Services Description
Skailenga provides regulated Virtual Asset Services,
enabling the User to perform various lawful operations
involving supported Cryptocurrencies via the Website,
including but not limited to the exchange, deposit,
withdrawal, and safekeeping of Cryptocurrencies, as well as
Fiat Payments where applicable.
Skailenga retains the exclusive right, at its sole discretion,
to determine the scope, availability, functionality, and specific
features of the Services. Skailenga may, without prior notice,
modify, limit, suspend, or terminate any part of the Services,
including but not limited to specific features, supported assets,
or access conditions, in accordance with applicable legal and
regulatory requirements.
Skailenga also reserves the right to introduce new Services or
discontinue existing ones at any time. Any updates, changes,
or new features that enhance or modify the current Services shall
be governed by these Terms and subject to any applicable regulatory
approvals. While Skailenga strives to provide reliable and accurate
information, the materials and data presented through the Services
may contain technical, typographical, or content-related inaccuracies.
Skailenga does not warrant or guarantee the completeness, accuracy,
or timeliness of any information provided through the Services.
Skailenga may update or amend the materials at any time, without
an obligation to notify the User of such changes or to maintain
current content. The use of any new Services launched by Skailenga
after the acceptance of these Terms shall be subject to these
Terms and Conditions, as updated from time to time.
Wallet Services
The Wallet Services allow Users to receive, store, and send
supported Cryptocurrencies through a digital wallet
associated with their Account. This service is regulated in
accordance with MiCA and applicable Lithuanian legislation
governing the provision of virtual asset custody and
safekeeping services.
Skailenga securely stores and manages the private keys associated
with the User’s Wallets. These private keys are encrypted and
held in secure, access-controlled environments under the exclusive
management of Skailenga, and are not shared with Users or third
parties. While Skailenga employs industry-standard security protocols
and operational resilience measures to protect User Wallets and
associated assets, the User acknowledges and accepts the inherent
risks associated with the use of digital wallets and Cryptocurrencies,
including potential cybersecurity threats and market volatility.
Withdrawals and Deposits
In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) and Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 on Digital Operational Resilience (DORA), Skailenga enables Users to deposit and withdraw supported Crypto-Assets via their Wallet accessible on the Website, subject to security, compliance, and operational risk management protocols established under applicable Lithuanian law.
Deposits
Users may deposit supported Crypto-Assets from digital wallets either owned by the User or held by verified third parties. Prior to initiating any deposit, the User is solely responsible for verifying:
- that the Crypto-Asset is supported by Skailenga;
- that the blockchain network selected for the deposit is compatible with the platform.
Deposits sent via unsupported networks or involving
unsupported assets may result in the irreversible loss of
funds, and Skailenga shall not be liable for any such
incidents. These deposits may not be recoverable and
Skailenga will not provide compensation under any
circumstances.
In accordance with DORA’s requirements for ICT risk management
and MiCA’s rules on safeguarding client assets, all inbound deposit
transactions are subject to automated and/or manual verification
processes, including transaction monitoring, chain analysis,
and potential temporary holds for further due diligence.
Withdrawals
Users may initiate withdrawals of supported Crypto-Assets from their Wallet to a blockchain address of their choosing. The User bears full responsibility for:
- ensuring that the address to which funds are withdrawn is accurate, valid, and under the User’s control;
- verifying that the withdrawal destination is compatible with the selected Crypto-Asset and blockchain;
- maintaining a sufficient Wallet balance to cover the withdrawal amount and all applicable network and service fees.
Skailenga disclaims all liability for any direct or indirect losses resulting from errors or omissions in the provided withdrawal information, including incorrect or mistyped addresses, or insufficient funds. In line with DORA’s operational resilience principles, the platform may suspend or delay withdrawals in cases of suspected fraudulent activity, security threats, system failures, or maintenance events.
All deposits and withdrawals are logged and monitored in real time to detect abnormal activity and ensure compliance with MiCA, DORA, AML/CFT regulations, and supervisory expectations set by the Bank of Lithuania.
Exchange Service
Skailenga provides Users with access to an Exchange Service, enabling the exchange of supported Crypto-Assets for supported Fiat currencies and vice versa, as well as conversions between different supported Crypto-Assets. All exchanges are subject to the prevailing Conversion Rate determined and displayed by Skailenga at the time the Order is placed.
In compliance with Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) and Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 on Digital Operational Resilience (DORA), Skailenga implements robust internal controls and operational resilience mechanisms to ensure the integrity, availability, and continuity of the Exchange Service.
To purchase Crypto-Assets using Fiat currency, the User shall receive a formal invoice issued by Skailenga, specifying the total payable amount in Fiat. The invoice must be settled in full within ten (10) calendar days of issuance. Failure to settle the invoice within this timeframe will result in the automatic cancellation of the purchase request. Skailenga reserves the right to amend this payment window in accordance with its risk-based policies and regulatory obligations.
Upon successful receipt and confirmation of the User’s payment, and subject to standard fraud screening and compliance checks, the transaction will typically be processed within minutes when using supported instant payment methods, such as credit or debit cards. However, Skailenga does not guarantee processing times and shall not be held liable for any delays resulting from external factors such as third-party payment processor disruptions or ICT-related incidents.
The purchased Crypto-Assets will be credited exclusively to the User’s designated Wallet hosted within the Skailenga Platform. Skailenga does not support the direct crediting of external wallet addresses for initial purchases, in order to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) obligations under Lithuanian law and MiCA.
Proceeds from the sale of Crypto-Assets will only be transferred to bank accounts that are owned and verified by the User, as part of Skailenga’s commitment to secure operations and user authentication standards under DORA. Transactions involving unidentified or third-party accounts are strictly prohibited and may be rejected without prior notice.
Skailenga may suspend or restrict access to the Exchange Service where required to comply with sanctions regulations, fraud detection rules, technical maintenance, or supervisory requirements imposed by the Bank of Lithuania or other competent authorities.
Orders
Skailenga undertakes to make all reasonable efforts to
ensure the timely and secure processing of all valid Orders
submitted via the Platform. In accordance with the
applicable regulatory obligations under Regulation (EU)
2022/2554 on Digital Operational Resilience for the
Financial Sector (DORA) and Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on
Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), Skailenga maintains
operational and security measures designed to protect the
integrity, availability, and resilience of its ICT systems
and to manage operational risk. The User acknowledges and
agrees that Order processing times may vary depending on
factors beyond Skailenga’s control, including but not
limited to blockchain network congestion, delays by
financial institutions, third-party service interruptions,

