10. Risk statement

Important note: This clause 10 contains important information about the general risks associated with trading in Digital Payment Tokens and in using the Services. You should read this information carefully before applying to open an Account and executing Trades.

Please review our Risk and Compliance disclosures here:

.

Please review our Singapore User Specific Risk and Safeguarding Disclosures here:

.

You acknowledge that by opening an Account, you are deemed to have reviewed, understood and accepted the risks associated with the Services. You also acknowledge that it is your responsibility to stay up to date with this Risk Statement as updated from time to time.

Trading is risky. The risk of loss in trading or holding Digital Payment Tokens can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition.

Introduction

10.1 This clause is not exhaustive. It is not intended to disclose or discuss in detail all of the risks associated with trading or holding Digital Payment Tokens or the use of the Services. You should ensure that your decisions are made on a well‑informed basis and you should undertake your own assessment as to the suitability of trading in Digital Payment Tokens in the light of your experience, objectives, financial resources, and your specific needs and requirements.

10.2 The market for Digital Payment Tokens is new and rapidly developing, and the risks of trading Digital Payment Tokens are not fully understood. As such, we may update this risk statement periodically to list additional risks in transacting in Digital Payment Tokens, but accept no liability whatsoever in the event that any risk is not addressed in this risk statement.

Risk warning

10.3 (Your acknowledgement and agreement as to risks) Your use of the Services, and acquisition of any Products, means that you confirm and agree that:

(a) You understand the risks associated with Digital Payment Tokens and their related transactions;

(b) You accept and assume all risks and Losses associated with the Services, Products and transactions involving Digital Payment Tokens. If required, you should seek advice from an independent financial advisor on the risks involved using the Services, acquiring any Products or transactions involving Digital Payment Tokens.

10.4 (Nature of Digital Payment Tokens)

(a) There is no assurance that a person who accepts Digital Payment Tokens as a form of payment, or a store of value, will continue to do so in future.

(b) Digital Payment Tokens are generally considered a high-risk asset class.

(c) The nature of Digital Payment Tokens may be very complex, and their terms, features, and/or risks may not be readily or fully understood due to the complex structure, novelty and reliance on technological features.

10.5 (Value of Digital Payment Tokens and the risk of loss)

(a) The value of Digital Payment Tokens is highly unpredictable, with significant price fluctuations within short period of time, and may be zero. You can lose all, or a substantial portion, of the value of Digital Payment Tokens in a short period of time. You should only invest capital you can afford to lose.

(b) There is a risk of significant economic loss when buying, selling, holding, or investing in Digital Payment Tokens and engaging in their related transactions.

(c) The value of Digital Payment Tokens is not guaranteed or backed by any government, and may not be backed by any intrinsic asset value or assets supporting their price.

(d) The use of instructions in relation to Orders may not necessarily limit losses to the expressed amount and market conditions may make it impossible to Fill an Order or to obtain the limit price.

(e) Trading in Digital Payment Tokens is not appropriate for a person with limited resources, limited investment experience, or a low risk appetite to investment or trading losses.

10.6 (Past performance) The value of Digital Payment Tokens can go up or down. Any data on the past performance of a Digital Payment Token does not guarantee, and is not a reliable indicator of, future performance.

10.7 (Availability of Digital Payment Tokens)

(a) The value of a Digital Payment Token may be derived from the continued willingness of users to trade in the Digital Payment Tokens, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular Digital Payment Token should the market for it disappear. Thinly traded or illiquid markets have an increased potential risk of loss as a result of the enhanced volatility, and you may not be able to establish or liquidate positions in a Digital Payment Token when desired, at favourable prices or at all.

(b) A Digital Payment Token may change or otherwise cease to operate as expected due to changes made to or using its underlying technology, including by way of cyber-attack, Fork or Hard Fork. Such changes are outside our control and may dilute the value of a user's Digital Payment Token position and/or distribute the value of a user's Digital Payment Token position to another Digital Payment Token, and may impact our ability to provide Services for the new Digital Payment Token.

