Crypto assets are digital currencies that are protected by encryption technology.

Unlike the Japanese yen, US dollar, and other legal tender issued by a state, the value of crypto assets is not guaranteed by any specific authority.

Note: Laws and regulations regarding crypto assets vary by country.

Crypto asset-related information refers to anything having to do with undisclosed important information related to BITMAX or regarding crypto assets handled or intended to be handled by BITMAX, as well as information that could affect one's decision to purchase, sell, or trade crypto assets.

For example, the following types of people are likely to be insiders:

1) An issuer or manager of a crypto asset handled by BITMAX

2) An associated company (as defined in article 8.8 of the "Regulation for Terminology, Forms and Preparation of Financial Statements") of a person described in 1)

3) A major shareholder of 1) or 2)

4) An officer of 1) or 2)

5) A person who formerly qualified as 4) within one year

6) A spouse or cohabitant of 4)

7) An employee of 1) or 2)

8) A major shareholder, officer, or employee who conducts crypto asset-related trading for business (regardless of registration or whether they are in Japan or abroad)

If you qualify as an insider, you cannot make transactions using crypto asset-related information. BITMAX monitors for insider trading and other inappropriate transactions, and will alert or warn users if it is determined that any such activity has occurred. We also reserve the right to limit trading or cancel accounts at our discretion.

About price alerts toggle

The price alert feature notifies you of crypto asset prices via the BITMAX Notifications (BITMAXお知らせ) official LINE account.

You can receive price alerts:

• When a price that you've registered has been reached.

• Every morning at 8 am.

Up to five price alerts can be set for each crypto asset. You can also enter specific prices that you want to receive alerts for, or set prices with variability rates from the current price.

To set price alerts:

1. Tap a crypto asset on the BITMAX home screen.

2. Tap the bell icon at the top right of the screen and add the price alert of your choice.

The Current price shows the price that was most recent when you opened the Price alerts screen. Please be aware this price will not change automatically if the rate fluctuates.

Note: The date and time that you opened the Price alerts screen appears below the Current price.

My price alert didn't arrive/disappeared toggle

The price you are alerted of is between the buy and sell price.

A price alert is sent each time the price is calculated (about once a minute). It may take some time for you to be alerted when a price that you've set has been reached.

You will not be alerted at times when rate notifications are not being sent (such as during system maintenance). Also, depending on the condition of the BITMAX Notifications (BITMAXお知らせ) official LINE account, alerts may be late or fail to arrive.

After you've received a price alert that you set, it will be automatically deleted.
