​Risk Disclosure Statement

Important Notice to Users:

Purchasing and trading in digital assets, including but not limited to “stakes” associated with music streaming performance, involves significant risk. This Risk Disclosure Statement is provided to help you understand the nature of these risks so that you can make informed decisions before engaging in any transactions on our platform.

1. Market Risk and Volatility
The value of stakes is tied to streaming data from third-party platforms and may fluctuate significantly over time. Increases or decreases in an artist’s or track’s streaming performance can lead to sharp and unexpected changes in the value of related stakes. As such, prices may rise or fall quickly. There is no guarantee that the value of a stake will increase or that you will recover the amount originally purchased.

2. Third-Party Data Risks
Stake values are derived from music streaming data provided by external third-party services. While we strive to ensure accuracy, we do not control or audit this data. As a result, stake valuations may be subject to inaccuracies, delays, interruptions, or errors in the collection, transmission, or interpretation of such data. We do not accept liability for any losses that may arise from reliance on data affected by such issues.

3. Liquidity Risk
Digital asset markets, including the stake marketplace, may experience periods of low liquidity, which could affect your ability to buy or sell stakes at a desirable price or within a reasonable time frame. There is no assurance that a market will exist for any particular stake at any given time or that any buy/sell orders will be filled at any price displayed at the time the order was placed.

4. No Guarantee of Returns
Past performance, popularity, or streaming success of a song or artist does not guarantee future performance or returns. Trading stakes is speculative in nature and involves a risk of loss.

5. Platform and Technology Risks
Our platform may be subject to technical issues including outages, bugs, or cyberattacks, which could impact the availability or functionality of the stake trading system. Additionally, trades or valuations could be disrupted due to maintenance, updates, or unforeseen failures.

6. Regulatory and Legal Risk
The regulatory framework surrounding digital assets and music-based financial instruments is evolving. Future changes in law, regulation, or policy could impact your ability to trade stakes or affect their value. Dune stakes do not meet the criteria as set by the 'Howey test' to be considered an investment or security. Stake values are decided by outside factors and not supply or demand. Dune Stakes have limited real-world value and transactions within the platform are also limited. Stakes are not to be considered an investment vehicle.

7. User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for your purchases and decisions. You should carefully assess your financial situation, risk tolerance, and goals before trading stakes. You should not trade stakes with funds you cannot afford to lose.

By using our platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accept the risks outlined above. If you are unsure about the suitability of this type of product for your personal circumstances, you should seek advice from an independent financial advisor.
