If you elect to have a Money Transfer paid to a recipient in a currency other than the currency of the transfer amount you pay to us (“Payout Currency”), a retail exchange rate may be applied in addition to any service charge appearing on the face of your Contract Note. The Payout Currency for such Money Transfer is acquired by us at a wholesale rate that fluctuates, but may approximate the wholesale rate for such Payout Currency listed in newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal®. The difference between the retail exchange rate applied to such Money Transfer transaction and the wholesale exchange rate at which we acquired the Payout Currency will be kept by us as revenue, in addition to any Service Charges. 

7.8.2 Services Charges and Additional Fees 

In consideration of your use of Our Services, you agree to pay a service charge per Trade, Money Transfer or any other service executed through Our Website. The service charge will be charged to the credit card, debit card, or bank account you identify as the payment method for your transaction. The service charge (in addition to any other applicable fees charged by us directly or on behalf of any U.S. federal or state governmental authority) will be displayed online for your authorization prior to submission of the Trade or Money Transfer. Our service charge schedule is subject to change from time to time in our sole and absolute discretion. In addition to any fees charged by us, a Money Transfer may be subject to additional fees assessed by the U.S. federal government, the U.S. state where the Money Transfer originates, the government of the destination country, or the financial institution in the destination country at which your recipient holds a bank account. 

7.9 Money Transfer Transactional Restrictions 

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to: (i) reject a proposed Money Transfer; (ii) limit the amount of a Money Transfer; (iii) require additional information to complete a Money Transfer; and/or (iv) take reasonable measures with respect to a Money Transfer in an effort to comply with applicable laws and regulations. As a customer, you agree not to attempt to circumvent the parameters of Our Services by using a different debit or credit card or bank account, entering false information, creating additional Accounts or any other means. 

When you submit a Money Transfer, the recipient’s bank is not required to accept it. You agree that you will not hold us liable for any damages resulting from a recipient’s bank’s decision not to accept a Money Transfer made though Our Services. Any unclaimed, refunded or denied payment will be returned to you or to the original payment method. We will return any unclaimed Money Transfer to you, via the original payment method, within ten (10) days of the date we are informed that the recipient’s bank has rejected your Money Transfer transaction.

Funds on Account

7.11.1 Funds on Account may be maintained for a maximum of ninety (90) days. You shall be responsible for all risks (including, without limitation, volatility of the foreign currency market) associated with maintaining Funds on Account. Prior to the expiration of the ninety (90) day period, Xe may contact you for your instructions in respect of disposition of the Funds on Account. If Xe does not receive a timely instruction for the disposition of such funds, those funds will be converted to your home currency at the then prevailing exchange rate(s) and returned to you.

7.11.2 Xe will make the following attempts to contact you and should you fail to provide Xe with your instructions on the Funds on Account, your Funds on Account may be dealt with as set out below:

• • 7.11.2.1 Xe will send correspondence to you, on the preferred form of communication in force at the time, highlighting that you have Funds on Account and request instruction on how to proceed and stating that should you not take appropriate action within two (2) weeks of our final correspondence as set out below, Xe may handle your funds as set out in 7.11.2.2
  • 7.11.2.2 Following our first correspondence to you, Xe may send a further final correspondence to you. If you fail to take appropriate action within two (2) weeks of the date of our final correspondence, Xe may remove the Funds on Account, convert them to your home currency at the then prevailing exchange rate(s) and return them to you. Should this prove not possible, Xe may dispose of those Funds on Account to the state, a non-profit organisation or recognise the Funds on Account as revenue or as may be otherwise required by law, subject to applicable laws and Regulations.

7.11.3 Where Xe holds Funds on Account and you enter into a Payment Contract or Trade, Xe may use the Funds on Account in settlement or part-settlement of such Payment Contract or Trade, unless instructed otherwise by you. In the event that any Funds on Account held by Xe are so applied and are insufficient, you shall remain liable to Xe for any balance and you shall forthwith pay or reimburse such balance in full on demand.

7.11.4 In the event that Our Terms are terminated for any reason, Xe may convert Funds on Account into your home currency at the then-prevailing exchange rate(s) and return such funds to you subject to this clause 7.11.

