/ Disclosures

General Research, Platform, and Use Disclaimers

Software Only; No Advisory Relationship

Hyperion AI IS A SOFTWARE AND MARKET-RESEARCH PLATFORM. Hyperion AI IS NOT A BROKER-DEALER, REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISER, COMMODITY TRADING ADVISER, FINANCIAL PLANNER, TAX ADVISER, LAW FIRM, EXCHANGE, CUSTODIAN, OR FIDUCIARY.

No feature, model, alert, thesis, score, ranking, chart, watchlist, strategy, prompt, response, notification, data point, or interface element is individualized financial, legal, tax, accounting, brokerage, investment, or trading advice. Nothing in the Services is an offer, solicitation, endorsement, instruction, or recommendation to buy, sell, hold, short, hedge, or trade any security, option, futures contract, foreign exchange instrument, cryptocurrency, prediction market contract, commodity interest, or other financial product.

Self-Directed Use and Assumption of Risk

You are solely responsible for your research, suitability analysis, strategy design, risk controls, account settings, order review, tax consequences, and financial decisions. You should consult qualified professionals before making investment, trading, legal, accounting, or tax decisions. You agree not to rely on the Services as the sole basis for any financial decision.

Trading and investing are inherently risky. You may lose some or all of your capital, including more than your initial deposit when using margin, options, short selling, leveraged products, futures, forex, or similar instruments.

No Guarantee of Availability, Accuracy, or Outcome

The Services may be unavailable, delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, interrupted, or affected by software defects, model defects, market disruptions, exchange halts, third-party outages, rate limits, stale data, calculation errors, security events, maintenance, or network failures. Hyperion AI does not guarantee profit, return, execution quality, signal accuracy, model accuracy, risk reduction, or portfolio performance.

Liability Allocation

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Hyperion AI AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, DATA PROVIDERS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR TRADING LOSSES, MARKET LOSSES, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, REPUTATIONAL HARM, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SPECIAL DAMAGES, EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICES.

If liability cannot be excluded, Hyperion AI's total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Services will not exceed the lesser of (a) amounts you paid to Hyperion AI for the Services in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $100.

Artificial Intelligence, Models, and Signals

AI Outputs Are Probabilistic and Fallible

The Services may use large language models, machine learning systems, statistical models, ranking systems, scoring formulas, rules engines, and third-party AI infrastructure. These systems may produce hallucinations, false statements, stale conclusions, incomplete analysis, incorrect citations, invalid calculations, unsuitable outputs, or misleading confidence levels.

Signals and Scores Are Not Instructions

Scores, conviction labels, "buy", "sell", "hold", "exit", "breakout", "momentum", "beneficiary", "risk", "impact", "confidence", "thesis", or similar labels are software classifications and analytical shorthand only. They are not personalized recommendations, trading instructions, or guarantees.

Event Rankings, Theses, and Stock Mappings Are Analysis

Hyperion AI uses AI models to rank macro events, draft theses, describe causal pillars, map companies that may be exposed to an event, and track milestones. Rankings order events by modelled significance, not by expected investment return. A stock appearing in a thesis or pillar means the analysis links it to that event; it is not a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, or short it, and is not suited to any individual's circumstances. Theses can be wrong, and events can unfold differently or not at all. An AI analysis may be reused across accounts that request the same analysis, so it is never tailored to you.

Voice-Assistant Integrations

If you link a voice-assistant integration, spoken requests can be misheard, misinterpreted, or triggered by someone else near your device, and spoken summaries omit detail shown on screen. Review anything you hear in Hyperion AI itself before relying on it.

Model Drift, Prompt Risk, and Automation Risk

• Model drift: Outputs may change as models, prompts, market regimes, third-party tools, or data sources change.
• Prompt sensitivity: Different wording, missing context, or hidden assumptions may materially change results.
• Automation risk: Automated workflows can amplify stale data, connection failures, order-routing errors, and user configuration mistakes.
• Human review required: You must independently review AI outputs before relying on them or taking action.

No Training, Benchmarking, or Extraction Rights

AI outputs, model behavior, prompts, scoring structures, workflow logic, and interface responses are part of the protected Hyperion AI platform. You may not use them to train, fine-tune, distill, benchmark, validate, reverse engineer, replicate, or build a competing product or service without written permission.

Hypothetical, Simulated, Backtested, and Displayed Performance

Performance Displays Are Not Promises

Portfolio tracking, thesis PnL, baseline capture, backtests, strategy simulations, scenario models, projected returns, win/loss estimates, rankings, watchlists, and paper-trading views are informational software displays. They may omit commissions, spreads, slippage, taxes, borrowing costs, margin interest, short locate fees, liquidity constraints, rejected orders, partial fills, regulatory restrictions, and other real-world factors.

Past Performance and Backtests

Past performance, historical analysis, backtested results, simulated returns, paper results, and examples are not reliable indicators of future performance. Market regimes change. Strategies that appeared successful in one period can fail immediately, permanently, or catastrophically in another.

User-Provided Settings

Any performance or risk display may depend on user settings, imported data, symbol mapping, timestamps, currencies, corporate actions, and calculation assumptions. You are responsible for verifying those assumptions before making decisions.

