Description of Services
Moniass offers a suite of digital services designed to enhance security, transparency, and accessibility in cryptocurrency trading and community engagement. These services include:
a. P2P Crypto Trading
Moniass facilitates peer-to-peer digital asset trading between verified users through an auction-style marketplace.
Users can:
- Buy or sell supported cryptocurrencies directly with each other.
- Set and negotiate exchange rates transparently.
- Conduct trades backed by Moniass’ escrow protection to ensure fair and secure settlements.
Disclaimer: Moniass does not act as a counterparty or guarantee the success of any trade. All trades are executed between users at their sole discretion and risk.
b. Escrow Protection
During every transaction, Moniass temporarily holds digital assets in escrow until both parties confirm completion of agreed terms. Funds will only be released when both the buyer and seller verify that conditions have been met.
If disputes arise, Moniass’ internal dispute resolution mechanism will apply, and our team will mediate based on transaction records and proof submitted by both parties.
c. Airdrop Tracking and Management
Moniass provides tools that allow users to:
- Discover and track ongoing and upcoming crypto airdrops.
- Mark tasks as “Done” or “Pending,” set reminders, and receive deadline notifications.
- Participate in user-generated airdrops and promotional campaigns, subject to content moderation.
Users are responsible for verifying the legitimacy of any third-party airdrops. Moniass shall not be liable for losses arising from participation in external promotions.
d. Community Engagement and Rewards
Moniass integrates community and gamification features that include:
- Leaderboards, badges, and task-based rewards;
- Referral programs allowing users to earn bonuses from verified sign-ups;
- Follow and Engage tools for interacting with other users and influencers
- All rewards are discretionary and subject to change based on platform policies.
e. Supported Assets and Fees
Moniass supports a variety of digital currencies and tokens, as listed on the Platform. Applicable gas fees and trading commissions will be transparently displayed before any transaction is initiated.
f. Security and Compliance
Moniass employs:
- End-to-end encryption for all transactions;
- Real-time monitoring and AI-based fraud detection;
- Compliance with CBN and NDPA security standards.
Despite these measures, users acknowledge that cryptocurrency transactions carry inherent risks, and Moniass cannot guarantee complete immunity from cyber threats or third-party failures.
User Responsibilities
By using the Moniass Platform, you agree to act responsibly, lawfully, and in good faith. You warrant that all information you provide during registration, verification, and throughout your use of the Platform is true, accurate, and complete to the best of your knowledge. You further agree to promptly update such information if it changes.
You shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and directives in force within the Federal Republic of Nigeria, including those relating to anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, financial sanctions, data protection, and digital asset trading. You must not use the Platform for any unlawful purpose, including but not limited to fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, or deceptive trading activities.
You acknowledge and accept full responsibility for all actions conducted through your account. Moniass shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these obligations or to secure your login credentials and devices.
You further recognize that digital asset markets are highly volatile. Prices may fluctuate significantly and without prior notice, and the value of crypto assets may decrease or become worthless. By engaging in transactions through the Platform, you accept these market risks and agree that Moniass shall not be held responsible for any financial loss resulting from market movements, liquidity shortages, or third-party actions.
Escrow and Transactions
The Moniass escrow and transaction system is designed to facilitate real-time, secure, and transparent peer-to-peer (P2P) trading through an auction-style matching process. When a buyer and seller are matched, the seller’s digital assets are automatically transferred into a secure escrow wallet managed by Moniass.
Transactions on the Moniass Platform occur in real time and are executed automatically once both sides meet the trade conditions. There is no chat-based negotiation or manual confirmation process. Upon successful verification of payment or fulfillment of exchange conditions, the escrowed assets are instantly released to the buyer’s designated wallet.
In the event that a transaction fails or cannot be completed due to network issues, incorrect payment details, or other technical reasons, the digital assets held in escrow shall be immediately returned to the initiating user’s account after system verification.