Unallocated Funds

7.11.5 Notwithstanding any other provisions of Our Terms, and to the extent permitted by law, where Xe holds Unallocated Funds in an amount less than 10 of the relevant currency unit (or 100 of the applicable currency unit in Australia and New Zealand), Xe may immediately recognise that amount as revenue or dispose such amount to the state or non-profit organisation or as may be otherwise required by law, subject to the applicable laws and Regulations;

7.11.6 Unallocated Funds (exceeding 10 of the applicable currency unit or 100 of the applicable currency unit in Australia and New Zealand) may be maintained for a maximum of ninety (90) days, subject to applicable laws and Regulations. You shall be responsible for all risks (including, without limitation, volatility of the foreign currency market) associated with the Unallocated Funds. If Xe does not receive a timely instruction for the disposition of such funds, those funds may be disposed to the state, a non-profit organisation or recognised as revenue by Xe or as may be otherwise required by law, subject to applicable laws and Regulations.

7.11.7 You acknowledge and accept that no interest will be paid by Xe to you in respect of any Funds on Account or Unallocated Funds.

14. MONEY TRANSFER REGULATIONS  

This clause 14 (and its sub-clauses) explains certain important rights and obligations, including our liability to you, under the laws that govern our provision of money transmission services to you (“Regulations”).  

After a foreign exchange trade is completed, we cannot hold onto the proceeds of the foreign exchange trade to which our client is entitled indefinitely and must send them either to the account where our client has directed us to send them or back to our client. This clause 14 (and its sub-clauses) applies to any Money Transfer governed by the Regulations which you ask us to perform for you once the Trade has been completed. 

This clause 14 (and its sub-clauses) does not apply to the Trade or to any payment you make to us for the Trade, or to any payment we make to any person, or any person makes to us, in order to perform the Trade. 

14.1 Information and notifications concerning a Money Transfer 

14.1.1 The Regulations require us to provide certain information and notifications to you concerning any Money Transfer we perform for you.

b) you cancel the Money Transfer in accordance with your cancellation rights as described in the Contract Note; or 

c) we agree in writing with you that we will not do so. 

14.3.2 For the avoidance of doubt, if the instructions in your notice are unclear we will not treat your consent to the Money Transfer as being withdrawn and we will proceed with the Money Transfer. For the purposes of clause 14.3.1(a) “not later than the end of the last Business Day” means not later than 5:00 pm Pacific on that Business Day. 

14.3.3 Where, in accordance with clause 14.3.1, you instruct us that you no longer wish us to carry out a Money Transfer or we agree in writing with you that we will not do so (each a “Cancellation”), and you do not give us immediate instructions in writing to carry out an alternative Money Transfer, we reserve the right to treat the Contract as terminated by you and the provisions of clause 8.6 will apply.

14.4.1 We may be liable to you under the Regulations where we perform a Money Transfer for you that you did not authorize us to perform.

14.5.4 You will not be entitled to the remedy mentioned in clause 14.5.3:

b) where we are able to show that the authorized amount was received at the appropriate time by the person to whom you instructed us to send the Traded Funds; or 

c) if the failure to perform or incorrect performance was due to you or any Authorized Person providing us with incomplete or incorrect information or was otherwise due to your fault or the fault of any Authorized Person. 

14.5.5 We will have no liability to you for failure to perform or incorrect performance of a Money Transfer where the reason for this was our refusal to proceed with that Money Transfer or any part of it as a result of our efforts to comply with the Regulations and applicable laws.

a) unless it is unlawful for us to do so, we will tell you; 

b) if possible, we will let you know our reasons for our refusal; and

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION  

16.1 Any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be settled exclusively by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules including the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling AAA at 1-800-7787879. This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”) shall apply to the construction, interpretation, and enforceability of this provision notwithstanding any other choice of law provision contained in this Agreement. You should review this arbitration provision carefully. This provision limits your and the Company’s ability to litigate claims in court and you and the Company each agree to waive our respective rights to a jury trial. Any arbitration under this provision shall take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You will not have the right to participate as a class representative, private attorney general, or as a member of any class of claimants for any claim subject to arbitration. A claim by, or on behalf of, other persons will not be considered in, joined with, or consolidated with, the arbitration proceedings between you and us. Any dispute regarding the prohibitions in the prior sentence shall be resolved by the arbitrator in accordance with this arbitration provision. 

