You further acknowledge that the acceptance and processing of a remittance payment request by Bank are subject to the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement.
In the event that the charge to your Payment Account is subsequently returned, charged-back or canceled for any reason, and Bank has already processed your remittance payment request, you will be responsible to Bank for the amount of the remittance payment. You agree to pay such amount, plus any applicable service fee or non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee applicable to the return, to Bank immediately upon demand.
F. Reliance by Bank.
When processing a remittance payment, Bank may rely on the registration information and remittance payment request information that you provide to TOML. Any errors in the information, including misidentification of beneficiary(s), incorrect or inconsistent account names and numbers, or misspellings, are your responsibility.
I. Execution of a Remittance Payment Request.
If your remittance payment request is received by Bank on a day that is not a business day or on a business day after an established cut-off time for processing, your remittance payment request will not be processed until the next business day. The applicable cut-off time may vary from time to time, and will be disclosed to you on the website for the Remittance Facility.
J. Payment of Funds to Receiver
Bank and/or TOML-designated service providers will arrange for the delivery of the remittance payment to the beneficiary in the country of the beneficiary. Payment will be made by means of currency (cash), by check, by stored value card (if available), credit to a bank account or credit card account (if available) or by other payment instrument. Not all payment methods are available in all countries, and TOML reserves right to change payment method options. Bank also reserves right to select form of payment to beneficiary. Bank and/or TOML-designated service providers will use reasonable efforts to provide payment in form requested, but the Remittance Facility is not obligated to provide all these payment options for a specific remittance payment. If a beneficiary cannot be located and identified, the remittance payment funds may be returned to you either by a credit to your Payment Account or by check payment, at Bank's option.
Bank reserves the right to establish identification and verification requirements for a beneficiary to receive the funds from a remittance payment. Bank may rely, without further investigation, upon identification information or documentation provided by you or a beneficiary, including any code or identifier number of the remittance payment, when making a payment of funds to the beneficiary.
K. Currency of Remittance Payment.
Remittance payments to beneficiaries are generally made in the currency of the country within which the beneficiary is located. If permitted by applicable law and the Remittance Facility, a remittance payment may be requested in U.S. Dollars.
If conversion is required, Bank and/or TOML-designated service providers will convert a U.S. dollar remittance payment to the local currency at the exchange rate for a transfer in that amount in effect at that time. Regardless of the currency transferred, the actual amount that the beneficiary receives may be reduced by charges imposed by Bank, TOML or other intermediary banks, including a service fee for currency conversion.
L. Permissible Remittance Payments.
You agree that you will only request a remittance payment that complies with this Agreement, applicable United States federal and state law, and applicable law in the country of the beneficiary. You may use the Remittance Facility to send remittance payments on your own behalf. You may not resell the Remittance Facility or use the Remittance Facility to make remittance payments on behalf of, or as agent for, another person. You agree that you will not request a remittance payment that would result in a violation of the laws or regulations of the United States, including without limitation, the economic sanctions administered by the U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Asset Control and the U.S. anti-money laundering laws. You agree that you will provide information that Bank may request from time to time regarding your identity or the identity of the beneficiary in order for Bank to comply with any applicable laws, including anti-money laundering laws. Bank may provide information regarding you, the beneficiary and your use of the Remittance Facility to government authorities.
M. Rejection of Remittance Payment Request.
Bank may reject your request for a remittance payment, or impose a dollar limitation on your remittance payment, without cause or prior notice to you. Without limiting the foregoing, Bank may suspend, delay or reject your remittance payment request: (a) if the dollar value of one or more of your remittance payment requests exceed any transfer limits established for the Remittance Facility; (b) if Bank is unable to charge your Payment Account for the amount of the requested remittance payment and related fees; (c) if your request is incomplete or unclear; (d) if Bank is unable to confirm your identity or verify any registration or beneficiary information; or (e) if Bank and/or TOML-designated service providers are unable to fulfill your request for any reason.
You understand and agree that if your request for a remittance payment is rejected for any reason, you will be informed of the rejection during your next online session, by electronic mail, or by any other reasonable means of notice.
N. Service Fees and Charges.
You authorize Bank to charge your Payment Account for any applicable service fees and charges for your use of the remittance service in accordance with the Remittance Facility fee schedule in effect at the time you make a remittance payment request.
You acknowledge and agree that Bank and/or TOML-designated service providers involved in processing a remittance payment may charge a currency conversion fee for converting the U.S. dollar payment to the local currency. The fee for this currency conversion may vary. You may obtain more information on the applicable currency conversion fee by on the Remittance Facility website.
You may be subject to fees (including a cash advance fee) under your agreement with the bank or other financial institution that issues your credit card or debit card when you use such a card for a remittance payment. You should review your card agreement regarding such potential fees.
O. Delays or Non-Execution of Remittance Payment Request.
You agree that Bank shall not be responsible for any delay, failure to execute, or mis-execution of your remittance payment request due to circumstances beyond Bank's reasonable control, whether caused by strikes, power failures, equipment malfunctions, acts or omissions of any intermediary bank, war, riots, governmental or court orders, work stoppages or similar occurrences or circumstances. You further agree that that Bank may refuse to process or delay processing any request if it would violate any guideline, rule, policy or regulation of any government authority or funds transfer system. THE REMITTANCE FACILITY IS PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. BANK MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WITH RESPECT TO THE REMITTANCE FACILITY.
P. Refund
If you request the cancellation and refund of a previously requested remittance payment, TOML / Bank are under no obligation to process or honor such a request.
Further, if TOML/ Bank are not able to process the remittance due to incorrect account number or insufficient details, then after 60 days from the date of remittance, TOML/Bank would return the funds to the remitter.
In either of the events, where TOML / Bank does refund a previously requested remittance payment, the amount of funds that is returned to you may be less than you originally paid for the remittance payment because of service charges and difference in exchange rates. Your returned funds will be in the same currency in which the transaction was initiated. TOML / Bank shall not be liable to you for any loss resulting from TOML / Bank's inability to cancel or refund a remittance payment. If TOML / Bank determine to refund remittance payment funds to you, these funds may be returned to you either by a credit to your Payment Account or by check payment, at TOML / Bank's option.
Q. Limitation of Liability.
Bank will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the remittance payment to the beneficiary pursuant to your instructions. If remittance payment is delayed or erroneously executed as a result of Bank's error or negligence, Bank's sole obligation to you is to correct the error or to refund the amount of the requested remittance payment and applicable Bank fees and charges. IN NO EVENT SHALL BANK BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR EXPENSES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH A REMITTANCE PAYMENT OR THE REMITTANCE FACILITY. In any event, an action or proceeding by you to enforce any obligation, duty or right arising under the Agreement must be commenced within one (1) year from the date that such cause of action accrues. In no event shall Bank's liability ever exceed the amount of the remittance payment. The foregoing shall constitute Bank's entire liability and your exclusive remedy.
R. Indemnity.
In consideration of the agreement by Bank to provide you with the Remittance Facility, you agree to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, judgments, executions, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses - including reasonable attorney's fees - in connection with or arising out of (i) your use of the Remittance Facility, (ii) your breach of this Agreement, or (iii) Bank acting upon your request for a remittance payment pursuant to this Agreement.
