Moneda is a technical service provider and provides a non-custodial wallet interface for managing stablecoins and accessing third-party decentralised finance (”DeFi”) protocols for yield generation. The Services may offer you the ability to connect to an interface for managing digital assets such as but not limited to USD and EUR stablecoins (collectively “Assets”) and to a stablecoin earnings account, each powered by third-party services in accordance with the terms of the relevant provider.
Moneda does not provide regulated financial or custodial services. Moneda does not directly or indirectly manage, control, or hold User Assets, nor does it facilitate interaction with third-party custodial services. All Wallets and transactions, including interactions with DeFi protocols, are fully self-custodial, meaning Users have full control and responsibility with respect to their Assets and credentials. As a consequence, all transactions and interactions do not happen between you and Moneda but directly between you and the relevant blockchain network, without Moneda being able to control, modify or revert these interactions. Only you will hold the account authentication credentials, including but not limited to passkeys, cryptographic private keys, and recovery phrases (collectively ”Credentials”) and will be able to access your wallet. Please read the following terms carefully, i.e., the notices under Clause 4.2 and 12.
To use the Services, you must:
By accepting these Terms you represent that you fulfill and will fulfill all requirements listed above at all times during your use of the Services.
To access the Service, you must create an account. You are responsible for:
You must not allow any other person to use your Moneda account or Wallet, and you may not share access or control of your account/Wallet with others. Moneda employees will never ask you for your password, private keys, or other Credentials. You should never share such access information or approve unknown third-party access (for example, via screen sharing or installing untrusted software claiming to be an “investment tool”). Such requests are likely fraudulent. If you receive any request to reveal Credentials or to grant remote access to your device/account, notify Moneda immediately, as granting control to a bad actor may result in irreversible loss of Assets.
Due to the anonymous and irreversible nature of blockchain transactions, if you grant a third party access to your Moneda account or linked Wallets, you may irretrievably lose control of the Assets in those Wallets. Moneda is not liable for any losses resulting from unauthorized access to your account or Wallets, unless such access was directly caused by Moneda’s breach of its obligations.
Moneda operates as a self-custodial service. This means:
Certain features of the Service are subject to anti-money laundering (”AML”)and other regulations that require us to verify your identity via Know Your Customer (”KYC”) checks before offering those features. If you wish to access fiat-related services, such as converting between fiat currency and digital assets (fiat on-ramp or off-ramp) or obtaining a virtual account, you must complete our KYC process through our third-party identity verification provider, Sumsub. By initiating KYC, you agree to provide accurate and current personal information and any required documentation (e.g. government ID, proof of address, selfie) and you authorize Moneda and Sumsub to collect and process this information for identity verification and compliance purposes.
If you fail to complete KYC, or if we cannot successfully verify your identity to the standards required by us or our partners, you will not be granted access to the regulated features. In addition, providing false, misleading, or incomplete information during KYC is a violation of these Terms and may result in suspension or termination of your Moneda account. Moneda reserves the right to restrict or terminate your access to Services (in whole or in part) if identity verification is not completed satisfactorily, if we suspect fraud or illegal conduct, or as required to comply with our legal obligations (see also Section 13.2).
Moneda partners with Iron to offer certain integrated financial features (for example, virtual EUR/USD bank accounts and fiat conversion services) within the Moneda app. These features are provided directly by Iron (or its affiliated regulated financial institutions), not by Moneda. When you opt to use such a feature, you will be prompted to accept Iron’s Terms of Service, which will form a separate agreement between you and Iron governing those services. Upon successful KYC (see 4.3 above) and acceptance of Iron’s terms, Iron will create any required accounts (e.g. a virtual IBAN account) in your name and you will become a direct customer of Iron for the purposes of those fiat services.
Moneda’s role in this arrangement is limited to facilitating your interaction with Iron through our user interface and APIs. Moneda is not a party to your contract with Iron, and Moneda does not assume responsibility for Iron’s services or performance. Any virtual account, payment, or transaction provided via Iron is ultimately between you and Iron (and/or Iron’s affiliated regulated providers). Accordingly, Moneda is not responsible or liable for any acts or omissions of Iron, or for any obligations or liabilities arising from your use of Iron’s services.
