Both your User ID and Card are highly confidential and should not be shared with any other party

Verification of Information
In an effort to combat money laundering activities and the funding of terrorism, the Australian government enacted laws that require a money transmitting institution such as World Cash Transfers to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who registers at its Website and initiates a Transfer through its Service(s). You agree that we may obtain a consumer report on you at any time.
As part of the application process required to open a Profile at our Website, we will ask for personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, address, date of birth, etc., that will help us to identify you. We may also request other identifying documents or information. If you refuse or fail to provide the requested information, we may decline to open a Profile for you or provide the Service(s) to you, or may discontinue providing such Service(s) to you at any time, in our sole discretion.
You agree that if you initiate any Transfers through our Website, you are initiating each transmission from a computer located at the address that you provided to us when your Profile was established.
Until you have completed the appropriate application and verification processes required to open and activate a Profile and we have approved your application and you have created and been issued a Card, you will not have access to the Services. The verification process will not occur until you request a Transfer. Once you have completed the application procedures, your use of the Services may be subject to certain restrictions as disclosed to you in this Agreement or when your Profile is opened. The restrictions will remain in effect until any verification of your address, identity; Bank Account and Credit Card Account required by World Cash Transfers have been successfully completed. Such verification may include a requirement that you properly respond to a notice that World Cash Transfers sends to the Australian. postal mailing address you have provided.

Using the Services

How To Use The Service

To initiate a Transfer, you must enter the required information at the Website.

Purpose for Using the Services

You agree to use the Services only for bona fide and lawful purposes. You may not use the Services to conduct gambling activities or any illegal activity. World Cash Transfers has the right to terminate your Profile and to refuse to process (or may reverse) any Transfer if it believes, in its sole discretion, that you are using a Service for any illegal or improper purpose or if: (a) any Transfer exceeds the available funds on deposit in your Bank Account or Debit Card Account or, if applicable; (b) we have reason to believe any Transfer may not be authorised by you; (c) any Transfer involves funds subject to a hold, dispute or legal process preventing their withdrawal from the Bank Account or Debit Card Account; (d) any Transfer would violate any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Service, you or the financial institution where your Bank Account is held; (e) any Transfer is not in accordance with any other requirement stated in this Agreement or any of our policies, procedures or practices; or (f) for our protection or yours, we have reasonable cause not to honour a Transfer. You agree that neither World Cash Transfers nor any Representative or Service Provider will be held responsible or liable to you or any other person for such action except as required by law. World Cash Transfers may report suspicious activity to appropriate law enforcement organizations or other government agencies.

Transfer Limits

You can make individual Transfers in amounts up to $1000 per Transfer with a rolling thirty (30) day aggregate limit of $5,000. Subject to applicable legal requirements, World Cash Transfers reserves the right to change limits at any time in its sole discretion including but not limited to stricter aggregate dollar limits or refusing to process any Transfer for you.

Limitations on Your Bank Account

Please be aware that certain types of financial institution accounts have limits on the number of Transfers or withdrawals that may be made per month and may refuse to process Transfers that exceed such limits. Accordingly, we recommend that you check with your financial institution to determine what limitations are imposed on withdrawals from your Bank Account. If we are not able to debit the amount required to cover a Transfer (including any applicable Consumer Fees) you initiate at the Website from your Bank Account, we will not be able to complete the Transfer you have authorised and will not be held liable for any costs, damages, etc., caused by such failure. We have no obligation to try to debit a Bank Account for a specific money transmission more than once.

Business Days

World Cash Transfers's business days are Monday through Friday, excluding banking holidays Australia. Please note that holiday observance in Receiver's countries may affect the Receiver's ability to collect a Transfer.

Paying for the Services

Fees

Prior to sending a Transfer, you can determine all applicable fees, including the Consumer Fee, by using the "Estimator" on the Website. See Section 7, below, for information regarding currency exchange fees. The fees and charges we assess to your Bank Account, as applicable, also will be reflected on the Receipt form that we will make available to you during your initiation of each Transfer. Please print out a copy of the Receipt form for each Transfer you initiate and retain it for your records and save the Receipt to your local hard drive for your records. The financial institution that holds your Bank Account or Debit Card Account may impose fees in connection with your purchase of a Service. Fees imposed by your financial institution or by any other person not directly a party to the Transfer, such as the Receiver's financial institution, will not be reflected on the Receipt form for your Transfer. If you are paying for a Transfer by debit to your Bank Account or Debit Card Account and there are insufficient funds in your Bank Account or Debit Card Account, you may be subject to an additional $25.00AUD fee.

