The responsibility for the accuracy and authenticity of the documents and information provided during the verification process lies with the registering user or the legal entity’s representative. If the information provided is proven to be false, Bitbank reserves the right to immediately suspend the user’s account, deny services, and pursue the matter through legal authorities.

1.3 Account Usage

Users undertake to use their accounts solely for personal and exclusive purposes and not to share security information, such as passwords, with any other person. Any liability arising from unauthorized use by third parties is entirely the user’s responsibility. For legal entity accounts, liabilities arising from unauthorized use are jointly and severally borne by the legal representative and the company. All transactions and activities related to the account are the user’s responsibility, and Bitbank will not be liable for any damages resulting from such activities. For more information on security measures and related responsibilities, refer to Article 2 on Account Security.
