Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if there is a balance of legal currency or cryptocurrencies in the CRYPTO-OTC account after the termination of the service that we deem necessary, we may sell the cryptocurrencies in the account at a market price deemed appropriate by us at a designated time. If the user has a registered bank account, we may, at our discretion, refund Japanese yen to the bank account at the designated time after deducting withdrawal fees, if any. If the remaining balance is less than the fees for each transfer or withdrawal, we may charge fees up to the balance for each transfer or withdrawal.
