We may act on an Order from, or purporting to be from, You or the Users, until We have received prior written notice to the contrary and a reasonable opportunity to act on such notice. Any reference to the means by which We may receive an Order from You or Users includes, but shall not be limited to those means set out at 5.2.</li> </ul> 6. Concluding a Payment Transaction <ul> <li>6.1. Your Order constitutes an invitation from You for Us to negotiate a Payment Transaction with You. Our response to Your Order (by the means set out at Clause 6.2) represents a legal offer from Us for You to enter a Payment Transaction subject to certain conditions set out in the offer. This offer must be accepted by You, following which the Contract is formed subject to these Terms and Conditions. Confirmation of the Contract shall be emailed to You (the “Booking Confirmation”) by Us after the Contract has been formed.</li> <li>6.2. This Contract can be concluded by following the means of placing an Order set out at Clause 5.2, though We reserve Our right to engage with You by whatever means We deem most appropriate in concluding the Contract. In each instance, Your acceptance, by whatever means, serves as Your acceptance these Terms and Conditions as governing the offer made by Transfermate to enter the Contract for a Payment Transaction.</li> <li>6.3.

Payment Transactions are subject to a minimum and maximum transaction value determined by Us, and We may decline to negotiate an Order which falls outside of these value points, notwithstanding that prior Orders of equivalent value were not declined. and</li> <li>6.3.3. We may notify You of Our refusal to negotiate an Order without giving any reason. We will have no liability to You as a result of doing so. </li> </ul> </li> <li>6.4. Cancellation of Payment Transactions: <ul> <li>6.4.1. In the event of Your having formed a Contract with Us in error, You are advised to contact Us immediately on receipt of the Booking Confirmation requesting the Contract to be cancelled. Any loss arising on such cancellation will be charged to You and payable by You, and there may be additional cancellation fees attaching to Your request as set out in the Standard Fee Schedule or otherwise negotiated.</li> </ul> </li> <li>6.5. Non-execution or Delays in Payment Transactions: <ul> <li>6.5.1. Notwithstanding the formation of a Contract, We hereby reserve a contractual right to delay or not to complete the execution of the Payment Transaction in instances where: <ul> <li>6.5.1.1. abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances beyond Our control or prohibit or limit Us executing the Payment Transaction;</li> <li>6.5.1.2. legal obligations covered by applicable laws and regulations make the execution of the Payment Transaction a potentially illegal or non-compliant action;</li> <li>6.5.1.3. Our Anti-Money Laundering Policy requires so, or where any requirement under our Anti-Money Laundering Policy cannot be met to Our satisfaction;</li> <li>6.5.1.4. due to the automation of the Transaction Service, errors in quoted rates may have occurred leading to the provision to You of erroneous rates at the time of placing the Order. or</li> <li>6.5.1.5. errors, inaccuracies or omissions in Your Order may mean that a Payment Transaction cannot be completed (meaning Our making the Final Transfer) as scheduled.</li> </ul> </li> <li>6.5.2. We shall endeavour to inform You as soon as possible in the event of non-execution of the Payment Transaction as set out in Clause 6.5.1 and in any event no later than the next Business Day, together with the reason for the failure unless We are prevented (in our sole discretion) from disclosing same to You. We shall endeavour to complete the Payment Transaction if the impediment preventing execution can be removed, or where applicable, when the errors, inaccuracies or omissions are corrected.</li> <li>6.5.3. Where the provisions of Clause 6.5.1 lead to the non-completion of or a delay in execution of a Payment Transaction, any commitments provided by Us as to the timing of making the Final Transfer may be adversely impacted, and therefore We accept no liability for the non-completion of, or a delay to completing, a Payment Transaction.</li> </ul> </li> <li>6.6. Effecting the Lodgement: <ul> <li>6.6.1. Under these Terms and Conditions which govern the Contract, You are legally obliged to complete the Lodgement of the agreed amount with the Booking Reference within 2 Business Days of the date on which the Contract is entered (the “Settlement Date”). Accordingly, this Contract is suitable only if You are able to deliver, on or before the Settlement Date, the Lodgement in the currency/funds You have agreed to buy from Us.