Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using FCX (Fathom) you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally allowed to trade digital assets in your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for complying with local laws. Access may be restricted from certain regions.

3. No investment advice

FCX provides a spot trading venue only. Nothing on the site is investment, legal, or tax advice. Digital assets are volatile; you can lose all funds deposited.

4. Accounts & custody

Balances are custodial ledger entries. Deposit addresses are generated for your account. You must send only the selected asset on the selected network. Wrong-chain or unsupported tokens may be unrecoverable.

5. Deposits & withdrawals

Deposits credit after required network confirmations. Withdrawals require Google Authenticator confirmation. Eligible withdrawals are then auto-approved for server payout. Processing times vary. We may delay, refuse, or reverse withdrawals for security, compliance, or suspected abuse.

You may withdraw your available ledger balance. Deposit fees, trading fees, and withdrawal/network fees are deducted when they occur and are reflected in that balance.

6. Trading & fees

Spot trading fees are charged on each matched side (currently 0.10% per side unless otherwise posted). Small flat deposit fees and withdrawal fees (network gas buffer plus a platform margin) also apply — see the fee schedule. Order books may include market-making activity. Community / privately listed tokens may have limited liquidity and higher risk.

Fathom is associated with Emberchain. Fees collected on trading, deposits, and withdrawals that settle to treasury are used to buy back FCX (the exchange token) and may support the Emberchain ecosystem. A future FCX airdrop will reward accounts with the highest trading volume.

7. Prohibited use

You may not use FCX for money laundering, sanctions evasion, market manipulation, hacking, or any illegal purpose. We may freeze accounts and cooperate with lawful requests.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Fathom / FCX and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, lost profits, or loss of digital assets arising from network failures, smart-contract bugs, user error, third-party services, or force majeure. Aggregate liability is limited to fees you paid us in the prior 90 days.

9. Changes

We may update these Terms. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. Material changes may be announced on the site.
