Risk Disclaimer

Interwallet provides the Users with the possibility to use the Services described in the Terms of Interwallet. This Risk disclaimer provides the User with information about the risks associated with using the Services provided by Interwallet through the Website.

The User uses the Website and the Services at their own risk. The User must carefully consider whether the risks set out in this disclaimer, as well as all other applicable risks, are acceptable to the User prior to using the Website or the Services. Interwallet encourages the User to seek professional advice (legal, taxation, financial, technical or otherwise) regarding the User’s particular situation before using the Services. If any of the risks are unacceptable to the User, the User should not use the Services.

General risks

To date, the Website has specific functionality and utility. However, the Website may undergo significant changes over time. Various features of the Website and/or the Services, including its terms and conditions, fees, structure, purpose, algorithm, source codes, infrastructure design and other technical specifications and parameters, may be updated and changed frequently without notice. Interwallet may encounter difficulties during development, including financial, resourcing and technical difficulties. Particular features of the Services may never be realised.

Further, while using the Website and/or Services, system errors may occur. Cryptocurrencies, Websites and Services rely heavily on the internet. However, the public nature of the internet means that either part of the internet, or the entire internet, may be unreliable or unavailable at any given time. Further, interruption, delay, corruption or loss of data, or the loss of confidentiality in the transmission of data, may occur when transmitting data via the internet.

The User acknowledges that there are risks associated with utilizing a trading system over the internet including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware, software, and internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, the risk of third parties may obtaining unauthorized access to information and/or assets (including the User’s Cryptocurrencies) stored on the User’s behalf, cyber-attack, the Cryptocurrency network failure (such as blockchain), computer viruses, communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays the User may experience when using the Services, howsoever caused, spyware, scareware, Trojan horses, worms or other malware that may affect the User’s computer or other equipment, or any phishing, spoofing or other attacks.

Cryptocurrencies risks

Since Cryptocurrency markets are decentralized and not regulated to the degree of investment services then customers using the Services will not fully benefit from the protections available to Users receiving regulated investment services under the so-called MiFID regime. This also means that there is no central bank that can take corrective measures to protect the value of Cryptocurrencies in a crisis or issue more Cryptocurrencies.

The cryptocurrency market is determined only by supply and demand and is often highly unpredictable and volatile. The price of Cryptocurrencies is usually not transparent and highly speculative and susceptible to market manipulation. In the worst-case scenario, the product could be rendered worthless. Past performance is not an indication of future performance. The value of investments of the Users in Cryptocurrencies can go down as well as up. Changes in foreign exchange rates can also cause a decrease or increase in the value of the investments of the User in Cryptocurrencies. Other risk factors affecting the value of an investment or return on investment include, but are not limited to, political, economic, credit and market risks.

Cryptocurrencies are prone to be misused for illegal activities due to the pseudonymity or even anonymity of transactions and investors would be adversely affected if law enforcement agencies investigate any alleged illicit activities (incl. money laundering and terrorist financing). Therefore, Cryptocurrencies should be seen as an asset class subject to extremely high risks and the User should never invest money that the User cannot afford to lose. The User should be satisfied that the Services are suitable for the User in the light of the User’s circumstances and financial position. The User should not invest in Cryptocurrencies and/or use the Services unless the User has the necessary knowledge and expertise, and understands its characteristics and exposure to risk. In addition, the use of the Services can never be considered a safe investment but rather only an investment with a high risk of loss inherently associated with it. The risk of loss in trading Cryptocurrencies can be substantial. The User should be aware that the User may sustain a total loss of the deposited funds.

Blockchain risks

Blockchain is an independent public or private peer-to-peer network and is not controlled in any way or manner by Interwallet. Interwallet does not own or control the underlying software protocols which govern the operation of Cryptocurrencies available for trading on the Website. In general, the underlying protocols are open source, and anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute them.

The User will be bound and subject to any changes and/or amendments in the blockchain system and subject to any applicable law which may apply to the blockchain. Interwallet shall not be responsible for any failure and/or mistake and/or error and/or breach which shall occur in blockchain or in any other networks in which the Cryptocurrencies are being issued and/or traded. Interwallet is not responsible for the operation of the underlying protocols and makes no guarantee of their functionality, security, or availability.
