  2. The values of VCs are highly volatile and tend to fluctuate, due to which there may be an increase or decrease in the value of the VC You receive after conversion. VCs are subject to large swings in value and may even become worthless. There is always an inherent risk of losses associated with buying, selling or trading in VCs. It is also possible that the valuation and price of VC changes after the transaction has been initiated by You or during the course of the transaction, and You are hereby advised of the same.
