Yes, these may be boring but they are a must.

The PROOF Platform (the Platform) is a proof-of-concept protocol operated by PROOF Platform Pty Ltd (PROOF Platform, we, us or our) which enables users to design and mint their own cryptocurrency token (the Token or the Tokens). The Platform is offered at https://proofplatform.io and allows users to submit a form to be processed by us (Online Form). Your use of the Platform involves various risks, including losses while digital assets are being supplied to liquidity pools and losses due to fluctuation of prices of tokens in trading or liquidity pools, including so-called impermanence cost (also known as opportunity cost). The risks you may encounter will likely depend on what type of token you design, and any utility it may offer. For example, some Tokens may have the potential to be considered a financial product, while others which offer staking could be susceptible to liquidity risks.
