This Warning on risks associated with Digital Assets (hereinafter referred to as the "Risk Warning") applies to all services provided by Freedom Finance Global PLC (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") to its clients in regards to Digital Assets. This Risk Warning is an integral part of the Agreement between the Company and the Clients and applies to the legal relations between the Company and the Clients in conjunction with the provisions of the Regulations on provision of brokerage (agency) services on the securities market (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations"), to which the Client adhered by entering into the Agreement with the Company. All terms capitalized in this Risk Warning that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Regulations and the applicable legislation of the AIFC (Astana International Financial Center).

This Risk Warning provides general and non-exhaustive information about the risks associated with transactions involving Digital Assets and the use of the Company’s financial services related to Digital Assets. Before engaging in transactions with Digital Assets or using the Company’s services related to Digital Assets, you should carefully consider whether the use of the Company’s relevant services is suitable for you, taking into account the information disclosed in this Risk Warning, the Regulations (including Annex 4 to the Regulations), as well as your personal circumstances and financial capacity.

Investments in Digital Assets and transactions involving Digital Assets carry risks, which include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Market Risk. Digital Assets are subject to the same market risks as any financial market instruments. However, Digital Assets are typically more volatile, and their value can fluctuate rapidly. Past performance of a Digital Asset does not guarantee future returns, and investments in Digital Assets always carry the risk of partial or total loss of invested capital.

• Liquidity Risk. Digital Assets may not always be liquid, and their alienation or circulation may be restricted due to technical failures on the part of intermediaries involved in transactions, technological infrastructure issues, or other technical and economic reasons. You may encounter the inability to buy, sell, store, transfer, send, receive, or otherwise dispose of acquired Digital Assets at any time.

• Intermediary Risk. The Company may use intermediaries to provide services related to Digital Assets. Such intermediaries may include infrastructure organizations such as payment service providers, custodians, Sub-Brokers, banking partners, crypto exchanges, liquidity providers, and other third parties. The availability of transactions with Digital Assets and the functionality of the Company’s services may be limited due to issues or additional requirements from intermediaries.

• Legal Risks. Digital Assets are not legal tender, and their legal status may vary across jurisdictions. The regulation of Digital Assets is under development and may change continuously. Changes in the regulation of Digital Assets could significantly impact their value, availability, and liquidity. The likelihood of legislative changes in the sphere of Digital Assets, the content of such changes, and their potential consequences for investors and owners of Digital Assets are unpredictable.

• Tax Risks. The regulation of taxation for Digital Assets is actively evolving and subject to change globally. Each Client is solely responsible for determining which taxes apply and must be paid in connection with transactions involving Digital Assets. Each Client is independently responsible for reporting and paying any taxes arising from transactions involving Digital Assets and acknowledges that the Company does not and is not obligated to provide legal or tax advice regarding Digital Assets. If a Client has doubts about their tax status or obligations, it is recommended to seek independent legal and tax advice.

• Technological Risks. Given the nature of Digital Assets and the technologies on which they are based, there are specific risks inherent to investments in Digital Assets, including but not limited to:

(i) Risks of malfunctions, defects, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, hacking, malware impacts, technical errors, and failures that may affect the value and tradability of Digital Assets;

(ii) Irreversibility of Digital Asset transactions, meaning losses due to the loss of Digital Assets resulting from fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable;

(iii) Heightened cybersecurity risks associated with the dangers of hacking attacks on the protocols or technologies underlying a Digital Asset;

(iv) Risk of losing access to Digital Assets if the keys (or components thereof) to the digital wallets holding the relevant Digital Assets are lost.

• Other Risks, including those specified in Section 5 («Risk Disclosure Risk Warning regarding the risks associated with investing in Digital Assets») of Annex 4 to the Regulations.

As the Client, you are solely responsible for assessing all risks related to Digital Assets, as outlined in this Risk Warning and the Company’s Regulations, when making investment decisions and conducting transactions. You independently determine whether any Digital Assets, investment strategies, or related transactions align with your personal investment goals and financial situation, and you bear responsibility for the consequences of the realization of any abovementioned risks, including (but not limited to) losses and liabilities arising from these risks. The Company does not recommend that you acquire, sell, or engage in transactions with any Digital Asset. Before deciding to buy, sell, or otherwise transact with Digital Assets, you should conduct your own research and consult a financial professional. The Company is not liable for your decisions to engage in transactions involving Digital Assets.

The Company does not provide investment recommendations or advice of any kind regarding Digital Assets, and no information or communication provided to you shall constitute or be interpreted as investment recommendations or advice of any nature.

The Company provides services related to Digital Assets only for a specific limited list of available Digital Assets in accordance with regulatory requirements. The list of Digital Assets for which the Company may provide regulated services may change over time, including through reductions. Such changes may result in the unavailability of transactions with previously accessible Digital Assets.

The Company may provide Retail Clients with access to fewer services related to Digital Assets compared to Professional Clients, as well as impose additional restrictions due to regulatory requirements and differences in knowledge and experience between these two client categories. The list of services related to Digital Assets available to Retail Clients and Professional Clients may be revised periodically in accordance with applicable regulations and/or at the Broker’s discretion. If the types of services related to Digital Assets or the terms of such services provided by the Company change, the Company reserves the right to amend or supplement the Regulations as necessary to reflect such changes.
