3. These Soft Staking Terms are supplemental to and shall be read together with the Binance Terms of Use available here (“Terms of Use”) and the provisions set out in the Terms of Use shall continue to apply. All terms and clauses contained in the Terms of Use (except to the extent expressly modified herein) are incorporated by reference and have the same force and effect as if set out in their entirety in these Soft Staking Terms. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Soft Staking Terms and the Terms of Use, these Soft Staking Terms shall prevail with respect to the services contemplated hereunder, unless expressly stated otherwise.

C. Disclosure and Consent
5. By Subscribing to Soft Staking you can earn Staking Rewards in exchange for providing Binance with access to your Soft Staked Assets.
6. Staking Rewards are neither guaranteed nor fixed and may vary from time to time. Despite the balance displayed in your Spot Account, your Soft Staked Assets are provided to Binance. Regardless of any notifications in your Spot Account concerning the Soft Staked status of your Digital Assets, you are solely responsible for periodically reviewing the [Soft Staking page] to understand which Digital Assets in your Spot Account are Subscribed to the Soft Staking Services. You must un-stake your Soft Staked Assets when you deem it necessary.
7. Your Soft Staked Assets will not be segregated from the Digital Assets of others that are Subscribed. Your Soft Staked Assets may be commingled in hot wallets and cold wallets with Digital Assets belonging to Binance Group Entities and clients of Binance Affiliates globally. You will not have a right to recover any specific Digital Assets.
8. The use of your Soft Staked Assets is not restricted under the Terms of Use. Soft Staked Assets may be used by Binance Group Entities in on-chain staking activities in a tightly controlled manner to generate On Chain Rewards. Binance Group Entities may, in their sole and absolute discretion:
a. stake your Soft Staked Assets in whole or in part;
b. act as a validator on an Applicable Network; and/or
c. delegate to other Binance Group Entities any voting rights that may be attached to your Soft Staked Assets.
9. Please refer to the risk factor statement for a summary overview of some (but not all) of the risks that may result from Subscribing to Soft Staking, including the risks that may arise from the use of your Soft Staked Assets.
10. No Binance Group Entity makes any representation or warranty that Soft Staking is appropriate (a) for any user or in any location, or (b) that the transactions and services described in these Soft Staking Terms are (or will continue to be) available or appropriate for any user or in any location. Binance does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Soft Staking Services or that it can correct all defects or prevent disruptions or authorised access. You are strongly encouraged to carefully review these Soft Staking Terms and seek independent professional advice as to whether Soft Staking Services are appropriate for you having regard to your personal circumstances and objectives, financial position and risk tolerance.
11. By accepting these Soft Staking Terms, you hereby unconditionally and irrevocably (a) confirm that you understand and accept any and all associated risks with your subscription to the Soft Staking Service including without limitation the risks described in the risk factor statement, (b) explicitly consent to, and grant Binance Group Entities all necessary rights for, Binance Group Entities using your Soft Staked Assets as described in these Soft Staking Terms and any associated risks, and (c) have carefully assessed whether, and determined that, Soft Staking Services are appropriate for you.
D. How to Participate in Soft Staking
12. By Subscribing to the Soft Staking Service, you can earn Staking Rewards in exchange for providing Binance your Soft Staked Assets. Binance will determine, at its sole and absolute discretion, the Digital Assets in your Spot Account that you can use in the Soft Staking Service. These Digital Assets, referred to as "Soft Staked Assets," may change at Binance's sole and absolute discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, by subscribing to this service, you explicitly agree and accept that Binance may select or remove the Soft Staked Assets in your Spot Account, and that these assets may be utilised as part of the Soft Staking Service.
13. Upon subscribing to the Soft Staking Service, you will be prompted to confirm:
a. your agreement to these Soft Staking Terms; and
b. your decision to subscribe to the service.
14. By proceeding with the subscription, you explicitly acknowledge and accept these terms and confirm your participation in the Soft Staking Service.
15. Please be aware that, irrespective of the balance displayed in your Spot Account, your Soft Staked Assets are provided to Binance for the purposes specified in these Soft Staking Terms. By participating in the Soft Staking Service, you acknowledge and accept that the assets designated as Soft Staked Assets are subject to the terms and conditions outlined herein, and may be utilised by Binance accordingly.
16. Soft Staked Assets will be treated as received when you subscribe to the Soft Staking Service, provided that Binance reserves the right, at any time time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion and without prior notice, to:
a. reject or remove Soft Staked Assets from the Soft Staking Service;
b. specify a minimum or maximum amount of Digital Assets required to Subscribe to Soft Staking Services;
c. specify, introduce, alter or revoke Subscription Limits that may apply from time to time; and/or
d. mandatorily redeem or otherwise return all or some Soft Staked Assets of any users.
