3. OUR OBLIGATIONS
3.1 Based on these Terms and Conditions, we agree to offer the Service to you through reasonable care. The Service might not be available in whole or in part in some regions, countries, or jurisdictions.
3.2 We are not obliged to process any particular transfer. When you submit a Transaction, you are requesting that we process the transfer on your behalf. In our sole discretion, we may decide whether or not to accept the offer to process the given transfer. Should we make the decision not to process the transfer, we shall notify you promptly of the decision. We shall repay the funds paid to us.
3.3 Transfy, on its sole discretion, can 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 sole discretion, decline to process a transaction or limit the amount that can be transferred, either per transaction or on an aggregate basis, and either on individual accounts or on related accounts.
3.4 We might, in our sole discretion, decline Transactions from some Senders or to some Recipients. This include, but is not limited to entities and those on restricted or prohibited lists issued from time to time by the US government, the UK Government as well as the European Union. Additionally, not all Payment Instruments are available to all customers at all times. We might, in our discretion, decline transactions, which are paid through certain Payment Instruments.
3.5 We will always try to ensure that transactions are processed in a prompt manner, but there might be a delay in some transactions while others might be cancelled for various reasons, which includes, but are not limited to: our efforts aimed at verifying your identity; validating your Transaction instructions; or otherwise to comply with applicable laws; or because of variations in business hours and currency availability.
3.6 We shall always try to provide Senders and Recipients with up to date information concerning the location, as well as the opening hours of our Service Providers through the provision of information on our website. However, you agree that Transfy will not be held liable for any kind of inaccuracies, which might appear in that information or any consequential loss which might 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 every Transaction, which 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 Transfy 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 Furnish us with true, accurate, current and complete evidence of your identity, and promptly update your personal information if and when it changes, and;
4.3.3 Furnish us with true, accurate, current and complete information for all transactions.
We will not be liable for any kind of damage, which might result from non-payment or from 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. Transfy and its Service Providers always 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 send money under these Terms and Conditions, it is your sole responsibility to ensure that all the details of the transaction are accurate prior to submitting them. Upon the submission of any given transaction for processing, it is not always possible to alter any of its details. You will be given the opportunity to confirm transactions prior to submitting them, and you must check the details carefully.
4.6 Transfy will not be liable for any fees or charges you may incur by the use of a given 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 Transfy 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 Transfy 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 Transfy 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 (a) to a Recipient who has violated the Terms and Conditions, or (b) in connection with illegal activity including but not limited to money laundering, fraud and the funding of terrorist organisations. If you use the Service in connection with illegal activity, Transfy may report you to the appropriate legal authorities;
4.10 when using our website or the Service or when interacting with Transfy, with another user or with a third party, you are in agreement that you will not:
● Breach these Terms and Conditions, or any other agreement between you and Transfy;

5.2 You have the right to cancel your agreement with us after you have submitted a transaction.

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.
