    TERMS AND CONDITIONS

    These Terms and Conditions and the Confirmation as defined in Clause 2.4 herein (collectively this “Agreement”) govern the borrowing and lending of cryptographic assets and/or, if agreed by the parties in writing, other assets (the “Digital Assets”) on the electronic platform of Bybit Fintech Limited (the “Lender”, “we”,“us” or “our”) and certain customers who desire to borrow Digital Assets from us (the “Borrower”, “you”, “your”).This Agreement forms a binding agreement between the Company and you and serves to supplement the terms of our Service Agreement (the “Service Agreement”) between you and the Company when you register for the electronic trading platform of the Company. If you do not agree to any terms of this Agreement, you must immediately cease using the Platform (as defined in the Service Agreement) and not borrow any Digital Assets under this Agreement.


    1 Applicability
    From time to time the parties hereto may enter into transactions in which Lender will lend to Borrower certain Digital Assets (as defined herein) in an aggregate amount equivalent to up to the Maximum Loan Amount set forth in the Confirmation (as defined below) against a transfer of Collateral (as defined herein). Each such transaction shall be referred to herein as a “Loan” and, unless otherwise agreed in writing, shall be governed by this Agreement, including any supplemental terms or conditions contained in an email, or notification to Borrower. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided in Section 25.


    2 Loans of Digital Assets; Applicable Market
    2.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may, from time to time, seek to initiate a transaction in which Lender will lend Digital Assets to Borrower by delivery to Lender of a duly completed loan request via electronic communication.

    2.2 A loan request is irrevocable and will not be regarded as having been duly completed unless Borrower specifies:
    (a) the type and amount of Acceptable Digital Assets to be lent;
    (b) the term of the Loan; and/or
    (c) account number of the Account for the deposit of the Loaned Digital Assets.

    2.3 Lender shall review each loan request and, acting in its sole and absolute discretion, notify Borrower whether or not it approves such loan request. Lender may reject a loan request for any reasonable reason, including by reason of any errors or omissions in the loan request relating to details of previous Loans. The approval of a loan request is not an indication of Lender’s approval of any subsequent loan requests.

    2.4 If a loan request is approved, Lender will notify Borrower, via email or other notifications on the Platform, the terms of the Loan, including the type and amount of Digital Assets to be lent, the amount of Loan Fee, the amount of Collateral to be transferred by Borrower, the term and repayment date and any additional terms (“Confirmation”). Such Confirmation, the Loan Receipt Confirmation together with the Agreement and the loan request, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed between Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan to which that Confirmation and that loan request relate. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of such Confirmation or loan request and this Agreement, the terms of such Confirmation or loan request shall prevail.

    2.5 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement regarding when a Loan commences, unless otherwise agreed, a Loan hereunder shall not be deemed to have been advanced until the Loaned Digital Assets and the Collateral therefor have been transferred in accordance with Section 15.

    2.6 Each Loan shall have a term ranging from seven (7) days to one (1) year. Unless otherwise agreed, Borrower may prepay the whole or any part of a Loan provided that Borrower pays Lender no less than seven (7) days of the Loan Fee applicable to that Loan.

    2.7 Borrower shall have the right to request an extension of a Loan repayment date by delivering an extension request to Lender no later than the date falling one (1) Business Day and no earlier than the date falling seven (7) Business Days prior to the applicable repayment date of such Loan. Lender shall, acting in its sole and absolute discretion, notify Borrower whether or not it agrees to the requested extension of the Loan repayment date. If Lender rejects the extension request, no extension of the Loan repayment date shall occur. Any extension is subject to no Default having occurred and being continuing on the original Loan repayment date.

Borrower may similarly apply the Loaned Digital Assets and any proceeds thereof to any other obligation of Lender under this Agreement, including Lender’s obligations with respect to Distributions paid to Lender (and not forwarded to Borrower) in respect of Collateral. In the event that (i) the sales price received from such Loaned Digital Assets is less than (ii) the purchase price of Replacement Collateral (plus the amount of any Collateral not replaced by Borrower and all other amounts, if any, due to Borrower hereunder), Lender shall be liable to Borrower for the amount of any such deficiency, together with interest on such amounts at a rate equal to 12% from the date of such sale until the date of payment of such deficiency.