Disputes or issues related to Iron’s services (including account errors, delayed transfers, etc.) should be directed to Iron and will be governed by Iron’s terms and policies. Using Iron’s services through Moneda does not change the legal obligations, jurisdiction, or protections that apply to your use of Moneda’s Services under these Terms. Moneda’s Terms (and German/EU law – see Section 19) continue to apply to your use of the Moneda app itself, while your separate agreement with Iron is governed by Iron’s terms (which may specify a different governing law for that agreement).
You are responsible for all activities that occur in connection with your use of the Service, regardless of whether the activities are authorized by you or undertaken by a third party (including contractors, agents, or other end users). Moneda and its affiliates are not responsible for unauthorized access to the Services, including any access resulting from phishing, fraud, or other criminal activities, unless such access was directly and solely caused by Moneda’s fault.
You must ensure that your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
You are responsible for securing your authentication credentials, devices, and account. Moneda is not liable for any loss resulting from unauthorized access to your account or failure to properly safeguard your Assets, unless the unauthorized access was directly and solely caused by Moneda’s fault.
Your own responsibility includes:
Moneda does not store or recover Credentials. If you lose this information, your access to the Service and your assets may be permanently compromised. Moneda is not liable for any loss resulting from your failure to secure your credentials or backup your information. In addition, Moneda assumes no liability for any damage or unauthorized access resulting from your failure to implement required updates or security measures, or from any third party gaining access to your device or Credentials.
You agree that you will not use the Services for any unlawful purpose, and you will provide all information and cooperation necessary for Moneda to comply with its legal obligations. This includes promptly completing any additional identity or background verification steps that we may reasonably request from time to time in order to meet our obligations under anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CTF), sanctions, or other laws. Failure to do so may result in restriction or termination of your access to the Services (see Section 13.2).
You agree not to use the Service if you:
Moneda reserves the right to terminate accounts or restrict access for users engaged in any of these prohibited uses.
Moneda does not provide any form of financial, investment, tax, technical or legal advice, nor does Moneda broker any trades or financial instruments to you or on your behalf. You should consult your legal, tax or other professional advisor in your jurisdiction regarding your specific situation. Moneda may provide educational information about supported Assets, as well as other digital currencies. Information may include, but is not limited to, blog posts, articles, links to third-party content, news feeds, tutorials, and videos. The information provided on this website, the Moneda app, or any third-party sites does not constitute investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice, and you should not rely on any such content nor treat any of the content as professional advice or a personal recommendation.
Moneda may charge fees for certain features or services. Any fees will be clearly disclosed in the App before use. All transactions involving fiat or cryptocurrencies (including stablecoins) are final and non-refundable.
The use of certain third-party services accessible through Moneda may also be subject to transaction fees or other fees charged by those third-party providers. Moneda reserves the right to charge additional fees for the facilitated access it provides to such third-party services ("Service Fees"). Service Fees may either be charged directly to you or included in the third-party fees and paid by the third party to Moneda on your behalf. All applicable fees will be disclosed prior to usage. Any changes to applicable fees charged by Moneda require your prior consent, which can be granted via the Moneda app. Please note that Blockchain transactions may be subject to additional fees which are directly deducted by the Network.
Moneda enables interaction with third-party decentralized applications relying on smart contracts (”dApps”), or services. Any interaction with dApps is directly authorized by yourself at your own responsibility and your own risk. By interacting with dApps you accept that Moneda is not responsible or liable to you for any:
Some third-party services may collect or process your personal data. The processing of such data will be handled in accordance with the relevant third-party provider’s privacy policy, local regulations, and best practices.
Users are solely responsible for assessing the security and reliability of third-party services and applications they choose to interact with through Moneda.
Moneda retains ownership of all intellectual property rights in the Services, including any future developments thereof. This includes, but is not limited to, rights in the underlying technology, designs, App interfaces, backend systems, source and object code, trademarks, trade names, logos, as well as the entire system infrastructure, and all associated intellectual property. All such components are protected by copyright, trademark law, design rights, and other intellectual property laws. Any use is only permitted within the scope of rights expressly granted.