16.2 A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). Any Notice to the Company should be addressed to 7001 Village Drive, Suite 200, Buena Park, California 90621, Attention: Legal Department (“Company Notice Address”). Any Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If you and the Company do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or us shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or we are entitled. 

16.3 You and we agree, upon written demand made by you or us, to submit to binding arbitration all disputes, controversies, and claims, whether based on contract, tort, fraudulent misrepresentation, statute, regulation, constitution, common law, equity, or any other legal basis or theory, and whether pre-existing, present, or future, that arise out of or relate to this Agreement, Money Transfer services, or the benefits provided by them, or any advertisements, promotions, or oral or written statements related to Money Transfer services, or the relationships that result from the purchase and use of Money Transfer services, or the scope or enforceability of this Agreement, including the determination of the applicability of this agreement to arbitrate (collectively, a “Claim”). 

16.4 The arbitration tribunal shall consist of a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the Parties, or in the absence of such agreement within thirty (30) days from the first referral of the dispute to AAA, designated by AAA. The arbitrator shall be an active member in good standing of the bar for any state in the continental United States and shall be either actively engaged in the practice of law for at least 5 years, or a retired judge. You and we understand that in an arbitration, discovery is more limited than in a court and review by courts is very limited. The place of arbitration shall be Los Angeles, California or, if you so elect within fifteen (15) days from the first referral of the dispute to AAA, in the federal judicial district of your residence, and you will be given the opportunity to attend the proceeding and be heard. The arbitral award shall be final and binding. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All parties retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the jurisdictional limits of the small claims court. 

16.5 Each Party retains the right to seek judicial assistance: (a) to compel arbitration; (b) to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies or measures of protection prior to or pending arbitration; (c) to seek injunctive relief in the courts of any jurisdiction as may be necessary and appropriate to enforce intellectual property rights; and (d) to enforce any decision of the arbitrator, including the final award. In no event shall any Party be entitled to punitive, exemplary or similar damages. 

16.6 You and we agree that the arbitrator: i) shall limit discovery to non-privileged matters directly relevant to the arbitrated dispute; ii) shall grant only relief that is based upon and consistent with substantial evidence and applicable substantive law; iii) shall have authority to grant relief only with respect to Claims asserted by or against you individually; and iv) shall provide a written statement stating the disposition of each claim and a concise written explanation of the basis for the award and shall make specific findings of fact and conclusions of law to support any arbitration award. Unless inconsistent with applicable law, and except as otherwise provided herein, each party shall bear the expense of its respective attorney, expert, and witness fees, regardless of which party prevails in the arbitration. We will pay to AAA the portion of the arbitration filing fee that exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit in the federal court where you live. If you are unable to pay the filing fee, we will pay it directly upon receiving a written request. We will pay all of the remaining administration fees and other costs, including the arbitrator’s fees, for any non-frivolous claim (measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)) that does not exceed $15,000. For all other claims, the arbitrator will decide whether we or you ultimately will be responsible for paying any fees or other costs in connection with the arbitration under the applicable Rules. 

16.7 If we made a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, and the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits that is greater than the value of the Company’s last settlement offer, then we will: i) pay you the amount of the arbitrator’s award or $5,500 (the “alternative award”) whichever is greater; and ii) pay your attorney twice the amount of reasonable attorneys’ fees, plus reimbursement for expenses (including expert witness fees and costs), that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing and pursuing your claims in arbitration (the “attorney premium”). 

16.8 If we did not make a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, and the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits, you and your attorney will be entitled to receive the alternative award and the attorney premium, respectively. 

16.9 If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this arbitration provision will remain valid and enforceable. This arbitration provision shall survive expiration or termination of the Agreement. 

 

17. LIMITATION ON TIME TO FILE CLAIMS  

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR OUR WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. 

