Terms of Service
1. About these terms
These Terms of Service govern your use of Bitcoin Panic at bitcoinpanic.com (the “Site”) and the Bitcoin Panic app for iOS and Android (the “App”). The Site and the App are published by Tech Generation Ltd, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales in 2014, company number 09248318, registered office Dalton House, 60 Windsor Avenue, London SW19 2RR, United Kingdom. You can reach us at [email protected]. By using the Site or the App you agree to these terms.
Tech Generation Ltd builds websites and apps. We aren't a cryptocurrency business: we don't trade, hold or manage crypto for anyone, we aren't affiliated with any exchange, and we aren't authorised to give financial advice. Bitcoin Panic is one of our own projects, built in part to demonstrate what we make.
2. Use of the site
You agree to use the Site lawfully and not to misuse it, attempt to disrupt it, or copy its content, design or code without permission. All content, branding and code on the Site are protected and remain the property of their respective owners.
3. What this site is
Bitcoin Panic publishes information about the Bitcoin price and its history: a live price indication, a “panic meter” that puts the latest move in the context of past falls, a record of the occasions on which Bitcoin fell 50% or more, and descriptions of exchanges and brokers. That is the whole service. There is nothing to buy here and no account to open.
4. Nothing here is financial advice
Nothing on this Site is financial, investment, tax or legal advice. We are not authorised to advise anyone, we know nothing about your personal circumstances, and nothing published here is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any asset. If you want advice, get it from someone regulated to give it.
Cryptocurrency is volatile and you can lose money, including all of it. Past price movements described on this Site say nothing about future ones.
Disclaimer: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage.
5. Affiliate links
Some links on this Site are referral links to exchanges and brokers, and we may earn a commission if you open an account through one. That relationship doesn’t change the descriptions we publish, and it isn’t an endorsement or a recommendation. Those companies are independent of us: their terms, their fees and their regulatory status are theirs, and you should check them yourself before signing up.
6. The price data
The Bitcoin price on this Site comes from CoinGecko, is fetched by our server and is cached for up to five minutes. It may be out of date or unavailable, it is an indication rather than a tradeable quote, and you should not rely on it for any transaction.
7. Disclaimers
To panic or not to panic is up to you.
“Don't panic” is generally good advice in any situation. It doesn't mean sit still. It doesn't mean do nothing. It doesn't mean don't act quickly. It means decide with your head rather than your stomach, and it's still your decision, your money and your risk.
Everything else follows from that, so here it is plainly:
- Nothing on this site or in the app is financial advice, an offer, a recommendation, or a suggestion that you buy, sell or hold anything. We don't know you, your finances or your circumstances.
- We're not regulated financial advisers and we're not acting as your adviser, broker or agent. If you need advice, get it from someone qualified and regulated in your country.
- Prices can be wrong, late or missing. The figures come from a third-party API, they're cached, and they may not match your exchange. Don't rely on them for a trade or for anything that matters. Check the exchange itself.
- The panic meter is a bit of context, not a signal. It describes what has already happened. It predicts nothing.
- The past isn't a promise. Bitcoin has fallen a long way and recovered before. That's history, not a forecast. It's entirely possible for something to fall and never recover.
- Crypto is high risk. You can lose everything you put in. Never invest money you can't afford to lose.
- The site is provided “as is”. We try to keep it accurate and available, but we make no warranties as to accuracy, completeness, availability or fitness for any particular purpose, to the extent the law allows.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bitcoin Panic is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the Site.
9. If Bitcoin Panic changes hands
Bitcoin Panic is a small independent project. The brand, the domain, the app and the content could one day be sold or transferred to someone else, in whole or in part. If that happens:
- These terms, and the rights and obligations in them, may be transferred to the new owner along with everything else.
- The new owner runs the site and the app from that point, and they may change how it works, what it says, what it links to, and these terms themselves.
- There's no user data to hand over. We don't collect accounts, emails or analytics, on the site or in the app, so a change of ownership doesn't transfer any personal information about you, because we don't hold any. See the privacy policy.
- Anything you'd relied on here, including this promise not to collect data, is only as good as the person running it. Under new ownership you should read the terms and the privacy policy again rather than assume they still say what they said before.
- We'd aim to note a change of ownership on the site, but we can't guarantee the new owner will keep that notice up.
10. Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. The current version always applies and is published on this page.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of its courts.
