VollyBit Risk Disclosure Statement
Please read this Risk Disclosure Statement carefully before using VollyBit’s services. Trading digital assets involves substantial risk and may not be suitable for all users.
Introduction
This Risk Disclosure Statement (“Statement”) is provided by VollyBit (“we”, “us”, “our”) to inform users (“you”, “your”, “User”) of the material risks associated with accessing, holding, trading, or otherwise interacting with digital assets and related services on the VollyBit platform (the “Platform”). The purpose of this Statement is to promote transparency, support informed decision-making, and comply with applicable regulatory expectations. Nothing in this Statement constitutes legal, tax, or investment advice. You should consult independent professional advisors before making any financial decisions.
Digital assets (including but not limited to cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and tokenized assets) are highly speculative and involve a high degree of risk. Prices can fluctuate significantly, and you may lose some or all of your capital. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that you understand and accept these risks.
Volatility Risks
- Digital asset markets are highly volatile. Asset prices can experience rapid and extreme changes within minutes or even seconds.
- Market conditions may result in significant losses within short timeframes, including total loss of capital. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
- Leveraged products, where available, amplify both gains and losses and may expose Users to liquidation risk during adverse price movements.
Liquidity Risks
- Some digital assets may have limited market depth or fragmented liquidity across trading venues. Executing orders at your desired price may be difficult or impossible.
- Wider spreads and slippage can occur, particularly during periods of high volatility, low volume, listing/delisting events, or market stress. Your executed price may deviate substantially from the last traded price or your expected execution price.
- Order types (e.g., market, limit, stop) carry execution considerations and may not be filled in whole or at all under certain market conditions.
Market Manipulation Risks
- Digital asset markets may be susceptible to manipulative activities, including but not limited to pump‑and‑dump schemes, wash trading, spoofing, layering, whale activity, and coordinated social media campaigns.
- While VollyBit monitors trading activity and applies surveillance controls consistent with our policies, no platform can fully prevent all forms of market manipulation or abusive trading behavior.
- Information asymmetries, illiquid order books, and off‑platform activity may adversely impact market integrity and the prices at which your orders are executed.
Technical Risks
- Cybersecurity: Digital assets and trading platforms are targets for hacking, phishing, malware, credential stuffing, SIM swapping, and other attacks. Smart contracts and protocols may contain vulnerabilities leading to partial or total loss of funds.
- Systems & Availability: The Platform or its service providers may experience downtime, outages, scheduled maintenance, degraded performance, or latency. You may be unable to submit, modify, or cancel orders or access your account during such events.
- Wallet Security: You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials, multi‑factor authentication, device security, and any personal wallet keys or recovery phrases. Unauthorized access to your account or wallet may result in loss of assets.
- Third‑Party Dependencies: Custodial, liquidity, market data, or network providers may experience disruptions or failures that impact your ability to transact or the accuracy of displayed information.
Regulatory Risks
- Laws and regulations governing digital assets vary by jurisdiction and are evolving. Regulatory changes, guidance, enforcement actions, or policy shifts may impact your ability to trade certain assets or use particular services on the Platform.
- VollyBit may, at its discretion or as required by law, impose restrictions, delist assets, limit features, or suspend services to comply with applicable legal obligations.
- Tax treatment of digital assets differs across jurisdictions. You are responsible for understanding and complying with your tax obligations and reporting requirements.
User Responsibility
- By using VollyBit, you acknowledge and accept all risks associated with acquiring, holding, and trading digital assets.
- VollyBit does not provide personalized investment advice, recommendations, or endorsements of any asset. You must conduct your own research and due diligence before making investment decisions.
- You are responsible for understanding the features, functions, and risks of each asset and product you use, including applicable fees, order types, and trading mechanics.
- You must comply with our Terms of Use, policies, and any applicable laws. Failure to do so may result in account restrictions or termination.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, VollyBit and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, and service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Platform.
Without limiting the foregoing, VollyBit shall not be responsible for losses resulting from market volatility, adverse price movements, execution slippage, service downtime, system outages, cybersecurity incidents, hacks, phishing, smart contract vulnerabilities, third‑party failures, regulatory actions, or Force Majeure events. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in such cases, the limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
