For these reasons, coinsoftworks.com reserves the right to collect User identification information for the purposes of the AML/KYC Policy.
​
coinsoftworks.com will corroborate the authenticity of documents and information supplied by Users. All legal means for verifying identification information will be utilized, andcoinsoftworks.com reserves the right to investigate certain Users who have been determined to be hazardous or dubious.
​
