6. RISKS OF TRADING VIRTUAL ASSETS
-
Any kind of trading of virtual assets and virtual currencies involves significant risk. The value of virtual assets /currencies has high volatility (value can increase and decrease significantly in a very short period of time and at any given moment). Such price fluctuations bring uncertainty. The value of a virtual currency and collapse in demand may be influenced by many factors, including irrational (or rational) bubbles, loss of confidence in the virtual currency, changes in software development, government decisions, creation of a competitive currency, technical problems, political or non-political statements, statements of influencers and news and hacker-attacks. Your virtual assets may be lost by losing your password or other security codes.
-
There are also other potential risks that may not be foreseen in these GTC or the VASP Agreement. Virtual currencies have special risks that are not generally shared with the official currencies, because they are not issued by governments or with commodities or goods that are tangible or registered in the official registry. Virtual currencies are intangible, decentralised, digital assets, backed by technology and trust. No central bank or other institution can take any measures to protect the value of virtual currency. Virtual currencies are an autonomous and largely unregulated system of firms and individuals issuing currencies. The risk of loss in trading, buying, selling or holding virtual assets can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether trading in virtual assets is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. Be careful to keep your access credentials for yourself and change them on a regular basis.
-
The Provider shall not be responsible for any losses caused by transmitting funds from /to bank accounts, or virtual funds to any addresses that are not listed or given to you in the VASP Agreement. In case of uncertainty or suspicious link is given on forums or received by a suspicious account, user or website, please contact us at info@e-planet.io.
-
For the avoidance of doubt, we do not provide and will never provide any investment advice in connection with the Services described in these GTC and / or VASP Agreement by ourselves. Any decision to purchase or sell virtual assets is solely your decision and we shall not be liable for any loss suffered. Please note that after you transfer the virtual assets to a certain virtual assets wallet account such transfer cannot be revoked and we do not accept any responsibility for your actions.
