Risk Disclaimer

1. No Financial Advice

BASTION is a technology platform that provides AI-generated market analysis and risk intelligence. Nothing on this platform constitutes financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice. You should not treat any of the platform's content as such. BASTION does not recommend that any cryptocurrency should be bought, sold, or held by you.

2. AI Model Limitations

BASTION's risk assessments are generated by the BASTION-32B AI model. You should understand that:

• AI models can and do produce incorrect predictions
• Historical backtest performance does not guarantee future results
• The model may not account for black swan events, regulatory changes, or extreme market conditions
• Risk scores and confidence levels are probabilistic estimates, not guarantees
• The model is trained on historical data and may not adapt to novel market regimes

3. Trading Risks

Cryptocurrency derivatives trading carries extreme risk:

• Leverage risk: Leveraged positions can result in losses exceeding your initial margin
• Liquidation risk: Your entire position can be liquidated if margin requirements are not met
• Volatility risk: Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and can move significantly in short periods
• Liquidity risk: Markets may lack sufficient liquidity for you to exit positions at desired prices
• Exchange risk: Cryptocurrency exchanges may experience outages, hacks, or insolvency
• Regulatory risk: Regulatory changes may affect the legality or viability of trading activities

4. Execution Engine Risks

If you enable BASTION's automated execution engine, additional risks apply:

• Orders may be executed at prices different from expected (slippage)
• Network latency between BASTION and exchanges may delay execution
• The system may fail to execute or may execute incorrectly during high volatility
• Technical failures (server downtime, API errors) may prevent timely execution
• You remain fully responsible for all trades executed by the engine

5. Past Performance

Any backtest results, historical performance metrics, or win rates displayed on the Platform are based on historical data and simulated conditions. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Actual trading results may differ materially from backtested results due to market conditions, execution quality, and other factors.

6. Independent Verification

All risk scores, signals, and analysis provided by BASTION should be independently verified before making trading decisions. Do not rely solely on BASTION's AI-generated assessments. Always conduct your own research and analysis.

7. Limitation of Liability

BASTION Systems, its founders, employees, and affiliates shall not be held liable for any trading losses, damages, or other consequences arising from the use of the Platform. This includes losses from:

• Following AI-generated signals or recommendations
• Automated trade execution
• Platform downtime or technical failures
• Incorrect or delayed market data
• Security breaches or unauthorized access

8. Acknowledgment

By using BASTION, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Risk Disclaimer, that you are aware of the risks involved in cryptocurrency trading, and that you accept full responsibility for your trading decisions and their outcomes.
