4.4 You understand and agree that, by placing an Order to an Advertisement, that represents your acceptance of the offer published in that Advertisement and constitutes a promise to trade Digital Assets. In such circumstances, OKX locks the amount of Digital Assets indicated in the Order until both parties of the transaction confirm successful completion of the fiat currency transfer to be performed in consideration of the Digital Assets. You understand and agree that the locked amount of Digital Assets cannot be used in any way whatsoever unless the Order is cancelled or the Digital Assets are released to the Buyer upon confirmation of the fiat currency transfer to the Seller.
4.5 You understand and agree that OKX is not a party to any transaction in the P2P Service that you may enter into on P2P Service at OKX Platform, and that you will be directly trading with other Users. OKX does not have any control over the trading amount, price and payment method, Order Limit, Payment Window, other terms and conditions of each Advertisement, among other things, as they are controlled and managed by the Advertiser at its own discretion. OKX only serves as a facilitator in any transaction conducted by Users via P2P Service at OKX Platform and therefore OKX does not guarantee, represent, or make any promise to any element relating to completion of any transaction.
4.6 Experienced Advertisers with frequent trading activity via P2P Service on OKX Platform and a high Order completion rate may submit an application to become a Verified Advertiser and benefit from certain advantages when trading at OKX Platform. Verified Advertisers shall be subject to OKX P2P Verified Advertisers Service Agreement from time to time. You may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions so as to be able to complete your registration as a Verified Advertiser, if such is available at your jurisdiction.
4.7 Payment Methods
(a) Payment methods available on the OKX Platform are displayed as options available to Users to perform the fiat currency transfer in consideration of the trade of the Digital Assets under the Service. Unless expressly provided otherwise, OKX does not have any form of relationship with the payment methods listed on OKX Platform. Availability of a payment method on OKX Platform shall not be construed as a recommendation, vetting or endorsement by OKX.
(b) To be able to trade via P2P Service, each Advertiser must indicate one or multiple payment method(s) for their Advertisements, which must be a payment method available under the Service at OKX Platform allowing other Users to place an Order to such Advertisement. Such payment methods shall be agreed between the Advertiser and the other User who wish to complete a transaction by using one of the payment method(s) indicated by the Advertiser for the fiat currency transfer to be completed in consideration of the trade of the Digital Assets.
(c) Each party trading via P2P Service must have a payment method with an account owner name that is identical to the name appearing on their OKX Account, as confirmed during the identity verification process. It is prohibited to use any payment method where the account owner name is not identical to the name appearing on your OKX Account. OKX reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the P2P Service or any other services provided by OKX if it is identified that you used a payment method with an account owner name that is not identical to the name appearing on your OKX Account.
(d) You understand and agree that by placing an Order to an Advertisement either as a Buyer or a Seller, you authorise OKX to display your username/ merchant name and share your full name as confirmed in the identity verification process of your OKX Account with the counterparty User that you are trading with.
(e) If you are a Buyer, you are required to make the fiat currency transfer in consideration of such Digital Assets after placing an Order within the Payment Window indicated in the Advertisement. The Fiat Currency to be transferred to the Seller will not be deducted by OKX, you are solely responsible for making the transfer yourself outside of P2P Service, using one of the payment methods indicated in the Advertisement. Once you complete the fiat currency transfer, you are required to confirm such transfer by clicking the “Payment completed” button. You may lose access to all or part of P2P Service in case you repetitively cancel Orders after placing them or in case your Orders are repetitively getting cancelled automatically due to your failure to make fiat currency transfer within the Payment Window. OKX reserves its sole right to suspend or terminate any user’s access to P2P Service in its sole discretion. For details, please refer to: What are the rules for P2P order cancellation?
