Payment Processing and Withdrawals: Hypermarket utilizes third-party payment processors and financial institutions to facilitate transactions, including but not limited to Stripe, credit card networks, and banking partners. We do not control and are not responsible for any delays, errors, failed transactions, chargebacks, or withdrawal issues caused by these third parties. Users acknowledge that funds may be subject to processing times, security checks, and compliance measures outside Hypermarket’s control.

Fees and Deductions: Users agree that applicable transaction fees, platform fees, withdrawal fees, chargeback fees, refund fees, and any other relevant costs may be deducted from their account balances. Hypermarket reserves the right to adjust these fees at any time, with or without notice.

Reputation and User Conduct: Hypermarket is not responsible for any loss of reputation, business opportunities, or financial harm caused by interactions with other users, disputes, or any claims arising from misrepresentation, fraud, or misuse of the platform. Users are solely responsible for their actions, compliance with laws, and maintaining ethical business practices.

Third-Party Vendors and Services: Hypermarket integrates with various third-party vendors for payment processing, fraud prevention, compliance, shipping, and other services. We do not guarantee the performance, security, availability, or continued partnership with any third-party service provider. Any disputes, technical failures, or disruptions caused by these vendors are outside of Hypermarket’s liability.

Account Restrictions and Platform Changes: Hypermarket reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate accounts, features, or payment access at its sole discretion. This includes cases of suspected fraud, policy violations, regulatory requirements, or business decisions that impact platform operations.

By using Hypermarket, you acknowledge and agree to these disclaimers and accept that Hypermarket is not liable for any direct or indirect consequences resulting from the use of its services.

9.2.1. Use of Payment Processing Technology. Hypermarket may utilize traditional payment processing technologies, including credit cards, bank accounts, Stripe, and other financial networks in providing the Services. You acknowledge and agree that such technologies are subject to regulatory oversight and operational risks inherent to the financial system, and that there is significant uncertainty regarding their operation, effects, risks, and the application of existing law. You also agree to comply with all terms and conditions outlined by Stripe and any other third-party vendors used by Hypermarket in the provision of the Services. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Hypermarket disclaims any and all liability related to the foregoing.

9.2.2. Certain Risks of Payment Processing Technology. The technology utilized in delivering the Services depends on third-party payment networks, such as Stripe and major financial institutions, which are not under the control or influence of Hypermarket and are subject to many risks and uncertainties. Hypermarket may have limited or no ability to change these technologies, other than ceasing to support certain payment methods or adding support for new ones. You are solely responsible for ensuring the security of your credit cards or bank accounts used to participate in the Services. You agree to abide by the terms and conditions of Stripe and other third-party vendors for payment processing. Hypermarket will not be able to restore or issue any refunds due to issues with your payment methods. If you are unable to use the Services due to issues with your payment methods or accounts, Hypermarket does not guarantee and is not responsible for your ability to exercise your rights with respect to any assets or services.

9.2.3. Certain Risks of Payment Processing Technology. Transactions through Stripe, credit cards, bank accounts, or other financial networks may be affected by system failures, security breaches, fraud, or other issues. Once your payment information is processed, you may not be able to recover funds in case of errors or issues within the payment system. In the event that applicable payment methods are adversely affected by malfunctions, fraud, hacking, or other disruptions, you may be exposed to a risk of total loss or forfeiture of funds. You also agree to comply with and accept any changes to the terms and conditions of Stripe and other third-party services as applicable.

9.2.4. Asset Prices. The fiat-denominated prices and value in public markets of digital assets or financial products available through the Services are subject to fluctuations and volatility. Traditional financial assets and payment methods are generally more stable, but demand for assets may be driven by various factors, including investor interest. The market value of any financial products may decline below the price at which you acquired such assets through the Services or any other platform. You acknowledge and agree that the costs and speeds of transacting with financial systems such as Stripe, credit cards, and bank accounts may vary, leading to delays or difficulties in accessing your assets or completing transactions.

