7. Services provided
7.1
Once you have opened a Selini Capital Account, you will be able to use the Services. Selini Capital operates a virtual asset trading platform ("OTC Trading Platform") that enables Clients to place Orders and engage in trades through two primary methods:
7.1.1
Request Trade Quotes ("RFQ Trading"). Clients can submit an Order (buy/sell virtual assets for fiat or other virtual assets). Selini Capital traders will provide a quoted price based on the factors set out in Section 8, and the Client may accept the quote to facilitate the trade.
7.1.2
Automated Streaming Price Trading. Clients can view real-time indicative streaming prices and place Orders through the OTC Trading Platform.
7.2
You acknowledge that to access Automated Streaming Price Trading, you must register a pre-whitelisted address with Selini Capital and maintain Pre-Funded Assets in your Account.
7.3
Clients can place an Order on the OTC Trading Platform through an Agreed Communication Channel which includes both the Voice Trading and the Single Dealer Portal. Both methods ensure seamless trade execution while maintaining transparency and efficiency in Order execution.
7.3.1
In Voice Trading, Clients communicate trade requests through a designated chat medium, where Selini Capital accepts and executes orders based on direct client interaction.
7.3.2
The Single Dealer Portal is an electronic platform that facilitates trade execution by streaming indicative prices and the ability to place an Order.
7.4
You acknowledge that Selini Capital does not provide investment, financial, tax, or legal advice. All Orders executed through the OTC Trading Platform are made at the Client's discretion. Clients are solely responsible for evaluating the risks before placing any Orders on the platform.
8. Price Quotes and Fees
8.1
You acknowledge and agree that Selini Capital shall determine the prices in its sole discretion. Selini Capital's quoted prices are inclusive of the source price and internal margin determined solely by Selini Capital. Selini Capital shall communicate the fees to you using any of its Agreed Communication Channels. By way of example we may charge spreads on Orders as set out below:
8.1.1
Principal Spread: Selini Capital may act on a principal basis and will charge a spread by quoting a price above the prevailing mid-market value.
8.1.2
Agency Spread: When Selini Capital executes a transaction on an agency basis, it will add a fixed spread to the final executed price.
8.2
Selini Capital endeavours to provide bid and offer prices that are up to date. Nonetheless, prices are subject to constant change and circumstances may arise where prices provided to you are invalid by the time that an Order is received by Selini Capital in relation to a price request. This may include, but is not limited to, instances where the quality or speed of your connectivity causes delay or market volatility is causing prices to change rapidly. An Order submitted in relation to a price that is no longer valid will be rejected.
8.3
Each Order is priced based on prevailing market conditions and liquidity at the time of execution. The final price applicable to any Order will be determined at the moment of execution and will be displayed prior to order confirmation. We do not guarantee any specific price prior to execution.
9. Execution and routing of Client Orders
9.1
Selini Capital operates in two primary capacities - Principal and Agency.
9.1.1
As Principal, Selini Capital fills Orders from its own account.
9.1.2
As Agent, Selini Capital executes an Order on behalf of its Client and adopts measures to ensure the execution of Client Orders is handled appropriately.
9.2
Selini Capital is committed to fair and transparent order execution. When executing Client Orders, as an Agent, Selini Capital ensures that Client Orders are executed at the best available price, taking into consideration market conditions, order size, speed, market liquidity, volatility, and cost.
9.3
In determining the best execution outcome, Selini Capital considers a range of market and trade-specific factors, including but not limited to:
9.3.1
Market characteristics of the relevant Virtual Asset, including price, spreads, volatility, relative liquidity, and communication constraints.
9.3.2
Order size and type, ensuring that execution aligns with the market depth and trading conditions.
9.3.3
Available liquidity sources, including the number and quality of markets or counterparties reviewed for price discovery.
9.3.4
Execution feasibility, taking into account the accessibility of quotes under current market conditions.
9.3.5
Order terms and conditions, as communicated by the Client prior to execution.
9.4
Selini Capital does not operate a public exchange or order book.
9.5
Conflicts of interest in execution and routing are identified and managed to prevent unfair treatment of clients. Selini Capital does not accept payments or incentives from third parties in exchange for directing client orders to specific venues. Clients will receive a breakdown of fees and commissions retained by Selini Capital before execution. The company regularly reviews order execution quality and adjusts routing practices accordingly.
10. Pre-Funded Trading
10.1
You agree that you must deposit with Selini Capital the full amount required for an Order of relevant Virtual Assets and/or fiat currency for an Order to be valid (the "Pre-Funded Assets"). You shall not withdraw, attempt to withdraw, transfer, alienate or provide a lien or charge to any third party on any Pre-Funded Assets held by Selini Capital to satisfy your obligation under any Order.
10.2
Whenever we receive Pre-Funded Assets from you which have been pre-funded without a corresponding Order (an "Funds for an Anticipated Order"), your funds shall be deposited into:
10.2.1
in the case of fiat, an omnibus account in the name of "Selini Capital FZE - Client Omnibus Account" (the "Omnibus Account"); or
10.2.2
in the case of Virtual Assets, your Client Virtual Asset Wallet to be held on your behalf as "Client Virtual Assets" under Part V of the VARA Compliance and Risk Management Rulebook.
10.3
Funds for an Anticipated Order denominated in fiat shall be held in the Omnibus Account for a period of seventy-two (72) hours from the time of receipt by us. The transfer is for the purpose of (i) facilitating the anticipated execution and settlement of your orders, (ii) covering your obligations pursuant to Section 10.1, and (iii) enabling us to provide the services under these Terms. You acknowledge and agree that such deposit is appropriate and necessary in order for us to deliver the services efficiently (including executing your Orders) and to manage our liquidity and risk exposure. Save as set out in Section 10.5.3, we will not use your assets for any purpose other than to hold them in preparation for an Order from you.
10.4
AssetsFunds for an Anticipated Order denominated in fiat transferred to us in accordance with Section 10.3 above will be recorded by us as a repayment obligation owed by us to you, equal to the amount transferred. As the Pre-Funded Assets held by us in this manner, our obligation to you is contractual in nature. We will not hold such assets on your behalf as "Client Money" under Part IV of the VARA Compliance and Risk Management Rulebook. You understand and acknowledge that during the period set out in Section 10.3
10.4.1
any Pre-Funded Assets denominated in fiat that we receive from you will not be held in an individually segregated Client Account
10.4.2
Pre-Funded Assets denominated in fiat will not benefit from the trust, safeguarding, segregation or insolvency protections afforded to Client Money under VARA’s rules; and
10.4.3
you will rank as an unsecured creditor in respect of such assets in the event of our insolvency.
10.5
Immediately after the expiry of the seventy-two (72) hour period expired referred to in Section 10.210.3, in relation to Funds for an Anticipated Order denominated in fiat we, in our sole discretion, will either:
10.5.1
treat the funds as Client Money, and pay them into your Client Account;
10.5.2
return the funds to you using the pre-approved bank accounts which have successfully complied with our procedures; or
10.5.3
within one (1) hour, execute an Order on your behalf to convert the funds into a fiat backed virtual asset of our choosing from our list of approved Virtual Assets (as advertised on our website), the resultant Virtual Assets shall be treated as Client Virtual Assets and paid into your Client Virtual AssetAssets Wallet within one (1) calendar day of execution of the Order. The Order will be executed as a market order on a trading venue selected at our sole discretion in accordance with Section 9. The achieved market price, being the actual execution price (or the volume-weighted average of execution prices, where filled across multiple price levels) at the time of execution, will be reported to your Account following completion of the Order. Fees for such Order shall be charged in accordance with these terms.
10.6
This arrangement shall apply only to clients who are classified as Institutional Investor or Qualified Investor under applicable laws and regulatory frameworks. If you do not qualify as a Institutional Investor or Qualified Investor or are uncertain of your classification, you must notify us immediately. We reserve the right to apply alternative arrangements, including Client Money and Client Virtual Asset segregation, where appropriate or required.
10.7
We shall not be liable for the diminution of value of any resultant assets following an Order executed under Section 10.5.3.

