We have included below, in more detail, the potential risks in Mining or holding any Digital Tokens. You should note that the risks described below are not intended to be exhaustive and are not intended to be presented in any assumed order of priority. We ask you to take time to carefully read them through and to consider whether such usage of Terawulf mining company services is appropriate in your particular circumstances.
You should seek independent professional advice if you do not fully understand the risks of using our Services.
Capitalised terms used herein have the meaning set out in Terms of Use, unless the context requires otherwise.
You acknowledge and agree that you shall access and use the Services at your own risk. The risk of loss caused by Digital Token price volatility can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such investment is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, objectives and financial resources. You should be aware of the following points:
You may sustain a significant loss of the Funds transferred to, and of all Funds in, your Terawulf mining company Account. The traded price of Digital Tokens can fluctuate greatly within a short period of time. The traded price of a Digital Token also may decrease due to various factors including discovery of wrongful conduct, market manipulation, changes to properties of the Digital Token, Attacks (as defined in paragraph 4 below), suspension or cessation of support for a Digital Token by Terawulf mining company or External Account providers or other service providers, and other factors outside the control of Terawulf mining company.
Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to buy or sell a Digital Token. This can occur, for example, if there is insufficient liquidity in the market. We are not and shall not be responsible or liable for the transferability, liquidity and/or availability of any Digital Tokens.
This brief statement cannot, of course, disclose all the risks and other aspects associated with the nature of Cryptocurrencies. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you understand and accept all risks connected with transacting and trading in Digital Tokens, and are able and willing to accept and bear for your own account all possible losses that may arise from such transactions and trading in Digital Tokens.
You acknowledge that there are risks associated with utilizing an Internet-based trading system including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware, software, and Internet connections. You acknowledge that Terawulf mining company shall not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using our Services, Blockchain, or any other third-party crypto-associated hardware/software/wallets etc., howsoever caused.
The Services and/or the Terawulf mining company Accounts and the Funds held therein may be subject to attacks on their security, integrity or operation, and you acknowledge and agree that Terawulf mining company shall not be responsible or liable for any losses resulting therefrom.
Any Digital Token and the software, networks, protocols, systems and other technology (including, if applicable, any blockchain) used to administer, create, issue, transfer, cancel, use or transact in any Digital Token (the “Underlying Technology”) may be vulnerable to attacks on its security, integrity or operation (“Attacks”), including attacks using computational power sufficient to overwhelm the normal operation of a blockchain or other Underlying Technology.
Any Digital Token or Underlying Technology may change or otherwise cease to operate as expected due to a change made to the Underlying Technology, a change made using features or functions built into the Underlying Technology or a change resulting from an Attack. These changes may include, without limitation, a “fork” or “rollback” of a Digital Token or blockchain.
Any Digital Token may be cancelled, lost or double spent, or have its traded price otherwise diminished, due to forks, rollbacks, Attacks, changes to the functions, characteristics, operation, use and other properties of the Digital Token or failure of the Digital Token to operate as intended.
Terawulf mining company may not support related side chains or other Underlying Technology of Digital Tokens that are based on a fork, enhancement, or derivative of a different Digital Token or Underlying Technology, even if such is based on a Digital Token that is supported by Terawulf mining company.
Any Digital Token may be lost if sent to the wrong address (for example but without limitation, if the address is improperly formatted, contains errors, or is intended to be used for a different type of digital token).
The regulatory status of Digital Tokens is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether governmental authorities will regulate the Digital Tokens. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether any governmental authority may make changes to existing laws, regulations and/or rules that will affect any of the Digital Tokens. The Digital Tokens hence may be securities or be otherwise regulated under the laws of certain jurisdictions. Terawulf mining company may cease offering Services in respect of any of the Digital Tokens or prohibit use of the Services in or from certain jurisdictions in the event that governmental actions make it unlawful or commercially undesirable to continue to offer such Services in respect of any Digital Token. Under Section 2.2 of the Terms of Use, you also represent and warrant that you will not use our Services if any applicable laws in your country prohibit you from doing so in accordance with the Terms of Use
We have no control over, or liability for, the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any Digital Tokens.
The risks described in this Risk Disclosure Statement may result in loss of Digital Tokens, decrease in or loss of all value for Digital Tokens, inability to access or transfer Digital Tokens, inability to trade Digital Tokens, inability to receive any specific utility, access or benefits available to other Digital Token holders, and other financial losses to you. You hereby accept and agree that Terawulf mining company will, at all times, have no responsibility or liability for, such risks. You hereby irrevocably waive, release and discharge any and all claims, whether known or unknown to you, against Terawulf mining company and their respective directors, members, officers, employees, agents and contractors related to any of the risks set forth herein.
You represent and warrant that you have: (a) the necessary technical expertise and ability to review and evaluate the security, integrity and operation of any Digital Tokens that you decide to acquire or trade; and (b) the knowledge, experience, understanding, professional advice and information to make your own evaluation of the merits and risks of any Digital Token or trade. You accept the risk of owning Digital Tokens or/and mining equipment by using the Services, and are responsible for conducting your own independent analysis of the risks specific to the Digital Tokens and the Services.
