The sending address is valid for 24 hours, after that, if you didn’t deposit coins, the order will be automatically deleted. Please don't send any amount after the timer is run out. In case you didn’t have enough time to deposit an amount, please create a new order.

WHAT HAPPENS TO MY COINS IF I DEPOSIT TWICE AT THE PROVIDED ADDRESS?

If you send coins to the provided address more than once, the following scenarios may occur:

1. Double send before the first transaction confirmation: If you've sent coins a second time before the first sent amount has been confirmed by the blockchain network, the system will perceive this as an error. Both sent amounts won't be processed. You'll need to contact our support service for a refund.

2. Double send after the first transaction confirmation: If you've sent coins a second time after the first sent amount has been confirmed, the system will only process the first transaction. The second sent amount will be ignored. To retrieve this amount, you'll also need to contact our support service.

3. Double send to an address after its removal from the system: If coins were sent to an address for which the order has already been automatically removed from the system (which happens 24 hours after the completion of processing the first sent amount), then retrieving the subsequently sent coins will be impossible, as this order no longer exists in the system.

We strongly advise you to monitor the sending process closely and, in case of any issues, promptly get in touch with our support service.

To retrieve the funds sent again:

1. Contact our support team through the form on the website under the "Support" section.

6. If you've lost your Letter of Guarantee, the system might initially struggle to verify the authenticity of your refund request. However, as a last resort, you can send a signed message from the address of your cryptocurrency wallet from which the payment was made to prove the transaction.
