Please read these terms of service (“Terms”) carefully before using our service. Access to any part of the Site or use of any CHANGE LEMON service means that you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms or any of its paragraphs, you must immediately stop using any CHANGE LEMON services.

Section 1

1.1. These Terms and Conditions constitute a legal agreement between us ("CHANGE LEMON", "We", "Us", "Our") and the users, customers, visitors and others (without limitation) who access the Service (defined below) ("User", "You", "Your").

1.2. CHANGE LEMON service ("Service") refers to the services offered to you by CHANGE LEMON that are available through the CHANGE LEMON.com website ("Website"), widgets and mobile applications.

1.3. CHANGE LEMON offers cryptocurrency exchanges ("Exchange") on the basis of an order ("Order"), created by a user in the Service.

1.4. One of the parameters of the Order is the type of exchange rate: fixed ("Fixed rate") or float("Float rate") type of exchange rate.Fixed rate means that the exchange rate is fixed: the user receives the exact amount that was displayed when creating the Exchange. Floating rate means changing the exchange rate depending on market conditions. The exchange rate is finalized when the user's transaction receives the required number of confirmations on the blockchain.

1.5. The headings used in this agreement are included for convenience and do not limit or affect these Terms and Conditions.

1.6. If the user does not read and accept the Terms of Service, the user must not use or continue to use the Service.

Section 2

2.1. You represent that you are a natural person, legal entity or other organization with full capacity for civil rights and civil activities when using the Service. By accepting these Terms, you represent that you are of majority age in your state or province of residence or you have consent from your legal representative or guardian to use the Service.

2.2. You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any part of the Service, use of the Service or access to the Service or any contact on the Site through which the Service is provided without written permission from us.

2.3. To execute an Exchange, the user must create an Order with a choice of destination, amount, type of exchange rate and an indication of the address to which the funds are to be sent during the Exchange and send the funds to a specially generated address (or a combination of address and MEMO/Destination tag) on the Order page.

2.4. Only one transaction is allowed per Order.

2.5. You acknowledge and agree that CHANGE LEMON will honor the Exchange and send the exact amount that was displayed on the Order page when the Order was created if the following conditions are met:

You have sent funds and the transaction has hit the mempool or blockchain block within 10 minutes of creating the Order.

You sent the exact amount that was displayed on the Order page, not including networks and withdrawal fees.

The market rate from the creation of the Order to the appearance of the transaction in the blockchain mempool did not change by more than 1.2%.

Otherwise, it will not be possible to fulfill the order with sending the exact amount that was displayed on the created order page before payment. You will be able to choose on the Order page: to continue the order at the current market fixed rate at the time of selection (when possible) or to make a refund minus network and withdrawal fees.

2.6. You acknowledge and agree that the exchange rates for the Float rate type change over time. The service and network fees for consolidating an incoming transaction, as well as for sending the transaction, are already included in the final displayed rate. The exchange rate is finalized within 10 minutes after your transaction has received the required number of confirmations on the blockchain.

2.7. If the user's transaction has not arrived at the Service address after 30 minutes for an Order with the rate type Float and after 10 minutes for an Order with the rate type Fixed, the Order automatically goes to the status “Order Expired”. If the funds arrive before 24 hours after the creation of the Order, the user's transaction is automatically displayed in the Order. The user can choose on the Order page: to continue the Order at the current market rate or to make a refund minus the network and withdrawal fees.

2.8. Sending a transaction for an Order after 24 hours after creating the Order is a violation of the exchange rules.

2.9. The minimum and maximum allowed amounts for the Exchange are always displayed on the main page of the site in the “Send” and “Receive” fields. Sending a transaction for an Order, the amount of which is less than the minimum limit, is prohibited and is a violation of the Exchange rules.
When sending a transaction for an Order, the amount of which exceeds the maximum limit of the Service, a form will be available on the Order page to automatically refund a part of the amount exceeding the original amount of the created Order, and the other part of the amount will be exchanged.

2.10. When creating an Order, the user is fully responsible for the correctness of the selected direction of the Exchange, the specified receiving address, the type of exchange rate and the amount, as well as for knowing the peculiarities of the selected currencies and networks. CHANGE LEMON will not respond if the transaction was sent to incorrectly specified data when creating the Order. In order to ensure the correctness of the selected destination and the data entered when creating the Order, the user may specify his/her e-mail address to receive notifications on the status of the Order, containing all information about the Order, before the direct payment of the Order.

2.11. Automatic returns via the form on the Order page to the addresses of the Service, including the addresses of other Orders, are prohibited and are a violation of the exchange rules.

2.12. You acknowledge and agree that you shall send funds in a single transaction for the created Order in the same currency and blockchain as selected when creating the Order.

