Blockchain technology and smart contracts are emerging and evolving, carrying both foreseeable and unforeseeable risks in areas such as security, financial stability, technical reliability, and regulatory compliance. The User acknowledges that participating in blockchain activities requires a high level of expertise and knowledge, as blockchain-related technologies are inherently volatile and complex. Factors contributing to this volatility may include adoption rates, speculative activity, security risks, manipulation, and evolving legal and regulatory frameworks.

21. Termination.

Neutral Trade may terminate these Terms of Use and its provision of products or services to a User immediately upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:

  1. the occurrence of any Events of Default;

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the User agrees that they will not be entitled to seek any form of injunctive or equitable relief, including any court orders or injunctions, in connection with their use of the Interface. This means that the User waives the right to any court action intended to compel or prohibit any specific action by the Company.

25. Entire Agreement.