</li> <li>6.6.2. Delivery of the Lodgement shall be by use of one of the two methods set out at Clause 7. Under no circumstances shall We accept a Lodgement by any other means, even if We have previously permitted such alternative means of making a Lodgement.</li> <li>6.6.3. A failure by You to make the Lodgement in full and by the Settlement Date is a breach of the Contract, in which event We will close out the Contact at its then prevailing market rates and any loss or costs incurred by Us as a result of Your contractual breach shall be recoverable in full from You on demand by Us, including additional cancellation fees attaching to Your request as set out in the Standard Fee Schedule or otherwise negotiated. Late or incomplete settlement shall incur default interest on the total amount due, at a compound rate of 5% per annum, calculated daily and payable to Us on the date payment is made.</li> </ul> </li> <li> 6.7. Processing the Final Transfer: <ul> <li>6.7.1. The time at which We receive the Lodgement in cleared funds in the Nominated Account determines the time at which We can process the Payment Transaction. Same Day Processing is possible in respect of certain currency transfers and dependent on applicable time zones, however We undertake that We shall process the Payment Transaction and make the Final Transfer no later than the next Business Day following the receipt of the Lodgement in cleared funds.</li> <li>6.7.2. The amount credited by way of Final Transfer to the Beneficiary will be net of fees, charges, commissions and any interest due.</li> </ul> </li> <li>6.8. A confirmation of the Final Transfer (the “Payment Confirmation”) will be issued to Your nominated email address. If You do not receive a Payment Confirmation within 24 hours of the date on which the Lodgement is made or within 4 Business Days from the date of the Contract was entered, You are obliged to contact Us. The Payment Confirmation will detail (where applicable): <ul> <li>6.8.1. the Booking Reference, which enables You to identify the Payment Transaction, which shall also be provided to the Beneficiary unless You expressly request Us not to make such disclosure. By hereby permitting such disclosure, You agree to hold Us harmless for any damage or loss suffered by You resulting from enquiries from the Beneficiary or any holder of the Booking Reference. We represent and warrant that We will exercise ordinary care in releasing this information.</li> <li>6.8.2. the date on which the Payment Transaction was effected;</li> <li>6.8.3. the value date of the Payment Transaction;</li> <li>6.8.4. a breakdown of the fees and charges payable by You;</li> <li>6.8.5. the exchange rate used and the amount of the Final Transfer after the currency conversion. and</li> <li>6.8.6. additional and further information as may be requested by You subject to an additional charge.</li> </ul> </li> <li>6.9. Upon You becoming aware of any unauthorised or incorrectly executed Payment Transaction, You must notify Us without delay. Where We establish that the Payment Transaction was erroneously effected by Us, We shall refund to You, the amount of the erroneous Payment Transaction plus any charges thereon.</li> <li>6.10. You irrevocably agree that We may retain any Lodgements transmitted to Us pursuant to these Terms and Conditions if We learn that there is a suspicion that You may have breached any laws or regulations, or if We are required to do so by any legal or regulatory authorities. Such retained Lodgements shall not bear interest against Us.</li> </ul> 7. Funding the Transfermate Nominated Account <ul> <li>7.1. By Wire Transfer or Electronic Funds Transfer: <ul> <li>7.1.1. The default mechanism by which You are expected to make the Lodgement is by payment of a wire transfer or electronic funds transfer in the currency agreed.</li> <li>7.1.2. We will provide You with the requisite details of the Transfermate Nominated Account at the time at which the Contract is agreed, and it is Your obligation to ensure You use the correct Transfermate Nominated Account.</li> </ul> </li> <li> 7.2. By Direct Debit (‘DD’) or Automated Clearing House (‘ACH’) payments:</li> <ul> <li>7.2.1. This option is not available to You if You are a Sole Trader or personal customer.</li> <li>7.2.2. In certain regions (as may be notified to You at the time of placing the Order) it is an option for You to make the Lodgement by way of DD/ACH payment, however We are under no obligation to provide You with this option and require that You make at least one transfer by the means set out at Clause 7.1.