- Risk Disclosures
You acknowledge, accept and confirm the following risks and you should be solely and fully responsible for any losses arising out of or in connection with the following :
Market risk: The NFT market is still new and uncertain. Price fluctuations can be significant, and buying, selling, trading, and/or holding NFTs involves significant risk, which may result in substantial losses. You should not invest more than you can afford to lose. It is unknown whether the price of a particular NFT will rise or fall, and whether you will lose some or all of the value of that NFT.
Liquidity risk: The NFT market has varying degrees of liquidity. Some NFT markets may be highly liquid while others may have poor liquidity. Poor liquidity in NFTs may result in your inability to sell, redeem, transfer or trade NFTs that you hold, purchase or acquire.
Legal risk: The legal status of certain NFTs may be uncertain, which means that the legality of holding or trading them is not always clear. You are responsible for understanding how NFTs are addressed, regulated, and taxed under applicable laws.
Wallet or custody security risk: Ubox does not provide any storage, transmission or receipt services for homogenized tokens. Depositing or having homogenized tokens in any third-party custody institution or wallet service providers may be subject to security risks, including security vulnerabilities, contract breaches, and risk of loss. You should be wary of allowing third party to hold your homogenized tokens.
Limited supervision risk: Most NFT trading platforms are not subject to regulation or supervision by relevant regulatory or governmental authority agencies. There is no regulatory or governmental authority or entity that can take action to protect the value of NFTs in a crisis or adjust its supply.
Cyber-attack and fraud risk: Digitalized goods are often targeted by hackers and criminals for fraud. The nature of NFTs and distributed ledger technology may increase the risk of cyber-attacks.
Account security risk: There is a risk of unauthorized access by third parties of your login credentials to gain access to your account, which may be due to your negligence or third parties gaining control of another device or account you are using.
Irreversibility: Due to the decentralized nature of NFTs, their transfer may be irreversible, and any losses resulting from fraud or accidents may also not be recoverable.
Taxation risk: Due to the uncertainty of NFTs' tax characteristics, you must consult a tax expert regarding the tax implications of acquiring, storing, transferring, and using any NFT.
Third-party risk: You may suffer losses due to the actions or conditions of third parties. And such third parties may be those cooperating with us to provide services (such as IT service providers), or those you engaged and those engaged by neither us nor you.
System failure and delay risk: You may encounter system failures, interruptions, errors, delays, and other risks while using our Services. Also, all trading of NFTs is subject to screening by us for compliance and risk control purposes, which may result in delays or reject of the transaction. We are not responsible for any such events for any reason.
Defects on purchased NFTs and risks of being inaccessible on Ubox: When purchasing NFTs, you may purchase fake assets, assets with incorrect tags or defective smart contracts, and/or assets that are prone to metadata degradation, or may be difficult to transfer. Ubox reserves the right to hide the foregoing collections, contracts, and assets that are affected by any of the foregoing issues or other issues. This may result in the assets you purchased being inaccessible on our platform. You acknowledge and assume any risks associated with that.
Unforeseeable risks: This Agreement cannot list all the risk factors that you may face. You need to ensure that you understand the technical, economic, and legal nature of NFTs and manage your risk exposure based on your understanding and risk preferences.
