Terms of Service

Last updated: [November 2025]

Welcome to CryptoLikeThis. Before you start reading, sharing, or otherwise using anything on this website, please take a few minutes to go through these terms. They set out the rules for using our site, what you can expect from us, and what we expect from you. By visiting cryptolikethis.com (the site) or using any of its features, you’re agreeing to everything written below. If any of it doesn’t sit right with you, the simplest solution is to stop using the site.

We’ve tried to keep this readable. It’s a legal document, so some of the wording is unavoidable, but we’re not interested in burying anything in jargon.

1. Who we are

CryptoLikeThis is an independent online publication covering cryptocurrency news, market commentary, project analysis, and related topics. The company behind the site is based in the United Arab Emirates. Throughout this document, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to CryptoLikeThis. “You” and “your” refer to anyone visiting or using the site.

If you need to reach us about anything in these terms, you can email us at mail@cryptolikethis.com

2. Nothing on this site is financial advice

This is the most important section, so we’re putting it near the top.

Everything published on CryptoLikeThis — articles, news pieces, opinion columns, market analysis, interviews, price commentary, social media posts, newsletters, and anything else — is for general informational purposes only. It is not financial advice. It is not investment advice. It is not legal, tax, or accounting advice. We are not licensed financial advisers, we are not registered with the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of ADGM, or any equivalent regulator in any other country to provide financial services. Nothing you read here creates an adviser, broker, or fiduciary relationship.

Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile, and the global regulatory picture is still evolving. You can lose some or all of the money you put in. Past performance of any token, project, or strategy mentioned on the site tells you very little about how it will perform in the future. Some content on the site may also become inaccurate or outdated quickly because the industry moves fast.

Before you make any financial decision based on something you’ve read here — buying, selling, staking, lending, providing liquidity, anything — do your own research and, if it’s a meaningful sum of money, speak to a qualified, regulated financial professional in your jurisdiction. We can’t make those decisions for you, and we won’t be responsible for the outcome if you treat our content as a substitute for proper advice.

If you’re accessing the site from a country where crypto-related content is restricted or where promoting virtual assets requires specific authorisation, you’re responsible for ensuring your use of the site is lawful where you are.

3. Eligibility

You need to be at least 21 years old, or the age of legal majority where you live, to use the site (the UAE generally treats 21 as the threshold for financial activities; some other countries set it lower). By using the site, you’re confirming that you meet that requirement and that nothing in your local laws prevents you from accessing the type of content we publish.

You’re also responsible for making sure your use of the site is legal in your country or region. Crypto regulation varies enormously around the world, and we don’t tailor our content to any single jurisdiction.

4. Editorial content and accuracy

We try hard to publish accurate, well-sourced, and timely content. We fact-check where we can, link to primary sources where possible, and correct mistakes when they’re flagged. That said, we’re a publication, not an oracle. Errors happen. Sources turn out to be wrong. Markets move while an article is being written.

We don’t guarantee that any specific piece of content is complete, current, or free of errors. If you spot something that looks wrong, please email us and we’ll look into it.

Opinion pieces, columns, and analysis reflect the views of the individual author at the time of writing. They aren’t necessarily the views of CryptoLikeThis as a whole, and they shouldn’t be read as endorsements of any project, token, exchange, or person mentioned.

5. Sponsored content, advertising, and affiliate links

Like most independent publications, we sometimes publish sponsored articles, press releases, and advertising. We also use affiliate links from time to time, which means we may earn a commission if you sign up for a service or buy a product through one of our links. This doesn’t cost you anything extra.

We mark sponsored content as sponsored. We don’t pretend an ad is editorial. But you should still treat any promotional content with the same scepticism you’d apply to any advertising — being featured on the site doesn’t mean we’ve vetted, audited, or endorsed the project, and it definitely doesn’t mean we’re recommending you put money into it.

Where local law requires specific disclosures or licensing for crypto-related promotions — for example VARA’s marketing regulations in Dubai — we expect the advertisers we work with to comply on their end. We do our best to screen out obvious scams and unlicensed offerings, but we can’t independently verify the regulatory status of every product mentioned in every piece of sponsored content.

6. Third-party links and content

Articles on the site link out to other websites, projects, white papers, social media accounts, exchanges, data providers, and so on. We include those links because they’re relevant to what we’re writing about, not because we’ve vouched for them. We have no control over third-party sites, and we’re not responsible for their content, accuracy, privacy practices, or anything that happens to you as a result of visiting them.

The same goes for embedded content — tweets, videos, charts, widgets — that come from other platforms.

