You acknowledge that you are fully aware of all applicable laws and technical constraints relating to the proof-of-stake and proof-of-work blockchains, and to the Services. You acknowledge that you have been warned of the following associated risks and advised of the following recommendations:
4.1 Regulatory changes. Blockchain technologies and related services are subject to continuous regulatory changes and scrutiny around the world, including but not limited to anti-money laundering and financial regulations. You acknowledge that certain Services, including their availability, could be impacted by one or more regulatory requirements.
4.2 Tax. Transactions or operations in Crypto Assets , or more generally Crypto Assets events, including but not limited to exchanges, air-drops, forks, and gains arising from staking, may be considered tax events according to the legislations law under which you are subject to taxation. These rules may be unclear or subject to change, and you are therefore encouraged to consult your own tax or accounting adviser before engaging into Crypto Assets activities.
4.3 Technology. Users understand that some of the technology supported or made available through the Services are new, untested and not provided by Quantum ledger Global and therefore outside of Quantum ledger Global’s control. Advances in cryptography, or other technical advances such as the development of quantum computers, could present risks to blockchain networks which could result in the theft or loss of Crypto Assets. Other adverse changes in market forces or in the technology, broadly construed, may prevent or compromise Quantum ledger Global’s performance under these Terms.
4.4 Cybersecurity. Hackers or other groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with Quantum ledger Global’s products and information systems in several ways, including without limitation denial of service attacks, side-channel attacks, spoofing, smurfing, malware attacks, or consensus-based attacks.
4.5 Underlying blockchain protocols. All transactions created through the Services are confirmed and recorded on blockchain networks. Such networks are decentralized peer-to-peer networks run by independent third parties, which Quantum ledger Global does not own, control or operate. We have no control over blockchain networks and, therefore, cannot and do not ensure that the transactions you broadcast on the Services will be confirmed and processed. You acknowledge that we do not store, send, or receive Crypto Assets on your behalf and you agree that the transactions you configure through the Services may fail, or may be substantially delayed by the underlying blockchain networks. On occasions, the blockchain protocol of a given Crypto Asset may change, which may have consequences on its key characteristics including but not limited to their availability, name, security, valuation value or the way it operates. Forks entail that forked Crypto Assets may be misdirected or replicated. In any such events, Quantum ledger Global may decide, at its discretion, to suspend support of the impacted Crypto Asset for as long as Quantum ledger Global deems necessary. When it so decides, Quantum ledger Global will endeavor to give you advance notice, but may not be able to. You should keep yourself apprised of such events and make all necessary arrangements.
4.6 No retrieval of Private Keys. The only existing backup is with you. Quantum ledger Global operates non-custodial services, which means that we do not store, nor do we have access to your Crypto Assets nor your Private Keys. Quantum ledger Global does not have access to or store passwords, 24-word Recovery Phrase, Private Keys, passphrases, transaction history, PIN, or other credentials associated with your use of the Services. We are not in a position to help you retrieve your credentials. You are solely responsible for remembering, storing, and keeping your credentials in a secure location, away from prying eyes. Any third party with knowledge of one or more of your 24-word Recovery Phrase or PIN can gain control of the Private Keys associated with your Quantum ledger Global Device or of the 24-word Recovery Phrase, and therefore steal your Crypto Assets, without any possibility for you or Quantum ledger Global to retrieve them.
4.7 Keep your credentials safe. When you set your Quantum ledger Global Device up, you must: (a) create and remember a strong PIN that you do not use for any other service; (b) protect and keep your 24-word Recovery Phrase secure and confidential; (c) protect access to your Quantum ledger Global Device; To learn more about how to use and secure your 24-word Recovery Phrase, we recommend that you visit quantumledgerglobal.com and in particular, or visit Quantum ledger Global’s website..
4.8 Do not trust. Verify. Software integrity, especially when connected to the Internet, is very hard to verify. Quantum ledger Global’s security model relies on trusted display. This is why the verification of the information on your Quantum ledger Global Device is paramount. Before you approve an operation, you must always double check that the information displayed on your mobile or desktop screen is correct and matches the information displayed on your Quantum ledger Global Device. Upon sending Crypto Assets, you are solely responsible for verifying that the recipient address, amount and fees are correct and that they are the same on both your computer or mobile and on your Quantum ledger Global Device’s screen. You also acknowledge that using unverified addresses to receive Crypto Assets comes at your own risk.
4.9 Learn more about crypto and the risks involved. Before using Quantum ledger Global Live or any of Quantum ledger Global Devices, it’s important to learn and understand how to use your Crypto Assets and the risks involved.
4.10 No liability. There may be additional risks that we have not foreseen or identified in these Terms.
