4.1 Regulatory changes. Blockchain technologies and related services are subject to continuous regulatory changes and scrutiny around the world, including but not limited to anti-money laundering and financial regulations. You acknowledge that certain Services, including their availability, could be impacted by one or more regulatory requirements.
4.2 Tax. Transactions or operations in Crypto Assets , or more generally Crypto Assets events, including but not limited to exchanges, air-drops, forks, and gains arising from staking, may be considered tax events according to the legislations law under which you are subject to taxation. These rules may be unclear or subject to change, and you are therefore encouraged to consult your own tax or accounting adviser before engaging into Crypto Assets activities.
4.3 Technology. Users understand that some of the technology supported or made available through the Services are new, untested and not provided by Quantum Ledger Bond and therefore outside of Quantum Ledger Bond’s control. Advances in cryptography, or other technical advances such as the development of quantum computers, could present risks to blockchain networks which could result in the theft or loss of Crypto Assets. Other adverse changes in market forces or in the technology, broadly construed, may prevent or compromise Quantum Ledger Bond’s performance under these Terms.
4.4 Cybersecurity. Hackers or other groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with Quantum Ledger Bond’s products and information systems in several ways, including without limitation denial of service attacks, side-channel attacks, spoofing, smurfing, malware attacks, or consensus-based attacks.
4.5 Underlying blockchain protocols. All transactions created through the Services are confirmed and recorded on blockchain networks. Such networks are decentralized peer-to-peer networks run by independent third parties, which Quantum Ledger Bond does not own, control or operate.

On occasions, the blockchain protocol of a given Crypto Asset may change, which may have consequences on its key characteristics including but not limited to their availability, name, security, valuation value or the way it operates. Forks entail that forked Crypto Assets may be misdirected or replicated. In any such events, Quantum Ledger Bond may decide, at its discretion, to suspend support of the impacted Crypto Asset for as long as Quantum Ledger Bond deems necessary. When it so decides, Quantum Ledger Bond will endeavor to give you advance notice, but may not be able to. You should keep yourself apprised of such events and make all necessary arrangements.
4.6 No retrieval of Private Keys. The only existing backup is with you.

Any third party with knowledge of one or more of your 24-word Recovery Phrase or PIN can gain control of the Private Keys associated with your Quantum Ledger Bond Device or of the 24-word Recovery Phrase, and therefore steal your Crypto Assets, without any possibility for you or Quantum Ledger Bond to retrieve them.

Before you approve an operation, you must always double check that the information displayed on your mobile or desktop screen is correct and matches the information displayed on your Quantum Ledger Bond Device. Upon sending Crypto Assets, you are solely responsible for verifying that the recipient address, amount and fees are correct and that they are the same on both your computer or mobile and on your Quantum Ledger Bond Device’s screen. You also acknowledge that using unverified addresses to receive Crypto Assets comes at your own risk.