are met:
i. Skailenga has transferred the purchased Crypto-Asset to the
User’s designated wallet address (in the case of a buy order);

to the User’s designated and verified bank account (in the case
of a sell order);
iii. The User has received the specified Crypto-Asset in their
wallet;
iv. The Crypto-Asset has been successfully transferred to the
public blockchain address specified by the User.
Skailenga does not guarantee the execution or acceptance of any
particular Order and reserves the right to delay or reject Orders
at its sole discretion. In such cases, the Company may notify
the User without being under a strict obligation to do so, particularly
when required to fulfill regulatory obligations such as transaction
monitoring, fraud prevention, or system maintenance under DORA
and MiCA.
The User agrees that Skailenga shall not be liable for any direct
or indirect losses or damages resulting from:
i. inaccuracies, delays, or interruptions in price data for Crypto-Assets;
ii. ICT failures, system outages, transmission errors, or cyber
incidents;
iii. reliance on incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate information
presented on the Platform.
Where an Order fails or is reversed due to the User
providing inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete
information—including, without limitation, third-party bank
account details, unverified wallet addresses, or data
errors—any and all associated costs, administrative charges,
or processing fees shall be borne solely by the User.
Skailenga retains the right to temporarily suspend, freeze,
or withhold funds (whether in Crypto-Assets or Fiat) in
cases of:
i. suspected fraud or malicious activity;
ii. potential breach of regulatory obligations under MiCA or
other applicable laws;
iii. internal reviews concerning cybersecurity events, including
hacking, phishing, or use of malicious scripts.
Following the completion of an internal investigation and upon
written request by the User, withheld funds may be returned to
the original source of payment, subject to verification procedures,
transaction review, and applicable security measures, in compliance
with data protection and anti-money laundering requirements.
Transaction Limits and KYC Requirements
Skailenga implements transaction limits in accordance with the User’s Know Your Customer (KYC) verification level and other risk-based factors, as part of its obligations under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA) and Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 (DORA). These measures ensure the protection of users and the resilience of our operations against financial crime, fraud, and cyber risks.
The applicable transaction limits are expressed in both Crypto-Assets and Fiat currencies, converted into an equivalent amount in euros (EUR) using the applicable exchange rate at the time of the transaction. The limits are assigned based on the KYC level achieved by the User and are publicly disclosed on the Skailenga Website.
Should a User exceed the assigned transaction limit, the transaction may:
- Be automatically declined, Trigger an internal review and request for additional information or documentation (e.g., source of funds or wealth),
- Be subject to enhanced due diligence procedures, as required under the AML/CFT framework.
Skailenga retains the right to approve or reject such transactions at its sole discretion, based on the overall risk assessment of the transaction and the User profile.
Revocation or Amendment of Orders
The User acknowledges that once an order is submitted, it may enter into an execution process that is dependent on the operational capacity and processing times of Skailenga’s systems. In accordance with MiCA obligations for transaction finality and operational integrity, orders are binding once accepted into the system, particularly in volatile markets.
To request a revocation or amendment of an order:
- The User must submit a written request through the ticket system available on the Website or via email to [email protected], using the verified contact email provided to Skailenga.
- The request must include the transaction ID, full details of the amendment or revocation, and the reasons for the request.

- Additional KYC or transactional documents,
- Approval by Skailenga’s Compliance Department.
All requests for revocation or amendment are subject to Skailenga’s sole discretion, and administrative fees may apply if the request is approved.

provisions and DORA’s operational resilience standards.
To request a refund:

Skailenga will:

During the investigation of a chargeback claim, Skailenga
reserves the right to suspend the User’s account and place a

Wallet to prevent further transactions until the
investigation is concluded.
This process does not affect any statutory rights the User may
have with their bank or under applicable consumer protection
laws. However, fraudulent chargeback claims may lead to account
termination and may be reported to the relevant financial authorities
in accordance with Lithuanian law and European regulatory obligations.
