3. OUR OBLIGATIONS

3.1 Subject to these Terms and Conditions, we agree to provide the Service to you using reasonable care. The Service may not be available in whole or in part in certain regions, countries, or jurisdictions.

3.2 We are not obliged to process any particular Transaction. When you submit a Transaction, you are requesting that we process the Transaction on your behalf. We may, in our sole discretion, choose whether or not to accept the offer to process that Transaction. However, if we decide not to process the Transaction, we will notify you promptly of that decision and repay the money paid to us.

3.3 Worldremit reserves the right to modify or discontinue the service or any part of the Service without notice, at any time and from time to time. We may, in our absolute discretion, refuse any Transaction or limit the amount to be transferred, either on a per transaction basis or on an aggregate basis, and either on individual accounts or on related accounts.

3.4 We may, in our sole discretion, refuse Transactions from certain Senders or to certain Recipients, including but not limited to entities and individuals on restricted or prohibited lists issued from time to time by the UK Government. In addition, not all Payment Instruments are available to all customers at all times and we may, in our sole discretion, refuse Transactions funded from certain Payment Instruments.

3.5 We will attempt to process Transactions promptly, but any Transaction may be delayed or cancelled for a number of reasons including but not limited to: our efforts to verify your identity; to validate your Transaction instructions; to contact you; or otherwise to comply with applicable law; or due to variations in business hours and currency availability.

3.6 We will attempt to provide Senders and Recipients with up to date information regarding the location and opening hours of our Service Providers by means of information on our website. However, you agree that Worldremit shall not be held responsible for any inaccuracies that may appear in that information or any consequential loss which may result from incorrect or incomplete information.

4. YOUR OBLIGATIONS

You agree that:

4.1 you will not access, use or attempt to use the Service as a Sender unless you are at least 18 years old, and that you have the legal capacity to form a binding legal contract in the relevant jurisdiction;

4.2 for each Transaction that you submit, you will pay us the Service Fee in addition to the Transaction Amount. Payment becomes due at the time that you submit your Transaction. If you submit a Transaction that results in Worldremit becoming liable for charges including but not limited to chargeback or other fees, you agree to reimburse us for all such fees;

4.3 in connection with your registration and use of the Service, you will:

4.3.1 provide us with true, accurate, current and complete evidence of your identity, and promptly update your personal information if and when it changes;

4.3.2 provide our merchant with details of one or more Payment Instruments; and

4.3.3 provide us with true, accurate, current and complete information for all Transactions.

We do not accept any liability for damages resulting from non-payment or delay in payment of a money transfer to a Recipient or failure to perform a transaction under the Service by reason of any of these matters.

4.4 when you pay for a Transaction in one currency and the Recipient is paid in another currency, there will be a difference between the exchange rate at which we buy foreign currency and the exchange rate provided to you. Worldremit and its Service Providers usually make a small profit in these circumstances. If such account is denominated in another currency the amount to be received by the Recipient will be reduced by the amount of extra charges incurred by reason of the incorrect information given by you and we will have no obligation to make good such reduction;

4.5 when you are sending money under these Terms and Conditions, it is your responsibility to make sure all the Transaction details are accurate before submission. Once a Transaction has been submitted for processing it is not normally possible to change any of its details. You will be given the opportunity to confirm Transactions before submission and you must check the details carefully.

4.6 Worldremit will have no responsibility for any fees or charges you may incur by the use of a particular Payment Instrument to fund a Transaction. These may include but are not limited to unauthorised overdraft fees imposed by banks if there are insufficient funds in your bank account or "cash advance" fees and additional interest which may be imposed by credit card providers if they treat use of the Service as a cash transaction rather than a purchase transaction;

4.7 you will only use the Service to send money to people that you know personally and not to pay for goods or services. If, in breach of this clause, you choose to pay third parties for goods and services using the Service, you acknowledge that Worldremit has no control over, and is not responsible for, the quality, safety, legality, or delivery of such goods or services and that any such use of the Service is entirely at your own risk. If Worldremit reasonably believes you are using the Service to purchase goods or services, we reserve the right to cancel your Transaction(s);

