Risk Disclosure

This Risk Disclosure (“Disclosure”) describes significant risks related to digital assets, distributed ledger technology, and services offered by AziMiner and its affiliates (collectively, “AziMiner”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) through the AziMiner website, applications, and platform (the “Platform”). It is provided for general information only and does not list every possible risk. By accessing the Platform, creating an account, or purchasing any product or service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Disclosure and accept the risks described here and in our Terms of Service.

Nothing on the Platform is investment, legal, or tax advice. AziMiner does not recommend whether you should buy, sell, or hold any digital asset or enter any contract. If you are unsure whether participation is suitable for you, consult independent professional advisers before using the Platform or deploying capital.

1. General participation risk

You may lose some or all of the funds you allocate to products, deposits, or contracts available through the Platform. Returns (if any) are uncertain, may be delayed, and can be affected by fees, taxes, network conditions, and counterparty behavior. You should only use funds you can afford to lose entirely.

2. Digital asset and market risk

• Volatility. Prices of digital assets can change rapidly and dramatically. Mining economics, contract valuations, and balances shown on the Platform may move unfavorably without warning.
• Liquidity. There may be limited ability to exit positions, convert assets, or withdraw at desired times or prices, including during market stress or maintenance.
• Forks and network changes. Blockchain upgrades, forks, consensus changes, or software bugs may affect asset availability, settlement, or the operation of services.
• No guaranteed performance. Past or projected returns, illustrations, or testimonials do not guarantee future results.

3. Cloud mining and infrastructure risk

• Operational dependence. Hashrate, uptime, energy costs, equipment failures, maintenance, hosting arrangements, and relationships with third-party operators can materially affect outcomes.
• Difficulty and competition. Network mining difficulty, competitor hash power, and reward schedules may reduce expected yields over time.
• Regulatory and policy changes. Laws or policies affecting mining, energy use, taxation, or digital assets in relevant jurisdictions may change with little notice and could impair services or economics.
• Force majeure. Events beyond reasonable control—including natural disasters, wars, cyber incidents, pandemics, strikes, or major internet outages—may disrupt operations.

4. Technology, security, and third-party risk

• Software and integrations. The Platform relies on software, APIs, wallets, blockchains, and partners. Bugs, misconfigurations, or incompatible updates may cause errors, delays, or loss of access.
• Cybersecurity. Despite safeguards, accounts and systems may be targeted by phishing, malware, denial-of-service attacks, or social engineering. You are responsible for securing credentials, devices, and withdrawal destinations.
• Third parties. Banks, payment processors, custodians, cloud hosts, and blockchain networks are outside our full control. Their failures or policy changes may affect you.

5. Regulatory and compliance risk

Laws and regulations governing digital assets, mining, securities, commodities, tax, sanctions, and anti-money-laundering vary by country and change frequently. Services may not be available in all jurisdictions. You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of the Platform is lawful where you live or operate and for complying with applicable obligations, including tax reporting.

6. Counterparty and credit risk

When you send funds or assets to addresses or accounts we specify, or when balances are held or routed through us or partners, you bear the risk of delay, insolvency, dispute, or error in processing. Blockchain transactions are generally irreversible.

7. Currency, FX, and stablecoin risk

Where products are quoted or settled in fiat or stablecoins, exchange rates, de-pegging, issuer reserves, banking rails, and conversion fees may affect what you receive or pay. Stablecoins are not the same as government-issued currency and carry their own risks.

8. Informational limitations

Materials on the Platform (including marketing, calculators, FAQs, and blog content) may be simplified, delayed, or incomplete. We do not warrant that any estimate, forecast, or description will prove accurate.

9. Changes to this Disclosure

We may update this Disclosure at any time. The “Last updated” date reflects the current version. Material changes may also be communicated through the Platform or by email where appropriate. Continued use after updates constitutes acknowledgment of the revised Disclosure.
