C. Payout amount, payout currency, payout time frame
  1. When you pay a Transaction Amount in one currency and the Payout Amount in another currency, there may be a difference between the Exchange Rate at which we buy foreign currency and the Exchange Rate provided to you. E&A usually makes a small profit in these circumstances. We guarantee you that we transfer the full Payout Amount in local currency however we cannot guarantee that the Payout Amount received in the Receiver’s bank account is the full Payout Amount as E&A will have no responsibility for any deductions incurred on the Payout Amount by any intermediary, correspondent or receiver bank.
  2. If a Receiver’s account is denominated in a currency other than the currency you instructed us to make payment in, there may be delays, additional deductions and/or the Payout Amount may be different to the Payout Amount in the Transaction. The Customer is therefore responsible for ensuring that the currency requested for the transaction matches the currency of the account where the funds are to be delivered.
  3. In most cases, the length of time required for the Receiver to receive the Payout Amount since the date we receive the full payment from you varies depending on our Service Provider. However, this length might vary due to different factors and we do not hold any liability for any reasons that are beyond our control, which include but are not limited to:
  • Bank or public holidays;
  • Technical problems from our partners;
  • Natural disasters; or
  • Labour issues or strikes.

  2. Notwithstanding this, E&A may, in its absolute discretion, attempt to cancel your Transaction if you have informed us that you wish to revoke it. In some cases, E&A may have already initiated a request for funds to be paid out to your Receiver by its Service Provider that cannot be reversed, and therefore cannot guarantee cancellation will be successful.
  3. If we have executed the Transaction in accordance with the instructions you have provided to us, and either the information is incorrect or the Transaction has been a result of a scam or fraud where the Customer is a victim, we will make reasonable efforts to recover the funds but we are not liable for the execution of the Transaction. We may charge you a reasonable fee to try to recover the funds.
  4. Where E&A has executed the Transaction that was not in accordance with the Transaction, E&A will refund the full Total Amount paid to E&A. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, no adjustment will be made for any currency fluctuations that may have occurred between the time you pay us the TotalAmount and the time of the payment to the Receiver.
  5. Our responsibility is to inform you of Transactions which are not executed by our Service Providers.

J. Transaction Cancellation
