If exercising the option is favorable at expiry, you'll receive the corresponding profit, while the seller covers the expense.

Your maximum risk is limited to the premium you paid to purchase the option contract. Regardless of market movements, you can't be liquidated before expiry, and no additional margin is required during the holding period.
