Draft — pending legal review. This page describes how QuataTrade works and marks (in mint) every detail the operator and a Cameroon-qualified lawyer must confirm. It is not yet legally binding and must not ship to production until reviewed and localized (EN + FR).
Terms of Service
Last updated: 2 July 2026 · Version 0.1 (draft)
These terms govern your use of QuataTrade, a peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling USDT with escrow protection. By creating an account you agree to them.
1. Who we are
QuataTrade is operated by legal company name (RCCM number, NIU / taxpayer number), registered at registered address, Cameroon (the “Operator”, “we”, “us”).
QuataTrade is a P2P marketplace, not a bank, a licensed exchange, or a money-services business unless state any license held and issuing authority. We never take custody of your fiat currency: fiat payments happen directly between users via MTN Mobile Money, Orange Money, or the internal QuataPay balance.
2. Eligibility
To use QuataTrade you must:
- be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter contracts;
- reside in a supported country (supported countries at launch — e.g. Cameroon only);
- complete identity verification (KYC) to the tier required for the amounts you trade or withdraw;
- not be subject to sanctions or listed on any applicable prohibited-persons list.
3. Your account & security
You are responsible for your login credentials, your transaction PIN, and your two-factor authentication (2FA). 2FA is required to withdraw funds and to release escrow. Never share these. Tell us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.
We may suspend, freeze, or close an account to protect users, comply with law, or investigate suspected fraud or breach of these terms, as described in our Prohibited Use Policy.
4. How trading works
A seller lists an offer; when a buyer opens a trade, the seller’s USDT is locked in escrow. The buyer pays the seller off-platform and submits proof. The seller confirms receipt in their own account, and escrow releases the crypto to the buyer minus the trading fee. If the payment window expires without confirmation, escrow returns to the seller. Full mechanics are in the Trade & Escrow Rules.
You authorize QuataTrade to lock, release, refund, or — in a dispute — award escrowed crypto strictly according to the outcomes described in the Trade & Escrow Rules and Dispute Policy. Admin dispute decisions are final within the platform.
5. Fees
Trading fees are charged in crypto from the trade amount and are published in full on the Fees page: 0.3% for QuataPay, 0.5% for MTN Mobile Money, 0.5% for Orange Money. Blockchain network fees apply to withdrawals. There are no hidden fees.
6. Prohibited conduct
You must not use QuataTrade for fraud, money laundering, sanctions evasion, third-party payments (paying from an account not in your own name), operating multiple accounts to evade limits, or trading proceeds of crime. See the Prohibited Use Policy.
7. Risk & no advice
Crypto assets are volatile and blockchain transactions are irreversible. Nothing on QuataTrade is investment, legal, or tax advice. See the Risk Disclosure.
8. Liability
9. Governing law & disputes with us
These terms are governed by the laws of governing law / country.
10. Changes & contact
We may update these terms; material changes will be notified in-app or by email, with the “last updated” date changed here. Continued use means acceptance.
