features, technologies or functionalities (the “Services”) provided by Aliant Payment Systems, Inc.
(Aliant, we, our, or us) through Aliant’s website, API or through any other means. The terms “you”
and “your” refer to the merchant to which we will be providing the Services and the person signing
below or otherwise agreeing to the Terms on behalf of the merchant. Please read the Terms carefully;
by using the Services, you agree to the Terms and confirm that you accept them.
1. The Services
We are a cryptocurrency payment processor. We enable you to accept cryptocurrency as payment for
goods or services, and process cryptocurrency payments that you receive from your customer
(Purchaser). We are not a crypto exchange, wallet, or a place to purchase or sell cryptocurrencies. Our
Services are only available to businesses that sell a product or services or to registered charitable
organizations that accept donations. By using the Services, you authorize us to act as your agent so we
may receive, hold and disburse funds on your behalf and to take any and all actions that we think are
necessary to provide the Services and to comply with applicable law. Payment by Purchaser to Aliant
will be considered the same as payment made directly to you and will extinguish the Purchaser’s
outstanding obligation, to the extent of the payment.
In order to use the Services, you must open a Aliant account. When you open an account, we will ask
you for contact information such as your name, phone number, email address, and information relating
to the ultimate beneficial owner or the most senior individual from the organization. We will also ask
you for information on your business, including your business’s legal name or DBA, physical address
of the business, and your company’s website. The information that you provide at the time of account
opening must be accurate and complete and you must inform us within ten business (10) days of any
changes to such information. We may require additional information from you (including any person
signing below or otherwise agreeing to the Terms on behalf of the merchant) to help verify your
identity and assess your business risk, such as your date of birth, tax identification number, or
government-issued identification. We may also obtain information about you from third parties, such
as credit bureaus and identity verification services. We have the right to reject your account registration
or to later close your Aliant account, if you do not provide us with accurate, complete, and satisfactory
As a regulated business, Aliant is required to comply with the Bank Secrecy Act, which requires Aliant
to verify merchant identities, maintain records of currency transactions for up to five years (New York
merchant’s records are held for seven years) and report certain transactions. In the event that a
merchant account is closed by Aliant or at the request of the merchant, even without completing the
onboarding process or performing a transaction, records must be held as prescribed by law.
Merchant Tiers. Aliant imposes daily transaction processing limits on merchants. When you register
for a Aliant account, you will be required to select the limit (“the Tier”) that will apply to your Aliant
account, and to provide us with the documentation necessary to qualify for that Tier. For certain
industries, Aliant may ask for additional verification documents. We will not begin to process
payments on your behalf until we have reviewed the documentation that you provide, in accordance
with applicable law. If you wish to change to a Tier with a higher limit, you must provide us with the
additional required documentation. We will not approve your request to change Tiers and permit you
a greater processing volume unless and until we have reviewed your documentation to our satisfaction.
Please also refer to Section 3.1, Daily Transaction Volume Limits.
2.2 Guarding your Password
You will choose a password when registering your account. You are responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of your password and account access information. You are fully responsible for all
activities that occur with the use of your password or account. Please notify us immediately of any
unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security. If you share your
password with others we will not be liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of someone else
using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge. You may not allow other
merchants to use your account. You may not use anyone else’s password at any time.
3. Your Sales
3.1 Daily Transaction Volume Limits
Aliant imposes daily and annual transaction processing limits on merchants. When you register for a
Aliant account, you will be enabled to transact at the Basic Tier level. At Aliant’s discretion, and based
on Aliant’s risk assessment of your business, transaction capabilities may not be enabled until
additional documentation or information regarding you and your business is collected and verified.
Requests to increase your processing limit will not be approved unless and until we have reviewed
your documentation to our satisfaction and have confirmed the accuracy and authenticity of the
3.2 Invoices and Records
You must keep all records needed for fulfilling the goods or services sold to the Purchaser and
providing any post-sale support to the Purchaser. If the sale of the item requires any government
registration of the sale, you are responsible for such registration. Aliant is required to maintain records
of all documentation and information collected for your merchant account for the duration that your
account is active, and up to 5 years thereafter.
