Crypto assets and electronic payment instruments may incur losses due to price fluctuations.

For electronic payment instruments denominated in foreign currencies, the converted value in Japanese Yen may decrease compared to the time of purchase due to fluctuations in exchange rates.

Crypto assets and electronic payment instruments may lose their value if the transfer record mechanism fails.

If our company goes bankrupt, there is a possibility that deposited money, crypto assets, and electronic payment instruments cannot be returned.

Crypto assets and electronic payment instruments can only be used for payment if the recipient agrees.

There are other points to note when trading crypto assets and electronic payment instruments handled by our company. Before starting transactions, please carefully read the "Comprehensive Service Terms and Conditions," "Crypto Asset Transaction Explanation (Pre-Contract Document)," "Electronic Payment Instrument Transaction Explanation (Pre-Contract Document)" for each service, and fully understand the transaction details, mechanisms, risks, etc., before making transactions at your own discretion.
