Rules for Verified Merchants
Merchants should always respond to requests in a timely fashion and offer good service to regular users. Merchants must never perform any kind of malicious or fraudulent acts or arbitrarily cancel orders. Good merchants should always ensure fast payment, fast release, high satisfaction rate, low cancellation rate and high completion rate.

1. Be responsible for your own orders, confirm the price and quantity of each order before posting them. When you must leave your operating device, please go offline or cancel the order in time. When re-posting an order, please check the current market price.
2. Please familiarize yourself with the regulations of various payment methods to be able to efficiently complete orders within the valid time.
3. When collecting money as a seller, please check the amount and KYC information in a timely manner, and release coins quickly. When paying as a buyer, please complete the transfer in time.
4. Feel free to contact customer service or file a complaint at any time when there is a problem or conflict.
5, Have a good sense of service. Always respond to requests in a timely, polite manner.

Inspections on Verified Merchants
Gate.io conducts inspections from time to time. If a verified merchant is found to violate the above rules, or users' complaints about a merchant's poor service, malicious or fraudulent behaviors are found to be valid, or when a user's card gets frozen due to a merchant's fault, Gate.io has the right to immediately remove the merchant's "Blue Check" badge.

Interest Protection Scheme for Frozen Funds in OTC Trading
Gate.io OTC P2P trading platform conducts the most strict KYC and deposit and withdrawal verification. Its "T+1" withdrawal scheme effectively helps block the inflow of illegal funds. As the first OTC platform in this industry to implement T+1, Gate.io provides users with maximum funds security.

Notably, some merchants may be trading on multiple platforms and might bring risks of other platforms to Gate.io. To further improve users' P2P trading experience on Gate.io OTC, we will provide an interest protection scheme in case of funds getting frozen. If OTC users' (not merchants') bank accounts are temporarily frozen during OTC trading on Gate.io, we will provide 5% annual interest for up to 180 days and 10,000CNY per person for eligible orders as a protection plan. Details of the interest protection scheme:

1. Only targets ordinary Gate.io OTC users with a "Blue Check" merchant as counterparty, excluding traders and merchants who conduct fiat currency transactions frequently.

2. Only targets users whose funds are frozen for half a year or more, excluding those whose accounts are unfrozen automatically after 3-7 days;

3. Users will need to have judicial authorities prove that their receiving accounts are frozen caused by merchants paying the user; or the judicial authority issues a writ to Gate.io for viewing order details.

4. The user's receiving account has been frozen for nearly 3 months, and the user is only conducting transactions on Gate.io's P2P platform, so that the possibility that the user's account is frozen caused by trading on other platforms can be ruled out;

5. Gate.io has verified that the payment account of the merchant was frozen by the same judicial authority, or other circumstances that can prove that the user's receiving account has been frozen for half a year or more caused by a Gate.io merchant paying actions.

For users meeting the above criteria, they can submit an application for interest protection for the period while the account is frozen. To apply, the user will need to provide the unfreezing evidence issued by the judicial authority or bank after the account is unfrozen
