SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Company provides the following services:
Allows the user (“User”) to select the digital currency User wishes to exchange from (the “IN Token”) and the digital currency that User seeks to receive (the “OUT Token”). In all cases, both the IN Token and OUT Token are paired with Monero (IN Token and OUT Token are jointly referred to as the “Crypto Pair”).
Aggregates various exchange quotes and optimizes for the lowest fees and maximum security based on vendor quotes.
Allows User to accept these quotes and route their transaction to the respective exchanges.
Provides an exchange-generated destination address where the User may send funds into to initiate the exchange.
Helps track the funds as they move through the two exchanges.
At no point does the Company safekeep, store, transfer, transmit, or route users funds or assets. User funds or assets are transferred and transmitted by exchanges, not Houdini Swap. For greater clarity, Houdini Swap has no access to the exchange-generated address, however it can reach out to the exchange for support.

DISCLAIMER
RISKS INVOLVED
Prospective users of the Company digital currency platform who buy, sell, swap, and hold digital currency should carefully consider and evaluate all risks and uncertainties associated with the Company and its business and operations.
Potential risks include, but are not limited to:
Regulations and compliance risks
Highly speculative trading price risks
Digital currency may be non-refundable and illiquid
There is no guarantee of liquidity or market price of any digital currency at any extent at any time. At any given time in transacting, there may be limited or no liquidity in the ability to buy and/or sell digital currencies to effectuate transactions. The Company bears no responsibility for this lack of liquidity in any of its functional digital currencies traded on its platform. Liquidity refers to the extent to which a market allows assets to be bought and sold at stable prices. Lower liquidity tends to result in a more volatile market (especially when large orders are placed), and it causes prices to change more drastically; whereas higher liquidity creates a less volatile market, and prices do not fluctuate as significantly. The Company cannot guarantee that there will be any demand or market for any digital currencies allowed to be traded on its platform.
Any one or all of our exchange partners may at any time freeze or temporarily suspend access to User funds in accounts because of Know-Your-Customer requirements or other nefarious activities, law enforcement, etc.
Regulation of digital currency platforms in St. Vincent or worldwide, and/or regulation of digital swap platforms in St. Vincent or worldwide, may materially and adversely affect the market perception or market price of any of the digital currencies bought or sold on the Houdini Swap, whether it is justified.
The Company may experience system failures, unplanned interruptions in its network or services, hardware or software defects, security breaches or other causes that could adversely affect the Company’s infrastructure network, and/or the Company’s platform.
The Company is not able to anticipate occurrences of hacks, cyberattacks, distributed denials of service or errors, vulnerabilities or defects in the Houdini Swap, the smart contracts on which the Company relies on, the Houdini Swap relies on, or on the Ethereum blockchain, or on any other blockchain. Such events may include, for example, flaws in programming or source code leading to exploitation or abuse thereof. Company may not be able to detect such hacks, cyber-attacks, distributed denials of service errors vulnerabilities or defects in a timely manner and may not have sufficient resources to efficiently cope with multiple service incidents happening simultaneously or in rapid succession.
Company may be prone to attacks on its infrastructure intended to steal information about its technology, financial data or user information or take other actions that would be damaging to Company and/or holders of all digital currencies. Any significant breach of Company security measures or other disruptions resulting in a compromise of the usability, stability, and security of the Houdini Swap may adversely affect the ability of uses to buy and sell cryptocurrencies.
Company is dependent in part on the location and data center facilities of third parties. Company’s current infrastructure network is in part established through servers which are housed at the location facilities of third parties, and servers that it rents at data center facilities of third parties. If Company is unable to renew its data facility lease on commercially reasonable terms or at all, Company may be required to transfer its servers to a new data center facility and may incur significant costs and possible service interruption in connection with the relocation. These facilities are also vulnerable to damage or interruption from, among others, natural disasters, arson, terrorist attacks, power losses, and telecommunication failures. Any such security breaches or damages which occur which impact upon Company’s infrastructure network and/or the Houdini Swap may adversely impact the ability to buy and sell cryptocurrencies.
Suppliers on which Company relies for servers, bandwidth, location and other services could also be negatively impacted by economic conditions that, in turn, could have a negative impact on Company operations or expenses. There can be no assurance, therefore, that current economic conditions or worsening economic conditions or a prolonged or recurring recession will not have a significant adverse impact on Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations and hence the Houdini Swap and/or ability to structure, license and launch the Houdini Swap future business lines. Any such circumstances would then correspondingly negatively impact the trading price of any of the digital currencies. The Company or any of the functional digital currencies allowed to be bought or sold through Company may be affected by newly implemented regulations.
Buying or selling digital currency is generally unregulated worldwide and highly uncertain, while numerous regulatory authorities across jurisdictions have considered implementing regulatory regimes which govern digital currency or digital currency markets. Any such circumstances would then correspondingly negatively impact the trading price of any of the digital currencies. The Company or any of the functional digital currencies allowed to be bought or sold through the Company may be affected by newly implemented regulations.
