SCHEDULE 1 - RISK DISCLOSURES
Financial Risks Holding cryptographic tokens carries the risk of substantial loss. You should carefully assess the suitability of holding such tokens based on your financial condition. The value of cryptographic tokens can change rapidly, potentially decreasing or even reaching zero. Additionally, transaction costs on blockchain networks may vary and increase, impacting your activities. The Company does not offer or facilitate the acquisition, purchase, sale, transfer, or exchange of any crypto assets. While third parties may provide such services, the Company assumes no liability in connection with them. You acknowledge and agree to the risks involved, and the Company cannot be held responsible for changes in value or increased costs.
Volatility and Risk: Perpetual contracts are subject to market volatility, which can result in rapid and significant price fluctuations. The value of perpetual contracts can be influenced by various factors, including market conditions, supply and demand dynamics, technological advancements, regulatory changes, and global economic events. The prices and liquidity of perpetual contracts may be affected by external market forces beyond our control.
Financial and Investment Advice: The information provided on this Website does not constitute financial, investment, or legal advice. We are not financial advisors, and nothing on this Website should be considered as a recommendation or endorsement to engage in perpetual contract trading or any other financial activities. It is essential to conduct thorough research, seek professional advice, and make independent judgments before making any financial decisions.
Internet Transmission Risks Using crypto assets carries inherent risks, including hardware, software, and internet connection failures, the introduction of malicious software, and the potential for unauthorized access to your wallet. You accept that the Company is not liable for communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions, or delays experienced when using blockchain networks, the Website, the Platform, and the Services.
Theft and Hacking, Unfavorable Regulations, Market Changes Cryptographic tokens and blockchain technology are relatively new and beyond the Company's exclusive control.

Advances in code cracking or technical innovations could lead to theft or loss of tokens or property. By accessing the Website, the Platform, and using the Services, you acknowledge and agree to undertake these risks.
Services-related Risks You acknowledge the risks associated with using the Services. It is your responsibility to evaluate the Services before using them, and once transactions are made, they are irreversible, final, and non-refundable. The Services may be disabled, disrupted, or adversely affected due to cyber-attacks, surges in activity, computer viruses, operational or technical challenges, and other factors.
