Terms of Service
Last updated: May 28, 2026
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of perpdesk.xyz and the suggestion-only productivity platform powered by artificial intelligence (“AI”), including its associated AI agents, strategy tools, and analytics (collectively, the “Platform”), provided by PerpDesk Inc. (“PerpDesk”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). By accessing or using the Platform, connecting a wallet, creating an account, or using any AI agent or other tool, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Platform.
Important notice
Section 9 of these Terms contains a binding arbitration clause and class-action waiver. Please read it carefully before using the Platform.
01Introduction & Acceptance
1.1Beta and Experimental Nature
The Platform is still in its beta stage and is considered experimental. Features may be incomplete, could contain bugs, may change without notice, or simply stop working. You acknowledge that you are using an experimental product and that the product may have issues. PerpDesk reserves the right to suspend, modify, or terminate beta features or the entire Platform at any time without liability.
1.2Not Advice, Not a Broker, Not an Exchange, and Not a Regulated Entity
PerpDesk is a suggestions-only productivity tool and platform. PerpDesk:
- Does not provide any kind of investment, trading, legal, tax, or financial advice;
- Does not perform as a broker, introducing broker (IB), futures commission merchant (FCM), commodity trading advisor (CTA), crypto-asset service provider (CASP), or any other type of regulated entity;
- Does not execute, route, clear, or have any discretionary control over any trades or orders;
- Does not generate personalized recommendations or individualized “buy/sell” signals based on a user’s specific financial situation, investment objectives, or risk tolerance;
- Does not custody, hold, control, or have any access to any user assets or private keys.
All trading decisions and executions occur solely by the user on third-party exchanges. PerpDesk merely provides informational and educational tools to assist self-directed traders.
1.3Human Confirmation Requirement
All trading related actions generated by the Platform or any AI agent must be explicitly confirmed by the user before execution. All trading decisions and executions are made solely by the user on third-party exchanges. PerpDesk will never automatically execute, submit, or route any order on your behalf.
1.4Relationship to Underlying Exchanges
The Platform is solely a productivity and agent layer running on top of third-party perpetual futures exchanges (each, a “Perpetual DEX”). The Perpetual DEXs supported by the Platform may change at any time without notice, including through the addition, removal, or modification of supported integrations; the current list of supported Perpetual DEXs includes but is not limited to Hyperliquid, Lighter, Aster, EdgeX, and Orderly. PerpDesk does not operate, control, manage, or custody any exchange, smart contract, or user assets. All trades are executed directly by the user on the exchanges. PerpDesk is not liable for any exchange outages, liquidations, API changes, modifications to supported exchanges, additions or removals of Perpetual DEX integrations, or other actions of the exchanges. PerpDesk is not the operator of any Perpetual DEX integrated into the Platform, does not control the smart contracts or validators of any such protocol, and does not act as a counterparty, market maker, or liquidity provider in any trade you execute.
1.5Regulatory Positioning
PerpDesk believes its activities, as currently structured, fall outside financial regulatory licensing requirements, but makes no representation or warranty as to its regulatory status in any particular jurisdiction. Applicable laws and regulations may change, and PerpDesk’s regulatory status may be affected by such changes. You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of the Platform complies with applicable law in your jurisdiction.
02Eligibility & Lawful Use
2.1Age & Capacity
You must be 18 years of age or older (or older than 18 if the age of majority in your jurisdiction is greater than 18) and have sufficient legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
2.2Eligibility and Lawful Use
The Platform is available only in jurisdictions where such use is lawful under applicable law. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that:
- Use of the Platform (including any live trading features) is lawful in your jurisdiction;
- You are not relying on PerpDesk for any brokerage, advisory, or execution services or regulated services;
- You will comply with all applicable laws, including securities, commodities, derivatives, and sanctions regulations.

- Cuba
- Iran
- North Korea
- Syria
- Russia
- Belarus
- The Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine
- Myanmar (Burma)
- Venezuela
- Any other jurisdiction subject to comprehensive economic sanctions administered by the United Nations, OFAC, the European Union, or the United Kingdom
By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are not located in a Restricted Jurisdiction and that your use of the Platform complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction, including laws governing leveraged and derivative trading. PerpDesk reserves the right to update the list of Restricted Jurisdictions at any time in response to changes in applicable law or regulatory guidance.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Platform is not available to any person or entity designated as a “Specially Designated National” by OFAC, placed on the U.S. Commerce Department’s Denied Persons List, listed on the UN Security Council Consolidated Sanctions List, or subject to equivalent designations under the sanctions regimes of Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, or Switzerland.
