SECURITY AND PRIVACY

To protect your privacy and information about your Tiips Account and access to your account, when you open a Tiips Account, you must create a Password. Unless you enter the correct Password upon logging in to your Tiips Account, we are unable to take your instructions regarding your Tiips Account. You are responsible for, and give us your authorization to carry out, all instructions given to us online where and when your correct Password is entered to access your Tiips Account. Tiips will not be liable to you for any loss or claim arising out of our relying on oral or electronic instructions provided to us using your Password.
  1. You accept that it is your responsibility to keep your Password confidential. You alone are responsible for your Password security. When you give us instructions by cellular phone, email, or other non-secure methods, including instructions sent through the Mobile App, we cannot guarantee confidentiality because third parties can intercept those methods of communication. If you suspect that any other person has become aware of your Password, you must immediately notify us in writing by email or via the Tiips Application customer service chat and you agree to cooperate with us in any subsequent investigation. Until you notify us, you will be liable for all transactions that are made using your Password. In addition to Passwords, you may be required to adopt other security measures that we make available to protect the security of your information.
  2. You must exercise safe security practices when accessing and conducting electronic transactions. This includes signing out and closing any online electronic transaction services once all transactions have been completed regardless of your method of accessing the Tiips Platform. You must also maintain any security measures that we recommend relating to requirements for encryption technology, virus scanning, software, firewall systems, anti-spyware software, cybersecurity measures and similar safeguards to maintain security for all electronic transaction activities.
  3. Tiips does not store Passwords on the backend, only on the user’s phone; consequently only one device can be used by a user for one account at any point in time.
  4. Every network communication with Tiips servers is secured by the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.
  5. Tiips maintains the master copy of ownership records. Records relating to you and your Tiips Account will only be modified upon the execution of your valid instructions, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
  6. On a regular and frequent basis, but no more frequently than daily, Tiips will publish reconciled and anonymized customer-by-customer records of ownership of all the bullion in the vaults held by customers to both internal and independent external sources.
  7. Tiips ensures that at least two widely separated data storage sites receive duplicates of the full Tiips database.

PRICE

You agree that the price for any purchase or sale of gold for any transaction within your Tiips Account will be based on the Best Bid or Offer (“BBO”) as calculated by our pricing engine. The pricing engine, among other things, collects and distributes real-time gold prices from its bullion counterparties quoting bids and offers for the purchase or sale of physical gold bullion from each respective Bullion Provider Tiips transacts with. You accept that the BBO is determined at Tiips’s sole and absolute discretion taking into account all factors it deems relevant, including without being limited to the prevailing world and local market conditions for gold, the exchange rate between United States Dollar (or any other foreign currency adopted) and Hong Kong Dollar and the gold fineness. Every gold transaction in your Tiips Account is executed at the BBO plus the current prevailing fee published on the Tiips Platform if applicable.
  1. Physical deliveries of gold are subject to a processing fee payable from your Tiips Account if applicable. Taking possession of physical gold may incur shipping and insurance surcharges which will be confirmed with you in advance.
  2. Storage fees may apply for gold stored with the Vault Operators, at rates prescribed by Tiips from time to time.
  3. You are entitled to refund of any purchase made within seven (7) days but shall remain liable for any fluctuation in gold prices and administrative fees.

GOLD QUALITY, PURITY, AND AUDITING

  1. Tiips takes only assayed bullion bars as good delivery from recognized counterparties, bullion-dealers, and bullion-banks according to best industry-practices which exist in the market.
  2. All physical gold purchased by you will be stored at a Vault Operator upon purchasing the gold in your Tiips Account.
  3. All physical gold purchase by you is not less than 99.5% purity and of a weight and manufacturer accepted by the global bullion markets such as CGSE or other globally recognized bullion markets.
  4. Tiips accounting units of gold, in accordance with standard bullion-market practice, are expressed in fine gold content. The fine gold content of each bar is its weight multiplied by its purity. The resulting units of gold applied on your Tiips Account are 99.99% pure gold content (fine gold) of a 99.5% (or greater) assayed bullion bar denominated in grams and milligrams (1gram = 1000 milligrams).
  5. Tiips confirms that it has obtained a representation from its gold bullion counterparties that every gram of gold purchased by Tiips for Tiips Accounts is a gram of the 99.99% pure gold content (fine gold) of a 99.5% (or greater) assayed bullion bar held in the relevant Vault.

STORAGE AND INSURANCE of Gold

  1. You authorize us to arrange for the storage, transportation, and insurance of your gold. We will hold your gold as bailee and appoint Tiips Service Limited, or any of its affiliates (“TSL”), as our agent, to enter into storage agreements with gold vault operators selected by Tiips in its sole discretion (a “Vault Operator”).
  2. All storage agreements with Vault Operators are entered into by TSL.
  3. Any storage agreement entered into by TSL with a Vault Operator provides that gold allocated under the storage agreement will be specifically identified and physically segregated at all times.
  4. You authorize us to act as bailee and to provide instructions to the Vault Operator and insurance company in such capacity under the terms of the bailment.
  5. Notwithstanding any other term, neither Tiips nor TSL is responsible for the physical storage and safekeeping of your gold bullion. That responsibility lies with the Vault Operator. Beyond committing to ensure adequate insurance is in place in relation thereto, as set forth in clause 8.6 below, neither Tiips nor TSL has any responsibility or liability relating to the storage of gold.

STORAGE AND INSURANCE of crypto-currencies

  1. Your crypto-currencies shall not covered by any insurance policy.
  2. Your crypto-currencies shall stored in cold wallet keep by Tips Dollar (HK) Limited.

FEES AND LIMITS

  1. You may, by initiating a withdrawal request via the Tiips Platform, together with such identifying information as requested by Tiips and on behalf of the Vault Operator, at any time request physical delivery of your gold for your pick up, provided that you hold sufficient gold (as specified in clause 9.2) and subject to the withdrawal limits described below.
  2. Physical withdrawals of gold are subject to a minimum quantity in the form of whole grammes and a minimum of 50 grammes when making a physical withdrawal request through the Tiips Platform. Physical withdrawals of gold may be subject to daily maximum withdrawal limits. You are responsible for the payment of any insurance, delivery, and transportation fees, which will be advised to you and agreed with you in advance.
  3. You may sell the gold in your Tiips Account by transferring funds to your personal bank account via FPS. The gold in your Tiips Account will then be sold at the prevailing market price at the time of the withdrawal pursuant to clause 6. The transfer of funds between your Tiips Account and your personal bank account may be subject to DBS Bank FPS system and usually take place in the next business day.
  4. Tiips reserves the right to reject any incoming or outgoing wire. Outgoing wire instructions may be rejected if the details provided are insufficient, the receiving institution cannot be identified, it is uneconomical to do so, the currency is not one of currencies accepted by Tiips from time to time or if there are insufficient net funds in the Tiips Account.

  1. Promotional Balances are equal in value and redemption rights to traditional Tiips balances in your Tiips Account.
  2. Tiips may disqualify a Tiips Account holder from a promotion and/or claim back Promotional Balances if it believes, in its absolute discretion, that their Tiips Account or subsequent referred Tiips Accounts have been set up to abuse the promotion or if you are otherwise in breach of this Agreement or the terms and conditions of the promotion. Tiips reserves the right to suspend, modify or terminate a promotion at any time and without prior notice.
  3. Tiips reserves the right to validate referred Tiips Accounts which must meet the terms outlined in clause 2 and may withhold Promotional Balances for up to sixty (60) days.
