Cancellation
7.1. To the extent permitted by law, once we have received your Payment Instruction, we will execute the Transfer immediately. So long as the Payment Amount has not already been deposited into an account of the Recipient, you have thirty (30) minutes from when we receive your Payment Instruction to cancel your Transfer; provided that the funds have not yet been received by the Recipient. We will treat a Payment Instruction as received from you at the time that such Payment Instruction is actually received by us, which will normally be at the time you confirm a Payment Instruction, whether or not that is during business hours.
7.2. In order to cancel your Payment Instruction or request a refund, you must contact us in writing (including by email) or by telephone using the details in the About Us section within thirty (30) minutes of the Payment Instruction.

7.11. Refunds will be credited automatically to the Payment Method used to fund the Transfer, in the same currency used to fund the Transfer. We may request additional details from you to process the refund.

If you cannot see the refund after ten business days, you should contact your bank for more information.
7.12. We are not responsible for refunding payment Transfers made using a Payment Service to pay bills or for goods/services unless it falls within Section 7.3 above.

4.1.4. provide us with any additional information we may request relating to the Payment Instruction (for example, any specific reference number requested by a Business Recipient).
4.2. We are not obliged to process any particular Transfer. When you submit a Payment Instruction, you are requesting that we process the Transfer on your behalf and consenting to the execution of the Transfer. We may, in our sole discretion, choose whether or not to accept the offer to process that Transfer.
4.3. When you initiate a Payment Instruction, we will provide you with disclosures notifying you of the Service Fee to be charged (if any), any applicable taxes to be charged by us, and the applicable exchange rate you will receive. The exact amount received by Recipient may also be less due to fees charged by Recipient’s Service Provider and foreign taxes.
4.4. When you click “Send” on the confirmation page you authorise us to debit your Payment Method for the amount of the Transfer, any applicable taxes to be charged by us and any Service Fee, and to initiate the Transfer. If there is an issue debiting your Payment Method yet the Transfer succeeds, you authorise us to debit your Payment Method for the amount of the Transfer, any applicable taxes to be charged by us and any Service Fee at a later date.
4.5. You must make sure all the details are accurate before submission. If you enter the wrong details you will send the Transfer to the wrong account and lose your money, we may not be able to get it back.
4.6. Once you click “Send”, we receive your Payment Instruction and will start to execute the Transfer immediately. You will not be able to change it or, once it has been delivered, cancel it.
4.7. We will treat a Payment Instruction as received at the time you confirm the Payment Instruction, whether or not that is during a business day. It will reach the account of the Recipient as soon as we can get it there (as shown as the ‘data available’ on your receipt).
4.8. Transaction times may be longer in the event that the Recipient’s Service Provider needs to undertake enhanced anti-money laundering checks on the transfer. Delivery times quoted on our website (or elsewhere) are representative for the “normal”/average service and are not a guarantee of an individual Transfer time.
4.9. We will provide you with a receipt after acceptance of a Payment Instruction enabling you to identify the Transfer, along with details of the Recipient, the details of the amount of the Transfer in the currency used in the Transfer, any Service Fees we may charge or any fees that the Service Provider may charge, the amount received in foreign currency, the exchange rate and the date on which the Payment Instruction was received. We will also provide you with details of your error resolution and cancellation rights, and details of your state regulator and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau should you wish to complain about our services.
4.10. If you have made a Transfer for cash pick-up and the cash is not picked up by the Recipient within 30 days of when it was first made available we may cancel the Transfer and refund the amounts to the Payment Method used. This is subject to the timings and conditions set by our payment processing partners.
4.11. For Business Recipients, you acknowledge that:
4.11.1. we are not an agent of the Business Recipient;

4.11.8. payment to us for a Transfer does not constitute payment to a Business Recipient until they receive the Transfer, and then it may take several business days for a Business Recipient to reflect the payment in their customer account system (i.e. their records for what a student, patient or utility customer might owe).
5. TAPTAP SEND DIGITAL CONTENT SERVICES

5.8. We are not responsible for the terms and conditions or promotions run by Service Providers.
6. OUR RIGHT TO REFUSE, SUSPEND OR CANCEL A PAYMENT INSTRUCTION OR THE SERVICES
Limits
6.1. You agree that we may apply limits to the amount you are able to send to Recipients or use to purchase Digital Content.