Payment Authorization

For each Transfer you initiate you authorise World Cash Transfers (or any party authorised by World Cash Transfers) to debit from your Bank Account, as applicable, for the Transfer Amount you enter, plus any applicable fees, including the Consumer Fee, and charges. The funds must be available in the account from which the Transfer is made. Please be sure funds are available in that account before you initiate a Transfer. When you authorise a Transfer, you are authorising World Cash Transfers (and any party authorised by World Cash Transfers) to take the funds from your Bank Account in the amount of the Transfer Amount plus any applicable fees, including the Consumer Fee, and charges.

Obligation to Have Sufficient Funds or Credit

World Cash Transfers shall have no obligation to effect a Transfer unless sufficient funds are available in your Bank Account, and neither World Cash Transfers nor any Service Provider shall have any liability if a Transfer is not effected as a result of the unavailability of sufficient funds or credit. You are responsible if World Cash Transfers makes a Transfer you request and, for any reason, World Cash Transfers is unable to collect the funds from your Bank Account, or the Transfer is later reversed. In addition, World Cash Transfers making of any Transfer without sufficient funds or credit available or without financial institution approval shall not create any obligation on the part of World Cash Transfers to make any such Transfer now or in the future. If you are paying for a Transfer by debit to your Bank Account and there are insufficient funds in your Bank Account or Debit Card Account, you will be subject to an additional $25.00 fee.

Cut off Hours

If we receive instructions to initiate a Transfer from you on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on a business day, we will attempt to debit the funds from your Bank Account that day.

Currency Exchange

Exchange Rate Expense

In addition to any applicable fees, including the Consumer Fee, and charges applicable to an eMoney Transfer, a currency exchange rate set by World Cash Transfers or its Representatives may be applied if your Transfer will be received outside of the United States. Any difference between the rate applied to the Transfer and the rate received by World Cash Transfers or its Representatives will be kept by World Cash Transfers or its Representatives. The money earned by World Cash Transfers or its Representatives when the Transfer Amount is converted will be in addition to money earned by charging the Consumer Fee.

Exchange Rate

The Receive Amount and "Exchange Rate" shown on the Receipt are valid for 45 days from the date the Transfer is sent. In all other events an "Estimated Exchange Rate" will be applied.

Estimated Exchange Rate

If a Transfer is subject to an "Estimated Exchange Rate," the rate of exchange for the Transfer will be set at the time the Receiver collects the funds in the receiving country. The actual exchange rate that will be applied may be affected by political, economic and other conditions in the receiving country. Representatives within a country may not apply a uniform currency exchange rate and, as such, the currency exchange rate may vary based upon the Location selected by Receiver. The actual exchange rate that will be applied to your Transfer may materially vary from the Exchange Rate that applied during the 45 day period following the date the Transfer was sent.

Unique Pay-Out Currency

If the Receiver requests that the Transfer be paid in a currency other than the currency in which the Location normally pays out, the Representative (if it is willing to pay out in the requested currency) may charge an exchange fee. This exchange is a separate transaction between the Receiver and the Representative, and is not a part of the Transfer. Use the "Estimator" on the Website to learn what currencies are available in the country you have selected.

Receiving an eMoney Transfer

Availability

A Transfer made in conjunction with the initial application for a Profile will be delayed until your identity and funding information has been fully confirmed by World Cash Transfers. Thereafter, the Receive Amount can usually be received at a World Cash Transfers Location within ten (10) minutes after the Transfer was sent, subject to the hours of operation of the Location selected by the Receiver and other terms contained in this Agreement. A Transfer may only be picked up by a Receiver in the country designated by the Sender. A country may not include its territories. The Receiver can call 1-800-157-706 or refer to the Website for the address and phone number of Locations. For Transfers sent to a physical address, a bank account or an electronic device (where available, check Website for availability), the Receive Amount will be subject to the delivery schedule and hours of operation of the Service Provider delivering the Transfer. A Receiver's ability to receive any Transfer may be restricted until any identity verification of the Sender or Receiver required by World Cash Transfers has been successfully completed and the availability of funds or credit line (as applicable) has been confirmed. In addition, due to circumstances beyond the control of World Cash Transfers such as exchange control regulations of the receiving country, Transfers to certain destinations may be subject to delay or to restrictions imposed under the laws of the receiving country. Please note that holiday observance in the receiving country may affect a Receiver's ability to collect Transfers.

Pay-out Information

eMoney Transfers will be paid out in cash, or to a bank account or electronic device, or a combination thereof, if available. If the Receive Amount stated on the receipt is different than the amount actually received by your Receiver, please contact us at 1-800-157-706 or email us through the "Contact Customer Service" link on our Website at www.WorldCashTransfers.com. The financial institution that holds your Bank Account may impose fees in connection with your purchase of a Service. Fees imposed by your financial institution or by any other person not directly a party to the Transfer, such as the Receiver's financial institution, will not be reflected on the Receipt form for your Transfer.