E. Staking Rate and Staking Rewards
17. The Staking Rate is published on the Platform and may change from time to time as determined by Binance in its sole discretion. Binance may change this rate from time to time at its sole discretion.
18. Binance does not in any way represent or guarantee that the Staking Rate applicable at the time you Subscribe for Soft Staking Services or anytime thereafter will remain constant. The applicable Staking Rate may fluctuate up or down from time to time. You hereby acknowledge and agree that any representation, whether express or implied, regarding the possible rewards associated with Soft Staking Services, applicable or otherwise shown at (or after) the time of Subscribing to Soft Staking Services; (i) is an estimate based on observations of available on-chain reward rates, general market rates, as well as special rates during promotion periods and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, (ii) is not guaranteed in any way by any Binance Group Entity or indicative of future performance or rewards, (iii) is calculated based on the on chain rewards, risk analysis and profitability calculations available at the relevant time, which may change from time to time in the sole discretion of Binance, and (iv) is not in any way a form of advice, solicitation or offering for Soft Staking and should not be interpreted as such.
19. Changes to the Staking Rate will be published on the Platform from time to time. YOU MUST REFER TO THE BINANCE SOFT STAKING PAGE REGULARLY. NO BINANCE GROUP ENTITY WILL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY LOSSES ARISING FROM, OR CONNECTED WITH, CHANGES TO THE SOFT STAKING RATE OR STAKING REWARDS, WHETHER OR NOT YOU WERE AWARE OF THOSE CHANGES.
F. Calculation and Distribution of Staking Rewards
20. Staking Rewards start accruing in your Spot Account from 0:00 UTC the day after you Subscribe to Soft Staking Services. Staking Rewards will accrue on a daily basis and will be calculated based on the daily APR applicable at 00:00 UTC on the day on which the Staking Rewards are calculated and will be distributed to your Spot Account daily, the day after they accrue, between 04:00 UTC to 10:00 UTC. You will only earn Staking Rewards in respect of the Soft Staked Assets that are in your Spot Account. You will not earn or receive any Staking Rewards in respect of Digital Assets that are not held in your Spot Account. Binance will perform random daily snapshots of the Digital Assets held in your Spot Account. Your subscription amount in the Soft Staking services will be determined based on the quantity of eligible assets captured in such snapshots. Staking Rewards will be calculated accordingly and distributed to your Spot Account. Your distributed Staking Rewards will be automatically subscribed into the Soft Staking Services and will accrue Staking Rewards. To view the history of your Staking Rewards, please visit the [Soft Staking page], as the distribution history will not be displayed in your Spot Account.
21. Staking Rewards, and any calculations in relation to the Staking Rewards, are rounded down to 8 decimal places. Binance retains all On-Chain Rewards. This amount may be different from Staking Rewards.
G. Redemption of Soft Staked Assets
22. You may automatically and instantaneously redeem all or a portion of your Soft Staked Assets and accrued Staking Rewards through a Deployment in your Spot Account, subject to the availability of the Redemption Pool. Your Spot Account balance will display the amount of Soft Staked Assets you may choose to redeem in accordance with this clause.
23. In the event that the Deployment of Soft Staked Assets for use in your Spot Account is delayed in accordance with clause [22], you may be unable to utilise your Soft Staked Assets for between one (1) to fourteen (14) days following Deployment in respect of the relevant Soft Staked Assets. Please note that the exact processing times may vary.
24. Note that in certain circumstances, the conversion and subsequent delivery of Soft Staked Assets for Deployment in your Spot Account may experience delays, regardless of the balance shown in your Spot Account for the relevant Digital Assets. These circumstances may include, but are not limited to, extreme market volatility, network delays and outages, validator or protocol failures, a significant number of simultaneous conversion requests for the same Soft Staked Assets from other Binance users, or other unforeseen events.
25. Once you utilise your Soft Staked Assets for Deployment, you will no longer earn Staking Rewards.
H. Reporting and Valuation
26. You can access reports on your Soft Staked Assets and Staking Rewards on the Soft Staking page at any time. You will be able to view and download reports showing the amount and value of your Soft Staked Assets, as well as any subscriptions, withdrawals and distribution of Staking Rewards.
I. Termination
27. We may stop providing Soft Staking Services to you at any time at our sole discretion. Generally we will try to give you at least thirty (30) calendar days’ prior notice of such termination, but we may stop providing Soft Staking Services to you on significantly less (or even no) prior notice in certain circumstances including, for example and without limitation, if we are required to do so by Applicable Law or if your Binance Account is closed in accordance with the Terms of Use.
28. If we stop providing Soft Staking Services to you, there may be some circumstances in which you will not be permitted to retain Staking Rewards, including for example where you have committed a serious breach of these Soft Staking Terms or the Terms of Use, or where we are required to withhold the Staking Rewards in accordance with our policies or Applicable Law.