2.13. Sending funds in a currency and/or blockchain other than the one specified in the Order is a violation of the exchange rules.

2.15. Suspending a user's Order to change the receiving address or refund the funds sent by the user for the Order is only possible if, when creating the Order, the user provided his/her e-mail address to receive notifications on the status of the Order or if the user created the exchange from his/her registered account. The user must send an e-mail from his/her e-mail address with information about the requested changes. Deadline for reviewing the request is 24 hours after the user's request is registered.

2.16. Sending funds after 24 hours after creating an Order is a violation of exchange rules.

2.18. Sending funds for an Order in more than one transaction is a violation of the exchange rules.

2.19. Sending transactions to CHANGE LEMON addresses via third-party smart contracts is prohibited and is an exchange violation unless authorized on the Order page.

2.20. The possibility of exchange or refund in case of violation of exchange rules is described in Section 4.

2.21. The Order is available via a URL link containing the Order ID and the data on the receiving address entered when creating the Order. If the link to the Order or the Order ID is lost, the user can contact technical support to search for the Order. In this case, the user must provide full data about their Order, namely: the direction of the Exchange, the transaction that sent the funds to the Service address; the receiving address that the user entered when creating the Order. If all the necessary information is not provided, the search for the Order will be rejected.

2.22. If the user has created an Order and submitted a transaction in accordance with the Terms of Service, but CHANGE LEMON cannot fulfill the Exchange or refund due to its technical reasons, the user is offered a solution based on the technical capabilities at the time of the request, which takes no more than 24 hours to fulfill.

2.23. If the user has created an Order and submitted the transaction in accordance with the Terms of Service, but in the process of processing the Order there were unforeseen and independent of CHANGE LEMON factors that led to non-fulfillment of the Order, the time of fulfillment of the Order in this case is not regulated and depends only on the elimination of the relevant factors.

Section 4

Violation of the exchange rules makes automatic processing and fulfillment of the Order impossible. For each case of violation of the exchange rules, the User must contact the technical support on the website and register a request for manual processing by technical specialists.

4.1. Dispatch of funds after 24 hours from the moment of Order creation

If funds are sent for an Order after 24 hours after the creation of the Order, the transaction will be attached to the Order within 24 hours after the User's request is registered. The User will be able to choose whether to continue the order at the market rate at the time of attaching the transaction or to make a refund.

4.2. Sending two or more transactions for one Order

Only one transaction is processed for a single Order, and double payment for an Order is prohibited. If two or more transactions arrive at the Order address, the Order is still processed with only the first transaction. Exchange of funds for other transactions at the current market exchange rate at the time of manual processing of the Order or refund minus network commission is made within 24 hours after the User's request is registered.

4.3. Attempt of double exchange

If the User specified the address of the Service from another Order when creating an Order or when automatically refunding funds, the User must provide his/her address when contacting technical support in order to receive funds for exchange or refund. The funds will be sent to the User's address within 24 hours after the User's request is registered. The total amount to be sent will be recalculated taking into account additional expenses of the Service for the commission of the miner for sending the transaction and consolidation of funds.

4.4. Sending or returning funds by the User to the address of our Service

If the User sent funds or the Service returned funds to the address CHANGE LEMON, from which they were sent earlier, he must notify technical support about the transaction, as a result of which the funds were sent, and his address for the return of funds. Technical Support has the right to demand proof that this transaction was sent on behalf of the User, if it is not obvious. Sending the refund to the User's address shall be done within fourteen (14) days after providing all evidence that the transaction was sent or initiated by the User.

4.7.1. If, for an Order, the currency was sent to the Service's address on a network other than the one selected when creating the Order, and that network is supported by the Service, the request will be processed within seven (7) days after the request is registered. The User may choose to continue the Order at the rate at the time the transaction was attached or make a refund.

4.7.2. If for an Order the currency was sent to the Service address on a network other than the one selected when creating the Order and this network is NOT supported by the Service, the request will be processed within thirty (30) days after the registration of the request. The User may only request a refund if the amount sent is equivalent to more than twenty (20) USD. The fee for recovery and refund depends on the complexity of the recovery work and is set individually for each case, but cannot be less than ten (10) USD. CHANGE LEMON has the right to refuse to refund these funds without explanation.

Sending funds for the Order as a transaction with incorrect parameters.

If the transaction was sent without specifying the required parameter, the User must inform the technical support service about it, as well as provide evidence that this transaction was sent directly or initiated by the User. The fee for funds recovery and refund is 10% of the amount, but cannot be less than ten (10) US dollars. The time period for reviewing the request is 14 days after all evidence has been provided.
