14.Risk Reminder
Automated cryptocurrency trading is inherently risky and speculative. You should carefully consider whether the Services are appropriate for you in light of your financial situation, investment objectives, and risk tolerance. Key risks include, but are not limited to:
Market Volatility Risk. Cryptocurrency markets can experience extreme and rapid price movements. No AI system can predict market behavior with certainty, and significant losses may occur suddenly.
Algorithm Risk. AI-generated trading strategies may perform poorly under market conditions that differ from historical patterns used to develop or test the strategy.
Technology Risk. System failures, network outages, software bugs, or connectivity issues may prevent the Platform from operating as intended, potentially resulting in missed trades or unintended positions.
Counterparty Risk. Connected Exchanges may suffer operational failures, hacks, insolvency, or regulatory actions that impair your access to or ownership of Digital Assets held on those exchanges.
DeFi Protocol Risk. Smart contract vulnerabilities, liquidity crises, oracle failures, and other risks are inherent to decentralized finance protocols. Funds deployed in DeFi positions may be subject to total loss.
Regulatory Risk. The regulatory treatment of cryptocurrency trading and AI trading services is evolving and uncertain. Changes in applicable laws may adversely affect the availability of the Services or the legality of your trading activities.
Leverage and Futures Risk. Use of leveraged strategies, futures, or options magnifies both potential gains and potential losses. Leveraged positions may be liquidated rapidly during adverse market conditions.
You should only allocate funds to automated trading that you are prepared to lose entirely.
