Elbaite shall not be liable for the transferring of cryptocurrencies to Buyers on the Elbaite Platform.
In the event a Seller sends the Cryptocurrency bought by the Buyer to the wrong wallet (not in accordance with the instructions provided by the Buyer):
In the event a Buyer provides the incorrect wallet information to the Seller and the Seller transfers the Cryptocurrency to the wallet in accordance with the Buyer’s instructions, the Seller will not be considered at fault and payment (AUD) will be released to the Seller.
If the value of the cryptocurrency sent by the Seller is less in value than what was intended by the transaction, Elbaite will request that the Seller send the balance in order for the payment (of AUD) to be released to the Seller. Payment will only be released to the Seller if/when the whole of the value intended to be transferred is transferred.