3.3 Customer Verification
Consistent with your local laws and regulations, you are solely responsible for obtaining any
information required of those who purchase your goods or services. For instance, if applicable law
prohibits a sale to persons under the age of 18 years, you must ensure that a Purchaser is at least 18
years of age. Similarly, if applicable law requires that a Purchaser’s identity be verified, you must
verify the Purchaser’s identity. We will not be responsible for your failure to adequately verify your
Purchasers’ identities or qualifications.

3.5 Our Right to Reject

about you, your Aliant account, and your account activity with law enforcement.

8. Invoices & Settlement
8.1 Invoice Generation and Exchange Rate Guarantee
Aliant’s hosted invoice UI shall be used. To create an invoice for your Purchaser, you may post a
request to Aliant to collect a specific amount in your local currency, such as Dollars or Euros, or in
any of the supported cryptocurrencies. Aliant will pull the exchange rate, where applicable, and
provide the payment instructions to you for you to display to the Purchaser. For more information
about how Aliant calculates the exchange rates and factors in market depth, please refer to
Aliant.com/exchange-rates. We guarantee the exchange rate to you as long as the Purchaser pays
within the proper time window after the invoice is created. Invoice timeout information is clearly
displayed on each Aliant invoice. While we guarantee the exchange rate as long as the Purchaser pays
within such time window, you agree that you assume the volatility risk of your local currency or the
applicable cryptocurrency. For instance, if you ask us to collect $150, and the Purchaser sends the
cryptocurrency equivalent within the time window, we guarantee you will receive exactly $150, minus
our fee if applicable. We do not, however, guarantee the value of the U.S. dollar.
For any payments that are made using the bitcoin blockchain, an invoice is considered complete by us
after the payment has six (6) block confirmations. You have the option to inform your Purchaser earlier
about the status of the invoice; please note that Aliant is not liable for settling invoices with a payment
that never receives six (6) block confirmations. Aliant employs techniques to detect payments that are
at risk of never receiving six (6) bitcoin block confirmations, however these measures do not
completely eliminate the risk associated with unconfirmed payments.
8.2.1 Merchant Fees
We charge service fees for merchants on our Starter Plan who have processed more than thirty
transactions in a month or who have selected our Business or Enterprise plans (“Service Fees”).
Merchants paying Service Fees will have these fees offset against their applicable ledger balances.
If you issue a full or partial refund to your customers, the miner fee amount will be deducted from
your merchant ledger balance. The deduction will be added as a separate entry in your Aliant ledger
after the refund is executed.
8.2.2 Purchaser Fees
Aliant may incur a cost (“Network Cost”) to sweep an incoming cryptocurrency payment. These
Network Costs are included in the invoice total and are paid by the Purchaser. The Network Costs are
not returned when a refund is executed. Purchaser has the discretion to decide to pay or not an
invoice after it has been created.
Cryptocurrency transactions may require a miner fee. These miner fees are automatically created by
the Purchaser’s wallet and sent to the miner. These miner fees are not Aliant fees. The miner fees paid
to the Network are not returned when a refund is executed.
If a Purchaser would like to learn more about the applicable fees, please view our payment fee details.
We reserve the right to change our fee structure and pricing. Your continued use of the Services after
we notify you of any changes in our fees constitutes your acceptance of such change.
8.3 Methods of Settlement
We will verify the Purchaser’s payments over the cryptocurrency peer-to-peer payment network and
post the balance to your accounting ledger, according to your preference settings. The debits and
credits to your accounting ledger are funds temporarily held by Aliant until settlement to your bank
account can take place. You can receive a settlement in your local currency, in any of the supported
cryptocurrencies, or in a mixture of both. You assume volatility risks of the currency in which you
choose to settle. For example, if you choose to settle in bitcoin, then you assume the volatility risk of
the bitcoin value. DISCLOSURE: While there are also material risks from accepting various forms of
payment (such as cash, other fiat currencies, network card payments, other proprietary electronic
payments and alternative virtual currency payments including Litecoin and Dogecoin), Aliant is
disclosing the following material risks of virtual currency.