12.1
We are authorized to accept and act upon Instructions received from you or your authorized person(s), subject to these Terms.
12.2
We may assume the authenticity of any Instructions (by whatever means transmitted, including by telephone and not confirmed in writing) given or purportedly given by you or any authorized person and may rely on them conclusively, without further enquiry as to the genuineness, authority or identity of the person giving or purporting to give such Instruction. We shall not be bound to act in accordance with the communications or Instructions of any person other than you. Our liabilities shall be fully discharged by acting on any such Instructions, notwithstanding any notice received that your authority to act on behalf of your principal has been revoked or varied. Where telephone or electronic Instructions are involved, we may (but shall not be obliged to) rely on instructions purportedly given by only one (1) of your authorised signatories, notwithstanding any authority which you may have provided to us stipulating that we should only take action pursuant to receiving instructions from two (2) or more of your authorised signatories.
12.3
Any oral or written Instructions received by us in respect of any Transaction and identified as to proper authority to our satisfaction shall be deemed to be your proper and duly authorised Instructions and shall be binding on you, and we shall not be liable for acting upon such Instructions even if such Instructions contain an error or are not authentic or duly authorised.
12.4
The Client is responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the Instructions. The Client acknowledges and agrees that once an Instruction has been given, it cannot be revoked, and if acted on by Selini Capital, the Instruction will be binding on the Client.

