Terms of Use

These Terms of Use constitute a binding agreement between you (“User”, “you”) and the operators of the website available at ht.xyz (“we”, “our”, or “Hypertrade”). These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the Hypertrade Interface (the “Interface”), a web-based frontend for decentralized finance services built atop Hyperliquid and HyperEVM. By accessing or using the Interface, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you may not use the Interface.

1.1 Overview and Purpose
Hypertrade (“Interface”) is a web-based frontend enabling non-custodial access to decentralized finance (“DeFi”) features deployed across Hyperliquid and HyperEVM networks. The Interface is designed as a neutral gateway through which users may interact with decentralized protocols and smart contracts, including but not limited to: on-chain token swaps, routing across liquidity pools, margin spot trading with leverage (via integrated third-party protocols such as HyperStable), and liquidity aggregation.

The Interface is developed and maintained by independent contributors and does not constitute a custodial exchange, financial advisor, brokerage, or intermediary. It operates without storing user assets or credentials and without the ability to intervene in or reverse any blockchain transaction initiated through it. All user-initiated operations are executed by smart contracts deployed on-chain, and the outcomes are solely determined by those protocols’ rules and execution logic.

1.2 Decentralization and Autonomy of Underlying Network
The Interface facilitates interaction with multiple blockchain-based systems—most notably Hyperliquid, a community-governed decentralized execution layer, and HyperEVM, an Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible execution environment. These systems are autonomous, immutable, and not operated or controlled by Hypertrade. Hypertrade does not exert control over any validator sets, consensus mechanisms, protocol upgrades, or economic parameters of these networks.

Consequently, the Interface does not act as a broker or intermediary for any transaction. You understand and acknowledge that using the Interface is functionally equivalent to interacting directly with public smart contracts and blockchains via a personal Web3 wallet.

1.3 Wallet Requirements and Non-Custodial Access
To interact with the Interface, you must connect a self-custodial digital wallet, such as MetaMask, WalletConnect-compatible clients, or browser-based Ethereum wallet extensions. You retain full responsibility and control over your wallet and private keys. The Interface never requests or stores your seed phrase, private keys, or other sensitive credentials. If you lose access to your wallet, the Interface cannot assist you in recovering your funds or credentials.

By connecting a wallet to the Interface, you explicitly agree that you are authorized to do so and that you understand and accept all associated responsibilities, risks, and consequences.

1.4 Availability and Scope of Access
The Interface is one of many potential gateways to the underlying decentralized protocols and does not represent the only method of access. Users may interact with the same smart contracts independently, without using the Interface. The Interface may also display third-party integrations (e.g., oracles, routers, analytics), which are offered for convenience only and not as endorsements or assurances of performance or security.

1.5 Jurisdictional Restrictions
Access to the Interface is not permitted for persons located in, citizens of, or entities incorporated in jurisdictions subject to applicable sanctions or restrictions, including but not limited to: the United States of America, Canada (Ontario), the Islamic Republic of Iran, North Korea, Syria, Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. By using the Interface, you represent and warrant that you are not a Restricted Person and that your access and use are compliant with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

1.6 User Responsibilities
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your interaction with the Interface and underlying blockchain systems is lawful, compliant, and suitable to your personal and financial situation. You acknowledge that the Interface does not provide legal, tax, financial, or investment advice, and that you use the Interface entirely at your own risk.

2.1 Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties
The Hypertrade Interface is provided on an “as is,” “as available,” and “with all faults” basis. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, Hypertrade and its contributors, affiliates, licensors, and partners expressly disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including without limitation:
(a) warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement;
(b) warranties arising from course of dealing, usage, or trade practice;
(c) warranties regarding the quality, performance, accessibility, accuracy, timeliness, or reliability of the Interface;
(d) warranties that access to the Interface will be continuous, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or immune to unauthorized access or interference; and
(e) warranties that any particular trading strategy, feature, program, or function will be successful, effective, or financially beneficial.

