C. Accessing the Application and Account Security

By using the Application, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years or older and of legal age to form a binding contract with Ria.

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Application, and any service or material we provide on the Application, in our sole discretion without notice, except as otherwise required by law. We will not be liable if, for any reason all, any part of the Application is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Application, or the entire Application, to users, including, but not limited to registered users.

You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Application and for maintaining the hardware and software noted in our Consent to Use Electronic Records, Notices and Communications in Section 1 above.

You are responsible for ensuring that all persons who access the Application through your mobile device or internet connection are aware of these terms of use, have agreed to the terms of use, and that they comply with them.

To access the Application or some of the resources they offer, you may be asked to provide certain registration, identification and authentication details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Application that all the information you provide to us is correct, current and complete at all times.

If you become a registered user of our money transfer service and you choose, or you are provided with, a user name, password, personal identification number ("PIN"), or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any third party.

D. The Service

Ria provides registered users of the service (each a "user") with the ability to initiate money transfers to designated recipients located in many countries around the world, over the Internet using a Canadian issued Visa® or MasterCard® credit card ("credit cards"), or a Visa® or MasterCard® branded debit card issued by a Canadian-based bank ("debit cards"), or user's bank account with a Canada-based financial institution ("bank account"). In order to use the service, you will be required to provide us with information necessary for us to verify your identity, to obtain proper bank card or bank account authorization, and to complete the money transfer in compliance with applicable federal, provincial and foreign laws and regulations. Recipient information and verification may also be required. When required by applicable law, money transfers will be reported to federal, provincial, local or foreign authorities. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current service, shall be subject to these terms of use.

For specific information regarding our service, please contact Ria's Customer Service Team at 1 844 377 5843

E. Currency Exchange

If you instruct us to pay out a money transfer to a recipient in a currency ("payout currency") other than Canadian Dollars ("CAD"), a retail exchange rate may be applied, in addition to any service charge appearing on the face of your receipt. 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 and/or the paying agent as revenue, in addition to any service charges.

The paying agent must pay out money transfers in the payout currency indicated in the money transfer payment instructions. If a recipient desires payment of the money transfer in a currency other than the payout currency, the recipient and paying agent must enter into a separate foreign exchange transaction to convert the payout currency into the recipient’s currency of choice ("foreign exchange transaction"). Such foreign exchange transaction is a separate transaction between the recipient and the paying agent only and Ria has no responsibility for or liability in connection with such foreign exchange transaction.

For further information about the payout currencies available in any destination country and/or through any particular paying agent on Ria's network of payout locations, consult the Application.

F. Payment Authorization

When you initiate and submit a money transfer transaction on the Application, you authorize Ria (or its designated agent) to charge your designated credit card account or debit your designated debit card or bank account for the amount of such money transfer transaction and Ria's associated service charge. You are responsible for ensuring that your designated payment method has sufficient funds or credit available for payment of your money transfer transaction. If Ria executes payment of a money transfer pursuant to your money transfer instructions and subsequently is advised that your designated credit card had insufficient credit available or your designated debit card or bank account had insufficient funds available, you remain liable to Ria for the full amount of any such payment of the money transfer by Ria and the Ria's associated service charge. You authorize us to initiate debit and credit entries to your bank account in connection with the money transfer service. You also authorize us to initiate credits and debits to correct errors. This authorization shall remain in full force and effect until we have received notification from you of its termination; you may revoke your authorization only by notifying us by telephone at 1 844 377 5843 or in a written letter sent to 3038 Hurontario Street, Unit 6/7, L5B 3B9 Mississauga, Ontario, Attn: Customer Service that is received at least three (3) days prior to the proposed effective date of the termination of authorization. You agree that all transactions authorized by you shall comply with all applicable federal, provincial and foreign law.

Money transfers that have been authorized by a user shall be processed only on the condition that the issuer of the respective credit card or debit card, or the user's bank, has authorized the corresponding charges or debits. Each user using the service acknowledges and agrees that Ria is authorized to charge the respective credit card or debit card, or debit the respective bank account, for the principal amount of the money transfer, the service charge, and any other applicable fees. The issuing bank for your credit card or debit card or the financial institution where your bank account is open may also have terms and conditions that apply to your use of the credit card, debit card or bank account (as applicable) and you must refer to such agreement(s) in order to determine user's rights, obligations and liabilities as a cardholder or account holder, which may include the assessment of cash advance or other fees. Money transfer receipts will not display fees assessed by user's bank or the issuer of user's credit card or debit card.

G. Services Charges and Additional Fees

In consideration of your use of the service, you agree to pay a service charge per money transfer executed through the Application. The service charge will be charged to the credit card, debit card, or bank account you identify as the payment method for your money transfer transaction. The service charge (in addition to any other applicable fees charged by us directly or on behalf of any Canadian federal or provincial governmental authority) will be displayed online for your authorization prior to submission of the 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 Ria, a money transfer may be subject to additional fees assessed by the Canadian government, the province 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.

H. Money Transfer Processing and Delivery Schedule

After we have verified your identity, received proper credit card, debit card, bank authorization and completed the screening for proper compliance with the various applicable laws and regulations, the money transfer is promptly made available to the designated recipient for pick up at a paying agent location, home delivery by paying agent to recipient’s home or office (available in limited destinations only), or deposit into recipient’s bank account in the destination country. The speed of payment of a money transfer varies depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the amount of the transaction, the restrictions of the destination country or point-of-payment (including without limitation the paying agent's hours of operation), and/or the accuracy of the information provided by the user. Money transfers will normally be paid to the recipient by cash or check (or a combination of cash or check depending on the availability of currency or other conditions existing at the point-of-payment).

I. Money Transfer Cancellations and Refunds

If you instruct us to pay a money transfer to a designated recipient and later request that we stop the payment of such transaction, we will need to check first with the paying agent to determine if the money transfer has been paid to the recipient. If we can confirm that payment has not been made, the money transfer will be cancelled and we will refund the amount of the money transfer, including the service charge. Your refund will be in CAD. All refunds shall be available within thirty (30) calendar days of the stop order or as soon as the refunds are returned by the paying agent and, whichever is first. For further information or to file a complaint, please contact our customer service team at 1 844 377 5843.

J. 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 user, you agree not to attempt to circumvent the parameters of the service by using a different debit or credit card or bank account, entering false information, or any other means. The service is offered exclusively for the personal money transfer needs of users. Any other use or attempted use of the service for commercial purposes, promotion of products and services, or other such purposes, directly or indirectly, by you or by a third party is prohibited.

The service available through the Application is limited to money transfers for a maximum amount of $2,999.99 CAD per user per calendar day following account enrollment. The maximum aggregate amount of money transfers per user during any rolling thirty (30) calendar day period is $7,999.99 CAD. Ria may establish any and all transactional restrictions applicable to money transfers in its sole discretion and may change such restrictions from time to time. We will provide you with any legally required notice, which we may post on the Application.

When you submit a money transfer, the paying agent is not required to accept it. You agree that you will not hold us liable for any damages resulting from a paying agent's decision not to accept a money transfer made though our service. 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, or to the original payment method, within thirty (30) days of the date we are informed that the paying agent has rejected your money transfer transaction.

If you provide us with incorrect recipient information, we will contact you to correct the recipient information or process a refund of your money transfer.

If you use your mobile device to make money transfers, you are responsible for any fees that your phone service provider charges, such as fees for SMS, data services, and any other fees that your phone service provider may charge.