10.8 (Availability of Services risk) We do not guarantee that the Services will be available at any particular time, or that the Services will not be subject to unplanned service outages, network congestion or any other Event Outside Our Control. It may not be possible for you to buy, sell, store, transfer, send or receive Digital Payment Tokens when you wish to.

10.9 (Liquidity risk) When there is insufficient liquidity in the market it may be difficult or nearly impossible to liquidate a position or you may only be able to liquidate a position at a loss. This may be caused by many reasons, including the absence of buyers, limited buy/sell activity, or underdeveloped secondary markets.

10.10 (Currency and conversion risk)

(a) Trades may be executed in a currency different to the currency that you deposit in your Account. You should research and be aware that the value of any currency may fluctuate and such fluctuation may lead to loss. This means that there is a risk that the movement in an exchange rate may have an adverse effect on any gain or loss achieved from any Trade.

(b) If you convert Digital Payment Tokens following the execution of an Order or where an Order is denominated in a particular Digital Payment Token other than your primary reference Asset, there is a risk that, if the markets move against your position, the net proceeds may be significantly less than the initial amount in your primary reference Asset, and any income or gains may be entirely negated.

10.11 (Safeguarding risk: Digital Payment Tokens and Fiat Currency)

(a) Please review the safeguarding risks for users of OKX Singapore here:

10.12 (Financial Crime and cyber crime risks)

(a) The nature of Digital Payment Tokens means that they may be exposed to an increased risk of Financial Crime or cyber-attack, including to malware, hacking, phishing, double spending, smurfing, spoofing, sybil attacks, social engineering, majority-mining, consensus-based, or other mining attacks, misinformation campaigns, distributed denial of services, and Forks.

(b) The transfer of Digital Payment Tokens into a digital (hot) wallet exposes the Digital Payment Tokens to the risk of loss from, amongst other things, security breaches from cyber-attacks that hack and steal Digital Payment Tokens (including those described in clause 10.13(a)). There is limited, or in some cases no, mechanism for the recovery of lost or stolen Digital Payment Tokens.

(c) There is a genuine risk that unauthorised third parties may gain access to your Account and make transaction without your knowledge or authorisation, whether by obtaining control over your Account or the computer or device you use to access the OKX Platform, Services or your Account.

10.13 (Technology risk)

(a) Understanding Digital Payment Tokens may require advanced technical knowledge. Digital Payment Tokens are often described in exceedingly technical language that may require a comprehensive understanding of applied cryptography and computer science in order to appreciate inherent risks. The listing of a Digital Payment Token on the OKX Platform does not indicate our approval or disapproval of the underlying technology regarding that Digital Payment Token and should not be used as a substitute for each user's understanding of the risks associated to that Digital Payment Token.

(b) The software protocols and governance structures that underlie Digital Payment Tokens are often typically open source projects and/or rely on various "open" or decentralized governance models, which may depend on autonomous agents or anonymous or pseudonymous actors:

  • the development and control of such Digital Payment Tokens is outside of our control;

  • such software protocols are subject to sudden and dramatic changes that might have a significant impact on the availability, usability or value of a specific Digital Payment Token;

  • it may be difficult to anticipate or mitigate adverse governance decisions or changes to Digital Assets, creating additional and often unknown risks.

(c) The nature of Digital Payment Tokens means that technological difficulties experienced by us may prevent your access to, or use of, Digital Payment Tokens. We may experience sophisticated cyber-attacks, unexpected surges in activity or other operational or technical difficulties that may cause interruptions to the Services, or may result in Digital Payment Tokens being lost and/or stolen. You should understand that the Services may experience operational issues that lead to delays. By using the Services, you agree to accept the risk of transaction failure resulting from unanticipated or heightened technical difficulties, including those resulting from sophisticated attacks.

(d) Digital Payment Tokens are dependent upon new technologies, including distributed ledger technologies for the purposes of (amongst other things) anonymity, irreversibility of transactions, accidental transactions, transaction recording and settlement.