</li> <li>7.2.3. It is imperative that You ensure that all details supplied by You on the direct debit mandate agreements or ACH equivalent (the “Mandate”) are correct and valid, and that only authorised signatories on the Your Funding Account have signed this Mandate, and confirm You shall indemnify Us for any losses incurred by Us as a result of errors made by You on the mandate.</li> <li>7.2.4. You are obliged to ensure that (1) there are sufficient funds in Your Funding Account to meet the direct debit payment and (2) sufficient funds remain in Your Funding Account until the direct debit has cleared and settled in to the TransferMate Nominated Account. If a Lodgement by way of DD/ACH does not reach Transfermate Nominated Account due to insufficient funds or for any other reason, You must then complete the Lodgement by way of wire transfer to Us so that the Lodgement is not delayed. Transfermate shall never facilitate a shortfall from You, nor do we offer any credit facility where You are delayed in completing a Lodgement.</li> <li>7.2.5. We reserve the right to revoke the option of making Lodgements by DD/ACH payments where any DD/ACH payment made by You is reversed from the Transfermate Nominated Account.</li> <li>7.2.6. We reserve the right to limit the amount of funds to be taken by Mandate.</li> <li>7.2.7. If a DD Mandate is inactive for a period of 9 months or more, We reserve the right to deactivate the option to pay by DD/ACH without prior notice to You or to request You to update the Mandate.</li> <li>7.2.8. In order to cancel a Mandate, You must contact Your bank to cancel. Transfermate cannot do this on Your behalf.</li> </ul> <li>7.3. Other than by availing of the means set out at Clauses 7.1 and 7.2, no other means is available for funding the Transfermate Nominated Account. Specifically We do not accept cash, cheques or any equivalent. Any attempts by You to make the Lodgement by any such prohibited means shall be invalid under the Contract, causing a delay and potentially a breach of the Contract.</li> <li>7.4. Unless otherwise agreed with You, We do not have nor do We request, any access to the Funding Account and shall not unilaterally debit funds from Your Funding Account. You must initiate the Lodgement to the Transfermate Nominated Account.</li> <li>7.5. We reserve the right to reject funding from sources that We may reasonably believe or suspect may breach the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction, or that would meet the standards in Our Anti-Money Laundering Policy.</li> <li>7.6.You agree and acknowledge that We may refuse to accept or return any payment of money from a third party or from any account of a third party, and that Transfermate does not accept liability or responsibility for any loss, cost or expense incurred or suffered by You in connection with such non-acceptance or return, including because You are subsequently in default of your obligations to Us.</li> <li>7.7. In the event that We have completed the Final Transfer before receiving cleared and settled funds from You, including for example where a DD/ACH payment is reversed, a DD request is cancelled or a payment is disputed , You will be liable to pay Us the amount of the Final Transfer plus interest at the rate of 5% per annum.</li> <li>7.8. Transfermate is not responsible for any fees or charges that may be imposed by the financial institutions associated with the payment facilities You nominate.</li> </ul> 8. Reactive Payments <ul> <li>8.1. In certain circumstances We may contact You by email, or such other means as are open to Us (the “Collection Email”), on behalf of a third party (the “Biller”) who has requested that We provide You with an option to discharge an invoice (meaning for this purpose an invoice, bill or other contractual debt due to the Biller) by way of the Transaction Service. Alternatively, the Collection Email may be issued to You directly by the Biller. This Collection Email typically includes a link to a secure section of the Website (the “Portal”) and a request for You from, or on behalf of, the Biller to make a Reactive Payment in order to settle the invoice from the Biller;</li> <li>8.2. You are under no obligation to Us to make the Reactive Payment – this is a matter between You and the Biller. However should You wish to make the Reactive Payment, it is incumbent on You to ensure that You make it in the currency quoted on the Portal and a failure to do this shall result in the Payment Transaction being rejected, a potential breach of Your obligation to the Biller to discharge the invoice, and Your incurring additional fees and charges if We are required to perform an additional currency exchange. </li> <li>8.3. If You are satisfied to make the Reactive Payment, You are required to go to the Portal or take such other steps as specified in the Collection Email and complete the Payment Transaction by strictly adhering to the requirements detailed by Us on the Portal or within the Collection Email.