If you do not agree to any of the terms in this Agreement, or any subsequent modification to this Agreement, you will not be permitted to use the Services and your Account with us will be closed.  This Agreement will come into effect when you confirm electronically that you agree to it. We recommend that you retain a copy of this Agreement and transaction records. 

1.6 Use of cryptocurrency may be illegal in some jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to know the regulatory requirements concerning transactions with cryptocurrency in your jurisdiction before using the Services.

1.7 For the purposes of this Agreement:

1.7.1 an “Account” means an online account created by you in order to access the MoonPay Services;

1.7.2  a "Business Day" means any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in the respective jurisdiction referred to at clause 1.1, and which the banks are open for business in such jurisdiction;

1.7.3 “Cryptocurrency” or “Cryptocurrencies” means a cryptographically secured digital representation of value or contractual rights that uses a form of distributed ledger technology and can be transferred, stored or traded electronically. The definition of Cryptocurrency also includes “right to, or interest in, the Cryptocurrency”; 

1.7.4 “Order” means a request for the Services;

1.7.5 “Partner” means third party firms who refer you to MoonPay in order to purchase and/or sell Cryptocurrencies;

1.7.6 “Partner Sites” means Partner’s mobile applications and websites;

1.7.10 “NFT Checkout" means the service offered by MoonPay that facilitates the purchase of NFTs with major fiat payment methods.

1.8 You have understood, acknowledged and accepted the following DISCLAIMER:

1.8.1 The risk of loss in trading or holding Bitcoin or any other Cryptocurrency can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether trading or holding Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. In considering whether to trade or hold Cryptocurrency, you should be aware that the price or value of Cryptocurrency can change rapidly, decrease, and potentially even fall to zero. 

1.8.2 You acknowledge that MoonPay is not responsible for safeguarding or holding your Cryptocurrency, or any private keys or other security information to access your Cryptocurrency and that MoonPay is not responsible for any loss of Cryptocurrency resulting from theft, loss, or mishandling of Cryptocurrency private keys or other security information outside its control.  

1.8.3 Every purchase and sale of Cryptocurrency is effected on and confirmed by the respective network of that Cryptocurrency. The confirmation takes a period of time (usually less than one hour, but possibly one day or more). An Order is not complete until it is confirmed. Cryptocurrency associated with Orders that are in a pending state will be designated accordingly.

1.8.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if you are using the NFT Checkout and are purchasing an NFT from a third party, MoonPay may facilitate the purchase and delivery of the NFT to a Wallet.

1.8.5 We do not endorse any NFT in any way. We do not verify the authenticity and do not review (or approve) of any NFT. NFT sellers may make claims about intellectual property ownership, rarity and uniqueness, and value. It is solely your responsibility to investigate and determine the authenticity of any NFT you are considering buying, along with the accuracy of the claims made by the NFT seller. The NFT seller also determines the price, and that price may not be the true market value of the NFT. The rarity and true market value of the NFT may be subject to change, especially if minting is ongoing. MoonPay makes no representations with respect to any NFT to be purchased. You should not assume that purchasing an NFT gives you any legal rights beyond mere ownership of the underlying blockchain asset. MoonPay makes no representations as to any auxiliary rights, benefits or rewards supposedly accompanying any NFT.

1.8.6 A transaction between a buyer and a seller takes place in a peer-to-peer fashion on a public blockchain. We do not guarantee that you will receive your NFT, as there are a number of reasons why transactions may fail. For example, network congestion, a technical blockchain issue or another buyer purchases that NFT before your transaction completes on the blockchain. In case your transaction fails, MoonPay will pay for any gas fees included in the transaction.

By using MoonPay Services, you agree and represent that you will use the MoonPay Services only for yourself, and not on behalf of any third party. Upon successful completion of the registration process, MoonPay will establish your Account. You are fully responsible for all activity that occurs under your MoonPay Account. We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to open a MoonPay Account for you, or limit the number of Accounts  that you may hold or suspend or terminate any Account, and are not required to provide you with the reasons for taking any such action. 

As part of the registration process, you must provide MoonPay with the information that is requested as part of the Account opening process to identify and verify your identity and for the detection of anti-money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other financial crime and permit us to keep a record of such information.

When we carry out these enquiries, you acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be disclosed to credit reference and fraud prevention or financial crime agencies and that these agencies may respond to our enquiries in full.

To view your limits, login to your MoonPay Account. Your transaction limits may vary depending on your payment method, verification steps you have completed and other factors. We reserve the right to change applicable limits as we deem necessary and where possible will provide advance notice to you, although in some cases this will not be possible and you will be informed after any changes to the applicable limits have taken place. If you wish to raise your limits beyond the posted amounts, you may submit a request at unknown node

5.2 We may require you to submit additional information about yourself and provide additional records, if you wish to raise your limits ("Enhanced Due Diligence"). In our discretion, we may refuse to raise your limits, or we may lower your limits at a subsequent time even if you have completed Enhanced Due Diligence. 

