Dahabshiil Transfer Services Limited is a company registered in England and Wales. Our company registration number is 03538207 and our registered office is at 12 New Fetter Lane, London EC4A 1JP.

1. Understanding the Terms

1.1 Dahabshiil Transfer Services Limited owns and operates: (i) the Dahabshiil UK online platform which is made available via our website at https://dahabshiil.co.uk (“Dahabshiil UK Online Remittance Platform”) and (ii) the Dahabshiil UK online mobile phone application (“Mobile App”). References in the Terms to the “relevant Dahabshiil UK Online Service” means the services relating to the online transfer of money which we provide to you via, as the context requires, the Dahabshiil UK Online Remittance Platform and/or the Mobile App.

1.2 These are the terms and conditions on which, together with our Transaction Fees (as defined below) and exchange rates (available at https://dahabshiil.co.uk ) (“price list”), we provide the relevant Dahabshiil UK Online Service (we call these the “Terms”).

1.3 We provide you with:

1.3.1 access to the Dahabshiil UK Online Remittance Platform and/or Mobile App, in accordance with your Account Contract (see clause 2.6 for more information on Account Contract formation); and

1.3.2 the relevant Dahabshiil UK Online Service in accordance with a Remittance Contract (see clause 3.8 for more information on Remittance Contract formation), in order to make an amount of money available to a Beneficiary (this is called a “Remittance” in the Terms).

1.4 A “Remittance Request” is when you ask us via your Account to transfer an amount of money to a Beneficiary.

1.5 A “Beneficiary” is the person referred to as the recipient of the money in a Remittance Request you give us. If you wish to make a Remittance Request, you must be over the age of eighteen (18).

On occasion, to assist with these checks and to meet our legal obligation, you agree to comply with any request from us for further information and provide such information in a format acceptable to us.

2.3 When you register for an Account, you will be required to:

2.3.1 provide certain information (such as proof of identification, proof of address and your email address) and create a password as part of our security procedures. You must treat such information as confidential and you must not disclose it to any third party; and

2.3.2 click on the “I Accept” button in relation to these Terms and by doing so you agree to accept and be bound by these Terms.

2.4 You must provide true, accurate, current and complete information and keep it up-to-date. Failure to do so may result in your application for an Account failing and/or being rejected.

2.5 Please note that your application to register an Account is a request from you to us – we are under no obligation to accept your application and/or permit you to sign up for an Account. After you submit your application for an Account, we will consider your request after which you will receive an e-mail from us confirming whether or not your Account has been validly registered.

2.6 If we do accept your application to register an Account, a legally binding “Account Contract” shall be formed between you and us. As the Terms may be updated from time to time (see clause 16), the Terms that are live at the time that the Account Contract is formed shall apply to that Account Contract and accordingly shall govern your use of and access to the Dahabshiil UK Online Remittance Platform and/or Mobile App and your Account. If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms, you must not access or use the relevant Dahabshiil UK Online Service, the Dahabshiil UK Online Remittance Platform or the Mobile App.

2.7 For the avoidance of doubt, these Terms will govern your use of and access to the Dahabshiil UK Online Remittance Platform and/or Mobile App even if you do not have active Remittances in-progress (see clause 3.8 for more information on Remittance Contract formation).

2.11 You may terminate your Account Contract by closing down your Account at any time by contacting us or by selecting the option within your Account, but please note that this will not4 cancel or affect any ongoing Remittance or Remittance Contract, and it will not relieve you from your responsibility to pay any sums due to us in connection therewith.

2.12 We may also terminate the Account Contract between you and us in accordance with clause 15. Any terms and conditions of your Account Contract that are intended by their nature to survive the termination of that Account Contract shall so survive.

2.13 You can fund a Remittance using the “pay by bank” function which allows you to use our regulated partner to send us funds by bank account transfer. If you select such payment method, you will be required to review and agree to the terms of our regulated partner when making the Remittance Request.

3. Submitting a Remittance Request, and Basis of Remittance Contract

3.1 After you have registered an Account and you have a valid Account Contract in place, you may submit a Remittance Request in accordance with the directions set out on either the Mobile App or the Dahabshiil UK Online Remittance Platform (as applicable) or as otherwise provided by us.

