Disclaimer on Publication of Advertisements and Paid Content
Transparency and Responsibility for Advertisements
“The Cryptonomist” online publication undertakes to carefully select advertisements and paid content published on its pages, with the aim of providing readers with information that is as accurate and transparent as possible, in compliance with the regulations in force in the European Union and the Republic of Cyprus, including EU Regulation 2023/1114 (MiCA), Cypriot anti-money laundering legislation (L. 188(I)/2007 as amended), the EU Payment Services Directive (PSD2), EU Regulation 2022/2065 (DSA), and CySEC guidelines.
However, notwithstanding all reasonable verification and control efforts, the publication cannot absolutely guarantee the honesty, correctness, and legality of every advertiser or of the advertising content proposed. The responsibility for the truthfulness, legality, clarity, and compliance of advertising messages and paid content lies exclusively with the advertisers and/or intermediaries that propose them.
Distinction Between Editorial and Advertising Content
All advertising and paid content is clearly identified as such (“Advertisement,” “Sponsored Content,” etc.) and is separated from editorial content produced by the editorial staff. We invite readers to pay particular attention to this distinction and not to consider advertising content as independent journalistic information.
Warning to Readers on Crypto-Assets
The publication urges readers to exercise the utmost caution when undertaking investment operations in crypto-assets or digital financial instruments. Crypto-assets are subject to high volatility and risk of total loss of invested capital. It is recommended to carefully evaluate each advertising proposal, to consult qualified sources, and to always verify the reliability and compliance of operators with applicable regulations.
Publisher’s Limitations of Liability
The Publisher disclaims any liability for any damages, losses, or consequences arising from reliance on advertisements or paid content published on the publication. The Publisher reserves the right to refuse, suspend, or remove at any time advertisements or content that appear, even potentially, contrary to law, misleading, fraudulent, or non-compliant with its policies, without any obligation to refund any fees paid.
Regulatory References
This policy is adopted in accordance with the main EU and Cypriot regulations on advertising, consumer protection, transparency, and regulation of crypto-assets.
