The Service
Hydra Swap offers a decentralized platform for the creation, purchase, sale, exchange, or modification of unique non-fungible tokens, implemented on the Ethereum & Matic network using smart contracts. Hydra Swap only provides a Platform to facilitate Transactions between you and other users, but Hydra Swap will not be storing or holding any Crypto Assets on behalf of any user. Users will be able to access Crypto Asset prices, trade information and utilize any trading agreements as made available on the Platform in order to conduct a Transaction. All Transactions are executed by the participating users in accordance with the terms and conditions of the smart contract between and as determined by the participating users.
The Platform may be accessible via website. The Service is being offered on a self-service basis, subject to payment of the Fees. All users must ensure they access the Platform from a secure and trustworthy source or device.
The Service will only be accessible after the users have performed the Procedure (as defined in section 7.1). Users must comply with the Procedure, which Hydra Swap may change from time-to-time. Failure to do so may result in failure in accessing the Service.
Hydra Swap is unable to control the quality of Crypto Assets involved in any Transaction, the authenticity or accuracy of the Transaction information, or the ability of each party to a Transaction to fulfil each of their obligations in their agreement. You are responsible for checking the trade details, your trading counterparty’s details, the price and nature of the Crypto Assets and/or your own risk appetite prior to entering into any Transaction.
Using the Service
Usage of the Service will incur fees (the “Service Fees”). The Service Fees include:
A percentage fee when Transactions occur; and
Royalty fees.
Details of the Service Fees can be found at: https://Hydraswap.xyz (the “Fee Schedule”). Hydra Swap reserves the right to make any changes to the Service Fees without prior notice. Users are responsible for checking the Fee Schedule regularly before executing any Transaction that may incur Service Fees. The Service Fees will not include third party fees that may arise out of or in connection with the creation, sale or exchange of Crypto Assets.
You must provide all equipment and software necessary to access the Platform and/or use the Service, including but not limited to, a mobile device that is suitable to access the Platform and/or use the Service. You are solely responsible for any fees, including internet connection or mobile fees, that you incur when using the Service.

You may only use the Service by linking your digital wallet on supported bridge extensions such as MetaMask (https://metamask.io/). We will ask you to download a supported electronic wallet extension and connect and unlock your digital wallets with that extension. Once you submit an order to sell or purchase a Crypto Asset, your order is passed on to the applicable extension, which completes the Transaction on your behalf.
ALL TRANSACTIONS ON THE PLATFORM ARE FACILITATED AND RUN BY THIRD-PARTY ELECTRONIC WALLET EXTENSIONS. BY USING THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE GOVERNED BY THE TERMS OF SERVICE AND PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE APPLICABLE EXTENSIONS.

Hydra Swap facilitates trade among a diverse community of buyers and sellers. Openness is one of our most prized values, and we are committed to providing a Platform for the exchange of Crypto Assets linked to controversial content. These policies ensure that the Platform offers the widest selection of assets possible while promoting trust and respect, as well as adherence to the law. Hydra Swap has always exercised judgment in allowing or disallowing certain assets, listings, smart contracts, and collections consistent with the spirit of openness in a worldwide community of users of a radical new technology. We carefully consider the complete situation and all its details in light of our policies before deciding whether to remove inappropriate assets, listings, smart contracts, and collections when we discover them or they are brought to our attention.
Crypto Assets linked to assets, listings, smart contracts, and collections that Hydra Swap deems inappropriate, disruptive, or illegal are prohibited on Hydra Swap. Hydra Swap reserves the right to determine the appropriateness of listings on its site and remove any listing at any time. If you create or offer an asset, listing, smart contract, or collection in violation of these policies, we will take corrective actions, as appropriate. Hydra Swap cannot destroy or impound your assets or smart contracts, but we reserve the right to destroy inappropriate metadata stored on our servers (as applicable).
Crypto Assets linked to assets, listings, smart contracts, and collections that include metadata that violates international intellectual property laws, promotes suicide or self-harm, incites hate or violence against others, degrades or doxes another individual, depicts minors in sexually suggestive situations, or is otherwise illegal in EU are prohibited on Hydra Swap and will be removed.
Crypto Assets linked to assets, listings, smart contracts, and collections created or used primarily or substantially for the purpose of raising funds for the known terrorist organizations listed in the notice of the United Nations (Anti-Terrorism Measures) Ordinance (Cap. 575) as updated from time to time (https://www.sb.gov.hk/eng/special/terrorist/terrorist.html) and on the https://www.state.gov/foreign-terrorist-organizations are prohibited on the Platform and will be removed. The sale of Crypto Assets linked to stolen assets, assets taken without authorization, and otherwise illegally obtained assets on Hydra Swap is prohibited. If you have reason to believe that any Crypto Asset on our Platform is linked to an asset that was illegally obtained, please contact us immediately. Listing any Crypto Asset linked to illegally obtained assets will result in your listings being cancelled, your assets being hidden, or your Account being suspended.

