Below, you (also defined as “Customer”) can read the terms and conditions (“T&C) that will constitute your investment agreement with Longship Invest ApS.
In your personal dashboard (“Dashboard”), the answers and information you provided during the registration process will be detailed. If you have any questions about the content, please do not hesitate to contact us.
1.1 Fiat Currency
“Fiat Currency” is used to describe an officially issued currency, such as USD, DKK, EURO, and others.
1.2 Cryptocurrency & Coins
The use of the term “currency” is originally used solely for familiarity. The use of “currency” is therefore not suitable for comparison with the so-called “Fiat Currency,” as explained above. These T&C will subsequently use “Cryptocurrency” and “Coins” as expressions for the Customer’s investment assets.
1.3 Risk Profile
The term “Risk Profile” refers to the Customer’s willingness to accept the risks with their invested funds, which inherently follows any trading, including the trading that Longship Invest will conduct on behalf of the Customer. The concept is also used by regular banks and investment companies, which often categorize their clients as “high,” “medium,” or “low” risk, or as “red,” “yellow,” and “green,” symbolizing the same.
In the context of Cryptocurrency/Coins investment, it will always be considered “high risk” or “red” according to these standards.
1.4 Coinify ApS
Coinify ApS is the partner chosen by Longship Invest for currency exchange between Fiat Currency and Cryptocurrency. Coinify ApS will conduct relevant investigations related to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing on behalf of Longship Invest, as well as on its own behalf.
1.5 Exchange
“Exchanges” are online platforms where Cryptocurrency is traded. They have similarities to traditional stock exchanges, but they exist solely for digital currency. It is not a traditional stock exchange. Longship Invest only trades on reputable exchanges with high security.
1.6 Wallet
A “Wallet” is a type of digital wallet that can be used to store, receive, and send cryptocurrency. There are many types of wallets, depending on the cryptocurrency one wishes to store. A Wallet has a public address, similar to an “account number,” and the address must be used when sending/transferring cryptocurrency to a specific Wallet.
