Welcome to Lunu. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Lunu’s services, including our fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat exchange gateway provided via our website and related applications (“Lunu Services” or “Services”). By accessing or using the Lunu Services (for example, by initiating a cryptocurrency purchase or sale on our site), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the Lunu Services.
Lunu’s Services are provided by the following registered entities (collectively referred to as “Lunu”, “we”, “us”, or “our”):
All references to “Lunu” or the “Company” in these Terms mean the applicable entity above that provides services to you, or both entities collectively, as context requires.
Lunu provides an online service that enables fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat exchanges for clients. In simple terms, you can use Lunu to buy cryptocurrency with fiat currency (“on-ramp”) or sell cryptocurrency for fiat currency(“off-ramp”).
Lunu is not a bank, not an investment advisor, and not a brokerage. We do not provide electronic money or fiat custodial accounts, and we do not give any advice on the merits of cryptocurrency investments. Our service is purely transactional: we help convert one form of asset to another at your direction.
Lunu does not provide fiat payment services, electronic money services, or custodial accounts for clients. We do not accept or hold client fiat funds on deposit.
All fiat transactions conducted through Lunu’s Services (including card payments, bank transfers, or other methods) are processed exclusively by duly authorised third-party payment service providers.
We comply with regulatory standards in the jurisdictions we serve, including anti-money laundering and consumer protection rules. Our service may not be available in certain regions where we are not licensed or where crypto exchanges are restricted. We reserve the right to restrict or refuse services in any jurisdiction as required by law. Lunu Pay does not provide electronic money services, fiat custodial services, or fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat exchange services to U.S. residents. Such services are offered by third-party providers, and Lunu Pay only facilitates technical support for access.
All Clients’ crypto-assets held with Lunu are maintained in segregated accounts and are not commingled with the Company’s own assets. Client assets shall not be used by Lunu for its own account. Where Lunu temporarily receives crypto funds for settlement purposes, such funds shall be placed in a separate no later than the end of the next business day.
To use Lunu’s exchange services, you must meet the following eligibility criteria and complete the necessary registration steps:
Lunu strictly adheres to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) laws and regulations. By using our services, you agree to comply with all applicable AML/CFT requirements and you acknowledge the following:
To comply with global Travel Rule requirements (FATF Recommendation 16), Lunu may be legally required to collect, verify, retain, and securely transmit specific information for certain virtual asset transfers. By ensuring that both originator (sender) and beneficiary (recipient) details accompany qualifying transactions, Lunu aligns with international AML/CFT standards and enhances transparency in virtual asset transfers.
When a transfer is subject to the Travel Rule, Lunu will collect and transmit the required originator and beneficiary information, which may include (but is not limited to):
All collected information is handled confidentially and only shared with other regulated financial institutions or VASPs involved in the transaction, strictly for compliance with the Travel Rule.
Payment Processor: Card payments and other fiat transactions on Lunu are processed securely via third-party payment processors that are compliant with PCI DSS and other regulatory standards. These processors handle your payment details; Lunu does not store full payment card numbers. All card details are encrypted and processed off-site by the payment gateway. Your card statement may reflect a charge from Lunu or from our processing partner – details on the descriptor will be provided at payment time. If your payment is declined by the bank or issuer, the transaction will not proceed.
Authorization: When you input your card or payment information and confirm the transaction, you authorize us (and our payment partners) to charge the full amount displayed for the transaction, which will include the price of the cryptocurrency and any applicable fees. No additional fees beyond what is disclosed at checkout will be charged without your consent. If we offer the option to save your payment method for future use, it will be explicitly presented and subject to your agreement.
Fraud Prevention: For your security and ours, the payment processor may implement fraud prevention measures, such as 3D Secure authentication (e.g., Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode), requiring you to complete an additional verification step with your bank. If you fail or decline such authentication, the transaction might not be completed. We also reserve the right to refuse to process a payment if we suspect unauthorized or fraudulent activity. In such cases, you might need to use an alternate payment method or contact your bank.
Transparent Pricing: Lunu uses individualized pricing for each transaction. This means that for every purchase or sale request, the exchange rate and fees are calculated in real-time based on market conditions and any applicable charges. Before you finalize a transaction, you will be shown a clear breakdown of what you will pay or receive: this includes the amount of fiat currency (e.g., euros or dollars) you will be charged or will obtain, the amount of cryptocurrency you will receive or sell, the exchange rate applied to convert between the fiat and crypto, and any fees or commissions that apply. We believe in full transparency: all relevant costs and the final price will be displayed to you upfront, in your chosen currency, prior to payment. You will have the opportunity to review these details and cancel if you do not agree. Lunu will not hide any fees – the price you see before confirming is the price you agree to pay.
