Arm Alpha - Risk Disclosure Statement
1. Services Downtime and Unavailability. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Company does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the Services or the Platform. The Company may experience periods of downtime due to maintenance, updates, technical issues, or circumstances beyond its control, such as disruptions in third-party services or cyberattacks. The Company shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience arising from such downtime or interruptions in the availability of the Services. The Subscriber accepts that interruptions or downtime may occur and agrees that this does not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
2. General Trading Risks. The Subscriber acknowledges that digital asset trading is inherently risky, and the Company is not liable for any losses resulting from market conditions, regulatory changes, or other external factors. These risks include but are not limited to:
(a) Market Risk. Digital asset markets are highly volatile, with prices fluctuating rapidly, leading to significant gains or losses in short periods. Some digital assets may have limited liquidity, making it difficult to buy or sell at desired prices or quantities. Market dynamics can also be affected by factors beyond the Company’s control, such as regulatory changes, market sentiment, and technological developments.
(b) Regulatory Risk. The regulatory framework for digital assets is evolving and may vary by jurisdiction. Changes in laws or regulations may adversely affect the value or legality of digital assets. It is the Subscriber’s responsibility to understand and comply with all applicable laws in their jurisdiction.
(c) Technology Risk. Trading platforms, exchanges, or networks may experience outages, interruptions, or failures due to technical issues, cyberattacks, or unforeseen events. Digital assets and related technologies are susceptible to security breaches, hacking, and fraud. Additionally, smart contracts that underpin some digital assets may contain vulnerabilities that could result in loss of assets.
(d) Counterparty Risk. Using third-party exchanges carries the risk that the exchange may become insolvent, experience security breaches, or engage in fraudulent activities. The Company’s Services may integrate with third-party platforms (e.g., 3Commas or exchanges), but the Company is not responsible for the actions or omissions of these third parties.
3. Risks Specific to Automated Trading and Our Services. The Company provides automated trading services for digital assets, which involve additional risks. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that.
(a) Automated Trading Risks. Automated trading systems may experience technical failures, such as software bugs, hardware malfunctions, connectivity problems, or data feed errors, which can lead to unintended trades or losses. Delays or failures in order execution may occur due to high market volatility or exchange limitations. Additionally, trading strategies may be based on historical data, which may not perform as expected in live market conditions.
(b) Non-Custodial Service Risks. As a non-custodial service, the Company does not hold or control the Subscriber’s digital assets. The Subscriber is solely responsible for managing exchange accounts, API keys, and ensuring the security of assets. Improper handling of API keys may result in unauthorized access to accounts. Configuration errors in trading bots or strategies may also lead to unintended trades or losses.
(c) Dependence on Third Parties. The Company’s Services rely on integrations with third-party platforms and exchanges. Any disruption or termination of these third-party services may impact the performance of the Company’s Services. Trading signals are based on data from external sources, and inaccuracies or delays in this data may adversely affect trading outcomes.
(d) Performance Risk. There is no guarantee that the use of the Company’s Services will result in profits, and past performance of any strategy is not indicative of future results. Extreme market conditions can lead to significant losses regardless of the strategy employed.
4. Legal and Regulatory Considerations. The Subscriber acknowledges that the legal status of digital assets may be unclear and subject to change. The Subscriber is responsible for determining the legality of trading or holding digital assets in their jurisdiction and for complying with applicable tax obligations.
5. Compliance Obligations. Trading digital assets may have tax consequences, including capital gains taxes, and the Subscriber is responsible for reporting and paying applicable taxes. Additionally, the Subscriber may be required to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations when using exchanges or other services.
6. Regulatory Actions. Regulatory authorities may impose restrictions, bans, or other actions that impact the availability, value, or legality of digital assets and related services.
7. Risk Acknowledgment and Acceptance. By using the Company’s Services, the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees to the following.
8. Assumption of Risk. The Subscriber fully understands and accepts the risks associated with trading digital assets and using automated trading systems.
9. Sole Responsibility. The Subscriber is solely responsible for all trading decisions, configurations, and actions taken while using the Services.
10. No Liability. The Company is not liable for any losses, damages, or adverse outcomes resulting from the Subscriber’s use of the Services, including, but not limited to, those arising from technical failures, market conditions, or third-party actions.
11. Independent Assessment. The Subscriber has conducted an independent assessment of the risks and suitability of using the Services and has not relied on any representation or warranty from the Company, other than those expressly stated in this Agreement.
12. Not Investment Advice. The Services provided by the Company, including trading signals and content, are for general informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice, financial advice, or any other form of professional advice.