Delays
6.3. We may delay or suspend a Service including (but not limited to):
6.3.1. to verify your identity to respond to any security alerts which we receive in relation to your use of the Services;
6.3.2. to validate your Payment Instruction or instruction to send Digital Content;
6.3.3. due to system outages within our Service Providers; and/or
6.3.4. otherwise to comply with applicable law.
6.4. We will attempt to maintain up to date information regarding the availability of Service Providers by means of information on our website or our App.
Suspension
6.5. We may refuse any request any Payment Instruction, or suspend your use of the Services if we believe that:
6.5.1. it would put you over any applicable limits;
6.5.2. it would break this Agreement;
6.5.3. it is unauthorised (e.g. someone else is trying to use the Services without your permission);
6.5.4. it is fraudulent (including where we suspect that you may be a victim of a scam);
6.5.5. you may be acting illegally; or
6.5.6. we are required to do so by law.
6.6. We will generally inform you before or immediately after refusing a Payment Instruction or suspending your use of the Services, and provide our reasons for doing so. However, we will not provide reasons or any information if doing so is against the law or would compromise our security measures.
7. YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL; REFUNDS; ERRORs
Cancellation
7.1. To the extent permitted by law, once we have received your Payment Instruction, we will execute the Transfer immediately. So long as the Payment Amount has not already been deposited into an account of the Recipient, you have thirty (30) minutes from when we receive your Payment Instruction to cancel your Transfer; provided that the funds have not yet been received by the Recipient. We will treat a Payment Instruction as received from you at the time that such Payment Instruction is actually received by us, which will normally be at the time you confirm a Payment Instruction, whether or not that is during business hours.
7.2. In order to cancel your Payment Instruction or request a refund, you must contact us in writing (including by email) or by telephone using the details in the About Us section within thirty (30) minutes of the Payment Instruction. When you contact us, you must provide the Sender’s full name, address, and phone number, together with the Transfer identification number, Transfer amount, and the reason for your refund request. As long as the Payment Amount has not been deposited into an account of the Recipient or picked up by the Recipient, we will refund you for the cancelled Transfer, including any Service Fee (and taxes charged by us unless prohibited by law) within three (3) business days of your request to cancel your Transfer.
Refunds
7.3. We will also refund a Transfer if required by law, or if the issuer of your Payment Method requires it.
7.4. However, we may refuse your request for a refund if we can show that:
7.4.1. you have acted fraudulently;
7.4.2. you intentionally or with gross negligence did not take all reasonable steps to keep your Security Details secret;
7.4.3. the Recipient received the money into their account at the Service Provider; or
7.4.4. there was a mistake in the Payment Instruction (e.g. the Recipient’s account details) which you gave us.
7.5. If we have executed the Transfer in accordance with the instructions you have provided to us, and that information proves to have been incorrect, we are not liable for the incorrect execution of the Transfer. We will however make reasonable efforts to recover the funds. We may charge you a reasonable fee, reflective of our efforts, to do so.
7.6. Refunds will be credited automatically to the Payment Method used to fund the Transfer, in the same currency used to fund the Transfer. We may request additional details from you to process the refund. Refunds may take anywhere from three to ten business days to show up on your Payment Method once it has been initiated by us as it depends on banks’ processing time. If you cannot see the refund after ten business days, you should contact your Payment Method issuer for more information.
7.7. We are not responsible for refunding payment Transfers made using a Payment Service to pay bills or for goods/services unless it falls within Section 7.3 above. The Business Recipient to which you have made a payment will determine your eligibility for a refund. You, therefore, should contact the Business Recipient directly for further details on obtaining a refund.
Error resolution
7.8. If there is an “Error,” as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. § 1005.33(a), then the following procedures for resolving such an Error will apply. Errors include, but are not limited to, a computational mistake made by us relating to the Transfer, or our mistakenly providing the wrong Payment Amount to the Recipient.
7.9. If you think there has been an Error you must contact us within 180 days of the date we promised to you that funds would be made available to the Recipient (this information is on your receipt). When contacting us, you must give your full name, address, and phone number, the Transfer tracking number, Transfer amount, the Error with the Transfer (and why you believe it is an Error), and the name of the Recipient (and if you know it, the Recipient’s telephone number or address).
7.10. We will determine whether an Error occurred within ninety (90) days after you contact us and we will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing our investigation. We will correct any Error within one (1) business day of, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, receiving your instructions regarding the appropriate remedy. If we decide that there was no Error, we will email you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of any documents we used in our investigation.
Digital Content
7.11. Once Digital Content is sent, it can normally be used immediately and therefore cannot be refunded or cancelled.

8.4.2. non-payment or delay in payment to a Recipient or failure to perform a Transfer or send Digital Content under the Services if you are in serious breach of this Agreement;us meeting our obligations under any applicable laws, rules or regulations;

For some currencies, there will be a difference between the exchange rate at which we buy foreign currency and the exchange rate provided to you, which is designed to cover our costs.
13.3. When you make Transfers and pay for Digital Content in a different currency from the one in which your Payment Method is denominated (e.g. you pay in USD to receive an equivalent amount in a different currency) we will apply our standard exchange rate (which may change at any time) and any applicable Service Fees for such exchange, as set out in the App at the time of conversion.
13.4. Others might impose taxes, fees or charges on you, e.g. for use of a particular Payment Method to fund a Transfer (e.g. unauthorised overdraft fees).
13.5. Others might impose taxes, fees or charges on the Recipient, e.g. a Service Provider may charge a fee to withdraw the Transfer. We may offer you the option of sending additional funds to cover the cost of that fee.
13.6. Your Payment Method may give you chargeback rights. You agree that you will not request a chargeback for reasons for which we are not responsible, such as a dispute with your Recipient. We may charge you for our costs associated with your chargebacks.
