The Service
Usecoins is a cryptocurrency payment processor and not a cryptocurrency exchange, or a platform to buy or sell cryptocurrencies. We enable you to accept cryptocurrency as payment for goods or services, and process cryptocurrency payments that you receive from your customers (Clients). Our Services are only available to individual, small and large businesses that sell products and offer Services. By using the Services, you authorize us to act as your representative to receive, hold and disburse funds on your behalf and to take any actions that we think are necessary to provide the Services and to comply with applicable laws. Payment by customers to Usecoins will be considered the same as payment made directly to you and will extinguish the customers outstanding obligation, to the extent of the payment. Usecoins retains all rights to the Service. The Service may continue to change from time to time as we refine, update and add more features and the changes will be communicated to you. We may stop, suspend, or modify the Service at any time without prior notice to you, in any circumstances we reasonably determine to be necessary, including but not limited to; i. To perform essential repairs/maintenance to the Service. ii. Where your use of the Service is in breach of your obligations under this agreement.
Your Relationship with Your Customers
You will only use the Services for legitimate Transactions with your customers (Clients). You know your customers better than we do, and you are responsible for your relationship with them. Usecoins is not responsible for the products or services you publicize or sell, or that your customers purchase using the Services. You affirm that you are solely responsible for the nature and quality of the products or services you provide and delivery to your customers.
Network Costs
Usecoins may incur a cost (“Network Cost”) to sweep an incoming cryptocurrency payment. These Network Costs are included in the invoice total and are paid by the customers (Purchaser). The Network Costs are not returned when a refund is executed.
Miner Fees
Cryptocurrency transactions may require a miner fee. These miner fees are automatically created by the Purchaser’s (client’s or customer’s) wallet and sent to the miner. These miner fees are not Usecoins fees. The miner fees paid to the Network are not returned when a refund is executed.
Taxes
Our fees are exclusive of any applicable Taxes, within your region. You are solely responsible for determining whether, and to what extent, any taxes apply to the sale of your products and services, or payments you receive in connection with your use of the Services, and for withholding, collecting, reporting and remitting the correct amounts of tax to the appropriate tax authorities.
Methods of Settlement
After we have verified the Purchaser’s (client’s or customer’s) payments over the cryptocurrency peer-to-peer payment network, we will update your Usecoins account balance, according to your preferred settlement method. Funds in your Usecoins account balance are temporarily held by Usecoins until payout is made to your bank account or external digital currency wallet. You can receive a payment settlement in your local currency, Ethereum (ETH), Binance coin (BNB), Maker Dao (DAI) or USDTether (USDT). You assume volatility risks of the currency in which you choose to receive settlements. For example, if you choose to settle in ETH or DAI, then you assume the volatility risk of the cryptocurrency value.
Payouts in Local Currencies
Where you have added a bank account as your preferred settlement method on your Usecoins Account, you may withdraw funds from your Usecoins Account to your bank account (“Payout”). Usecoins will process payouts automatically when your balance reaches NGN 2,000 or equivalent in cryptocurrency. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any Payout instructions provided to Usecoins, including the relevant bank account number are complete and correct and you accept and agree that under no circumstances will Usecoins be under any obligation to reverse or amend any Payouts.
