Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) constitute a legal agreement between you and us governing the use of our website and our services.

1. ABOUT US

1.1. We are Sereno (“Sereno”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) and operate www.sereno.lat (our “website”) and app.sereno.lat (our “Platform”) and both collectively our “Services”.

1.2. To contact us, please email [email protected].

1.3. These Terms were last updated on Friday, 12th of April, 2024, and are the current and valid version.

2. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

2.1. The services of Sereno are intended to be used solely by users, natural or legal persons, who are residents, or have their seat in a country where trading virtual assets is legal and not prohibited or restricted, and countries where no special license is required.

2.2. Fiat-to-virtual currency and virtual currency-to-fiat currency transactions are accepted for users, natural or legal persons, who are residents, are incorporated or have their real seat in Latin America.

2.3. Depending on your country of residence, statutory seat or place of incorporation, you may be restricted or prohibited to use some or all the functions of this website. It is your responsibility to follow those rules and the laws of your country of residence and/or country from which you access this website and services that Sereno offers.

2.4. Any kind of trading of virtual assets and virtual currencies involves significant risk. The value of virtual assets / currencies has high volatility (value can increase and decrease significantly in a very short period of time and at any given moment). Such price fluctuations bring uncertainty. The value of a virtual currency and collapse in demand may be influenced by many factors, including irrational (or rational) bubbles, loss of confidence in the virtual currency, changes in software development, government decisions, creation of a competitive currency, technical problems, political or non-political statements, statements of influencers and news and hacker-attacks. Your virtual assets may be lost by losing your password or other security codes.

2.5. Virtual currencies have special risks that are not generally shared with the official currencies, because they are not issued by governments, or with commodities or goods that are tangible or registered in the official registry. Virtual currencies are intangible, decentralized, digital assets, backed by technology and trust. No central bank or other institution can take any measures to protect the value of virtual currency. Virtual currencies (hereinafter also crypto currencies) are an autonomous and largely unregulated system of firms and individuals issuing currencies. The risk of loss in trading, buying, selling or holding virtual assets / currencies can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether trading in virtual assets / currency or any levered or derivative virtual assets is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. Be careful to keep your private keys, passwords, security codes and words for yourself and change them on a regular basis.

2.6. Sereno does not provide and will never provide any investment advice in connection with the Services.

2.7. Any decision to purchase or sell virtual assets is solely your decision and we shall not be liable for any loss suffered. Please note that after you transfer the virtual assets to a certain virtual assets wallet account such transfer cannot be revoked and we do not accept any responsibility for your actions.

3. SERVICE DISCLAIMER
