CoinCola is a peer-to-peer platform service that enables its users to buy and sell digital currency. The Site allows buyers ("Buyers") and sellers ("Sellers"), to buy and sell the Internet currency known as "Bitcoins" (see http://bitcoin.org) or other virtual digital currency, and the services provided by the Site from time to time (the “Service”).
CoinCola also offers hosted digital wallet services. Our registered users are able to post offers to either buy or sell digital currency via payment methods of their choice. The creator of the offer is responsible for listing terms of the trade. Once an offer is selected by another user, digital currency is held in our escrow service from the party that is selling it. The digital currency is released from escrow to the buyer by the seller once the buyer has completed the terms of the trade. The escrow is released back to the seller if the buyer chooses to cancel the trade. The seller may not cancel the trade at any point. The seller only has the option to release the digital currency from escrow to the buyer. This is for the security purposes of the buyer. Should a seller need to cancel the trade due to a buyer not following the terms of the trade, they must start a dispute and provide a reason for doing so.
CoinCola also provides an online digital asset trading platform (crypto to crypto) for products commonly known as cryptographic currency. CoinCola does not provide fiat trading capabilities on its platform and as such is not subjected to the stringent regulations that come with it. CoinCola functions as a trading platform provider and is not a market maker. Traders must register and open an account with CoinCola and deposit digital assets prior to commencement of trading.

ID verified accounts have a clear owner which makes it easy to return access to you if you lose all access to your account. It is very hard or impossible to return access to accounts that are unverified, even if you know your username, as it is difficult to identify the original account owner.

The trading of goods and products, real or virtual, as well as virtual currencies involves significant risk. Prices can and do fluctuate on any given day. Due to such price fluctuations, you may increase or lose value in your assets at any given moment. Any currency - virtual or not - may be subject to large swings in value and may even become worthless. There is an inherent risk that losses will occur as a result of buying, selling or trading anything on a market.
Bitcoin trading also has special risks not generally shared with official currencies or goods or commodities in a market. Unlike most currencies, which are backed by governments or other legal entities, or by commodities such as gold or silver, Bitcoin and virtual digital currency is a unique kind of "fiat" currency, backed by technology and trust. There is no central bank that can take corrective measure to protect the value of Bitcoins and virtual digital currency in a crisis or issue more currency.
Instead, Bitcoin and virtual digital currency is an as-yet autonomous and largely unregulated worldwide system of currency firms and individuals. Traders put their trust in a digital, decentralized and partially anonymous system that relies on peer-to-peer networking and cryptography to maintain its integrity.
Bitcoin and virtual digital currency trading is probably susceptible to irrational (or rational) bubbles or loss of confidence, which could collapse demand relative to supply. For example, confidence might collapse in Bitcoin because of unexpected changes imposed by the software developers or others, a government crackdown, the creation of superior competing alternative currencies, or a deflationary or inflationary spiral. Confidence might also collapse because of technical problems: if the anonymity of the system is compromised, if money is lost or stolen, or if hackers or governments are able to prevent any transactions from settling.
There may be additional risks that we have not foreseen or identified in our Terms of Business.
You should carefully assess whether your financial situation and tolerance for risk is suitable for buying, selling or trading Bitcoins or any other virtual digital currency.
Withdrawal operations are a risky act of asset transfer.Before you operate the withdrawal, you need to fully understand the potential risks of the withdrawal, and make the withdrawal decision cautiously. Once the withdrawal is confirmed, it means that you have understood the risks of the withdrawal and voluntarily assume the risks and laws that may be faced by the withdrawal responsibility.
This risk notice does not guarantee to prompt all risks of withdrawal operation.Before operating the withdrawal, you should fully understand the relevant policies and regulations, and you need to carefully consider whether to operate the withdrawal according to your own relevant circumstances.
