APPENDIX
Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Financing of Terrorism Policy
We shall apply a risk-based approach to anti-money laundering ("AML") and counter-financing of terrorism ("CFT"), which involves an assessment of the money laundering ("ML") and terrorism financing ("TF") risks and adopting measures that are proportionate to these risks in order to mitigate such risks appropriately and more cost-effectively. The degree, frequency or intensity of AML/CTF controls will be more comprehensive for higher ML/TF risks.
We have appointed a point person at management level to address compliance with AML/CTF legal requirements. The first line of defence is the business units, which are accountable for mitigating any ML/TF risks. The second line of defence rests with the compliance team, which is responsible for monitoring and reporting ML/TF risks. The third line of defence is the audit team (which can be internal or external), which is responsible for carrying out independent assessments of our procedures and controls.
Users of the Platforms (each a "User") agree to provide any information and/or documents reasonably required by us to comply with any applicable anti-money laundering or counter-terrorism financing laws including any applicable laws imposing "know your customer" or other identification checks or procedures that we are required to comply with in respect of its provision of services relating to our Platforms ("AML/CTF Laws"). The foregoing obligation applies only to the extent that such information and such documents are in the possession of the User or may be obtained by it after having undertaken reasonable steps and subject to any confidentiality, privacy or general law obligations owed by the User to any person in relation to whom the information or documents requested relate (except, in all cases, to the extent that the foregoing may be overridden by the relevant AML/CTF Laws). Each party must comply with any AML/CTF Laws applicable to it, to the extent required to comply with its obligations under the Terms. We may decline to perform any obligation(s) and/or perform any transactions to the extent that we form a view that engaging in such activity or inactivity is inconsistent with our AML/ CFT policy.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall be released from any confidentiality, privacy or general law obligations that we would otherwise owe you, where such release is necessary for us to comply with the applicable AML/CFT Laws.

APPENDIX
Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Financing of Terrorism Policy
We shall apply a risk-based approach to anti-money laundering ("AML") and counter-financing of terrorism ("CFT"), which involves an assessment of the money laundering ("ML") and terrorism financing ("TF") risks and adopting measures that are proportionate to these risks in order to mitigate such risks appropriately and more cost-effectively. The degree, frequency or intensity of AML/CTF controls will be more comprehensive for higher ML/TF risks.
We have appointed a point person at management level to address compliance with AML/CTF legal requirements. The first line of defence is the business units, which are accountable for mitigating any ML/TF risks. The second line of defence rests with the compliance team, which is responsible for monitoring and reporting ML/TF risks. The third line of defence is the audit team (which can be internal or external), which is responsible for carrying out independent assessments of our procedures and controls.
Users of the Platforms (each a "User") agree to provide any information and/or documents reasonably required by us to comply with any applicable anti-money laundering or counter-terrorism financing laws including any applicable laws imposing "know your customer" or other identification checks or procedures that we are required to comply with in respect of its provision of services relating to our Platforms ("AML/CTF Laws"). The foregoing obligation applies only to the extent that such information and such documents are in the possession of the User or may be obtained by it after having undertaken reasonable steps and subject to any confidentiality, privacy or general law obligations owed by the User to any person in relation to whom the information or documents requested relate (except, in all cases, to the extent that the foregoing may be overridden by the relevant AML/CTF Laws). Each party must comply with any AML/CTF Laws applicable to it, to the extent required to comply with its obligations under the Terms. We may decline to perform any obligation(s) and/or perform any transactions to the extent that we form a view that engaging in such activity or inactivity is inconsistent with our AML/ CFT policy.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall be released from any confidentiality, privacy or general law obligations that we would otherwise owe you, where such release is necessary for us to comply with the applicable AML/CFT Laws.

APPENDIX
Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Financing of Terrorism Policy
We shall apply a risk-based approach to anti-money laundering ("AML") and counter-financing of terrorism ("CFT"), which involves an assessment of the money laundering ("ML") and terrorism financing ("TF") risks and adopting measures that are proportionate to these risks in order to mitigate such risks appropriately and more cost-effectively. The degree, frequency or intensity of AML/CTF controls will be more comprehensive for higher ML/TF risks.
We have appointed a point person at management level to address compliance with AML/CTF legal requirements. The first line of defence is the business units, which are accountable for mitigating any ML/TF risks. The second line of defence rests with the compliance team, which is responsible for monitoring and reporting ML/TF risks. The third line of defence is the audit team (which can be internal or external), which is responsible for carrying out independent assessments of our procedures and controls.
Users of the Platforms (each a "User") agree to provide any information and/or documents reasonably required by us to comply with any applicable anti-money laundering or counter-terrorism financing laws including any applicable laws imposing "know your customer" or other identification checks or procedures that we are required to comply with in respect of its provision of services relating to our Platforms ("AML/CTF Laws"). The foregoing obligation applies only to the extent that such information and such documents are in the possession of the User or may be obtained by it after having undertaken reasonable steps and subject to any confidentiality, privacy or general law obligations owed by the User to any person in relation to whom the information or documents requested relate (except, in all cases, to the extent that the foregoing may be overridden by the relevant AML/CTF Laws). Each party must comply with any AML/CTF Laws applicable to it, to the extent required to comply with its obligations under the Terms. We may decline to perform any obligation(s) and/or perform any transactions to the extent that we form a view that engaging in such activity or inactivity is inconsistent with our AML/ CFT policy.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall be released from any confidentiality, privacy or general law obligations that we would otherwise owe you, where such release is necessary for us to comply with the applicable AML/CFT Laws.
