8 Risks associated with cryptocurrencies

8.1 General

This section sets out some of the risks involved in connection with cryptocurrency and using the Services. However, this section does not constitute an exhaustive list of such risks and as such, you should carefully consider whether using our Services is suitable for you in light of your circumstances.

8.2 Legal status

  1. The legal status of cryptocurrency (including cryptographic coins, tokens and digital assets) remains uncertain in many countries and jurisdictions around the world. Such cryptocurrency may be legally prohibited in certain countries or jurisdictions or be subject to specific restrictions and limitations with which you are solely responsible for complying at your own risk and expense. We take no position on the legal status of any cryptocurrency.
  2. It is your responsibility to undertake your own investigations and enquiries and satisfy yourself of the legal status of the cryptocurrency (particularly in Australia). You acknowledge and agree that you use cryptocurrency through the Services at your own risk.
  3. The Services will only support the cryptocurrency we determine from time to time (in our absolute discretion). However, it is your responsibility to ensure that you do not use any cryptocurrency through the Services that are financial products within the meaning of the Corporations Act. It is also your responsibility to ensure that you do not deal in any financial product cryptocurrency through the Services. We will not support financial products in any form.

8.3 Risks of trading and holding cryptocurrency

  1. Historically, the value of cryptocurrency has been highly volatile and there is a risk that they could have little to no value in the future. The trading or holding of cryptocurrency involves significant risks and the losses can be substantial. It may be difficult to value cryptocurrency accurately and reliably given the nature of their trading and difficulty in identifying fundamentals. You should carefully consider and assess whether trading or holding cryptocurrency or using cryptocurrency-adjacent services is suitable for you depending upon your financial circumstances and tolerance to risk.
  2. Due to the significant risks of trading cryptocurrency as well as the impact of technology and the international market, Block Earner cannot warrant or guarantee that particular cryptocurrency will be available as part of the Services. Block Earner reserves the right to stop offering trades in relation to particular cryptocurrency as part of the Services. We will use our reasonable endeavours to notify you if we cease to support trading a particular cryptocurrency.

8.4 Cyber risks, delivery and custody

  1. Block Earner is not responsible or liable for any fiat currency sent to an incorrect bank account that is not the Fiat Account or an Australian bank account in the name of the user. It is important for you to take precautions when transferring and storing your funds or providing us with bank details. You should familiarise yourself with the security measures available when using a wallet service or other device for storage. Always take a greater degree of care and precaution to secure your passwords when operating in a digital environment. You are strongly advised to double check that you have inserted the correct wallet address or Australian bank account details where required.
  2. If we determine (in our sole reasonable discretion) that transferring cryptocurrency or fiat currency to you would be unlawful, or in any way contrary to our AML/CTF obligations, we may suspend such a transfer for as long as we reasonably determine is required. You agree that when this occurs, you have no claims regarding the delayed transfer and agree to assist us with every request for information in this regard.
  3. market conditions, or other operational or technical difficulties which could result in the immediate halt of transactions either temporarily or permanently. Provided that Block Earner has taken reasonable commercial and operational measures to prevent such events in technical systems controlled by Block Earner, Block Earner is not and will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any kind incurred by you as a result of such cyber-attacks, operational or technical difficulties or suspensions of transactions.
  4. In the event that we determine a volatile token no longer meets our listing criteria, we reserve the right to delist it at any time. Notification of a token delisting will be communicated to you through the platform. Consequently, you will no longer have the ability to buy or sell the token on our platform.

8.5 Ownership of cryptocurrency

By using the Services, you represent and warrant to us at all times you use the Services that any fiat currency or cryptocurrency used by you in connection with the Services is owned by you or that you are validly authorised to carry out transactions using such fiat currency or cryptocurrency.
