Risks Associated with the Website
The content of the Website is available for information purposes and is not intended to provide advice on a particular case or to substitute the specialized legal advice that you should always seek in the context of the particular case you may encounter.
Website information shall be provided for general information and should not be taken as an inducement to a specific action or refrain from action. You visit this Website and take any kind of action based on the information contained therein on your sole initiative and responsibility. Although CRD Network is making great efforts to ensure that all of the Website’s information remains available continuously, is accurate and up to date, it cannot guarantee that the pages, services and the entire content of the Website will be provided without interruption, without errors or that errors will be corrected. Under no circumstances shall CRD Network be held liable for any damage suffered by the visitor/user of the Website from the use or inability to use, the lack of availability or the non-update of its content timely, as well as for the consequences of any act or omission of its visitors/users made as a result of the use of the Website.
Cryptocurrencies that are referenced on this Website are currently unregulated forms of value exchange under European Financial Services laws and are not currently perceived as representing transferable securities’ or other ‘financial instruments’. However, the CRD Network has implemented a number of rules applicable to any Cryptocurrency or Digital Asset listed on the Website to provide a high level of industry standards for the purchase or exchange of Cryptocurrencies or Digital Assets. Laws and regulatory interpretations do however vary by jurisdiction.
Buying Cryptocurrencies involves many different risks. Cryptocurrencies often involve the use of experimental software, technologies, and even business models that may not come to fruition or achieve the objectives specified in the information provided to participants. There is also a risk of illiquidity. Cryptocurrencies and Digital Assets listed on the Website are not intended to represent securities, financial instruments or to constitute an investment.
The CRD Network is targeted exclusively at participants who are sufficiently sophisticated to understand the various risks and make their own decisions based on their risk appetite. The CRD Network may publish and maintain a non-exhaustive list of potential risk factors (“Risk Factors”) associated with the products and services available on the site and you are deemed to have reviewed any such Risk Factors and considered them when using the Website and associated products and services.
Users should be aware that the markets for Cryptocurrencies are subject to extreme volatility. These fluctuations may increase or decrease the value of your assets at any given moment and in some cases, any specific Cryptocurrency or Digital Asset may even become worthless. There is a risk that significant losses will arise to users as a result of volatility and speculation. Users must ensure they take all these Risk Factors into account when deciding on the amount they wish to purchase and the frequency with which they wish to trade. If you feel uncomfortable with the risks or your financial position then you need to reduce or even eliminate your exposure to buying or trading Cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrencies are also not normally backed by any governmental body, legal entities or by real assets. This means they may not have any redemption value and their trading is not supervised. Cryptocurrencies are backed by technology and the trust of users in the technology to create suitable trust-less protocols to manage transactional information. There is no central bank or regulator that will take corrective measures in the event of a failure of a Cryptocurrency or Digital Asset or the wider market. In addition, there is no public insurance or asset guarantee scheme that will protect you from any losses including from unauthorized use of your Cryptocurrencies and from cybercrime and in addition, it may not be possible or commercially feasible for us to obtain private insurance to seek to mitigate our and your risks from the same.
The above risk warning is not intended to be a conclusive list of risks that are applicable to buying, selling and trading Cryptocurrencies. You remain responsible for taking care to understand the technological, economic, and legal nature of Cryptocurrencies and for carefully managing your exposure in accordance with that understanding and your risk appetite for innovative, volatile, and speculative new technologies and assets.
Our payment service providers have no involvement in the purchase, sale or exchange of Cryptocurrencies and are only involved in the transfer and safeguarding of our and our clients’ fiat currencies.