3.2 Any Remittance Request given to us must contain complete and accurate information (including your selected pay-out method and associated details) and instructions relating to the Remittance that are necessary to enable us to make the Remittance in accordance with the Terms. If you do not do this, and, as a result, we cannot complete the Remittance, we may cancel the Remittance (in which case we will try to help if we can to refund you the Remittance amount but not the Transaction Fees you paid to us – the Transaction Fees are non-refundable in this case because you are required to pay for the relevant Dahabshiil UK Online Service that we have already provided in terms of concluding the Remittance Contract and preparing to issue the Remittance, up to the time of cancellation) by contacting you (by one of the methods as described in clause 1.7). Please check the Remittance Request is complete and accurate before submitting it to us. Please also review the Terms before submitting a Remittance Request.

3.3 We are required to comply with laws and regulations, including fraud, anti-tax evasion facilitation, anti-terrorism and money-laundering laws and regulation and you must provide us with any valid and current documents (including proof of identity, proof of address and proof of income) we require or request before we accept any Remittance Request from you.

3.4 You may only submit a Remittance Request from and on behalf of yourself. You are prohibited from submitting a Remittance Request on behalf of someone else, and you cannot enter into a Remittance Contract with us on behalf of another person.

3.5 Your Remittance Request constitutes an offer to us to enter into a binding Remittance Contract with you to make a Remittance on the Terms.

3.6 We are free to accept or decline any Remittance Request without needing to provide any explanation in terms of the decision taken in that regard.

3.7 After receiving a Remittance Request, we will either: (i) confirm our acceptance of your Remittance Request in writing (which might, without limitation, include an email) (the “Remittance Receipt”), or (ii) that we have rejected your Remittance Request in writing (which might, without limitation include an email). Please check that the Remittance Receipt5 accurately records the details of your Remittance Request and your understanding of the Terms.

3.8 If your Remittance Request is accepted and you are issued with a Remittance Receipt, then a legally binding contract shall be formed between you and us in respect of the individual Remittance Request (each, a “Remittance Contract”). As the Terms and the price list may be updated from time to time (see clause 16) the Terms and the price that are live at the time of the relevant Remittance Request will apply to that Remittance Contract and accordingly shall govern the Remittance in question.

3.9 For the avoidance of doubt, each individual Remittance Request (once accepted) shall form a separate Remittance Contract between you and us. We will assign a unique transaction number (“Remittance ID”) to each Remittance Contract and inform you of it on the Remittance Receipt. Please quote this Remittance ID in any subsequent communication with us relating to the relevant Remittance Contract.

4. Price and Payment under Remittance Contract

4.1 The amount of any Remittance shall always be paid by you to us in pounds sterling. The Remittance amount will be made available to the Beneficiary in US Dollars or its local currency (as applicable) which we will determine (in our sole discretion) and notify you of when you submit the Remittance Request.

4.2 Please note that: 4.2.1 we will charge you certain transaction fees/charges for the Remittance in accordance with clause 4.4 (“Transaction Fees”); and additionally 4.2.2 an exchange rate will always be applied to convert the amount of the Remittance from the currency you use to make your payment to us (which will always be pounds sterling) to either US Dollars or the local currency of the Beneficiary (as applicable, and as determined in accordance with clause 4.1) in accordance with clause 4.5. The application of the exchange rate may change the amount of the final Remittance.

4.3 The price list will change from time to time. Please review the price list prior to submitting the Remittance Request for details of the percentage rate for Transaction Fees that we will apply to calculate the Transaction Fees and for details of the exchange rate we may apply.

4.4 Transaction Fees 4.4.1 The amount of any Transaction Fees shall be paid by you to us in pounds sterling. 4.4.2 The Transaction Fees charged for the Remittance will be either a flat/fixed fee or calculated using the percentage rate for fees (“fee rate”) as applicable to the Remittance amount as set out in our price list on the date and or at the time that the Remittance Request is submitted. 4.4.3 The percentage rate in respect of Transaction Fees is updated from time to time but the rate that applies on the date or at the time of the Remittance Request will apply to that particular Remittance.

