Terms of Use

Calypso Pay is a SaaS solution. Calypso Pay provides services to its users on the terms specified in this agreement. Please familiarize yourself with the terms below as they contain all significant aspects of relations between Calypso Pay and its users as well as describe possible risks of using the potential of our products.

Whereas

A. There are some RISKS related to any transactions with virtual currencies, cryptographic tokens and/or other digital assets. The risks described herein are not exhaustive. It is worth keeping in mind - the crypto industry is a new economic and technical area, it is quite possible that in your further use of Calypso Pay services and operations with tokens and/or other digital assets, new risks that cannot be currently foreseen and described may emerge.

The following risks are possible: 

Regulatory risks

There is no uniform approach to determination of legal status of virtual currencies, cryptographic tokens and/or other digital assets. Despite the current globalization level, countries do not have any uniform approach to their regulation. However, cryptocurrencies attract close attention of regulators in many countries, so in the near future countries will take steps on digital assets regulation. They can be subject to taxation, reporting, audit (or already are, depending on the state policy). 

Currently, the value of such assets is not backed by central banks and they do not have any possibility of such backing; digital assets are an autonomous global system supported by users’ reliance on the technology so cryptographic asset operations are subject to significant risk.

This risk consists in the fact that at any time the cryptocurrency you selected may be beyond the scope of law or, vice versa, may be recognized in a particular state. State regulator’s influence on the legal status of a cryptocurrency may result both in increase and decrease of its value.

Volatility risks

Transactions with cryptocurrencies involve certain risk levels related to their value. The retrospective value of your asset does not predict its future value. The price of virtual currencies, cryptographic tokens and/or other digital assets may go both upwards and downwards and may depend on economic, political, technological, social, psychological and other factors. Both well-known causes and causes that cannot be currently predicted may result in such movements. The value of cryptocurrencies may be impacted by several related factors or just by one.

There will always be a risk to incur losses due to transactions performed using virtual currencies, cryptographic tokens and/or other digital assets.

Blockchain network risks

Blockchain networks are based on confirmation of a transaction record (entry into a distributed ledger) by other participants of the distributed network. Due to this, the system requires some time to record your rights to cryptographic tokens and/or other digital assets, so you may see the result not immediately. 

Transactions related to virtual currencies, cryptographic tokens and/or other digital assets cannot be voluntarily cancelled. Financial losses caused by errors, accidental transactions or fraudulent actions cannot be refunded.

You should note that any transaction performed may remain unconfirmed by blockchain participants or cancelled.

Calypso Pay cannot influence blockchain networks in any manner and shall not be liable for operation of any blockchain network, for its vulnerability or unforeseen modifications, for possible attacks on protocols. 

Technical risks
