Only valid payment methods specified by us may be used to complete payment, purchase, or remittance transactions. By placing an order for a transaction, you represent and warrant that (a) you are authorized to use the designated payment method and (b) you authorize us, or our affiliates, partners, and agents, to charge your designated payment method. If the payment method you designate cannot be verified, is invalid, or is otherwise not acceptable or available, your transaction may be suspended or canceled automatically. You agree to resolve any problems we encounter to proceed with your transaction order. No transaction will be completed before We receive the full payment amount owed by You as a result of placing an order with us.

 

Payout Method

 

The Designated Recipient will receive funds sent by You at the Expected Payout Method. Expected Payout Method means any available option in the destination country You identify when initiating a cross-border payment or remittance Transaction. The Designated Recipient will usually receive funds sent by You via bank transfer. The Designated Recipient may be able to elect a payout method that differs from the payout method You specify. You authorize us to honor the Designated Recipient’s election of payout method. Designated Recipients who elect a different payout method than You did may incur additional fees to access funds.

 

Special Terms for Bank Transfer as Payout Method

Where available, LibertyPay may allow You to select bank transfer as Payout Method so that the Designated Recipient can receive funds transferred by You in a bank account or a similar account owned by the Designated Recipient ("Account"). The Account provider may impose additional fees on the Designated Recipient for receiving the funds into an Account. Unless required by applicable law, LibertyPay accepts no responsibility to You nor to any Account holder, for any fees imposed by the Account provider. If the currency You select to send to an Account is not the currency in which the Account is denominated, the Account provider may convert the funds at its own exchange rate or reject the transfer. Designated Recipient's agreement with the Account provider governs Designated Recipient’s rights, liabilities, fees, and costs and the Account provider may impose its own restrictions regarding funds availability, limits that may be transferred to or held in Accounts, hours of operations, holidays, and other limitations. LibertyPay is not responsible for Designated Recipient’s Accounts that are closed, frozen, or otherwise disrupted. Neither LibertyPay nor its affiliates, partners, or agents endorse or recommend the services of any Account provider. IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR USERS CHOOSING BANK TRANSFER AS PAYOUT METHOD: PLEASE MAKE SURE THE ACCOUNT NUMBER, ACCOUNT PROVIDER DETAILS, AND CURRENCY SELECTED ARE CORRECT BEFORE CONFIRMING EACH TRANSACTION. IF THE ACCOUNT NUMBER OR ACCOUNT PROVIDER DETAILS ARE INCORRECT, FUNDS MAY BE SENT TO THE WRONG ACCOUNT AND WILL NOT BE RECOVERED OR REFUNDED BY LIBERTYPAY, ITS AFFILIATES, PARTNERS, OR AGENTS.

 

Payout Currency

Payouts will generally be made in the national currency of the Expected Payout Method. In some countries, You may designate a payout currency other than the local currency. However, the alternate currency You choose may not be available for all Expected Payout Methods. LibertyPay is not responsible for the exchange rate that will be applied if the Designated Recipient chooses to receive a currency other than the currency You selected.

 

Timing of Transactions

 

You acknowledge and agree that Transactions processed through our Services will typically be completed in minutes, but under certain circumstances your transaction may take longer to complete. For example, We may need additional time to confirm that We received the funds You transferred to Us using a Payout Method that does not settle instantly; to verify information related to You or another User; to prevent fraud or comply with regulatory requirements.

 

We do not make any representation or warranty that any Transaction can be completed, or that it will be completed within a particular period of time. Any estimate we may provide concerning the completion time for the Transaction is only an estimate and is not binding on Us. You understand and agree that We have no control over the actions of other Users, Designated Recipients, financial institutions (including User’s and Designated Recipients’ Financial Institutions) or other intermediaries, whose actions may prevent a Transaction from being completed or may delay its completion.

 

Cost of Transactions

 

You agree to pay LibertyPay the fees, rates, and costs for completing each payment, purchase, or remittance transaction via our Services as made available online, in-person, or in-store. Transactions will be created at the prevailing exchange rate on LibertyPay’s mobile app, website or physical location and will include fees listed in our mobile app, on our website, and at our agents’ stores. The exchange rate (as set by us), transfer fees, store fees, and other administrative fees (as set by us) may be changed without notice. Exchange rates and their related costs will fluctuate due to changing macroeconomic conditions and digital assets and foreign exchange volatility.

 

Payment of Fees, Rates, and Costs

 

You authorize Us, our agents, or our designated payment processor, to charge or deduct your Funds for any applicable fees, rates, and costs owed in connection with any payment, purchase, or remittance transaction you complete via the Services.

 

Additional Costs in Specific Jurisdictions

 

Certain countries and/or jurisdictions may impose a tax, fee, tariff, and other government charges and obligations on the Designated Recipient’s receipt of, or access to, transferred funds. If applicable, these additional costs will be deducted from the amount transferred by You for any payment, purchase, or remittance transaction.

 

Taxes, Tariffs, and Other Government Charges and Obligations

 

It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes, tariffs, and other government charges and obligations apply to the transactions you complete via the Services, and it is your responsibility to report and remit the correct amount to the appropriate government authorities. You agree that, subject to applicable law, LibertyPay is not responsible for determining whether taxes, tariffs, or other government charges and obligations apply to your transactions or for collecting, reporting, withholding, or remitting any taxes, tariffs, or other government charges arising from any transaction.

 

Refunds of Incomplete Transactions

Subject to applicable law, You will be entitled to a refund if LibertyPay does not, after receiving your funds, complete the payment, purchase, or remittance transaction as instructed by You or does not otherwise forward the money received from You to the Designated Recipient within 10 days of the date of its receipt.

