with regulatory requirements and international sanctions. Users in restricted
jurisdictions cannot place Perps orders.

Order placement is not permitted from:
- United States
- Canada
- Cuba
- Iran
- North Korea
- Syria
- Crimea

notices or applicable law.
For Builders
If you’re integrating Perps, enforce these restrictions before submitting orders
for a user:
- Verify the end user’s location before placing orders.
- Block order submission entirely for users in any of the listed jurisdictions.
Do not only display a warning.
- Apply the same check to any flow that results in a new position, including
programmatic strategies that act on behalf of a user.
Read-only market data is not subject to these restrictions.
