No advice 

The Platform allows customers that have registered to open an account with Kings Traders to trade digital assets with Kings Traders in a principal capacity.  After accepting a customer order, the Platform may then place an order with Kings Traders’s counterparties’ platforms (e.g., Huobi or Binance) on the basis of  aggregated outstanding positions so that Kings Traders may complete the customer’s order on the Platform.  In both the trade with its customer and the trade with its counterparty, Kings Traders acts in a principal capacity. Customers can utilize various proprietary automated trading systems (“trading bots”) offered by Kings Traders in executing their trades by filling in the trading parameters in respect of the chosen trading bot.  The operation of any trading bot is dictated by the parameters set by the customer.  No trading bot has the ability to exercise any discretion with regard to any trade position without the input of the customer.  A customer may stop the operation of any trading bot at any time, and withdraw all digital assets involved, including principal and realized profit or loss, at any time.

Kings Traders is not licensed in any jurisdiction as a broker, financial advisor, investment advisor, portfolio manager or tax advisor.  Nothing contained in the Platform constitutes investment, legal, tax or other advice.  You should not rely on the contents of the Platform as advice or to make any decision.  Before making any trading or investment decision, you should obtain professional advice specific to your circumstances, and obtain and read the terms and conditions and other information relevant to any trade or investment, including risk disclosures pertaining to such trade or investment.  Kings Traders does not make any determination as to the suitability of any trade or investment conducted on the Platform and makes no representation or warranty that any such trade or investment is suitable for you.  Any statement of risks of any trade or investment referenced on the Platform should not be regarded as a full disclosure of all risks. 

By accessing the Platform, you acknowledge and agree that Kings Traders is not responsible for your use of any information that you obtain from the Platform, that your trading or investment decisions are made on your own for which you bear sole responsibility, and that you use the Platform and the trading bots at your sole risk. Also, Kings Traders shall not be liable for any liability caused by your usage of any information that you obtain from the Platform.
