4. Risk Disclosure. When purchasing the Product on the Platform, you may obtain high investment returns, but at the same time, there are great investment risks. In order for you to better understand the risks involved, in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, administrative rules, and relevant national policies, we hereby remind you of the risks in and of the Product, and you should read this carefully — the risks in your purchase of the Product on the Platform include, but are not limited to:

(1) Risk in digital assets themselves: The digital assets market is brand new and unrecognized and may not grow. At present, digital assets are largely used by speculators and rarely used by retail and commercial markets. As a result, prices of digital assets are prone to fluctuations, which in turn may have an adverse impact on digital assets investment. The digital assets market does not have a price limit mechanism like the stock market, and trading is open 24 hours a day. Digital assets are susceptible to significant price fluctuations because the fundamental characteristics of digital assets are different from traditional investments, and because of the influence of a variety of market forces and regulatory policies that are still undergoing regulatory normalization in many jurisdictions. Therefore, you must understand and agree that you shall bear all the economic losses caused to you by the digital assets themselves.

(2) Policy risks: Due to the formulation or revision of laws, regulations, and normative documents concerning digital assets in various countries, trading in digital assets may be suspended or prohibited at any time. You must understand and agree that you shall bear all the financial losses caused by the suspension or prohibition of trading in digital assets due to the formulation or revision of national laws, regulations, and normative documents.

(3) Internet and technical risks: The Platform does not guarantee that all the information, programs, texts, etc contained therein are completely safe and free from interference and destruction by any malicious programs such as viruses and Trojans. Therefore, it is your personal decision to log in to the Platform, purchase the Product on the Platform, use any service on the Platform, or download and use any programs, information, and data downloaded from the Platform. Meanwhile, there are risks in using the trading system on the Internet, including but not limited to the failure of software, hardware, and Internet links. As the Platform cannot control the reliability and availability of the Internet, the Platform shall not bear any responsibility for any distortion, delay, and link failure.

(4) Force majeure risks: The Platform shall not be responsible for any failure or delay of service and any loss caused to you due to information network equipment maintenance; information network connection failure; failure of computers, communication, or other systems; power failure; hacker attacks; weather conditions; accidents; strikes; labor disputes; riots; insurrection; disturbances; insufficient productivity or means of production; fire; flood; storm; explosion; war; reasons attributable to banks or other partners; digital assets market collapse; act of the government; orders of judicial or administrative organs; other acts beyond the control of the Platform; or reasons attributable to any third party.

(5) Market condition risks: The Platform does not guarantee the correctness and applicability of market condition analysis and market evaluation. The Platform cannot control, support, or guarantee the accuracy or completeness of trading for the information or suggestions you have obtained or will obtain from the referrer or any other organization or employee, and all the risks or consequences arising therefrom shall be borne by you and have no connection with the Platform.

(6) Risks of account blocking and freezing: When a competent authority presents corresponding investigation documents and requires the Platform to cooperate with the investigation of your account, assets, or trading data on the Platform, or takes measures to account block, freeze or transfer your account, the Platform shall assist in providing your corresponding data or performing corresponding operations as required by the competent authority, and the User shall assume full responsibility for the privacy disclosure, inability to operate the account, losses, etc. arising therefrom.

(7) Other risks: You shall be solely liable for any loss in the following circumstances: (a) losses caused by losing your account, forgetting your password, your improper operation and wrong investment decisions, etc.; (b) losses caused by online entrustment, failure to exit in time after hot key operation, malicious operation by others; (c) losses caused by the leveraged trading by others on your behalf on the Website; and (d) losses caused by any other accident and not attributable to the Platform.

Note: If you participate in the purchase of the Product on the Platform, you shall control your own risks, evaluate the value and risks of digital assets investment, and bear the economic risk of losing all your investments. You shall trade according to your own financial conditions and risk tolerance, and be aware of the risks of investing in digital assets. When you invest in digital assets, there is both the possibility of you making a profit and the possibility of you making a loss. The risk disclosure herein does not reveal all the risks in the Product. Please be sure to have a clear understanding of the foregoing. There are risks in the market; be cautious in investment.

 

5. Delay, suspension, termination or unexpected execution of the HTX Earn service may occur due to network delays, computer system failures and other force majeure. HTX shall exercise reasonable effort to ensure, but does not guarantee, that the HTX Earn service execution system runs stably and effectively. HTX shall bear no responsibility where the outcome of execution does not match your expectations due to the above factors.

 

6. The Product is designed for HTX registered users, aiming to offer value-added services for their idle digital assets.
