PolyMaster Risk Disclosure

1. General risk warning

Trading, prediction-market participation, and any attempt to follow or automate another participant’s activity involve substantial risk. You can lose some or all of the capital you commit, and losses can occur rapidly and without warning. You should not commit funds you cannot afford to lose.

Past activity, rankings, or observed Source-Address behavior do not predict future results. Nothing shown on the Platform guarantees future profitability, liquidity, or execution quality. PolyMaster provides software tools only and does not give investment, legal, tax, or financial advice.

2. Operational signals are not trading results

Readiness checks, copied-trade planning, order counts, and blocked-order explanations are software-operational signals. They do not prove that any order will be accepted, priced, routed, filled, or profitable, and they must not be treated as trading results or as a promise of any outcome.

3. Copy-trading and source-following risk

• A copied source may be mistaken, manipulative, illiquid, late, inconsistent, or acting against your interests.
• A source’s public activity may be incomplete, delayed, stale, malformed, or not meaningfully copyable.
• A source may trade with capital, hedges, information, fee arrangements, venue access, or execution conditions you do not have.
• A source may close or reverse positions before your configuration detects or reacts to the event.
• A source may stop trading entirely or trade in markets you cannot or should not trade.

4. Execution and market-structure risk

• Prices may move before a copied or automated action can be processed.
• Tick size, minimum order size, notional limits, venue rules, or market-state rules may prevent or alter execution.
• Markets may be illiquid, paused, closed, resolved, archived, or otherwise unavailable.
• Slippage, partial fills, queue priority, rejections, and stale metadata can materially change outcomes.
• Network conditions, downtime, clock drift, rate limits, or vendor outages may delay or prevent actions.

5. Live order submission and automation risk

When you enable live or automated features, the Platform may submit, modify, or decline real orders to third-party venues on your behalf based on your standing instructions, without further action by you. You are solely responsible for your configuration and for every order placed under your account.

Automation can act faster than you can intervene and can repeat or compound an error before you notice it. Guardrails such as kill switches, readiness checks, and liquidity checks may reduce but cannot eliminate the risk of unintended, duplicate, mispriced, or unfilled orders.

6. Technology and automation failure risk

Automated systems can fail in ways not immediately visible to you. Bugs, dependency failures, API changes, infrastructure incidents, data corruption, secret-provider issues, and queue or worker problems can all alter results.

Even where the Platform includes risk checks, validation, and monitoring, those controls may not prevent all undesirable outcomes, and you should not rely on them as a guarantee of safety or correctness.

7. Non-custodial and third-party venue risk

PolyMaster is non-custodial and does not hold your funds or positions. Orders are executed by third-party venues that set their own rules, fees, pricing, settlement, and market-resolution terms, which can change or fail. PolyMaster is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Polymarket or any other venue.

You bear the risk of venue insolvency, suspension, restriction, market mis-resolution, on-chain finality, smart-contract defects, and any acts or omissions of any venue, wallet, or infrastructure provider you connect.

8. Compliance, legal, and jurisdictional risk

The legal status of prediction markets, crypto assets, automated trading, and copied strategies varies by jurisdiction and can change. You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of the Platform and any connected venue is lawful where you are located and for complying with all applicable venue rules, restrictions, sanctions programs, and tax obligations.

Eligibility, available features, or access may be restricted or withdrawn based on jurisdiction, venue requirements, or compliance considerations at any time.

9. Billing and economic risk

Platform membership fees, usage-based fees, builder fees, and venue, network, or third-party costs can affect the economics of any strategy even where gross results appear positive.

A strategy can become uneconomic because of fees, slippage, limited capacity, or operational overhead even if the source being followed appears successful.

10. Security and account risk

• Compromise of your email, device, exchange account, wallet, or secret-provider account may expose you to unauthorized activity or irreversible loss.
• Improper handling of credentials, private keys, or external secret references can result in account compromise.
• Because live features can submit real orders, compromised credentials could expose you to unauthorized trading or order submission.

11. No recommendation or guarantee

PolyMaster does not recommend any Source Address, market, asset, or strategy. Information presented by the Platform is not financial, legal, tax, or investment advice and must not be treated as a recommendation to transact.

You remain solely responsible for your own decisions, capital allocation, account security, tax treatment, and legal compliance.

12. Your acknowledgment

By accepting this Risk Disclosure and using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the material risks described above, that you may lose money or opportunities, and that software, market, venue, or compliance failures may occur even where product controls exist. You assume all such risks.

If you do not understand or accept these risks, you must not use the Platform. This Risk Disclosure is incorporated into the PolyMaster Terms of Service.