2.4Protocol-Specific Restrictions
Certain Perpetual DEX protocols impose their own access restrictions independent of PerpDesk’s geographic restrictions above. Where the Platform connects to the Hyperliquid protocol, the following persons are prohibited from using any feature of the Platform that routes transactions to or interacts with the Hyperliquid protocol:
- persons or entities who reside in, are located in, are incorporated in, or have a registered office in the United States of America or Ontario, Canada;
- persons or entities who reside in, are located in, are incorporated in, or have a registered office in jurisdictions subject to applicable economic and trade sanctions or export control laws and regulations; and
- citizens of any such restricted territory, regardless of their current location.
As additional Perpetual DEX protocols are integrated into the Platform, their respective access restrictions will be disclosed in updates to these Terms or in supplemental notices. By using any perpetual contract feature, you represent and warrant that you are not a restricted person under the terms of the applicable Perpetual DEX protocol.
2.5No Circumvention
You may not use a VPN, proxy, Tor, or other methods of circumventing eligibility or legal restrictions, including any protocol-specific restrictions described in Section 2.4. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that your use is lawful.
2.6Your Compliance Responsibility
You are fully responsible for determining whether your use of the Platform (including any live trading) is lawful in your jurisdiction and for complying with all applicable laws, including tax, securities, commodities, and derivatives regulations.
03Accounts, Wallets & Security
3.1Non-Custodial Requirement
The Platform requires connection of a non-custodial wallet. PerpDesk does not custody your private keys, seed phrases, or assets. You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet and any transaction you make.
3.2Account Registration
Some features require an account. You agree to provide true, accurate, and current information, which you will update as necessary. You will be responsible for all activity performed through your account.
3.3Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You must promptly notify PerpDesk of any unauthorized access to your account credentials.
04Description of Services & AI Agents
4.1Suggestions-Only Productivity Tools
The Platform includes various AI-powered tools, agents, analytics, and strategy builders, including, but not limited to, agents Luma, Meridian, Riven, Brix, Koda, Lucid, Mentor, and Vanta, that generate suggestions only. You must affirmatively approve all outputs generated by the AI.
4.2Nature of AI Outputs
You are interacting with an AI-assisted trading system, not a licensed financial adviser, broker, investment professional, or regulated intermediary. All agent-generated content, analysis, trade proposals, regime assessments, research summaries, and strategy commentary are provided on an informational basis only and do not constitute investment advice, financial advice, or a solicitation to buy or sell any asset. AI output is probabilistic in nature and may contain errors, omissions, outdated information, or bias arising from training data.
4.3AI Limitations
Agent outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or contextually inappropriate. Agents may misinterpret complex or novel market conditions and may produce repetitive, low-quality, or incorrect results. PerpDesk does not guarantee the accuracy, reliability, or profitability of any agent-generated content, trade proposal, or strategy.
4.4No Order Transmission or Key Access
Under no circumstances do PerpDesk’s AI agents transmit orders, sign transactions, interact with, access, or request access to private keys or seed phrases, or otherwise take any action that directly interfaces with a user’s wallet or any Perpetual DEX on the user’s behalf. All such actions, if taken, are initiated solely and directly by the user. Any communication, output, or suggestion generated by an AI agent that appears to constitute an order, transaction, or wallet interaction is a suggestion only and has no legal or operational effect until explicitly confirmed and executed by the user. PerpDesk will never prompt you to share, delegate access to, or otherwise expose your private keys or seed phrases through the Platform or any AI agent.
05Risks & Disclaimers
5.1“As Is” & “As Available”
The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.
5.2Trading & Leverage Risks
Perpetual futures trading involves high risk of loss, including the risk of loss in excess of your initial investment due to leverage and liquidations. Trading perpetual futures involves a substantially higher degree of risk than trading spot assets, including but not limited to:
| Risk category | Description |
|---|---|
| Leverage risk | Losses may exceed your initial margin deposit; positions may be liquidated automatically |
| Liquidation risk | Insufficient margin may result in automatic, irreversible liquidation of your position |
| Funding rate risk | Periodic funding payments may reduce your position value regardless of price direction |
| Liquidity risk | Thin order books or market disruptions may prevent execution at desired prices |
| Protocol risk | Bugs, exploits, or governance decisions affecting a Perpetual DEX may result in loss of funds |
| Oracle risk | Inaccurate price feeds may trigger erroneous liquidations |
| Network risk | Blockchain congestion or outages may prevent timely order execution or cancellation |
| AI and agent risk | Agent-generated proposals and AI outputs do not guarantee any outcome and may result in significant losses |
You may lose your entire deposit. Past performance is not indicative of future results. PerpDesk does not guarantee any profit.
