Capsa also publishes statutory financial information about verified Anchors on its Platform.

Capsa makes no representation regarding the accuracy of any published financial information and disclaims liability for the accuracy or otherwise of same.
Users are expected to perform their contractual obligation to trade counterparties as and when due. In the event of default and in order to maintain the integrity of the Platform, Capsa may in its discretion, downgrade the ranking of, or delist entirely any defaulter on the Platform. Capsa may also, on behalf of itself and the trade counterparty, take a lien over all or any funds in the defaulting User’s Account.

Users agree to comply with law enforcement authorities and the courts in the enforcement of any legal actions against a defaulting party/user.
