(b)     is connected with illegal, fraudulent or Prohibited activities carried on by you or someone else.

5. MAKING PAYMENTS

5.1     When you give us a Payment Instruction, you are requesting that we process the Transaction on your behalf and you are consenting to the execution of the Transaction. Your Payment Instruction will be treated as received by us once you submit it to us using the Portal.

5.2     It is your responsibility to make sure all the details are accurate before you give us a Payment Instruction. Once we have received a Payment Instruction, it is not normally possible to change any details of that Payment Instruction. You will be given the opportunity to confirm a Payment Instruction before submission and you must check the details carefully.

5.3     The total amount (the Transaction Amount, Service Fee and other applicable fees and charges) that you will must pay and the relevant exchange rate selected by us will be displayed clearly in the Portal before you are asked to confirm your Transaction.

5.4     There may be times when we have to convert a payment from one currency into another. This could happen when:

         (a)     you pay or receive a Transaction Amount in one currency and the Payout Amount is in another currency;

In each case, there will be a difference between the exchange rate at which we buy foreign currency and the exchange rate provided to you. Pay Way and its Service Providers usually make a small profit in these circumstances. The margin taken on foreign currency exchange covers our risk that exchange rates may change between the time we confirm the Payout Amount and the time we make the payment.

5.5     If a Payee’s account is denominated in a currency other than the currency you instructed us to make payment in there may be delays, additional charges or different exchange rates.

5.6     We will have no responsibility for any fees or charges you may incur by the use of a particular account or Payment Instrument to fund a Transaction. These may include but are not limited to unauthorized overdraft fees imposed by banks if there are insufficient funds in your bank account, or "cash advance" fees and additional interest which may be imposed by credit card providers if they treat use of our Services as a cash transaction rather than a purchase transaction.

         Information we need

5.7     In order for us to process a Payment Instruction correctly, you must give us the following information:

5.8     In addition to the information set out in the table above, you must give us the following information:

 (a)     any other information that must be provided for a Payment Instruction to be properly executed, as specified when you enter the details of the Transaction you wish to carry out;

 (b)     any other information we need to obtain in order to comply with our obligations under relevant laws, rules and regulations; and/or

You must also provide us with any additional information about that person we request in order that to help us decide whether to accept your instruction or receive a Transaction.

Timing of payments of money

5.9     Subject to the terms of the Agreement, where you make a Money Transfer, the Payee will receive the payment as set out in the table below. In each case, the period of time is calculated from the time we actually receive your Instruction. You should bear in mind that payment may be refused or delayed for the reasons set out in clause 7.1, or we may be unable to process the payment as quickly due to circumstances outside our control (as explained in clause 13.10).

         We have grouped different types of payments into three separate groups:

6.1     Once we have received your Instruction, you cannot cancel it.

6.2     Notwithstanding clause 6.1, we may, in our absolute discretion, attempt to reverse your Instruction if you have informed us that you wish us to do so. In some cases, we may have initiated an irreversible request for funds to be paid out to your Payee by a Service Provider. If this is the case, we cannot guarantee that the reversal will be successful.

6.3. We can apply a charge for attempting to reverse your Instruction.

7 . OUR RIGHT TO REFUSE OR DELAY PROCESSING AN INSTRUCTION

7.1     We may refuse any attempted payment to you, refuse to process any Instruction, or delay processing any such payment or Instruction, at any time for any of the reasons set out below:

         (a)     we are not satisfied that we have your consent;

         (b)     we reasonably believe that you, a Sender or Payee are using (or are allowing someone else to use) our Portal, our Website or our Services, in breach of your (or their) Agreement with us or any applicable laws, rules or regulations, or in furtherance of illegal, fraudulent or Prohibited activities;

         (c)      we have reason to believe that processing any such payment or Instruction would violate anti-money laundering or counter-terrorism financing laws, rules and regulations;

         (d)     in the case of a payment to us for your account, we have reason to believe the security of the account or Payment Instrument used to make the payment has been compromised or we suspect the unauthorized or fraudulent use of that account or Payment Instrument;

         (e)     we reasonably believe that you are using our Services to purchase goods or services from third parties you do not know or trust;

         (f)      we are unable to verify your identity, or the identity of the Sender or the Payee (as the case may be). For example, if you have not accessed the Portal, or have not given us instructions in relation to funds held by us to your order, for a period of two years then for security reasons we may ask you for additional verification of your identity before we will process your instruction;

         (g)     you do not provide us with any information we have reasonably requested from you, as explained in clauses 5.7 and 5.8;

         (h)     we reasonably believe there may be fraudulent activity or other financial crime affecting you, any Sender or Payee, any money we hold to your account or any payment;

         (i)       we are obliged to do so by any law, regulation, court order or instruction from an ombudsman, regulator or government body;

         (j)       there is a dispute (which we reasonably believe is genuine) about who owns, or is entitled to, any money by us to your account. This includes (but is not limited to) the situation where a Sender makes a request for a refund of funds the Sender has sent to us for your account or we are made aware that the Sender has made a claim against you for return of those funds;

         (k)      you have broken the terms and conditions of your Agreement with us in a way that we reasonably believe justifies us in refusing or delaying processing any payment or Instruction, and you have not put this right;

         (l)       we reasonably believe that processing the payment or Instruction would breach the terms and conditions of your Agreement with us;

         (m)     you are subject to an order relating to your bankruptcy, or you have entered into a voluntary agreement with your creditors; or

         (n)     we have blocked your (or a Third Party Provider's) use of the Portal under clause

7.2     We can charge a fee for refusing any payment or Instruction. Where such a fee applies, it will be set out in the Portal or on our Website.

