Pay4Me and designated service providers will process the payment and make funds available for receipt by the Beneficiary as described below.
2.2 Your use of the Application or the Service does not constitute or create a fiduciary or escrow capacity between you and Pay4Me. Pay4Me provides a payment service only; the funds that you direct Pay4Me to pay to your Beneficiary are not held by Pay4Me as a deposit or in escrow, and Pay4Me is not holding or processing your payments as a fiduciary.

The Service is generally available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, although there may be times when the Service is unavailable to you or your Beneficiary.

Pay4Me may from time to time set limits on the value of Payments you may send (both individually and over some time), as well as the value of Payments any Beneficiary may receive. Pay4Me may delay payments to allow us to determine that your Payments comply with applicable laws, regulations, or Pay4Me policies. Pay4Me has the right, without notice to you, to refuse to accept or pay any Payments that Pay4Me determines in our sole discretion may violate applicable laws, regulations, or our policies, including laws, regulations, and policies intended to help detect and prevent money-laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, and other abuses of financial services; if we accept a Payments and then determine that it may violate any such laws, regulations or policies, we may hold the Payments until such time that the matter is resolved.

In addition to the charges, Pay4Me will also show you the foreign exchange rate (that is, the rate at which your funds will be converted into the currency to be paid to your Beneficiary) applicable to your Payments before you send it. Pay4Me foreign exchange rates change from time to time. In addition to the charges you pay when sending a Payment, Pay4Me makes money when we convert the currency you send into the currency we pay to your Beneficiary.

Pay4Me and/or Pay4Me designated service providers will use reasonable efforts to provide payment in a form requested, but the Pay4Me Application is not obligated to provide payment options for a specific Payment. Depending on the situation and the availability of various payment options, payment may be made using credit to a mobile wallet, currency (cash), check, transfers, mobile money, money order, P2P wallet, gift cards, stored value card, credit to a bank account or credit card account, or by some other payment instrument.

If the customer does not agree to exchange such refunds at a rate at which the customer completed the initial order transaction or at a lower exchange rate as determined by the market but never at at a higher exchange rate the customer should have such refunds sent directly to them and not through Pay4Me as this terms of refund are not flexible. All refunds sent directly back to Pay4Me will be refunded in the original currency as paid by the customers less any administrative and handling fees of no greater than 1.5%.
