What Terms Must You Agree to Before Registering on OKX?
When registering, you must agree to a document called the User Service Agreement (also referred to as Terms of Service or Platform Agreement), along with the accompanying Privacy Policy. These two are the foundation that no new user can bypass. Additionally, when using specific features such as futures or margin trading, separate dedicated agreements must be signed.

1. Core Documents That Must Be Agreed To: User Agreement and Privacy Policy
What to do: During the registration process, clearly identify the two foundational legal documents you are agreeing to.
How to do it: In the OKX registration flow, after filling in your information and setting a password, you will reach the "Agree to User Agreement" step. The page will display a checkbox alongside links to the User Service Agreement and the Privacy Policy.
User Service Agreement: Defines the basic rights and obligations between you and the platform, including account rules, trading rules, platform liability limitations, prohibited behavior, and dispute resolution methods.
Privacy Policy: Explains how the platform collects, uses, and protects your personal information.
When is it considered complete: You have read the key clauses of the above documents, understood the core rights and obligations, and ticked the agreement checkbox.
This "tick" action is legally equivalent to signing an electronic contract and is legally binding. Do not skip it just to save time; pay particular attention to any bold or red-highlighted risk disclaimers.
2. How to Access the Full Agreements
What to do: After registration, you can always find the full text of the agreements to ensure you remain clear about the rules.
How to do it:
View directly during registration: On the registration page, next to the checkbox, click the blue hyperlink text (e.g., "User Service Agreement") to view it online.
View after logging in:
Web version: Log into the OKX official website, scroll to the very bottom of the page, and find the "Help Center", "Legal Notices", or "Terms of Service" link to view.
App version: After logging in, go to the [My] page, where you can usually find the "User Agreement" and "Privacy Policy" under the "Settings" or "Help Center" menu.
When is it considered complete: You know where to find the current full texts of the agreements and have confirmed that you can view the latest versions.

3. Additional Agreements for Specific Features
What to do: If you later need to use advanced features like futures or margin trading, you will need to sign additional dedicated agreements; the basic user agreement alone is not sufficient.
How to do it:
| Feature Type | Corresponding Dedicated Agreement | When to Sign |
|---|---|---|
| Futures Trading (USDT-Margined / Coin-Margined) | Futures Trading Agreement (clarifying forced liquidation, margin, and settlement rules) | When enabling the futures feature for the first time, the system will require you to read and agree |
| Margin / Margin Lending | Margin Trading Agreement (explaining borrowing interest rates and margin requirements) | When enabling the margin feature for the first time |
| Financial Products (e.g., OKP Savings) | Financial Product Description, Risk Disclosure Statement, Service Agreement | Before purchasing a specific financial product, confirmed separately on the purchase page |
| API Services | API Service Agreement (clarifying interface permissions and call limits) | When enabling in the API Management page |
When is it considered complete: You clearly know whether the features you currently use require additional agreements. If you only trade spot, only the basic user agreement is needed.
Risk Reminder:
Agreements may be updated: OKX may update agreements due to regulatory policies or business adjustments. When logging in after a change, the platform may require you to re-read and agree to the new version; do not simply ignore this.
Features cannot be used without signing: Without agreeing to the User Service Agreement, registration is impossible; without agreeing to the corresponding dedicated agreement, features like futures, margin, and financial products cannot be enabled.
How to confirm you have handled this correctly?
After completing registration, log into the OKX App or website. If you can find the current User Service Agreement and Privacy Policy under the [Settings] or [Legal Terms] section, and your account has passed basic KYC verification, it means you have completed the registration-related agreement confirmation. Next step: If you plan to use futures trading, be sure to carefully read the dedicated futures agreement and risk disclosure statement before enabling the feature.