Users may not reproduce, distribute, or modify Moneda’s intellectual property without prior written consent, except where such use is expressly permitted under open-source licenses or developer APIs designated by Moneda.
Moneda processes personal data in compliance with GDPR, relying on legal bases such as User’s consent, legitimate interest, contract performance, and compliance with legal obligations, as applicable and other relevant regulations. For details, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Certain transactions and interactions may be recorded on public blockchains. You acknowledge that blockchain data is immutable and beyond Moneda’s control.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." Except to the extent prohibited by law, or to the extent any statutory rights apply that cannot be excluded, limited, or waived, Moneda and its affiliates and licensors:
You acknowledge and agree that you have not relied and are not relying upon any representation or warranty from Moneda that is not expressly stated in these Terms or a separate written agreement, and you agree not to take a position inconsistent with this provision in any proceeding.
The Service relies on emerging technologies, such as blockchain and cryptographic systems, which carry inherent risks. By using the Service, you explicitly acknowledge and accept these risks, including:
Moneda does not operate or control blockchain protocols, smart contracts, or other third-party services. You agree that Moneda is not responsible for:
It is your responsibility to:
While Moneda may perform preliminary reviews of third-party applications or tokens integrated into the Service, such reviews are not comprehensive security audits or endorsements. Moneda disclaims any responsibility for verifying the safety, security, or legitimacy of third-party applications, services, or tokens. You expressly assume full responsibility for all risks associated with using the Service to interact with blockchain protocols and third-party offerings.
For paid features or subscriptions, the term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and remain in effect until terminated as provided below or by separate written agreement. For free features, this Agreement will remain in effect until you stop accessing or using the Service.
Termination by You: If you wish to terminate this Agreement, you may do so at any time by ceasing all use of the Services and, if applicable, by following Moneda’s account closure procedures (for example, by withdrawing any remaining Assets from your Wallets and contacting support to deactivate your account, if an account exists).
Termination or Suspension by Moneda (for Convenience): Moneda reserves the right to terminate the Services or your access to the Services for convenience with reasonable notice. If you are using only free features, we may terminate your access at any time by providing notice (e.g., via email or in-app notification) or by disabling the Services. If you are using a paid feature, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to give you at least 30 days’ prior notice of termination for convenience, when feasible.
Termination or Suspension by Moneda (for Cause): Moneda may immediately suspend or terminate your access (in whole or in part) without prior notice if we, in our sole discretion, determine that: (i) you have violated these Terms or engaged in any prohibited use or illegal activity; (ii) you have provided false, misleading, or incomplete information to us, including as part of any KYC/identity verification process; (iii) you fail to comply with any applicable legal requirements or we have reason to believe your use of the Services is no longer in compliance with law (for example, if you become a resident of a Restricted Territory or are placed on a sanctions list); or (iv) it becomes necessary to do so at the request of a regulatory authority or our third-party partners (for example, if a regulated partner like Iron instructs Moneda to suspend your access due to a violation of Iron’s terms or for compliance reasons).
Upon the termination date:
(i) all rights granted under these Terms will immediately terminate;
(ii) your access to the Services will terminate and any contractual relationship with third Parties, which you have entered as part of the Services, will be terminated, too;
(iii) each party remains responsible for fees and charges incurred through the termination date and any fees during a post-termination period as applicable;
(iv) the terms of this Agreement will survive termination as necessary to address disputes, enforce rights, and govern any post-termination use of the Service.
For any use of the Service after termination, these Terms will continue to apply, and if under a paid feature, applicable fees will be charged accordingly.
Please note that the Wallet, which you create as part of the Services, does not cease to exist upon termination and can still be accessed by compatible non-custodial tools or software, provided you retain your Credentials. Moneda does not warrant that your access to the Wallet will be technically possible via third-party tools and is not obliged to enable or support third-party access. To avoid any potential loss or delay in accessing your cryptocurrency, please make sure that you transfer all cryptocurrency amounts from your Wallet before any termination becomes effective. For the avoidance of doubt, any access to your Wallet requires your Credentials which Moneda can neither access nor restore in case of loss.