(e) Digital Payment Token transactions cannot be reversed. Once a user sends a Digital Payment Token to a wallet address outside of the OKX Platform, there is a risk that the user may lose access to the Digital Payment Token indefinitely. For example:

  • A wallet address may have been entered incorrectly and the true owner of the wallet address may never be discovered, or a wallet address may belong to an entity that will not return the user's Digital Payment Tokens or which will only do so following action on the part of the user, such as verification of their identity.

  • A user may lose their private key for external wallet addresses. For example, the private key may be backed up on paper and subsequently lost or stolen, or the private key may be hacked or stolen.

(f) The person in possession of a private key for an external wallet address may be deemed to own the Digital Payment Tokens on that basis.

(g) A potential risk arises if a single entity acquires control of 51% of a blockchain network’s computing power (hash rate). This “51% attack” could allow the controlling party to spend the same Digital Payment Tokens more than once, thereby undermining confidence in blockchain networks as stores of value and mediums of exchange. A successful attack of this nature could result in a significant decline in Digital Payment Token prices.

(h) The use of the OKX Platform on a jailbroken device may compromise security and lead to fraudulent transactions. You may suffer losses as well as a termination of the Services.

10.14 (Legal and market risks)

(a) A user is responsible for complying with the Applicable Laws and Regulations and is solely responsible for determining which laws may apply to their transactions, including any applicable tax laws. A user is solely responsible for reporting and paying any taxes arising from its use of the Services.

(b) Due to the relatively recent development of Digital Payment Tokens, banks and other Competent Authorities have different views as to the risks associated with funds generated from the buying and selling of Digital Payment Tokens or may have a very low tolerance for risk. Accordingly, a user's bank may freeze its account or reject any incoming funds if the user's bank concludes that such funds are the result of buying or selling Digital Payment Tokens.

(c) You may suffer losses as a result of value depreciation of a Digital Payment Token you paid as a result of controls imposed by a Competent Authority. Repayment or payment of any amounts due to you may be delayed or even prevented by controls or other actions imposed by government or regulatory authorities over Digital Payment Tokens and/or their ecosystem that these Competent Authorities control or regulate.

(d) Digital Payment Tokens may, either because of their inherent design or through network events, not be a fixed supply. If and when additional Digital Payment Tokens are created, the particular Digital Payment Token’s price may decline due to inflationary effects of adding additional Digital Payment Tokens to the total available amount of assets in the market.

(e) At any point in time, one or more persons may directly or indirectly control significant portions of the total supply of any particular Digital Payment Token. These persons are often referred to colloquially as “whales”. Whether acting individually or collectively, these whales may have significant impact, and may be able to influence or cause significant market events that may have a detrimental effect on price, value or functionality of Digital Payment Tokens. Furthermore, these whales or other network participants and users may make decisions that are not in your best interest as an investor of Digital Payment Tokens.

10.15 (Regulatory risk)

(a) Digital Payment Tokens activities conducted in certain jurisdictions may be unregulated or subject to limited regulation. Digital Payment Tokens regulation is evolving in many jurisdictions. New or amended regulations may restrict Digital Payment Tokens’ usage or otherwise affect demand, which could influence prices. Additionally, banks and other financial institutions may refuse to process funds for Digital Payment Token-related transactions or maintain accounts for parties dealing in Digital Payment Tokens. As a result, you may be impeded from converting Digital Payment Tokens into fiat currency.

(b) Any regulatory changes or actions by a Competent Authority may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange and value of a Digital Payment Token.

(c) The domestic government of a user may make it illegal for the user to trade Digital Payment Tokens.

10.16 (Stop loss)

(a) A Stop Order is an offer to deal if our quote becomes less favourable to you. A Stop Order is generally placed to provide some risk protection, for example in the event of your Trade moving into loss, and can be used to either open or close a Trade. Each Stop Order has a specific stop level, set by you. Your Stop Order will be triggered if our bid price (in the case of an Order to sell) or our offer price (in the case of an Order to buy) moves against you to a point that is at or beyond the level specified by you. Notwithstanding the specific stop level set by you, we may be required by Applicable Laws and Regulations to close or part close a Trade prior to your Stop Order being triggered.

