If a different type of Digital Asset is deposited to the issued address, the deposit will not be processed. The Company shall not bear any responsibility, such as compensation for damages, recovery support, etc., unless the Company intentionally or negligently conducts such wrong deposit (or wrong withdrawal; hereinafter the same shall apply). However, if the Company has a reasonable judgment that there is no or significantly reduced security risk and that the recovery support for the wrong deposit is technically and economically possible, the Company may support the recovery of the wrong deposit.

- When issuing deposit addresses for digital assets that do not have their own mainnet configured, the deposit address may be issued as a contract address. Unlike a regular wallet address, the contract address itself does not have a private key. Therefore, in case of a wrong deposit to the contract address, it cannot be recovered using the general Digital Asset recovery method using the private key, and it is also impossible for the Company to recover the wrong deposited asset. However, an exception is made in the case of a wrong deposit due to an intentional or negligent act of the Company.
- Digital Assets for which trade support has ended will not be deposited, and will be processed so that they are in a state of pending deposit.

However, if the Company determines that there are no security risks or that they have been significantly reduced, and that deposit processing, recovery support, etc. related to the Arbitrary Deposit can be carried out within a reasonable range technically and economically, the Company may decide to proceed with deposit processing, recovery, etc. For deposit processing, recovery, etc., a reasonable cost may be charged after informing the requesting Member in advance.
- In order to protect users, comply with relevant laws such as the Electronic Financial Transactions Act, and manage security, the Company may set per-transaction and daily limits on deposits and withdrawals of USDT and Digital Assets, taking into consideration the market price, transaction volume, frequency of and demand for deposits and withdrawals, network characteristics, and other relevant factors for each Digital Asset. Specific matters regarding the applicable limits shall be governed by the Deposit & Withdrawal Guide and User Guide available through the Support Center.

- The Company shall specify the minimum amount of Digital Assets on its website or service, and the Member shall verify the minimum amount of Digital Assets before the deposit and withdrawal of Digital Assets.