2.2 Blockchain-Related Risks
You understand and accept the inherent risks associated with blockchain technologies and decentralized protocols. These include, but are not limited to: fluctuations in gas prices and network fees; on-chain transaction finality and irreversibility; latency or failure in transaction propagation due to network congestion, forks, or validator delays; unexpected changes in protocol behavior due to upgrades, exploits, or community governance decisions; risks related to bugs or vulnerabilities in smart contracts or on-chain code, which may result in irreversible loss of assets or data; the potential for malicious actors to exploit smart contracts or liquidity pools, engage in front-running, sandwich attacks, oracle manipulation, or otherwise affect execution outcomes; execution failures due to slippage or price movement; liquidation of leveraged positions; smart contract failure or hacks; unexpected market volatility or illiquidity; regulatory action or legal changes affecting access to the Interface or protocols it connects to. You release Hypertrade and all associated parties from any and all claims, liability, or damages related to these risks.

2.3 User Responsibility for Due Diligence and Security
You are solely responsible for evaluating the functionality, legitimacy, security, and technical details of any third-party protocol or smart contract you choose to interact with via the Interface. Hypertrade does not audit or warrant the security of any third-party code, smart contracts, or services presented or referenced within the Interface. You must ensure that your device, wallet software, browser extensions, and connection environment are secure, up to date, and resistant to malware or unauthorized access. We are not liable for any loss resulting from the compromise of your wallet or credentials.

2.4 No Guarantee of Accuracy or Availability
The Interface may include information derived from third-party or on-chain sources, such as token prices, trading volumes, analytics, or pool metrics. We do not guarantee the timeliness, accuracy, or completeness of such data. Displayed values may be outdated, rounded, or affected by slippage, oracle discrepancies, or caching delays. You acknowledge that all decisions based on such information are made at your own discretion and risk.

2.5 Regulatory and Legal Disclaimer
We make no representations concerning the legal or regulatory status of any digital assets, protocols, or services accessible via the Interface. The use of decentralized financial tools and the holding or trading of digital assets may be restricted, regulated, or prohibited in certain jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to determine whether your use of the Interface complies with all laws and regulations applicable to you, including tax, securities, and anti-money laundering laws.

2.6 Acknowledgement of Risk
By using the Interface, you expressly acknowledge and assume all risk of loss, including total loss of value, arising from your use of the Interface.

3.1 General Restrictions
You agree that you will not engage in any unlawful, abusive, manipulative, or malicious activity in connection with your use of the Hypertrade Interface. Your access to and use of the Interface must at all times comply with these Terms of Use, applicable law, and generally accepted standards of behavior in decentralized financial ecosystems.

3.4 Indemnification
In accordance with Section 9 (Indemnity), you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Hypertrade and all related parties for any costs, damages, claims, or expenses (including legal fees) arising directly or indirectly from your engagement in any prohibited activity.

4.1 Informational Purposes Only
The Hypertrade Interface and all content, tools, features, data, simulations, and analytics made available through it are provided solely for informational and educational purposes. Nothing presented on or through the Interface constitutes, or should be construed as, financial, investment, legal, tax, accounting, trading, or any other form of professional advice. The Company does not endorse, recommend, or guarantee the suitability, profitability, or legality of any trading strategies, instruments, or positions.

4.2 No Fiduciary Relationship
You acknowledge and agree that no fiduciary relationship exists between you and the Company. Your use of the Interface does not create a relationship of client-advisor, partnership, agency, or trust. The Company does not monitor your use of the Interface or evaluate the risks of your trading activity. You remain solely responsible for assessing your objectives, risk tolerance, and legal compliance.

4.3 No Endorsement or Guarantee of Performance
The appearance of token data, trading pairs, projected returns, backtest simulations, or market indicators on the Interface does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee of the token’s value, stability, legal status, or market performance. All such information may be inaccurate, outdated, speculative, or based on incomplete blockchain data.

4.4 Self-Custody, Self-Risk
Hypertrade does not custody or control your assets. You connect your own self-custodial wallet to interact with smart contracts. You are responsible for safeguarding your private keys, wallet seed phrases, passwords, and any other security mechanisms used to protect your funds. The loss or compromise of your credentials may result in the irreversible loss of your digital assets. The Company cannot recover assets, reverse transactions, or assist in retrieval.

