1. OVERVIEW OF THE SERVICE
The Service allows people to send and receive money, reload pre-paid cell phones, and pay bills around the world. A "Sender" is someone who uses the Service to send money. A "Recipient" is someone who uses the Service to receive money through the Service. The "Destination Country" is the country in which the Recipient receives money through the Service. A "Transaction" is a specific instruction to send money through the Service. The "Transaction Amount" is the amount that the Sender provides for transmittal to the Recipient, excluding applicable fees and prior to any foreign exchange conversion.
The "Payout Amount" is the amount paid out to the Recipient, excluding any taxes or charges that may be levied under the laws of the Destination Country (the "Local Taxes").
2. ACCESSING THE SERVICE
a. Eligible Users. You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to access or use the Service as a Sender. You must be able to form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Other restrictions may apply.
b. Not Available to Certain Residents. The Service may not be available in whole or in part in certain states, countries, or jurisdictions. The Service is only available in those U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions where the Pronto Money Transfer, Inc. is licensed or otherwise authorized in accordance with applicable law. The Service is not currently available in the province of Quebec.
c. Offer and Acceptance. If you submit a Transaction, you are requesting that we process your Transaction, an offer which we may accept or reject at our sole discretion.
3. PAYMENT
a. Charges. For each Transaction that you submit, you agree to pay us a service fee (the "Service Fee") plus the Transaction Amount. Additional charges may apply. Payment is due at the time your transaction is submitted for processing. For transactions originating in the U.S., USEND only accepts payment in U.S. Dollars. For transactions originating in Canada, USEND only accepts payment in Canadian Dollars. If you submit a transaction that results in USEND being charged with NSF fees, chargeback fees, or other similar fees, you agree to reimburse us for all such fees.
b. Payment. In order for us to collect payment from you, you authorize us to access or debit funds from any of the payment instruments you provide us in connection with your use of the Service (each, a "Payment Instrument" including, for example, your credit/debit card or bank account). If your payment fails or is insufficient, you authorize us to re-try one or more times using the same or a different Payment Instrument. For example, if there are insufficient funds in your bank account at the time you submit your Transaction, we may try to debit your bank account at a later time. You represent and warrant that you are the lawful owner of your Payment Instrument(s).
c. Other Charges. USEND is not responsible for any fees or charges that may be imposed by the financial institutions associated with your Payment Instruments. USEND is not responsible for any insufficient funds charges, NSF fees, chargeback fees, or other, similar charges that might be imposed on you by your bank or other provider.
d. Foreign Currencies. Based on the difference between the exchange rate at which we purchase a foreign currency and the exchange rate offered to you, USEND and its Service Providers (defined below) typically profit when you pay for a Transaction in a currency and it settles in another coin. You agree that when you make a transaction to the payee’s bank account , that account is in the same currency as the transaction.
e. Other Financial Obligations. To the extent permitted by law, USEND has the right to collect from you the Transaction Amount and Service Fee of any uncollected or reversed Transaction, plus any fees assessed and collection expenses, court costs and attorneys’ fees. To the extent permitted by law, you agree to hold USEND harmless from any losses, costs, expenses or damages it may incur in connection with collecting for any Transaction or in defending any such actions, including court costs and legal fees. You may be reported to a collection agency or credit bureau if you do not pay for any Transaction or Service Fee that you have authorized on our website in accordance with this Agreement. You authorize USEND to debit your Payment Instrument, bank account or debit card account and/or charge against your credit card account for any amounts owing to USEND as described herein.
4. DISBURSEMENT
Service Providers. We work with local destination banks, money exchange houses, and other third-party service providers (each, a "Service Provider") to pay funds out to Recipients. You, in your capacity as a Sender, hereby appoint your Recipient as your agent for the purpose of receiving funds in connection with the Service.
5. RESTRICTIONS
a. General. We may, at any time and in our sole discretion, refuse any Transaction or limit the amount to be transferred, either on a per transaction basis or on an aggregated basis. Any such limits may be imposed on individual accounts, linked accounts, or on related accounts or households, in USEND’s sole discretion. We reserve the right at any time, and from time to time, to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice.
b. Delays. Your Transaction may be delayed or cancelled in the course of our efforts to verify your identity, validate your Transaction instructions and Payment Instruments, contact and locate you, and otherwise comply with applicable law. Business hours and currency availability may also play a role. However, if your transaction is cancelled you will be entitled to a refund in accordance with these terms.
c. Reload Pre-Paid Mobile Phones. You understand that our responsibility for mobile reload Transactions is to confirm the transfer of the payout amount from a sender’s account to a beneficiary’s pre-paid mobile phone account as a mobile reload. You further understand that we provide estimates of the local taxes and other fees that may be charged by a beneficiary’s wireless carrier (the "Carrier") to a mobile reload transaction, but that the exact amount of the local taxes and fees are determined by the beneficiary’s destination country and local carrier. You agree that you and/or your beneficiary have read the terms and conditions applicable to the beneficiary’s mobile phone account (the "Carrier Agreement"), which terms may include, for example, fees and taxes charged on a mobile reload, the expiration of the mobile reload and the quality and quantity of airtime, data and other services for which the mobile reload may be used. Once the payout amount is accepted by the carrier, the Carrier Agreement applies to all services for which the mobile reload may be used by the beneficiary. Terms and conditions vary by carrier, destination country and the terms of the Carrier Agreement. You agree to contact your carrier directly with questions or problems regarding the application of the mobile reload to services provided by the carrier.
d. Unauthorized Transactions. You may not use the Service in violation of this User Agreement or applicable laws, rules, or regulations. It is a violation of the User Agreement to use the Service for any of the following activities (without limitation): sexually-oriented materials or services, gambling activities, fraud, money-laundering, the funding of terrorist organizations, or the purchase or sale of tobacco, firearms, prescription drugs, or other controlled substances; or to send money to a Recipient that has violated the User Agreement. If you use the Service in connection with illegal conduct, USEND reserves the right to report you to the appropriate law enforcement agency or agencies.
e. Ineligibility. Not all Payment Instruments are available to all customers at all times. We may, in our sole discretion, refuse Transactions funded from certain Payment Instruments. We may, at our sole discretion, refuse Transactions from certain Senders and to certain Recipients, including without limitation, entities and individuals that are included on the Office of Foreign Assets Control Specially Designated Nationals list, Non-cooperative Countries and Territories list, and such other lists as may be issued from time to time by the U.S. Department of Treasury, Canadian government and other applicable government agencies.
f. Transactions on Behalf of Others. You may not submit or receive a Transaction on behalf of any other undisclosed person or business entity. If you intend to submit or receive a Transaction on behalf of any other individual or business entity, you must disclose this fact to USEND so before the Transaction is processed. You agree to provide us with complete and accurate information with respect to such individual or business entity as requested by USEND and in accordance with applicable law.
g. No Changes. We generally do not let you change the details of your Transaction once it’s submitted to us for processing. It is your responsibility to make sure your Transaction details are accurate.
