When you make a Money Transfer, you are the Sender and are sending money to a Recipient. You will pay us the amount you want to send to the Recipient (the Transfer Amount) plus any Service Fee we charge you. Your request to us to disburse the Transfer Amount to the Recipient is the Transaction. The amount that is paid out to the Recipient is the Payout, which is equivalent to the Transfer Amount in the currency you selected for the Recipient.
3.3 Trusted Recipients.
We will store information you provide us about a Recipient to allow you to easily make Transactions to that Recipient in the future and join your list of trusted Recipients. You must not make a Money Transfer to a Recipient who does something (or fails to do something) that would violate a material part of these Terms.
3.4 How to start a Transaction.
In order to initiate a Transaction, at the Transaction summary stage you must click “Send Money” or “Pay”.
3.5 Accepting your Transaction.
Because Transactions are a request from you to us to process a Money Transfer, we can accept or reject a Transaction for any reason. However, we generally only reject a Transaction for a good reason, such as if you violate your obligations under these Terms. A Transaction is considered valid if you provide us with all current, accurate and complete information we request about yourself, your use of Money Transfers and have paid us correct amounts and fees for the Money Transfer. If you provide incorrect recipient information as detailed under clause 3.6, we are not responsible for any losses caused by the incorrect information.
3.6 What recipient details are required to execute a Money Transfer.
The details are as follows:
- Full name of recipient,
- Physical address,
- Bank name, branch name and physical address,
- Beneficiary/recipient account number (including IBAN and Swift codes),
- Reason for transfer and reference,
- Payout method (if different from bank account, i.e. cash collection from bank branch/post office etc).
3.7 Processing the Transaction.
We will process valid Transactions on a Business Day as soon as possible. A Business Day is any day (except for Saturday, Sunday and holidays) when banks in the United Kingdom are open to the public for business. We will try to inform you of when the Transaction should be completed (which may be within hours of us receiving a Transaction and is usually no later than the end of the following Business Day).
3.8 What your Recipient may need to do.
Recipients may need to prove their identities to the Financial Institution before they can receive a Payout. They can do this by showing valid identification and the reference number or other identifier for the Transaction, however this will depend on what the Recipient’s Financial Institution needs.
3.9 When a Transaction is considered complete.
Your Recipient may need to complete identity checks with their local bank or other third party outlet (a Financial Institution), before they can claim their Payout. Once a Financial Institution receives the Payout, they are usually required to make it available to the Recipient immediately once they are open for business. Depending on how you want your Recipient to receive the Payout, a Transaction is considered complete once the following happens:
- Bank deposit — your Recipient’s bank account is credited with the Payout.
- Mobile money — your Recipient’s mobile wallet is credited with the Payout.
- Cash pickup — your Recipient collects the cash Payout.
- Cash delivery — the cash Payout is delivered to your Recipient.
3.10 How to cancel a Transaction.
You can cancel a Transaction at any time before it is completed by contacting us at support@cailora.com and providing us with information to help us identify the Transaction you want to cancel (such as the reference number, Transfer Amount and location of the Recipient). If the Transaction has not been completed, we will try to refund you the Transfer Amount and Service Fee for the Transaction within 3 Business Days of your request to cancel. However, a refund may take longer depending on the processing times of banks and other parties involved in the refund process. Please be aware that we may need to first confirm with the Financial Institution that the Transaction was not completed before we can provide you a refund, and you will not receive a refund if a Transaction has already been completed.
3.11 How you will receive a refund.
All refunds will be credited to the same Payment Instrument used to pay for the Transaction and in the same currency you paid us. Refunds will not be adjusted if there was a change in the value of the currency from the time you submitted the Transaction. If your Payment Instrument is no longer valid and we are unable to find a mutually acceptable solution to refund you, we will not be required to refund you.
4. Restricted Activities
4.1 Restricted Activities.
When using Money Transfers, there are certain activities that are not allowed because they might compromise the security and safe use of Money Transfers for other Cailora users. These are called Restricted Activities which you must not engage in, and are listed below:
- Using Money Transfers for illegal purposes, such as fraud, funding terrorism or money laundering.
- Using Money Transfers in connection with sexually oriented materials or services, gambling activities, or buying or selling tobacco, tobacco-related products, firearms, prescription drugs or other controlled substances.
- Abusing, exploiting or bypassing service usage restrictions we put in place.
- Making Money Transfers on behalf of someone else.
- Violating a material part of these Terms or other agreement between us.
