This notice provides a general and non-exhaustive description of the risks when you use the Services. These Risk Disclosures do not explain all of the risks or how such risks relate to your personal circumstances. It is important that you fully understand the risks involved before making a decision to use the Services.11.2 Market risks
Trading on the Platform is subject to high market risk and price volatility. Changes in value may be significant and may occur rapidly and without warning. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. The value of an investment and any returns can go down as well as up, and you may not get back the amount you had invested.
11.3 Liquidity risks
Collectibles may have limited liquidity which may make it difficult or impossible for you to Sell or exit a holding of a Collectible when you wish to do so. This may occur at any time, including at times of rapid price movements.
11.4 Availability risks
(a) We do not guarantee that the Services will be available at any particular time or that the Services will not be subject to unplanned service outages or network congestion. It may not be possible for you to Purchase, Sell, store, transfer, send or receive Collectibles when you wish to do so. (b) There are legal requirements in various countries which may restrict the products and services that StackR can lawfully provide. Accordingly, some products and services and/or certain functionality within the Platform may not be available or may be restricted in certain jurisdictions or regions or to certain Users and any StackR campaigns, user competitions or other promotions will not be open to (and are not targeted at or intended for) Users to whom restrictions apply.
11.5 Third-party risks
Third parties, such as payment providers, custodians, Third-Party Platforms, and other partners may be involved in the provision of the Services. As a condition for providing the Services to you, you must agree to the terms & conditions of these third parties (including all amendments to these terms & conditions).
11.6 Security risks
It is not possible for StackR to eliminate all security risks. You are responsible for keeping your Account password safe, and you may be responsible for all the Transactions under your Account, whether you authorised them or not. Transactions are irreversible, and Losses due to fraudulent or unauthorised Transactions may not be recoverable.
11.7 Risk of software weaknesses
Any malfunction, breakdown, or abandonment of the relevant Blockchain may have a material adverse effect on Collectibles. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to Collectibles by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins blockchain technology.
11.8 Regulatory risk
Blockchain technology allows new forms of interaction, and it is possible that certain jurisdictions will apply existing regulations on, or introduce new regulations addressing, blockchain technology-based applications, which may be contrary to the form of the digital collectibles as they currently exist, and which may, inter alia, result in substantial modifications to the network, including its termination and your loss of any Collectibles.
11.9 Risk of loss of access
Collectibles can only be accessed by you on the Platform by using your Wallet, which is a cryptographic wallet with an associated private key. The private key to your Wallet is encrypted. You acknowledge, understand, and accept that if your private key gets lost or stolen, the obtained Collectibles, or any other assets associated with your cryptographic wallet address may be unrecoverable and permanently lost.
11.10 Risk of lack of insurance
Collectibles are uninsured unless you yourself specifically obtain private insurance to insure them. Thus, in the event of loss or loss of utility value, there is no public insurer or private insurance arranged by us, to offer recourse to you.
11.11 Unanticipated risks
The technology behind Collectibles are new and unproven. In addition to the risks set out above, there are other risks associated with your receipt, storage, transfer, and use of Collectibles, including those that we may not be able to currently anticipate or which we have not included above. Such risks may further materialize as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks set out above.
11.12 Monitoring risks
The Platform is intended to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year round. Rapid price changes may occur at any time, including outside of normal business hours.
11.13 Communication risks
When you communicate with us via electronic communication, you should be aware that electronic communications can fail, can be delayed, may not be secure and/or may not reach the intended destination.
