Risk Warning

This Risk Warning is an integral and mandatory part of the Terms of Service of the website https://token-screener.com.

Due to the potential for losses, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) considers crypto-assets to be high risk.

The Site is not a financial services provider, investment adviser, broker, or credit institution. The sole purpose of the Site is to publish informational, analytical, and technical data. All materials on the Site are of an informational and educational nature and do not constitute financial advice, an invitation or inducement to invest, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset. The purpose of this Warning is to alert you to the high and very specific risks associated with financial activity, the information about which — directly or indirectly — you may find on the Site.

1. General nature of risks

Trading on financial markets, investing in crypto assets, securities, buying or selling digital currencies, and any other speculative operations involve an extremely high risk of a complete and irretrievable loss of all invested funds. Crypto-assets are highly volatile: their price can rise or fall sharply and rapidly, sometimes by tens of percent within a single day, and in some cases can fall to zero. Past results or returns are never a guarantee of similar results in the future. Markets are volatile and unpredictable.

2. Specific types of risk (the list is not exhaustive)

• Volatility risk: crypto-asset prices are extremely volatile and can experience sharp and sudden movements, including a complete loss of value.
• Liquidity risk: the inability to buy or sell an asset at the desired moment at the desired price.
• Credit and counterparty risk: bankruptcy, fraud, dishonest actions, or technical failure of a platform, exchange, asset issuer, or financial institution.
• Operational and technology risk: failures of trading systems, hacker attacks, losses due to user errors (for example, sending funds to the wrong address).
• Regulatory risk: sudden changes in a country's legislation that may make an asset or operation illegal, subject it to prohibitive taxation, or lead to account freezes.
• Risk related to the use of information: materials on the Site are a simplified presentation, may become outdated, contain errors, or reflect the subjective opinion of the author, which does not take into account your personal financial situation.
• Human factor risk: financial losses caused by the errors, inattention, emotional reactions, or wrong decisions of the user themselves, including incorrect data entry, erroneous trading orders, and loss of access to accounts (passwords, keys).
• Fraud and scams: the crypto market attracts fraudsters. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Always verify the legitimacy of any platform, project, or offer before engaging with it.
• No protection or compensation: crypto-assets are generally not protected by deposit guarantee schemes, investor compensation funds, or any other state or private protection mechanisms. Unlike bank deposits or regulated investments, you should not expect to be compensated or protected if something goes wrong. In the UK, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) does not protect this type of investment, and the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will not be able to consider complaints related to this firm. You can check whether an investment is protected using the FSCS investment protection checker and learn more about FOS protection here.
• And other risks.

3. Your personal responsibility

You alone bear full and sole responsibility for all your financial decisions, transactions, and their consequences. It is strongly recommended that you:

• Invest only funds whose complete loss you can afford without harming your financial well-being.
• Diversify your investments and do not concentrate all funds in a single asset or project. A common rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments.
• Conduct your own thorough research of any asset, platform, or strategy before making decisions.
• Consult independent professionals before undertaking any financially or legally significant actions.

Before starting any financial activity, review the Terms of Service and this Risk Warning. By continuing to use the Site, you confirm that you understand all the described risks and accept them.
