Buy giftcards with crypto
LocalCoinSwap.com is a peer-to-peer platform service that enables its users to exchange currency, using a variety of mediums, to and from cryptocurrency. Users on the platform can create offers in which they offer to buy or sell cryptocurrency. Other users respond to these offers and the two users can agree to trade cryptocurrencies for cash or complete the trade online. In order for a user to sell cryptocurrencies they ("seller") must store the cryptocurrencies in the LocalCoinSwap.com web wallet belonging to their account from where the cryptocurrencies are transferred to the user purchasing the cryptocurrencies ("buyer") after the seller confirms the buyers payment. All trades on this site are conducted between users of the service. LocalCoinSwap.com may help to resolve disputes between buyers and sellers. Acting as an escrow provider, LocalCoinSwap.com is not itself a party of any cryptocurrency trade or transactions conducted by its users. LocalCoinSwap does not provide an exchange service.

You must be at least 16 years old to sign up for a LocalCoinSwap.com account. If you sign up for an account, you warrant that you are at least 16 years old. You may only use your own account at LocalCoinSwap.com and you may only have one account registered. You may only act on your own behalf. You may not use your account to act as an intermediary or broker for any entity or person. You are not allowed to borrow, sell, share or otherwise make available your account or any details necessary to access your account to other people or entities.
You are responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of any and all usernames, passwords, two-factor authentication codes or any other codes or credentials that you use to access the services.
Your account must not contain misleading or fraudulent information, including, but not limited to having a non-personal phone number. Creating fake reputation information for your account, faking your country of origin or providing fraudulent identification documents is prohibited.
If you wish to use our services as a company or other entity you are required to verify your account as a company. A company-verified account is individual and can only be used by the person who registered it. Company accounts are not allowed to be shared with or used by other individuals or entities.
Accounts that are company-verified are allowed the following exemptions from these Terms of Service and Use:
In order to ensure LocalCoinSwap remains a safe platform for all of our customers we may require you to verify your identity as part of the services we offer. Identity verification may be required during trade disputes, fraud investigations, and to ensure account ownership. As part of our ID verification process we may require you to provide us with your full name as well as documents and photographs that verify your identity.
In certain situations we may require enhanced identity verification. This may include requirements to verify details regarding payments you have made or received during trades on LocalCoinSwap as well as cryptocurrency transactions that you’ve sent or received from your LocalCoinSwap account.
You can initiate cryptocurrency trades ("trade" or "contact") to either buy or sell cryptocurrency by sending trade requests to offers created by other users.
By sending a trade request you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the trade as selected and determined by the advertiser (whether by selecting from options available to advertiser for offers or by any freeform terms and conditions set out by the advertiser in the Terms of trade field) and displayed on the offer page. The terms and conditions specified by the advertiser are valid in all cases except when they contradict or violate these Terms of Service and Use, are unreasonable or otherwise difficult to comply with, are illegal, or if both parties of the trade consent to alter the terms and conditions of the trade.
The exchange rate, cryptocurrency amount, payment window, payment method and other terms and conditions of the trade that are visible on the offer page prior to sending a trade request cannot be altered once a trade request has been sent and the trade has started.
When you are selling cryptocurrency it is your responsibility to check that you have confirmed, independent of the buyer and their payment evidence, that you have received payment for the full amount, that the payment is not made by a third party to the trade, and that it was made according to your instructions given to the buyer. After you have released a trade to the buyer it is not possible to cancel, reverse, dispute or otherwise recover or return the cryptocurrencies to you.
Payments made by buyers must be sent by the same person that registered and uses the account. Payment details provided by sellers must match the name of the LocalCoinSwap account holder. Making, providing, or attempting to make or provide payments to or from third parties is considered a violation of this agreement.
All communication relevant to the trade must happen in the trade chat part of the trade in such a way that it is readily available for LocalCoinSwap support staff to review. Communication that has not occurred on LocalCoinSwap or that has been hidden, encrypted or otherwise obstructed from view is not taken into consideration during dispute review and dispute resolution.
