3. Your Obligations

3.1 You agree that you will not access, use or attempt to use the Money Transfer Service to provide any Instructions unless you are at least 18 years old, and that you have the legal capacity to form a binding legal contract in any relevant jurisdiction.

3.2 You agree that for each Transaction Request that you submit, you will pay us the Service Fee in addition to the Transaction Amount. Payment becomes due at the time that you submit your Transaction Request. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service Fee is non-refundable unless expressly stated in these Terms and Conditions. If you submit a Transaction Request that results in dimoo becoming liable for charges including but not limited to chargeback or other fees, you agree to reimburse us for all such fees.

3.3 in connection with your registration and use of the Service, you will: (i) provide us with true, accurate, current and complete evidence of your identity, and promptly update your personal information if and when it changes; (ii) provide us with any identity documentations as may be requested by us; (iii) provide us with details of one or more Payment Instruments; (iv) provide us with true, accurate, current and complete information as we indicate on the website is required to receive the Service and any other information which may be required in relation to the Recipient; and (v) provide us with any other information that must be provided for a Payment Instruction to be properly executed, either when you are preparing the Payment Instruction on our App, or if we contact you for additional information relating to the Payment Instruction.

3.4 You must make every effort to keep your log in details safe and prevent unauthorised access to the Service by:
3.4.1 Changing your Password regularly and ensure that it is not reused for other services.

We guarantee you the Payout Amount in local currency. The margin taken on foreign currency exchange covers our risk in guaranteeing this. If a recipients’s account is denominated in a currency other than the currency you instructed us to make payment in there may be delays, additional charges or different exchange rates. the Sender 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.

You will be given the opportunity to confirm Payment Instructions before submission and you must check the details carefully. The total amount that you will be required to pay, including the Service Fee and the relevant exchange rate, will be displayed clearly on the App before you are asked to confirm your Payment Instruction

3.12 Others might impose taxes, fees or charges on you, e.g. for use of a particular Payment Instrument to fund a Transfer.
