Hi,
Welcome to ArcTaurus Limited. We own and operate the website, www.arctaurus.com. (“Website”) where we permit Users to use our software, ArcTaurus, to design and automate trading strategies to invest and trade in cryptocurrency on third party cryptocurrency exchanges. These are our terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”). Capitalised terms bear the meanings set out in Section 3 below.

By registering for an account you are representing and warranting to us that you may legally trade in, buy, sell and invest in cryptocurrencies.
Trading in cryptocurrency is high risk, since cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and are traded 24/7, 365 days a year, which can lead to large or complete losses. You should only invest money you are prepared to lose. Cryptocurrency trading may not be suitable for you, and you should seek the advice of a fully qualified independent professional financial adviser.