When a buyer and a seller are in disagreement over a trade either party or LocalCoinSwap can start a dispute ("Disputed trade" or "dispute") to initiate a mediation process on the cryptocurrency held in escrow. Disputed trades are reviewed and resolved by LocalCoinSwap.com support staff.
Disputes can only be started on trades that are open and marked as paid by the buyer. Trades that are not marked as paid by the buyer, have been released by the seller, cancelled by the buyer, automatically cancelled, or already disputed and resolved are considered completed and cannot be disputed, reversed, or altered.
When you are involved in a cryptocurrency trade it is important that you remain active and available from the time the trade is started to the time that the trade is completed, canceled, or resolved. This means that you must be able to provide a response to a request by LocalCoinSwap support in a disputed trade within 12 hours or you may be deemed as unresponsive and the dispute may be resolved against you.
Reputation is important to P2P traders and part of maintaining a healthy community is to ensure that trade count and other account metrics are honest and reliable to reference between users. As a result, spoof trading is strictly prohibited when using the LocalCoinSwap platform. Performing spoof trades can result in your account being permanently banned without warning to ensure that other users are protected from potentially malicious activity. A trade is considered to be a spoof trade when you are performing trades repeatedly with yourself or another associated party with the goal of increasing your trading statistics. While performing a test trade is acceptable, performing multiple micro trades for the purpose of spoofing reputation is not an acceptable use of the platform. LocalCoinSwap support will deem what is and is not spoof trading on a case-by-case basis and take appropriate action.
During a dispute review LocalCoinSwap support may give you instructions that you are required to follow. The instructions given to you may require you to provide proof of payment, proof that you have or have not received payment (e.g. bank transaction history), additional ID verification, photo; audio; or video evidence, or any other documents deemed relevant by LocalCoinSwap. Unless otherwise specified by LocalCoinSwap, these documents must be added to the disputed trade itself. Failure to follow the instructions may lead to the dispute being resolved against you.
A disputed trade is most commonly resolved by LocalCoinSwap support moving the escrowed cryptocurrency to the buyer or the seller of the disputed trade once the dispute resolution criteria are met.
In very rare situations where neither party fulfill the criteria, or it is in other ways unclear or not possible to determine which party has fulfilled the dispute resolution criteria, LocalCoinSwap may decide to resolve the dispute by splitting the escrowed cryptocurrency between the buyer and the seller evenly or unevenly.
LocalCoinSwap can resolve a disputed trade to a cryptocurrency buyer when one of the following criteria are met:
LocalCoinSwap can resolve a disputed trade to a cryptocurrency seller when one of the following criteria are met:
If the buyer or the seller of a disputed trade provides fraudulent information or fraudulent documents or makes false claims or otherwise tries to force a certain outcome of a disputed trade the dispute may be immediately resolved against the user.
If you believe LocalCoinSwap has resolved a dispute you are a party of in a way which is not in accordance with these terms you have a right to request a review. To request a review you need to notify us and specifically request a review by contacting customer support no later than 120 days after the dispute resolution.
You can create cryptocurrency trade offers ("offer" or "ad" or "ads") to advertise that you want to buy or sell cryptocurrencies. Other users can send trade requests to you from the offers that you’ve created. When a trade request is sent to you a cryptocurrency trade is automatically started.
When you have offers enabled you are required to be active and available to reply to trades started from these offers. If a dispute is initiated in a trade against an advertiser who is not active and available the advertiser may be deemed unresponsive as per this agreement and the dispute may be resolved against them.
Information and payment details you provide in offers and trades must at all times be correct and up to date. Disputes may be resolved against you if you include out-of-date payment details and a buyer completes payment accordingly. Refusal to complete trades or to provide payment details for trades opened from your offers is considered a violation of this agreement.
The price or price equation that is defined in the offer details must contain any and all fees that the advertiser requires the buyer to pay. After initiation of a trade the price is locked and cannot be changed or any additional fees added without consent from both parties of the trade.
