Two methodologies are supported for providing terms and conditions to program customers.1. DocusignFor partners not set up to incorporate Anchorage Digital terms and conditions into their own onboarding flow. The RIA is provided a Docusign link to share with the customer for them to confirm review of and consent to the terms. See Terms and conditions via Docusign.2. Hosted termsThe preferred approach for partners, but requires legal sign-off on how terms are presented to customers. Terms do not need to be explicitly signed — they can be agreed to implicitly through a customer’s onboarding to the platform, provided access to the terms is appropriately presented. Docusign is not used in this model. Instead, the RIA must provide the version of terms presented to the customer and the date the customer implicitly agreed to those terms. See Hosted terms and conditions.
This configuration supports partnerships that use full or partial reliance models. No reliance is the assumed default. Setting up an RIA for a reliance model requires explicit legal sign-off.1. Full reliance — Document uploads are not required and KYC checks are skipped, moving directly to approval. Anchorage Digital relies on the partner to perform KYC.2. Partial reliance — Document uploads are not required at onboarding. KYB and individual profiles are submitted to Alloy; if Alloy returns approval, the application is auto-approved.3. No reliance — The standard KYC process applies.
