10. YOUR ACCEPTANCE
If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you should not use our website or our services.
This Risk Disclosure, together with the Operating Rules, Terms & Conditions, and Privacy Policy, shall form a single agreement between you, as a User of the Platform, (hereinafter referred to as "you", "your", "yours") and Finery Markets (hereinafter referred to as "we", "our", "ours"). Your use of the Platform is contingent on your acknowledgement and acceptance of this Risk Disclosure.
The intention of this Risk Disclosure is to inform you that the risk of loss from a Transaction may be substantial. You should not enter into a Transaction unless you understand the nature of the Transaction and your exposure to risk. You should also carefully consider if the Transaction is suitable for you considering your circumstances and financial position. We expressly assume no guarantee for the completeness of the risks presented. There are additional risks which are not presented here, and individual risks may arise in certain situations. Further, both these listed risks, as well as non-listed risks, may occur both singly and cumulatively.
You are responsible for your trading decisions. We do not and will not provide any investment advice in relation to a Transaction, your portfolio or trading strategy. We will not make personal recommendations or advice on the merits of purchasing, selling, or otherwise dealing in particular investments or executing particular Transactions, any tax consequences, the composition of any portfolio, or any other rights or obligations attaching to such investments or Transactions. Therefore, you must rely on your own judgment in deciding to enter into or close a Transaction. You are advised to consult a specialist, including investment, legal, or tax professionals who are familiar with your needs, objectives, experience and/or knowledge and circumstances. Any information provided here or elsewhere by us does not substitute for the advice of qualified specialists.
Words and phrases defined in the Operating Rules and Terms & Conditions shall have the same meanings (unless otherwise expressly provided herein) for the purposes of this Risk Disclosure.
In considering whether to trade, you should be aware of the following:
1. MARKET RISK
Your payments and/or receipts in respect of a Transaction on a settlement date are independent of the changes in the value of the assets of a Transaction after the trade date. In particular, you recognise that you may have to pay your counterparty for a devalued asset more than its market value on the settlement date.
2. CREDIT RISK
Any Transaction which requires a counterparty to make payments to you will expose you to their credit risk, as opposed to the credit risk of a central clearing corporation as would generally be the case in certain other markets. As a result, there is the risk of loss resulting from that counterparty's failure to meet their contractual obligations.
3. LIQUIDITY RISK
A Transaction generally cannot be assigned, transferred or terminated without the consent of your counterparty, and your counterparty is not legally or contractually obliged to give its consent. It therefore may be impossible for you to liquidate your position at any time or at a given price and you may have to search for another counterparty to enter into an offset position or minimize your risk in a different manner.
4. PRICE RISK
Because the prices associated with Transactions are individually negotiated between you and your counterparty and there is no central source for obtaining prices from competing dealers, there can be inefficiencies in transaction pricing. We make no presentation or warranty that prices on the Platform will always be the best prices available to you.
5. FOREIGN CURRENCY (FX) RISK
The profit or loss on a Transaction in foreign currencies will be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates where there is a need to convert between currencies. Thus, you are exposed to risks that exchange rates may significantly change. Further, governments and monetary authorities may impose (as some have done in the past) exchange controls that could adversely affect an applicable exchange rate.
6. VOLATILITY RISK
The prices of Digital Assets are volatile and fluctuate sometimes dramatically. The price of a Digital Asset may move up or down including becoming valueless. You should be prepared to lose your entire investment in such Digital Assets.
7. PLATFORM AND ACCOUNT RISK
User access to this Platform is contingent on the Platform continuing to function as intended and your account being operational. There is the risk that the Platform or your account may be non-functional either temporarily or permanently. Included in this risk is the chance that your account access information is lost or stolen. As a result, there could be a significant loss to your investments.
You understand and agree that this brief Risk Disclosure cannot disclose all the risks and other significant aspects of Transactions to be entered into with us and you should therefore carefully study these Transactions before you trade. In particular, you understand and acknowledge that:
a. you have read and understood the nature and contents of the risks which are contained in this Risk Disclosure;
b. you have reviewed carefully your specific financial needs and investment objectives before entering into any Transaction, and you have made your own independent decision to enter into any Transaction and as to the legality, suitability and appropriateness of any transaction based upon your own judgment and upon advice from such advisers as you have deemed necessary;
c. you confirm that neither we nor any of our Affiliates, is acting as a fiduciary for or an adviser to you in respect of any Transaction;
d. you are not relying on any communication (written or oral) from us as investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into any Transaction and you understand that the information and explanations of the terms of any Transaction as contained in any Confirmation shall not be considered to be investment advice or a recommendation to enter into such Transactions;
e. you understand the tax implications of a Transaction, particularly as regards to Transactions involving Digital Assets, in your jurisdiction including, without limitation, income tax, corporation tax, capital gains tax or any sales tax or value-added tax and any other tax framework in place within your country of residence for tax purposes;
f. you acknowledge that no communication (written or oral) received from us shall be deemed to be an assurance or guarantee as to the expected results of any Transaction.
