OBLIGATIONS
-
Subject to these Terms and Conditions, we agree to provide the Service to you using reasonable care. The Service may not be available in whole or in part in certain regions, countries, or jurisdictions.
-
We are not obliged to process any particular Transaction. When you submit a Transaction, you are requesting that we process the Transaction on your behalf. We may, in our sole discretion, choose whether or not to accept the offer to process that Transaction. However, if we decide not to process the Transaction, we will notify you promptly of that decision and repay the money paid to us.
-
BM Express the right to modify or discontinue the service or any part of the Service without notice, at any time and from time to time. We may, in our absolute discretion, refuse any Transaction or limit the amount to be transferred, either on a per transaction basis or on an aggregate basis, and either on individual accounts or on related accounts.
-
We may, in our sole discretion, refuse Transactions from certain Senders or to certain Recipients, including but not limited to entities and individuals on restricted or prohibited lists issued from time to time by the Government of Australia and the government of the Destination Country. In addition, not all Payment Instruments are available to all customers at all times and we may, in our sole discretion, refuse Transactions funded from certain Payment Instruments.
-
We will attempt to process Transactions promptly, but any Transaction may be delayed or cancelled for a number of reasons including but not limited to: our efforts to verify your identity; to validate your Transaction instructions; to contact you; or otherwise to comply with applicable AML/CTF laws in Australia and the Destination Country; or due to variations in business hours and currency availability; force majeure or acts of nature.
-
We will attempt to provide Senders and Recipients with up to date information regarding the location and opening hours of our Service Providers by means of information on our website. However, you agree that BM Express shall not be held responsible for any inaccuracies that may appear in that information or any consequential loss, which may result from incorrect or incomplete information.
-
-
YOUR OBLIGATIONS
You agree that:
-
you will not access, use or attempt to use the Service as a Sender unless you are at least 18 years old, and that you have the legal capacity to form a binding legal contract in the relevant jurisdiction;
-
for each Transaction that you submit, you will pay us the Service Fee in addition to the Transaction Amount. Payment becomes due at the time that you submit your Transaction. If you submit a Transaction that results in BM Express becoming liable for charges including but not limited to charge back or other fees, you agree to reimburse us for all such fees;

in connection with your registration and use of the Service, you will:
-
provide us with true, accurate, current and complete evidence of your identity, and promptly update your personal information if and when it changes;

-
-
when you pay for a Transaction in one currency and the Recipient is paid in another currency, there will be a difference between the exchange rate at which we buy foreign currency and the exchange rate provided to you. BM Express and its Service Providers usually make a small profit in these circumstances. If such account is denominated in another currency the amount to be received by the Recipient will be reduced by the amount of extra charges incurred by reason of the incorrect information given by you and we will have no obligation to make good such reduction;

when you are sending money under these Terms and Conditions, it is your responsibility to make sure all the Transaction details are accurate before submission.

You will be given the opportunity to confirm Transactions before submission and you must check the details carefully.
-
BM Express will have no responsibility for any fees or charges you may incur by the use of a particular 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 the Service as a cash transaction rather than a purchase transaction;
-
you will only use the Service to send money to people that you know personally and not to pay for goods or services.

If BM Express reasonably believes you are using the Service to purchase goods or services, we reserve the right to cancel your Transaction(s);
-
both you and the Recipients will only act on your own behalf. You may not submit or receive a Transaction on behalf of a third person. If you intend to submit or receive a Transaction on behalf of a company, business or any entity other than a human individual, you must first inform BM Express of your desire to do so and provide us with any additional information about the entity we may request in order that we may decide whether to permit the Transaction;

If you exercise your right to cancel under this clause, we may make a cancellation charge.
-
If you wish to exercise your right to cancel under this clause, you must submit a written request to one of the contact points listed at the bottom of this Terms and Conditions, giving the Sender's full name, address, and phone number, together with the Transaction tracking number, Transaction Amount, and the reason for your refund request.
