Such forward-looking statements which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about THESAURUM, may include, but are not limited to, projections of future financial performance of relevant products based on our relevant strategies and anticipated trends in our business and industry, statements concerning THESAURUM’ plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical or current facts.

New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact that these factors will have on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results, level of activity, performance or achievementsto differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Our inclusion of such projections in any report or document should not be regarded as a representation that the projections will prove to be correct. We do not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of any report to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations and we do not intend to do so.

Increased competition could result in under- utilisation of employees, reduced operating margins and loss of market share;
1.2. Digital Currencies risks. Digital currencies are backed by technology and trust. Digital currencies are decentralized and unregulated digital currencies. They neither have a centralized issuer, nor an institution in control of its supply, value or turnover. They are generally not legal tender and are not backed by governments. The circulation and trading of digital currencies on the market depends on the consensus on its value between the relevant market participants. Digital currencies are primarily used by speculators and are used relatively less on retail and commercial markets;
1.3. Digital Currency Protocol Risk. We do not own or control the underlying software protocols which govern the operation of digital assets / digital currencies supported by digital currency exchange. Generally, the underlying protocols are ‘open source’ and anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute them. We are not able to guarantee the functionality or security of network operations. You acknowledge and accept the risk that underlying software protocols relating to any digital currency you receive by generating request may change. In particular, the underlying protocols are likely to be subject to sudden changes in operating rules (forks).