6. Cryptocurrency orders

6.1 You will be able to purchase and sell (or swap) Cryptocurrencies (if in a supported region) from and to us, through our Site and through Partner Sites subject to the applicable fees and limits displayed during the purchase and sale flow. The price, exchange rate and amount of the Cryptocurrency that you wish to purchase or sell will be confirmed at the time that you place an Order with us.

6.2 Acceptance by us of an Order does not guarantee that you will receive the corresponding amount of Cryptocurrency or fiat currency. The Cryptocurrency Order  is conditional upon actual receipt by us of the funds from your credit or debit card (or in the case of a swap, the applicable Cryptocurrency), as well as payment of any applicable fees.

6.3 Subject to clause 6.2 and the Order being honoured by the Customer’s bank, card provider or other relevant party, Cryptocurrency purchases and swaps shall be credited to any Cryptocurrency Wallet, as provided by you at the time of the Order, as soon as possible once the Cryptocurrency purchase has been confirmed by the Cryptocurrency network.

Cryptocurrency Orders  that are in a pending state will not be credited to the Wallet.

6.4 Subject to clauses 6.2 and 8, Cryptocurrency sales shall be debited to any Cryptocurrency Wallet, as provided by you at the time of the Order, as soon as possible once the Cryptocurrency sale has been confirmed by the Cryptocurrency network.

6.5 MoonPay may use a third-party payment processor to process any fiat payment between you and MoonPay.

6.6 Recurring Transactions. If you set up a recurring purchase or sale of Cryptocurrencies (a "Future Transaction"), you authorise us to initiate recurring electronic payments in accordance with your selected Cryptocurrency Order. Your Future Transactions will occur in identical, periodic instalments, based on your period selection (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly), until either you or MoonPay cancels the Future Transaction. This authorisation will remain in full force and effect until you change your Future Transaction settings or until you provide us with written notice via unknown node

6.7 Please note that as part of accessing our Services, you may be required to sign up to separate and independent terms when using the Partner Sites and with any third-party payment processor.

7. Cryptocurrency storage 

7.1 MoonPay does not provide any Wallet or hold, safeguard or administer any private keys or other security information or Cryptocurrency for its Customers.  

7.2 When using the Services, you will be asked to provide us with the address for your Wallet by either:

  1. providing a QR code which represents your Wallet address; 
  2. manually typing your Wallet address; 
  3. using a Wallet address automatically provided by a MoonPay partner; or
  4. accessing your MoonPay Wallet.

7.3 It is your responsibility to provide us with a true, accurate and complete Wallet address when carrying out an Order. It is therefore important that the Wallet address that you provide for an Order is correct.  You understand and agree that MoonPay accepts no liability for you providing an incorrect or inaccurate Wallet address as part of an Order.  By providing a Wallet address to us, you confirm that this is the Wallet address that should be used for the relevant Order and we will not, and have no responsibility to, check whether you have provided a correct and accurate Wallet address for the Order.

7.4 You acknowledge and agree, without prejudice to any other terms in this Agreement, that you bear all of the risk of any loss of access to your Wallet(s) and any Cryptocurrencies contained in your Wallet(s). MoonPay does not control and is not responsible for the Cryptocurrencies in your Wallet(s). You are solely responsible for any Cryptocurrencies transferred to or from your Wallet(s) and we make no, and hereby disclaim all, representations, warranties, claims and assurances as to any such transactions. If you lose your keys to your Wallet(s), you may lose access to your Wallet(s) and any Cryptocurrencies contained in your Wallet(s). MoonPay is not liable for fluctuations in the fiat currency value of Cryptocurrencies in your Wallet.