Occasionally situations arise where we may need to limit, suspend, or terminate your account. Account limitation ("limit", "limitation") results in a temporary or permanent loss of access to a certain specific part or parts of the services we offer. Account suspension ("suspension", "block", "ban") results in a temporary loss of access to most parts of the services we offer. Account termination ("termination", "permanent ban") results in permanent loss of access to all services we offer as well as termination of this Agreement.
We have the right to, limit, suspend, or terminate your account or access to the services that we provide to you if:
We will normally give you a notice of any limitation, suspension, or termination of your account but we may, if it is reasonable to do so (for example we consider it advisable for security reasons), limit, suspend or terminate your account without prior notice to you.
You acknowledge that our decision to limit, suspend, or terminate your account, may be based on confidential criteria that are essential to our risk management and security protocols and that we are under no obligation to disclose the details of our risk management and security procedures to you.
In the event that we limit, suspend or terminate your account we will lift the suspension as soon as possible once the reasons for the suspension or termination no longer exist.
Limiting Access to Your LocalCoinSwap Wallet In certain situations your ability to access, conduct cryptocurrency transactions, or start trades using cryptocurrency held in your LocalCoinSwap wallet may be limited.
This limitation may be applied specifically to your account in order to safeguard cryptocurrency stored in your wallet when we e.g. suspect a third party has gained unauthorized access to your account; if we suspect you of engaging in or being involved in fraudulent or illegal activity; if we are provided with valid legal request from an authority.
This limitation may be applied generally to all users or a subset of our users during service outages or maintenance outages of the website; during cryptocurrency hard-forks or other situations where we believe there is a high risk to your cryptocurrency balance.
In the event that we limit access to your wallet we aim to remove the limitation as soon as possible once the reasons for the suspension or termination no longer exist.
We will normally give you a notice of any limitation of access to your wallet but we may, if it is reasonable to do so (for example we consider it advisable for security reasons), limit access to your wallet without prior notice.
You acknowledge that our decision to limit access to your wallet may be based on confidential criteria that are essential to our risk management and security protocols and that we are under no obligation to disclose the details of our risk management and security procedures to you.
The services are provided to you against fees determined on a per transaction and/or per trade basis in accordance with the prices and pricing principles set out on our website. Such fees may include fees for incoming and outgoing transactions, and percentage based fees for trades completed.
Unless otherwise specified fees are automatically deducted from your LocalCoinSwap wallet balance or deposit at the time when the service is rendered or completed.
From time to time, new and alternative cryptocurrencies and/or forks of the cryptocurrency blockchain may be created. This may result in holders of private keys containing a cryptocurrency balance receiving a corresponding amount of the new cryptocurrency on the newly created blockchain (“air-drop”). We reserve the right at our sole discretion to decide if and how we support any new cryptocurrencies and/or blockchain forks in our services including defining which blockchain shall be deemed as cryptocurrency within the meaning of this Agreement. We strive to communicate our decisions concerning any significant new forks or cryptocurrencies on our website in a timely manner. If we decide to not support a new cryptocurrency we may, but are not obligated to, compensate users who held cryptocurrency in their LocalCoinSwap account at the time of the air-drop in a manner deemed appropriate by us. We reserve the right to provide compensation by converting all of the available new cryptocurrency to cryptocurrency and sharing all of the converted cryptocurrency between users who held a cryptocurrency balance on their account at the time of the creation of the new cryptocurrency. In case such a conversion takes place we may charge you a processing fee in any amount deemed reasonable by us at our sole discretion but not exceeding the amount of compensation payable to you.
If we decide to support a new cryptocurrency, unless otherwise communicated by us, these Terms of Service and Use, including any reference to cryptocurrency, shall be equally applied to the new cryptocurrency.
We cannot guarantee that the decisions we take under this Section will be suitable, desirable or practical to you. If you are concerned about our decisions, stances or the lack thereof regarding any given blockchain fork or new cryptocurrency, we recommend that you withdraw your balance and handle the situation on your own as you see fit. We are not in any circumstance liable for any damage, losses, expenses or harm resulting to you from the use of our rights under this Section.
