General provision for over-collaterised loan service
LIQD Customers are offered stablecoin based and fiat currency (iFiat) based loans for currency collateral. The range of assets that can be accepted as collateral is available on the Platform/Mobile application. The platform charges a predetermined interest rate for the amount borrowed, which accrues daily.
The LIQD platform acts solely as an intermediary and as collateral and depository for the loan transactions. Loans to customers are not provided by the LIQD platform or its operating company, or its employees but are in all cases lent by customers in a leveraged manner. The source of the lending is the LIQD Savings Account.
You expressly acknowledge and agree that the use of the LIQD Loan feature function is solely intended to provide short-term (up to 360 days) liquidity without the need to sell your assets. You agree that any illegal activity prohibited, in particular with respect to any use that causes substantial damage e.g. tax evasion, money laundering, terrorist financing or corruption. You also agree that you are liable to pay taxes in connection with the loan transaction, in the event that you do not repay the amount of the loan in full but in part or in full by selling the collateral. In addition you also agree that the LIQD Loan product is not intended to replace the commercial credit facilities offered by commercial banks.
You agree that the LIQD loan product is not a regulated financial market transaction.
You expressly agree that the LIQD loan product is a high-risk product where the primary purpose of the LIQD platform is the successful repayment of the loan.
You expressly acknowledge and agree that the LIQD platform is entitled to to sell the collateral and use it to repay the loan when there is a high risk of undercollaterised loans or loans not repaid on time. The details of this are set out in the Collateral handling for Loan service section.
Technical parameters of the loan agreement: loan duration, amount to be borrowed (in stablecoins or iFiat), the interest rate of the loan (annual interest rate), type of collateral to be pledged and amount of the loan. You expressly agree that the technical parameters of the contract cannot be modified freely, such as the term of the contract cannot be modified or extended, the interest rate linked to the contract may not be modified during the term of the contract.
Financial parameters of the loan agreement: a principal amount equal to the amount borrowed; accrued interest; total debt; level of over-collateralisation at the time of taking out (original LTV); instantaneous LTV; dollar value of collateral at origination; instantaneous LTV dollar value of cover. You expressly acknowledge and agree that this financial monitoring of these financial parameters is essential to the management of your loan agreement. The LIQD platform is subject to general availability through its web and mobile applications. Also subject to the constant availability of the financial parameters of your contract and to notify you electronically if there are any changes that require your intervention.
You expressly accept that the LIQD Loan product is a high-risk product, where the primary objective of the LIQD platform is the successful repayment of the loan. Alternatively you accept that sudden price movements in -assets may occur, which make it impractical or very difficult to raise extra collateral. You further accept that the level of over-collateralisation of your contract represents its risk level, so if you choose a low level of over-collateralisation, the chances of liquidation are increasing.
You have the option of partial or full early repayment. In the case of partial early repayment, all or part of the interest due up to that date will be repaid, and if no interest is due, the remaining amount will reduce the principal amount of the contract. In the case of partial early repayment (where the total amount owed is not written off to zero), no pro-rata amount of collateral is released from the contract in progress. This makes partial prepayment a way of increasing the level of over-collateralisation in the contract.
You expressly agree that collateral can only be withdrawn in whole or in part from a current loan transaction once the entire debt has been repaid. You also accept that the assets blocked as collateral are used by LIQD only as collateral, technologically prepared for its eventual liquidation, and therefore cannot be lent out as a new loan and therefore cannot pay interest.
A committed loan contract cannot be withdrawn or cancelled, except after full payment of the current debt.
You agree that you can influence the operation of your loan agreement by
(a) You may at any time take additional collateral. You can only use the asset you have borrowed to cover the loan.
(b) You may make a partial or full early repayment at any time, taking into account the effect of the repayment on the remaining loan amount or the collateral, over-collateralisation level.
(c) You may at any time exercise the option of “termination”, in which case, the amount of collateral corresponding to the value of the total outstanding debt will be sold, after which the contract will be terminated. You agree that you do not have the option of partial termination.
Collateral handling for Loan service
You expressly acknowledge and agree that the minimum over-collateralisation level for a loan application on the LIQD Platform is 90% and the collateral sales point is 95.14%, upon reaching which the liquidation of the collateral will automatically start and the relevant costs will be deducted according to the prevailing fee schedule, and the lender will be automatically paid and the contract will be closed. A minimum of 10 days’ interest will be charged on the opening of each loan contract, irrespective of the repayment date.
