Investment and crypto trading terms and conditions are essential legal documents that outline the risks, rights, obligations, and rules for users of a trading platform or service. These terms cover a range of critical disclaimers and compliance requirements.
Key clauses generally found in such terms and conditions include:
Risk Disclosure and Assumption: Acknowledging that the value of investments and cryptocurrencies is highly volatile, can fluctuate, and may result in the total loss of invested capital. Users typically agree they are solely responsible for assessing their financial situation and risk tolerance, and that they will not hold the platform liable for losses.
No Investment Advice: The platform explicitly states that it is not providing any investment, legal, or tax advice, and all transactions are carried out on the user's own initiative and responsibility. Users are often advised to perform their own research (DYOR) and consult independent professional advisors.
User Accounts and KYC/AML: Requirements for users to open an account, provide accurate personal information, and complete Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) verification processes. The platform can suspend or block accounts for non-compliance or suspicious activity.
Platform Use and Limitations: Rules regarding how the services can be used, such as prohibitions on illegal strategies (e.g., certain types of high-frequency trading or market manipulation) or the inability to transfer digital assets to external wallets at the current stage of development.
Irreversible Transactions: Highlighting that most crypto transactions are irreversible and cannot be cancelled or modified once initiated by the user.
Fees and Taxes: Outlining all applicable fees, commissions, and charges for transactions, deposits, and withdrawals. Users are solely responsible for determining and paying any taxes applicable to their trading activities.
Security and Liability Limitations: Detailing the platform's commitment to security, while limiting its liability for losses resulting from technical failures, cyber-attacks, or the user's own negligence.
Regulatory Framework: Stating that crypto products may be unregulated and that there may be no regulatory recourse for any loss from such transactions. The legal status of cryptocurrencies is ambiguous and subject to change in many jurisdictions, including India.
