Risk Disclaimer
Important Notice
This risk disclaimer applies to all services provided by EdgeScan. By using our platform, you acknowledge and accept the risks described below.
1. Not Financial Advice
EdgeScan provides market intelligence tools, data analysis, and AI-generated probability estimates for prediction markets. Nothing on our platform constitutes financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, or any other form of professional advice. All signals, edge calculations, probability estimates, and bot configurations are informational tools — not recommendations to buy, sell, or hold any position.
2. Prediction Market Risks
Loss of capital: Prediction markets involve the risk of total loss of your invested capital. You can lose 100% of any position. Past performance of signals, bots, or paper trading results does not guarantee future results.
Market risk: Prediction market prices are volatile and can move rapidly based on news events, market sentiment, and manipulation. Prices may not reflect true probabilities.
Liquidity risk: Some markets may have insufficient liquidity to enter or exit positions at desired prices. Slippage can significantly impact returns.
Resolution risk: Markets may resolve differently than expected. Resolution criteria may be ambiguous or disputed. Platform operators have final authority on market resolution.
Counterparty risk: Prediction market platforms may face insolvency, regulatory action, hacking, or operational failures. EdgeScan is not responsible for platform-level risks.
3. AI Signal Accuracy
Our AI probability estimates are generated using machine learning models that analyze historical data, news, sentiment, and market patterns. These estimates have inherent limitations:
AI models can produce incorrect estimates due to data quality issues, novel event types, or market regime changes. Our stated win rates are based on historical back-testing and may not reflect future performance. AI confidence levels do not guarantee accuracy — a 90% confidence signal can still be wrong. Edge calculations are based on the difference between AI estimates and market prices, both of which are uncertain.
4. Bot and Automation Risks
Automated trading systems (bots) carry additional risks including but not limited to: software bugs that may cause unintended trades, API failures that may prevent order execution or cancellation, strategy logic errors that may result in losses, rapid position accumulation during volatile periods, and system downtime that may leave positions unmanaged.
You are solely responsible for all trades executed by your bots. We strongly recommend starting with paper trading before using real capital.
5. Regulatory Risks
Prediction markets are subject to varying and evolving regulations across jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to ensure that participation in prediction markets is legal in your jurisdiction. Regulatory changes may impact your ability to use prediction market platforms or access your funds.
6. Platform Risks
EdgeScan integrates with third-party prediction market platforms. We have no control over these platforms and are not responsible for their uptime, security, or resolution of disputes. API connections may be interrupted, delayed, or unavailable. Data from third-party platforms may contain errors or be delayed.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, EdgeScan and its officers, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of our platform, including but not limited to trading losses, lost profits, data loss, or service interruptions.
8. Your Responsibilities
You should never invest more than you can afford to lose. You should perform your own research before taking any position. You should understand the specific rules and risks of each prediction market platform you use. You should start with paper trading to test strategies before using real capital. You should consult with a qualified financial advisor if you have questions about the suitability of prediction market trading for your circumstances.
9. Acknowledgment
By using EdgeScan, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted this risk disclaimer in its entirety. You agree that EdgeScan provides tools and information — not advice — and that all trading decisions are made at your own risk and discretion.
