You understand that El Dorado does not provide you with investment advice or consultancy of any kind, and is not responsible for the use or interpretation of the information provided by the Platform, nor is it an entity that directly buys or sells you the Crypto Assets, nor does it act as an intermediary in the foreign exchange market. You declare and acknowledge that you understand the risks inherent in operations with Crypto Assets.

How do you create an account and what implications does it have?

When accessing the Platform, you must fill out the registration form in all its fields, with valid and truthful data, in order to use all the Services provided by the Platform. The Platform may require, at any time, the information it deems necessary to verify the information provided. Your account will help you know the details of each transaction you have made and the balance of Crypto Assets you have.

Keep the following rules in mind:

  1. You will guarantee and be responsible, in any case, for the truthfulness, accuracy, validity, and authenticity of the personal data you provide. Likewise, you will be responsible for any harm, damage, or inconvenience caused by the provision of false, erroneous, and inaccurate information and you accept and acknowledge that the accounts created may be disabled or limited if El Dorado determines that incorrect, false, or inaccurate information has been provided.
  1. If your information undergoes any change that may affect any of the Services offered by the Platform, you must update it through the means provided for this purpose.
  1. Remember that your account is personal, unique, and non-transferable, and you will access it by entering the email registered on the Platform and the chosen personal security password, which you must keep completely confidential, since El Dorado will not be responsible for any loss or damage arising as a result of the insecurity of your account.
  1. Your account cannot be assigned or transferred to others.
  1. You commit to notifying El Dorado immediately, by suitable and reliable means, of any unauthorized use of your account, as well as unauthorized third-party access to it.

  1. False, incorrect, inaccurate, or erroneous information is found.
  1. You breach any of your obligations regarding the Platform.
  1. You engage in or participate in an illegal operation. In this case, we will notify the competent authorities of the irregularity presented so that the relevant actions can be initiated.

If your account is suspended, El Dorado will freeze your Crypto Assets balance until the reason for which your account was suspended has been resolved, and you can use them again when your account is reactivated.

El Dorado reserves the right to suspend any account that is under investigation for suspicious transactions until it conducts the relevant investigations, to safeguard the security of all our users.

If your account is canceled, suspended, or disabled, El Dorado will have a maximum of up to ninety (90) working days to send your Crypto Assets to an external wallet, on the corresponding networks, unless you have conducted an illegal operation, in which case you authorize El Dorado to freeze the Crypto Assets you have and deliver them to the competent authority. We clarify that you can only withdraw your Crypto Assets balance once El Dorado has deducted any amount you owe to other Users or to El Dorado as Consideration. For more information, see Annex A: Fund Interoperability Agreement.

Why do we validate your identity?

To create an account on the Platform, we will ask you to send us a photo of your ID and any other data that El Dorado deems pertinent, in order to ensure that all our transactions are safe and are executed with the people who claim to be. Through the Identity Validation process, we ensure that the person trying to open an account on the Platform actually exists and is who they say they are. At the same time, through this process, we ensure that the person trying to open an account has no link to illegal activities, and in this way, we prevent fraudulent transactions or that you can be instrumentalized to commit crimes.

Remember that the photo of your identity document is sensitive personal data and that in some cases, we will perform biometric processing on it. Therefore, you are not obligated to share it, but if you do not, we will not be able to validate your identity and you will not be able to access our services.

If you do not successfully pass the Identity Validation, you will not be able to access our Services, and if this happens, we will promptly notify you.

For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy, available here

What should I know about compliance levels?

El Dorado has established four levels of compliance, from zero to four, with the purpose of knowing its users. This process, commonly known as KYC (Know Your Customer), is used by financial institutions and other entities to verify the identity of their customers, making sure they really are who they say they are. This verification is essential to prevent fraud, money laundering and other illicit activities.

From level one, El Dorado begins to request the necessary information and documentation to operate on the platform, thus allowing the permanence and increase in the volume of transactions. Therefore, it is crucial that the user provides truthful and accurate information from the very beginning. Otherwise, he/she may face the impossibility of using the platform. In addition, when required, the user must present original documentation, current and preferably in good condition.

The user is obliged to comply with the transactional levels corresponding to each level of compliance of El Dorado. Without compliance with the established limits, no user will be able to advance to a higher level. For more information, please refer to Annex B.

What operations can you perform through the Platform?

On the Platform, you can sell and buy Crypto Assets in the P2P format, as well as simply send them to the wallets of other Users without receiving anything in return. In this section, we explain how:

  1. When you want to sell or buy Crypto Assets, you must first choose the Crypto Asset you want to buy or sell, according to the offer made by another User through the Platform, which you accept and acknowledge may vary at any time in terms of price, payment method, among others.
  2. Then you must choose the amount you want to buy or sell.
  3. Once these data are confirmed, the Platform will show you the price of the Crypto Asset you want to buy or sell and will show you the conversion of it to the fiat currency you want to use as a means of payment. You accept and acknowledge that the price may vary at any time.
  4. The Platform will ask if you are sure about performing this operation.
  5. Once you have confirmed it, a chat will open where you can communicate with the buyer or seller, as applicable, and finalize the transaction details.
  6. At this point, El Dorado will freeze the Crypto Assets subject to the operation, in order to ensure that the seller transfers them and the buyer pays for them in order to receive them.
  7. If you are the seller, once you have been paid, you must mark the transaction as paid so that El Dorado releases the frozen Crypto Assets. If you are the buyer and the seller does not mark the transaction as paid, you can write to us at the email address soporte@eldorado.io or other official customer service channels, in order for El Dorado to verify the information and proceed to release the Crypto Assets.
  8. Once the operation has been successfully completed, both Users will have the option to rate the counterparty.
  9. Finally, Users will see the new balance reflected on the Platform.
  10. You can have a maximum of 3 active orders simultaneously.

