Prediction-market trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all users. Before using Polyterminus, please read and understand the risks described below. If you are unsure whether prediction-market trading is appropriate for you, seek independent professional advice.
1. You can lose your entire stake
Every position you open can resolve at 0¢ (a total loss of principal) even if the market seemed likely to resolve the other way. Historical or implied probabilities are not guarantees. Never trade more than you can afford to lose entirely.
2. Not financial advice
Polyterminus is a software tool. AI-generated market briefs, whale leaderboards, technical signals, copy-trading suggestions, and any other output are educational information only. They are not personalised investment advice. We are not a registered broker, dealer, investment adviser, or licensed financial professional.
3. Market and resolution risk
- Price volatility. Prediction-market prices can move by tens of cents in seconds on news or resolution-related events.
- Liquidity risk. Many markets, including at the moment of resolution, have thin books. Your exit price may be materially worse than the last-seen tick.
- Resolution risk. Polymarket markets settle via oracles (UMA in most cases). Ambiguous or disputed outcomes can delay or alter resolution.
- Correlated positions. Multiple similar bets can lose simultaneously on a single event.
4. Automation and copy-trading risk
Automated features (AI agents, copy-trading autopilot, conditional orders) can fail due to API downtime, network latency, or bugs. A configured take-profit or stop-loss may not fire in every market condition, especially during extreme volatility or when the order book is empty. Always monitor open positions. Copying a whale wallet does not guarantee similar returns — past P&L is not predictive.
5. Third-party infrastructure risk
Polyterminus depends on Polymarket, Google Cloud, and third-party AI providers to function. An outage, API change, or geographic block from any of these can interrupt trading. Polymarket enforces its own KYC and geographic restrictions independent of Polyterminus.
6. Regulatory risk
Prediction markets and the regulatory treatment of prediction-market trading differ substantially by jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to determine whether trading on Polymarket is legal for you and to comply with your local tax and reporting obligations.
7. Non-custodial does not mean risk-free
Polyterminus is non-custodial: we never hold your funds. But your Polymarket wallet is still exposed to smart-contract risk, oracle risk, and the risk that you lose access to your own signer key. Back up your keys. We cannot recover them.
8. Cybersecurity risk
Phishing, credential theft, and browser-based malware are real risks for anyone trading online. Never share your Polymarket signer key with anyone who is not app.polyterminus.com. We will never DM you or email you to ask for it.
9. No performance guarantees
Nothing in Polyterminus — no signal, no gauge, no whale leaderboard, no AI brief, no strategy suggestion — is a guarantee of profit. Past performance of markets, whales, or your own account does not guarantee future results.
10. Acknowledgement
By using Polyterminus, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Risk Disclosure and accept full responsibility for your trading decisions. If you do not understand or accept these risks, do not use the Service.
