Do we provide financial information or investment advice?

Absolutely not. No event or content published and/or promoted through the Platform should be considered as financial information, financial service, purchase proposal, investment offer or investment advice. This Site and the ₿ Forum Plan are initiatives dedicated to the in-depth discussion, debate, risk awareness and study (e.g. through masterclasses) of the applications of Distributed Ledger Technology (“DLT”) (in particular, Bitcoin and Tether). Under no circumstances does the Site promote or support initiatives of participants or third parties that consist in the provision of financial services or investment proposals. We therefore disclaim any liability in this respect.

General Terms and Conditions

Binding nature of terms and conditions of use.. By using the Platform you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set out in this contract in the version in force at the time of individual access.

Obligation of prior consultation.. The conditions and terms of use change over time as the tools and content offered evolve over time. As changes are only published online, it is your duty to visit this page beforehand each time you intend to use the Platform.

Addressees.. The Platform and the services and products offered therein are intended for natural persons aged 18years old. By using the Platform, you confirm that you fulfil this requirement.

Services and products offered or advertised online.. The information published on the Platform regarding products and services of Altkey SA is purely indicative and is not binding, as it may not be updated. Furthermore, the published rates and prices do not constitute binding offers for the conclusion of contracts. If you wish to receive information, offers and/or binding quotations, please contact the customer service or make an online purchase.

Obligation to ensure the security of your devices.

No guarantee │ general exclusion of liability. We offer the Platform, and rather the Site and related resources (including our social media profiles), free of charge and without any guarantee as to the availability, usefulness, completeness, security and/or reliability of the tools offered and the content published. 

Although we carefully check the information published on the Platform, trying to avoid technical inaccuracies, omissions or spelling mistakes, we cannot guarantee, nor do we warrant, that the content published is always up-to-date, correct and/or complete. We therefore accept no liability for any gaps, errors and/or omissions of any kind and for any damages of any kind, particularly of a direct, indirect or incidental nature, resulting from reliance on the Platform and/or the use of its content, as well as for links to third party websites and/or resources (as they are outside the domain https://planb.lugano.ch) and for the use of their content. Your use of third-party websites and/or resources is therefore at your sole risk, as we have no control over such tools, nor do we carry out any verification and surveillance of them.

Obligation to inform us of changes to your personal data. By using our services, you undertake to inform us spontaneously and promptly of any changes concerning your data so that our records can be kept constantly up-to-date.

Obligation to ensure the security of your devices. You are obliged to protect your devices against by computer virus infections and undue access by third parties by implementing appropriate IT security measures (such as, in particular, anti-virus, firewalls and regularly changed complex passwords), as well as by adopting prudent online behaviour. The Internet itself is not a secure communication tool, and therefore data transmitted via the Internet can be intercepted as well as viewed, disclosed, modified and used by unauthorised third parties to cause technical failures. The security of normal e-mail messages is not guaranteed: messages can be read by third parties, lost, intercepted and altered in transit. In particular, the sender of an e-mail can easily be falsified, so that a communication from our company may not actually originate from us. In case of doubt, do not follow up on requests contained in the e-mail and contact us by phone. Do not provide any private or confidential information by e-mail (in particular, your password).

Intellectual property. We hold full and exclusive intellectual property rights to the Platform, its graphics, databases and content (text, images, photographs, etc.), as well as to signs and designations protected by law, and to registered (where indicated) and unregistered trademarks. Any use of protected material that is not supported by a legal or contractual licence for use is unlawful and will be prosecuted under civil and criminal law.

Hyperlink policy. Without prejudice to your right of revocation at any time, you have the right to share hyperlinks to our Site (including links to internal pages) and other online resources, provided that your use (cumulatively) (i) takes place outside of a competitive relationship with our company and its partners (including by way of example: the Municipality of Lugano, Tether and Bitfinex), (ii) is fair and in good faith and (iii) is in no way detrimental to the image of Altkey SA and its partners (see above) and/or their organs, managers and/or employees. The incorporation, in part or in full, of content from the Platform into other sites or online and/or offline resources is unlawful and will be prosecuted under civil and criminal law.

Third-party content and goods/services, links external to the Platform. The Platform incorporates links to sites, resources and goods/services external to our domain (“https://planb.lugano.ch”), for example in the field of hotels and catering. We have no control over these sites, resources and goods/services, nor do we audit and/or monitor them, and we therefore accept no liability in this respect, particularly with regard to the security and quality of the goods/services provided, the information and the protection of personal data.

Obligations and rules of conduct. By using the Platform, you undertake to use the tools and services made available to you (including e-mail, contact form, telephone number, social media profiles, newsletters, online portals, events, etc.) in a lawful manner, respecting our rights and those of third parties (including other users) and in accordance with this contract. In particular, you undertake to:

• refrain from any activity constituting banking or financial activities, e.g. in the form of financial information, financial service, purchase proposal, investment offer or investment advice;
• not transmit content that is unlawful, harassing, offensive, discriminatory, threatening, harmful, vulgar or otherwise inappropriate;
• not use the information contained therein to commit unlawful, fraudulent acts or acts violating the rights of third parties, including copyright and personality rights; 
• disclose personal data of third parties only with the prior express consent of the persons concerned, after having fully informed them about the personal data processing by referring them to our relevant notice (link);
• communicate up-to-date and truthful data and information, in particular when registering in the Personal Area and online portals dedicated to specific services;
• refrain from using and communicating to third parties any material outside the public domain produced by or concerning our company (including: correspondence, offers, technical information, contracts, recommendations, studies and expert opinions, papers, etc.) without our prior written authorization;
• not to use means of any kind, including software, to interfere or attempt to interfere with the operation of the Platform or to hinder the usability of the services by users.

User responsibility │ Indemnity. By using the Platform (including the purchase of tickets) you undertake to indemnify and hold harmless our company and its organs, managers and employees from any damage, prejudice and/or obligation, whether financial or moral, arising from your use of the Platform not in accordance with the law and/or this document.

Deletion of content and exclusion of users. We reserve the discretionary and unquestionable right to restrict, partially or completely, the access and/or use of the Platform to certain users, as well as to delete content without prior notice (including content posted on our social profiles), particularly where there are indications of potential activities or behaviour that do not comply with the law and/or this document.

Service interruption. Any liability in the event of a malfunction and/or unavailability of the Platform is excluded, in particular where this is attributable to external events (e.g. network service outages, malfunctions of your devices, cyber attacks, blackouts, etc.) or occurs as part of ordinary or extraordinary maintenance work. In the event of an emergency during periods of temporary unavailability of the Platform, please contact us by telephone or email.