 

Schedule: Cash Pickup

1. Interpretation

1.1 In this Schedule, words shall be given the meaning set out in Xe’s standard terms and conditions available online (as amended from time to time) (Xe’s Terms), unless defined otherwise herein.

2. Incorporation of Cash Pickup Terms

2.1 These Xe Cash Pickup Terms apply to, and only when, you utilise Xe’s Cash Pickup Services (as defined herein). These terms are additional to and supplement Xe’s Terms. Where there is any conflict in respect of any Cash Pickup Services, these Xe Cash Pickup Terms shall prevail.

3. Cash Pickup Service

3.1 Xe’s Cash Pickup Service is offered at Xe’s sole discretion via Xe’s 'Currency Converter & Global Money Transfers' mobile application (Xe’s App) in respect of Spot Trades only (Xe Cash Payment), whereby payment is sent to your chosen recipient (Beneficiary) and made available in cash at the selected Correspondent’s store or agency (Xe Cash Pickup Service). Xe’s Cash Pickup Service is made available through our international network of pay-out locations (Xe Correspondents).

3.2 If you select the Cash Pay-out option when making a payment through Xe’s App, Xe will make available a Contract Note which will be e-mailed to your authorised e-mail address and will include:

(a) a unique identifier number (to identify the relevant Xe Cash Payment and/or Trade at the selected Xe Correspondent’s store or agency);

(b) information relating to the Beneficiary;

(c) the amount of the Xe Cash Payment;

(d) the value date of the Xe Cash Payment;

(e) Xe’s Exchange Rate (where applicable);

(f) any additional fees or charges (as applicable); and

(g) Xe Correspondent’s country location.

3.3 We may, at any time and at our sole discretion, amend the contents or format of our Contract Note from time to time for formatting, marketing, regulatory, legal and/or other business reasons.

IMPORTANT: While Xe will try to ensure the funds are available for collection by the Beneficiary at the selected Xe Correspondent’s location on the date of the transaction and during the hours of operation of the Xe Correspondent, transfers may be subject to delay due to circumstances outside Xe’s control, such as exceeding account limitations, regulatory requirements, bank or public holidays or other conditions in the destination country. Therefore, Xe makes no representation regarding the exact time when the funds will be available for collection by the Beneficiary.

4. Charges & Fees

4.1 We may deduct bank charges and fees from your Xe Account in respect of any Cash Payment executed by Xe on your behalf.  We may also charge you a transfer fee, in an amount specified on Our Website (or the relevant Contract Note), which may be subject to change from time to time at Xe’s sole discretion.

5. Transaction Thresholds & Limitations

5.1 Supported currencies and associated limits for Xe’s Cash Pickup Service are contained on Our Website here. We may also (without notice), from time to time, set or alter limits on the value and/or types of Cash Payments that we may enter into with you. The applicable limits will be made available on Our Website or Our App.  

6. Your Information

6.1 You agree to provide all information reasonably required by Xe and/or Xe Correspondents to comply with applicable AML and CTF Laws. Xe will not be obliged to complete any Trade or Xe Cash Payment or offer Cash Pay-out where it considers, in its discretion, insufficient information has been provided or under any of the circumstances listed in Xe’s Terms (as amended from time to time). Please read Xe’s Privacy Policy here. 

7. Limitation of Liability

7.1 Except as otherwise required by law, Xe and/or Xe Correspondent liability is limited to Cash Payment amount showing on the face of your receipt for your money transfer transaction, including any service fee by Xe and/or Xe Correspondent. Except as provided in the previous sentence, in no event shall Xe and/or Xe Correspondent be liable to you or any party for any damages including without limitation, any direct, indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of programs or information, or loss of savings), or any other damages arising - in any way, shape or form - out of the availability, use, reliance on, or inability to utilize the service, or the late delivery or non-delivery of your payment order, messages or refunds even if Xe and/or Xe Correspondent shall have been advised of the possibility of such damages, and regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the above exclusions of incidental and consequential damages may not apply to you, but shall apply, in any event, to the maximum extent legally possible. No person is authorized to alter or waive the terms of this agreement on Xe and/or Xe Correspondent behalf.
