Additional Services: DELCHAIN may also provide additional services on terms agreed in writing between you and DELCHAIN from time to time, which may include but not be limited to the management of your Digital Assets.

Further, the arbitrator shall have no power to issue any award that is contrary to or inconsistent with any applicable statute, case law or constitutional law, to modify, change or excuse performance of any material term of these Terms, or to award equitable relief.
