Jaypto Exchange Risk Disclosure Statement

3.Risks of Using Leverage

Leverage allows traders to amplify their exposure to price movements but also increases the risk of substantial losses. Using leverage can result in losses that exceed your initial investment. You should be aware that:

Increased exposure: Leverage magnifies both potential gains and potential losses. A small market movement can result in a significant impact on your leveraged position.

Margin calls: If the market moves against your position, Jaypto Exchange may issue a margin call, requiring you to deposit additional funds. Failure to meet a margin call may result in the forced liquidation of your position.

Liquidation risk: If your position is liquidated, you may lose your entire investment or more, depending on the leverage ratio you have selected.

4.Technological Risks

Cryptocurrency trading depends heavily on advanced technology, including software, hardware, and internet connectivity. As with any online platform, there are inherent risks involved in the technology behind Jaypto Exchange:

System failures: The Platform may experience unexpected outages, downtime, or system failures that could impact your ability to execute trades or access your funds. This may result in financial losses.

Cybersecurity risks: Despite best efforts, no system is immune to hacking or cyberattacks. In the event of a security breach, unauthorized access to your account could result in the loss of your funds.

Phishing and social engineering attacks: Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their account credentials. Falling victim to phishing scams or social engineering attacks may result in unauthorized access to your account.

5.Third-Party Risks

Jaypto Exchange relies on third-party services for certain aspects of its operation, including wallet providers, liquidity providers, and payment gateways. You should be aware that:

Third-party service disruptions: If one of these third parties experiences downtime, technical issues, or ceases to operate, it may affect your ability to access the Platform or perform certain functions (e.g., withdrawing funds).

Counterparty risk: In some cases, trades or transactions may involve counterparties whose identity is not verified by Jaypto Exchange. If a counterparty defaults or fails to fulfill their obligations, you may suffer a loss.

Wallet providers: While Jaypto Exchange takes steps to ensure the security of funds held on the Platform, it is important to note that cryptocurrencies stored with third-party wallet providers may be subject to risks outside of our control.

6.Cryptocurrency-Specific Risks

Each cryptocurrency has its own unique risks based on its underlying technology, consensus mechanism, and other factors. You should be aware of the specific risks associated with the assets you choose to trade:

Hard forks and network upgrades: A cryptocurrency network may undergo changes, such as forks or protocol updates, which can impact the value or usability of your assets.

51% attacks: In proof-of-work cryptocurrencies, if a single entity controls the majority of the network’s mining power, they may be able to execute a 51% attack, resulting in double spending, transaction reversion, or blockchain manipulation.

Smart contract vulnerabilities: Cryptocurrencies based on smart contracts, such as Ethereum-based tokens, may contain coding errors or vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit to steal funds or cause other types of damage.

7.Risk of Total Loss

Cryptocurrencies are not backed by any central authority or tangible asset, meaning their value could drop to zero. As with any speculative investment, there is a possibility of losing your entire investment. By trading on Jaypto Exchange, you agree that:

Capital loss: The value of cryptocurrencies can drop precipitously, leading to the loss of your entire capital. You should never invest more than you can afford to lose.

No guaranteed returns: Cryptocurrency investments carry no guarantees of profitability, dividends, or other forms of income. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

8.Tax Risk

Cryptocurrency trading may trigger taxable events in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to capital gains, income tax, or other forms of taxation. It is your responsibility to:

Tax reporting: Keep accurate records of your trades and report any applicable income or gains to your tax authorities.

Tax implications: Consult a tax professional to understand your specific obligations regarding cryptocurrency transactions, as laws vary by jurisdiction.

9.Risks of Regulatory and Compliance Actions

Jaypto Exchange operates in compliance with relevant laws and regulations in its jurisdictions. However, regulatory scrutiny and enforcement actions may affect the Platform's operations:

Government interventions: Changes in regulations, enforcement actions, or bans on cryptocurrency trading in certain jurisdictions may impact your ability to trade or access the Platform.

Account restrictions: Jaypto Exchange reserves the right to restrict or close accounts that are found to be in violation of our Terms of Service, AML regulations, or other compliance requirements. In such cases, your funds may be frozen or seized.

10.Jurisdictional Restrictions

Certain jurisdictions may prohibit or restrict the use of cryptocurrencies or the operation of cryptocurrency exchanges. By using Jaypto Exchange, you acknowledge that:

Eligibility: You must be over 18 years of age and ensure that cryptocurrency trading is legal in your country of residence.

Restricted Jurisdictions: If you access the Platform from a jurisdiction where cryptocurrency trading is banned or restricted, you do so at your own risk. Jaypto Exchange is not responsible for any legal consequences you may face in your jurisdiction.

No liability for local regulations: Jaypto Exchange will not be held liable for any consequences arising from your breach of local laws or regulations concerning cryptocurrency use.