You agree to indemnify and hold Company (and its officers, employees, and agents) harmless, including costs and attorneys’ fees, from any claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising out of (a) your use of the Site and Services, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of applicable laws or regulations or (d) your content published through the Site and Services. Company reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims.

9.2.5. Regulatory Uncertainty. Payment processing technologies and financial products are subject to various legal and regulatory frameworks, and the Services and financial assets could be impacted by one or more regulatory or legal inquiries, actions, suits, investigations, claims, fines, or judgments. These regulatory developments could impede or limit your ability to continue using the Services or enjoying associated assets.

9.2.6. Financial Risks. The financial systems utilized, including payment processors and banking institutions, are subject to evolving legal, regulatory, and technological risks. Changes in market conditions, the advent of new technologies, or regulatory reforms may impact the ability to process payments or impact the value of any financial products or assets associated with the Services.

9.2.7. Essential Third-Party Software Dependencies. The payment systems integrated into the Services rely on third-party services such as Stripe and major banking institutions. Since Hypermarket does not provide its own financial processing software, these third-party services are essential dependencies without which the Services cannot be utilized, and assets cannot be used. You agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of these third-party services as applicable.

9.2.8.  Viruses, Hacking, Phishing, Etc. The Services, Hypermarket, or your Usable Physical and/or Digital Assets may be the target of third-party attacks, including but not limited to phishing, brute-forcing, inactive listing exploits or the use of viruses (“Third-Party Attacks”). Hypermarket will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any actual or alleged loss or damage sustained by You in connection with Third-Party Attacks.

10. INDEMNIFICATION

10.1.    Customer Liability. Customer will be responsible for any breach of the Terms of Service by your Users, affiliates, agents or subcontractors and will be liable as if it were your own breach.

10.2.    As Is. Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without any warranty or condition, express, implied or statutory.

12. GOVERNING LAW, VENUE & JURISDICTION

This Agreement, for all purposes, shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Deleware without regard to conflicts-of-law principles. Subject to Section 13 below, any action or proceeding by either party to enforce this Agreement shall be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware, US. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waive the defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding in such venue.

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with Company and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

13.1.  Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Hypermarket in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Hypermarket agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms.

THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and the Company in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND THE COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

13.2.  Arbitration Rules and Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Any claim, dispute, or controversy (“Claim”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the relationships among the parties hereto shall be resolved by one arbitrator through binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the expedited procedures set forth in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) as those Rules exist on the effective date of this Agreement. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding, and non-appealable. Judgment upon the award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. This clause is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Neither party shall sue the other party other than as provided herein or for enforcement of this clause or of the arbitrator’s award; any such suit may be brought only in a Federal District Court or a Delaware state court located in US. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement including any claim that all or any part of the Agreement is void or voidable.

13.3.  Notice of Arbitration; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Hypermarket address for the Notice of Arbitration is: 622 Bridgestone Drive, Rochester Hills, Michigan 48309. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Hypermarket may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing.

13.4.  Unenforceability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

13.5.  Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

14. GENERAL

14.1.  Changes. These Terms are subject to occasional revision, and if we make any changes, we will change the Last Updated date above. Continued use of our Site following such notice of such changes shall indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.

14.2.  Export. You agree that you will not export or re-export, directly or indirectly, the Site and Services, and/or other information or materials provided by Hypermarket hereunder, to any country for which the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction requires any export license or other governmental approval at the time of export without first obtaining such license or approval. In particular, but without limitation, the Services may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any U.S. embargoed countries or any country that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, or (b) to anyone listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List.

14.4.  Electronic Communications. The communications between you and Company use electronic means, whether you use the Site or send us emails, or whether Company posts notices on the Site or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from Company in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Company provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were be in a hard-copy writing. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.

14.5.  Entire Terms. These Terms and the AUP constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Site and Services. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation”. If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Your relationship to Company is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. These Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Company’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Company may freely assign these Terms. The terms and conditions set forth in these Terms shall be binding upon assignees.
