Risks

You as a Crypto-investec Client understand and accept the following risks in connection with using Crypto-investec Systems. In particular, but without being limited to these examples, you understand the inherent risks set forth above and hereinafter:

Regulatory Risks: Blockchain technologies allow new forms of interaction. It is possible that certain jurisdictions will apply existing regulations, or introduce new regulations addressing, on blockchain technology-based applications, which may have negative influence on the current setup of the systems and which may, result in substantial modifications to the/any cryptographic blockchain-based digital information units or any value which any cryptographic blockchain-based digital information units might have. crypto-investec and any of its affiliates intend to design, modify and/or adapt the crypto-investec System technology in such a way that financial market rules are either not applicable on any cryptographic blockchain-based digital information units and/or crypto-investec System technology or if financial market rules are applicable, crypto-investec will make every effort to always adhere to and to be compliant with any form of applicable regulation. Respectively within the regulatory risk category, including changes in the crypto-investec System technology with respect to such adaptions, amendments and re-designs may cause termination or the loss of any cryptographic blockchain-based digital information units or any value which any cryptographic blockchain-based digital information units might have.

Risk of blockchain mining attacks: As with any other public blockchain-based systems, the crypto-investec System technology may be susceptible to attacks including but not limited to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, “selfish-mining” attacks, and race condition attacks or any other mining or non-mining related attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to the crypto-investec System technology, expected proper execution and sequencing of cryptographic blockchain-based digital information units transactions and expected proper execution and sequencing of software computations.

Risk of depreciation in value/extreme volatility: As cryptographic blockchain-based digital information units are not widely regulated the value of cryptographic blockchain-based digital information units is assessed differently. The value of cryptographic blockchain-based digital information units in whatever form and any Token might experience extreme volatility and/or the value of cryptographic blockchain-based digital information units might decline to zero. As additional cost with respect to regulatory or other risks might be triggered – and if such cost are added for the purpose of calculation to the value of cryptographic blockchain-based digital information units (whatever value you might give to the cryptographic blockchain-based digital information units) – cryptographic blockchain-based digital information units might also decline in their value to zero.

General risk: There is no guarantee/warranty whatsoever on Tokens and/or the success of the crypto-investec System technology, expressed or implied, to the extent permitted by law, and that any Tokens are created and obtained at the sole risk of the crypto-investec Client on an “as is” and “under development” basis and without, to the extent permitted by law, any guarantees/warranties of any kind, including, but not limited to, warranties of title or implied warranties, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose;

You are aware that technology-based systems like crypto-investec Systems need maintenance work and development work and that for such work interruptions of the systems (planned and unplanned) are necessary and system immanent.

crypto-investec manages the crypto-investec Systems with due care. Nevertheless, systems for the exchange of Token combine various new fields of experimental technology and it is very likely that interruptions, failures and other problems occur. Neither crypto-investec nor any of its affiliates gives any guarantee with respect to finding solutions for any such problems as soon as possible. crypto-investec assume no responsibility other than to try to find solutions and therefore assumes no liability whatsoever for any damage caused by interruptions of a crypto-investec System because any such interruptions are immanent in an experimental field of technology.
