Such actions may be taken as a result of a number of factors, including without limitation legal/regulatory requirements or demand, our discretion, or your violation of the terms of this Agreement. We may also temporarily suspend your access to the Platform and/or Services if a technical problem so requires. It is your sole responsibility to provide accurate information to us. You are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of all information and materials that you provide to use in connection with your use of the Platform.

Fees Certain blockchains require the payment of a transaction fee (“Gas Fee”) for every transaction that occurs on the network. The Gas Fee funds the network of computers that run the decentralized blockchain. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction. Accordingly, you must ensure that you have a sufficient balance of cryptocurrency stored at your wallet to complete any transaction on the blockchain before initiating such transactions. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any Gas Fees before initiating any services that require the use of the blockchain network.

In the event that we add fees to the Platform or any of our Services, we will alert you in writing prior to any such fees going into effect.

Token Transactions

You should confirm all information before you make any transfers to any third-party wallet. Argo will bear no liability or responsibility if you enter an incorrect blockchain destination address, incorrect Destination Tag/Memo, or send your tokens to an incompatible or someone else’s wallet. We do not guarantee the identity or value received by a recipient of an outbound transfer of tokens from the Platform to third-party wallets.
