You understand and accept that:

• We are legally obliged to retain information about our users and the transactions that we process for up to 5 years or as may be required from time to time by applicable law or by any regulatory authorities;
• All currency converted as part of the Service will be converted using our rate of exchange (as published on the Website and/or the Application or as may be communicated to you before we issue a Confirmation);
• We reserve the right to increase the FX Spread when the markets are closed (weekends, bank holidays) to prevent loss stemming from currencies fluctuating and ensure payouts for our customers (we will still display the rate that we are offering on the homepage and the final rate on the checkout page before confirming the transaction);
• Some countries may impose minimum and maximum thresholds in relation to the amounts that can be sent through our Service;
• You will be liable to us for all losses which we suffer or incur in relation to any fraud or fraudulent activity by you;
• You must call us or write an e-mail to us as soon as possible if you believe or suspect that a transfer of funds was not executed properly or that the amount has not been received or was only partly received;
• It is your responsibility to inform the Recipient of the information he/she will need to provide in order to collect the money you transfer through the Service (such as photographic identification, the exact amount of the send order and the Reference Number).

The prices for the Service consist of FX Spread and the Fees.

Our Fees vary from time to time, but changes in the Fees will not apply to any orders in respect for which we have already sent you the Confirmation.

If you pay by debit card it will be charged as soon as we accept your request for the transfer.

In case of a SWIFT transfer, we are not liable for any additional fees that the banks (either on the sending or receiving side) may charge.

When you pay by debit card and your order is refused by your bank or by the card issuer, your bank account will not be debited. However, it is possible that your bank or the card issuer might hold the amount you tried to send. If this happens you will need to contact your bank or card issuer to resolve the issue.

Discounts on our Fees may be available through promotions that we or our partners may offer from time to time. Promotions are subject to terms and conditions and will be honoured in accordance with their published terms.

You have a right to cancel an order before payment has been made to the Recipient. You may exercise this right by:

• Calling us on +44 20 3322 1558
• Emailing us at hello@azimo.com.

If you exercise your right to cancel the order after you have already paid us the funds to be transferred:

• we will refund money paid by you and intended for a Recipient only under the condition that it has not already been paid out to the Recipient in accordance with your original instructions prior to the cancellation request; and
• we reserve the right to retain the Fees charged for the Service (and we may charge you with those Fees if they have not yet been paid); and

if by the time you notify us of the cancellation of the transfer we have already sent the money to one of our partners in the country of destination, we may not be able to successfully cancel the order, given that the cancellation procedures with our partners differ in length and complexity, as well as often require communication across time zones.

Refunds can take up to 7 working days to be processed and this depends as well on the customer’s bank processes, which are beyond our control.

We reserve the right not to refund amounts smaller than £3 or €3 and charge a refund fee of £3 or €3 (according to the currency with which you pay us) if the refund has been requested by the customer with no fault of our own.

If we do not transfer the money to the Recipient in accordance with an order within 45 days after your instructions have been received, provided that you correctly followed our procedures and complied with all our policies, you may ask for a refund of the money transferred to us and intended for the Recipient.

If the Recipient does not collect the money within 13 months after the date it became available for collection, all rights of cancellation of the order or refund of the money transferred or the Fees shall be deemed to be waived by you.

Your order expires after 1 month. In case the money has not been collected (in the case of cash transfers) or the order requires a correction, we reserve the right to cancel your order without prior notice to you and to refund to you the amount that was to be transferred. The refund will not include the Fees paid for the Service, which we will retain.

All promotions, bonuses or special offers run by Azimo are subject to promotion specific terms and conditions and any complimentary bonus credited to your account must be used in adherence with such terms and conditions.

In certain cases, we may conclude promotions, bonuses or special offers before the end of the advertised period or may prolong the period of a promotion, bonus or special offer usually due to abuse, limited up-take of the offer or error.

Azimo reserves the right to disqualify certain countries from promotional offers.

In the event that Azimo reasonably suspects that a user of our service has abused, is abusing or is attempting to abuse a bonus or other promotion, or is likely to benefit through abuse or lack of good faith from a policy adopted by the Azimo, then Azimo may, at its sole discretion, deny, withhold or withdraw from any user any bonus or promotion, or rescind any policy with respect to that user, either temporarily or permanently, or terminate that user’s access to that user’s account.
