Reverse Solicitation Notice

Last updated: 11 June 2026.

This Notice describes the basis on which Next Solutions Corp may, exceptionally, provide the Exchange Services to a person located in the European Economic Area (the "EEA"). It supplements section 4.2 of the Terms and Conditions.

If you are not in the EEA, this Notice does not apply to you. The Exchange Services are not available to persons located in the United Kingdom under any circumstances, including on a reverse-solicitation basis.

1. We do not target the EEA

Next Solutions Corp is a Canadian Money Services Business. We operate out of Canada and we are not authorised in the European Economic Area as a crypto-asset service provider under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCAR) or under any national regime that survived into the MiCAR transitional period.

We do not:
- run advertising campaigns directed at the EEA;
- buy keywords associated with EEA languages or regions;
- engage influencers or affiliates targeting EEA audiences;
- pursue partnerships with EEA firms to acquire customers; or
- localise the Website or any marketing material into national languages of the EEA.

The fact that EEA fiat currencies may be listed as supported currencies on the Platform is a function of the underlying payments infrastructure and does not constitute an offer of the Exchange Services in those regions.

United Kingdom. We are not on the Financial Conduct Authority register of cryptoasset firms and we are not authorised to communicate financial promotions in the UK. We do not provide the Exchange Services to persons located in the United Kingdom on any basis, and the reverse-solicitation exception described in this Notice does not extend to the UK.

2. What "reverse solicitation" means in this context

"Reverse solicitation" (sometimes called "reverse enquiry") means that the customer has approached the service provider on the customer's own exclusive initiative, without any direct or indirect prompting, solicitation, marketing, advertising, referral incentive or other inducement from the provider or from a person acting on the provider's behalf.

MiCAR recognises reverse solicitation as a narrow exception in respect of the EEA. The exception is case-by-case and applies to specific services the customer asked about; it does not authorise an ongoing, open-ended relationship and it does not authorise the provider to upsell other services without renewed reverse-solicitation.

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has stated that reverse solicitation is to be interpreted strictly and that proving reverse solicitation rests on the firm. The mere fact that a person clicks "I confirm" on a website disclaimer is not, by itself, sufficient.

We treat the exception with the seriousness it requires.

3. How access from the EEA works in practice

If you are located in the EEA and you wish to use the Exchange Services, the following applies:

1. You initiate. You must come to the Platform on your own. We will not have prompted you. If you have arrived because of an advertisement, an influencer, an affiliate, a search-engine listing in your local language or anything similar, then the reverse-solicitation basis does not apply and we cannot agree to provide the Exchange Services to you.

2. On-entry disclaimer. On entering the Website you are presented with the disclaimer described in section 4.2 of the Terms (the "Important Notice"). You must read it and confirm each statement in it. Closing the Important Notice without confirming, or selecting "I do not confirm", routes you away from the Platform.

3. Onboarding. Onboarding includes the standard KYC and sanctions checks described in the AML and KYC Policy. At onboarding we ask EEA applicants to record, in writing, how they came to approach us. We may decline to proceed without giving reasons.

4. Each Order is reviewed. Each Order from a customer located in the EEA is reviewed by our compliance team. Where the review reveals a basis to suspect that the customer was solicited (directly or indirectly), or that continuing the relationship would conflict with our risk appetite, we will decline the Order and may close the Account.

5. No ongoing-relationship presumption. Each Order stands on its own. The fact that we processed one Order from you under reverse solicitation does not commit us to processing any further Orders, and does not permit us to offer you other services we have not been asked about.

We retain records of the confirmations in section 2 and of each compliance review under section 4 for the period required by Canadian law and we can produce them to regulators on request.

4. What you take on by relying on reverse solicitation

By using the Exchange Services on a reverse-solicitation basis you acknowledge that:
- we are not authorised in your region;
- you do not have the protection of MiCAR or of any national investor-protection, consumer-protection or compensation scheme in the EEA;
- your only redress is through the Complaints Policy and, ultimately, through the courts of Ontario as provided in the Terms;
- the regulatory position in your country may change, and a future rule change may require us to stop providing the Exchange Services to you entirely; and
- nothing in our acceptance of an Order on a reverse-solicitation basis is, or should be construed as, marketing, advertisement or financial promotion in your country.

You also acknowledge that your local law may treat your use of the Exchange Services differently from our provision of them. We do not give legal advice. You are responsible for understanding the position under the law of your country and for complying with it.

5. When we will say no

We will refuse to onboard you, or to process a specific Order, under the reverse-solicitation basis where:
- we have a reasonable indication that you arrived at the Platform through an advertising, referral or affiliate channel that reached you in your country;
- we cannot satisfy ourselves that the contact was genuinely on your own initiative;
- onboarding you or processing the Order would conflict with Canadian sanctions law or with our risk appetite;
- your country's authorities have indicated a hostile position to reverse-solicitation reliance for crypto-asset services and we judge the regulatory risk to be unacceptable; or
- any other ground in section 7.4 of the Terms applies.

We are not required to give reasons.

6. What this Notice is not

This Notice is not an offer of the Exchange Services to the EEA. It is a description of the limited circumstances in which we may accept a request from a person located in the EEA. The publication of this Notice does not constitute marketing, advertisement, financial promotion or solicitation in any country.

7. Contact

If you are an EEA customer and you have questions about this Notice or about how it applies to a specific Order, write to compliance@nextsolutionscorp.com. Do not rely on social-media or other unofficial channels.
