yesterday I´ve received an email from Poloniex ([email protected]) - is this a legit email-adress?
Anyway that´s the content:
We recently updated our Poloniex User Agreement. We have also introduced a Cookie Policy and E-Sign Consent.
The new User Agreement will become applicable to your use of the Poloniex service on November 2, 2018 so please familiarize yourself with it before then.
The changes to the User Agreement are designed to provide you with greater clarity and certainty surrounding your use of the Poloniex services and form part of the Poloniex team's continuous effort to improve the performance of the exchange and to better serve our customers.
We greatly appreciate your support as we work to continuously improve the experience on Poloniex.

The Poloniex Team
Opening the hyperlink at "User Agreement" a loooong long page opens: https://poloniex.com/terms/ (Printing this would probably cost the nature a 100-yr-old tree.)
And now the introductional sentences came quite confusing to me:
THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT IMPACT YOUR RIGHTS ABOUT HOW TO RESOLVE DISPUTES. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.
The websites and the services offered by Poloniex (as defined below) are NOT addressed to persons who have their registered office or place of residence in China, Germany, Pakistan, the U.S. states of New Hampshire, New York or Washington, Vietnam or any other Restricted Territories as defined in Section 37.
Well, I do have a place of residence in Germany, does this new "User Agreement" tell us German residents that we will not longer be able to register "on or after October 18, 2018" as well as cannot use Poloniex´ services from November 18,2018 "If you signed up for Poloniex prior to October 18, 2018," ?
