The Site is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim any representations and warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including (but not limited to) the warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

You should review the applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any third-party websites to which you navigate to from the Site.
Non-Custodial and No Fiduciary Duties
The Site is a purely non-custodial application, meaning you are solely responsible for the custody of the cryptographic private keys to the digital asset wallets you hold. This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duties on us. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you acknowledge and agree that we owe no fiduciary duties or liabilities to you or any other party, and that to the extent any such duties or liabilities may exist at law or in equity, those duties and liabilities are hereby irrevocably disclaimed, waived, and eliminated. You further agree that the only duties and obligations that we owe you are those set out expressly in this Agreement.
Compliance Obligations
By accessing or using the Site, you agree that you are solely and entirely responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations that may apply to you. We take no responsibility for assisting you to meet those obligations, nor do we accept any liability if you fail to meet any obligation that is applicable to you.
Assumption of Risk
By accessing and using the Site, you represent that you are financially and technically sophisticated enough to understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and that you have a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of digital assets such as Hedera (HBAR), ether (ETH), and other digital tokens such as those following the Ethereum Token Standard (ERC-20) or the Hedera token standard (HTS). In particular, you understand that blockchain- based transactions are irreversible.
You further understand that the markets for these digital assets are highly volatile due to factors including (but not limited to) adoption, speculation, technology, security, and regulation. You acknowledge and accept that the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain- based systems such as Hedera and Ethereum are variable and may increase dramatically at any time. You further acknowledge and accept the risk that your digital assets may lose some or all of their value while they are supplied through the Site, you may suffer loss due to the fluctuation of prices of tokens in a trading pair or liquidity pool, and experience significant price slippage and cost. You understand that anyone can create a token, including fake versions of existing tokens and tokens that falsely claim to represent projects, and acknowledge and accept the risk that you may mistakenly trade those or other tokens. You further acknowledge that we are not responsible for any of these variables or risks, and cannot be held liable for any resulting losses that you experience while accessing or using the Site. Accordingly, you understand and agree to assume full responsibility for all of the risks of accessing and using the Site.
Third-Party Resources and Promotions
The Site may contain references or links to third-party resources, including (but not limited to) information, materials, products, or services, that we do not own or control. In addition, third parties may offer promotions related to your access and use of the Site. We do not endorse or assume any responsibility for any such resources or promotions. If you access any such resources or participate in any such promotions, you do so at your own risk, and you understand that this Agreement does not apply to your dealings or relationships with any third parties. You expressly relieve us of any and all liability arising from your use of any such resources or participation in any such promotions.
Release of Claims
You expressly agree that you assume all risks in connection with your access and use of the Site. You further expressly waive and release us from any and all liability, claims, causes of action, or damages arising from or in any way relating to your use of the Site and your interaction with the Protocol.
Trading Halts
We, our Site, and our third-party partners may experience cyber-attacks, extreme market conditions, or other operational or technical difficulties which could result in the immediate halt or suspension of transactions either temporarily or permanently. Provided that we have taken reasonable commercial and operational measures to prevent or correct such events in the technical systems we control, we are not and will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred by you as a result of such cyber-attacks, operational or technical difficulties or suspensions of transactions. Withdrawal limits based on amounts and/or frequency may apply from time to time, based on legal, regulatory, AML and/or security considerations. Our policies and procedures may require additional security and/or compliance checks that require additional time to complete.
Indemnity
You agree to hold harmless, release, defend, and indemnify us and our officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, and subsidiaries from and against all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from: (a) your access and use of the Site; (b) your violation of any term or condition of this Agreement, the right of any third party, or any other applicable law, rule, or regulation; and (c) any other party's access and use of the Site with your assistance or using any device or account that you own or control.
Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances shall we or any of our officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, or subsidiaries be liable to you for any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including (but not limited to) damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible property, arising out of or relating to any access or use of the Site, nor will we be responsible for any damage, loss, or injury resulting from hacking, tampering, or other unauthorized access or use of the Site or the information contained within it.
We assume no liability or responsibility for any:
- errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of content;
- personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever, resulting from any access or use of the Site;
- unauthorized access or use of any secure server or database in our control, or the use of any information or data stored therein;
- interruption or cessation of function related to the Site;
- bugs, viruses, trojan horses, or the like that may be transmitted to or through the Site;
- errors or omissions in, or loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of, any content made available through the Site; and
- the defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of any third party.
Under no circumstances shall we or any of our officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, or subsidiaries be liable to you for any claims, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, or costs in an amount exceeding the amount you paid to us in exchange for access to and use of the Site, or USD$100.00, whichever is greater. This limitation of liability applies regardless of whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such liability. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of certain liabilities and damages. Accordingly, some of the disclaimers and limitations set forth in this Agreement may not apply to you. This limitation of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Each provision of these terms that provides for a limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranties, or exclusion of damages is intended to and does allocate the risks between the parties under these terms. This allocation is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between the parties. Each of these provisions is severable and independent of all other provisions of these terms. The limitations in this section will apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, and subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Republic of Singapore for any suit, action or proceeding arising out of these Terms.
We will use our best efforts to resolve any potential disputes through informal, good faith negotiations. If a potential dispute arises, you must contact us by sending an email to contact@heliswap.io so that we can attempt to resolve it without resorting to formal dispute resolution. If we aren't able to reach an informal resolution within sixty days of your email, then you and we both agree to resolve the potential dispute according to the process set forth below.
If it has not been possible to resolve a dispute through the dispute process set out above, any dispute arising out of or in connection the Site or with this Agreement, including any question regarding the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement, or any other acts or omissions for which you may contend that we are liable, including (but not limited to) any claim or controversy as to arbitrability, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre, which are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section.
The tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators. The place and seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore. The language to be used in the arbitration proceedings will be English. The decision of the arbitrators will be final, binding and enforceable against you and us, and a judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In no event will the arbitrators have the authority to make any award that provides for punitive or exemplary damages.
Entire Agreement
These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings (if any) relating to the subject matter of the terms