4.8 both you and the Recipients will only act on your own behalf. You may not submit or receive a Transaction on behalf of a third person. If you intend to submit or receive a Transaction on behalf of a company, business or any entity other than a human individual, you must first inform Worldremit of your desire to do so and provide us with any additional information about the entity we may request in order that we may decide whether to permit the Transaction;

4.9 in using the Service you will comply with these Terms and Conditions as well as any applicable laws, rules or regulations. It is a breach of these Terms and Conditions to use the Service to send money (i) to a Recipient who has violated the Terms and Conditions, or (ii) in connection with illegal activity including without limitation money-laundering, fraud and the funding of terrorist organisations. If you use the Service in connection with illegal activity, Worldremit may report you to the appropriate legal authorities;

4.10 when using our website or the Service or when interacting with Worldremit, with another user or with a third party, you will not:

4.10.1 breach this Terms and Conditions, or any other agreement between you and Worldremit;

4.10.2 open more than one account, without our prior written permission;

4.10.3 provide false, inaccurate, or misleading information;

4.10.4 allow anyone else access to your registration details, and will keep those details secure;

4.10.5 refuse to provide confirmation of any information you provide to us, including proof of identity, or refuse to co-operate in any investigation;

4.10.6 use an anonymising proxy (a tool that attempts to make activity untraceable); or

4.10.7 copy or monitor our website using any robot, spider, or other automatic device or manual process, without our prior written permission.

4.11 Worldremit may, as necessary in providing the Service, store all information required of a Recipient to prove his or her identity or associated with their specific Transaction. Such proofs may include a suitable form of valid, unexpired identification from a list of acceptable papers provided by the Service Provider, and/or a Transaction tracking number, a personal identification number (PIN), a "password", a "secret word", or other similar identifiers.

5. CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS

5.1 If you have any problems using the Service you should contact us through the channels listed at the end of this Terms and Conditions.

5.2 You have the statutory right to cancel your agreement with us after you have submitted a Transaction. This right of cancellation continues until fourteen days after you have submitted the transaction, or until we have completed the contract by paying the Payout Amount to the Recipient, whichever is the earlier. If you exercise your right to cancel under this clause, we may make a cancellation charge.

5.3 If you wish to exercise your right to cancel under this clause, you must submit a written request to one of the contact points listed at the bottom of this Terms and Conditions, giving the Sender's full name, address, and phone number, together with the Transaction tracking number, Transaction Amount, and the reason for your refund request.

5.4 Any refunds will be credited back to the same Payment Instrument used to fund the Transaction and in the same currency. No adjustment will be made for any currency fluctuations which may have occurred in the meanwhile.

6. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

6.1 Customer Identification Program. UK law requires all financial institutions to assist in the fight against money laundering activities and the funding of terrorism by obtaining, verifying, and recording identifying information about all customers. We may therefore require you to supply us with personal identifying information and we may also legally consult other sources to obtain information about you.

6.2 Verification and Checks. We will verify your residential address and personal details in order to confirm your identity. We may also pass your personal information to a credit reference agency, which may keep a record of that information. You can be rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

6.3 By accepting these Terms and Conditions you authorise us to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate the information that you provide to us. We may do this directly, for example by asking you for additional information, requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your Payment Instruments or email address; or by verifying your information against third party databases; or through other sources.

6.4 Data Privacy Policy. You consent to our processing your personal information for the purposes of providing the Service, including for verification purposes as set out in this clause. You also consent to the use of such data for communicating with you, and for statutory, accounting and archival purposes. You acknowledge that you have read and consented to Worldremit's Data Privacy Policy. The Data Privacy Policy can be found by clicking here: Data Privacy Policy.

6.5 Government Disclosures. We may be required by law to provide information about you and your Transactions to government or other competent authorities as described in our Data Privacy Policy. You acknowledge and consent to our doing this.
