Estonian company Atomic Systems, Atomic Wallet Cryptic Developer, appealed to the court with a request to reject the lawsuit and revise the place of filing the claims.

According to the company's statement, Based on the user agreement and the place of Atomic Systems incorporation, Consideration of a collective claim, Hacker $100 million, should take place in Estonia.

The requirement is justified by the one, that the Estonian company "has no connections with the USA", and her licensed agreement with the end user determines, that all court claims against the company can only be filed at the place of registration.

Atomic Systems also drew the attention of the court, that users' statements about Crypto -Activa compensation, allegedly lost due to the negligence, do not have legal force.

“The user agreement does not fix legal liability, According to which the cryptophyr takes on the obligations to maintain the security of Atomic Wallet and protect it from hacking. Earlier everything 5 500 Atomic users, Presumably affected by hacking, agreed with the conditions of service. They abandoned the requirements for possible losses due to the theft of crypto assets, And the amount of compensation limits the responsibility of Atomic Systems $50 on the user ", - says in the company's statement.
