# Availability

> Who can use trading, and where.

Research is open in more places than trading. Trading is not available everywhere. You must be 18 or older to use AlphaYou.

## Who can trade

* You must be **at least 18** and able to enter into a binding contract to trade or copy.
* You are responsible for checking that trading is lawful where you live.
* You may not use trading from a place where it is prohibited, including any place AlphaYou restricts from time to time. If trading is not offered where you are, AlphaYou is research only.

AlphaYou's research, alerts and smart-money tracking stay open to people in places where trading is not available.

## Hyperliquid has its own rules

Trades run on Hyperliquid, which has its own terms and location rules. Read the [Hyperliquid terms](https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/terms) as well as the AlphaYou [Terms](https://app.alphayou.net/terms).

## If trading is blocked for you

You see "Trading is not available in your location. AlphaYou research, alerts and smart-money tracking are still open." The Terms and Privacy pages stay readable.

If you lose access while a copy is running, write to [info@alphayou.net](mailto:info@alphayou.net). Your funds stay in your wallet.

Trading access can change, and the list of restricted places is not repeated here.