4.5 Exchange rate6 4.5.1 For each Remittance, we will apply an exchange rate to convert the amount of the Remittance from pounds sterling to either US Dollars or the local currency (as applicable, and as determined in accordance with clause 4.1). The exchange rate that will apply to the Remittance will be the rate set out in our price list on the date or at the time that the Remittance Request is submitted.

5. Remittance Contract Cancellation

5.1 If you wish to amend or cancel a Remittance Contract, you should contact us via the agreed methods as described in clause 1.7.

5.2 If the Remittance has been collected by the Beneficiary or has been sent to the Beneficiary’s bank account or has been sent to the electronic device or service that facilities money transfers (an “e-payment”), amendment or cancellation of the Remittance Contract will not be possible.

5.3 If the Remittance has not been collected by the Beneficiary or has not been sent to the Beneficiary’s bank account or an e-payment has not been made: 5.3.1 if you have requested a cancellation, we will try to help if we can to cancel the Remittance, in which case we will refund you the Remittance amount but not the Transaction Fees you paid to us (the Transaction Fees are non-refundable in these circumstances because you are required to pay for the relevant Dahabshiil UK Online Service that we have already provided in terms of concluding the Remittance Contract and preparing to issue the Remittance, up to the time you cancel) and any reasonable fees for tracing, recalling or cancelling the Remittance; or 5.3.2 if you have requested an amendment, we will try to help you if we can to amend the Remittance, in which case: 5.3.2.1 the previous Remittance (and associated Remittance Contract) will be cancelled; 5.3.2.2 you will provide a new Remittance Request and a new Remittance Contract will be formed between you and us in accordance with clause 3 of these Terms; and 5.3.2.3 any amount previously paid by you to us as Transaction Fees will be applied towards any Transaction Fees due in respect of the new Remittance Contract, provided that we will not be obliged to refund any amounts of Transaction Fees you have previously paid us (the Transaction Fees are non-refundable in these circumstances because you are required to pay for the relevant Dahabshiil UK Online Service that we have already provided in terms of concluding the Remittance Contract and preparing to issue the Remittance up to the time you cancel).

5.4 If a Remittance Contract cancellation is initiated by us: 5.4.1 because we are not able to comply with the Terms or complete the Remittance due to commercial or legal reasons that are not connected whatsoever to any breach or default by you, then we will refund you the Transaction Fees you paid to us as well as the Remittance amount. You agree that this refund shall be your sole legal remedy in this circumstance; or7 5.4.2 because of your default or breach under these Terms, then we will use our reasonable endeavours to cancel the Remittance and if we are able to cancel the Remittance then we will refund you the Remittance amount but you will not be entitled to any refund of the Transaction Fees you paid to us (this is because you are required to pay for the relevant Dahabshiil UK Online Service that we have already provided in terms of concluding the Remittance Contract and preparing to issue the Remittance, up to the time that we cancel).

5.5 For the avoidance of doubt, any validly due refunds will be made in accordance with clause 12.4.

6. Remittance Contract conclusion

6.1 The Remittance Contract will come to an end once: 6.1.1 the Remittance amount: 6.1.1.1 is collected by the Beneficiary (in person); or 6.1.1.2 has been sent by us to the Beneficiary’s bank account or e-wallet; or 6.1.1.3 where possible, the Remittance Contract has been cancelled by you in accordance with the Terms; or 6.1.1.4 the Remittance Contract has been cancelled by us in accordance with the Terms.

6.2 Any terms and conditions of your Remittance Contract that are intended by their nature to survive the expiry or termination of that Remittance Contract shall so survive.

9. Payments to bank accounts or pursuant to an e-payment

9.1 If the Remittance Contract requires us to make: 9.1.1 a payment into a bank account of the intended Beneficiary you must ensure that you have provided us with full and correct account details for that account; or 9.1.2 an e-payment supported by us (including eDahab) you must ensure that you have provided us with the correct e-payment details (including mobile phone details) for the intended Beneficiary.

