Terms of usage
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern the relationship between you (the “End User”, “you”) and Onramper technologies B.V., (“Onramper”, “we”, “us”, “our”) by setting out the terms and conditions on which Onramper provides Services to End Users through its websites, widgets and/or APIs.
For specific (third party) products and third party terms: these Terms may include for certain products additional terms and conditions (including terms and conditions of third parties). Please check Clause 9 et seq. for further information.
1. Applicability and eligibility
1.1 Upon using the website or Services, these Terms are accepted by the user either by virtue of using the Services provided by Onramper or by explicitly agreeing to these Terms before making use of the Services provided by Onramper. For the avoidance of doubt, by using our Services and agreeing to these Terms and our Privacy Policy, you provide informed consent for the necessary sharing of your data with selected Fiat Gateways in order to complete your transaction. Additional or repeated consent will not be requested at each instance of data sharing, unless legally required
1.2 To be eligible for any of the Services provided by Onramper, you must be at least 18 years old, have the capacity to enter into legally binding contracts and reside in a country in which the relevant Services are accessible.
2. Services
2.1 The “Services” provided by Onramper exist solely out of allowing End-Users to access the website, widget and API built by Onramper, through which End-Users can interact and transact with various third parties that offer fiat-to-cryptocurrency conversion services (“Fiat Gateways”).
2.2 Onramper is solely a provider of technical infrastructure allowing supply and demand for fiat-to-crypto conversion services to find each other and does not sell cryptocurrencies, does not convert fiat currencies into cryptocurrencies and never acts as a Fiat Gateway itself in any way whatsoever. Onramper is not party to any transactions which may occur between End-Users and third-party Fiat Gateways, and Onramper does not take custody of End-User funds at any stage.
2.3 Onramper does not and cannot provide customer support of any kind for transactions between End-Users and Fiat Gateways, including, but not limited to, customer support regarding identification procedures and transaction monitoring (Know-Your-Customer and Anti-Money-Laundering procedures), cancellations, refunds and transaction limits. Any contractual agreements, terms, and conditions applicable to transactions between End-Users and third-party Fiat Gateways are governed by the relevant agreement(s) in place between End-Users and third-party Fiat Gateways.
2.4 In order to provide and optimize our Services, we process a limited amount of user data, as governed by Onramper’s privacy policy. All other personal data, which is inputted by users and processed in relation to transactions between End-Users and third-party Fiat Gateways, is governed by the privacy policies of such Fiat Gateways, which policies are to be accepted by the End-User upon making such transactions, together with the terms and conditions from those Fiat Gateways.
2.5 Onramper does not facilitate transactions. Rather, Onramper provides technical infrastructure that enables End Users to access various third-party Fiat Gateways. End Users independently initiate and complete any transactions through those third-party platforms. This distinction is fundamental: Onramper is not involved in the formation, execution, or settlement of any such transactions.

9. Product specific terms
9.1 Crypto swaps
9.1.1 Third party services: Onramper does not execute cryptocurrency swaps. The swap of USDC into any other cryptocurrency (including so-called "memecoins") is executed by third-party service providers (such as MoonGate) via decentralized exchanges. Onramper’s role is limited to providing technical infrastructure to facilitate access to third-party services.
9.1.2 Third party terms: By using the swap functionality, you acknowledge and agree that Onramper is not a party to the swap transaction, and that the terms and conditions of such third-party providers apply in addition to these Terms. By initiating a swap and/or using their services, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of MoonGate and any other third-party service provider involved in the transaction. You are responsible for obtaining and reviewing the relevant terms prior to using their services.
9.1.3 Quotes, prices and slippage: Any price or quote displayed to you prior to initiating a swap is indicative only and does not constitute a guarantee of execution at that price, or even a guarantee of full execution.
Due to market volatility and/or delays in receiving USDC, the final execution price may differ. A maximum slippage and priority fee threshold applies. In case of a failed swap, which can, but is not limited to situations where at the time of execution, the slippage exceeds the slippage threshold, the swap will not be executed. In case a onramp transaction was completed, you will receive the SOL or USDC you bought to initiate the swap in your wallet. (see Clause 13.1.4).
9.1.4 Refunds and Fees: If a swap is not executed due to excessive slippage, technical failure, or blockchain-related issues, your SOL or USDC will be refunded. In such cases, you acknowledge and agree that any fees already charged for the initial onramp transaction and refund are non-refundable. Onramper does not refund fees charged by third-party providers under any circumstances.
9.1.5 Risks: Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile, and you may lose part or all of your funds as a result of price movements. Blockchain transactions are irreversible and may fail, be delayed, or become more costly due to network congestion, technical failures or other factors outside Onramper’s control. You bear all risks related to the timing, execution and outcome of swap transactions and no guarantee is provided that the transaction is fully executed.
10. AI and machine learning
10.1 You acknowledge and agree that Onramper may employ artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), automated decision-making and algorithmic systems in the provision, improvement, optimization, routing, fraud detection, and risk-assessment of its Services. These systems may analyze data about your usage, transactions, device, geographic location, success rates, and other relevant parameters to determine, among other things, the optimal fiat-to-crypto conversion path, applicable fees, potential fraud or risk, and eligibility for certain payment or onramp methods.
10.2 While we strive for fairness, accuracy and transparency, these AI / ML systems may occasionally make errors or misclassify information, which could result in unintended outcomes (including delays, failed transactions, or ineligibility for certain onramps). You agree that Onramper will not be liable for such errors except where caused by negligence or willful misconduct. Partner remains solely responsible for (human-in-the-loop) reviewing, validating and approving any such outputs generated through AI or ML prior to reliance or use in financial statements, reporting, compliance or decision-making.
10.3 If any applicable law requires disclosure of the logic involved in automated decision-making materially affecting you, or grants you rights to human review, correction, or objection, then these rights will apply in accordance with the law.
10.4 To the extent applicable, you consent that Onramper may use your data (including usage data, transactional data, device data) for purposes of training, improving, or refining its AI/ML models, subject to the privacy practices outlined in our Privacy Policy.
10.5 Onramper collects and processes various data (excluding personal data) in respect of or provided by the End-User (and its use of the Services) to render, improve and provide the Services (including customer service and customer support) and may use and utilize such data (including usage and log data) for machine learning, artificial/business intelligence, research, (data) security/breaches, benchmarking, fraud investigation, investigations, analytical and other internal purposes.
