The Users can use CryptoWallet.com ’s Products and Services to buy, sell, and exchange digital assets, and these activities come with risks attached.

CryptoWallet.com is not responsible for losses or damages incurred when using our Services or any other Product. This includes losses or damages when buying, selling, or trading digital assets. Users are responsible for their own trading decisions, and CryptoWallet.comis not a financial advisor and should not be viewed as such, nor should any CryptoWallet.com literature or communications be considered as financial advice. The following is a list of some of the risks involved in trading digital assets: 

1. MARKET CONDITIONS

Digital assets are volatile and subject to significant price changes. It’s not uncommon to see prices for any given asset to move by over 20% in a single day. Digital assets are usually secured by blockchain technology, and it’s often impossible to reverse or cancel a transaction made on a blockchain network. Traders losing funds due to fraudulent or erroneous transactions may not be able to recover those losses. Blockchain networks can fall under attack from bad actors, impacting the price of their supported assets. Liquidity can also see sudden changes, and trading may be suddenly halted for digital assets for a wide number of reasons. Traders could potentially suffer losses due to incidents like system or software failures. 

2. LEGAL CONSENT

The legal and regulatory status of digital assets varies in different countries and jurisdictions. In some cases, state securities regulators have indicated that fundraising events such as initial coin offerings (ICOs) may be considered to be events in which the digital assets being sold constitute a security. This may expose traders to securities laws and regulations, and the sale of unlicensed securities may be found to be illegal in some areas. It’s possible that regulations introduced in the future may expose ICO customers to retroactive legal action against them. Users are responsible for understanding the regulatory climate surrounding digital assets and how that climate may impact them as individuals.

3. Taxation

Users should research how cryptocurrency transactions are taxed in their relevant jurisdictions. Crypto is often viewed as property and subject to capital gains tax in certain countries and locations, but different jurisdictions have different tax guidelines and definitions when it comes to crypto and digital assets as a whole. Users are responsible for their own taxes. 

4. THIRD PARTIES

CryptoWallet.com works and is partnered with various third parties including payment providers, digital identification verifiers, financial institutions, regulators, and other parties. Any losses incurred from actions or conditions regarding these parties are not our responsibility. 

5. RISK STATEMENT AWARENESS