- Creating an unacceptable risk of liability, credit or fraud to us or other Cailora users.
- Providing false, incomplete or misleading information that is important to your use of Money Transfers.
- Failing to cooperate in an investigation related to your use of Money Transfers (including if we think you may have engaged in a Restricted Activity).
- Having a Profile that is linked to another Profile that has engaged in a Restricted Activity.
- Accessing Money Transfers from outside of the UK or using an anonymising proxy or other tool which makes your use of the internet untraceable.
- Using a robot, spider, scraper, automatic device or manual process to monitor or copy our website.
4.2 Consequences for Restricted Activities.
If we suspect you have or are about to engage in a Restricted Activity or used Money Transfers in an unauthorised or fraudulent way, or if we believe that the security of your use of Money Transfers may be compromised, we can take any of the following actions:
- Close or suspend your Profile, Portal or your use of Money Transfers and stop you from using Money Transfers or our other services in the future.
- Delay, reverse, modify, cancel, decline or refuse to process a Transaction (and allow other payment service providers to do the same).
- Report relevant information (including your personal data) about you and your use of Money Transfers to a regulator or governmental or law enforcement agency.
- Claim monetary damages from you, if appropriate.
4.3 Notifying you in advance.
We will usually tell you in advance if we need to take any actions described above. However, we may need to act without notifying you first if there is a security concern or if it would be considered “tipping-off” under law. We will lift restrictions on your use of Money Transfers or allow you to re-register for them as soon as possible after the reasons for placing the restrictions no longer apply.
4.4 Your right to complain.
If we do take any actions listed above, you always have the right to complain about our decisions. You can do this informally by contacting us at complaints@cailora.com or by making a claim against us as described in your User Agreement.
5. Other rules and risks
5.1 Currency conversion and exchange rates.
We provide Money Transfers only in Egyptian Pounds (EGP). Our website will describe what exchange rate will apply, which you can check and agree to before you submit a Transaction. The exchange rate quoted to you will be locked in provided that we receive your full payment (Transfer Amount plus Service Fee) by 13:00 UK time on the same Business Day as your submission. If payment is received after this time, the rate applicable at the time of processing will apply and we will notify you of any change before proceeding. You will also be notified about the applicable rate in the Transaction confirmation notice.
5.2 Information about Financial Institutions.
We try to provide current information on our website about the location, availability and hours of Financial Institutions we deal with. However, this information might be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date if a Financial Institution changed it without us knowing. We are not responsible for inaccurate or incomplete information posted on our website.
5.3 Our rights to limit Money Transfers.
We may refuse to process a Transaction if we believe it is necessary to protect you or us, or if we are required to do so by law or regulatory requirements. We may also create new practices and limitations for Money Transfers, such as limiting the total amount of a Transfer Amount, either for all Cailora users or for a specific Profile. We will decide whether to implement any limits by assessing factors such as:
- Our risk assessment of your Profile,
- An indication that your Profile or Portal have been compromised,
- Your or a Recipient’s location,
- The information you provide us and our ability to verify it, and
- Legal requirements we have to follow.
5.4 How we protect your money.
To help send your money safely and quickly around the world, specifically to Egypt, we work with trusted partners and are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for UK customers. Your funds are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). However, we are required to protect your money at all times in accordance with the Payment Services Regulations 2017. We protect your money by following payment account safeguarding rules — so even in the unlikely event of Cailora becoming insolvent, or if we stop trading, you will get your money back. We maintain a banking instrument given by National Westminster Bank, London to ensure your money is both separate and refunded to you in the unlikely event that we become insolvent.
6. How we’ll handle issues
6.1 If you give us incorrect information.
If you do not provide us with correct, accurate and complete information as described above:
- We may not be able to allow you to change details about a Transaction after it is submitted but you can cancel a Transaction any time before it is completed,
- The Transfer Amount may go to someone else and it may not be possible to get it back from them,
- We will try to refund you the Transfer Amount but this is not guaranteed and we may need to charge you an additional fee for recovery, and
- We are not liable to you for any losses you might suffer from that Transaction.
6.2 Tell us if there’s a problem with a Transaction.
If you think a Transaction is unauthorised or was executed incorrectly, you must tell us within 13 months of the date we notified you that the Payout was available for the Recipient. If you do not notify us within this timeframe, we may not be able to assist you or issue a refund. When you contact us about this issue at support@cailora.com, please provide us with:
- Your name and email address,
- A description of the problem with the Transaction and why you think it is a problem,
- The name of your Recipient and, if you know, their telephone number or address,
- The Transaction amount, and
- The reference number for the Transaction which is on the receipt we provided you when we processed the Transaction.
