6. Risks

6.1 General

You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Application may be subject  to a range of risks. This clause 7 outlines some of the risks that may be  relevant to your use of the Application but is not intended to be an exhaustive  list of all relevant risks. These risks are the same as those included in the  Bamboo Risk Disclosure Statement. You should consider all of the risks that  may be relevant to your use of the Application and assess whether those  risks are acceptable to you having regard to your financial circumstances  and risk tolerance. If you are unsure, you should consider obtaining advice.

6.2 Risks

By using the Application, you warrant that you understand and accept the following risks:

• Ownership Risk: You will not have any legal title to, rights of ownership or beneficial  interest in any of the Assets that are held as part of your investment. Your Contributions 

  will be used by us to purchase and hold the Assets equal to your investment. You will  only be entitled to any proceeds that are made from the sale of the Assets at your  direction. At no time will you be able to transfer any of the Assets to any person  (including moving cryptocurrencies off the platform into your own wallet). This is  different to trading in cryptocurrencies on an exchange where you directly own the  assets and can transfer those assets outside of the exchange.

• Investment Risk: The trading of cryptocurrencies involves significant risk. Although you  are not directly trading in any cryptocurrency, you are exposed to the same investment  risks as if you were. Prices for cryptocurrencies are subject to volatility and can and do  fluctuate on any given day. Due to such price fluctuations, you may increase or lose  value in Assets that we hold as part of your investment at any given moment. Any  currency - crypto or not - may be subject to large swings in value and may even  become worthless. There is an inherent risk that losses will occur as a result of buying,  selling or trading anything on a market. This is no different for cryptocurrencies. 

  Cryptocurrency trading also has special risks not generally shared with conventional  currencies or 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, cryptocurrencies are a unique kind of currency, backed by technology and trust.  There is no central bank that can take corrective measure to protect the value of  cryptocurrencies in a crisis or issue more currency. 

  Cryptocurrencies are an as-yet autonomous and largely unregulated worldwide system  of cryptographic assets and individuals. Traders put their trust in a digital, decentralised  and partially anonymous system that relies on peer-to-peer networking and  cryptography to maintain its integrity. 

  Cryptocurrency trading is susceptible to irrational (or rational) bubbles or loss of  confidence, which could collapse demand relative to supply. For example, confidence  might collapse in cryptocurrencies because of unexpected changes imposed by the  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. There may be additional risks that we  have not foreseen or identified in this agreement.

• Counterparty Risk: Bamboo is the provider of the Application and is the principal to any  transaction made by you via the Application. When you make an investment, Bamboo purchases the cryptocurrencies you specify, with the promise to pay to you, in the  future, the proceeds of those cryptocurrencies when you instruct Bamboo to sell down  your investment. In the event Bamboo suffers a financial failure, it may not be able to  settle its obligations under this agreement as and when those obligations become due.

• Credit Risk: If Bamboo becomes insolvent, then because you do not have any legal  rights to the Assets, you will be an unsecured creditor in relation to your Contributions  and you may not be repaid in full or at all.

• Liquidity Risk: There is no secondary market for your investment in the Application and  you cannot sell your investment to any person. This means that there is no mechanism  for you to extract value from the Application other than to redeem your investments under this agreement.

• Transaction Risk: Bamboo holds legal title to, rights of ownership, and / or beneficial  interest in all of the Assets that are held as part of your investment. Bamboo may use  those Assets in its absolute discretion under this agreement to earn a return, reward,  yield or other amount or entitlement from a range of investment activities including accessing opportunities in centralised and decentralised markets. You acknowledge  and agree that:

  • you are not entitled to any return, reward, yield or other amount or entitlement  from these investment activities and that Bamboo is solely entitled to these  amounts; and
  • there are risks associated with Bamboo’s investment activities including (but  not limited to) exchange risk, volatility risk, custody risk, market risk, service  provider risk, regulatory risk, network risk, impairment risk and valuation risk;  and
  • while Bamboo has policies and procedures in place to manage the risks  associated with its investment activities, there is a risk that the Assets may be  lost or reduce in value. If this is the case, you understand that Bamboo will be  liable to repay your investments to you in accordance with this agreement but  any repayment will be subject to the counterparty risk and credit risk detailed  above.

• Market Risk: We will do our best to act on your directions as soon as possible and all  trades made by us following your directions will be conducted at the market rate  available for those Assets at the time the trade is made and on the exchange chosen  by us. There is a risk that the value of your investment in Assets on the Application will  differ from the market price due to rapid movement in the market value. We will not be  liable for any price variation due to market volatility or delays that are not within our  control.

• Volatility Risk: There is a risk that adverse movements may affect the price of Assets.  These adverse movements may affect the value of your investment.

• Regulatory Risk: The Application and Assets are not regulated financial products and  you will not have the benefit of any of the protections under the Corporations Act 2001  (Cth). There is also the risk that the regulatory landscape changes and any change  may impact Bamboo’s ability to comply with this agreement or impact the value of the  Assets.

• Service Provider Risk: We use our banking providers in order to receive Fiat Currency  and remit the value of your Assets to you once they have been sold. Our banking  providers do not transfer cryptocurrencies, exchange cryptocurrencies, or provide any  services in connection with cryptocurrencies. If our Service Providers are experiencing  any operational issues, this may delay or impact our ability to comply with our  obligations under this agreement.

• Storage Risk: We make every effort to store the Assets equal to your investment in  safe storage. However, the Assets may be compromised or lost as a result of events  outside of our control e.g. hacking. If this is the case, you understand that Bamboo will  be liable to repay your investments to you in accordance with this agreement but any  repayment will be subject to the counterparty risk and credit risk detailed above.  

  You should carefully assess whether your financial situation and tolerance for risk is  suitable for using the Application and engaging our Services.
