Virtual Currency Risk Warning
The intention of this Virtual Currency Risk Warning is to inform you on the significant risk of loss involved with transactions of trading or holding virtual currencies, as well as the limitations Coinify ApS (“we”) holds on the liability and indemnity of your actions with our services.
- Be aware that trading or holding virtual currencies carries significant risk. All currencies, virtual and fiat, may be subject to large swings in value, and may even lose their value completely. Virtual currencies are still developing, both technologically and financially, and therefore prices are volatile and fluctuate very dramatically within a short span of time. Virtual currencies are susceptible to pricing bubbles or loss of confidence which could lead to a sharp decline in demand, thus leading to a loss in value. This means you stand to either gain or lose your assets at any given moment. Therefore, you understand and accept that losses can and do occur–with the risk of losing your entire investment–when trading or holding virtual currencies.
- You should not deal with virtual currencies unless you fully understand the nature of the transactions you are entering into and the extent of your exposure to the risks. You should also consider with caution if the transactions you perform are suitable for you, your personal circumstances and your financial position.
- Virtual currencies also involve their own unique risks compared to other established currencies on the market. For one, virtual currencies are decentralized and remain unregulated by central governments or other legal entities, nor are they tied to any commodity of value, such as gold. Virtual currencies are built on technology with a trust-based, partially anonymous peer-to-peer network that still lacks the regulatory measures for protection and it relies on its cryptography for security. This means that by trading and holding virtual currencies, you will not be able to enforce any guarantees or safeguards expected with regulated financial services. Similarly, EU law currently does not offer direct legal protection from losses incurred from failure or disruption of our platform, failure or disruption of our integrated partner platforms, cyber-attacks, embezzlement of funds, business failure, asset forfeiture, scams, such as phishing websites, phony support or fake social media pages; nor are will you be granted any guarantees or safeguards for regaining access to your virtual currency accounts or holdings within these circumstances.
- Coinify ApS does not and will not provide any advice regarding your investments or purchases in relation to your transactions or trading strategy. You are responsible for your decisions made on our platform and we will not make any personal recommendations for your trading activity, or advise on the buying, selling, or overall trading in particular virtual currencies or performance of certain transactions related to our services; nor will we discuss any tax-related consequences, reveal the composition of accounts, or any other obligations relating to such transactions of trading and holding virtual currencies. You must use your own careful judgement when deciding to transact with our service and be completely aware that by doing so, you may incur losses that we are not responsible for.
- By entering into a transaction, you understand and accept the risks associated with dealing with an internet-based virtual currency service which include but is not limited to: operational interferences; failure or disruption of hardware, software or internet connection; threat or attack of malicious software; or unauthorized access of information stored on your Trade account or wallet. As with everything on the internet, there is a risk that your account or virtual currency wallet can be compromised by persons or organizations for malicious reasons. Depending on your wallet provider of choice, we cannot guarantee the option or possibility of insuring or claiming back any virtual currency funds lost in this manner.
- By trading virtual currencies, you understand and accept that you are at risk for not being able to trade or exchange them for fiat currencies for potentially long periods of time due to various reasons–both foreseen and unforeseen, therefore placing you at risk for incurring losses in the meantime.
- By utilizing our services, you understand and accept the risks associated with the involvement of a virtual currency network, which includes but is not limited to multiple known and unknown vulnerabilities within the network, including regular or irregular changes to the network protocol. Coinify has no control over any virtual currency network and therefore takes no responsibility for any harm caused by the risks these networks hold.
- Coinify does not take responsibility for loss, claims, or damages related to our services which include but may not be limited to: user error (lost passwords, provision of incorrect information, sending virtual currency to the wrong address), server failure, or data loss, corrupted pages on the Coinify platform, corrupted files from your wallet service provider, unauthorized access to our applications, unauthorized third party access and activities (including but not limited to malware, viruses, phishing, and other website attacks).