Crypto Assets linked to content that is “Not Safe for Work” or“NSFW” (“NSFW Content”) as defined and determined by Hydra Swap are meant for people who are 18 years and older.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT HYDRA SWAP OR ANY HYDRA SWAP PARTY CAN EFFECT THE TRANSFER OF TITLE OR RIGHT IN ANY CRYPTO ASSETS.
HYDRA SWAP IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO VULNERABILITY OR ANY KIND OF FAILURE, ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR OF SOFTWARE (E.G., WALLET, SMART CONTRACT), BLOCKCHAINS OR ANY OTHER FEATURES OF THE CRYPTO ASSETS.

Assumption of Risk You accept and acknowledge:
The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the Crypto Assets, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that any purchasers of Crypto Assets will not lose money.
You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your Transactions which includes, but is not limited to any income, profit and/or capital gains tax. Neither Hydra Swap nor any other Hydra Swap Party is responsible for determining the taxes that apply to Transactions nor will they provide any tax related information to the users.
Hydra Swap does not store, send, or receive Crypto Assets. This is because Crypto Assets exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on its supporting blockchain. Any transfer of Crypto Assets occurs within the supporting blockchain and not on this Service.
There are risks associated with using an Internet based currency, including but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your Account. You accept and acknowledge that Hydra Swap will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Service, however caused.
A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of those ecosystems and related applications and could therefore also negatively impact the potential utility or value of Crypto Assets.
The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Service and the utility of Crypto Assets.
The Service will rely on third-party platforms such as MetaMask to perform the Transactions. If:
we are unable to maintain a good relationship with such platform providers;
the terms and conditions or pricing of such platform providers change;
we violate or cannot comply with the terms and conditions of such platforms; or
if any of such platforms loses market share or falls out of favor or is unavailable for a prolonged period of time, access to and use of the Service will suffer.
There are risks associated with purchasing Crypto Assets, including but not limited to, the risk of purchasing counterfeit assets, mislabeled assets, assets that are vulnerable to metadata decay, assets on smart contracts with bugs, and assets that may become untransferable. Hydra Swap reserves the right to hide collections, contracts, and Crypto Assets affected by any of these issues or by other issues. Crypto Assets you purchase may become inaccessible on Hydra Swap. Under no circumstances shall the inability to view your assets on Hydra Swap serve as grounds for a claim against Hydra Swap.
Limitation of Liability
WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, OR DATA), EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. FURTHER, WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COMPENSATION, REIMBURSEMENT, OR DAMAGES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE OR PLATFORM, INCLUDING AS A RESULT OF:
ANY TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE SERVICE;
OUR DISCONTINUATION OF ANY OR ALL OF THE SERVICE AND/OR PLATFORM; OR
WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OBLIGATIONS UNDER ANY SEPARATELY AGREED SERVICE-LEVEL AGREEMENTS, ANY UNANTICIPATED OR UNSCHEDULED DOWNTIME OF ALL OR A PORTION OF THE PLATFORM AND/OR SERVICE OR PLATFORM FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING AS A RESULT OF:
POWER OUTAGES, SYSTEM FAILURES OR OTHER INTERRUPTIONS;
THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR THE SERVICE OR PLATFORM;
ANY INVESTMENTS, EXPENDITURES, OR COMMITMENTS BY YOU OR YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICE OR THE PLATFORM; OR
ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, ALTERATION OF, OR THE DELETION, DESTRUCTION, DAMAGE, LOSS OR FAILURE TO STORE ANY OF YOUR CONTENT OR OTHER DATA.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF HYDRA SWAP ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE ACCESS TO THE PLATFORM AND/OR USE OF THE SERVICE, CONTENT, CRYPTO ASSETS, OR ANY CRYPTO ASSETS PURCHASED ON THE PLATFORM EXCEED THE AMOUNT RECEIVED BY HYDRA SWAP FROM THE SALE OF CRYPTO ASSETS ON THE PLATFORM THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO:
DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY HYDRA SWAP OR HYDRA SWAP PARTIES’ NEGLIGENCE; OR
ANY INJURY CAUSED BY A HYDRA SWAP OR HYDRA SWAP PARTIES’ FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION.
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS SHALL EXCLUDE OR LIMIT LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY FOR FRAUD, DEATH OR BODILY INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, VIOLATION OF LAWS, OR ANY OTHER ACTIVITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED BY LEGITIMATE MEANS.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions also limit disclaimers or limitations of liability for personal injury from consumer products, so this limitation may not apply to personal injury claims.
Assignment
You may not assign or transfer any of your obligations or rights without the written consent from Hydra Swap.

