Last updated on July 31, 2025

Welcome to Kinetiq’s website and platform (accessible at https://kinetiq.xyz) (the "Platform") and the suite of features, services, and applications made available thereon (collectively, the "Services"), provided and operated by Kinetiq Labs (the "Company", "we", "our", or "us"). These Terms of Use (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the Platform and Services and constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the entity you represent ("you" or "your").

By accessing and/or using the Platform and any of the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you are not permitted to access or use Kinetiq’s Platform or Services.

1. Eligibility

You affirm that you are:

Not prohibited or restricted from accessing the Platform or Services by any laws or regulations applicable to you.
An adult of the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction.
Not a citizen of or located in any Restricted Jurisdiction, nor subject to applicable sanctions or prohibitions.

2. Access and Use

The Platform operates a decentralized network of validators for staking on the Hyperliquid blockchain ("Kinetiq Network"). The Platform may allow you to:

Store digital assets in self-custodial wallets.
Connect a third-party or native Digital Wallet to interact with the Platform.
Access decentralized applications (Dapps) in the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
Stake assets, mint k-Liquidity Tokens (e.g., kHYPE), and use them in lending, borrowing, and liquidity operations.

3. User Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for all activities under your account or wallet.
You must maintain confidentiality of your private keys and login credentials.
You acknowledge risks associated with blockchain transactions, including potential asset loss.
You agree not to use the Platform for illegal, fraudulent, or unauthorized activities.
You represent that all assets you use are lawfully owned or controlled by you.

4. Staking Feature

The Staking Feature is provided to facilitate participation in securing the Hyperliquid blockchain and is not a financial service. Rewards, if any, are determined by underlying blockchain protocols or third-party Dapps, not by Kinetiq. Staking is non-custodial, meaning:

Assets remain in your control.
Minimum lock-up or cooldown periods may apply.
Withdrawals depend on third-party protocols and may be delayed or restricted.

Kinetiq does not guarantee rewards or asset returns from staking.

All fees are non-refundable, and you are responsible for applicable taxes on your activities.

7. Intellectual Property

All Kinetiq trademarks, software, designs, graphics, and related content ("Kinetiq Assets") are owned by Kinetiq or its licensors. You are granted a limited, non-transferable license to access and use the Platform for personal, non-commercial purposes only.

Feedback you provide may be used freely by Kinetiq without compensation.

8. Third-Party Services
