If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately discontinue your use of the platform. Your continued use of the platform signifies your acceptance of any updated or revised Terms.

Halal.io reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to amend or modify these Terms at any time, with or without notice. Such amendments will become effective immediately upon their posting on the platform or at the time they are communicated to you via email or other means.

These Terms do not create any partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between you and Halal.io. You acknowledge that you are using the platform in your individual capacity and not on behalf of any entity, unless you are an authorized representative of that entity, in which case you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

Halal.io grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the platform for lawful purposes in accordance with these Terms. This license is subject to your compliance with these Terms and does not grant you any rights to modify, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works from, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, or otherwise exploit the platform or its content, except as expressly authorized herein.

Halal.io operates on a non-custodial basis, meaning that while the platform facilitates transactions, trades, and investments, it does not hold, manage, or control user assets directly. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the management of your private keys, digital wallets, and any assets associated with your account. Halal.io does not have access to your private keys and cannot assist in the recovery of lost or stolen assets. The security and protection of your private keys and wallets are entirely your responsibility.

All transactions involving the $HDF token, including buying, selling, or trading on decentralized exchanges, are executed through smart contracts. These smart contracts are deployed on a blockchain and are designed to be self-executing based on the predefined conditions coded within them. Halal.io does not control or alter these smart contracts once they are deployed, and users understand that the outcome of transactions is determined solely by the smart contract code. You accept that blockchain transactions are final and irreversible, and you agree to bear all risks associated with the use of such smart contracts.

Comply with Legal Requirements: Adhere to all applicable local and international laws, including tax obligations and regulatory requirements relevant to cryptocurrency transactions and investments.

Use the Platform Ethically: Engage with the platform in a manner consistent with Islamic ethical guidelines and the technical requirements outlined in these Terms

Investing in cryptocurrencies and DeFi projects through Halal.io involves substantial risks, including, but not limited to, market volatility, liquidity risks, smart contract vulnerabilities, and the potential for total loss of invested funds. You acknowledge that the value of $HDF tokens and other digital assets can fluctuate significantly, and there is no guarantee of profit or positive return on investment. Halal.io does not provide financial, legal, or tax advice, and you are strongly encouraged to consult with qualified professionals before making any investment decisions.
