Last updated: January 3rd, 2026

Important Notice

Please read this disclaimer carefully before using Valeo One ("Valeo," "the App," "our service"). By accessing or using Valeo, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this disclaimer.


Not Financial Advice

Valeo is a technology platform that provides cryptocurrency wallet and transaction services. We do not provide financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.

You acknowledge that:

  • No content in the App, documentation, or communications constitutes financial advice

  • We do not recommend or endorse any specific cryptocurrency or investment strategy

  • All investment decisions are your sole responsibility

  • You should consult qualified financial, tax, and legal professionals before making financial decisions

  • Past performance of cryptocurrencies is not indicative of future results

Valeo is not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial institution. We do not offer investment management, portfolio advice, or financial planning services.


Cryptocurrency Risks

Cryptocurrency involves substantial risk and is not suitable for everyone. You may lose some or all of your invested capital.

Market Risks

Extreme Volatility: Cryptocurrency prices can fluctuate dramatically within short periods. Assets can lose 50% or more of their value in days or hours. Even stablecoins designed to maintain value can experience depegging events.

Total Loss: Cryptocurrencies can become worthless. Projects can fail, networks can be compromised, and tokens can lose all value permanently. Never invest more than you can afford to lose completely.

No Guarantees: There are no guarantees of returns, price stability, or value retention. Market predictions are speculative and often wrong.

Technical Risks

Irreversible Transactions: Blockchain transactions cannot be reversed, cancelled, or refunded. If you send cryptocurrency to the wrong address, it is permanently lost.

Smart Contract Risk: Decentralized protocols and smart contracts may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or exploits that could result in loss of funds.

Network Failures: Blockchain networks can experience downtime, congestion, forks, or consensus failures that may impact transaction processing or asset accessibility.

Wallet Security: If you lose your recovery phrase or private keys, your cryptocurrency is permanently inaccessible. No one, including Valeo, can recover lost keys.

Regulatory Risks

Legal Uncertainty: Cryptocurrency regulations vary by jurisdiction and are rapidly evolving. Future regulations may restrict, prohibit, or tax cryptocurrency activities in ways that negatively impact value or accessibility.

Compliance Changes: Regulatory changes may require us to modify services, restrict access in certain regions, or implement additional verification requirements.

Tax Obligations: You are responsible for determining and paying any applicable taxes on cryptocurrency transactions. Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction and transaction type.

Operational Risks

Service Interruptions: The App may experience downtime, maintenance periods, or technical issues that temporarily prevent access to your wallet or transaction services.

Third-Party Dependencies: Valeo relies on third-party services including blockchain networks, price data providers, and infrastructure providers. Failures by these parties may impact our services.

Cybersecurity Threats: Despite security measures, cryptocurrency services face ongoing threats from hackers, phishing attacks, malware, and other cyber threats.
