Terms of use

1. Acceptance of these terms

By accessing bit-mex.app you agree to these terms in full. If you do not agree with any part of them, please stop using the site. We may revise these terms at any time; the revision date shown at the foot of this page indicates the current version, and continued use after a revision constitutes acceptance of it.

2. Independence and no affiliation

bit-mex.app is an independent editorial publication. It is not the official website of BitMEX. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, authorised by or in any way officially connected to HDR Global Trading Limited, its subsidiaries, or any entity operating under the BitMEX name.

All product names, logos, trademarks and registered trademarks referenced on this site remain the property of their respective owners. They are used here for identification and descriptive purposes only, and such use does not imply any endorsement or association. The official platform is available at bitmex.com.

3. Informational purpose only

All content is provided for general informational and educational purposes. Nothing published on this site constitutes financial, investment, legal, accounting or tax advice, a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any asset, or an offer or solicitation to engage in any transaction.

We are not licensed or registered as an investment adviser, broker, dealer or financial institution in any jurisdiction. Before making any financial decision you should consult a professional who is qualified in your jurisdiction and familiar with your circumstances.

4. Risk warning

Trading cryptoassets, and in particular leveraged derivatives such as perpetual swaps and futures, carries a high risk of loss. Prices are volatile, positions can be liquidated in full within minutes, and you may lose the entirety of the funds you commit. Past performance of any asset, strategy or platform is not an indicator of future results.

Cryptoasset services may be unregulated in your jurisdiction and may fall outside the scope of investor protection or deposit guarantee schemes. Access to particular platforms and products is restricted in certain countries. It is your responsibility to establish whether your use of any service described here is lawful where you live.

5. Accuracy and third-party information

We take reasonable care to describe fees, mechanisms, limits and requirements accurately, and we attribute factual claims about specific platforms to those platforms’ own published materials. Nevertheless, this industry changes rapidly and without notice. Information on this site may be incomplete, out of date, or superseded at any moment.

Where a figure or rule matters to a decision you are about to make, verify it directly with the operator before acting. In any conflict between this site and an operator’s official documentation, the official documentation governs.

6. External links and commercial relationships

This site contains links to third-party websites. We do not control those sites, do not endorse their content, and accept no responsibility for their availability, accuracy, security practices or terms.

Some outbound links are commercial: if you open an account or complete an action with a third party after following such a link, we may receive a fee at no additional cost to you. This does not affect our editorial assessments, which are written independently of any commercial arrangement. All external links carry a rel="nofollow" attribute.

7. Intellectual property

The original text, structure, illustrations and design of this site are our property and are protected by copyright. You may quote short extracts for review, comment or reporting provided you attribute them to bit-mex.app and link to the source page. Wholesale reproduction, systematic scraping or republication of substantial portions of the site without written permission is not permitted.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to use this site in any way that is unlawful, or that damages, disables or impairs it; not to attempt unauthorised access to any part of the site or its infrastructure; and not to use automated systems to place unreasonable load on it. We reserve the right to restrict access where these conditions are breached.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude liability for any loss or damage — including trading losses, loss of funds, loss of profit, loss of data or any indirect or consequential loss — arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site or any site linked from it.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

10. Privacy and analytics

This site is a static publication. We do not operate user accounts, we do not ask for personal data, and we do not sell data to anyone. Where aggregate, privacy-respecting analytics are used, they are used to understand which guides are read, not to identify individuals. Any email you send to us is used solely to reply to you.

11. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws applicable at the place of the publisher’s establishment, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protections available to you where you live.

Questions about these terms should be sent to contact@bit-mex.app.
