DISCLAIMERS

RISKS

Bitcoin has special risks not generally shared with official currencies, goods or commodities in a market. Unlike most currencies, which are backed by governments or other legal entities, or by commodities such as gold or silver, Bitcoin is a unique type of currency, backed by technology and trust. There is no central bank that can issue more currency or take corrective measures to protect the value of Bitcoin in a crisis and accounts and value balances are not subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Securities Investor Protection Corporation protections. Any account maintained by ZEBEDEE for the benefit of its customers may not be sufficient to cover all losses incurred by customers.

Instead, Bitcoin is an autonomous and largely unregulated global system of currency firms and individuals. Users put their trust in a digital, decentralised and partially anonymous system that relies on peer-to-peer networking and cryptography to maintain its integrity. Some Bitcoin transactions shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that the customer initiates the transaction.

Bitcoin is often susceptible to irrational (or rational) bubbles or loss of confidence, which could collapse demand relative to supply. For example, confidence in Bitcoin might collapse because of unexpected changes imposed by software developers or others, a government crackdown, the creation of superior competing alternative currencies, or a deflationary or inflationary spiral. Confidence might also collapse because of technical problems: if the anonymity of the system is compromised, if money is lost or stolen, or if hackers or governments are able to prevent any transactions from settling. Additionally, legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange and value of virtual currency.

You should be aware that the value of Bitcoin may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency for virtual currency, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular virtual currency should the market for that virtual currency disappear.

There may be additional risks that we have not foreseen or identified in our Terms of Use.

You should carefully assess whether your financial situation and tolerance for risk is suitable for using Bitcoin. Transactions in virtual assets may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable.

Please note the following additional disclosures associated with Bitcoin and other Digital Assets:

Digital Assets are not legal tender, are not backed by the government, and accounts and value balances are not subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Securities Investor Protection Corporation protections.
Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange and value of Digital Assets.
Transactions in Digital Assets may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable.
Some Digital Assets transactions shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that the customer initiates the transaction.
The value of Virtual Assets or Digital Assets may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency for Virtual Assets or Digital Assets, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular Virtual Asset or Digital Asset should the market for that Virtual Asset or Digital Asset disappear.
There is no assurance that a person who accepts a Digital Asset as payment today will continue to do so in the future.
The volatility and unpredictability of the price of Digital Assets relative to fiat currency may result in significant loss over a short period of time.
The nature of Digital Assets may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyber-attack.
The nature of Digital Assets means that any technological difficulties experienced by ZEBEDEE may prevent the access or use of a customer’s virtual currency.

NO TAX, LEGAL, FINANCIAL, OR INVESTMENT ADVICE

You should not interpret any Content provided on the Platform as tax, legal, financial, or investment advice. We have no special relationship with or fiduciary duty to You and Your use of the Platform does not create such a relationship. You agree and acknowledge that you are solely responsible for conducting legal, accounting and other due diligence review on the information posted on the Platform.

TRANSACTION DISPUTES

ZEBEDEE’s only involvement in digital transactions on the Platform is as a software provider. If a disagreement occurs between You and a User or customer over a transaction (a “Transaction Dispute”), You and that User or customer are solely responsible for resolving the Transaction Dispute. ZEBEDEE disclaims any liability arising out of or relating to a Transaction Dispute and will not mediate, attempt to resolve, or otherwise become involved in any Transaction Dispute.

DISCLOSURES TO LEGAL AUTHORITIES AND AUTHORISED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

We may share your Personal Data with law enforcement, data protection authorities, government officials and other authorities when:

Required by law;
Compelled by subpoena, court order or other legal procedure;
We believe that disclosure is necessary to prevent damage or financial loss;
Disclosure is necessary to report suspected illegal activity; or
Disclosure is necessary to investigate violations of our Terms of Use or Privacy Policy

We may also share information concerning US citizens who are ZEBEDEE customers with other financial institutions, as authorised under Section 314(b) of the US Patriot Act, and with tax authorities, including the US Internal Revenue Service, pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), to the extent that this statute may be determined to apply to.
