Terms of Use

Last updated: [EFFECTIVE DATE]

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and [COMPANY LEGAL NAME], a [ENTITY TYPE] registered in [JURISDICTION] ("Coldfront", "we", "us"). They cover the Coldfront browser extension (the "Extension"), the website at cold-front.xyz (the "Site"), and any related documentation and support (together, the "Services").

By installing or using the Extension, or using the Site, you agree to these Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Risk Disclosure. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Services.

1. What Coldfront is

1.1 The Extension is software that runs in your own Chrome browser. It stores the private key of a Hyperliquid API wallet ("API Key") on your device, encrypted with a passphrase you choose, and gives that key to the Hyperliquid web app at app.hyperliquid.xyz while the Extension is unlocked.

1.2 Coldfront is non-custodial. We never receive, hold or have access to your API Key, your passphrase, your main wallet, your funds or your positions. Everything the Extension stores stays on your device.

1.3 Coldfront is not an exchange, broker, trading venue, custodian, wallet provider, investment adviser or financial institution. We do not execute, route, approve or confirm any order. Orders are created by the Hyperliquid app and signed with your API Key on your device.

1.4 Coldfront is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Hyperliquid, Hyperliquid Labs, Hyperliquid Corp. or the Hyper Foundation. "Hyperliquid" is used only to describe what the Extension works with.

2. Eligibility

2.1 You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract.

2.2 You must not use the Services if you are a person who may not use the Hyperliquid app under Hyperliquid's own terms, including anyone who resides in, is located in, is incorporated in or has a registered office in the United States, Ontario (Canada), or any country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions, or who is a citizen of a sanctioned territory, or who is named on a sanctions list.

2.3 You must not use VPNs, proxies or any other method to hide your location in order to use the Services or the Hyperliquid app.

2.4 You are responsible for making sure your use of the Services and of Hyperliquid is legal where you are.

3. The referral code requirement

3.1 The Extension works only with Hyperliquid accounts that joined Hyperliquid with the referral code COLDFRONT. The Extension checks this with Hyperliquid's public information service when you set it up and when you unlock it. If an account has another code or no code, the Extension will not store a key for it or unlock it.

3.2 Under Hyperliquid's referral program, an account using the code receives a discount on its trading fees, and Hyperliquid pays the owner of the code (us) a share of that account's fees. The size of the discount and of our share, and every other rule of the program, are set by Hyperliquid, not by us. Hyperliquid may change, suspend or end its program at any time.

3.3 You add the code yourself, through Hyperliquid, for example by opening app.hyperliquid.xyz/join/COLDFRONT. Hyperliquid accepts a referral code only under the conditions it sets (for example, before an account's first trade). A referral cannot be removed or changed once Hyperliquid has recorded it.

3.4 We do not charge you for the Services. Our income from your use of Hyperliquid comes only from Hyperliquid's referral program.

4. Your responsibilities

4.1 Your keys. You create and authorize the API wallet on Hyperliquid yourself, with your main wallet. You are responsible for keeping your main wallet, your API Key and your device secure.

4.2 Your passphrase. Your passphrase is never sent to us and we cannot recover it. If you forget it, you lose access to the stored key; revoke the API wallet on Hyperliquid and set up again.

4.3 Your trades. Every order placed with your API Key is yours. You are solely responsible for all trading decisions and their results, including losses, liquidations and fees.

4.4 Revocation. If you think your API Key or device may be compromised, revoke the API wallet on Hyperliquid's API page immediately. Revocation is done on Hyperliquid, not in Coldfront.

4.5 Updates. Keep the Extension up to date. Install it only from the Chrome Web Store listing linked on the Site.

5. Acceptable use

You must not:

  • use the Services in breach of any law or regulation, including sanctions, anti-money-laundering, market-abuse and tax laws;
  • use the Services to manipulate markets, including wash trading or spoofing;
  • use the Services to break Hyperliquid's terms of use, or to get around any restriction Hyperliquid applies;
  • attack, overload or interfere with the Services, Hyperliquid or anyone else's systems;
  • misrepresent your identity, location or eligibility;
  • [IF PROPRIETARY LICENCE] copy, modify, distribute or publish modified versions of the Extension, including versions that remove or alter the referral check, except as allowed by the licence in section 6.

6. Licence

6.1 [OPTION A: PROPRIETARY] We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the Extension for your own trading, in line with these Terms. The source code is published for review only; publishing it does not grant any other rights.

6.1 [OPTION B: OPEN SOURCE] The Extension's source code is licensed under [LICENCE NAME]. That licence governs your rights to the code. These Terms govern your use of the Services we operate.

6.2 The Coldfront name, logo, icon and Möbius strip artwork are ours. You may not use them to suggest that a product or service is ours or endorsed by us.

7. Third-party services

7.1 The Services depend on third parties we do not control, including Hyperliquid (its app, its blockchain and its referral program), Google (Chrome and the Chrome Web Store) and our hosting provider. Your use of them is governed by their own terms.

7.2 The Extension works with the Hyperliquid app through a way of loading an API wallet that Hyperliquid has not documented for this use. Hyperliquid can change its app at any time, and the Extension may stop working, partly or completely, without notice. We do not promise any fix or replacement.

7.3 We are not responsible for Hyperliquid's app, blockchain, prices, liquidations, outages, bugs, decisions about accounts or referral rewards, or any other act or omission of a third party.

8. No advice

Nothing on the Site, in the Extension, in our posts or in our support is financial, investment, legal or tax advice, or a recommendation to trade. Perpetual futures are high-risk leveraged products. Read the Risk Disclosure.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE SECURE, ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED OR COMPATIBLE WITH HYPERLIQUID. SECURITY REVIEWS AND AUTOMATED TESTS REDUCE RISK; THEY DO NOT REMOVE IT.

10. Limitation of liability

10.1 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, FUNDS, DIGITAL ASSETS, TRADING OPPORTUNITIES, DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES, HYPERLIQUID, OR ANY ORDER PLACED WITH YOUR API KEY, EVEN IF WE WERE TOLD SUCH LOSS WAS POSSIBLE.

10.2 OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICES IS LIMITED TO ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (US$100).

10.3 Some jurisdictions do not allow some of these exclusions or limits. In those places they apply only as far as the law allows. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or anything else that cannot be limited by law.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Coldfront and its officers, employees and contractors against any claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your breach of any law or of Hyperliquid's terms, or your trading.

12. Suspension and ending

12.1 You can stop using the Services at any time by removing the Extension. Delete the vault first if you share the computer.

12.2 We may stop offering, change or discontinue the Services, or any part of them, at any time.

12.3 Sections 3.2, 4, 7 to 11 and 13 to 15 continue after these Terms end.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms. We will post the new version on the Site with a new "Last updated" date and, for material changes, give notice in the Extension or on the Site. Continuing to use the Services after a change means you accept it.

14. Governing law and disputes

14.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW], without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

14.2 [OPTION A: COURTS] The courts of [VENUE] have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms or the Services.

14.2 [OPTION B: ARBITRATION] Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration under the rules of [ARBITRATION BODY], seated in [SEAT], in English, by one arbitrator. You and we waive any right to a jury trial or to take part in a class action, where the law allows.

15. General

15.1 These Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Risk Disclosure are the whole agreement between you and us about the Services.

15.2 If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.

15.3 Our not enforcing a right is not a waiver of it.

15.4 You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours to a successor.
