the Client (e.g., payment transactions, purchases, deposits and deliveries, staking, brokerage, safekeeping and sale of securities and/or deposit items, deposits/transfers of registered shares, foreign exchange and precious metals transactions, derivatives/OTC transactions), in particular if these transactions have a foreign element.

In connection therewith, Aury is both entitled and mandated by the Client to disclose to third parties in Switzerland and abroad that are involved in these transactions and services (e.g., stock exchanges, brokers, Aurys, trade repositories, shareholder registers, digital asset service providers, settlement and third-party custodians, issuers, authorities or their representatives, as well as other third parties involved) so that the transactions or services can be provided to the Client.

Disclosures to authorities and their representatives abroad are made in accordance with Swiss law in each case.

Art. 2 - Purpose of the release from Aury-client confidentiality and other confidentiality obligations

The Client agrees and accepts that the disclosure pursuant to art. 1 may be necessary to enable Aury, on a case-by-case basis or in general, to carry out or provide the transactions or services in question or, in general, to comply with laws, rules and regulations, contractual provisions and business practices or compliance standards that may be relevant in connection with the said transactions and services in a country or in dealing with third parties involved.

Disclosures to authorities and their representatives abroad are made in accordance with Swiss law in each case.

In particular, such disclosure may be made for the following purposes:

a) outsourcing as set out in the GTC;

b) to enter into or perform Aury’s contractual obligations and provide services to the Client, in particular where there is a connection to a foreign jurisdiction (e.g., for crypto compliance, payment transactions, purchases, receipt, delivery and sale of financial instruments, exercise of rights of the Client, or custody services), and where disclosure is required under applicable laws and regulation, contractual obligations, business practices and compliance standards, including disclosure of Client Data (as defined in the GTC) to third parties involved in a transaction or service;

c) with respect to Digital Asset wallet addresses, where transactions require the wallet addresses to become part of a blockchain and thus publicly accessible, and where this is necessary for Aury to provide blockchain-related services (including chain analysis, staking services and Digital Asset trading);

d) to exchange Client Data with affiliates, group companies and branches of Aury in Switzerland or abroad;

e) to comply with legal and regulatory obligations such as local reporting and notification obligations or in connection with locally applicable shareholding limits or regulations associated with shareholdings;

f) to safeguard legitimate interests of Aury (e.g., to enforce claims, carry out or participate in investigations, realize collateral, defend against legal proceedings, safeguard its reputation);

g) to follow the requirements of the local licenses;

h) because this is required in the context of registrations (e.g., registration of transactions or securities);

i) because compliance standards of involved third parties may require the proactive disclosure of relevant information or may trigger queries to Aury (e.g., due to monitoring systems in place), especially in the context of combating money laundering, terrorist financing or corruption, as well as with regard to sanctions or politically exposed persons (PEPs).

If the Client withdraws consent, Aury is not required to perform any such transactions and services.

The Client shall ensure that third parties related to the Client are aware that their personal data may be disclosed for these purposes.

Art. 3 - Data concerned

The Client acknowledges that data whose disclosure may be required in connection with transactions and services may vary from case to case and may include, in particular, the following data:

information about the Client, authorized representatives and beneficial owners and other parties involved (e.g., name, registered office, domicile, address, nationality of these persons);
information about the transactions or services involved (e.g., purpose, economic background, and other background information about the transactions and services as well as Aury details and wallet addresses); and
information about the Client’s business relationship with Aury (e.g., scope, status, purpose, historical data, other transactions performed under this business relationship).

Aury may at any time request further information or documentation from the Client if this is necessary for the processing of the relevant transactions.

Art. 4 - Type and time of disclosure

The Client expressly agrees that the information may be disclosed in any way. This includes, in particular, the disclosure via telecommunication (including electronic data transmission and blockchain), but also the physical transmission of documents (e.g., passport copies). Disclosure may be required before, during or after execution of a transaction or service.

Art. 5 - Recipient of the transmitted information

Involved third parties that are possible recipients of information are, for example, stock exchanges, brokers, Aurys (in particular, correspondent Aurys), trade repositories, shareholder registers, settlement and third-party custodians, issuers, public authorities or their representatives, digital asset service providers, and other companies involved in the transactions or services in Switzerland and abroad. It is possible that such third parties may transmit information received to additional entities. This is, for example, because they commission their own processing centres with the processing.

Information that needs to be published on a blockchain (e.g., when making transactions or as part of staking) will become publicly accessible and thus completely out of Aury’s sphere of influence. Any liability of Aury in this regard is excluded.

The Client is aware that the disclosure of the data may result in foreign authorities or companies demanding further information from the persons concerned on the basis of local law. Any liability of Aury in this regard is excluded.

Art. 6 - Data security at home and abroad

The Client expressly acknowledges that data and information made available by Aury to a recipient of information abroad in the context of a disclosure within the meaning of these provisions are no longer subject to the protection of banking secrecy guaranteed by Swiss law. Furthermore, the data and information may end up in countries that ensure less extensive data protection than Switzerland.

Art. 7 - Exclusion of Liability

All risks of any (potential) losses and/or damages in connection with the disclosure of data subject to this Release of Non-Disclosure shall be exclusively borne by the Client.

Art. 8 - Severability

If at any time any provision of this Release from Non- Disclosure is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the applicable law, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Release from Non- Disclosure will in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Art. 9 - Amendments to this release agreement

Aury may amend this Release from Non- Disclosure at any time and the Client will be notified about the modifications and/or amendments within a reasonable period of time in advance and by suitable means.

In the absence of any objection by the Client in writing within 30 days of the date of the notification, such modifications and/or amendments shall be deemed to be accepted by the Client and shall be effective and binding upon the Client and Aury.