In doing so, we shall be entitled to employ traditional or electronic means to capture, route, record, process and archive your verbal and written instructions. Except in cases of manifest error or omission, our instruction logs shall serve as conclusive evidence of your Instructions.
12.6
Where you provide Instructions to us by way of an electronic order routing system, such Instructions will become an order when we send an acceptance of the Instruction. Where you provide Instructions to us other than by way of telephone or electronic communications, such communications must be made in a durable medium in electronic format (including, in the case of face-to-face conversations or meetings, by use of written minutes or notes). You shall immediately inform us if you do not receive an acceptance of your Instruction promptly or if the acceptance received is inaccurate in any way.
12.7
We may, at our sole discretion, refuse to accept any Instruction or execute any Order if we determine it to be ambiguous, raise concerns, or contravenes Applicable Laws or our internal policies.

13.1
Upon acceptance of your order for a Transaction by us, we may, at our sole discretion and without prior notice to you, arrange for the order to be carried out.

Where we are required to deliver Virtual Assets to you in connection with a Transaction, we will—subject to the other provisions of this clause—transfer the relevant Virtual Assets to the digital wallet(s) agreed between you and us from time to time. We do not warrant that such delivery of Virtual Assets will, in any jurisdiction, suffice to transfer legal or beneficial title in those Virtual Assets to you.
13.3
Upon our request and within the time frame requested, you will provide us with all information required including that required, to settle any Transaction on your behalf.
13.4
We will not be obliged to settle any Transaction and shall owe no payment or delivery obligation to you until we have received all necessary documents or cleared funds from you. We shall not be deemed to be holding property on your behalf pending settlement of a Transaction.

13.6
If we are not in possession of Virtual Assets or fiat currencies at the time you instruct us to sell them on your behalf, you undertake to deliver those assets to us prior to the relevant settlement date. In the event of non-delivery, you irrevocably authorise us to purchase an equivalent Investment to cover your position and to charge any resulting loss (including loss, obligation, penalty, action, damages, judgment, suit, liability, costs, expenses or disbursement of any kind or nature whatsoever, including any cost of enforcement to you).
13.7
You undertake, before the maturity of any Transaction which constitutes a short position, to provide us with all the necessary documents relating to delivery of the relevant position. If you fail to do so, we may, without demand or notice, cover the position in the manner we consider most appropriate.
13.8
Unless we expressly agree to the contrary, all amounts of every kind which are payable by us to you and vice versa will be payable on a "delivery versus payment" basis. However, we may at our discretion effect the settlement of any Transactions with you on a "net" basis as determined by us.
13.9
If a Disruption Event occurs in respect of a Transaction we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, make such changes, conversions, adjustments or modifications to the exercise, settlement, payment or any other terms of such Transaction as we determine to be appropriate (which may include cancelling any relevant Transaction and calculating any payment due to or from you based on the closing prices we reasonably deem to be appropriate). When making such determination, we may have regard to preserving the economic terms of the affected Transactions, market practice in respect of the Disruption Event and its consequences, and the effect of the Disruption Event on our hedging positions.
14. Cancellation of an Order
14.1
Certain Orders may be cancelled or amended by contacting Selini Capital through an Agreed Communication Channel, provided such Orders have not yet been executed.

Selini Capital will execute Orders in accordance with these Terms

14.3
Selini Capital will provide express confirmation of the execution of an Order through an Agreed Communication Channel with confirmation that the related Transaction is "done" or has otherwise been "executed".
