Article 62 Users acknowledge and agree that no transaction through the Platform is free from the following risks, and the Platform cannot and does not have the obligation to be responsible for the following risks:

(1) macroeconomic risks: Users may suffer losses due to abnormal price fluctuations arising from changes in the macroeconomic situation;

(2) regulatory compliance risks: changes in relevant laws, regulations, policies, regulatory requirements and rules that may affect Platform operations or cause abnormal fluctuations in prices and other factors, as a result of which the Users may suffer losses;

(3) default risks: Users may suffer losses due to the inability or unwillingness of the project owner to carry out or continue carrying out their project;

(4) risks related to earnings: digital assets are not issued by any financial institution or platform, and the digital asset market is a brand new and unconfirmed market that may not generate actual increase in earnings;

(5) trading risks: digital assets are mainly used by speculators, and are used relatively less in retailing and commercial markets; the trading of digital assets involves an extremely high level of risk because trading of digital assets goes on uninterrupted throughout the day without any limits on the ups and downs, and therefore prices are subject to large fluctuations caused by traders and/or global government policies;

(6) risks caused by Force Majeure Events;

(7) User's fault: any and all losses caused by the Users’ fault, including loss caused by wrong decision-making, improper operation, forgetting or revealing passwords, deciphering of passwords by others, third-party intrusion into computer systems used by the Users, and malicious or improper operation by a third party entrusted by the Users to serve as their agent;

(8) Geographic Access Restriction Risk: Users may encounter difficulties accessing the Platform due to IP-based restrictions or limitations, which could occur without prior notice. Additionally, existing Users' accounts may become inaccessible due to geographic constraints, leading to a sudden loss of access. To mitigate these risks, Users are advised to access and log into the Platform using supported IP addresses but shall not under any circumstances, attempt to access the Platform from restricted jurisdictions/regions, or using any methods to circumvent, bypass or override the Platform’s geographic restrictions; and

(9) Account Management and Asset Control Risks: Users may face restrictions on freezing, withdrawing, or transferring assets due to regulatory compliance requirements, or even account suspension or termination. Furthermore, trading positions may be adversely affected by regulatory actions, and Users should be aware that no compensation will be available from the Platform for losses related to regulatory compliance.

Article 63 Digital asset transactions are extremely risky and are therefore not suitable investments for most people. The Users know and understand that part or all of their investment in digital asset trading may be lost, so the Users should determine the amount of their investment or transactions based on the extent of losses they can afford. In addition to the risks indicated under Article 61 of this Agreement, there will also be risks that cannot be predicted. Therefore, the Users should carefully assess their financial situation and various risks before making any decision on investment in or transaction of digital assets. The Users shall bear any and all losses arising from their decision, and the Platform shall not bear any responsibility for Users' investment or trading decisions.

Article 64 In view of the risks arising from digital asset investment or transaction, if a User has any doubts as to such investment or transactions, the User should seek the assistance of professional consultants prior to transaction or investment.

The Platform does not make any express or implied guarantee in connection with the market, value and price of digital assets. The Users know and understand the instability of the digital asset market. The price and value of digital assets may fluctuate significantly or collapse at any time. Engaging in digital asset transaction is the free choice and decision by individual Users, who shall exclusively bear the risks and possible losses that may arise.

Article 68 The above clauses do not reveal all the risks and market situations that the Users may be subject to when they engage in transactions through the Platform. Before making a decision relating to transaction, the Users should fully understand the relevant digital assets, adopt a cautious approach to decision-making based on their own transaction objectives, risk tolerance capacity and asset status, and assume all risks exclusively on their own.

Article 69 Under any and all circumstances, the third party shall be responsible for the services that are provided by such third party and are involved in the Users’ use of the Platform services, and the Platform shall not bear such responsibility.
