3. RISK DISCLOSURE

3.1. Due to our internal policies, We only provide the Services to users with sufficient experience, knowledge and understanding of the work principles of our Technology Platform, and those who fully understand the associated risks. You acknowledge and agree that you shall access and use the Technology Platform at your own risk. The risk of loss in Trading crypto assets can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such Trading is appropriate for you in light of your circumstances and resources. You acknowledge and agree the possibility of the following:
 a. You may sustain a total loss of the crypto assets in your HitBTC Account, and, in some cases, you may incur losses beyond such crypto assets.
 b. Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for example, when the market reaches a daily price fluctuation limit ("limit move") and there is insufficient liquidity in the market.
 c. Placing contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.
 d. All crypto assets positions involve risk, and a "spread" position may not be less risky than an outright "long" or "short" position.
 e. The use of leverage can work against you as well as for you and can lead to large losses as well as gains.
 f. Short position holders are held liable for distributions associated with the shorted instruments, including (but not limited to) airdrops, dividends, rights/warrants, and spin-offs.
 g. All of the points noted above apply to all crypto assets. This brief statement cannot, however, disclose all the risks and other aspects associated with the Trade of crypto assets and shall not be considered as any professional advice.

3.2. Risks Associated with the Internet-based Trading System. You acknowledge that there are risks associated with utilizing an Internet-based trading system including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware, software, and Internet connections. You acknowledge that HitBTC shall not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Technology Platform, howsoever caused.

3.3. Margin Disclosure Statement. The risk of loss in financing a transaction by deposit of collateral is significant. You may sustain losses in excess of your Crypto assets deposited as collateral with the Technology Platform. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop limit" orders. You may be called upon at short notice to make additional margin deposits or interest payments. If the required Margin deposits or interest payments are not made within the prescribed time, Your collateral may be liquidated without your consent. Moreover, You will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account and interest charged on it. You should therefore carefully consider whether such an arrangement is suitable and aligns with your situation and objectives.

3.4. Risk Associated with Futures Trading. Futures trading is high risk and may comprise without the limitations and risks of major fluctuations related to Crypto assets, and the risk of aggravated adverse outcomes when leverage is used. You acknowledge and agree that you shall access and use the futures trading service at your own risks, and that it is your sole responsibility and liability to fully understand the risks associated with futures trading and knowing the true status of any position. You are admonished of entering into a transaction or investing in funds that are above your financial abilities.

You acknowledge and accept that the HitBTC has no control over any cryptocurrency network and you understand all risks associated with utilizing any crypto assets network, including, but not limited to the risk of unknown vulnerabilities in or unanticipated changes to any network protocol. We will not be responsible for any harm occurring as a result of such risks.

3.7. No Control Over Your Own Actions. As defined in the foregoing cl. 4.3 (g) and other provisions herein YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HITBTC HARMLESS AGAINST ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS AND DAMAGES, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF PROFITS OR LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER IN AN ACTION, IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, ORIGINATED FROM OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OF OUR TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE ARISING FROM YOUR PERSONAL ERROR AND MISBEHAVIOR SUCH AS FORGOTTEN PASSWORDS, INCORRECTLY CONSTRUCTED TRANSACTIONS, LOSS OF YOUR ACCESSES ETC.

3.8. Price Accuracy. Although we enforce strict price accuracy policies for all fiat providers and do our best to ensure that the content displayed on or via our Platform is up-to-date and accurate, we cannot guarantee the reliability or accuracy of such content.

3.9. No Control Over Third-Party Services.
