- Market Makers. The Company reserves the right to engage with Market Makers and to provide its Services to Market Makers.
- RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider and evaluate each of the following risk factors and all other information contained in these Terms of Use before using any of the Services.- An inherent risk exists that losses will occur as a result of buying, selling or trading anything on a market. You may increase or lose value in your assets at any time due to price volatility, especially in the crypto-currency market, and the potential loss in trading or holding Digital Currencies can be substantial.
- We do not guarantee that any Digital Currency will currently or in the future maintain a certain value or market liquidity, and you understand that the current value or price of Digital Currency can drop as low as zero at any point. You acknowledge that we also do not guarantee that you will be able to sell the Digital Currency to any third party.
- Historically, currency, and fiat money in particular, have been backed by banks and government entities, or backed up by commodities, such as silver or gold. However, Digital Currency is not regulated by any central bank or other government authority. Instead, Digital Currency is backed by technology and trust, and currently, there is no bank or government regulator that can take measures to protect the value of the Digital Currency in a crisis, issue more currency, or balance the price fluctuations.
- Digital Currency, when transferred, will be controllable only by the possessor of unique private keys relating to the addresses in which the Digital Currency is held. The theft, loss or destructions of a private key required to access Digital Currency is irreversible, and because the Company does not have access to those private keys, such private keys cannot be restored by the Company, and the Company will not be responsible for Client’s loss of access to its personal virtual wallet. Also, due to the nature of Digital Currency, any technological difficulties experienced by the Company could potentially prevent the access or use of a Client’s Digital Currency.
