AxiomisPay acceptable use policy for merchants

What you may not sell

Gambling, betting, lotteries and casinos, including crypto games.

Adult content and services, escort and paid dating.

Currency and crypto exchange, OTC and P2P exchange, accepting funds on behalf of third parties, mixers and services that hide the origin of funds.

Drugs, weapons and ammunition, counterfeit goods, documents and personal data.

Pyramid schemes, guaranteed-return investments and any unlicensed financial services.

Goods and services that breach sanctions or the law of the merchant or buyer country.

Who cannot use live mode

Residents of Russia, and companies and people from countries and regions under comprehensive sanctions: Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Belarus, Crimea and the occupied regions of Ukraine.

Companies and people on sanctions lists (OFAC, EU, UN, UK) and anyone acting on their behalf.

Test mode is open to everyone: there is no real money in it.

Merchant checks

Before live mode a merchant fills in a short questionnaire: website, what they sell, country. We may refuse without giving a reason.

When 30-day volume goes above a threshold, we ask for company and owner documents. Live mode keeps working meanwhile.

We may ask about a specific payment or buyer when a check requires it.

Payment screening

AxiomisPay checks the sender address of every payment against sanctions lists. A payment from such an address is not counted automatically: AxiomisPay support decides on it together with the merchant.

The money is already at the merchant address: AxiomisPay does not hold it and cannot send it back. Refunding to a sanctioned address is not allowed either.

Pricing and billing

The fee is a monthly plan by volume plus sweep gas at cost if the merchant uses seedless sweeps. The pilot is free.

An invoice is issued monthly and paid through AxiomisPay. If it is unpaid after the due date and the grace period, new live invoices are paused until it is paid; test mode keeps working.

Breaking the rules

If the rules are broken we pause live mode. Merchant funds are not frozen: they sit in the merchant wallet, and AxiomisPay has no access to them.

We announce changes to these rules by email to the owner at least 14 days in advance.
