* Laws applicable to the ESPs involved in their swaps

<summary>Why does Husher not give legal or tax guidance?</summary>

Because Husher operates as a non-custodial software layer rather than a financial intermediary, it is not in a position to interpret or apply the laws of any specific jurisdiction on behalf of users. Applicable rules depend on your location, the ESPs you interact with, and the nature of your activity. Consult a qualified legal or tax adviser for guidance specific to your situation.
