Risk Disclosures and Disclaimers
Last Updated: 3 June 2026
By using the Platform, you acknowledge you have read and accepted these disclosures. Read this in its entirety before using the Platform.
1. General Risks
1.1 No Investment Advice
The Company is not a broker, intermediary, agent, advisor, or fiduciary. No communication from the Company or through the Platform constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. You are solely responsible for your financial decisions. You should consult qualified professionals before making any decisions related to digital assets or prediction markets.
1.2 Volatility and Loss
Digital Asset values can fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. You may lose your entire investment. Past performance is not indicative of future results. No representation or guarantee is made regarding future value, returns, or price stability of any Digital Asset accessible through the Platform.
1.3 Regulatory Uncertainty
Digital assets and prediction markets operate in rapidly evolving regulatory environments. Regulatory changes could materially affect the Platform, Services, or Digital Asset values. You are solely responsible for determining compliance with Applicable Laws in your jurisdiction.
1.4 Tax Liability
You are solely responsible for all tax obligations arising from your use of the Platform. The tax treatment of Digital Assets and prediction market positions varies by jurisdiction and is subject to change. The Company does not provide tax advice and does not withhold taxes on your behalf.
2. Blockchain and Smart Contract Risks
2.1 Smart Contract Vulnerabilities
Smart contracts may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or exploitable flaws that could result in loss of funds. Code is immutable once deployed. The Company engages in security audits but cannot guarantee the absence of vulnerabilities. You interact with smart contracts entirely at your own risk.
2.2 Transaction Irreversibility
Blockchain transactions are irreversible once confirmed on the network. If you send Digital Assets to an incorrect address, interact with a malicious contract, or execute a transaction in error, the Company has no ability to reverse, cancel, or recover the transaction. You are solely responsible for verifying all transaction details before confirming.
2.3 Network Risks
Blockchain networks may experience congestion, delays, forks, reorganisations, 51% attacks, or other disruptions that could affect your ability to transact or the finality of transactions. Gas fees fluctuate based on network demand and may be substantial relative to the value of your transaction. The Company does not control blockchain networks and is not responsible for any losses resulting from network disruptions or fee volatility.
2.4 MEV and Front-Running
Transactions submitted to public blockchain networks may be visible in the mempool prior to confirmation, exposing them to Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) attacks, front-running, and sandwich attacks. The Company is not responsible for losses attributable to MEV extraction or front-running.
2.5 Wallet Security
You are solely responsible for Wallet security, including safeguarding your private keys, seed phrases, and access credentials. Loss of private keys means permanent loss of all assets in that Wallet. The Company does not have access to your Wallet credentials and cannot recover lost funds.
3. Prediction Market Risks
3.1 Binary Outcome Risk
Contract positions are binary. You lose your entire position if the outcome resolves against you. There are no partial payouts for losing positions. You should only risk amounts you can afford to lose entirely.
3.2 Resolution Risk
Markets are resolved through the UMA Optimistic Oracle. Any participant may propose or dispute an outcome by posting a bond. While this provides a decentralised and open resolution process, outcomes can be disputed, and the process can result in an outcome different from the one you expected. Posting a bond to propose or dispute an outcome puts that bond at risk. The Market Creator has no special rights or control over resolution.
3.3 Emergency Refund
If a market is not resolved within 30 days of expiration, the Emergency Refund mechanism is activated, allowing users to reclaim their collateral on a pro-rata basis. The Emergency Refund may not result in full recovery of your original investment.
3.4 Order Book and Liquidity Risk
Markets trade through a central limit order book. Prices are determined by the orders users place. Low liquidity markets may have wide spreads and significant slippage, meaning the price you receive may differ materially from the displayed price. There is no guarantee of liquidity at any price level. Large trades relative to available orders will experience disproportionate price impact.
3.5 Self-Dealing Risk
The platform prohibits Market Creators from wash trading or generating fake volume to earn fee share or points. The smart contracts and platform enforce checks to detect and prevent this. However, sophisticated actors may attempt to circumvent these controls. Exercise appropriate caution when participating in markets.
3.6 Collateral Segregation
Each prediction market Contract holds its own collateral in a separate smart contract. There is no commingling of collateral across markets. However, all markets use the same factory contract for deployment, meaning a vulnerability in the factory contract could theoretically affect multiple markets.
