power from certain locations.

Please refer to the NiceHash Website, for more information about terminology, hashing
power transactions’ definitions and descriptions, order types, order submission, order
procedure, order rules and other restrictions and limitations of the hashing power
transactions. NiceHash reserves the right to change any transaction, definitions,
description, order types, procedure, rules, restrictions and limitations at any time for any
reason.

Orders, provision of hashing power, payments, deposits, withdrawals and other


transactions are accepted only through the interface of the NiceHash Website, NiceHash
API and NiceHash Account and are fixed by the software and hardware tools of the
NiceHash Website. If you do not understand the meaning of any transaction option,
NiceHash strongly encourages you not to utilize any of those options.

HASHING POWER ORDER

In order to submit an order via the NiceHash Account, the Hashing power buyer must
have available funds in his NiceHash Wallet.

Hashing power buyer submits a new order to buy hashing power via the NiceHash
Website or via the NiceHash API by setting the following parameters in the order form:
NiceHash service server location, third-party mining pool, algorithm to use, order type,
set amount he is willing to spend on this order, set price per hash he is willing to pay,
optionally approximate limit maximum hashing power for his order and other parameters
as requested and by confirming his order. Hashing power buyer may submit an order in
maximum amount of funds available on his NiceHash Wallet at the time of order
submission. Order run time is only approximate since order’s lifetime is based on the
number of hashes that it delivers.
Particularly during periods of high volume, illiquidity, fast movement or volatility in the
marketplace for any digital assets or hashing power, the actual price per hash at which
some of the orders are executed may be different from the prevailing price indicated on
NiceHash Website at the time of your order. You understand that NiceHash is not liable
for any such price fluctuations. In the event of market disruption, NiceHash Hashing
Power Marketplace disruption or manipulation or Force Majeure Event, NiceHash may
do one or more of the following: (i) suspend access to the NiceHash Account or
NiceHash Website, or (ii) prevent you from completing any actions in the NiceHash
Account, including closing any open orders. Following any such event, when trading
resumes, you acknowledge that prevailing market prices may differ significantly from the
prices available prior to such event.

When Hashing power buyer submits an order for purchasing of the Hashing power via
NiceHash Website or via the NiceHash API he authorizes NiceHash to execute the order
on his behalf and for his account in accordance with such order. Hashing power buyer
acknowledges and agrees that NiceHash is not acting as his broker, intermediary, agent
or advisor or in any fiduciary capacity. NiceHash executes the order in set order amount
minus NiceHash’s processing fee. Once the order is successfully submitted the order
amount starts to decrease in real time according to the payments for the provided
hashing power.

Hashing power buyer agrees to pay applicable processing fee to NiceHash for provided
services. The NiceHash’s fees are deducted from Hashing power buyer’s NiceHash
Wallet once the whole order is exhausted and completed. Please refer to the NiceHash
Website, for more information about the fees which are applicable at the time of
provision of services. NiceHash reserves the right to change these fees according to the
provisions to change these Terms at any time for any reason. The changed fees will
apply only for the NiceHash Services provided after the change of the fees. All orders
submitted prior the fee change but not necessary completed prior the fee change will be
charged according to the fees applicable at the time of the submission of the order.

NiceHash will attempt, on a commercially reasonable basis, to execute the Hashing


power buyer’s purchase of the hashing power on the Hashing power marketplace under
these Terms according to the best-effort delivery approach. In this respect NiceHash
does not guarantee that the hashing power will actually be delivered or verified and does
not guarantee any quality of the NiceHash Services.

Hashing power buyer may cancel a submitted order during order’s lifetime. If an order
has been partially executed, Hashing power buyer may cancel the unexecuted
remainder of the order. In this case the NiceHash’s processing fee will apply only for the
partially executed order. NiceHash reserves the right to refuse any order cancellation
request once the order has been submitted.

SELLING HASHING POWER AND THE PROVISION OF HASHING POWER


In order to submit the hashing power to the NiceHash stratum server the Hashing power
provider must first point its Hashing power rig to the NiceHash stratum server. Hashing
power provider is solely responsible for configuration of his Hashing power rig.

The Hashing power provider gets paid by Hashing power buyers for all validated and
accepted work that his Hashing power rig has produced. The provided hashing power is
validated by NiceHash’s stratum engine and validator. Once the hashing power is
validated the Hashing power provider is entitled to receive the payment for his work.
NiceHash logs all validated hashing power which was submitted by the Hashing power
provider. The Hashing power provider receives the payments of current globally
weighted average price on to his NiceHash Wallet or his selected personal Bitcoin
address. The payments are made periodically depending on the height of payments.
NiceHash reserves the right to hold the payments any time and for any reason by
indicating the reason, especially if the payments represent smaller values. Please refer
to the NiceHash Website, for more information about the height of payments for provided
hashing power, how the current globally weighted average price is calculated, payment
periods, payment conditions and conditions for detention of payments. NiceHash
reserves the right to change this payment policy according to the provisions to change
these Terms at any time for any reason.

All Hashing power rig’s earnings and profitability calculations on NiceHash Website are
only for informational purposes. NiceHash does not warrant that your Hashing power
rigs would achieve the same profitability or earnings as calculated on NiceHash Website.
You hereby acknowledge that it is possible that your Hashing power rigs would not be as
profitable as indicated in our informational calculations or would not be profitable at all.

Hashing power provider agrees to pay applicable processing fee to NiceHash for
provided services. The NiceHash’s fees are deducted from all the payments made to the
Hashing power provider for his provided work. Please refer to the NiceHash Website, for
more information about the fees which are applicable at the time of provision of services.
NiceHash reserves the right to change these fees according to the provisions to change
these Terms at any time for any reason. The changed fees will apply only for the
NiceHash Services provided after the change of the fees.

NiceHash will attempt, on a commercially reasonable basis, to execute the provision of


Hashing power providers’ hashing power on the Hashing power marketplace under
these Terms according to the best-effort delivery approach. In this respect NiceHash
does not guarantee that the hashing power will actually be delivered or verified and does
not guarantee any quality of the NiceHash Services.

Hashing power provider may disconnect the Hashing power rig from the NiceHash
stratum server any time. NiceHash reserves the right to refuse any Hashing power rig
once the Hashing power rig has been pointed towards NiceHash stratum server.

Misuse and malicious use of Hashing power rigs is strictly prohibited. It is particularly
prohibited to use NiceHash Services by using network botnets or by using NiceHash
