HYPERPLAY TERMS OF SERVICE
LAST UPDATED: MARCH 10, 2025
Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms” or “Terms of Service”) carefully because they govern all access to and use of the websites, subdomains, and user interfaces located at https://www.hyperplay.xyz (the “Site”), including all other content, functionality, and services offered by HyperPlay Labs Inc., a Texas corporation (“HyperPlay”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). To make these Terms of Service easier to read, the Site, the HyperPlay Desktop Application, and the HyperPlay Store, including all existing and any updated or new software, content, features, functionality, and technology, are individually a “Service”, and collectively the “Services”. Please note that the Services may facilitate interaction with decentralized cryptographic protocols maintained by third-party open-source communities which HyperPlay does not own or control. These Terms apply to any other website operated by HyperPlay on which these Terms of Service are posted.
All access to and use of the Services is subject to these Terms. For purposes of these Terms, “you”, “your”, and “user” means you as the user of the Services. By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Site, or any other aspect of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an entity or other organization, you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of that entity or organization and representing to us that you have the authority to bind that entity or organization to these Terms (and, in which case, the terms “you” and “your” will refer to that entity or organization). If you do not accept the terms and conditions of these Terms, you are prohibited from accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Services.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND HYPERPLAY THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION 13 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION) BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION WHERE APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES, THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU, BUT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 12 (GOVERNING LAW AND FORUM) WILL APPLY INSTEAD.
- Agreement to the Terms.
By accessing or using any of the Services, clicking a button or checkbox to accept or agree to these Terms where that option is made available (the date on which any of the events listed above occur being the “Effective Date”), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and any additional terms, rules and conditions of participation issued by HyperPlay from time to time. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, then you are not authorized to use the Services. Please also review our Privacy Policy, which governs your use of the Services, for information on how we collect, use, and share your information.
- Changes to the Terms or the Services.
We may update these Terms, including any addendum terms, from time to time in our sole discretion. If we do, we will post the updated Terms on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these Terms were last revised. It is important that you review the Terms whenever we update them, or whenever you use the Services. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms it means that you accept and agree to the changes. If you do not agree to be bound by the changes, you may not use the Services anymore.
We may change or discontinue any Service, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion. We may change or discontinue any or all of the Services or change or remove functionality of any or all of the Services from time to time. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate to you any material change or discontinuation of a Service through the Site or public communication channels.

- Assumption of Risk.
You accept, acknowledge and assume the following risks:
- By accessing and using the Services, you represent that you understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and that you have a working knowledge of digital assets. Such systems may have vulnerabilities or other failures, or other abnormal behavior. HyperPlay is not responsible for any issues with any blockchain, including forks, technical node issues or any other issues that may result in the loss of funds. You acknowledge that the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems such as Ethereum and Arbitrum are variable and may increase at any time. You further acknowledge the risk that your digital assets may lose some or all of their value while they are supplied to or from the Services. You further acknowledge that HyperPlay is not responsible for any of these variables or risks and cannot be held liable for any resulting losses that you experience while accessing, using, or interacting with the Services. Accordingly, you understand and agree to assume full responsibility for all of the risks of accessing, using and interacting with the Services.
- There are risks associated with using digital assets and tokens, 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 or assets stored within your Digital Wallet. You accept and acknowledge that HyperPlay will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Services, however caused.
- HyperPlay and its affiliates cannot control how third-party Digital Wallets and exchange platforms quote or value cryptocurrencies and other digital assets, and so HyperPlay expressly denies and disclaims any liability to you, and denies any obligations to indemnify or hold you harmless for any losses you may incur as a result of fluctuations in the value of cryptocurrencies or other digital assets.
- You represent that you understand that smart contracts execute automatically when certain conditions are met, and as such, typically cannot be stopped or reversed, and that vulnerabilities in smart contract programming and design, including vulnerabilities that may arise due to hacking or other security incidents, can have adverse effects to your digital assets, including but not limited to significant volatility and risk of loss.
- HyperPlay does not guarantee the security or functionality of any Third-Party Service, including any third-party protocol, software or technology, intended to be compatible with HyperPlay or any HyperPlay assets.
- HyperPlay may rely on third-party platforms to provide the Services. If we are unable to maintain a good relationship with such platform providers; if the terms and conditions or pricing of such platform providers change; if 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 Services may suffer.
- You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your transactions. HyperPlay and its affiliates are not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to any such transactions. You are solely responsible for maintaining all relevant tax records and complying with any reporting requirements you may have as related to HyperPlay’s Services or any Third-Party Services. You are further solely responsible for independently maintaining the accuracy of any record submitted to any tax authority including any information derived from the Services or Third-Party Services.
- The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Services.
- Indemnity.
- To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold HyperPlay and its affiliates and service providers, and each of their respective officers, directors, supervisors, contractors and agents, harmless from and against any and all third-party claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees arising out of or in any way related to: (a) your access to, use of, or interaction with the Services, including any HyperPlay Materials; (b) your access to, use of, or interaction with any User Content, Third-Party Services, or Third-Party Content; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; (d) your violation of the rights of a third party, including but not limited to the infringement or misappropriation of a third party’s intellectual property rights; and (e) your negligence or willful misconduct.
