OVERVIEW OF THE SERVICE

The Service allows people to send and receive money around the world. A "Sender" is someone who uses the Service to send money. A "Recipient" is someone who uses the Service to receive money through the Service. The "Destination Country" is the country in which the Recipient receives money through the Service. A "Transaction" is a specific instruction to send money through the Service. The "Transaction Amount" is the amount that the Sender provides for transmittal to the Recipient, excluding applicable fees and prior to any foreign exchange conversion. The "Payout Amount" is the amount paid out to the Recipient, excluding any taxes or charges that may be levied under the laws of the Destination Country (the "Local Taxes").

ACCESSING THE SERVICE

1. Eligible Users. You must be at least 18 years old to access or use the Service. You must be able to form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Other restrictions may apply.
2. OrbitRemit reserves the right to access Equifax, MatrixID, Edentiti, CallML and any other government or private databases in order to verify your information through the process referred to as “electronic ID”. If certain databases provide a match to the information you provide then we may not have to ask for photographic evidence of your identity.
3. OrbitRemit reserves the right to refuse to accept any new user at its discretion.
4. Offer and Acceptance. If you submit a Transaction, you are requesting that we process your Transaction, an offer which we may accept or reject at our sole discretion from our place of business.

PAYMENT

1. Charges. For each Transaction that you submit, you agree to pay us a service fee (the "Service Fee") plus the Transaction Amount. Additional charges may apply. Payment is due at the time you submit your Transaction.
2. Payment. In order for us to collect payment from you, you authorize us to access, charge, or debit funds from, any of the payment instruments you provide us in connection with your use of the Service (each, a "Payment Instrument" including, for example, your credit card, debit card, PayPal account, or bank account). If your payment fails or is insufficient, you authorize us to re-try one or more times using the same or a different Payment Instrument. For example, if there are insufficient funds in your bank account at the time you submit your Transaction, we may try to debit your bank account or charge your credit card at a later time. You represent and warrant that you are the lawful owner of your Payment Instrument(s).
3. Other Charges. OrbitRemit is not responsible for any fees or charges that may be imposed by the financial institutions associated with your Payment Instruments. For example, some credit card issuers may treat the use of your credit card to use the Service as a "cash advance" rather than a purchase transaction, and may impose additional fees and interest rates for the transaction.
4. Foreign Exchange. OrbitRemit and its Service Providers (defined below) usually make money when you pay for a Transaction in one currency, and the Transaction is paid out in another, based on the exchange rate determined by OrbitRemit and specified on the website. The exchange rate specified for a Transaction is only applicable if payment in full for the Transaction (including the Service Fee and all relevant charges) is made at the same time that the Transaction is submitted. If payment is not made at that time (for example if there are insufficient funds in your bank account) then a different exchange rate may be applicable when payment is made. If payment is not received into OrbitRemit's designated bank account in cleared funds within 24 hours of a transaction being submitted, then a different exchange rate may be applicable. A different exchange rate may also apply in all cases where a transaction is submitted on a Friday or a Public Holiday or other such event where the completion of a transaction within 24 hours is beyond the control of OrbitRemit.
5. Funding. The OrbitRemit payment service will automatically match funds received to the customers oldest active transfer in the system.

DISBURSEMENT

2. Verification. Recipients may be required to prove their identity before receiving funds by presenting valid, unexpired identification papers from a list of acceptable forms of identification, for example a valid passport , drivers licence or national identity card.
