5 Exchange & Transactions
5.1 Transaction Finality
All cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible once confirmed on the blockchain. By initiating a transaction, you acknowledge that it cannot be reversed, recalled, or cancelled once submitted. HyperX is not responsible for losses resulting from errors in wallet addresses or transaction amounts entered by the user.
5.2 Exchange Rates
Exchange rates are sourced from real-time market data and are locked for a limited period at the time of transaction initiation. Rates are subject to market fluctuation and HyperX does not guarantee any specific rate. The final rate applied will be the rate locked at the time of your confirmed transaction.
5.3 Transaction Limits
Transaction limits apply based on your KYC verification tier:
| KYC Tier | Daily Limit | Monthly Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Unverified | $0 (restricted) | $0 |
| Tier 1 (Basic KYC) | $500 equivalent | $5,000 equivalent |
| Tier 2 (Full KYC) | $10,000 equivalent | $100,000 equivalent |
| Business Account | Custom limits | Custom limits |
5.4 Failed Transactions
If a transaction fails after funds have been deducted from your account due to a technical error on our end, we will reverse the transaction within 24 hours. Network fees incurred during failed transactions may not be refundable.
5.5 Suspicious Transactions
HyperX reserves the right to delay, freeze, or reverse transactions that appear suspicious, violate AML rules, or are flagged by our compliance systems. We will notify you where legally permissible.
6 Crypto Browser
The HyperX Browser enables you to access third-party e-commerce websites and complete purchases using your HyperX balance. The following conditions apply:
- HyperX acts solely as a payment facilitator; we are not a party to any contract between you and the merchant
- You are responsible for verifying the legitimacy and terms of any merchant before making a purchase
- HyperX is not responsible for the quality, safety, legality, or delivery of goods purchased through the browser
- Disputes with merchants must be resolved directly with the merchant; HyperX may assist where possible but makes no guarantees
- Third-party websites accessed through our browser are governed by their own terms and privacy policies
- HyperX does not endorse any merchant, product, or service accessible through the browser
7 DApp Services
The HyperX DApp (swap.hyperx.llc) allows users to connect third-party wallets and convert tokens not natively supported on the main platform. By using the DApp:
- You acknowledge that DApp interactions involve smart contracts and blockchain protocols that operate autonomously and may contain bugs or vulnerabilities
- HyperX does not custody your funds when using third-party wallets; you remain in control of your private keys
- Token prices and liquidity on external DEX protocols are beyond HyperX's control; we do not guarantee swap rates or availability
- You accept the inherent risks of DeFi including smart contract risk, impermanent loss, and front-running
- KYC and AML requirements still apply to fiat payout legs of DApp transactions
⚠️ DApp services interact with public blockchains. Transactions cannot be reversed. Always verify smart contract addresses and token details before confirming any transaction.
8 P2P Earnings Programme
The P2P Earnings Programme is not yet live. The following terms will govern the programme upon launch.
The HyperX P2P Programme allows users to deposit fiat funds into a HyperX business wallet. HyperX will then use these funds to conduct P2P cryptocurrency trading on your behalf, and you will receive a share of the returns.
- Participation is voluntary and subject to separate programme-specific terms to be published at launch
- Returns are not guaranteed; P2P trading involves market risk and you may receive less than your deposited amount
- HyperX acts as an agent on your behalf, not as a guarantor of returns
- Minimum deposit amounts, lock-up periods, and payout schedules will be disclosed at launch
- Participation requires full KYC (Tier 2) verification
- HyperX reserves the right to refuse participation, adjust returns, or pause the programme at any time
Nothing in this section constitutes investment advice. Participation in the P2P programme carries risk and is entirely at your own discretion.
9 Fees & Charges
