- Services and Features
- Our services offer you the following "Services": the ability to exchange one type of cryptocurrency asset (hereinafter referred to as "crypto assets") for another and access to a decentralized token exchange and trading platform.
- For the purposes of this agreement, "Exchange" means the exchange of one type of crypto asset for another on terms agreed upon by the parties involved, conducted through a third-party exchange service within the respective blockchain network. When you exchange crypto assets, you acknowledge and agree that the exchange will be conducted through a third-party exchange service with additional fees applicable to such exchange. You acknowledge and agree that the exchange rate information provided through the Services is solely indicative and may differ from prevailing rates available from other sources outside of our Services.
- The term "Crypto Assets" in this document is understood to refer to types of assets that can only be transferred exclusively through blockchain technology, including but not limited to digital coins and digital tokens, as well as any other types of digital exchange assets, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and others, with the full and absolute exclusion of any form of securities.
- The term "Trading Platform" in this document refers to an online platform for digital aggregation for fiat providers with the ability to compare current rates and limits for the purchase or sale of crypto assets.
- In order to access all the features and functionality of our Services, you must complete the registration process and create an Obmenkin account. An "Obmenkin account" is a client account accessible after the registration process and through the Services, where the client can request the exchange of crypto assets. When creating an Obmenkin account, you agree to:

- The "Floating Exchange Rate" option in this document refers to the default exchange rate mode in which our platform does not guarantee a fixed rate, as it fluctuates in accordance with the market. You acknowledge and agree that the exchange rate information provided through the Services for the floating exchange rate option is solely indicative and may differ from actual rates available from other sources outside of our Services. Obmenkin cannot guarantee the execution of a transaction with a floating exchange rate in certain cases, including but not limited to the following cases:
- The client sent crypto assets to a previously used disposable address that was generated for a transaction with a floating or fixed exchange rate;
- The client sent crypto assets to an Obmenkin floating exchange rate address more than 1 hour after the address was provided. Obmenkin addresses for floating rate exchanges cannot be used after 1 hour;
- To prevent significant losses for the client due to rate changes, in the event of a significant discrepancy between the calculated exchange rate available on the Website and the rate obtained from a third-party exchange, a transaction with a floating exchange rate may be automatically declined.
- When using the "Fixed Exchange Rate" option, your rate is "locked" and remains unchanged regardless of market fluctuations. You acknowledge and agree that for the fixed exchange rate option, the exchange rate information available on the Website may differ from exchange rates for the floating exchange rate option. Obmenkin cannot guarantee the execution of transactions with a fixed exchange rate in certain cases, including but not limited to the following cases:
- The client sent crypto assets more than 15 minutes (20 minutes in the case of BTC, XMR, LTC, DCR, EOS, GAS, BNB, VET) after clicking the "Exchange Now" button when exchanging at a fixed rate;
- The client sent an amount of crypto assets different from the amount displayed on the Website that should be sent;
- The client sent crypto assets to a previously used disposable address that was generated for a transaction with a fixed or floating exchange rate.
- To perform an Exchange using our Services, our system will automatically generate a specific address for the initiated transaction, containing the following information:
- Information about the crypto asset the client wants to exchange and the crypto asset the client wants to receive;
- Recipient address provided by the client (the address to which crypto assets will be sent after the exchange).
- Technical issues arising from your misuse of our services, such as creating incorrect transactions (inputting the wrong address both as the recipient address and when sending your crypto assets to us), and other types of client errors, can be resolved by our technical department with limitations. After successfully resolving the technical issue, incorrectly sent crypto assets will be returned to the client, minus all applicable fees.
- Obmenkin technical department can only return BTC from a BTC Segwit address. No other crypto assets, including but not limited to LTC, BSV, BCH, sent to a BTC Segwit address, are eligible for a refund;
- No crypto assets sent to us via an unsupported and/or non-recommended network (e.g., the BSC network) are eligible for a refund. Recommended networks will be displayed to you during the transaction process.