Headings
Headings are inserted for convenience and not to be used when interpreting the Terms.
Language
Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, any translation of the Terms is provided for your convenience. The meanings of terms, conditions and representations herein are subject to definitions and interpretations in English. You agree that in the event of any conflict between the English version of the foregoing documents and any other translations, the English version shall prevail.
No Partnership
Hydra Swap and the user are and intend to remain independent parties. Nothing in these Terms shall be deemed or construed to create the relationship of a principal and agent or partnership or joint venture, or that of an employee and employer between Hydra Swap and the user and Hydra Swap shall not assume any fiduciary duties to the user.
Governing Law and Venue
These Terms, your access to and use of the Service and Content, and your participation in the Auction shall be governed by the laws of EU as to all matters including validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies without regard to the conflict of law rules or principles of any other jurisdiction).
Dispute Resolution; Arbitration.
You and Hydra Swap agree that any controversy, claim, or dispute related to this Agreement or the Services, whether it concerns past, present, or future issues, will be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration. This means that instead of going to court, any disputes will be settled by a neutral arbitrator whose decision will be final and binding. Arbitration will take place in EU or another mutually agreed-upon location, which can include remote sessions via video conference. The proceedings will be conducted in English, and a mediator may be appointed either by mutual agreement or through the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR).
Before initiating arbitration, both parties are required to attempt to resolve the dispute through good-faith, informal discussions. This includes sending a written Notice of Dispute ("Dispute Notice") to the other party, outlining the nature of the dispute, the basis for the claim, and the specific relief sought. For disputes with Hydra Swap, this notice should be sent to ops@Hydraswap.com. For disputes involving you, Hydra Swap will send the notice to the email address or social media profile you provided when using the Services.
After a Dispute Notice is received, the parties must engage in a discussion via telephone or an agreed platform like Telegram to try to resolve the issue before proceeding to arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days, arbitration can then be initiated. This 60-day period may be extended if the Dispute Notice is incomplete or if a discussion is requested and has not yet occurred.
The arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator, and each party will be responsible for their own legal fees, costs, and expenses unless the arbitrator determines that a claim is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. The arbitrator has the authority to order any remedies that could be granted by a court, except for punitive or exemplary damages unless such remedies are allowed under applicable law. The arbitration process is confidential, and both parties agree to keep all aspects of the arbitration strictly private.
Both parties waive the right to a jury trial in the arbitration process. If, for any reason, litigation is required, you and Hydra Swap agree that it will take place in the courts of EU, and both parties waive the right to a jury trial in those proceedings as well. Additionally, arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis, meaning that class actions or representative proceedings are not permitted. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable, the related claims must be litigated in court, but the enforceable portions of the waiver will still apply in arbitration.
This arbitration agreement is intended to provide a quick, cost-effective method for resolving disputes related to your relationship with Hydra Swap, and it will govern all such disputes, regardless of any other agreements between you and Hydra Swap. The arbitration process is designed to be fair and efficient, ensuring that disputes are resolved without the need for lengthy court proceedings.
Termination
Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use the Service at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Severability
If any term, clause or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause or provision, or any other term, clause or provision of these Terms.
Survival
The following sections will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms and the termination of your Account: all defined terms and Sections 1-3 and 7-32.

These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Hydra Swap prior, concurrent or subsequent circumstance, and Hydra Swap’ failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
