4.1. Nature of OKX TR

4.1.1. OKX TR is a Crypto Asset spot trading platform. OKX TR solely acts as an intermediary for the spot purchase or sale of Crypto Assets on the Platform following the User’s decision to engage in a transaction after examining the features of the Crypto Assets. OKX TR does not participate as a party in any transactions, nor does it provide any service that could be construed as an advisory activity to the User in these transactions.

4.1.2. OKX TR does not provide Services, via the Crypto Wallet or any other means, for the custody and maintenance of Crypto Assets as part of the Services offered to Users on the Platform. The Crypto Assets within the Platform are held by services obtained from third-party service providers. Accordingly, the User is required to transfer their Crypto Assets, acquired through OKX TR, from their user account at OKX TR to their own Crypto Wallets in order to transfer the ownership of the Crypto Assets. In this context, the User acknowledges that they have been informed Crypto Assets being held at the Platform are retained in line with the services provided by external service providers; and that OKX TR is not responsible for the Damages incurred by the User due to the incapacity, bankruptcy, etc. of these external service providers. Accordingly, the User fully accepts responsibility for the storage, safekeeping, and transfer to its own Crypto Wallet leading to the transfer of ownership of the Crypto Assets acquired through OKX TR.

4.1.3. OKX TR does not guarantee that the User will generate revenue from the transactions performed on the Platform.

4.1.4. By using the Services offered by OKX TR, irrespective of whether they are converted into investments or not, the User acknowledges, declares, and agrees that they have no right to any form of interest or similar additional returns for any Crypto Asset or fiat currency they own or can trade on the Platform. OKX TR, accordingly, notifies the User via this clause that OKX TR is not obligated or committed to operate the fiat currency or Crypto Asset type owned by the User or generate interest on their behalf on the Platform.

4.1.5. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement and excluding content and applications provided by third parties, OKX TR owns all rights to use the Services, domain names, software codes, interfaces, contents, product reviews, videos, algorithms, drawings, models, designs and all other intellectual property rights connected to the Platform.