4.5 Independent Professional Advice Recommended
Before engaging in any trading or financial activity based on information accessed through the Interface, you should consult a qualified financial advisor, legal counsel, or tax professional familiar with decentralized finance (DeFi), smart contract-based markets, and applicable regulations in your jurisdiction.

4.6 Your Tax Responsibility
You are solely responsible for determining and fulfilling your tax obligations in connection with your use of the Interface, including any income, capital gains, value-added, withholding, or other applicable taxes arising from the use, acquisition, transfer, or sale of digital assets. The Company does not calculate, withhold, or remit taxes on your behalf and assumes no liability for your failure to do so.

5.1 Promotions and Incentives
From time to time, Hypertrade may offer various programs, initiatives, referral systems, incentives, simulations, trading contests, early access campaigns, or other promotions (each, a “Program”, and collectively, the “Programs”) designed to enhance user experience or encourage usage. Participation in any Program is entirely voluntary and subject to these Terms of Use as well as any specific terms, rules, or eligibility criteria published separately by the Company.

5.2 Program Terms and Conditions
Each Program may be governed by its own terms and conditions, which may vary from or supplement these Terms of Use. In the event of a conflict between the terms of a Program and these Terms of Use, the Program-specific terms shall control solely with respect to that Program. You are responsible for reviewing and understanding the applicable Program rules before participating.

5.3 No Guarantee of Availability or Rewards
The Company makes no representations or warranties regarding the availability, continuity, or outcome of any Program. The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, to modify, suspend, or terminate any Program in part or in full at any time, including any associated features, benefits, or rewards, whether earned or projected.

5.4 Eligibility and Compliance
You agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring that your participation in any Program complies with applicable laws, regulations, and restrictions in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to tax reporting obligations and securities laws. The Company may disqualify users, deny access to rewards, or retroactively cancel participation if it determines that such participation violates law, policy, or these Terms of Use.

5.5 Nature of Program Benefits
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any rewards, bonuses, or benefits granted through a Program:

• Have no monetary value and are not redeemable for cash or any fiat equivalent;
• May be subject to expiration, revocation, or forfeiture at the discretion of the Company;
• May require completion of additional verification steps, actions, or thresholds prior to redemption;
• Are non-transferable and may not be sold, traded, or assigned without written permission from the Company.

5.6 Fraud and Abuse
The Company reserves the right to withhold, reclaim, or reverse any rewards or benefits obtained through fraud, exploitation, multiple account abuse, sybil attacks, automated interactions, circumvention of regional/geographic restrictions, or any manipulation of Program mechanisms. The Company may also report such activities to relevant authorities or block further access to the Interface.

6.1 Eligibility Determinations
The Company reserves the sole right to determine your eligibility to access or participate in any aspect of the Interface or associated Programs. All such determinations are final and binding, and the Company is under no obligation to provide justification or explanation. If at any time we believe that your use of the Interface violates these Terms of Use, applicable law, or poses risk to Hypertrade or its users, we may restrict, suspend, or terminate your access without prior notice.

6.2 Suspension or Termination of Access
We may suspend or permanently revoke your ability to use any features of the Interface, including trading, simulations, or wallet integrations, in cases where we believe that:

• You have violated these Terms of Use or engaged in prohibited conduct;
• You have provided false or misleading information;
• Your conduct is abusive, unlawful, or harmful to the Interface or other users;
• Your jurisdiction of residence or activity becomes subject to legal, regulatory, or sanctions-related risk; or
• Continuation of service would otherwise violate applicable law or expose the Company to liability.

6.3 On-Chain and Gas Fees
While Hypertrade does not directly impose any usage fees, you understand that interaction with smart contracts, including swaps, trades, or margin transactions, requires the payment of gas fees or other network-related charges on the applicable blockchain (e.g., Hyperliquid L1 or HyperEVM). These fees are variable, often outside the Company’s control, and must be borne solely by you.

6.4 Irreversibility of Transactions
All transactions submitted through the Interface that interact with on-chain protocols are considered final once confirmed by the respective network. The Company does not have the ability to reverse, cancel, or modify on-chain transactions. You acknowledge and agree that you are fully responsible for verifying all transaction details (e.g., asset type, amount, destination address, slippage settings) before confirming any action.

