Digital Assets prices can be volatile. These fluctuations may affect the value of Digital Assets you buy or sell under these Terms, which may be lower or higher at the time of and after completion of the transaction. You are solely responsible for your investment decisions and we are not liable for any losses you may incur.

1. Definitions

Unless otherwise defined, capitalised words used in these Terms shall have the same meaning given to them in the Terms of Use. The rules of interpretation set out in the Terms of Use shall apply to these Terms.

2. Disclosure and Consent

2.1 By accessing and/or using the Spot Trading service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and accepted all of the terms and conditions in these Terms, and you acknowledge and agree that you will be bound by and will comply with these Terms. If you do not understand and accept these Terms in their entirety, you should not subscribe.

3. Spot Trading Service

3.1 Spot Trading allows you to submit buy or sell Orders via the Platform in respect of certain Trading Pairs.

3.2 Our Services are available during such times as notified by Bitget on the Platform or as otherwise notified in writing by Bitget.

3.3 Bitget may periodically shut down the Platform or access to the Platform, and interrupt any automatic functions for reasons such as (i) emergency maintenance (including unscheduled maintenance); (ii) planned or unplanned system and software updates; and (iii) due to any other event or occurrence that Bitget considers, in its sole discretion, to be a reason to suspend or shut down the Platform.

3.4 You acknowledge and agree that Bitget reserves the right to disable, update, cancel, restrict or otherwise modify any content, components or features of Spot Trading and/or the Platform.

3.5 Without limiting any other clause in these Terms or the Terms of Use, we reserve the right, and without liability to you, to process an Order, decline to process an Order, suspend, cancel, reverse, void or partially execute your Orders at our discretion.

3.6 Bitget has the exclusive authority to determine which Digital Assets are listed on the Platform and may add or remove Digital Assets from the Platform in its sole discretion, from time to time. We may also change rules in respect of order parameters, including the order size and tick size available, for each Digital Asset. In respect of such additions, removals, or amendments, Bitget shall have no liability to users in connection with such additions, removals or amendments.

4. Orders

4.1 You may submit Orders by an Instruction on the Platform. You must, at a minimum, specify the following information when placing an Order, (i) the Trading Pair; (ii) whether you wish to buy or sell the Base Asset; (iii) the Order Type; (iv) the Order value (denominated in Base Asset or Quote Asset); and (v) any additional parameters required for the relevant Order Type or specified by Bitget from time to time.

4.2 An Order must comply with (i) any Transaction limits; (ii) the relevant Trading Rules; and (iii) any other requirements, filters or limits specified by Bitget or included in the Terms of Use, whether such requirements, filters or limits apply at the level of individual users, certain Digital Assets or at the level of the Exchange as a whole.

4.3 To submit an Order you must have available a balance in your Account sufficient to cover the total value of the Order and any applicable Fees as set out in the Fee Schedule. If you do not have a sufficient balance in your account, your Order will be rejected.

4.4 Any Transaction may incur a trading fee, as set out on the Fee Structure, as amended from time to time. You authorise Bitget to deduct any Fees directly from your Account without further notice to you.

4.5 When you submit your Order, the relevant quantity of the relevant Tradeable Asset will be locked in your Account until the Order is Matched, is cancelled or expires.

5. Market and Limit Orders

5.1 Market Orders are Taker Orders and a Market Order is not guaranteed to execute at a particular price. To submit a Market Order, you must specify the relevant Trading Pair and either the quantity of the Base Asset to be bought or sold or the quantity of the Quote Asset you want to spend or receive. Once a Market Order is Placed, it will be Matched, in whole or in part, with the best available Bid or Ask on the Order Book at the time. If the Size of the Bid or Ask at the top of the Order Book is not sufficient to Match the whole quantity of the Market Order, the remaining portion of the Market Order will be Matched successively with the next best Bid or Ask on the Order Book, until either (i) the whole Market Order has been filled, or (ii) there are no Bids or Asks available to Match with the remaining unfilled quantity of the Market Order and it expires. Therefore, the price at which a Market Order is filled depends on a number of factors, including in particular the liquidity and market depth of the Order Book at the time the Market Order is Placed.