Receiver Identification

The Sender is solely responsible for ensuring that the identifying information about the Receiver is accurate. A Receiver must produce photo identification. The Reference Number is not always required to receive a Transfer. SENDERS SHOULD USE CAUTION WHEN SENDING TO RECEIVERS THEY DO NOT KNOW.

Cancelling Payments-Refunds

To cancel a Transfer contact World Cash Transfers through the Website. You cannot cancel a Transfer or receive a refund after the Receive Amount has been disbursed to the Receiver or disbursed to a delivering Service Provider, if applicable. Except as required by law, World Cash Transfers will not be responsible or liable in any manner to you or any other person for its failure for any reason to cancel a Transfer. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or required by law, if you ask us to terminate a Transfer or your service, or your Bank Account is closed for any reason, you will remain liable for previously authorised Transfers. Under certain circumstances you may be eligible for a refund. To request a refund, please contact World Cash Transfers through the Website and supply the following information:
Give your name, User ID, Reference Number and date of the Transfer in question.
Describe the error or Transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you feel you are entitled to a refund.
Provide the dollar amount of the refund you are requesting.
If available, provide all of the information that appeared on the Receipt.
World Cash Transfers will use reasonable efforts to determine whether you are entitled to a refund and, if applicable effect a refund, within thirty (30) days after it receives from you a valid written request (including by email) or such shorter period as may be required by law. If World Cash Transfers determines that funds have not been delivered due solely to World Cash Transfers or our Representative's fault, both the Transfer Amount and the Consumer Fee will be refunded in Australian dollars. If World Cash Transfers determines that you are entitled to a refund for any other reason, only the Transfer Amount will be refunded. If World Cash Transfers determines that you qualify for a refund, your original funding source, your Bank Account, will be credited and you agree we may process such a credit. You will receive notification if World Cash Transfers determines that you are not entitled to a refund. For more information, please contact customer Service through the Website.

Handling Disputes with a Receiver or Biller

A Transfer cannot be reversed or cancelled after the Receive Amount has been disbursed. If you have a dispute with a Biller or a Receiver regarding a Transfer for which a Service was used to make payment, you should contact the other party directly to resolve the problem. For example, if you are involved in a dispute as to an amount owed, the quantity or quality of goods or services purchased, whether or not the goods or services conform to an order or warranty, whether or not goods or services have been delivered or performed, or any other aspect of your relationship with a Receiver or Biller, you agree to pursue any such claim directly with the Receiver or Biller. You should contact your credit card issuer as soon as possible to preserve any dispute rights you may have with such issuer. If World Cash Transfers receives complaints about you or a Receiver to whom you have sent funds, your Profile may be closed, among other things, as provided below. To the extent allowed by law, you agree that neither World Cash Transfers nor any Service Provider will be responsible or liable in any manner for any claims that you may have, or any claims made against you by any person, arising out of any dispute between you and a Receiver or Biller.

Records of Transfers

Records of all Transfers involving your Profile will be posted and updated on an applicable web page platform on a continuing basis. You may access these records at any time by clicking on the "Past Transfers" page of your Profile and providing the required information to access such pages.

Your Other Financial Obligations

To the extent allowed by law, World Cash Transfers also has the right to collect from you the amount of any uncollected or reversed Transfer, plus any fees assessed and collection expenses, court costs and attorney's fees. To the extent allowed by law, you agree to hold World Cash Transfers harmless from any losses, costs, expenses or damages it may incur in connection with collecting for any Transfer or in defending any of the foregoing actions, including court costs and attorney's fees. You may be reported to a collection agency or credit bureau if you do not pay for any Transfer or Consumer Fee you have authorised in accordance with this agreement. You authorise World Cash Transfers to debit your Bank Account for any amounts owing to World Cash Transfers described in this section.

Your Obligation to Provide Complete and Accurate Information

You represent and warrant that all information you provide to World Cash Transfers, including but not limited to your application information and all data entered in connection with any Transfer or other transaction, will be complete and accurate in all respects. World Cash Transfers is entitled to rely on any information you provide and you agree to update your information if it changes. World Cash Transfers also reserves the right to take steps to verify the information you provide, although it is not required to do so. You authorise World Cash Transfers to obtain consumer reports on you to evaluate your application for monitoring or collection purposes, or for any other lawful purpose. If World Cash Transfers is unable to verify the information you provide, your application for a Profile may be rejected. IF YOU PROVIDE FALSE INFORMATION, YOUR PROFILE MAY BE TERMINATED AND ANY PENDING TRANSFERS MAY BE CANCELLED. IN ADDITION, YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES.