- You acknowledge and agree that any reimbursement may incur operational expenses for allocated resources required to resolve client issues arising from the misuse of our services. Obmenkin has the right to reimburse its operational expenses for services when issuing any refund. In this case, crypto assets will be returned to the client, minus operational expenses and network fees, only with the client prior consent.
- YOU RELEASE OBMENKIN FROM ANY AND ALL DIRECT, INDIRECT, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF USE, LOST PROFITS, OR LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER ARISING FROM A CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPROPER ADDRESS USAGE, IMPROPERLY CONSTRUCTED TRANSACTIONS, AND SO FORTH.
- In limited cases, such as the need to conduct AML/KYC procedures, your exchange may be delayed. BY THIS, YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT DELAYS ARE POSSIBLE; YOU RELEASE US FROM LIABILITY AND DISCLAIM ANY CLAIMS, DAMAGES, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF USE, LOST PROFITS, OR LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER ARISING FROM A CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE EXCHANGE DELAY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT OCCURRED DUE TO OUR FAULT OR NOT.
- OBMENKIN is neither the creator nor the administrator of any fiat provider on the trading platform. Therefore, OBMENKIN is not responsible for the provision, establishment, or control of fees applicable to any services or products you encounter and use through our Trading Platform. It simply acts as an aggregator for various fiat money providers, integrating the APIs of these providers. All opportunities and services related to fiat currency trading are conducted in accordance with the policy and terms of use of the specified fiat money provider and fall under their jurisdiction.
- Fees
- Obmenkin maintains transparency in its fee policy. The current fee structure is two-tiered and consists of exchange and network fees.
- Exchange fee is the amount charged by Obmenkin for processing transactions initiated by clients. The exchange fee structure depends on the type of transaction: floating exchange rate or fixed rate. For transactions with a floating exchange rate, a fee ranging from 0.05% to 3% of the withdrawal amount is charged (it may differ for transactions executed through our API partners). Similarly, for fixed-rate transactions, Obmenkin finds the best rate available on the market and sets it for the conversion under consideration, displaying the corresponding rate to the client, thus ensuring the protection of client funds from market fluctuations during the exchange.
- Network fee is paid to cryptocurrency miners for processing transactions on the network and is used to facilitate the withdrawal of funds from exchanges. Obmenkin collects and transfers these payments to the relevant exchanges, which set the fee amount at any given time. When creating a transaction, the client sees the amount deducted from the transaction, the size of which is based on data from the exchanges themselves. You acknowledge and agree that the final amount of the network fee may sometimes differ. This occurs solely due to the unstable nature of network fees prevalent on exchanges and is in no way dependent on our platform.
- AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer)
- In addition to section 2.5.5, Obmenkin reserves the right to apply AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures to specific clients, addresses, and individual cryptocurrency transactions.
- Up-to-date information on AML/KYC procedures can always be found on the AML/KYC

Despite the aforementioned cases, if the market situation allows us to execute the exchange, the transaction will be manually processed at a new rate. If the market situation is such that the transaction can no longer be executed, or if the rate has significantly changed and the client requests a refund, the crypto assets the client wishes to exchange will be returned, if possible, minus all applicable fees. Refunds typically take 1 to 7 business days (depending on the reason for the failure) after the client confirms their refund address.
Despite the aforementioned cases, if the market situation allows us to execute the exchange, the transaction will be manually processed at the rate confirmed by the client at the beginning of the exchange. If the market situation is such that the transaction can no longer be executed, the crypto assets the client wishes to exchange will be returned, if possible, minus all applicable fees (applicable only to cases 2.7.1 and 2.7.2). Obmenkin may return crypto assets upon the client request. Crypto assets will be sent manually from the exchange market we work with, minus all applicable fees. In such a case, the refund process typically takes up to 20 business days (applicable only to case 2.7.3).
The client understands that the crypto assets to be exchanged are only transferred to the specific address provided by the system. The address is active only for one transaction, specifically the one indicated by the system.