(b) You agree and understand that Stop Orders will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such Orders at a price close to your intended stop price or at all. In extremely volatile markets, the price of a Digital Payment Token may fall rapidly through your Stop Order price and you may suffer losses well in excess of the amount realised had your Stop Order been executed at the Stop Order price.

10.17 (Taxation risk) The tax characterisation of Digital Payment Tokens is uncertain. You must seek your own tax advice in connection with respect to any transactions you conduct with us.

10.18 (Operational risk) Operational risk comes from possible malfunctions of our systems, for example, resulting from scheduled or unscheduled downtimes, internal systems failures or hacks. You may be (temporarily) unable to trade as a result of these malfunctions or, in case of a hack or other forms of cybercrime, lose (part of) the Digital Payment Tokens deposited with us. We do not guarantee that the Service will be available at any particular time of that the Service 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 Payment Tokens when you wish to do so

10.19 (Other risks) Website and internet pages, investor relations releases, oral or written outlooks, presentations, audio and video recordings of events, and other publications from websites may contain optimistic, forward-looking statements that reflect our and our management’s current views with respect to prospective projects and events. Certain words, including but not limited to, “anticipate,” “assume”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “project”, and “should”, as well as other expressions that often identify forward looking statements. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and changes due to many factors, including but not limited to: changes in Digital Payment Token and Fiat Currency exchange rates, and commodity prices; the introduction of new and/or competing technology and ideas; increased market incentives; and a decline in demand for current Services or other products.

11. Fees

11.1 Fees apply when you use the OKX Platform and the Services, or acquire a Product. We tell you about these Fees when you apply for, or enter into, an Order / Transaction. These Fees are set out on the

11.2 We may change the Fees payable (including by changing the amount of a Fee, or introducing a new Fee or removing an existing Fee) by giving you reasonable prior notice to you (unless change occurs as a result of the Applicable Laws and Regulations or a requirement of a Competent Authority, in which case we might give you notice when the change occurs).

11.3 Unless we otherwise agree, you agree that we have the right to automatically deduct any Fees you owe directly from the Assets in your Account and without prior notice to you.

12. Event of Default

12.1 If an Event of Default occurs:

(a) any delivery, payment or other obligation owed by you to any other party (including any other user or us) pursuant to these terms, will immediately mature, accrue or otherwise be accelerated so as to require performance of your obligations on the date of such Event of Default (Accelerated Obligations); and

13. Unclaimed property

13.1 If you hold any Assets in your Account, and there has been no activity on your Account for at least 12 months, we will take reasonable steps to locate you using the contact information available to us.

13.2 If we are unable to locate you, we reserve the right (but shall have no obligation) to:

(a) close your Account and end our contract with you; and

(b) if your Account shows a credit balance, return your Assets to you in accordance with clause 2.13.

(b) another user's actions, omissions or breach of these terms;

15.11 We take all reasonable steps to ensure the security and confidentiality of information and to provide a safe network environment to users. However we cannot ensure, warrant or guarantee:

(a) the security or confidentiality of information transmitted to, or received from, OKX through electronic means, which includes the internet, wireless connection, email, phone, and SMS, since OKX has no way of ensuring that the transmission of such information is protected at all times.

For time sensitive matters, either party may seek injunctive relief from the courts exercising jurisdiction in Singapore, and any court that may hear appeals from any of those courts. In the event of any other dispute, controversy, difference or claim, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination of the Terms or any dispute arising out of or relating to the Terms (the “Dispute”), the parties shall:

(a) First refer the Dispute to proceedings at the Singapore International Mediation Centre (the “SIMC”) in accordance with the Singapore International Mediation Centre Mediation Rules in force for the time.

(b) If the Dispute has not been settled upon the signing of a settlement agreement within ninety (90) days following the filing of a request for mediation, or within such extended period as may be agreed by the parties, such Dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in Singapore administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”) under the Arbitration Rules of SIAC in force when the Notice of Arbitration is submitted. The law of this arbitration clause shall be the laws of Singapore.

(c) You agree that the seat of arbitration shall be Singapore. The number of arbitrators shall be three (3). We shall appoint one (1) arbitrator and you shall appoint one (1) arbitrator. The third arbitrator shall be appointed by the Chairman of the SIAC. Such arbitrators shall be freely selected, and the parties shall not be limited in their selection to any prescribed list. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English.

