Terms of service

1Who we are and what this covers

Hasp is operated by [TO BE SET], at [TO BE SET]. These terms cover your use of haspmm.com and the Hasp Discord bot. Using either means you agree to them.

You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter a contract.

2What the service does

Hasp holds a payment while two people complete a trade with each other, and releases it when both of them confirm the trade is done. That is the whole product.

Two consequences worth being explicit about:

• We are not a party to your trade. The contract to buy and sell is between you and the person you are trading with. We are not the seller, not the buyer, and not a guarantor of either.
• We do not inspect what is traded. We see the description on the deal and the record of what each side did. We do not verify that an item exists, is genuine, works, or is owned by the person selling it.

3Your account

You are responsible for what happens under your account. Keep your password to yourself, and add an email address so you can get back in if you lose it — an address only works for that once you have confirmed it, which is why we ask.

One account per person. Accounts may not be sold, rented, or transferred, and neither may the reputation attached to them.

4What may not be traded

Escrow makes a trade safer for both sides, which is exactly why it appeals to trades that should not be happening. The following may not be traded through Hasp:

• Anything illegal to sell where either party is.
• Accounts, credentials, or access to services whose terms forbid transfer.
• Stolen goods, or goods obtained by fraud, chargeback, or account takeover.
• Weapons, controlled substances, and anything requiring a licence to sell.
• Personal data, identity documents, or lists of either.
• Malware, exploits sold for use rather than disclosure, and hacking services.
• Anything sexual involving minors, and any content depicting real violence.
• Trades whose only purpose is to move money — Hasp is not a payments service.

We may refuse or close a deal that appears to fall in this list, and we may report what we hold where the law requires it.

5Money

A payment is held from the moment it arrives until the deal resolves. It is not lent, invested, or used for anything else while it is held.

Release requires both sides to confirm, independently. There is no single action, by either trader or by us, that releases a payment on its own — other than a ruling on a dispute, under the published dispute rules.

Crypto is irreversible. Sending to an address on the wrong network, or to a mistyped address, destroys the funds, and nothing in this service can recover them. We check the format and the network of every address before it is used, and we show it back to you before anything is sent, but the address you paste is the address we use.

6Fees

The fee is shown on the deal before it is created, and again on the deal itself. It is free below $50, then tapers with the size of the deal. Whoever the two of you agree should cover it, covers it.

A refunded deal is not charged a fee. Network fees for moving crypto are not ours and are not refundable.

7Deals that go quiet

A deal nobody moves closes on its own: seven days for a draft nobody sent, three days for terms nobody accepted, two days for a deal nobody paid. You are warned before it happens, and the deal page shows the deadline from the moment the clock starts.

A funded deal is never closed by a timer. Money already in escrow is only ever moved by both sides confirming, or by a ruling. A funded deal that neither side has confirmed for 5 days is flagged for us to look at.

8Disputes

Covered in full by the dispute rules, which are part of these terms. In summary: opening one freezes the deal, a human responds within 24 hours, a ruling follows within 3 business days, and there are three possible outcomes.

9What we do not promise

The service is provided as it is. We do not promise it will be available without interruption, and we do not promise that the person you are trading with is honest, solvent, or in possession of what they are selling.

To the extent the law allows, our liability to you is limited to the fees you have paid us on the deal in question. We are not liable for the value of a trade that went wrong between you and someone else, for lost profit, or for a change in the market price of anything.

Nothing here limits liability for our own fraud, or for anything that cannot be limited under the law of [TO BE SET].

10Suspension and closure

We may suspend an account for the reasons in the dispute rules, or where we believe it is being used for something in section 4. A suspension is recorded with a reason and can be appealed.

You may close your account whenever you like, provided you have no deal still holding money. What happens to your records afterwards is in the privacy notice.

11Changes

We will post changes here with a new effective date, and tell people with an open deal before they take effect. A deal already underway is governed by the terms in force when it was accepted.

12Law

These terms are governed by the law of [TO BE SET], and its courts have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this does not remove protections you have where you live.