5.2 A Limit Order can be a Maker Order or a Taker Order. To submit a Limit Order, you must specify the relevant Trading Pair and the quantity of the Base Asset to be bought or sold, as well as the least favourable price at which you are willing to trade (the “Limit Price”). A Limit Order may only execute at the Limit Price or at a better price (the “Limit Condition”). Limit Orders are not assured to be filled.

5.3 When submitting a Limit Order, you may also have the option to specify the “time in force” (“TIF”) of the Limit Order, which may be “Good Till Cancelled” (“GTC”), “Immediate or Cancel” (“IOC”) or “Fill Or Kill” (“FOK”). The default setting is GTC, which will apply unless you specify a different TIF.

5.4 Once a GTC Limit Order is Placed, it will be Matched, in whole or in part, with the best available Bid or Ask on the Order Book that satisfies the Limit Condition, if any. If the Size of the best Bid or Ask that satisfies the Limit Condition is not sufficient to Match the whole quantity of the GTC Limit Order, the remaining portion of the GTC Limit Order will be Matched successively with the next best Bid or Ask on the Order Book that satisfies the Limit Condition (if any) until the whole quantity of the GTC Limit Order has been filled or no further Bids or Asks are available that satisfy the Limit Condition. Any portion of the GTC Limit Order that remains unfilled at this stage (the “End of the Taker Phase”) will be added to the Order Book as a Bid or Ask at the Limit Price and will become a Maker Order.

5.5 An IOC Limit Order operates like a GTC Limit Order, except that any portion of the IOC Limit Order that remains unfilled at the End of the Taker Phase shall be deemed expired and will not be added to the Order Book.

5.6 If an FOK Limit Order is Placed, it will only execute if there are Bids or Asks available that (i) satisfy the Limit Condition, and (ii) have a Size equal to or greater than the quantity of the FOK Limit Order. If no such Bids or Asks are available, the whole FOK Limit Order shall be deemed expired and will not be added to the Order Book.

6. Custom Orders

6.1 Bitget may, at its sole and absolute discretion, make available on the Platform, and specify the exact requirements, parameters, restrictions, terms or conditions in regard to Custom Orders.

6.2 A Custom Order can be a Maker Order or a Taker Order. To submit a Stop Limit Order, you must specify all the parameters relevant to a Limit Order, as well as the price that must be Reached to trigger the submission of the Limit Order (the “Stop Price”).

6.3 To submit a Trailing Stop Order, you must specify all the parameters relevant to a Limit Order, as well as the relative price movement in percentage terms from the maximum or minimum price Reached after the Trailing Stop Order is Activated that shall trigger the submission of the Limit Order (the “Trailing Delta”). You may also specify a price that must be Reached for the Trailing Stop Order to be Activated (the “Activation Price”).

6.4 To submit an OCO Order, you must specify all the parameters relevant to a Limit Order, as well as all the parameters relevant to a Stop Limit Order. Both the Limit Order and the related Stop Limit Order constituting the OCO Order will be submitted together. If either the Limit Order or the Stop Limit Order is Matched or cancelled or expires, the other Order will be automatically cancelled.

7. Matching and cancellation

7.1 The Platform shall automatically Match Taker Orders with Maker Orders on an Order Book based on a predetermined set of rules.

7.2 A Taker Order will be Matched with the Maker Order with the best price on the relevant Order Book with Priority, if applicable, and,if only partially Matched with a Maker Order, will then be Matched with the next best Maker Order with Priority, if applicable. These steps will be repeated until the Taker Order is fully filled, expires or, in accordance with the rules for the relevant Order Type, the remaining unfilled portion of the Taker Order is added to the Order Book and becomes a Maker Order.

7.3 You may only cancel an Order before it has been Matched. Once your Order has been Matched, you may not change, revoke or cancel our authorization to complete the Matched portion of the Order. For any partially Matched Order, you may cancel the non-Matched part of the Order. Bitget reserves the right to reject any cancellation request related to an Order you have submitted.

