Risk Disclosure — Arbweb Trading Platform

Last updated: May 14, 2026

This document describes the risks associated with using Arbweb Trading Platform (the "Service") and with trading cryptocurrency perpetual futures using arbitrage strategies. You must read this Risk Disclosure carefully before activating a subscription and starting trading operations.

By using the Service, you confirm that you understand the risks described herein and accept them voluntarily and knowingly.

1. General Risks of Cryptocurrency Trading

Cryptocurrencies and related derivatives are highly volatile financial instruments. Prices can move sharply within seconds in response to news, large market participants, liquidations, and other factors.

When trading perpetual futures with leverage:

• losses may significantly exceed the initial amount deposited if the price moves unfavorably and margin is insufficient;
• total loss of capital on the exchange trading account is possible;
• forced liquidations may occur, especially during sharp market moves.

2. Algorithmic Trading Risks

Arbweb automatically sends trading commands to exchanges based on the User's configuration. Algorithmic trading carries specific risks:

• the bot operates much faster than a human can react; an incorrect configuration can produce a sequence of losing trades within minutes;
• technical failures (bugs, network errors, data inconsistencies) can cause unwanted behavior, including extra orders, missed exits, or duplicated positions;
• past performance is not indicative of future results: market conditions change.

3. Arbitrage Strategy Risks

A delta-neutral arbitrage strategy relies on price divergence between two exchanges and aims to capture profit when the spread narrows. This approach has specific vulnerabilities:

• premature spread closure — the spread may collapse before the bot has built the planned position;
• one-legged exposure — if one exchange fills an order while the other does not (rejection, partial fill, API outage), the User is temporarily exposed to a directional position equivalent to outright directional trading with full market risk;
• volume imbalance — due to differing liquidity or slippage;
• loss of liquidity — in thin markets, execution at expected prices may become impossible;
• adverse spread movement on exit — closing the position may cost more than entering it.

Cross-exchange arbitrage is not a "risk-free" strategy, despite common perception.

4. Exchange Risks

Arbweb does not control exchanges and is not liable for their actions:

• an exchange may freeze the User's account, including without notice;
• an exchange may become insolvent or suspend operations;
• an exchange may restrict withdrawals, change position limits, margin requirements, or funding rates;
• an exchange may change or break its API, temporarily preventing the Service from operating;
• an exchange may prohibit algorithmic trading in certain regions.

5. Technical Risks

Like any software, the Service may contain bugs and be subject to technical failures: bugs in code, network issues between the Service and exchanges, inaccuracies in market data, failures of infrastructure providers, attacks on infrastructure. If a failure occurs, the bot may stop or behave unpredictably. The User must be able to intervene manually through the relevant exchange's interface.

6. Regulatory Risks

Regulation of cryptocurrencies, derivatives, and algorithmic trading is actively evolving and differs substantially across countries. In some jurisdictions, trading cryptocurrency derivatives is prohibited or restricted. The User is solely responsible for determining the legality of using the Service in their jurisdiction.

7. Tax Responsibility

Arbweb does not provide tax advice. Income from cryptocurrency trading is taxable in most jurisdictions. The User is responsible for maintaining records of operations, calculating and paying applicable taxes, and consulting a qualified tax advisor when needed.

8. API Key Risks

Exchange API keys are critically sensitive material. Despite encryption on our side:

• if the User issues a key with withdrawal permission, there is a risk of unauthorized withdrawal in case of compromise;
• if the User reuses the same key across multiple services, the risk of compromise increases;
• if the User does not restrict the key by IP, anyone obtaining the key could trade on their behalf.

It is strongly recommended to issue keys with trading permission only, no withdrawal rights, and, where supported, restrict them by IP.

9. User Responsibility

The User decides whether to use the Service and how to configure trading. Arbweb provides a tool, but all trading decisions — including the choice of pairs, volumes, leverage, spread range, and start/stop timing — are made by the User. All financial outcomes — profit or loss — belong to the User. Arbweb does not share in profits and does not compensate losses.

10. Practical Recommendations

• do not invest more than you can afford to lose entirely;
• start small — run several sessions with minimal capital to verify that the bot behaves as expected;
• review every parameter before each start — especially volume, leverage, symbol, and direction;
• issue API keys without withdrawal rights and restrict them by IP where possible;
• keep the exchange UI accessible in case manual intervention is needed;
• monitor margin on both exchanges and avoid excessive leverage;
• diversify — do not concentrate all capital on a single exchange.

11. No Guarantees and No Financial Advice

Arbweb does not guarantee profit, does not provide investment, legal, or tax advice, and does not make recommendations on specific trades. Any historical performance data, screenshots, or strategy examples are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not a promise of results.

12. User Acknowledgment

By using the Service, the User confirms that they:

• understand the risks described in this document;
• have sufficient experience with cryptocurrency exchanges and derivatives;
• use the Service at their own risk;
• will not bring claims against Arbweb for trading losses.
