3.1.1 loss of crypto due to hardware malfunction – if the hardware on which the App is stored (“Hardware”) breaks, you could lose the crypto stored on the Hardware (we note, however, the App for which this EULA is published does not store crypto on the Hardware);
3.1.2 currency fluctuation - the price of crypto may fall sharply and may even fall to zero;
3.1.3 uncertainty - crypto transactions may be unconfirmed for a period of time and some, although very unlikely, may never be confirmed (unconfirmed crypto transactions are not completed);
3.1.4 inability to reverse crypto transactions - if you send crypto to the wrong person (address), you may be unable to recover the crypto;
3.1.5 loss of critical information - crypto may be lost if you lose or forget any PINs or passwords necessary to access and spend your crypto;
3.1.6 unknown technical defects inherent in crypto; and
