AML/KYC Policy

Our AML Commitment

TalixTrade is operated by Anton Shchur, an Individual Entrepreneur (FOP) registered in Ukraine, at Dnipro, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine.

We take anti-money-laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism-financing seriously, and we want to be honest about what that means for a product like ours. TalixTrade is software — a bot builder, Smart Trade, signals, backtesting, paper mode, AI tools (Builder, Risk Manager, Optimizer, Assistant) and Auto-Hedge. We are not an exchange, bank, broker, custodian, or financial advisor.

Because of that, our role in the AML chain is limited but real. We are not a regulated financial institution or an "obliged entity" under anti-money-laundering law, and we do not operate a statutory AML program, file suspicious-activity reports as a regulated entity, or perform regulated transaction monitoring. We describe below exactly what we do, what we do not do, and what we expect from you.

This policy is not a substitute for individual legal advice.

What We Do

Within the scope of a software platform that never touches your money, we take the following measures:

• Email verification. Every account is tied to a verified email address so that we can identify the account holder for our own records and communications.
• Sanctions screening. We screen users against applicable sanctions and watchlists, including OFAC, EU, and UN lists, and we block service to sanctioned persons and restricted regions.
• Reviewing for clear abuse. We may review account activity and, where we become aware of clearly abusive or manipulative use (such as wash trading), we may pause, restrict, or close the account. We do not operate continuous financial surveillance and do not guarantee that we will detect any particular conduct.
• Record keeping. We keep reasonable records of account information, sanctions checks, payments, and relevant activity for as long as reasonably necessary for our legitimate business purposes and to respond to lawful requests, consistent with our Privacy Policy.
• Responding to lawful requests. If a competent authority lawfully requires us to provide or withhold information, we will comply with that order. In some cases the law may prohibit us from telling you that a request was made.

What We Do NOT Do

It is important to be clear about the limits of our role:

• We do not perform full KYC. We do not collect government IDs, proof of address, or other full identity documentation. Full "Know Your Customer" verification is done by your exchange (Binance, Bybit, OKX) when you open and fund your trading account there. That is where the regulated onboarding happens.
• We do not hold your funds. Your money stays on your own exchange account at all times. We never accept deposits, never withdraw from your exchange account, and never act as a custodian. We connect only through an exchange API key with withdrawal permission disabled.
• We do not convert fiat. We are not a money-services business or currency exchange. We do not exchange fiat for crypto or crypto for fiat. Our own paid plans are charged separately and described in our Terms of Service and Refund Policy.

User Obligations

By using TalixTrade, you confirm and agree that:

• You will not use the service to launder money, finance terrorism, or facilitate any other crime.
• The funds you trade with are legitimately yours and were obtained lawfully.
• You are not subject to, or named on, any sanctions list (including OFAC, EU, or UN lists), and you are not acting on behalf of any sanctioned person.
• You will not use the service from, or on behalf of anyone in, a fully restricted country or territory (see Sanctions Compliance below).
• The information you give us (including your email) is accurate, and you will keep it up to date.

If any of these stops being true, you must stop using the service and contact us.

Sanctions Compliance

We do not provide the service to users in fully restricted countries or territories, in line with applicable sanctions, including those of Ukraine, the European Union, the United Nations, and the United States (OFAC). These currently include:

• North Korea (KP)
• Iran (IR)
• Syria (SY)
• Cuba (CU)
• The Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine (including Crimea and the temporarily occupied areas of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson)

We may add or update restricted regions at any time to stay compliant. If we determine that you are located in, or acting for someone in, a restricted region — or that you appear on a sanctions list — we may suspend or terminate your access without notice and may be required to report it.

Sanctions rules change. It is your responsibility to make sure that using the service is lawful where you are.

Suspicious Activity Indicators

The following are examples of activity that may trigger review, restriction, or reporting. This list is illustrative, not exhaustive:

• Wash trading or other patterns of trades that appear designed to create artificial volume rather than to make a genuine market bet.
• Trading behavior that looks structured to disguise the origin of funds.
• Attempts to use the service from a restricted region, or to hide your true location (for example, repeated mismatches that suggest evasion).
• Use of multiple accounts in a way that appears intended to circumvent limits, screening, or a prior suspension.
• Connecting exchange accounts or making payments in a way that suggests third-party funds you are not entitled to use.
• Any other behavior that has no apparent lawful or economic purpose.

Detecting an indicator does not mean we conclude wrongdoing; it means we may look more closely.

Cooperation with Authorities

We will cooperate with lawful requests from competent authorities. This includes responding to valid court orders, subpoenas, regulatory requests, and law-enforcement requests that we are legally obliged to honor.

When the law allows, and when doing so would not undermine an investigation, we aim to limit disclosure to what is legally required. In some cases the law may prohibit us from telling you that a request was made or that information was shared.