(d) You agree that we shall not be required to give general discovery of documents, but may be required only to produce specific, identified documents which are relevant and material to the outcome of the Dispute.

Part B Digital currency exchange

This Part B applies to digital currency exchange services (crypto to fiat, and fiat to crypto), as well as crypto to crypto conversions. If you obtain these Services, then the agreement between you and OKX Singapore is made up of this Part B, and Part A and Part C.

18. Fiat to crypto, crypto to fiat, and crypto to crypto conversions

18.1 You can convert fiat to crypto, crypto to fiat, and crypto to crypto using OKX’s Convert Service or Spot Service.

18.2 When using the Convert Service (Convert Service):

(a) You must select the two assets (fiat or crypto). You may enter the amount of the asset you wish to convert or the amount of the asset you wish to receive in exchange. Once you do so, we will provide you with a rate for the conversion. If you accept that rate, we will execute the conversion and this will be reflected in your Account.

(b) Convert transactions are completed on an over-the-counter basis and not on the spot market. This means that the rate you accept will be honoured without slippage.

(c) A spread is built into the rate for each conversion.

18.3 When using the Spot Service (Spot Service):

(a) OKX offers, and users may access trading services for various asset pairs. Orders you place are matched automatically with OKX Singapore, according to pre-established criteria. While the counterparty to your trade shall be OKX Singapore, your orders may only be partially filled if OKX Singapore does not have sufficient liquidity at the moment of your trade and OKX Singapore may fill your order through multiple liquidity sources.

(b) The Fees applicable to the Spot Service are set out in accordance with clause 11. Depending on the type of Order you place and the liquidity available to OKX Singapore, you may be exposed to slippage.

19. Trading Bots

General terms for Bots

19.1 This clause 19 applies if we make available to you the Spot Grid Bot (the Bots) as Services on the OKX Platform and governs the use of the Bots.

Spot Grid Bot

19.2 (Purpose and Functionality)

(a) The Spot Grid Bot is an automated trading tool that facilitates the execution of buy and sell orders at predefined intervals within a user-specified range (Trading Range).

(b) The core strategy of the Spot Grid Bot is to capitalise on price fluctuations within the Trading Range by systematically buying at lower prices and selling at higher prices.

19.3 (Risk Acknowledgement)

(a) You acknowledge that the Spot Grid Bot does not guarantee profits and may incur losses, including in scenarios of significant market downturns, low liquidity, or sudden price movements.

(b) You should not interpret Bot tools or documentation as tailored financial advice, and acknowledge that our Bots only service you on an execution-only basis. Consultation with a licensed financial advisor is recommended to determine the suitability of automated trading strategies.

(c) You acknowledge and accept that the use of the Spot Grid Bot involves certain risks, including but not limited to:

  • technical failures beyond our reasonable control, including delays in execution or system outages;

  • misconfiguration of bot parameters leading to suboptimal performance or unintended losses;

  • high market volatility causing buy or sell orders to remain unexecuted or executed at unfavourable prices;

  • incremental trading fees due to frequent transactions in volatile markets;

  • limitations in our ability to fill certain orders, depending on the available liquidity and pricing; and

  • any API or third party assistance you employ in conjunction with the bot.

(d) You further acknowledge that:

  • the Spot Grid Bot relies on market conditions to execute predefined trades. A lack of sufficient liquidity in the selected trading pair may cause delays or failures in completing orders;

  • during periods of rapid price movement, trades executed under take-profit (TP) or stop-loss (SL) settings, which use market orders, may result in in diminished profitability or unintended losses due to slippage or unfavourable execution prices;

  • fees associated with executing frequent orders within a grid can accumulate significantly, potentially reducing overall returns. You are responsible for reviewing the fee structure prior to enabling the bot; and

  • external disruptions, such as exchange downtimes or market suspensions, may render the bot inoperable without prior notice.