"Except from the moment when the offered price is accepted by one of the parties and the start of a transaction is formally confirmed, as the Platform temporarily blocks the tradability of the Crypto-assets and sets the price during the time span that elapses between the acceptance and the verification of the payment in fiat money."

For remittance operations, the process will operate in the same way, but without configuring a purchase and sale operation with payment of fiat money in exchange. In other words, the asset is simply sent free of charge to the wallet of another User, who can then choose to keep it in their

wallet, transfer it to another wallet they own, or finally, sell it to another User if they are interested in liquidating it and obtaining fiat money in return.

In the case of an exception, from the moment the offered price is accepted by one of the parties and the start of an operation is formally confirmed, the Platform temporarily blocks the traceability of the Crypto Assets and fixes the price during the time that elapses between acceptance and verification of payment in fiat money.

Remember that you can cancel the transaction until before you have paid or been paid. Once the transaction has been marked as paid, you cannot cancel or modify it.

If you cancel more than 3 orders, you will receive a message stating that you will not be able to trade for 24 hours.

El Dorado will not allow you to carry out transactions that exceed your available balance.

What should I consider when posting ads?

To post a purchase or sale ad on El Dorado, you must complete identity verification on our platform and have read and accepted its terms and conditions. With that in mind, these are the considerations to take into account:

  1. Respect and honor the publication price established in the ad.
  2. Always keep the negotiation within the platform.
  3. Be clear and concise with payment methods, as well as negotiation conditions.
  4. Maintain exchange rates that go hand in hand with market reality.
  5. Respect your counterparty during the negotiation.
  6. If the system or a user(s) cancels 3 orders due to Advertiser inactivity, all of the user's ads will be paused for 24 hours.

El Dorado reserves the right to remove or pause ads that it considers to be involved in fraudulent activities or that violate the stated considerations.

What do I have to take into account when publishing ads as a seller or market maker?

To post an ad for sale on El Dorado you must:

  1. Complete at least 5 transactions as a buyer.
  2. Trade with at least 3 different sellers or market makers.
  3. Have transacted a volume of at least 250 USDT.
  4. Reach compliance level 2 (See Annex B).
  5. If the system detects that an Advertiser has been inactive for over 12 hours, their ads will stop displaying until the user returns online. Ads will be automatically paused if the user hasn't shown activity in the application for 24 hours

Similarly, sellers or market makers will be able to use a filter within the application that will allow them in a discretionary way to filter with which other user to make a P2P transaction according to their level of compliance or KYC.

What is the dispute resolution criteria?

Users in El Dorado can activate the dispute process when they believe they disagree with a current operation.

When activating the dispute process, the user must communicate with the support team to inform them about it and explain their case.

The Dispute Resolution team will diligently request: payment evidence, static and/or moving screenshots, chat messages, and any other form of verification that allows the resolution of the conflict.

Resolution criteria for the advertiser:

  1. The advertiser paid correctly to the agreed account and with the instructions provided by the one who activated the dispute.
  2. The one who activated the dispute does not provide convincing evidence that they did not receive the payment.
  3. The one who activated the dispute did not respond.

El Dorado can resolve a disputed operation in favor of the one who activated the dispute if the following criteria are met:

  1. The advertiser has not made the full payment for the crypto assets.
  2. The advertiser sent a fake receipt.
  3. The payment was made without following the terms and conditions previously established by both parties.
  4. If a payment method is used that is not supported by El Dorado, or was not the one established in the exchange.

The information and evidence collection process for conflict resolution can take up to 48 hours depending on the complexity of each case.

If you disagree with the dispute resolution, you can appeal it by contacting via email at soporte@eldorado.io. You have a maximum of 3 business days to submit the information and evidence, likewise, the team will have a time of 10 business days to verify the case.

What if my withdrawal/deposit transaction is in review?

If your deposit or withdrawal through the blockchain appears with the status "Under Review" it is because El Dorado must investigate further about the transaction and you should contact us through the support chat so we can within the App follow up on your case. Some reasons may be:

  1. Errors with the corresponding blockchain provider.
  2. Internal errors with our App and should be reviewed in detail.
  3. Considerable risk levels with the origin or destination wallet.

What if the transaction is linked to a wallet with a considerable level of risk?

If your transfer is a withdrawal of funds to a wallet with a considerable level of risk, the Compliance department will proceed to request an Intensified verification process in which you will have to justify the origin of the funds. If the verification is approved, the withdrawal will proceed. If it is not approved, an external wallet without a considerable level of risk not linked to El Dorado will be requested to withdraw your assets.

Allowance and its Implications

The "allowance" refers to the maximum amount a user can move within the application in a calendar month. Any operation, whether it's a transfer, deposit, or offer creation, increases the allowance usage by the value of that operation. If a user closes an offer without completing it, the allowance will adjust by reducing the corresponding amount.

These levels and allowances are designed to ensure security and transparency in our operations, as well as to comply with current regulations.