Your Representations

You represent and warrant in connection with any Transfer that (a) the Transfer information, including information about the Receiver and Biller, is accurate, (b) your Bank Account, has sufficient funds or credit, to make the Transfer, (c) the Transfer is lawful, and (d) the Transfer complies with the terms of this agreement.

Product Delivery

World Cash Tansfers (WCT) will deliver all products in a timely fashion from the time that payment has been recieved and cleared. WCT will make all attempts to ensure that any paid product is delivered promptly to the address supplied by the consumer. In the event that a product is not recieved due to any reason outside of WCT's control then WCT is not liable to replace that product. WCT will review each situation and will make every effort to replace the product at cost to the consumer

Card Protection

You must use your User ID and Card to initiate a Transfer. You agree that your Card has the same effect as your written signature and can be used to authorise Transfers. You agree not to divulge your Card to any other person, and you agree not to use another person's User ID or Card. If, notwithstanding the foregoing prohibition, you give your Card to another person, you will be deemed to have authorised such person to use that Card for any and all purposes, without limitation. You agree to assume the entire responsibility at all times for the supervision, management, control and confidentiality of your Card. You agree that, to the extent permitted by law, you will assume the entire risk for fraudulent or unintentional use of your Card and that neither World Cash Transfers nor any Service Provider shall have any responsibility or liability to you or any other person for any losses or damages which you or anyone else may suffer if you disclose your Card to any other person, including any losses or damages arising out of the disclosure of your Card by the recipient to another person.

Your Liability

You agree to review and verify regularly and promptly all receipts and disclosures and respective debits for payment thereof from your Bank Account or Debit Card Account and charges against your Credit Card shown on our Website and, as applicable, on the statements you receive from the financial institution holding your Bank Account.
Contact us AT ONCE at 1-800-157-706, email us through the "Contact Customer Service" link on our Website at www.WorldCashTransfers.com if you believe your Card has been lost or stolen or if any debit to your Bank Account relating to a Transfer initiated through the Service(s) is erroneous or unauthorised or if any charge against your Credit Card is erroneous or unauthorised. Telephoning is the best way of minimising your potential losses. Otherwise, you could lose all the money in your Bank Account or Debit Card Account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within four business days of becoming aware of the loss, theft or unauthorised or erroneous use of your Card, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Card without your permission to make unauthorised or erroneous money transmissions for which payment was debited from your Bank Account or Debit Card Account.
If you do NOT notify us within four business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or the unauthorised or erroneous debiting of your Bank Account, and we can prove that with such notice we could have stopped someone from using your Card without your permission or initiating additional money transmissions through our Website if you had notified us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your bank statement shows transmissions by us that you did not authorise, tell us AT ONCE. If you do not tell us within 90 days after the FIRST bank statement on which the problem or error appeared was mailed to you, you may not recover any money you lost after such 90-day period if we can prove we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had notified us in time. If there are extenuating circumstances, such as a long trip or a hospital stay, that prevented you from notifying us, we will extend the notice period for a reasonable time.

Error Resolution Notice

In case of errors or questions about any debit to your Bank Account relating to a Transfer initiated through the Service(s) or any charge against your Credit Card, telephone us at 1-800-157-706 or email us through the "Contact Customer Service" link on our Website at www.WorldCashTransfers.com.
Contact us as soon as you can, if you think a transaction on your statement or a receipt for a Transfer is wrong or, if you need more information about a transfer listed in your statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 90 days after the FIRST bank statement on which the problem or error appeared. When you notify us, you should:

  • provide your name, your User ID and Bank Account number;
  • describe the error or the Transfer you are unsure about and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information; and
  • disclose the dollar amount of the suspected error.

If you notify us by telephone, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.
We will tell you the results of our investigation within 10 business days after you notify us and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will provisionally re-credit your Bank Account or Debit Card Account within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error (including interest where applicable), so that you will have use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not provisionally re-credit your account.
We will advise you of the results within three business days after we finish our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

Indemnification

Except to the extent that World Cash Transfers is otherwise liable under this Agreement or by law, you agree to indemnify and hold World Cash Transfers, its shareholders, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, suppliers, Service Providers, and subcontractors harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, claims, demands, judgments and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your use of or the performance of the Services. You provide this indemnification without regard to whether our claim for indemnification is due to the use of the Services by you or on your Bank Account or Debit Card Account.

In Case of Errors or Questions About Transfers from Your Bank Account

ALL QUESTIONS ABOUT TRANSFERS MADE WITH YOUR CARD THAT ARE PAID FOR VIA A DEBIT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT THROUGH THE WEBSITE MUST BE DIRECTED TO US (WORLD CASH TRANSFERS) AND NOT TO THE BANK OR OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTION HOLDING YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.