- You agree to promptly notify HyperPlay of any such third-party claims, and to cooperate with HyperPlay in defending such third-party claims. You further agree that HyperPlay shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of any third-party claims as they relate to HyperPlay, if HyperPlay so chooses. You accept and acknowledge that you may not settle or otherwise compromise any third-party claim subject to this section without HyperPlay’s prior written consent.
- Limitation of Liability.
- TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER HYPERPLAY NOR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SERVICES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOST SAVINGS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF DATA OR GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT HYPERPLAY OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
- TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL HYPERPLAY’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID OR ARE PAYABLE BY YOU TO HYPERPLAY FOR USE OF THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE FIRST INCIDENT OUT OF WHICH THE LIABILITY AROSE, OR, IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD ANY PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS TO HYPERPLAY, ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,000). THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND HYPERPLAY.
- Governing Law and Forum.
These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 13 (Dispute Resolution), the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (as defined below) that you and HyperPlay resolve outside of arbitration will be a Federal District Court or a Texas state court located in Fort Worth, Texas, and you and HyperPlay each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
- Dispute Resolution.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
- Informal Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and HyperPlay arising out of or relating to the use of the Services, these Terms, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity of these Terms (collectively, “Disputes”), either party must first attempt to resolve such Dispute informally. Accordingly, neither you nor HyperPlay may start a formal arbitration proceeding for at least sixty (60) days after one party notifies the other party of a Dispute in writing. As part of this informal resolution process, you must deliver your written notices via hand or first-class mail to us at HyperPlay Labs Inc., 600 W 6th Street, Fourth Floor #1079, Fort Worth, TX 76102.
- Mandatory Binding Arbitration. After the informal dispute resolution process has been exhausted, any remaining Disputes will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration (and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding), including threshold questions of arbitrability of any Disputes. You hereby waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any other dispute arising out of or related to these Terms and the Services, including Disputes related to privacy and data security resolved in court. Further, you hereby waive all rights to participate in any class action lawsuit or class wide arbitration against HyperPlay. Instead, any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, as well as any issue on its validity and existence, shall be referred to and finally and exclusively resolved by arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration shall be held on a confidential basis before a single arbitrator, who shall be selected pursuant to JAMS rules, including where applicable the JAMS’ Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines. The arbitration will be held in Fort Worth, Texas, unless you and we both agree to hold it elsewhere. Unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate your claims with those of any other party. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding, and non-appealable. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If for any reason a claim by law or equity must proceed in court rather than in arbitration you agree any claim may only be brought only in a Federal District Court or a Texas state court located in Fort Worth, Texas.
- Exceptions. As limited exceptions to Section 13(B) above: (i) both parties may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court in Fort Worth, Texas if it qualifies; and (ii) each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of its intellectual property rights. Any dispute about whether a Dispute qualifies for small claims court will be resolved by that court, not by an arbitrator, in which case the arbitration proceeding will remain closed unless and until the small claims court issues a decision that the Dispute should proceed in arbitration.
- Class Action Waiver. All Disputes must be submitted on an individual basis. No Disputes may be arbitrated on a class or collective basis. You and HyperPlay expressly waive any right to submit, initiate, or participate in a representative capacity as a plaintiff, claimant or member in a class action, collective action or other representative or joint action, regardless of whether the action is filed in arbitration or in court. Unless both parties agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one Dispute or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of an individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual Dispute. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this section’s limitations as to a particular Dispute, then that Dispute (and only that Dispute) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason, or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions herein shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate Disputes. This provision shall survive termination of these Terms.
- General Terms.
- Assignment. Except where provided by applicable law in your jurisdiction, you may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without HyperPlay’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms absent our consent or your statutory right, without such consent, will be null and void in its entirety. HyperPlay may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.
- Reservation of Rights. HyperPlay and its licensors exclusively own all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, including all associated intellectual property rights.

You agree not to remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark, or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying the Services.
- Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing contained in these Terms shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture, or other form of joint enterprise, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the parties, and neither party shall have authority to contract for or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever.
- No Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of these Terms are intended for the benefit of and are enforceable solely by the parties hereto, and nothing in these Terms will be construed as giving any other person any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of these Terms or any provision hereof.
- Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between HyperPlay and you regarding the Services, and these Terms supersede and replace all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between HyperPlay and you regarding the Services. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
- Notices. Any notices or other communications provided by HyperPlay under these Terms will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
- Waiver of Rights. HyperPlay’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of HyperPlay. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
- Severability. If any portion of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of the Terms will remain in full force and effect. Any invalid or unenforceable portions will be interpreted to effect and intent of the original portion. If such construction is not possible, the invalid or unenforceable portion will be severed from these Terms, but the rest of the Terms will remain in full force and effect.
