Terms of Service

Last updated: July 15, 2026

1. Introduction and Acceptance

1.1. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Hop Swap web interface available at hop.decker.im (the "Interface"), operated by its administrator (the "Operator", "we", "us").

1.2. By accessing or using the Interface, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Interface.

1.3. These Terms apply to the Interface only. The underlying protocols, smart contracts, and blockchains you interact with through the Interface are not operated by us and are governed by their own terms and technical rules.

2. Nature of the Service

2.1. Non-custodial UI layer. Hop Swap is a non-custodial, display-only user interface. It does not hold, transmit, or control user funds at any time.

2.2. Powered by LI.FI. All swap route discovery, DEX aggregation, bridge selection, and transaction calldata are provided exclusively by the LI.FI protocol and API (li.fi). The Interface merely requests data from LI.FI and renders LI.FI's responses in a user-friendly form.

2.3. No smart contracts operated by us. The Operator does not deploy, operate, own, maintain, or control any smart contract, blockchain node, bridge, decentralized exchange, or liquidity pool. Every transaction you submit is signed by you, in your own wallet, and executed by third-party smart contracts on public blockchains.

2.4. No control over execution. The Operator has no ability to initiate, modify, accelerate, cancel, or reverse any on-chain transaction, and bears no responsibility for the execution, settlement, or outcome of any transaction.

3. Assumption of Risk; No Liability for Swaps

3.1. You transact at your own risk. By using the Interface, you acknowledge that interacting with blockchains, bridges, and decentralized exchanges involves significant risk, including the risk of total loss of funds.

3.2. Excluded events. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator is not liable for any loss or damage arising from, without limitation:

  • failed, stuck, or reverted transactions;
  • slippage, including slippage within or beyond your selected tolerance;
  • bridge delays, bridge failures, or funds held in transit by bridge protocols;
  • smart contract bugs, exploits, or hacks (including of the LI.FI diamond contract, DEX pools, or bridge protocols);
  • oracle failures or price manipulation;
  • liquidity shortfalls, front-running, or MEV extraction;
  • network congestion, chain reorganizations, or blockchain forks;
  • any other on-chain event outside the Operator's control.

3.3. Third-party contracts. When you approve tokens or execute a swap, you interact directly with third-party smart contracts — including the LI.FI diamond contract, DEX pools, and bridge protocols — entirely at your own risk. Review every transaction in your wallet before signing.

3.4. Fees are non-refundable. All transaction costs — including network (gas) fees, bridge fees, and integrator fees — are consumed by third-party networks and protocols and are non-refundable, regardless of whether a transaction succeeds.

4. LI.FI Dependency and Terms

4.1. The Interface depends entirely on LI.FI infrastructure. If LI.FI's API or protocol is unavailable, degraded, or returns inaccurate data, the Interface may fail to function or may display incorrect information.

4.2. LI.FI Terms apply to you. By executing swaps through the Interface, you also agree to and are bound by LI.FI's Terms and Conditions.

4.3. Order of precedence. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and LI.FI's Terms, LI.FI's Terms govern with respect to the underlying protocol, routing, and transaction execution; these Terms govern with respect to the Interface itself.

5. No Financial Advice

5.1. Nothing on the Interface constitutes investment, financial, trading, legal, or tax advice, or a recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell, or hold any digital asset.

5.2. Token prices, exchange rates, quotes, gas estimates, and route comparisons displayed on the Interface are informational only, may be delayed or inaccurate, and must not be relied upon for financial decisions. You are solely responsible for evaluating any transaction and, where appropriate, consulting your own professional advisors.

6. Eligibility and Prohibited Jurisdictions

6.1. You may use the Interface only if you are of legal age to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction.

6.2. The Interface is not available to, and must not be used by, any person who is:

  • a resident or national of, or located in, any jurisdiction where cryptocurrency trading or the use of decentralized finance protocols is prohibited by law;
  • a resident or national of, or located in, any country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions administered by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) or equivalent authorities;
  • listed on any sanctions list, including the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list.

6.3. By using the Interface you represent and warrant that none of the above applies to you. You are solely responsible for complying with the laws of your jurisdiction, and you must not use VPNs or other means to circumvent geographic restrictions.

7. Wallets and Private Keys

7.1. The Interface connects to self-custodial wallets that you control. The Operator never has access to, never stores, and can never recover your private keys, seed phrases, or funds.

7.2. You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet, devices, private keys, and seed phrases, and for verifying the details of every transaction before signing it. Any transaction signed with your keys is deemed authorized by you.

8. Third-Party Integrations

8.1. WalletConnect (Reown). The Interface uses WalletConnect for connecting mobile and remote wallets. Your use of WalletConnect is subject to Reown's own terms and privacy policy.

8.2. LI.FI. All API interactions initiated through the Interface are subject to LI.FI's privacy policy.

8.3. Third-party services are outside the Operator's control. The Operator is not responsible for their availability, accuracy, security, or data practices.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

9.1. THE INTERFACE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION.

9.2. Without limiting the foregoing, the Operator does not warrant or guarantee:

  • uptime or continuous availability of the Interface;
  • the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any quote, price, or route;
  • the availability of any specific token, token pair, chain, bridge, or route;
  • that the Interface will be free of errors, defects, or security vulnerabilities.

10. Limitation of Liability

10.1. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE OPERATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DIGITAL ASSETS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE INTERFACE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

10.2. Liability cap. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Interface shall not exceed the total amount of fees (if any) paid by you directly to the Operator in the thirty (30) days preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

10.3. You acknowledge that the Operator charges no direct fees to users — integrator fees, where applicable, are collected by LI.FI on the Operator's behalf as part of protocol execution — and that the cap in Section 10.2 may therefore equal zero.

10.4. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations of liability; in such jurisdictions, the above limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

11.1. These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Operator is domiciled at the time a dispute arises (the "Operator's Jurisdiction"), without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

11.2. Informal resolution first. Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact the Operator through the channels in Section 13 and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.

11.3. Any dispute not resolved informally shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the Operator's Jurisdiction.

12. Changes to These Terms

12.1. The Operator may update these Terms at any time. The updated version will be posted on the Interface with a revised "Last updated" date.

12.2. Your continued use of the Interface after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree with a change, your sole remedy is to stop using the Interface.

13. Contact

Questions about these Terms can be directed to the Operator through the contact channels published at decker.im.

By using Hop Swap, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms of Service.
