Risk Disclosure Statement

Last Updated: February 15, 2026

This statement should be read in conjunction with our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Disclaimer.

High Risk Warning: Cryptocurrency trading is highly speculative and involves significant risks. VibeTrade is an AI-powered cryptocurrency trading platform for retail (non-professional) users, and using it can result in substantial financial loss. Cryptocurrency trading carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Your capital is at risk. Before using VibeTrade, carefully consider your investment objectives, experience, and risk appetite. This disclosure outlines major risk categories, but it is not exhaustive and does not cover all possible risks. By using VibeTrade's services, you acknowledge and accept the following risks:

1. Market and Trading Risks​

  • Extreme Volatility: Cryptocurrency prices are highly unpredictable and can fluctuate dramatically within short time periods. It is common for digital asset prices to swing by large percentages in a single day, and market crashes or flash crashes can occur without warning. These violent price movements may lead to rapid and significant losses on your positions. There is a very real possibility that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your invested capital.
  • Liquidity and Market Depth: Cryptocurrency markets may suffer from low liquidity or market disruptions. During periods of market stress or high volatility, you might find it difficult or impossible to execute orders at your desired price, or to exit a position at all. A lack of liquidity can result in slippage (trades executing at worse prices than expected) or orders that remain unfilled. Large orders can be especially hard to fill without significant market impact, and you may be stuck with losses due to an inability to trade out of a position.
  • Leverage and Margin Risks: If you engage in margin trading or use leverage (where available), be aware that leverage can amplify both gains and losses. Even a small market movement against your position can result in outsized losses when using leverage. In a leveraged trade, you could lose more than your initial deposit or have your position liquidated quickly if the market moves unfavorably. The use of leverage can lead to the loss of your entire margin and account balance in a short time frame. Always consider whether you can bear the increased risks of trading on margin.
  • Total Loss and No Guarantees: There is no guarantee of profit. You should only trade with funds that you can afford to lose entirely. Never trade with borrowed money or money needed for essential expenses. Past performance of any asset or strategy, including AI-generated strategies, is not indicative of future results. No returns are assured, and you may incur significant losses despite using VibeTrade's analytics. Only invest money you are prepared to lose completely, and understand that trading digital assets could result in the loss of your whole investment.

2. Technical and System Risks​

  • Platform Outages and Downtime: VibeTrade may experience technical issues, outages, or maintenance periods that render the platform temporarily inaccessible. We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted service. Planned maintenance or unexpected system failures can delay or prevent order execution. If the platform goes down or your connection to VibeTrade is lost at a critical moment, your open orders might be delayed, canceled, or unfilled, potentially causing losses or missed opportunities. You acknowledge that the platform may be unavailable during certain periods and that system outages can occur at critical times.
  • Connectivity and Latency: Using VibeTrade requires an internet connection and relies on data networks. Network or connectivity problems (e.g. internet service issues, wi-fi/cellular dropouts, or latency) can disrupt the communication between you, VibeTrade, and the exchanges. Price quotes and market data shown on VibeTrade may be delayed or may not reflect the actual real-time market prices during connectivity lags. High latency or data feed interruptions could result in orders executing at stale prices or not executing at all. VibeTrade is not responsible for any delays or failures in order execution caused by internet/network issues beyond our control.
  • Software Bugs and Errors: No software system is perfect. VibeTrade's platform, including its AI algorithms, API integrations, and user interface, could encounter software bugs, glitches, or unforeseen errors. Technical malfunctions might cause incorrect information display, miscalculation of indicators, unintended trade executions, duplicate orders, or other erratic behavior. Technical failures — such as server crashes, hardware malfunctions, or coding errors — could cause you to experience losses (for example, if an error prevents you from closing a trade). While we strive for robust and reliable performance, we make no warranty that the platform will be error-free or immune to failures.
  • No Liability for Technical Issues: VibeTrade is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant that the service will work uninterrupted or be free of technical problems. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that VibeTrade and its operators shall not be liable for any losses or damages arising from platform downtime, system outages, slowdowns, or other technical malfunctions. It is your responsibility to use VibeTrade with an understanding that technical issues can occur. Always have contingency plans and do not rely exclusively on a single platform or system for critical trading decisions.

3. AI Limitations and Model Risks​

  • No Guaranteed Accuracy: VibeTrade utilizes artificial intelligence and machine-learning models to analyze markets and suggest trades. AI predictions and analyses are inherently uncertain and probabilistic — they can be wrong or misleading. The AI's insights are based on historical data and patterns, which may not hold true in the future or under novel market conditions. Do not assume the AI is infallible. The AI cannot predict unprecedented events or "black swan" scenarios that it has not been trained on. Sudden regulatory changes, economic shocks, or atypical market behaviors can confound AI models. Algorithms may fail in unusual or extreme market conditions, producing inaccurate signals or missing critical shifts.
  • Analysis Errors and "Hallucinations": AI-driven analysis can at times be incorrect, incomplete, or out of date. The model might misinterpret data or emphasize patterns that are mere coincidences. In some cases, the AI may generate outputs that appear confident but are actually erroneous — often referred to as AI "hallucinations" in the context of machine learning. Outdated or bad data can also degrade the AI's performance; if the AI's information sources do not reflect current market reality, its suggestions could be dangerously misleading. Machine learning models can produce incorrect or false signals that may lead to losses if followed uncritically. Always treat AI outputs as one input among many, not as fact. You should independently verify and critically evaluate any recommendations or forecasts provided by VibeTrade's AI before making trading decisions.
  • Over-Reliance on Automation: Using an AI trading platform does not eliminate the need for human judgment. Over-reliance on automated strategies is risky — purely algorithmic strategies cannot account for every real-world factor, such as breaking news or market sentiment shifts in real time. The AI will execute or suggest trades based on predefined models and historical correlations, but it cannot adapt perfectly to unforeseen events or sudden market anomalies. If you allow the AI to execute trades automatically, you risk rapid losses before you can intervene, especially in fast-moving markets. You must monitor the performance of any AI-driven strategies and be prepared to intervene or override them. VibeTrade's AI is a tool to assist you, not a guaranteed profit-maker, and using it requires caution and oversight from you as the user.