You agree that for all new loan contracts, the notification point for the inclusion of collateral is 80% LTV, or the over-collateral value at which the loan contract was concluded, if it was concluded on over-collateral above 80%. In any case, the LIQD Platform will send you a notification if the inclusion of collateral may be necessary. These notifications will be sent when the collateral level reaches 80%, 83.3%, 87%, 91% and 94.3%.
You agree and consent that LIQD takes all necessary steps to inform you regarding your running loan’s collateral level status with the measures above.
Mixed provision for using the over-collaterized Loan service
When you enter into a loan transaction that is over-collateralised, you instruct the LIQD Platform to automatically perform the following tasks:
(a) credit the requested loan amount (stablecoins/iFiat) to your LIQD Savings Account, from which you may withdraw it at any time, subject to the applicable withdrawal network fees.
(b) To make partial or full repayments initiated by you against your stablecoins/iFiat Savings Account balance.
(c) To block the amount of the asset offered as collateral and use it as collateral. (d)To manage the collateral and keep the financial records of the contract up to date. (e) In the event of a high risk of under-collateralisation, to liquidate immediately. (f) To block the amount of the asset offered as collateral and use it as collateral. (g) To manage the collateral and keep the financial records of the contract up to date.
(h) In the event of a high risk of under-collateralisation, to liquidate immediately, with evaluation of the platform shall act in accordance with the section on Collateral handling for Loan Service.
(i) In the event of failure to make full repayment by the due date of your choice, you authorise the platform to recover the outstanding balance of the required value of the Collateral to be sold.
(j) By or as a result of the immediate execution of any action that you may initiate immediately update the financial parameters of the contract.
(k) To deduct or charge you for the costs associated with each operation. (See table of the fees.)

Savings account, Automatic Interest Earning
Our clients automatically receive interest on the currencies stored in their Earn Savings Account. A Spend Account is the default wallet for clients, and all unused deposits are automatically located in Spend Account.
Clients can deposit and withdraw currencies anytime and any amount from the LIQD Spend Account, and they can increase their balance anytime, when the new balance is automatically added to the Spend Account.
To access the platform, enter the website or the LIQD mobile application, where you will find the deposit option for that currency. Interest is accounted for daily and credited weekly. Interest is paid in the same currency as the one stored in the Savings Account by default, except if the client particularly asks for receiving the weekly paid interest in LIQD tokens.
The amounts deposited in the Savings Account carry interest from the first full day. In case of withdrawing, interest can be credited after currencies are stored in the LIQD Savings Account until the last full day. Interest is paid on a pro-rata basis. Interest periods start every Wednesday at 0:00 AM and end the following Tuesday at 23:59. Service Provider publishes the current interests for the given periods a day before (on Tuesday) in newsletters and our social media channels. Current and previously applied interest rates are also available on the following link: https://api. LIQD.fi/LIQD/api/v1.0/public/apy
The credited interest produced on the given week also compounds to earn interest! The interest rate for a given period may differ slightly each week. Regarding the extent of the change, LIQD is not bound by any framework, but it seeks to ensure that the extent of the change does not exceed 100 basis points.
Savings Account, Interest payment entitlement
The Client is not entitled to pay interest on the part of its assets for which the following conditions are true: it is used as collateral for a loan, it is in a running limit order on the token market, it is being withdrawn/disbursed, it is blocked for other reasons.
In the case of Swap Transactions, no interest is charged on the exchanged assets on that day. The withdrawal amount started but cancelled before execution will bear no interest for that day.
Savings Account applied and announced interest (APY)
The interest rates indicated for certain earn assets are applied over one year of continuous subscription. These interest rates may vary by currency or by client, depending on the amount of LIQD tokens they store in their accounts. The LIQD token is the native token of the LIQD platform, and owning them comes with several benefits. One of the most prominent is receiving higher interest. To reach higher interest rates, clients may own at least 25,000 LIQD. In this case, the interest paid on the published interest rates increases by a variable %, depending how many LIQD are owned. Rates will be published on the LIQD.fi website and are subject to change at any time.
10
Internal Transfer
Internal Transfer allows the customers to safely and conveniently transfer any currency to other LIQD customers. To use the internal transfer function, a 2fa confirmation is required in all cases, and parties will receive email notification of the transfer. Internal Transfer is free to use.