Moniass continuously monitors transactions to prevent fraud and ensure fairness. However, users acknowledge that the escrow mechanism serves primarily as a technical safeguard and does not constitute a financial guarantee or insurance against all trading risks.
Transaction-related fees, including escrow handling charges, network (gas) fees, or service commissions, will be transparently displayed before trade execution. Moniass reserves the right to adjust its fee schedule, with notice provided on the Platform.
You understand and agree that Moniass functions solely as a facilitator and intermediary, providing the infrastructure for P2P trading. Moniass shall not be held liable for losses arising from user error, market fluctuations, or transactions conducted outside the Platform.
Airdrops and Community Programs
Moniass provides a platform for tracking, managing, and participating in cryptocurrency airdrops and community-based reward programs. Users may view ongoing campaigns, track progress, and complete required tasks. Certain campaigns may be organized directly by Moniass, while others may originate from external projects or user-generated listings.
Participation in airdrops is voluntary. Moniass does not endorse or guarantee the authenticity, profitability, or continuity of any third-party campaign. Users are advised to conduct independent due diligence before participating in or sharing personal information with any external project.
Rewards earned through Moniass-hosted programs are subject to eligibility criteria, completion verification, and system validation. Distribution timelines and reward quantities are at the sole discretion of Moniass and may vary based on campaign rules and platform policy.
Users who create or share airdrop campaigns are fully responsible for the accuracy and legality of their listings. Misleading information, spam content, or fraudulent campaigns are strictly prohibited. Moniass reserves the right to remove any content or suspend accounts that violate these provisions without prior notice.
Community features such as leaderboards, referrals, and engagement rewards are intended to encourage participation and transparency. However, these benefits are not guaranteed and may be altered, suspended, or discontinued at any time without liability to users.
Fees and Payment Terms
Moniass operates on a transparent and fair fee model. Applicable charges, including but not limited to trading fees, escrow handling fees, withdrawal fees, or promotional participation fees, shall be clearly communicated to users prior to the initiation of any transaction. All fees are automatically deducted from the user’s wallet or escrow balance at the point of transaction execution.
Payments and settlements on the Moniass Platform may be conducted in supported digital assets, stablecoins, or fiat currencies. The list of supported assets and currencies will be displayed on the Moniass interface and updated periodically.
For fiat operations, Moniass may partner with licensed payment processors, banks, or fintech providers to facilitate deposits and withdrawals in compliance with applicable Nigerian financial and anti-money laundering regulations. Fiat deposits are credited to the user’s account balance in real time, while withdrawals are processed to the user’s verified bank account subject to network or banking timelines.
All transactions are final upon confirmation. Due to the irreversible nature of blockchain and certain fiat settlements, Moniass cannot reverse or refund completed transactions except in cases of verified system error, processing failure, or fraud as determined solely by Moniass. Refunds, where applicable, shall be made in the same currency or equivalent asset after internal verification and may be subject to applicable fees.
Moniass reserves the right to modify its fee schedule, supported tokens, fiat currencies, and payment policies at its discretion. Any such changes shall be communicated in advance through the Platform, official website, or registered user communication channels.
Risk Disclaimer
The use of Moniass and participation in digital asset trading involves substantial risk. The value of cryptocurrencies is subject to extreme volatility, influenced by market demand, global events, technological developments, and regulatory changes. You acknowledge that you may lose part or all of your digital assets and that such losses are solely your responsibility.
Moniass does not provide investment, legal, or tax advice. Nothing on the Platform should be construed as financial advice, and users are encouraged to seek independent professional guidance before making investment decisions.
While Moniass employs an escrow protection mechanism, it cannot guarantee the absolute security of digital assets or the reliability of counterparties. Escrow reduces the likelihood of fraud but does not eliminate risks arising from scams, project failures, market illiquidity, or external cyberattacks.
By using Moniass, you expressly acknowledge and accept all associated risks, and you agree that Moniass, its affiliates, employees, or partners shall not be liable for any losses, damages, or claims arising from your use of the Platform or participation in crypto-related activities.
