We sometimes provide factual information, information about transaction procedures and information about the potential risks. However, any decision to use our products or services is made by you. No communication or information provided to you by Freeway is intended as, or shall be considered or construed as, investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice.

D. No Monitoring

Freeway is not your broker, intermediary, agent, or advisor and has no fiduciary relationship or obligation to you in connection with any purchase, trades or other decisions or activities undertaken by you using Freeway Services.

You should always set limits on the amount of tokens you deposit or funds you spend when you access the platform. It is up to you to assess the amount you feel comfortable spending to participate in the products and other non-financial services offered.

E. No Tax, Regulatory or Legal Advice

The taxation of digital assets, rewards and virtual simulation tokens is uncertain, and you are responsible for determining what taxes you might be liable to, and how they apply, when transacting through the Freeway Services. It is your responsibility to report and pay any taxes that may arise from transacting on the Freeway Services, and you acknowledge that Freeway does not provide legal or tax advice relative to these transactions. If you have any doubts about your tax status or obligations when using Freeway Services, or with respect to the digital assets or virtual simulation tokens held to the credit of your Freeway account, you may wish to seek independent advice.

You acknowledge that, when, where and as required by applicable legislation, Freeway shall report information regarding your transactions, transfers, distributions or payments to tax or other public authorities. Similarly, when, where and as required by applicable law, Freeway shall withhold taxes related to your transactions, transfers, distributions or payments. Applicable legislation could also prompt Freeway to request you to provide additional tax information, status, certificates or documentation. You acknowledge that failure to answer these requests within the timeframe defined, may result in withholding taxes by Freeway, to be remitted to tax authorities as defined by relevant law. You are encouraged to seek professional and personal tax advice regarding the above and before making any digital asset transaction.

F. Market Risks

Digital asset and virtual simulation token trading are subject to high market risk and price volatility. Changes in value may be significant and may occur rapidly and without warning. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. The value of digital assets and the amount Freeway is willing to exchange for virtual simulation tokens and any rewards you have earned can go down as well as up, and you may not get back the amount you expended to purchase virtual simulation tokens.

G. Redeemability & Liquidity Risk

Digital assets may have limited liquidity which may make it difficult or impossible for you to sell or exit a position when you wish to do so. This may occur at any time, including at times of rapid price movements. Virtual simulation tokens are closed-loop tokens existing only within the Freeway Platform, they cannot be traded on a secondary market, are not obligated to be redeemed or exchanged by Freeway and create no financial entitlements.

H. Fees & Charges

Freeway may, in its discretion, update fees & charges from time to time. Please be aware of all costs and charges that apply to you, because such costs and charges will affect the virtual simulation tokens or rewards you earn from using Freeway Services.

I. Availability Risk

We do not guarantee that the Freeway Services will be available at any particular time or that Freeway Services will not be subject to unplanned service outages or network congestion. It may not be possible for you to buy, sell, store, transfer, send or receive digital assets or virtual simulation tokens when you wish to do so.

It is not possible for Freeway to eliminate all account security risks. You are responsible for keeping your Freeway Account password safe, and you may be responsible for all the transactions under your Freeway Account, whether you authorised them or not. Transactions in digital assets or virtual simulation tokens may be irreversible, and losses due to fraudulent or unauthorised transactions may not be recoverable.