6.3 Correcting errors with Transactions.
We will review this information within 90 days of receiving it and decide whether an error occurred. If we decide an error happened, we will quickly fix it and inform you of the results within 3 Business Days. If your concern is about an unauthorised Transaction, then we will investigate it and, if necessary, issue you a refund as soon as we can. If we decide there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You can ask us for copies of the documents we used in our investigation.
6.4 Refunds for unauthorised Transactions.
If an unauthorised Transaction is made because of our mistake, we will refund you the Transfer Amount and Service Fee. However, this refund is not available if you:
- Should have been aware of the loss, theft or unauthorised use of your Profile or Portal in which case you must pay the first GBP 25 of the unauthorised Transaction. However, you will not need to pay this if the unauthorised Transaction was caused by our (or a third party acting on our behalf) actions or failure to act, or processed after you notified us that your Profile may have been compromised,
- Act fraudulently, or
- Act with intent or gross negligence by failing to notify us without unnecessary delay about a security issue with your Profile or Portal. In that situation, you are responsible for losses you incur until the date you notified us.
6.5 What we are not responsible for.
We are not responsible for losses you suffer (including providing you a refund) that are not our fault, or happen because:
- Of an issue with our disbursement partner that provides the Payout to your Recipient, or
- We cannot process a Transaction because you provided us with incorrect information.
6.6 Why a Transaction might be delayed.
A Transaction might not be completed if:
- We need to verify your identity, find out more about your use of our Services, carry out fraud checks, or it is necessary to comply with laws and manage our financial risk. We will not continue with a Transaction until we are comfortable that these matters have been completed, or
- A Financial Institution needs to complete their own customer identity checks on the Recipient.
6.7 What happens to uncollected Payouts.
We will cancel cash collection Payouts if they are not validly collected by the Recipient within 20 days of when they became available. If it is possible, we will refund the Transfer Amount to the Payment Instrument you used for the Transaction, however our payment processing partners may require additional conditions to do so.
6.8 Tracing a Transaction.
If a Recipient receives a Payout later than expected, contact us and we can request information from the Recipient’s Financial Institution to correct the Transaction.
7. Paying for Money Transfers
7.1 Our Service Fee.
We will charge you an additional fee (our Service Fee) for the Transaction unless we notify you that it will not apply. We will tell you how much the Service Fee is before you consent to us executing the Transaction, so you can decide if you want to continue with the Transaction or not. If you agree, you will need to pay the Service Fee plus the Transfer Amount once you submit the Transaction. Our Service Fee will be in the range of 0–1.50% of the Transfer Amount or GBP 5 whichever is the higher, subject to a maximum transfer amount per calendar month of GBP 10,000 for individuals and GBP 20,000 for businesses.
7.2 GBP/EGP Exchange rate.
The exchange rate between Sterling pounds (GBP) and Egyptian pounds (EGP) will be advertised on our website daily and will only be the rate to purchase EGP for Money Transfers to Egypt against delivery of GBP to us by way of a Faster Payment to our account held at National Westminster Bank. The quoted exchange rate will be locked in provided full payment is received by 13:00 UK time on the same Business Day as submission. If payment is received after this deadline, the rate at the time of processing will apply and we will notify you accordingly.
7.3 How you can pay us.
You will credit our Cailora Ltd account, as specified at the end of your transfer request, quoting your Money Transfer reference supplied by Cailora. The amount due will be the Transfer Amount plus the Service Fee when you submit a Transaction to us.
7.4 Transaction execution.
We will execute your transaction by 15:00 hours local time in Egypt on the Egypt Business Day immediately following a UK Business Day, on the condition that you have lodged and we have approved your money transfer instruction before 13:00 hours UK time on the preceding UK Business Day.
7.5 Consequences for late payments or incorrect payments.
If there are not enough funds to pay the full amount of the Transfer Amount plus the Service Fee, we may do any of the following without notifying you in advance:
- Cancel or delay your Transaction,
- Effect a refund to your Payment Instrument (however this may not be possible), and
- Immediately stop or suspend you from using Money Transfers.
8. Other important terms
8.1 Terms that will still apply.
Any sections of these Terms that are necessary to enforce the purpose of these Terms after they have ended, will continue to remain in effect after these Terms end.