8. Settlement

8.1 Once an Order is Matched, it will be Settled as soon as reasonably and commercially practicable.

8.2 Settlement is final and we will not reverse a Transaction unless, (i) Bitget is required to do so by Applicable Law; (ii) we are entitled to reverse the Transaction under these Terms or the Terms of Use; (iii) the Order, Matching or Settlement, or any parameter relevant to the foregoing, was affected by Manifest Error; or you have not complied with these Terms. Acting at our own discretion, in any event, we are only under an obligation to take reasonable and commercially practicable steps to return you to the position you were in prior to Settlement, in the event of a reversal of a Settlement. For the avoidance of doubt, in no circumstances shall Bitget be liable for any indirect losses.

9. Order management

9.1 You agree to comply with any limits or controls imposed by us under this clause and not to take any actions that will cause you to violate any such limits or controls. We may, in our sole discretion, impose trading and position limits and position management controls, including limits set out in the Trading Rules and other controls to mitigate and manage our own liquidity, operational and other risks, at any time, without prior notice and without giving reasons. Therefore, you acknowledge and agree that you may be prevented from submitting an Order or undertaking other steps at certain times if such actions would cause you to exceed an applicable limit, and that we may apply filters to reject an Instruction submitted by you that does not comply with any relevant limits or controls.

9.2 We may monitor your positions against the limits or controls imposed by us. Any such limits imposed by us are solely for our protection and the protection of other users and we will have no responsibility for monitoring or ensuring your compliance with any limits imposed on your trading activities by you or by Applicable Law.

9.3 To ensure compliance with Applicable Law or any limits or controls set by us hereunder, we may decline to act on Instructions and/or execute an Order. We may also suspend your use of the Platform, requiring you to take certain action that we consider appropriate in the circumstances.

10. Trading Bots

10.1 Bitget may offer access to certain trading bots, enabling Users to place Orders for the execution of Transactions by way of a predetermined execution methodology, using parameters selected by you and/or preset by us (“Trading Bot”). Subject to these Terms and the Terms of Use, any Trading Bot will continue to operate in accordance with your Instructions until they are cancelled, amended or expire. You may be able to make elections on the Platform about what should happen to the Digital Assets deployed in a Trading Bot when that bot ceases to operate.

10.2 You acknowledge and agree that you shall be solely responsible for determining whether or not you wish to make use of any Trading Bot and for selecting an appropriate Trading Bot in light of your investment objectives. You shall also be responsible for setting and/or confirming any parameters and/or applicable execution methodology to be applied by any Trading Bot you have chosen and you acknowledge that the choice of these parameters can have a significant impact on the Fees you may incur. You acknowledge and agree that Transactions entered into via Trading Bot may incur Fees and that you have considered the impact of Fees on the performance of the relevant Trading Bot.

10.3 Bitget is not responsible for your choice of any Trading Bot or for any selected parameters and/or execution methodology, and shall not be responsible for evaluating your goals in selecting any Trading Bot. Use of any Trading Bot is at your own discretion and at your own risk. We do not guarantee the results of any Trading Bot and will not be liable to you for any loss that might arise from your use of any Trading Bot. The output and offering of any Trading Bot and any recommended or default parameters set in connection therewith are not investment advice or any recommendation as to the use, appropriateness or suitability of any Transaction to be executed or the applicable execution methodology. You also acknowledge that your use of any Trading Bot may be limited by Applicable Law.

10.4 If Bitget determines that the use of a Trading Bot could have an impact on the market and/or adversely impact availability of liquidity across the relevant product and/or to ensure compliance with Applicable Law, you acknowledge and agree that Bitget may implement certain controls within its discretion, which may include cancellation of Orders and/or Transactions resulting from the use of a Trading Bot and/or restricting the use and/or availability of any Trading Bot for the execution of any Orders and/or Transactions.

10.5 Where a Trading Bot involves preset portfolios based on token categories, Bitget makes no representation as to the accuracy of the allocation of categories to tokens, the suitability of the method of selecting the tokens in the preset portfolio or the representativeness of any category portfolio of the associated sector.