6.5 Assumption of Technical Risk
Your use of the Interface is at your own risk. You understand that blockchain technologies and decentralized protocols are experimental and may be subject to bugs, security vulnerabilities, and other unpredictable behavior. The Company is not liable for technical failures including but not limited to: network congestion or outages, validator or node unavailability, smart contract errors or exploits, data inconsistencies or display inaccuracies, compatibility issues between the Interface and your wallet or device, downtime caused by upgrades, attacks, or force majeure events.

6.6 User Responsibility and Sophistication
By using the Interface, you represent and warrant that you possess sufficient technical knowledge and financial sophistication to understand the nature and risks of blockchain-based trading systems, including perpetual futures, margin trading, slippage, and liquidation mechanisms. You are solely responsible for securing your private keys, seed phrases, wallet credentials, and for ensuring the safety of any devices you use to access the Interface.

6.7 Third-Party Dependencies
Hypertrade may rely on third-party protocols, oracles, RPC providers, or liquidity pools. The Company is not responsible for the performance, accuracy, or availability of any third-party system. Any losses you incur as a result of such third-party dependencies are not the responsibility of the Company.

7.1 Right to Modify or Discontinue
The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion and at any time, to modify, suspend, or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any portion of the Interface, its features, programs, simulations, trading tools, or access methods, with or without prior notice. Such modifications may include, but are not limited to: adjustments to routing algorithms, the introduction or removal of supported networks, changes in referral or rewards systems, or updates to trading logic, leverage mechanics, or slippage protections. You agree that the Company shall not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

7.2 Changes to Terms
The Company may revise these Terms of Use from time to time to reflect changes in business practices, technological developments, legal or regulatory requirements, or for any other reason. Unless otherwise stated, revised Terms of Use will be effective immediately upon publication on the Interface (e.g., https://ht.xyz/terms-of-use). The updated Terms of Use will supersede any prior versions.

7.3 Notice of Changes
We may, but are not obligated to, notify users of material changes to these Terms of Use via email, app banners, or other electronic means. However, it is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms of Use to stay informed. Your continued use of the Interface following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms of Use.

7.4 Program Modifications
The Company may, at its discretion, introduce, modify, or terminate any Program (e.g., incentives, referral rewards, trading bonuses, loyalty systems) at any time, without notice. Program eligibility, benefits, and rules may change dynamically and retroactively, particularly to remain compliant with applicable laws or network limitations. Participation in such Programs does not guarantee future access or entitlement to benefits.

7.5 No Obligation to Continue Services
You acknowledge that your access to and use of the Interface is provided at the Company’s discretion. The Company does not guarantee that the Interface will continue to operate in any specific manner, or at all, in the future. We reserve the right to migrate, deprecate, or sunset the Interface, including any or all associated smart contracts, APIs, or user accounts.

8.1 Assumption of Risk
By accessing and using the Interface, you expressly acknowledge and accept that your use of any decentralized protocols or trading tools—including but not limited to spot trading, perpetuals, leverage, swaps, simulations, and routing mechanisms—entails significant risk. These risks include, but are not limited to: exposure to extreme market volatility, smart contract vulnerabilities, protocol failures, price manipulation, oracle errors, impermanent loss, liquidation of leveraged positions, slippage, failed transactions, and delays caused by network congestion.

8.2 No Control Over Protocols
The Company does not operate or control any Layer 1 (L1), Layer 2 (L2), or EVM-compatible blockchain network, nor any decentralized exchange (DEX), liquidity pool, validator set, or other permissionless infrastructure that may be accessed via the Interface. The Interface merely aggregates, routes, and visualizes functionality made available through third-party systems, and does not execute or validate transactions on behalf of users. Any interaction you undertake is executed by a public blockchain, at your sole direction and responsibility.

8.3 No Liability for Outcomes
You agree that the Company shall not be held liable for any loss, damage, expense, or claim—whether direct or indirect—arising from or related to your use of the Interface or any third-party protocol accessed through it.

8.4 No Representations or Warranties
The Company makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the accuracy, reliability, performance, or availability of any feature or function of the Interface or any underlying protocol, market data, or analytics presented therein. All usage is at your own discretion and risk.

