Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and the operator of HBFmarket Staging ("HBFmarket Staging," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of our website, applications, non-custodial trading terminal, and related services (together, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

HBFmarket Staging provides software for discovering prediction markets, viewing public market and wallet data, managing watchlists, and interacting with supported third-party trading infrastructure. Certain features may help you prepare or submit orders, create a Polymarket deposit wallet, bridge assets, or configure pre-signed stop-loss and take-profit orders.

HBFmarket Staging is not an exchange, broker, dealer, investment adviser, bank, custodian, clearing house, oracle, market operator, or counterparty to your trades. We do not operate Polymarket, set market rules, control market resolution, hold your private keys, pool user funds, or take custody of your assets. Transactions occur through third-party systems and public blockchain networks.

2. Eligibility

You may use the Service only if:

you are at least 18 and have legal capacity to enter into these Terms;
your use is lawful where you are physically located and where you reside;
you are not subject to sanctions or owned or controlled by a sanctioned person;
you are not located in a jurisdiction where the relevant feature is restricted; and
you comply with the rules and eligibility requirements of each third-party service.

The Service may permit viewing public information in a location where trading is not available. Access to a page does not mean you are eligible to trade. We may require additional information or checks and may refuse or restrict access when reasonably necessary for legal, security, or platform-integrity reasons.

3. Geographic and sanctions restrictions

Trading is unavailable in restricted countries and regions, including Australia and other locations restricted by Polymarket or applicable law. Restrictions may change without prior notice. You must not use a VPN, proxy, false location information, another person, or any other method to evade a restriction. You must not transact for, or make the Service available to, a person who is ineligible to use it.

4. Your account and wallets

Authentication and embedded-wallet functionality are provided through Privy. You are responsible for safeguarding your devices, sign-in methods, recovery methods, linked wallets, private keys, and seed phrases. You must promptly tell us if you suspect unauthorised access. Never send a private key or seed phrase to us.

You are responsible for all instructions authorised through your account or wallet unless applicable law provides otherwise. Do not share or transfer your account, impersonate another person, or connect a wallet you do not control. Exporting a wallet or changing its security settings can create additional risk for which you are responsible.

5. Your instructions and transactions

Review every transaction, order, approval, token, network, amount, price, fee, recipient, and market before authorising it. A wallet signature or submitted instruction may be irreversible. We may relay an instruction but cannot cancel, reverse, recover, or guarantee execution of a blockchain transaction or third-party order.

Quotes, balances, positions, profit and loss, order books, charts, and trader activity may be delayed, incomplete, rounded, or different from the authoritative third-party or on-chain record. You are responsible for checking authoritative information before acting.

6. Prediction-market and digital-asset risks

By using trading features, you understand and accept that:

you may lose some or all of the assets committed to a position;
prices may be volatile and liquidity may disappear without warning;
orders may be rejected, delayed, partially filled, filled at an unexpected price, or never filled;
market wording, resolution sources, oracle decisions, disputes, or extraordinary events may produce an outcome you did not expect;
blockchains, wallets, bridges, tokens, smart contracts, relayers, APIs, and internet services can fail, be exploited, fork, pause, or become unavailable;
stablecoins and other assets can lose value or become non-redeemable;
public transactions can expose your trading activity and may be irreversible; and
legal, regulatory, and tax treatment may change or differ by location.

You are solely responsible for deciding whether a transaction is appropriate for you and for obtaining any financial, legal, or tax advice you need. Nothing in the Service is investment, financial, legal, or tax advice, a recommendation, or a guarantee of results.

7. Automation and keeper orders

An automation rule stores an order you sign in advance and attempts to submit it when the configured trigger is observed. A trigger is not a guaranteed execution price, stop price, sale, or fill. Submission may fail or be delayed because of price movement, insufficient liquidity, partial fills, expired signatures, changed balances or approvals, credential expiry, network congestion, provider downtime, software failure, or other events.

You remain responsible for monitoring every position and rule, cancelling rules you no longer want, and confirming the authoritative order and position state after any trigger. Never assume a position was closed merely because a trigger was reached or the interface displayed a submission attempt.

8. Deposits, bridges, and approvals

Deposit and bridging features may be provided through LI.FI, its route providers, Privy, wallet providers, token issuers, and blockchain protocols. Routes can involve multiple smart contracts, networks, and fees. Token approvals may allow a third-party contract to transfer assets within the approved scope until the approval is revoked. Review approvals and revoke those you no longer need.

9. Fees and taxes

Third parties may charge trading, spread, bridge, gas, relayer, token, or other fees. We may charge or receive a service, builder, referral, or similar fee where it is disclosed before you authorise the relevant transaction. Fee estimates can change before execution. You are responsible for all taxes, duties, reporting, and recordkeeping arising from your use of the Service.

10. Third-party services

Privy, Polymarket, LI.FI, blockchain networks, wallets, bridges, token issuers, market oracles, and other integrations are independent third parties. Your use of them is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, rules, availability, security, decisions, or acts. A link or integration does not constitute an endorsement or warranty.

11. Prohibited use

You must not:

violate law, sanctions, market rules, or another person's rights;
evade access controls, geographic restrictions, rate limits, or security measures;
manipulate a market, trade on unlawfully obtained information, wash trade, spoof, or engage in fraud or deceptive conduct;
use stolen assets, credentials, wallets, or identities, or facilitate money laundering or terrorist financing;
probe, attack, disrupt, overload, or introduce malicious code into the Service;
scrape or automate access in a way that harms the Service or violates a provider's terms;
reverse engineer the Service except where applicable law expressly permits it; or
use the Service to build or operate an unlawful or infringing product.

12. Intellectual property and feedback

The Service, excluding third-party and open-source materials, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for its intended purpose.

If you provide feedback, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use it without restriction or compensation, provided we do not identify you publicly as its source without permission.

13. Availability, changes, and beta features

We may add, change, limit, suspend, or discontinue features when reasonably necessary for security, compliance, maintenance, provider changes, or product development. The Service may contain beta or experimental features that are incomplete and more likely to fail. We do not promise continuous availability or that every error will be corrected.

14. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe you breached these Terms, created security or legal risk, or are no longer eligible. Where practical and lawful, we will provide notice. Suspension of our interface does not transfer custody to us; you remain responsible for using the applicable wallet, blockchain, or third-party venue to manage assets and positions.

15. Disclaimers

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies a guarantee, right, or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, including any applicable rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Subject to those rights, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, and security.

16. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither HBFmarket Staging nor its suppliers will be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential loss, or for lost profits, revenue, data, opportunities, goodwill, or digital assets, arising from or related to the Service, third-party systems, market outcomes, or unauthorised account access.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising from or related to the Service will not exceed the greater of the fees you paid directly to us for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or AUD 100. This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

17. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify us against third-party claims and reasonable costs arising directly from your unlawful use of the Service, your material breach of these Terms, or your infringement of another person's rights. This section does not require you to indemnify us for our own negligence, fraud, wilful misconduct, or breach of law.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service, providers, risk, or law. We will post revised Terms with a new "Last updated" date and provide additional notice where a change is material or law requires it. Changes apply prospectively. If you do not agree to an update, stop using the Service before it takes effect.

19. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to any mandatory rights you have under local law, the courts of New South Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. Before filing a claim, you and HBFmarket Stagingagree to try in good faith for 30 days to resolve it through the contact address below. This section does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief.

20. General

If a provision of these Terms is unenforceable, it will be modified only as much as necessary and the remaining provisions will continue. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganisation, financing, or transfer of the Service. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service and supersede prior discussions on that subject.
