Terms of Service
Last Updated: March 11, 2025
1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using BIT2XMR ("we," "our," or "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use our service.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and BIT2XMR. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.
2. Service Description
BIT2XMR is a cryptocurrency swap service that facilitates peer-to-peer exchanges between Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR). Our service:
- Provides a platform for users to exchange Bitcoin for Monero
- Generates unique Bitcoin deposit addresses for each swap transaction
- Locks exchange rates at the time of swap confirmation
- Automatically processes swaps after Bitcoin blockchain confirmations
- Deletes all transaction records within two hours of swap completion
We do not hold, custody, or control your funds beyond what is necessary to facilitate the swap. We are not a wallet service, exchange, or financial institution.
3. Eligibility and Use Restrictions
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements in your jurisdiction to use our service. You represent and warrant that:
- You are of legal age in your jurisdiction
- You are not located in a jurisdiction where cryptocurrency services are prohibited
- You will comply with all applicable laws and regulations
- You will not use our service for illegal purposes
Prohibited Uses
You agree NOT to use our service to:
- Violate any applicable laws or regulations
- Engage in money laundering, terrorist financing, or other illegal activities
- Evade taxes or other financial obligations
- Facilitate fraud, scams, or other criminal activities
- Interfere with or disrupt the service or servers
- Attempt to reverse engineer or compromise the security of the platform
- Use automated systems to abuse or exploit the service
4. User Responsibilities
You are solely responsible for:
- Verifying Addresses: Double-checking all Bitcoin deposit addresses and Monero receiving addresses before sending funds. We cannot recover funds sent to incorrect addresses.
- Verifying Amounts: Ensuring the exact amount of Bitcoin sent matches the amount specified in your swap. Sending incorrect amounts may result in swap failure.
- Using Your Own Wallet: Sending Bitcoin from a wallet you control. We strongly recommend against sending directly from exchanges, as this may cause delays or failures.
- Securing Your Information: Protecting your Order ID and transaction details. Once deleted (after two hours), this information cannot be recovered.
- Compliance with Laws: Ensuring your use of our service complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and tax obligations in your jurisdiction.
- Transaction Fees: Paying any network fees required for Bitcoin transactions. These fees are separate from our service fee.
5. Fees and Exchange Rates
Service Fee
BIT2XMR charges a 0.5% transaction fee on each swap. This fee is deducted from the Monero amount you receive. The fee is transparent and clearly displayed before you confirm your swap. There are no hidden fees.
Exchange Rates
Exchange rates are based on real-time market prices from reputable sources and are updated every 30 minutes. The rate is locked when you confirm your swap, protecting you from price fluctuations during Bitcoin confirmation times. You will see the exact amount of Monero you will receive before confirming.
Network Fees
Bitcoin network fees are separate from our service fee and are determined by the Bitcoin network based on transaction size and network congestion. You are responsible for paying these fees when sending Bitcoin. Monero network fees are included in the amount you receive.
6. Transaction Process and Timing
When you initiate a swap:
- You provide the amount of Bitcoin to swap and your Monero receiving address
- You review and confirm the exchange rate and fees
- You receive a unique Bitcoin deposit address
- You send Bitcoin to the deposit address (the rate is locked at confirmation)
- We wait for Bitcoin blockchain confirmations (typically 1-3 confirmations)
- Once confirmed, we automatically send Monero to your specified address
- All records are deleted within two hours of completion
Most swaps complete within 10-15 minutes after Bitcoin confirmation, depending on network conditions. Bitcoin confirmations typically take 10-30 minutes, depending on network congestion and the fee you paid.
Important: Once you send Bitcoin and the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, the swap cannot be canceled or reversed. Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Always verify all details before sending funds.
7. No Warranties and Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
- Warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement
- Warranties that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
- Warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or availability of exchange rates
- Warranties that transactions will complete within any specific timeframe
- Warranties regarding the value, stability, or performance of Bitcoin or Monero
We do not guarantee that the service will meet your requirements or that any errors will be corrected. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the service at any time without notice.
8. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BIT2XMR, ITS OPERATORS, AFFILIATES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR:

- Losses resulting from blockchain network issues, delays, or failures

Our total liability for any claims arising from or related to the service shall not exceed the amount of fees we received from your specific transaction, or $100 USD, whichever is less.