9.2 If we are charged any fees by a third party to process the payment of the Remittance into a bank account or e-payment (including any charges where the Remittance Request includes incorrect or incomplete details, including bank account or e-payment details, and such incorrect or incomplete details, including bank account or e-payment details, were provided by you), we can charge you those fees or deduct those fees from the Remittance. We will not be responsible or liable to you or the Beneficiary or any other party once the Remittance amount (less any appropriate deductions) has been paid into the bank account or an epayment has been made, each as specified in the Remittance Request, even if the Beneficiary then never obtains that benefit of the Remittance (for example due to default by the relevant bank or e-payment provider). We will not be responsible for delays if you provide us with incomplete, incorrect or inaccurate bank account details or e-payment details for the Beneficiary or if delivery is delayed for any reason outside our reasonable control.

9.3 We do not have any control over the time it may take for the Beneficiary’s bank or payment service provider to credit and make available funds to the Beneficiary.

10. Your responsibilities in respect of Beneficiaries

10.1 If payment is not made into a bank account or through an e-payment, you are responsible for ensuring that the Beneficiary collects the Remittance amount from our representative in a11 timely manner and in accordance with the requirements set out in clauses 10.2 and 10.3 below. The Remittance amount may only be redeemed once.

10.2 If payment is not made into a bank account or through an e-payment, in order to receive the Remittance amount the Beneficiary must provide the Local Payment Provider (as defined below) with a valid item of personal identification (as may be required by applicable law or as otherwise reasonably required) and the Remittance ID assigned to the corresponding Remittance Request. Local providers consist of a range of third parties used to enable payments to be made to a Beneficiary (“Local Payment Provider”). Where the Beneficiary attends the Local Payment Provider’s premises and requests payment into a bank account or requests an e-payment this may be able to be accommodated, subject to carrying out additional checks to ensure full compliance with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements. There may be other local legal or regulatory requirements applicable to a Beneficiary or a Beneficiary’s receipt of a Remittance. You acknowledge this and we will not be in breach of the Remittance Contract for following such procedures (including if the Beneficiary is unable to collect a Remittance because they have failed to comply with these requirements).

10.3 You must keep the fact of your making, and the amount of, a Remittance and any Remittance ID we assign to the Remittance Request confidential to you and the Beneficiary (and you must advise the Beneficiary to keep the Remittance ID confidential) and, where payment is not made into a bank account or through an e-payment, you must ensure that the Beneficiary is advised to collect the Remittance amount as soon as reasonably possible after it becomes available to be collected. In some jurisdictions, the accurate identification of individuals is not always reliable even with the exercise of reasonable skill and care, leading to the possibility of impersonation of a Beneficiary. Accordingly, if the Remittance amount is paid by the Local Payment Provider, in each case acting reasonably and in accordance with our standard policies and procedures, to a person other than the Beneficiary that the Local Payment Provider reasonably believes to be the intended recipient of the Remittance amount, we will not be required to refund any amounts to you or to require the Local Payment Provider to make any further payment to the actual Beneficiary.

10.4 You confirm that the Remittance is being used for lawful purposes. We may refuse to accept any Remittance Request or complete the Remittance for any reason until after we have checked your name and the name of the Beneficiary and you acknowledge that we may be obliged by law to (and shall be entitled to) confiscate any amount paid by you to us which represents the proceeds of crime or is intended to be transferred for unlawful purposes and pass it and your details to the relevant authority or to the person properly entitled to it.

10.5 For any Remittance that is to be collected in person by a Beneficiary, if the Beneficiary does not collect the Remittance amount within two (2) months of it being made available, we will use our reasonable endeavours to notify you that the Remittance amount has not been collected. We will try and contact you via one or more of the methods of communication set out in clause 1.7.

If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

17.5 We will use third parties to assist us in operating the Dahabshiil UK Online Remittance Platform and/or App, and in carrying out the relevant Dahabshiil UK Online Service. This does not affect your legal rights under an Account Contract or any Remittance Contract between you and us.