5.3Irreversibility of Transactions
All transactions executed on a Perpetual DEX protocol are recorded on a public blockchain and are irreversible once confirmed. PerpDesk cannot reverse, cancel, or modify confirmed on-chain transactions.
5.4Transaction Confirmation Risk
PerpDesk cannot guarantee that any transaction submitted to a blockchain network will be confirmed, processed, or executed as expected. Transactions may be delayed, dropped, reordered, or front-run by the network or third-party validators. PerpDesk bears no liability for losses arising from the failure of any transaction to confirm or from any network-level reordering of submitted transactions.
5.5Beta & AI-Specific Risks
Given that the Platform is currently in its beta stage, you agree that you will take on additional risks associated with beta software, including, but not limited to: AI hallucinations or incorrect outputs; model drift; prompt injection; unanticipated behavior; bugs or incomplete functionality; data loss or corruption; or the failure of tools or agents.
5.6Technical & Blockchain Risks
You agree that you accept technical risks, including: bugs in smart contracts; oracle issues; network congestion or slowdown; elevated gas fees; wallet compatibility issues; and blockchain transactions that cannot be undone.
5.7MEV and Execution Risk
Transactions routed through decentralized exchange protocols may be subject to miner or validator extractable value (“MEV”), front-running, sandwich attacks, or other forms of transaction reordering by third-party network participants. These risks are inherent to decentralized network architectures and are outside PerpDesk’s control. PerpDesk makes no representation that any order routing or execution pathway eliminates or mitigates MEV exposure. You are solely responsible for understanding the execution environment of any Perpetual DEX you interact with through the Platform.
5.8Proprietary Data Feed
The Platform’s AI agents, analytics, strategy tools, and trade proposals are powered by a proprietary data aggregation feed (the “Data Feed”) from publicly available sources, including on-chain data and publicly accessible exchange feeds. Errors, delays, interruptions, or inaccuracies in the Data Feed may affect the entirety of the Platform’s outputs, including all agent outputs, trade proposals, and analytics. PerpDesk makes no representation or warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of the Data Feed or any Platform output derived from it. The Data Feed is not a regulated financial data service or market data product. PerpDesk’s AI agents do not independently verify Data Feed inputs against external sources, and all Platform outputs remain suggestions only regardless of the quality of the underlying data. PerpDesk bears no liability for any trading losses, liquidations, missed opportunities, or other damages arising from errors, delays, interruptions, or inaccuracies in the Data Feed. PerpDesk reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Data Feed at any time without notice and without liability. You are solely responsible for independently verifying any information presented through the Platform before making any trading decision.
5.9Third-Party Infrastructure Risk
The Platform’s connectivity to decentralized exchanges depends on third-party providers. PerpDesk bears no liability for service interruptions, security incidents, or loss of assets arising from the acts or omissions of such providers.
5.10Third-Party APIs and Data Feeds
The Platform may rely on third-party APIs, data feeds, price oracles, and integrations. PerpDesk makes no guarantee regarding the availability, accuracy, or reliability of any such third-party data. You acknowledge that you may be subject to additional terms or costs imposed by such third parties, and that inaccurate or delayed data from third-party sources may adversely affect agent outputs, trade proposals, and execution quality. PerpDesk bears no liability for losses arising from errors, delays, or unavailability of third-party data feeds.
5.11Regulatory and Compliance Risks
You acknowledge that the crypto trading interface regulatory landscape is rapidly evolving and that you alone are responsible for complying with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction when using the Platform. PerpDesk makes no representation that the Platform is compliant in any particular jurisdiction.
5.12No Fiduciary Relationship; No Guarantee
These Terms do not establish any fiduciary, advisory, or agency relationship between you and PerpDesk. PerpDesk does not guarantee accuracy or best execution of any trades or AI outputs.
5.13Blockchain Forks and Airdrops
In the event of a blockchain fork or similar protocol-level divergence affecting assets or positions associated with your use of the Platform, PerpDesk’s ability to support resulting assets or states depends on the capabilities and decisions of the underlying protocol and any third-party infrastructure. PerpDesk bears no obligation to support any fork-derived assets or airdropped assets and makes no representation that such assets will be accessible through the Platform interface.
06Prohibited Activities
You may not engage in, attempt to engage in, or facilitate any of the following:
- Any unlawful or fraudulent activity, including market manipulation, money laundering, or fraud.
