Effective Date: October1, 2025
Important Information
This Risk Disclosure is provided by BUYEASY ("we," "us," or "our") to inform you of the risks associated with cryptocurrency and digital asset trading, as well as the use of our over-the-counter (OTC) services. Please read this document carefully before engaging in any transactions.
General Risk Warning
Trading in cryptocurrencies and digital assets involves substantial risk and may not be suitable for all individuals or entities. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources, and other relevant circumstances. You may lose some or all of your invested capital.
Specific Risks
Cryptocurrency Market Risks
Volatility
Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and subject to rapid and substantial price fluctuations. The value of digital assets can increase or decrease dramatically in short periods, potentially resulting in significant losses. Price movements of 10% or more within a single day are common and should be expected.
Liquidity Risk
Certain digital assets may have limited liquidity, making it difficult to execute trades at desired prices or within expected timeframes, particularly during periods of market stress. Large orders may experience significant price slippage, and in some cases, you may be unable to exit positions when needed.
Market Risk
Cryptocurrency markets operate 24/7/365 and are influenced by various factors including regulatory announcements, technological developments, market sentiment, and macroeconomic conditions that may be unpredictable. Unlike traditional markets, there are no circuit breakers or trading halts to prevent extreme price movements.
Market Manipulation
Digital asset markets may be susceptible to manipulation, including wash trading, spoofing, and coordinated schemes. The decentralized nature of some markets means there may be limited oversight and fewer investor protections compared to traditional financial markets.
Operational and Technology Risks
Technology Risk
Digital asset transactions rely on blockchain technology, which may be subject to technical issues, network congestion, or failures that could delay or prevent transactions. Software bugs, protocol changes, or hard forks may also affect the value or functionality of digital assets.
Cybersecurity Risk
Despite our security measures, digital assets and related platforms may be vulnerable to hacking, theft, or unauthorized access, potentially resulting in loss of funds. No system is completely immune to security breaches, and losses from such events may be permanent and unrecoverable.
Irreversible Transactions
Cryptocurrency transactions are generally irreversible. Once a transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, it typically cannot be reversed, even if sent in error or to the wrong address. You are solely responsible for verifying transaction details before confirming.
Private Key Management
If you maintain custody of your own digital assets, loss or theft of your private keys will result in permanent loss of your assets. BUYEASY cannot recover lost or stolen private keys under any circumstances.
System Outages
Our platform depends on various technology infrastructure and third-party services. System outages, maintenance, or technical issues may temporarily prevent you from accessing your account or executing transactions. We cannot guarantee uninterrupted service availability.
Regulatory and Legal Risks
Regulatory Uncertainty
The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies continues to evolve globally. Changes in laws or regulations may adversely affect the value, transferability, or legality of digital assets in certain jurisdictions. Future regulations could restrict or prohibit cryptocurrency activities entirely in some regions.
Compliance Risk
You are responsible for ensuring that your use of our services complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction, including tax obligations. Regulatory requirements vary significantly by country and may change without notice.
Cross-Border Transactions
International transactions may be subject to additional regulations, reporting requirements, and potential delays or restrictions. Some jurisdictions impose capital controls or foreign exchange restrictions that may affect your ability to move funds.
Legal Classification
The legal status of digital assets varies by jurisdiction and remains unclear in many regions. Digital assets may be classified differently (as property, securities, commodities, or currency) depending on the jurisdiction, which affects applicable legal protections and tax treatment.
Counterparty and Third-Party Risks
Counterparty Risk
OTC transactions involve counterparty risk. While we implement screening procedures, there remains a risk that counterparties may fail to fulfill their obligations, become insolvent, or engage in fraudulent activity.
Banking and Payment Service Providers
Our services rely on relationships with banking institutions and payment service providers. These relationships may be terminated or restricted, which could affect our ability to process fiat transactions. Changes in banking partners may result in service interruptions or delays.
Third-Party Service Providers
Our platform depends on third-party providers for payment processing, custody services, and technology infrastructure. Issues with these providers could impact transaction processing, fund accessibility, or service availability. We are not responsible for failures or deficiencies of third-party providers.
Custody Risk
Digital assets held in custody (whether by BUYEASY or third-party custodians) are subject to risks including theft, loss, custodian insolvency, or legal claims. While we implement appropriate safeguards, custody arrangements cannot eliminate all risks.
Financial Risks
Exchange Rate Risk
Multi-currency transactions expose you to foreign exchange rate fluctuations that may result in losses when converting between currencies. Exchange rates can move rapidly and substantially, particularly during periods of market volatility or geopolitical uncertainty.
Settlement Risk
There may be delays in settlement of transactions due to banking hours, payment network processing times, or compliance procedures. Cross-border payments typically take longer than domestic transactions and involve multiple intermediary banks.
Pricing Risk
For OTC transactions, exchange rates or conversion prices may move between the time a transaction is initiated and when it is executed. This may result in less favorable pricing than initially expected. We do not guarantee specific rates unless explicitly quoted and confirmed.
No Guarantee of Profit
Past performance is not indicative of future results. There is no guarantee that any trading strategy will be successful or profitable. You should be prepared for the possibility of total loss of your invested capital.
Insurance Limitations
No Deposit Insurance
Digital assets are not covered by deposit insurance programs such as the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) or similar schemes in other jurisdictions. Fiat currency held in accounts may have limited insurance coverage depending on the banking institution and account type.
Limited Insurance Coverage
While we may maintain certain insurance policies, coverage is subject to limitations, exclusions, and may not cover all types of losses. You should not rely on insurance as protection against market losses, theft resulting from compromised credentials, or other risks outlined in this disclosure.
Additional Considerations
No Investment Advice
BUYEASY does not provide investment, financial, tax, or legal advice. Any information provided is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as advice. You should consult with qualified professionals before making any financial decisions.
Suitability
Digital asset trading is suitable only for individuals or entities with sufficient knowledge, experience, and financial resources to understand and bear the risks involved. You should only trade with funds you can afford to lose completely. Digital assets are not appropriate if you need capital preservation, have low risk tolerance, or lack understanding of cryptocurrency technology and markets.
Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activities conducted through your account. We recommend implementing strong authentication measures and never sharing your login information. You must promptly notify us if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
Fraud Prevention
Be aware of phishing attempts, social engineering attacks, and fraudulent schemes targeting cryptocurrency users. Always verify communication authenticity and never share sensitive information through unsecured channels. BUYEASY will never ask you for your password or private keys.
Transaction Monitoring
All transactions are subject to our internal monitoring and may be delayed, suspended, or refused if they raise compliance, security, or regulatory concerns. We reserve the right to decline transactions at our discretion.
Service Limitations
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue services at any time. This may include adding or removing supported currencies, implementing transaction limits, or restricting service availability in certain jurisdictions. We will provide reasonable notice where possible, but some changes may be implemented immediately for security or compliance reasons.