Trading, Options, Margin, and Intraday Risk

Market and Execution Risk

• Total loss: You can lose all capital allocated to a strategy or account.
• Loss beyond deposit: Margin, options, short selling, futures, and leveraged products may create losses greater than your initial deposit.
• Execution risk: Orders may be rejected, delayed, partially filled, routed differently, filled at worse prices, or not filled at all.
• Liquidity risk: Thin markets, wide spreads, halts, news events, and after-hours conditions may prevent exits or materially worsen prices.
• Operational risk: Internet outages, device failures, brokerage outages, API errors, webhook delays, and misconfiguration can cause unintended results.

Intraday and Margin Rules

Intraday and margin activity is governed by your brokerage agreement, exchange rules, clearing requirements, regulatory rules, account type, product permissions, and real-time risk controls. Brokers may impose equity requirements, margin calls, liquidation rights, order restrictions, concentration limits, good-faith violation rules, unsettled-cash restrictions, or day-trading controls. You must consult your broker for rules that apply to your account before trading.

Options, Shorts, Crypto, Forex, and Prediction Markets

Options can expire worthless and complex options strategies can create nonlinear losses. Short selling can create theoretically unlimited losses. Crypto, forex, futures, and prediction markets may trade continuously, gap sharply, lack investor protections available in securities markets, or be restricted by jurisdiction. Leveraged products can magnify losses quickly.

Third-Party Data, Broker APIs, and Connected Services

Third-Party Dependencies

Hyperion AI may depend on brokerages, exchanges, data vendors, cloud providers, payment processors, identity providers, analytics tools, email services, SMS/push providers, AI providers, and other third parties. Third-party services are governed by their own agreements, policies, schedules, limitations, and fees.

Market Data Limitations

Market data may be delayed, stale, corrected, restated, unavailable, misformatted, incomplete, mapped to the wrong symbol, adjusted for corporate actions, or subject to vendor restrictions. You must verify market data through official brokerage, exchange, issuer, or regulatory sources before trading. Prices, news, and filings come from third-party providers (including Financial Modeling Prep, Yahoo Finance, Finnhub, TwelveData, AlphaVantage, TradingView, and StockTwits) and public regulatory filings. They are provided for research and thesis tracking only, are not redistributed as an official exchange feed, and may be delayed or indicative.

Statutory Filing Delays (STOCK Act & SEC Form 4): Under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, U.S. Senate and House Periodic Transaction Reports (PTRs) may be filed up to 30 to 45 days after the underlying transaction and are typically reported in broad dollar ranges (e.g., $1,001–$15,000) rather than exact share quantities. SEC Form 4 insider filings may be reported up to two (2) business days after execution and may reflect pre-scheduled Rule 10b5-1 plans, option exercises, or tax withholdings. Congressional, insider, and earnings data do not represent real-time institutional execution.

Trading Psychology, Journaling & Wellness Features

Any trading psychology, emotional discipline, or AI-assisted journaling features within Hyperion AI are provided solely for personal self-reflection and educational productivity. Hyperion AI does not provide medical, clinical, psychological, psychiatric, or behavioral-health advice, diagnosis, or therapy. If you experience emotional distress, financial crisis, or compulsive trading behavior, stop trading immediately and contact a qualified professional or call/text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (988 in the US/Canada) or the National Problem Gambling Helpline (1-800-GAMBLER).

Broker and API Limitations

Broker APIs may reject orders, throttle requests, disconnect accounts, change permissions, delay updates, report stale account values, impose product restrictions, liquidate positions, or modify margin requirements. Hyperion AI is not responsible for broker actions, data vendor actions, third-party outages, order execution, account losses, rejected trades, fees, or regulatory restrictions.

Credential and Permission Responsibility

You are responsible for granting, reviewing, limiting, and revoking third-party permissions and API credentials. You should use least-privilege permissions whenever possible and should never connect capital, accounts, or permissions you are not prepared to monitor directly.

Portfolio Automation in Companion Apps

Hyperion AI does not place trades. You can choose to send a thesis portfolio to a companion trading app you have linked, such as Neptune (equities) or Orion (options), which are separate apps also operated by Rugged I/O LLC. A portfolio is sent only when you confirm the hand-off, or, if you switch on portfolio automation, when the trigger rules you set are met. Automation is off by default, and live trading must be selected explicitly (the default target is paper trading). The companion app then places orders in the brokerage account you connected to it, under its own settings, terms, and disclosures. Sending a portfolio is your decision; it does not mean Hyperion AI recommends the trades, and you can lose money.

Investor Guidance and Fraud Awareness

Review investor education materials from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA, and CFTC.

Before Making Any Investment or Trade

1. Build a personal financial plan and understand your risk tolerance.
2. Do not trade with emergency funds, rent, mortgage money, student loan funds, retirement funds you cannot afford to lose, or essential living money.
3. Understand the product, venue, liquidity, fees, tax treatment, and worst-case loss before entering a trade.
4. Diversify where appropriate and avoid concentrated exposure you cannot withstand.
5. Verify claims through official issuer, exchange, broker, SEC, FINRA, CFTC, or other regulatory sources.
6. Be skeptical of guaranteed returns, urgency, secret strategies, influencer hype, pump-and-dump activity, and unsolicited trading advice.
7. Keep independent records of orders, account statements, confirmations, tax documents, and strategy assumptions.

No Emergency or Real-Time Monitoring Service

Hyperion AI is not an emergency alert system, trade desk, brokerage supervision service, risk manager, or real-time monitoring service. You are responsible for monitoring your accounts, orders, open positions, margin status, broker notices, and market conditions directly.