(f) If you are a Seller, you are solely responsible for verifying the fiat currency transfer made by the Buyer in consideration of the Digital Assets and for providing instruction to OKX to release the Digital Assets for which an Order was placed. To release such Digital Assets, you should click “Release Crypto” after you fully receive the fiat currency payment from the Buyer. We recommend you to confirm the release of Digital Assets within fifteen (15) minutes, and in any case within a reasonable period of time upon receiving the fiat currency payment from the Buyer in full. By clicking “Release Crypto” you are confirming that you successfully received the fiat currency transferred from the Buyer and you are instructing OKX to release Digital Assets held in escrow to the Buyer for completion of the Order. This action is final and cannot be reversed. To avoid financial loss, do not confirm release of the Digital Assets under any circumstances before you ensure that you received from the Buyer the corresponding fiat currency in full. All payments are final upon completion, unless otherwise required by law. In case the account holder information of the Buyer that you see on the payment method through which the fiat currency transfer was made is inconsistent with the User’s verified identity information appearing on OKX, you should not release the Digital Assets and make a refund of any fiat currency that you may have received. You may lose access to all or part of P2P Service in case you repeatedly fail to confirm release of Digital Assets in a timely manner despite receipt of the fiat currency transfer from the Buyer.
(g) By trading on OKX Platform via P2P Service, the Buyer agrees to bear any Transfer Fees that may be charged by the respective payment service provider for the payment method selected by the parties for the fiat currency transfer to be made in consideration of the Digital Assets, unless the Seller has explicitly agreed to bear such additional fees or costs. Therefore, the fiat currency to be transferred by the Buyer as consideration of the traded Digital Assets must be inclusive of any Transfer Fees to ensure that the Seller receives the full fiat currency amount as appearing in the Order (e.g. if the order amount is 10,000 USD, and an additional 5 USD is charged by the payment service provider of the selected payment method, 10,005 USD should be paid by the Buyer, instead of 10,000 USD). In case such Transfer Fees are charged by the respective payment service provider to the Seller, the Seller should clearly disclose them in the Advertisement (if the Seller is the Advertiser) or provide the Buyer with proof of such Transfer Fees. There may be fees charged by payment service providers including but not limited to banks, e-wallets when there is a payment of fiat currency transferred between the parties, and the parties agree to bear such fees to their respective service providers at their own costs.
4.8 You may be subject to a waiting period up to 15 days to withdraw the Digital Assets that you purchased via the Service at OKX Platform in case you have been trading with certain fiat currencies, as may be determined by OKX in its sole discretion. The waiting period shall start upon the release of the Digital Assets to you. Any other trading activity you may perform with your OKX Account will not be affected during the withdrawal waiting period.
4.9 OKX reserves the right to charge a Service Fee for processing any transaction via P2P Service at OKX Platform. Payment service processor may also charge for Transfer Fee when processing a fiat currency payment for any transaction between Buyer and Seller under this P2P Service. Such Service Fee and Transfer Fee, if applicable, shall be published on the OKX Platform, and may be modified by OKX, from time to time.
4.10 You will be able to view your account history on the OKX Platform. You must review your account history carefully and let OKX know if you see any entries or transactions that you do not recognize or you think are incorrect as soon as possible. OKX may rectify any error in your account history at any time, and reserve the right to void or reverse any transaction:
(a) involving or deriving from a manifest error (that is, any error, omission, or misquote (whether an error of OKX or any third party) which is manifest or palpable, including a misquote by any representative of OKX taking into account the current market and currently advertised quotes, or any error of any information, source, official, official result or pronunciation); or

4.12 As OKX is not a party to the transaction or trade between the Buyer and the Seller, OKX has neither the right nor the obligation to resolve any dispute between the Buyer and the Seller and is not liable for any loss that you may incur or suffer in connection with a complete payment. Having said that, purely as a gesture of goodwill, in case there is a conflict during a trade via P2P Service that the parties cannot resolve amicably, OKX may offer a channel or mechanism to facilitate the Buyer and Seller to resolve the dispute. OKX is in no way making any representation, undertaking or guarantee that it can resolve the dispute between the parties in a way that both parties shall be satisfied with but OKX is solely or merely providing a mediation channel. OKX reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to P2P Service or any service offered by OKX if any Users are uncooperative during this mediation process. You may lose access to all or part of P2P Service or any other service offered by OKX in case you repetitively post an Advertisement that attracts multiple disputes.

Whether to re-open or accept a case will be determined by OKX on a case-by-case basis and in its sole discretion.
4.13 You may be asked to rate and/or write feedback for a counterparty to share your experience in any transaction or trade under the P2P Service at OKX Platform.
