RISKS
Trading
Digital goods and products can be volatile in price, there are many technological risks associated with blockchain technology, and digital tokens can fail catastrophically, in addition trading volume is fairly low in most of these tokens, because of these and other risks, the worth of your tokens can increase or decrease in value within days.Just as importantly, when buying new tokens under new IBOs, reading the Private Placement Prospectus is critical. We list tokens on our platform per request from wine Producers that wish to list a particular wine by listing the token on our platform.
Software Cracking
We take extensive steps to defend our platform, including but not limited to storing user funds in multi-signature wallets, using FIPS certified Hardware Security Modules to create, store and use private keys, and implementing bad actor protections in all of our internal processes, eliminating single points of failure by eg. cryptographically requiring multiple actors for critical systems operations and preventing collusion between multiple bad actors via regular internal audits.
While that is said, it is never possible to make a system 100% secure, as a result of that, we do not represent or warrant that our platform is in any way impenetrable.
Unauthorized Account Access
We provide you with authentication methods to our platform, each of them come with security benefits and drawbacks, and while we try our best to protect you from them, we are not the kind of company to underplay them either. In particular, if your machine is compromised, there is not a whole lot we can do to protect you, because of this we urge you to stay up to date with security updates for your operating system, as well as your browser, (and software/libraries, in particular SSL/TLS if you are a developer), as we rely on these technologies to provide you a safe experience using our platform. To protect yourself when using machines you aren’t sure are secure, you should enable two factor authentication on your account from a device you trust.
While we take steps to defend you against risks, we provide no warranty of any kind, either explicitly or implied.
ELIGIBILITY
You warrant and represent that you are not a US citisen, or a resident of any other jurisdiction in which asset tokens exchange is regulated activity, and that you are more than 18 years of age.

Confidentiality
TERMS & CONDITIONS
Please read the following information carefully before using the Altiwineexchange.com (Alti) Website and Services (including any Alti account). By using the Alti Wine Exchange Website and Services you (as applicable, “you,” “Buyer” and/or “Seller”) agree to these Terms & Conditions and to the Alti Privacy Policy.
You must be at least 21 years of age to participate.
All purchases are final and bids and offers can only be retracted or cancelled by yourself.
Usage of the Alti Wine Exchange Website, including all information and content contained therein or accessed thereby, is subject to the following terms and conditions:
The wines described on the Alti Website are offered for sale by producers through a process of IBO. The wines listed are offered by Alti Wine Exchange as a marketing agent on behalf of the Seller. All items are sold in bond. Every attempt has been made to describe the wine as accurately as possible in the memorandum of the IBO. However, Alti Wine Exchange does warrant the accuracy of the descriptions, encompassing but not limited to vintage, provenance, and authenticity.
The wine industry estimates that between 3 and 7 percent of all wines sealed with natural corks are ruined because of a natural fungus in corkwood that produces the chemical compound trichloroanisole, or TCA within the cork. TCA has a distinctive odour resembling mouldy newspaper. In almost all cases of “corked” wine, the aroma of the wine is reduced significantly, and a heavily tainted wine is completely undrinkable. Since all of our wine is consigned, and much of it very rare, we cannot replace wines that have been ruined because of cork taint. We do not accept returns of corked wine nor do we refund for corked wine.
Title, Taxes and Delivery
Title. Title to, and ownership of, all wines passes to Buyer upon payment of the purchase price. Wines are deemed delivered pursuant to a direct shipping permit.
Taxes. For wines delivered to the EU, VAT taxes will be charged. To an international address taxes vary according to jurisdiction.
Delivery. Alti Wine Exchange may arrange for delivery to you for a fee from Bordeaux City Bond or make independent delivery arrangements. Buyer shall assume full responsibility for delivery expenses, including delivery costs, and packing. The Buyer is responsible for all duties and customs charges incurred.
