10. RISKS
10.1 By utilizing the Services or interacting with the Site in any way, you represent and warrant that you understand, expressly acknowledge and assume all the inherent risks associated with cryptographic systems and blockchain-based networks; Digital Assets, including the usage and intricacies of native Digital Assets, like ether (ETH); smart contract-based tokens; and systems that interact with blockchain-based networks. Cables does not own or control any of the underlying software through which blockchain networks are formed. In general, the software underlying blockchain networks, including the blockchain, is open source, such that anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute it. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree (a) that Cables is not responsible for the operation of the software and networks underlying the Services, (b) that there exists no guarantee of the functionality, security, or availability of that software and networks, and (c) that the underlying networks are subject to sudden changes in operating rules, such as those commonly referred to as “forks,” which may materially affect the Services. Blockchain networks use public/private key cryptography. You alone are responsible for securing your private key(s). We do not have access to your private key(s). Losing control of your private key(s) will permanently and irreversibly deny you access to Digital Assets on the blockchain or other blockchain-based network. Neither Cables nor any other person or entity will be able to retrieve or protect your Digital Assets. If your private key(s) are lost, then you will not be able to transfer your Digital Assets to any other blockchain address or wallet. If this occurs, then you will not be able to realize any value or utility from the Digital Assets that you may hold. This Risk Notice is for your general information. You should not engage with Cables if you are unfamiliar with digital assets and the risks associated. This includes how assets are created, how the assets you intend to transact are transferred. Further, you expressly waive and release Cables, its affiliates, directors, shareholders and employees from any and all liability, claims, causes of action, or damages arising from or in connection with your use of Cables. Educate yourself on the risks associated with digital asset trading, and seek advice from an independent financial, tax or legal advisor if you have any questions and before engaging to determine the suitability for you.
10.2 The Services and your Digital Assets could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or regulatory actions, which could impede or limit the ability of Cables to continue to make available its proprietary software and, thus, could impede or limit your ability to access or use the Services. There may be a change in the laws and regulations that may pose restrictions on our offering. It is your responsibility to ensure you comply with all laws, regulations and restrictions of your jurisdiction before accessing and using Cables.
10.3 You acknowledge and understand that cryptography is a progressing field with advances in code cracking or other technical advancements, such as the development of quantum computers, which may present risks to Digital Assets and the Services, and could result in the theft or loss of your Digital Assets. To the extent possible, we intend to update Cables-developed smart contracts related to the Services to account for any advances in cryptography and to incorporate additional security measures necessary to address risks presented from technological advancements, but that intention does not guarantee or otherwise ensure full security of the Services. Use of Cables constitutes acceptance of the following non-exhaustive risks associated with smart contracts, decentralized exchanges, digital assets and blockchain technology: Technical flaws; Forked versions of digital assets; Cyber or malicious attacks; Market manipulation; Fluctuating value of digital assets; Acts or omissions of digital asset or stablecoin issuers; Incorrect, delayed or flawed data that my misinform trading or price discovery and Change in consensus protocol or algorithms.

The value of digital assets can fluctuate and there may be substantial risk of loss, illiquidity, devolution or lockup. You may not be able to recover any or all of the assets lost.

You represent and warrant that you possess relevant knowledge and skills. Any reference to a type of Digital Asset on the Site or otherwise during the use of the Services does not indicate our approval or disapproval of the technology on which the Digital Asset relies, and should not be used as a substitute for your understanding of the risks specific to each type of Digital Asset.
