Although CoinLoan takes precautionary measures to protect against cyber threats, some circumstances may lead to losses or damages.
- In light of these risks mentioned herein, which are only some of the risks involved in using the Services and holding or trading in Cryptoassets and do not constitute an exhaustive list of such risks, You should carefully consider whether holding or investing through Cryptoassets in general and/or using the Platform suits You in light of Your financial condition and awareness of the risks.
