The Interface is a non-custodial front-end that lets you access decentralized trading on a third-party decentralized exchange protocol (the "Protocol"). By connecting a wallet and using the Interface, you agree to these Terms. ## 1. Acceptance of Terms By connecting your wallet, signing the acceptance message, and using the Interface, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. Acceptance is recorded by a signature made with your wallet. **If you do not agree to these Terms, do not connect your wallet and do not use the Interface.** We may require you to re-accept these Terms when a new version is published. ## 2. Eligibility By using the Interface, you represent and warrant that: * You are at least **18 years old** (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher). * You are **not a U.S. person** and you are **not located in, a resident of, or accessing the Interface from a restricted or sanctioned jurisdiction**, or any jurisdiction where use of the Interface would be illegal. * You are not subject to any sanctions and are not on any prohibited-persons or restricted-parties list. * You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Interface complies with all laws and regulations that apply to you. You may not use any technology (such as a VPN) to circumvent these eligibility requirements or our geo-restrictions. ## 3. Non-Custodial Nature The Interface is **only a front-end**. It does not hold, custody, or control your funds at any time. All trading, order matching, custody, and settlement take place on **the Protocol's on-chain system**, not on Bitnex. * You retain control of your funds and your keys at all times. * We cannot access, move, freeze, or withdraw your funds. * The "agent wallet" (session key) you approve to enable trading can place and manage orders on your behalf but **cannot withdraw funds**, and you can revoke it at any time. ## 4. No Financial Advice Nothing on the Interface constitutes investment, financial, legal, tax, or other professional advice. We do not recommend any asset, trade, or strategy. You are solely responsible for your own decisions, and you should seek independent professional advice where appropriate. ## 5. Risks Trading crypto assets, and especially **leveraged** trading, involves substantial risk. By using the Interface, you acknowledge and accept that: * You may **lose some or all of your deposited funds and margin**. * Leveraged positions can be **liquidated**, and prices can move sharply and unpredictably. * Crypto assets are volatile, and past performance is not indicative of future results. * There are technical risks, including smart-contract risk, network congestion, bugs, and the risk that third-party services (including the Protocol) fail, are attacked, or become unavailable. * You are responsible for the security of your wallet, keys, and devices. **Only trade with funds you can afford to lose.** ## 6. Fees Bitnex charges a fee on trades placed through the Interface. The applicable fee is displayed in the **Order Details** before you confirm a trade. The Protocol charges its own separate trading fees. By placing a trade, you agree to the fees shown at that time. ## 7. Prohibited Use You agree not to use the Interface to: * break any applicable law or regulation; * access the Interface from, or on behalf of anyone in, a restricted or sanctioned jurisdiction, or as a U.S. person; * circumvent, disable, or interfere with any eligibility check, geo-restriction, or security feature; * engage in market manipulation, fraud, money laundering, or the financing of illegal activity; or * interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the Interface or its infrastructure. We may restrict or block access to the Interface where we believe these Terms are being violated. ## 8. Referral Program Bitnex may offer a referral program that lets you share a referral code or link and earn a share of the trading fees paid by users you refer; referred users may receive a fee discount. By participating, you agree that: * Reward rates, eligibility rules and payout mechanics are those shown in the app and may change at any time. * Creating a referral code may require meeting conditions set by the underlying protocol (such as a minimum trading volume). * Self-referrals, fake or duplicate accounts, spam, or any abuse of the program are prohibited and may result in forfeiture of rewards and removal from the program. * Referral rewards are not guaranteed income and depend in part on protocol-level mechanics outside our control. ## 9. Vaults, Staking and Other Features The Interface may provide access to additional on-chain features of the underlying protocol, such as vaults, staking, swaps and automated strategies (for example, grid bots). These features: * are executed by the underlying protocol on-chain, not by Bitnex; * involve risk of loss — including loss of deposited funds — and past performance is not indicative of future results; and * may be subject to protocol-level rules (such as lock-ups, withdrawal timing and minimum amounts) shown in the app. You use these features at your own risk. ## 10. No Warranties The Interface is provided **"as is" and "as available"**, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the Interface will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any information displayed is accurate, complete, or current. Your use of the Interface is at your own risk. ## 11. Limitation of Liability To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, funds, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Interface — including trading losses, liquidations, or the acts, failures, or unavailability of any third party such as the Protocol. ## 12. Changes to These Terms We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will publish the new version with an updated version number and date, and — where appropriate — ask you to accept the new version by signing again. Your continued use of the Interface after the changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. ## 13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Interface shall be resolved on an individual basis. Before pursuing any formal action, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the matter informally. ## 14. Contact If you have questions about these Terms, contact us through the in-app support chat at [bitnex.pro](https://bitnex.pro) or via the channels listed in [Official Links](/bitnex-docs/others/official-links.md). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