Material Risks of Virtual Currency Disclosure Based on 23 NYCCR 200.19:
8.3.1 Settlements in Local Currencies
If you wish to receive direct deposit settlements, you must provide us with valid bank account
information and keep such information current. If you are using the Business or Enterprise plan, we
will send a direct deposit to your bank account to clear out your accumulated ledger balance each
business day. If you are using the Starter plan, we will settle the accumulated ledger balance on a
weekly basis. If you are accepting any portion of yoursettlement in a supported cryptocurrency, we
will settle to your wallet on a daily basis. Minimum settlement amounts apply; please refer to
Aliant.com/docs/settlement for information related to minimum settlement amounts and deposit
frequency. We will charge you the applicable wire fees, except when settling USD to a bank located
in the US or when settling EUR to a bank within the SEPA zone.
8.3.2 Your Bank Account
You must provide us with written notice at least one (1) business day prior to closing your bank
account. If you wish to continue to receive direct deposits, you must provide us with information for
a substitute bank account. You are solely liable for all fees and costs associated with your bank account
and for all overdrafts. You are also liable to us for any fees that we may incur based on your provision
of inaccurate information or instructions. You authorize us to initiate electronic credits to your bank
account at any time, as necessary to process your transactions. We will not be liable for any delays in
receipt of funds or errors in bank account entries caused by third parties.
8.3.3 Settlements in a Supported Cryptocurrency
Any supported cryptocurrency accepted by Aliant on your behalf must be settled to a cryptocurrency
wallet that you provided. Payments in any of the supported cryptocurrencies are sent to your
designated wallet address, at least once per calendar day. Aliant is not liable for any losses incurred as
a result of improperly reported or designated wallet addresses that you provide.
8.3.4 Refund Reserve
With your explicit consent, Aliant can set a refund reserve. You can use the refund reserve to refund
Aliant invoices (e.g. when goods/services are not delivered) or to fund cryptocurrency payout requests.
Once the refund reserve has been set, Aliant does not settle the refund reserve amount. Pending refunds
are deducted from your refund reserve. Pending refunds are deducted from the settlement amount if
your refund reserve is zero (just like a refund reserve does).
8.3.5 Settlement Minimum
Aliant settles once the settlement amount is above the settlement minimum. Merchants that are on the
Starter Plan only receive a settlement once a week if the settlement amount is above the settlement
8.4 Payment Exceptions
In certain situations when an invoice is not fully paid or overpaid, it will result in a payment exception.
You can resolve payment exceptions from the Aliant merchant dashboard.
Aliant incurs miner fees to refund a payment. If the Purchaser requests a refund for a Payment
Exception, Aliant will deduct the miner fees from the refund amount.
Underpayments occur when the Purchaser sends less than the full amount required to mark the invoice
as fully paid. Since the invoice is not fully paid or complete, the funds do not get applied to the
merchant ledger. Aliant will send an email to the Purchaser allowing the Purchaser to request a refund
for the partial payment. The Purchaser also has the ability to request a refund of the partial payment
directly from the invoice. If you want to accept underpayments, you can enable this in your Aliant
merchant dashboard. In this case Aliant will adjust the invoice price to the amount paid, instead of
refunding the underpayment.
Overpayments occur when an invoice receives excess funds. In cases such as this, this invoice passes
through the state of being paid in full and is marked as an overpayment. Once the invoice is status is
“complete”, the funds to mark the invoice as fully paid are applied to the merchant ledger. However,
the excess funds are not applied. Aliant will send an email to the Purchaser allowing the Purchaser to
request a refund for the excess funds. The Purchaser also has the ability to request a refund of the
excess funds directly from the invoice.