Exchange Rate Determination: The exchange rate for converting between fiat and crypto is sourced from our liquidity partners or market data feeds at the time of your transaction. This rate may include a small spread or margin which is how Lunu or the liquidity provider earns revenue (this is often already factored into the price you see). Exchange rates for cryptocurrencies can fluctuate rapidly. The rate is locked in at the moment of your confirmation of the transaction, for a short validity period. If you take too long to complete a step (for example, if you delay entering a confirmation code or sending the crypto for an off-ramp), the quote may expire and a new rate could be offered. We will notify you if a quote has expired and present an updated rate for acceptance before proceeding.
Fees and Commissions: Lunu may charge a service fee for facilitating the transaction. Additionally, Third-Party Providers (such as the crypto exchange fulfilling the order, or the payment processor) may have fees. All such fees are either included in the exchange rate/spread or listed explicitly. You will see any Lunu fee or third-party fee as part of the price breakdown before you commit to the transaction.
No Additional Costs After Confirmation: Once you confirm a transaction, you will not be asked to pay more than the agreed amount. The transaction is considered final at that agreed price. Only under exceptional circumstances (such as your failure to complete a required step, or a technical error showing an incorrect price) would a transaction not go through at the confirmed price – in which case it would be canceled rather than unilaterally changed.
Individual Transaction Confirmation: Each transaction is handled separately. Prices and rates may vary from one transaction to the next. You cannot “lock in” a rate for future transactions beyond the current checkout session. There is no subscription or recurring charge (unless explicitly stated for a particular service). Therefore, for every new purchase or sale, you will need to review and accept the rate and fees again. This ensures you have full control and awareness for each transaction you make.
Transaction Initiation: To buy (fiat-to-crypto) or sell crypto (crypto-to-fiat) via Lunu:
Accuracy of Information: You are responsible for correct wallet addresses, payment, and personal details. Mistakes may cause permanent loss of funds.
Timing & Rate Locks: Quotes are valid only for a limited time. If expired or if the market moves sharply, you may need to confirm a new rate.
User Cancellation: You may cancel before final confirmation. If payment is already initiated, contact support. After confirmation or sending crypto, cancellation is not possible.
Transactions suspension: Lunu reserves the right to suspend, block, or cancel any transaction if:
In such cases, the Lunu may hold funds until completion of the investigation, or return them net of applicable fees and expenses
Your Responsibility for Transaction Details: You bear full responsibility for the accuracy of all transaction details (including wallet address, amount, currency, and any other required data). Errors or inaccuracies in the information provided by You may result in the irretrievable loss of funds, for which the Lunu shall not be held liable.
Irrevocability of Transactions: All transactions confirmed by the You are considered final and irrevocable. Lunu is under no obligation to amend, cancel, or compensate for such transactions, even if they were made in error by You.
Payment Exception: In certain situations, if a purchase order/invoice is not paid in full or is overpaid, this will result in a payment exception and an incomplete purchase order. Customers can resolve these exceptions either in the Lunu Pay Widget or on the Lunu contact page https://support.lunu.io/contact-us.
Customers can also contact the Retailer and request a refund. Lunu charges miner fees and Service Fees for refunding a payment. If the customer requests a refund for a Payment Exception, the miner fees and an amount equal to 5 EUR (except for the applicable VAT (21%)) will be deducted from the refunded amount. This 5 EUR fee is levied on Customers. Refunds will only be made in the original format currency of the transaction (e.g. if the invoice was paid in BTC, the refund will be in BTC only). The refund shall be processed within 30 days after the transaction.
Expired Payment: Expired Payments occurs when a transaction is received outside the time window of specified 5 minutes in the Lunu Pay Widget and terminal. All payments sent to the expired address will show up in Lunu's system as an expired payment. Customers can request refunds for the expired payments either in the Lunu Pay Widget or on the Lunu contact page https://support.lunu.io/contact-us. The miner fees and an amount equal to 5 EUR (except for the applicable VAT (21%)) will be deducted from the refund amount. This 5 EUR fee is levied on Customers.
Unsupported Payments: For an overview of currently supported wallets and cryptocurrencies, please visit https://lunu.io/supported-wallets. Currently, Lunu does not support any other cryptocurrencies or wallets unless specifically stated on our website. Any payment made with unsupported wallets, exchanges, cryptocurrencies will be marked as "Unsupported Payments" and the transaction amount will be refunded to the customer after deducting the miner fees.
Disclosure of the Retailer Refund Policy: Lunu is not responsible for the retailer's refund policy. However, we recommend that Retailers have a clear refund policy for their customers (including, if applicable, "no refunds are allowed as all sales are final"). For certain industries, a refund policy may not be applicable (e.g., when a service is provided). If refunds are allowed, Lunu can only refund the amount in cryptocurrencies.
After a successful transaction, Lunu will provide you with a receipt or confirmation record for your transaction. Typically, this will be shown on the final screen and also sent to you via email (if you provided an email address during the process). The receipt will include:
This receipt is your proof of purchase/sale. We recommend that you save this information. If you spot any discrepancy on the receipt (for instance, an incorrect amount or a typo in your details), contact support immediately.