7.5. MoonPay Wallet

  1. As part of our Services, you may be able to create a MoonPay Wallet. You understand and agree that the MoonPay Wallet is a non-custodial wallet.
  2. In order to create a MoonPay Wallet, you may be required to provide additional information including your phone number or email, and a one time password (“OTP”). You agree not to provide another person's phone number or email address. This MoonPay Wallet will be linked to your MoonPay account and is controlled by you.
  3. When you create a MoonPay Wallet, a mnemonic phrase (aka a “seed phrase”) is created with random entropy on your device. This seed phrase is used to derive a cryptographic key pair. The resultant public/private key pair represents the MoonPay Wallet and ownership of the private key is evidence of your ownership of your MoonPay Wallet. The public key is visible to all participants of a blockchain’s network. This public/private key pair enables you to send and receive Cryptocurrencies on the relevant blockchain network. The private key is required to digitally sign transactions for any Cryptocurrency represented by the corresponding public key. MoonPay will not store your seed phrase or private key in its database. Instead, MoonPay utilises a dedicated and secure data centre from Amazon Web Services leveraging hardware security and proprietary technology to encrypt your seed phrase and automatically backup the encrypted wallet. 
  4. You as the user retain control of your MoonPay Wallet and private key at all times. MoonPay will never request your private key. MoonPay can not directly access your seed phrase or private key. Only the email or phone number associated with the MoonPay Account can access the materials needed to decrypt the encrypted backup. This encrypted backup is only ever decrypted on your local device and is never sent or stored anywhere on the MoonPay servers. You may choose to backup and export your mnemonic phrase at any time. You may also request that MoonPay delete any encrypted backup of your mnemonic phrase. Please note that if you do export your mnemonic phrase, you are solely responsible for the security of your MoonPay Wallet and MoonPay can not be liable for any lost or stolen data. If there is additional two-factor authentication enabled, you may be required to authenticate with a second OTP in order to access your encrypted wallet backup.
  5. Once authenticated you may initiate any wallet related transaction using the Services at any time. MoonPay does not sign messages on your behalf or control the MoonPay Wallet on your behalf. Once authenticated you, the user, can initiate any relevant blockchain transaction. MoonPay has no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity or accuracy of any transaction, though it may, at its sole discretion, inquire into or investigate such a transaction. You, the user, will be responsible for keeping your phone and/or email address secure and for any activity associated with your phone/email and your MoonPay Wallet. MoonPay will not be responsible if someone else accesses your phone/email and authorises a transaction upon receipt of an OTP. You should let MoonPay know immediately if your phone has been stolen and/or your phone or email has otherwise been compromised. 
  6. MoonPay has no ability to access your seed phrase or any other raw private key information. We cannot unilaterally initiate a transfer of Cryptocurrencies or otherwise access Cryptocurrencies in your MoonPay Wallet
  7. We are not your brokers, intermediaries, agents, advisors, or custodians, and we do not have a fiduciary relationship or obligation to you regarding any decisions in connection with a MoonPay Wallet or our Services. We are not responsible for any activities that you engage in when using your MoonPay Wallet, and you should understand the risks associated with Cryptocurrencies.
  8. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your private keys and your MoonPay Wallet. You acknowledge and agree, without prejudice to any other terms in this Agreement, that you bear all of the risk of any loss of access to your MoonPay Wallet and any Cryptocurrencies contained in it. MoonPay does not control and is not responsible for the Cryptocurrencies in your MoonPay Wallet. You are solely responsible for any Cryptocurrencies transferred to or from your MoonPay Wallet and we make no, and hereby disclaim all, representations, warranties, claims and assurances as to any such transactions. If you lose your keys to your MoonPay Wallet, you may lose access to your MoonPay Wallet and any Cryptocurrencies contained in it. MoonPay is not liable for fluctuations in the fiat currency value of Cryptocurrencies in your MoonPay Wallet.

8. Transmission delays 

8.1 MoonPay will use good faith efforts to fulfil Orders at the time that you place such Order, including the applicable fee and costs. However, from time to time, it may be necessary for MoonPay to delay fulfilment of an Order until such time as we are able to execute the Order. In such cases, we will notify you prior to the completion of your Order both:

8.1.1 the amount of Cryptocurrency  you will receive; and

8.1.2 the price at the time (including associated fees and costs).

8.2 MoonPay does not have any control over transaction times for the Cryptocurrency Network and there may be instances where transaction times may take longer than usual.  As such, you accept the risk that an Order facilitated by MoonPay may be delayed and you confirm that you will not hold MoonPay responsible for any losses, damages or injury arising out of or related to such delay.

9. Cancellations and refunds

9.1 Once you have placed an Order has been made it cannot be cancelled or recalled. 

9.2 All Orders are final and cannot be refunded. 

9.3 Once an Order has been sent to the Cryptocurrency Wallet it cannot be recalled or retrieved under any circumstances.

9.4 You hereby agree that upon delivery, you will not be entitled to any credit or refund and all purchases, sales, and swaps of Cryptocurrency are final. MoonPay's obligation towards you will be absolutely discharged upon delivery of the Cryptocurrency  to your Wallet or fiat funds to your bank account and you shall have no claim or right against MoonPay upon such delivery.

9.5 Please also note that Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible.  It is your sole responsibility to be vigilant of any fraud or mistake and to keep your private key safe.  MoonPay will not take responsibility to issue refunds, regardless of whether you were the victim of fraud, mistake or loss of private key.

10.3 MoonPay shall not be liable to you for any losses you may suffer as a result of any reasonable action it takes to suspend the Account or withhold settlement of a Cryptocurrency Order in accordance with this clause 10.

Notwithstanding the above, we may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to any or all of the MoonPay Services and/or deactivate or cancel your MoonPay Account, without reason by giving you one months’ notice. You acknowledge that our decision to take certain actions, including limiting access to, suspending, or closing your MoonPay Account, may be based on confidential criteria that are essential for the purposes of our risk management and security protocols. You agree that we are under no obligation to disclose the details of its risk management and security procedures to you. 

10.4 You will also be able to cancel your MoonPay Account, at any time and free of charge, and will only be required to pay for those Services used that are subject to charges.

You may not cancel your MoonPay Account to evade an investigation or avoid paying any amounts otherwise due to MoonPay.