 

Subject to applicable law, You will also be entitled to a refund if the Designated Recipient rejects Your funds from a payment or remittance transaction. In this instance, LibertyPay may charge You a fee to refund the net amount back to You, excluding all the amounts paid for tax, fees and/or tariffs related to the original and to the returned transactions.

The following provision applies only to transactions from California: RIGHT TO REFUND: “You, the customer are entitled to a refund of the money to be transmitted as the result of this agreement if LibertyPay does not forward the money received from You within 10 days of the date of its receipt, or does not give instructions committing an equivalent amount of money to the person designated by You within 10 days of the date of the receipt of the funds from You unless otherwise instructed by You. If Your instructions as to when the money shall be forwarded or transmitted are not complied with and the money has not yet been forwarded or transmitted You have a right to a refund of Your money. If You want a refund, you must mail or deliver Your written request to LibertyPay at 864 Spring St., NW, Atlanta, GA, 30308. If You do not receive Your refund, You may be entitled to Your money back plus a penalty of up to $1,000 and attorney’s fees pursuant to Section 2102 of the California Financial Code.”

 

Administration Charge on Unclaimed Refunds

Any refunds resulting from an incomplete payment, purchase, or remittance transaction must be picked up by You within one year after We notify You about the refund availability. Any amount that is not picked up by You within this time frame of one year will be assessed a non-refundable administration charge of up to fifty cents per month from the send date, not to exceed forty-two dollars, which will be deducted from the amount sent (or where such charge exceeds the maximum amount permitted by law, the maximum amount permitted by law).

The laws of the State of Georgia and the Federal Arbitration Act will govern all disputes arising out of or relating to the Services and the Terms of Service, regardless of conflict of laws rules.

 

Except as provided below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Services, these Terms of Service, or any aspect of our relationship (a “Claim”) will be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts.  “Claim” does not include any dispute in which either party seeks equitable or other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents (“Excluded Claims”).

Each party waives (as permitted by applicable law) any right to a trial by jury of any Claim. If and to the extent this agreement to arbitration does not apply to any Claim, such as with respect to an Excluded Claim, that Claim will be tried before a judge sitting without a jury.

 

Each of us may bring Claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative, or private attorney general action or proceeding. Unless both you and LibertyPay agree otherwise in a separate writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one Claim, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, class, or private attorney general action or proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only as necessary to provide relief required by that party’s individual Claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect other LibertyPay users. If a court decides that applicable law prohibits enforcement of this paragraph’s prohibitions on class, representative, or private attorney general actions or proceedings as to any Claim, then that Claim (and only that Claim) must be severed from the arbitration and resolved in court after all arbitrable Claims have been resolved, subject to your and LibertyPay’s right to appeal the court’s decision not to enforce this paragraph’s prohibitions. All other Claims other than Excluded Claims will be arbitrated.

 

Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the interpretation or enforceability of this class action waiver will be resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction. Other than issues related to the class action waiver, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this agreement to arbitrate, any part of it, or of the Terms of Service.

 

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by these Terms of Service. The AAA’s Supplementary Rules for Class Arbitrations will not apply. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The AAA’s rules will also govern payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees.

 

If you elect to seek arbitration, you must first send LibertyPay a written notice of your Claim. The notice should be to: [email protected] . The notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the Claim and (b) set forth the specific amount of damages or other relief sought.

 

You and LibertyPay agree that good faith efforts to resolve disputes often can result in a prompt, low-cost, and mutually beneficial outcome. You and LibertyPay therefore agree that, after a notice of a Claim is sent but before either you or LibertyPay commence arbitration against the other, we will personally meet, via telephone or videoconference, in a good-faith effort to confer with each other and try to resolve informally any Claim.

If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the Claim within sixty (60) days after the notice is received, you or LibertyPay may commence an arbitration proceeding by filing a demand for arbitration through the procedures described above. These Terms of Service bind the arbitrator. A form for starting arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s website at www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with the AAA in accordance with its rules and procedures, the party initiating the arbitration must mail a copy of the completed form to the opposing party.

 

The arbitration will take place in the county in which you reside or at another agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or LibertyPay may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you, LibertyPay, or both may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

 

The arbitrator will decide the substantive merit of all Claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all Claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different LibertyPay’s users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same LibertyPay user to the extent required by law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having appropriate jurisdiction.

 

Except for the waiver on class actions, if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this section is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this section shall still apply. If an arbitrator or court determines that the class action waiver is unenforceable, then this entire arbitration agreement will be unenforceable, subject to your and LibertyPay’s right to appeal the decision not to enforce the class action waiver.

 

If you are a new user of our Services, you can choose to reject the agreement to arbitrate in these Terms of Service by notifying us you opt out. You must send us notice that you intend to opt out of this agreement to arbitrate no later than 30 days after the date you accept the Terms of Service containing this opt out procedure for the first time. You must send your notice to: [email protected] .

 

If more than 500 claimants file materially identical arbitration claims against LibertyPay with the AAA, the arbitration agreement described above will immediately terminate and all parties must resolve their Claims in the state courts in Atlanta, Georgia or in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

 

Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence

 

These Terms contain the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings between the parties regarding the Services. Other than the agreement to arbitrate, these Terms do not alter the terms or conditions of any other electronic or written agreement you may have with LibertyPay for the Services or for any other LibertyPay product or service or otherwise. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any other agreement you may have with LibertyPay, these Terms will control.

The amended Terms will be deemed effective immediately upon posting for any new users of the Services. In all other cases, the amended Terms will become effective for preexisting  users upon the earlier of either: (i) the date users click or press a button to accept such changes, or (ii) continued use of our Services 30 days after LibertyPay provides notice of such changes. Any amended Terms will apply prospectively to use of the Services after such changes become effective. If you do not agree to any amended Terms, you must discontinue using our Services and contact us to terminate your account.