4. Exchange and Third-Party Risks​

  • Protocol and Infrastructure Dependency: VibeTrade connects to the Hyperliquid protocol to route orders and retrieve market data. As a result, you are exposed to the risks of the underlying protocol and its supporting infrastructure, which are outside VibeTrade's control. If the protocol or its supporting nodes experience technical issues, downtime, or latency, VibeTrade's functionality will be impacted. API outages, validator issues, or network congestion can prevent orders from being placed or canceled and can prevent market data from updating in real time. You may be unable to trade, or your orders could be delayed or not executed, during such an outage. VibeTrade is not responsible for disruptions or losses caused by failures of the underlying protocol or third-party service providers.
  • Exchange Failures and Insolvency: By using VibeTrade, you may hold assets or trade on various crypto exchanges. These exchanges themselves present risk. Exchanges can fail, go offline, or even become insolvent without warning. In the event that a third-party exchange faces a security breach (hack), financial failure, or bankruptcy, you could lose the funds you hold on that exchange or be unable to withdraw assets. There is typically no government insurance or backup fund to fully compensate losses if an exchange collapses or is hacked. VibeTrade does not custody your exchange assets and cannot protect you from an exchange's failure. Always assess the trustworthiness and security of any exchange you use, and avoid keeping more funds on an exchange than you are willing to lose.
  • Asset Delistings and Trading Suspensions: Cryptocurrencies and trading pairs can be delisted or suspended by exchanges due to regulatory issues, project failures, or the exchange's internal decisions. If an asset you are trading through VibeTrade is delisted from an exchange, you may be forced to stop trading it and might have a limited window to withdraw the asset, often at unfavorable prices. Low-liquidity assets can also face trading halts. Exchange policy changes (for example, suddenly barring users from certain regions, or disabling certain coins) are beyond VibeTrade's control and may impact your ability to trade or access funds. Be aware that sudden changes on exchanges — including trading halts, withdrawal freezes, or asset delistings — can occur at any time, and such events could lead to losses or stranded assets.
  • Account Security and API Keys: When you use VibeTrade, you typically connect your own exchange accounts via API keys. Protecting your API keys and exchange accounts is your responsibility. If your API keys or login credentials are compromised (for example, through phishing, malware, or other security breaches), attackers could gain unauthorized access to your exchange account. This might allow them to execute trades or withdrawals, potentially stealing your assets. VibeTrade cannot prevent or undo unauthorized actions taken on your exchange accounts. Always follow strong security practices: use two-factor authentication (2FA) on your exchange accounts, store API keys securely, and consider using IP whitelists or withdrawal locks if available. VibeTrade is not liable for any account breaches or fund losses arising from third-party exchange security failures or your own security lapses. You should also be aware of the risk of account freezes or compliance-related locks by exchanges (for example, if you fail a KYC/AML check or if regulators compel an exchange to freeze assets). Such events could prevent you from accessing your funds, and are outside of VibeTrade's control.

5. User Responsibility and No Financial Advice​

  • Not Financial Advice: VibeTrade is an AI-driven trading tool and does not provide investment advice. All information, signals, and analyses from the platform are for informational purposes only. VibeTrade is NOT a registered investment advisor and does NOT provide personalized financial advice. Any trading strategies or indicators provided by the AI are tools, not definitive recommendations. We do not know your personal financial situation or objectives, and nothing on VibeTrade should be construed as an assurance of any result or a recommendation to buy/sell any asset. You are solely responsible for all trading decisions you make.
  • User's Independent Decision: All trading and investment decisions are made at your own risk. You must use your own judgment when deciding to act on any information or suggestion from VibeTrade. You should carefully evaluate any automated strategies or AI outputs in light of your personal risk tolerance and financial condition. If you are ever unsure, seek advice from a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, VibeTrade's team or affiliates shall not be responsible for any losses you incur from trading or investing using our platform. By using VibeTrade, you acknowledge that you (the user) bear full responsibility for your trades and investments, and that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, VibeTrade disclaims all liability for outcomes (including losses or underperformance). VibeTrade does not guarantee any profit or outcome from use of its AI or services. For the full terms regarding limitation of liability and jurisdictional exceptions, please refer to our Terms of Service.
  • No Fiduciary Relationship: Using VibeTrade does not establish a broker-client or advisor-client relationship. VibeTrade's role is limited to providing software and algorithmic tools; it is not managing your investments on your behalf and does not owe you any fiduciary duty. Any general market commentary or automated analysis provided by VibeTrade is not tailored to you and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for making trading decisions. You must understand that trading in cryptocurrencies is done at your own discretion, and you assume all risks associated with it. We explicitly emphasize that we are not responsible for your trading outcomes — profit or loss. By proceeding to use the platform, you confirm that you understand this lack of advice and acknowledge that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, VibeTrade shall not be held liable for your trading decisions.
