Refund Policy
Ghost Exchange aims to process every swap successfully. In rare cases, a refund may be necessary.
When Refunds Happen
- —Expired fixed-rate order — You didn't deposit within the 20-minute window
- —Network issue — A blockchain problem prevented the swap from completing
- —Under minimum — You sent less than the minimum exchange amount
- —Duplicate deposit — You sent a second deposit to the same one-time address
Refund Process
1. Our system detects the issue automatically
2. A refund is initiated to the sending address (if possible)
3. Network fees for the refund transaction are deducted
4. Refund typically processes within 30–60 minutes
Refund Limitations
- —XMR refunds — Due to Monero's privacy features, we cannot automatically refund to the sender. Contact support with proof of the transaction.
- —Very small amounts — If the deposit is too small to cover network fees, a refund may not be possible.
- —Wrong network — Tokens sent on the wrong network may be unrecoverable.

1. Go to our Support page