19.4 (Operational Conditions)

The Spot Grid Bot will cease operations under the following conditions:

  • the market price moves outside the specified Trading Range;

  • your configured stop-loss (SL) or take-profit (TP) levels are triggered;

  • you manually stop the Bot;

  • your order, placed through the Bot, does not meet our minimum order amount, as updated from time to time; and

  • fail-state conditions, such as low liquidity preventing order execution or the underlying cryptocurrency being delisted or suspended from trading, which are updated by us from time to time.

General Provisions applicable to Bots

19.5 We reserve the right to suspend or terminate the Spot Grid Bot in accordance with clause 9 of these terms.

19.6 You agree to the following responsibilities when using the Bots:

(a) you must personally carefully review and configure the operational parameters of the Bot, including but not limited to initial order amount, safety order amount, price steps, the Trading Range, grid quantity, and investment amount;

(b) you are responsible for monitoring the performance of the Bot, and reviewing and updating the Bot’s parameters to align you’re your financial goals and risk tolerance; and

(c) you should actively monitor the Bot's activity to ensure alignment with personal investment goals and market conditions.

19.7 We take no responsibility for the parameters input by users (or make any suggestion as to appropriateness of the parameters) or monitoring of the Bot trading performance.

19.8 You acknowledge that:

(a) the Bots do not facilitate the transfer, remittance, or settlement of funds or Digital Payment Tokens between users or third parties. The Bots do not give you additional functionality to enable, manage, or control the movement of fiat currency or stablecoins (including USDT and USDC), nor do they create or maintain a right for you to receive or redeem such instruments;

(b) the Bots operate solely on an execution-only basis, interacting with order books within the OKX Platform to execute market trades as specified by you alone. All functionalities provided by the Bots are limited to facilitating algorithmic trading based on your parameters; they do not include or involve:

  • the provision or operation of a payment system, including clearing, settling, or authorising payment transactions involving fiat currency or stablecoins;

  • the establishment of a non-cash payment facility since the Bots do not facilitate the payment or receipt of money or any other value between parties; or

  • custodial or depository functions, as the Bots do not hold, control, or transfer user funds or Digital Payment Tokens in any capacity outside the trading functions provided on the OKX platform;

(c) the potential integration of stablecoins in your trading strategies through the Bots does not alter this characterisation. Any use of such stablecoins is incidental to executing spot Digital Payment Token trades and remains subject to your direct control and authorisation through the OKX Platform’s trading account infrastructure;

(d) while the Bots are free to create and use, trading fees apply to each transaction executed by the Bots. These fees will be automatically deducted from your account balance and may cumulatively impact returns, especially in high-frequency trading scenarios; and

(e) you acknowledge that orders placed via the Bots may not execute at the intended price due to slippage, fee deductions or rapid market fluctuations. This includes scenarios where partially filled orders are completed at varying price points, potentially increasing costs or reducing returns;

(f) you have read and understood the FAQs pertaining to the Bots and this clause 19;

(g) you accept the risks associated with automated trading, and it is your responsibility to assess whether automated trading aligns with your financial objectives and risk tolerance, and continue to do so throughout the Bots lifecycle;

(h) you are solely responsible for configuring and monitoring the Bots, and ensuring its parameters remain appropriate as market conditions evolve;

(i) the Bots operate based on algorithmic trading, which may encounter unforeseen anomalies or errors. It is your responsibility to implement appropriate risk management controls, such as setting stop-loss orders and regularly reviewing Bot performance, to mitigate potential adverse outcomes; and

19.9 Without limiting clause 15, we make no representations or warranties regarding the performance of the Bots and disclaim all liability for any losses incurred through their use.

19.10 You agree to hold us harmless for losses arising from:

  • user misconfiguration;

  • technical failures or outages beyond OKX’s reasonable control;

  • third party APIs, or assistance you utilise in connection with the Bots; and

  • market conditions, including volatility or illiquidity.

19.11 Without limiting clause 9, we reserve the right to:

(a) suspend Bot operations or cancel outstanding orders during periods of high market stress, or if another material risk is identified to protect the overall platform stability and users; and

(b) to update Bot-related features to comply with regulatory or reasonable commercial requirements without prior user notice, where reasonably necessary.