Moneda reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services if there is reasonable suspicion that you:
Moneda uses best efforts to operate in compliance with applicable laws in Germany and in the EU, including but not limited to the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Users are responsible for understanding and complying with their local laws when using the Services.
We may provide any notice to you under this Agreement by sending a message to the email address associated with your account.
To give us notice under this Agreement, you must contact us by email at legal@moneda.com.
You must not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms in whole or in part to any third party. You acknowledge and agree that Moneda may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms and, in such context, share or transfer information provided by you while using the Service to a third party. We will comply with statutory notification and consent requirements in case of a full transfer of this Agreement to a third party.
Failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver. All waivers must be in writing to be effective.
If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Invalid provisions will be interpreted to align with the intent of the original provision as closely as possible. If this is not feasible, the invalid portion will be severed, and the rest of the Terms will remain effective.
We may change or discontinue any part of the Service or modify functionality from time to time. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate any discontinuation of the Service through the website, app, or other public communication channels. If you are using a paid feature, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you at least 30 days in advance of such changes, and we will aim to support the feature for up to three months after discontinuation unless doing so would:
We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time. It is your responsibility to check these Terms periodically for updates. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate material changes through the website, app, email, or other public communication channels. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Amendments to these Terms and Conditions which impose (additional) payment obligations or have otherwise negative legal or commercial consequences to you will be made subject to your explicit consent, which can be granted by the Moneda app. If you do not consent to a proposed amendment, we reserve the right (i) to stop providing all or parts of our Services to you and/or (ii) to terminate the contract with you, if you have been advised on such consequences together with the proposed change.
We welcome feedback, comments, ideas, and suggestions for improvements to the Service (“Feedback”). You grant to us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license under any and all intellectual property rights that you own or control to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon, and otherwise exploit the Feedback for any purpose.
Neither party nor their respective affiliates will be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement where the delay or failure results from any cause beyond such party’s reasonable control, including but not limited to unexpected meteor showers, utilities or other telecommunications failures (e.g., by solar flares), cyber-attacks (whether or not backed by governments), earthquakes, storms or other elements of nature, pandemics, blockages, embargoes, riots, acts or orders of government, acts of terrorism, seizure of power by an authoritarian government, military coups, or acts of war. In the event such a force majeure circumstance materially affects the availability or performance of the Service, Moneda will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Users through public communication channels or registered email addresses as soon as practicable.
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CLAIMS RELATING TO A BREACH OF OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF MONEDA, INCLUDING ITS AFFILIATES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE FIRST INCIDENT OUT OF WHICH THE LIABILITY AROSE. IF NO FEES HAVE BEEN PAID, MONEDA’S LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED €5,000. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES TO BOTH CONTRACTUAL AND TORT CLAIMS AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.
IN NO EVENT SHALL MONEDA OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, OR DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, EVEN IF MONEDA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS EXCLUSION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE BASIS FOR LIABILITY AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
If you have your permanent residence in Germany, the this paragraph 18.3 shall apply instead of paragraphs 18.1 and 18.2:
Moneda shall be liable without limitation:
In the case of slightly negligent breaches of essential contractual obligations (cardinal duties), Moneda shall only be liable for typical, foreseeable damage. Cardinal duties are those contractual obligations the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper performance of the contract and on the compliance with which the customer may regularly rely.
In all other respects, Moneda’s liability is excluded.
The provisions of this paragraph 18.3 shall also apply to the extent that a competent court in your jurisdiction determines that paragraphs 18.1 and/or 18.2 is/are invalid in your jurisdiction.
For the avoidance of doubt, as a technical provider, Moneda does not control any cryptocurrencies, cryptographic keys or Credentials and has no control over any Networks and EMTs. Therefore, Moneda expressly excludes any responsibility or liability for any damages or losses resulting from:
In addition, any potential liability arising from a temporary non-availability of Moneda’s API is expressly excluded;
Thank you for choosing Moneda!
