RISK ACKNOWLEDGMENT 5.1 TRADING RISK TRADING CRYPTOCURRENCIES INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK, INCLUDING THE RISK OF TOTAL LOSS OF ALL FUNDS IN YOUR CONNECTED EXCHANGE ACCOUNTS. BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (a) TRADING CARRIES RISK. Cryptocurrency trading is highly speculative, and you could lose all of the assets in your connected Exchange accounts. You should not use the Software with funds you cannot afford to lose entirely. (b) CRYPTOCURRENCIES ARE VOLATILE AND UNPREDICTABLE. Cryptocurrency prices can fluctuate dramatically in short periods. Market conditions can change rapidly due to factors including regulatory announcements, technological developments, market manipulation, liquidity issues, and macroeconomic events. (c) PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. Historical trading results, whether your own or displayed by others, are not indicative of future performance. Strategies that were profitable in the past may result in significant losses in the future. (d) WE DO NOT GUARANTEE PROFITS OR PROTECTION FROM LOSSES. The Software is a tool that executes your instructions. We make no representations about the profitability of any strategy or the suitability of the Software for your financial situation. (e) THIRD-PARTY, EXECUTION, AND INFRASTRUCTURE RISKS ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL. We are not responsible for losses resulting from the failure, error, delay, outage, insolvency, hack, or misconduct of any Exchange or any other Third-Party Service, including order execution and signal routing platforms, hosting and network providers, market data providers, and blockchain networks. This includes, without limitation, orders that are not placed, are placed late, are placed more than once, are placed at an incorrect size or price, or are not closed, and stop-loss or take-profit instructions that are not transmitted, not accepted, or not executed at the intended level. (f) REGULATORY UNCERTAINTY. The legal and regulatory status of cryptocurrencies varies by jurisdiction and is subject to change. Regulatory developments could adversely affect the value of your assets or your ability to trade. (g) LEVERAGE AMPLIFIES RISK. If you use leveraged trading, your potential losses are magnified. You could lose more than your initial margin and may be required to deposit additional funds. (h) SOFTWARE AND AUTOMATION RISK. Like all software, the Software may contain bugs, defects, or errors, and may be affected by connectivity issues, API rate limits, latency, maintenance, or outages. Automated strategies are designed for normal market conditions and may behave unexpectedly during extreme volatility, flash crashes, illiquid markets, or Exchange or Third-Party Service disruptions. Any of these may cause trades to be executed incorrectly, late, or not at all, and may result in losses. (i) RISK PARAMETERS ARE NOT GUARANTEES. Any maximum loss, maximum drawdown, stop-loss level, risk rating, or similar figure displayed in the Software, on our website, or in any strategy description is a design target based on assumptions about normal market conditions and the correct functioning of the Software and all Third-Party Services. It is not a promise, guarantee, or limit on the losses you may actually incur. Your actual losses may exceed any such figure, including as a result of slippage, gaps, illiquidity, Exchange or Third-Party Service failures, or Software errors. 5.2 Confirmation YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND ACCEPTED THESE RISKS, AND THAT YOU HAVE THE FINANCIAL CAPACITY TO BEAR TOTAL LOSS OF ALL FUNDS USED WITH THE SOFTWARE. 5.3 Risk Disclosure The Risk Disclosure forms part of these Terms. You must read and accept the Risk Disclosure before activating any strategy. In the event of any conflict between the Risk Disclosure and this Section 5, the provision that more fully describes the risk shall apply.

FEES AND PAYMENT 7.1 Fees
Your use of the Software is subject to the fees set out in the Fee Agreement. Fees are calculated as a percentage of your closed trading profits for each strategy you activate, at the rate displayed to you before activation. By activating a strategy, you agree to the Fee Agreement and to the fee rate shown for that strategy. Fees are subject to a high-water mark applied separately to each strategy. Any loss realized on a closed position, including a position closed by a stop-loss, reduces the cumulative closed trading profit of that strategy, and no further fee is charged on that strategy until later closed profits have recovered that loss and the cumulative closed trading profit exceeds the strategy's previous high-water mark. The high-water mark affects only how fees are calculated. It is not a representation that any loss will be recovered. In the event of any conflict between this Section 7 and the Fee Agreement, the Fee Agreement shall prevail in relation to the calculation, invoicing, and payment of fees. 7.2 Payment Methods
We accept payment in the cryptocurrencies specified in the Fee Agreement or on our website [currently Bitcoin (BTC) and Tether (USDT); confirm whether USD Coin (USDC) is accepted]. Payment is considered received when the transaction is confirmed on the relevant blockchain. All network and transaction fees associated with your payment are your responsibility. 7.3 Billing and Non-Payment
Fees are invoiced periodically (monthly or as otherwise specified in the Fee Agreement). If an invoice is not paid within the period specified in the Fee Agreement, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Software, stop all active strategies, and disconnect all Exchange API connections without further notice. You remain liable for all fees accrued before suspension or termination. 7.4 Changes to Fees We may change fee rates for new strategy activations at any time. Any change to the fee rate on a strategy you have already activated requires at least fourteen (14) days' notice. Your continued use of that strategy after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the new rate. You may deactivate the strategy before the new rate takes effect. 7.5 No Refunds All fees paid are non-refundable, including if you choose not to use the Software, if your account is terminated for breach of these Terms, if you experience trading losses, or if the Software does not perform as you expected. Any refund, credit, or fee waiver that we may choose to provide is subject to Section 15.5. 7.6 Taxes You are responsible for all taxes, duties, and other governmental charges associated with your use of the Software and payment of fees, including any withholding tax, VAT, GST, or other taxes applicable in your jurisdiction.
