Risk Disclosure
This Risk Disclosure statement is provided by VeraTenet LLC ("Company," "we," "our," or "us") to ensure that all users of the Meridian Edge platform fully understand the risks associated with prediction markets and the limitations of data analytics services before making any decisions.
Please read this entire document carefully. Your use of the Services constitutes your acknowledgment that you have read, understood, and accepted all risks described herein.
Section 1 — Nature of Our Services
Meridian Edge provides data aggregation, statistical analysis, and market intelligence tools for informational and research purposes only. We are not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, financial planner, or licensed platform. Nothing we provide constitutes:
- Investment advice or recommendations
- Financial planning or wealth management services
- Market data signals intended to be acted upon directly
- Guarantees of profit or protection against loss
- An endorsement of any particular market, contract, or strategy
All data, analytics, and information provided through the Services are derived from publicly available sources and internal statistical models. This information may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate, and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any decision.
Section 2 — Key Risk Statements
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. Historical tracking data and model performance metrics shown on the platform reflect past results under specific market conditions that may not recur. There is no guarantee that any strategy, signal, or analysis will produce profitable outcomes in the future.
YOU CAN LOSE ALL CAPITAL YOU DEPLOY IN PREDICTION MARKETS. Prediction market contracts are binary — they settle at $1.00 or $0.00. Every position you take carries the risk of total loss of the capital invested in that position.
OUR MODELS AND DATA ARE NOT INFALLIBLE. The statistical models underlying our analytics are subject to model error, data quality issues, look-ahead bias, overfitting, and unforeseen market regime changes. Model outputs should be treated as one input among many, not as a definitive truth.
REGULATORY STATUS IS UNCERTAIN AND EVOLVING. The regulatory framework governing prediction markets and event contracts is subject to rapid change. Market access, contract availability, and the legality of using certain contract types may change without notice based on regulatory actions.
PLATFORM AND TECHNOLOGY RISK IS REAL. Platforms can experience outages, API failures, order execution delays, or settlement errors. We do not control third-party platforms and cannot be held responsible for their failures or changes in their policies, fee structures, or market rules.
ONLY USE CAPITAL YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE ENTIRELY. You should never allocate funds to prediction market participation that you cannot afford to lose completely. Do not use borrowed money, emergency funds, retirement savings, or any capital whose loss would cause you material hardship.
Section 3 — Specific Risk Factors
Market Risk
Prediction market prices can move rapidly and unpredictably in response to news, events, and sentiment shifts. Prices may move against your position even when your analytical thesis is correct. Markets may close, be voided, or have settlement rules changed at any time by the operating platform.
Information Risk
The data we display is aggregated from multiple sources and may be delayed, incomplete, or contain errors. Third-party data providers may change their data formats, access policies, or pricing. We do not guarantee the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of any data displayed on the platform.
Model Risk
Statistical and analytical models are built on historical data and assumptions that may not hold in future market environments. Models can degrade in performance over time as market dynamics change. Model outputs reflect correlations observed in training data, not causal relationships or guarantees about future outcomes.
Liquidity Risk
Prediction markets can have thin liquidity, particularly for smaller or niche events. Wide bid-ask spreads and limited order book depth can make it difficult to enter or exit positions at desired prices. You may be unable to close a position at a reasonable price when you need to.
Platform Risk
Third-party platforms may suspend operations, change fee structures, alter settlement rules, delist markets, or cease operations with little or no notice. Platform technical failures can result in missed entries, failed exits, or incorrect settlement. We are not affiliated with or responsible for any platform.
Regulatory Risk
The legal and regulatory status of prediction markets varies by jurisdiction and is subject to change. Using certain event contracts may be restricted or prohibited in your jurisdiction. New laws or regulations could limit market access, impose participation restrictions, or require platform changes that affect your ability to use the Services or use related platforms.
Technology Risk
Our Services depend on internet connectivity, cloud infrastructure, and third-party APIs. System failures, cyberattacks, data breaches, or infrastructure outages could interrupt service availability. You should not rely solely on Meridian Edge for time-sensitive decisions. We cannot guarantee uninterrupted access to the Services.
Section 4 — No Professional Advice
Nothing contained on the Meridian Edge platform or in any communication from VeraTenet LLC constitutes legal, tax, investment, financial, or other professional advice. Before making any financial decisions, you should consult with qualified professionals — including a licensed financial advisor, tax professional, or attorney — regarding your specific circumstances.
VeraTenet LLC employees, contractors, and representatives are not licensed financial advisors and cannot provide personalized investment advice. Any information provided in response to customer service inquiries is general in nature and does not constitute professional advice.
Section 5 — Suitability
Prediction market participation and the use of advanced analytics tools may not be suitable for all individuals. You should consider whether participating in prediction markets is appropriate for you given your:
- Financial situation and ability to absorb losses
- Investment objectives and time horizon
- Experience and knowledge of financial markets
- Risk tolerance
- Applicable legal and regulatory constraints
If you are uncertain about the suitability of prediction market participation for your circumstances, you should seek professional advice before proceeding.