7. Your use of the site

You’re welcome to read, share, and discuss our content. There are some things you can’t do, though. When using the site, you agree not to:

• Break any applicable law or regulation, including UAE federal law, the laws of the emirate you’re connecting from or accessing the site in, or the laws of your home country
• Post or transmit content that’s defamatory, harassing, threatening, hateful, abusive, or otherwise unlawful — and we’d specifically flag that UAE law treats some categories of online speech more strictly than other jurisdictions, including content that insults religion, the state, public morals, or named individuals
• Impersonate someone else or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or organisation
• Try to gain unauthorised access to the site, our servers, or any connected systems
• Use bots, scrapers, or automated tools to harvest content or data without our written permission
• Upload viruses, malware, or anything else designed to damage or interfere with the site
• Use the site to promote scams, pump-and-dump schemes, fraudulent token sales, fake giveaways, or anything similar
• Reproduce, republish, or redistribute substantial parts of our content without permission (see the next section)

We can suspend or block access to the site for anyone who breaks these rules, and we can do it without warning if the situation calls for it.

8. Intellectual property

The articles, images, graphics, logos, design, code, and overall look and feel of the site are owned by CryptoLikeThis or our licensors and are protected by UAE Federal Law No. 38 of 2021 on Copyright and Neighbouring Rights, and by international copyright treaties.

You’re free to do the normal things you’d do with online content: read it, link to it, quote a sentence or two with attribution, share it on social media. What you can’t do is copy whole articles, republish them on another site, sell them, train commercial AI models on them without permission, or pass them off as your own work. If you want to syndicate, translate, or otherwise reuse our content beyond fair quoting, get in touch and we’ll talk.

If you believe something on the site infringes your copyright, email us at the address above with details of the work, the URL of the infringing content, and your contact information, and we’ll review it.

9. User comments and submissions

If we enable comments, tips, or any other way for you to submit content to the site, anything you submit must be your own work or properly licensed, and it must not break any of the rules in section 7. By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, display, edit, and distribute that content in connection with the site.

We don’t pre-screen user comments, and we don’t endorse them. We can remove anything that violates these terms, and we can do so at our discretion.

10. Newsletter and communications

If you sign up for our newsletter or any other email communications, you’re consenting to receive emails from us. We won’t spam you, and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email we send. Our handling of your email address and other personal data is covered in our Privacy Policy, including how we handle the UAE’s Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data and similar requirements where they apply.

11. Availability of the site

We do our best to keep the site up and running, but we don’t guarantee it’ll be available without interruption. Servers go down, software breaks, things get updated. We may also change, suspend, or discontinue parts of the site — or the whole thing — at any time, with or without notice.

12. Disclaimers

The site and everything on it are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, about the site, its content, or its availability. That includes, but isn’t limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.

We don’t warrant that the site will be error-free, secure, uninterrupted, or free of viruses or other harmful components. You use it at your own risk.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent allowed under the law that applies to you, CryptoLikeThis, its owners, contributors, employees, and partners are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost data, lost opportunities, or financial losses from trading or investment decisions — arising out of or related to your use of the site or anything you’ve read or seen on it.

If, despite the above, we’re found liable for something, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these terms or the site is limited to five hundred UAE dirhams (AED 500), or the equivalent in your local currency.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for things that can’t legally be excluded under UAE law or the law of any other jurisdiction that gives you mandatory protections — for example, liability for fraud, intentional wrongdoing, or anything that consumer protection law in your country says we can’t waive.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold CryptoLikeThis and the people behind it harmless from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the site, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party rights.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time — for example, when we add new features, when the law changes, or when we just realise something needs clarifying. When we do, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top. If the changes are significant, we’ll try to flag them more prominently.

Your continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the new version. If you don’t, the answer is the same as it was at the start of this document — stop using the site.

16. Governing law and disputes

These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of United Arab Emirates (UAE) and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that State or location.

17. Severability

If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable or invalid under UAE law or any other applicable law, the rest of the document still applies. We’ll treat the unenforceable part as modified to the minimum extent needed to make it work, or removed if that’s not possible.

18. No waiver

If we don’t enforce a particular right or term, that doesn’t mean we’ve given it up. We can still enforce it later.

19. Entire agreement

These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other notices we publish on the site, make up the entire agreement between you and CryptoLikeThis regarding your use of the site. They replace any earlier agreements or understandings on the same subject.

20. Contact us

Questions, complaints, takedown requests, syndication enquiries, anything else — email us at mail@cryptolikethis.com. We’ll get back to you as soon as we reasonably can.

Thanks for reading, and welcome to CryptoLikeThis.