8.4.3 Orphan Payment
Orphan Payments occur when a transaction is received outside the time window referenced in Section
8.1 (Invoice Generation and Exchange Rate Guarantee). Any payments sent to the expired address
will show up in Aliant’s system as an orphan payment. For more information or to resolve orphaned
payments, either you or the Purchaser will need to reach out to our support team with the appropriate
8.4.4 Unsupported Payments
Unless explicitly mentioned on our website or in our Terms, we do not support or process payments
for unsupported payments, coins, or blockchains (“UP”). Purchasers should not pay any Aliant invoice
or send UPs to a Aliant address. Aliant assumes absolutely no responsibility whatsoever in respect to
UPs. If a Purchaser transmits a UP, the Purchaser may lose any perceived value in the UP.
Additionally, you and the Purchaser agree that Aliant assumes no responsibility whatsoever in respect
to that UP and you and the Purchaser will not be able to recover the UP from Aliant.
8.5 Certain Deferrals
If we need to conduct an investigation or resolve any pending dispute related to your Aliant account,
we may delay settlement or restrict access to your funds while we do so. Additionally, we may delay
settlement or restrict access to your funds if required to do so by law, court order or at the request of
8.6 Account Information
You will have access to account information detailing your ledger and transaction and settlement
history through your merchant account. Should you identify an error, you must notify us within thirty
(30) calendar days of the ledger entry posting.
9. Refunds and Adjustments
9.1 Refund Procedures
Aliant can facilitate crpytocurrency refunds on your behalf. You can decide to issue a partial refund
or refund the full amount of the initial purchase. You can also decide whether to issue the refund
denominated in your local currency or in a supported cryptocurrency. If you do not have enough funds
in your Aliant account to cover the refund, Aliant may require you to deposit a cryptocurrency or fiat
to Aliant to cover the refund to the Purchaser. Any required currency conversion during the refund
process will be calculated at a spot rate determined by Aliant, following the guidelines found here:
9.1.1 Refund of Payment Exceptions
If a payment exception is not refunded by you within 30 days after the invoice creation date, you will
only be able to refund (and not accept) the payment exception and Aliant will lock the applicable
cryptocurrency/USD exchange rate exactly 30 days after the date and time of invoice creation.
For any refunds of payment exceptions that occur after the 30-day window, the locked exchange rate
is used to determine the amount of cryptocurrency that will be refunded. The cryptocurrency balance
is converted to USD on the 30th day at midnight UTC. Additionally, because of the cryptocurrency
price fluctuations, Aliant will only refund the cryptocurrency amount sent to Aliant or the USD value,
whichever is less. Any refunds of payment exceptions that happen prior to this 30-day window will be
refunded in the exact amount of cryptocurrency originally received.
*Example for BTC (same applies to other supported cryptocurrencies) if BTC price is lower after the
Day BTC Paid BTC Price to USD BTC Refund Amount USD Value of Refund
1 1 $1000 1 $1000
30 1 $900 1 $900
31 1 $800 1 $800
60 1 $450 1 $450
*Example for BTC (same applies to other supported cryptocurrencies) if BTC price is higher after the
Day BTC Paid BTC Price to USD BTC Refund Amount USD Value of Refund
1 1 $500 1 $500
30 1 $1,000 1 $1,000
31 1 $2,000 0.5 $1,000
60 1 $4,000 0.25 $1,000
9.2 Disclosure of Your Refund Policy
Aliant is not responsible for Merchant refund policies. We do suggest Merchants 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. where a service is provided). If refunds
are permitted, we recommend you to refund the amount of the initial purchase in the currency in which
the item was priced.
9.3 Purchaser Complaints
Purchasers filing complaints with Aliant about a purchase will be forwarded to you for resolution.
Aliant reserves the right to terminate accounts which receive excessive complaints.
9.4 Merchant Complaints
Merchants filing complaints regarding our processing service should complaints via email, phone or
mail at email@example.com, or 866.502.4831, respectively.