The receiving party can be selected using either their email address or aliases.
Customers cannot use Internal Transfer to circumvent the platform rules, such as free transfers.
iFiat
The use of iFiat is subject to conditions, only members of authorised countries may use it, and the customer must also accept iFiat’s specific rules.
The iFiat service is not a banking service. The client can only transfer funds from their bank accounts, for which they must first prove that the client owns the bank account. In the case of transfers, only pre-authorised bank accounts may be used.
In the case of an iFiat transfer, if it can be verified that the transfer was made from the account of another natural or legal person, LIQD is entitled to reverse the transfer. LIQD shall deduct the bank charges for the reversal from the amount returned.
Unlike “traditional” currencies, in the case of iFiat, LIQD has the right not to store these assets as as-is, but to convert them into stablecoin or other currencies.
Customers can only access the iFiat function by bank transfer and can only make withdrawals by bank transfer. There is no other way to access the assets. In particular, no cash deposits or withdrawals are possible.
LIQD is not a financial institution and the iFiat assets stored on the platform are not covered by any deposit or investment insurance. You acknowledge and accept that the systemic risks associated with iFiat money are significantly higher than for bank deposits. In the event of a loss, the customer has no recourse through the traditional capital market safeguard processes.
LIQD guarantees, through its own business process, that the value of the fiat assets submitted to the platform and the value of the iFiat assets stored on the platform are the same (1 FIAT = 1 iFIAT).
The customer acknowledges that the fiat assets transferred to LIQD will be automatically converted to an internal tokenised fiat unit (iFiat) during the transfer. In addition, the internal tokenised fiat (iFiat) will be converted into fiat money during the withdrawal process. LIQD undertakes to perform 1/1 conversions for both transfers in and out.
LIQD does not allow you to tokenize assets stored in iFiat to any open blockchains. Furthermore, the customer acknowledges and accepts that iFiat coins are not considered to be stablecoins or to be a category of assets that are classified as stablecoins by law (e.g. asset referenced tokens or emoney tokens). iFiat is tokenised assets within the LIQD platform only.
LIQD maintains a minimum deposit amount for each iFiat wallet. If the customer’s deposit does not reach the minimum amount, the amount referred will not be credited to the customer’s account but will remain pending. The amount of the transfer will only be credited if the total of the client’s subsequent transfers or transfers reaches the minimum amount. The client is not allowed to use the small amount of pending funds on the platform and is not entitled for interest on these amounts. The customer may request the return of pending funds to the sending account at any time, but the bank charges for this must be borne by the customer.

Account Security
Security is vital, and LIQD will do everything in its power to secure your LIQD account however:
You are solely responsible for your LIQD account, your Personal Identification Number (PIN), or information about your LIQD account if it is linked to your LIQD account; follow all security measures, including your mobile phone and the verification code sent to your mobile phone. In case of a security breach (e.g. loss of phone), you should immediately notify us at [email protected]
Keep your phone secured and check its availability to receive appropriate notifications from LIQD. Keep your email account, phone number, confirmation codes, and your LIQD account safe.
Failing to maintain the necessary security measures could result in unauthorised access to your LIQD account. Service Provider is not responsible for any loss/theft/harmful activities originating from your negligence or ignoring the system messages/alerts from LIQD.
Your LIQD Account may be compromised or affected by phishing, spoofing, or other attacks, computer viruses, spyware, Trojan viruses, computer worms, or other malicious
programs that may affect your computer or other devices. Service Provider strongly recommends regularly using reliable anti-virus protection and prevention programs. Remember that SMS, email, and search engines are also at risk of spoofing and phishing attacks.
Be careful with messages that Service Provider sends and if you have any suspicion about the authenticity of this type of communication, log in to your LIQD account via the LIQD.fi website (specifically https://www.LIQD.fi via a domain, not through any other website or domain that refers to or associated with Service Provider), and verify transactions or activities that you may have requested.
In the broadest legal sense, you agree that you are fully responsible for all activities on your LIQD account and accept the risks of unauthorised access to your LIQD account.

Once the transaction order is included in the relevant currency network, the network automatically fulfills or rejects the request. Neither you nor Service Provider can delete or otherwise modify your transaction.