4. Market Creation Risks
4.1 Capital at Risk
Seeding a market and providing liquidity can result in partial or total loss of the committed capital. Returns are not guaranteed. When your orders are filled, you take on a position and are exposed to the market outcome. You can lose money if your filled orders are on the wrong side of the final outcome.
4.2 No Control Over Outcome
As a Market Creator, you do not control how your market resolves. Resolution is determined by the UMA Optimistic Oracle. Creating a market gives you fee share, not control over the result.
4.3 No Reward Guarantee
Fee share, points, and other rewards depend on genuine third-party trading volume in your market and are not guaranteed. A market that attracts no volume earns no rewards and may be delisted with loss of the Creation Bond.
4.4 Not a Deposit or Investment Product
Seeding a market is not a deposit, savings product, or investment in the platform. It is liquidity provision in a prediction market and carries the risks described here. This is not advice. You are responsible for whether this is legal and how it is taxed where you live.
5. Securities Law Notice
THIS SECTION CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE REGULATORY STATUS OF PREDICTION MARKET POSITIONS AND THE PLATFORM. READ IT CAREFULLY.
5.1 Potential Securities Classification
Prediction market positions may constitute securities or regulated financial instruments in certain jurisdictions. The Company makes no determination regarding the legal classification of any position. You are solely responsible for assessing whether your use of the Platform complies with Applicable Laws in your jurisdiction.
5.2 United States Law (Howey Test)
Under United States federal securities law, a digital asset may be classified as a security if it satisfies the test established in SEC v. W.J. Howey Co., 328 U.S. 293 (1946). The United States and its territories are Prohibited Jurisdictions. Users located in or subject to the jurisdiction of the United States must not use the Platform.
5.3 European Union Law (MiCA and Prospectus Regulation)
The Company has not obtained authorisation as a CASP under MiCA. No prospectus has been prepared or approved. Key EU Member States, including but not limited to France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands, are Prohibited Jurisdictions.
5.4 United Kingdom Law (FCA Framework)
The Company has not obtained FCA authorisation. The United Kingdom is a Prohibited Jurisdiction.
5.5 Curacao Law
The Company is incorporated in Curacao and operates the Platform as a technology provider. The Company does not issue, underwrite, or make markets in securities. The regulatory framework in Curacao for digital assets and prediction markets continues to evolve.
5.6 No Offer or Solicitation
NOTHING ON THIS PLATFORM CONSTITUTES AN OFFER TO SELL, A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY, OR A RECOMMENDATION OF ANY SECURITY, FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT, OR INVESTMENT PRODUCT. NO REGULATORY AUTHORITY HAS REVIEWED, APPROVED, OR ENDORSED THE PLATFORM. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.
6. Custody Model Disclosure
Classification: Self-custody with smart-contract settlement and oracle-based resolution.
6.1 User Wallet Control
Users maintain sole control of their Wallets and private keys at all times. The Company does not hold, custody, or have access to user funds or Wallet credentials.
6.2 Smart Contract Collateral
Collateral deposited into prediction market Contracts is held by the respective smart contracts, not by the Company. Smart contract-held collateral is governed by the immutable logic of the deployed code. The Company cannot unilaterally withdraw, redirect, or modify collateral held in smart contracts, except through the designated resolution or emergency refund functions.
6.3 Oracle-Based Resolution
Market resolution is determined by the UMA Optimistic Oracle, not by the Company. Any participant may propose or dispute an outcome. The Company does not have a privileged role in the resolution process. Resolution bonds are posted by the participants proposing and disputing outcomes, and are at risk if the proposed outcome is successfully disputed.
7. Platform and Operational Risks
7.1 Geographic Restrictions
The Platform is not available in Prohibited Jurisdictions. The Company implements geographic restrictions but these measures are not infallible. You are solely responsible for ensuring compliance.
7.2 Interface Risk
The Interface may contain errors, display inaccurate or delayed data, or experience downtime. The Protocol continues to operate on the blockchain regardless of Interface availability. The Company is not liable for losses resulting from Interface errors or downtime.
7.3 Third-Party Dependencies
The Platform relies on third-party infrastructure and services. The failure of any third-party service may adversely affect the Platform.
8. Third-Party and Cross-Platform Risks
8.1 Casino and Gaming Services
The Company or its affiliates may operate casino and gaming services under the Blizz brand or related brands. These are separate and distinct from the Blizz Markets prediction market platform. Different terms of service, risk profiles, and regulatory frameworks apply.
