General Terms and Conditions of Anycoindirect.eu and Phoenix Payments BV

Introduction

Anycoin Direct wants to offer a secure and serviceable platform. Anycoin Direct is well aware that to do so it must be reliable and transparent. Anycoin Direct therefore carefully considers the interests of its customers, employees, and society at large and the integrity and image of the cryptocurrency market. This is why Anycoin Direct has appointed an Anti-Money Laundering Officer, a Compliance Officer and a Privacy Officer, but is also asking you to carefully read the material provided before you start trading in cryptocurrencies. Anycoin Direct therefore pays a lot of attention to its information provision. We advise you to take precautions in order to avoid unnecessary risks and to carefully read the essential information about cryptocurrencies. Investment and trading in cryptocurrencies is new, high-risk and highly speculative; you could lose your entire investment.

2. Anycoin Direct notifies you that payment of your cryptocurrency will be cancelled or reversed.