8.5 Waiver of Claims
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you irrevocably waive and release the Company, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and contractors from any and all past, present, and future claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs, and expenses of every kind, whether known or unknown, arising out of or relating to your use of the Interface or any third-party protocol accessed through it.

9.1 Your Obligation to Indemnify
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Hypertrade, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and licensors (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all actual or alleged claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, judgments, costs, penalties, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of or related to:

• Your access to or use of the Interface or any protocol accessed through it;
• Your breach of these Terms of Use or any applicable law or regulation;
• Any action or inaction taken using your wallet, credentials, or account;

• Any dispute or legal proceeding between you and a third party relating to your use of the Interface;
• Any false, misleading, or fraudulent information provided by you.

9.2 Cooperation and Notification
You agree to promptly notify the Company of any claims or legal proceedings brought against you that may affect the Indemnified Parties, and to fully cooperate with the Company in the defense and resolution of any such matters. Failure to provide timely notice may impair your indemnification obligations.

9.3 Company Control of Defense
The Company reserves the right to assume exclusive control over the defense and settlement of any claim for which you are obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Parties. You may not settle any such claim without the Company’s prior written consent, unless the settlement fully releases the Indemnified Parties from all liability and does not impose any obligations upon them.

10.1 No Liability for Damages
To the maximum extent permitted by law, under no circumstances shall Hypertrade, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, or licensors be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages of any kind, including but not limited to:

• loss of revenue or profits,
• loss of data or goodwill,
• loss of business opportunities,
• reputational harm,
• cost of substitute goods or services,
• personal or property damage,

whether arising in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Interface or any part of it.

10.2 Transaction Risk Disclaimer
You acknowledge that all transactions conducted through the Interface are entirely your responsibility and are irreversible. Hypertrade does not and cannot control the operation or outcomes of blockchain protocols or smart contracts, including slippage, failed transactions, liquidity shortages, or liquidation events in leveraged positions. Hypertrade is not responsible for any incorrect, invalid, or unintended transactions made through your wallet or connected account.

10.3 No Warranty of Security or Performance
We make no guarantees that the Interface will be secure, uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components. The Interface and any associated services are provided “as is” and “as available.” Hypertrade disclaims all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy of information or functionality.

10.4 Capped Liability
In any event, the total liability of Hypertrade to you for any claim related to your access to or use of the Interface shall not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100), regardless of the basis of the claim and even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose.

10.5 Jurisdictional Limitations
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages or liabilities, so the above limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, the liability of Hypertrade shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

11.1 Binding Arbitration
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, the Interface, or your use of Hypertrade (collectively, “Disputes”) shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except for limited types of claims that qualify to be brought in a small claims court with appropriate jurisdiction.

11.2 Class Action Waiver
All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted on an individual basis. You and Hypertrade agree to waive any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, or representative action. You further agree not to join or consolidate claims with those of any other person.

11.3 Initial Dispute Resolution Effort
Before initiating arbitration, you agree to first attempt to resolve any Dispute informally by contacting us at: legal@ht.xyz.

If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice, either party may initiate arbitration.

11.4 Arbitration Procedure
Arbitration shall be administered by the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) under its rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted in English, seated in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the LCIA rules. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

11.5 Costs and Fees
Each party shall be responsible for its own legal fees and costs unless otherwise awarded by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary or injunctive relief but shall not have the authority to modify these Terms of Use or bind parties not involved in the arbitration.

11.6 Governing Law
These Terms of Use and any Dispute arising out of or related to them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), without regard to conflict of laws principles.

12.1 Entire Agreement
These Terms of Use, along with our Privacy Policy, represent the entire agreement between you and us regarding your access to and use of the Interface. They supersede any prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us. No oral or written statement by any employee, contractor, or other representative of Hypertrade may alter the terms of this agreement.

12.2 No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any provision or right under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such provision or right. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Hypertrade to be legally binding.

12.3 Assignment
You may not assign or transfer any rights or obligations under these Terms of Use without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer our rights or obligations under these Terms of Use at any time without notice or your consent.

12.4 Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.