8. FEES AND CHARGES

8.1     For each Payment Instruction you give us, you must pay us the applicable Service Fee (this will be explained in the Portal). Payment becomes due at the time that you submit your Payment Instruction.

8.2     If you submit a Payment Instruction that results in us becoming liable for charges (including but not limited to chargeback or other fees which we are obliged to pay), you must reimburse us for all such fees.

8.3     A surcharge may apply for processing credit cards in certain jurisdictions. The amount of the surcharge will be notified to you at the time of the card payment.

Payee will not incur any fees.

9. AIRTIME TOP UP

9.1   The Airtime Top Up service will only be provided to you by us in respect of the mobile phone operators available on our Website. These operators are subject to change and availability.

9.2   You must input the mobile phone number to which any Airtime Top Up is to be credited into the appropriate space in our Portal. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have correctly inputted the mobile phone number. You will then be asked to select the amount of Airtime Top-Up that you wish to credit that mobile phone number with.

9.3   When sending an Airtime Top Up, you will be asked to enter the Payee’s phone number twice. This is needed to ensure that Airtime Top Up is not sent to the wrong person because of a mistyped number. However, if you enter the wrong number twice, the transfer will go ahead and there is no way to reclaim or redirect the Airtime Top Up once the Payment Instruction has been processed by us.

9.4   The cost of Airtime Top Up will vary depending on the amount of Airtime Top Up that you wish to send and according to the denominations displayed in our Portal or on the Website.

9.5   The total amount (the Transaction Amount and our Service Fee) that you must pay will be displayed clearly in the Portal before you are asked to confirm your Transaction.

 

9.6   A number of countries around the world have chosen to apply taxes to incoming Airtime Top Ups. When sending to a Payee in these countries, the corresponding deduction will be made from the Transaction Amount, meaning the Payee will get a lower amount of Airtime Top Up.

9.7   If the Payee you are sending to is in a country which does deduct taxes from Airtime Top Ups, you will see information about the rate in the Portal before completing the transfer.

9.8   The Airtime Top Up is typically sent within a few seconds by us to the mobile phone number you provide upon successful payment by you. Occasionally, there may be a short delay before the relevant mobile operator applies the Airtime Top Up to the mobile phone number e.g. due to congestion on the local mobile network. If you have questions about a longer delay, please contact info@payway.vn.

9.9   Our obligation in relation to Airtime Top Up is simply to send Airtime Top Up in accordance with your Instruction. The relevant mobile operator will be solely liable to you and the Payee of the Airtime Top Up for the provision of mobile services related to the Airtime Top Up. Once the Airtime Top Up is sent to a mobile phone number, it cannot be refunded or removed from the phone. To stop this mistake from happening, we ask you to ensure that the number you have entered is correct.

9.10 You will not be able to cancel the Airtime Top Up once we receive your instruction.

9.11 We may be obliged (for example, due to local laws or mobile operator restrictions) to limit the number of Airtime Top Ups that can be performed or the maximum value of Airtime Top Ups (the latter typically due to mobile operator restrictions) over a given period of time e.g. daily, weekly, monthly.

10. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

         Customer Identification Program 

10.1   Financial institutions are required to assist in the fight against money laundering activities and the funding of terrorism by obtaining, verifying, and recording identifying information about all customers. We may therefore ask you to supply us with personal identifying information relating to you, and Sender and any Payee and we may also legally consult other sources to obtain information about you, any Sender and any Payee.

         Verification and Checks 

10.2   We will verify your residential address and personal details in order to confirm your identity. We may also pass your personal information to a credit reference agency, which may keep a record of that information. Be assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, and that we do not perform credit checks and therefore your credit rating will be unaffected. We may also need to verify the identity of a Sender or Payee in the same way. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with all applicable law. We may do this directly, for example by asking you for additional information, or asking you to take steps to confirm ownership of your accounts, Payment Instruments or email address; or indirectly, for example by verifying your information against third party databases or through other sources.

         Provision of payment services

10.3   You explicitly consent to us accessing, processing and retaining your personal information for the purposes of providing the payment services described in the Agreement. We need your explicit consent as a result of certain rules which apply to us This consent does not relate to how we process your personal information for other purposes, which are explained in our Privacy Policy.

         Where there is an unauthorized payment

12.2   We will refund you where money belonging to you (either money you have given us in order to carry out a Transaction) has been paid to someone else without your authorization. However, there are circumstances in which we will not be obliged to refund you, or where the amount we have to refund is less than the full amount of the payment.

         (a)     if you have acted fraudulently, you will have no right to a refund in any circumstances;

         (b)     you will not be entitled to a refund if you make a claim more than 13 months after the date of the Transaction, regardless of how the unauthorized payment occurred;

12.3   There may be other special circumstances in which you will be entitled to a refund, either in full or in part. If this is the case, we will explain this to you when we process your refund.

12.6   If we suspect you have acted fraudulently, we can decide not to refund you or we can investigate the circumstances further. You must cooperate with us and law enforcement agencies, if we need to involve them.

If there are insufficient funds in your Digital Money Account or other account(s) with us to repay us, you must repay the amount outstanding to us immediately on demand from us.
