LN Markets reserves the right to cancel, reverse, or adjust any trade that was executed at a manifestly incorrect price due to technical errors, data feed issues, or other anomalies. LN Markets’ determination of whether a price was manifestly incorrect is final. In making such determination, LN Markets may take into account, among other things, [prices on external reference exchanges, the size and timing of the trade, and whether the price deviated significantly from prevailing market conditions]. LN Markets will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify affected Users of any cancellation, reversal, or adjustment as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the issue.
If a deposit fails due to Lightning Network routing issues, on-chain transaction errors, or other technical problems, you are responsible for ensuring the transaction is properly completed. LN Markets is not responsible for funds lost due to failed deposits resulting from user error or network issues.
If a Lightning Network withdrawal fails, the funds will be automatically re-credited to your Account Balance. For failed on-chain withdrawals, LN Markets will make reasonable efforts to recover funds but cannot guarantee recovery in all cases.
LN Markets does not provide investment, financial, tax, or legal advice. Any information provided through the Platform is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as advice.

If your Account Balance falls below the required Maintenance Margin, LN Markets will automatically liquidate some or all of your Positions. Liquidation is based on the Mark Price, not the Index Price or Last Traded Price, to prevent unnecessary liquidations from temporary price manipulation or anomalies.
The liquidation process, including liquidation prices, fees, and methodology, is set forth in the Product Documentation. LN Markets reserves the right to modify the liquidation process at any time. Any such modification will not apply retroactively to Positions that have already been liquidated, and LN Markets will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of Material Changes to the liquidation methodology, except where immediate changes are required for security, risk management, or legal reasons.

LN Markets may, at its sole discretion, cancel or reverse trades and confiscate or withhold any profits or benefits obtained as a result of Prohibited Trading Activities, and may share relevant information with law enforcement, regulatory, or other competent authorities where required or permitted by law.
LN Markets implements self-trading prevention mechanisms to prevent Users from trading with their own Orders. However, self-trading may still occur if you use multiple accounts or API connections. Any self-trading detected may result in:
Your use of the Services is subject to fees as set forth in the Product Documentation at docs.lnmarkets.com. You agree to pay all applicable fees associated with your use of the Services.

TRADING CRYPTOCURRENCY DERIVATIVES INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER TRADING IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION, INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE, AND RISK TOLERANCE. YOU COULD LOSE ALL OR A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF YOUR DEPOSITED FUNDS.
By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accept the risks described in this Section.
Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile and can fluctuate significantly within short periods. Price movements may be sudden, unexpected, and substantial. Historical performance is not indicative of future results.
Cryptocurrency markets operate continuously and may experience periods of illiquidity, extreme volatility, or market disruption. Trading halts, circuit breakers, or exchange outages may prevent you from executing trades or closing positions.
The regulatory status of cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency derivatives varies by jurisdiction and may change. Regulatory changes could adversely affect the value of your positions, your ability to trade, or the availability of the Services. Regulatory or policy changes may require LN Markets to impose Territorial Restrictions, close or liquidate Positions, or restrict Deposits or Withdrawals in certain jurisdictions, as described in Sections 3.8 and 16.8.
Cryptocurrency systems are subject to technological risks including software bugs, protocol changes, network attacks, and security vulnerabilities. These risks could result in loss of funds or inability to access the Services.
Trading with leverage amplifies both potential profits and potential losses. A small price movement against your position can result in losses that exceed your Initial Margin. You could lose your entire Account Balance rapidly.
If your Account Balance falls below the Maintenance Margin requirement, your positions will be automatically liquidated. Liquidation may occur at unfavorable prices, particularly during volatile market conditions. You may lose your entire Account Balance due to liquidation.
You are solely responsible for monitoring your positions and maintaining adequate margin. While you can add margin at any time to reduce leverage and avoid liquidation, LN Markets does not issue margin calls or warnings before liquidation. Liquidation occurs automatically when your margin ratio reaches 100%.
LNM Futures positions are subject to periodic Funding Rate payments. Depending on market conditions and your position direction, you may be required to pay Funding Rates that reduce your Account Balance over time.
Prices may “gap” or move sharply between trading sessions or during periods of extreme volatility. Stop-loss orders and other risk management tools may not execute at your specified price.
Lightning Network payments depend on available routing paths and channel liquidity. Deposits or withdrawals may fail due to insufficient channel capacity, routing failures, or network congestion.
If a Lightning Network deposit fails mid-route, funds may be temporarily locked in a payment channel (HTLC). After payment expiry (which may range from minutes to several days depending on sender parameters), the deposit will be marked as failed and funds will be returned to your sending wallet. No user action is required, though resolution time may vary.
If a Lightning Network withdrawal fails due to routing issues or insufficient channel liquidity, funds may be temporarily locked. After payment expiry (which may range from minutes to several days), the withdrawal will be marked as failed and your Account Balance will be re-credited automatically.
Lightning Network transactions are subject to limits as specified in the Product Documentation. For large amounts, on-chain transactions may be more suitable.
Lightning Network functionality depends on LN Markets’ node connectivity and the broader Lightning Network infrastructure. Service interruptions may occur due to node maintenance, channel rebalancing, or network issues.
The Platform may experience technical failures, errors, or interruptions that could prevent you from trading, closing positions, or accessing your funds. LN Markets is not liable for losses resulting from system failures.
Despite security measures, the Platform may be vulnerable to cyberattacks, hacking, or unauthorized access. Such events could result in loss of funds or personal information.
Your Account Balance represents a contractual claim against LN Markets. In the event of LN Markets’ insolvency or inability to meet its obligations, you may lose some or all of your deposited funds. Your Account Balance is not protected by any deposit guarantee scheme, investor compensation scheme, or similar protection mechanism.
Once deposits and trades are marked as finalized in your Account, they are final and irreversible. Ensure all transaction details are correct before confirming.