</li> <li>8.4. You may be required to open an Account with Us in accordance with Clause 4 before making the Reactive Payment. We shall make it clear at the time of opening the Account whether the steps You are asked to undertake enable You to make a single Reactive Payment only, in some case without a foreign exchange element, or whether in undertaking the steps, You have effectively opened an Account with Us, enabling You to make full use of the Transaction Service.</li> <li>8.5. The options available to You as to how You make the Reactive Payment shall vary according to the instructions of the Biller, the applicable currency and Your location. We make no warranty or commitment as to the specific steps required to make a Reactive Payment. These shall be explained on the Portal and/or the Collection Email.</li> </ul> 9. Charges, Interest and Exchange rates <ul> <li>9.1. The current charges, interest and other fees, applicable to the Transaction Service are set out the Standard Fee Schedule.</li> <li>9.2.

The then in force Standard Fee Schedule shall apply to each Contract You enter with Us, however a Contract already entered will not be impacted if changes to the Standard Fee Schedule take effect after the date the Contract is entered.</li> </ul> 10.Communications, Users Access and Security <ul> <li>10.1. Communications: <ul> <li>10.1.1. All communications between You (and where the context so permits, Your User) and Us shall be by email or telephone.

Telephone calls (which for this purpose includes calls on fixed landlines, Skype calls or mobile lines) with You are typically recorded to protect both Your and Our own interests in the event of a dispute and You consent to such recordings being made. For technical reasons it is not always possible for Us to record all telephone calls. The telephone recordings will, where available and once a transcript is furnished to You following prior request, be accepted as evidence of the instructions or communications recorded, and may be used as evidence in any dispute, action, proceedings involving the use by You of the Transaction Service. The absence of a telephone call recording shall not be deemed as detrimental in any such dispute, and in such circumstances, We are entitled to rely on an undisputed Booking Confirmation.</li> </ul> </li> <li>10.2. User Set Up and Monitoring: <ul> <li>10.2.1. Before getting access to the Transaction Service, You shall notify Us of the Users that You require to be set up on the Transaction Service, unless You are a Sole Trader or personal customer, in which case it is understood that the only User of the Transaction Service shall be You, unless You place a request to the contrary. </li> <li>10.2.2.

By accepting these Terms and Conditions You are confirming that each User You appoint shall have all necessary authority to use the Account and the Transaction Service.</li> <li>10.2.6. Until You have provided notice to Us to the contrary, We may continue to assume that all Users have authority to use the Account and the Transaction Service and execute legal binding transactions with Us.</li> <li>10.2.7. You hereby indemnify and agree to hold Us harmless in respect of any loss incurred by a User entering into a Contract or other transaction contemplated under this Agreement.</li> <li>10.2.8.

Definitions: “You” or “Your” means a party who wishes to use the Transaction Service to facilitate Payers discharging Invoice(s), and includes where the context so permits, Your Users, Affiliates and authorised agents. “Invoice” means in this context an invoice, bill or other contractual debt which can be evidenced, which is owing to You and which is due from the Payer. “Invoice Reference” means the reference number specific to Your invoice, which We will give You, which will enable You, Us and the Payer to identify Your request for payment. “Payer” means a person, business or organization that is making a payment to You. “Portal” means the customisable website on which the Transaction Service is delivered to You. “Receivables Account” means the bank account held in Your name, which You nominate on the Portal for the receipt of the Final Transfer. “Receivables Transaction” means the process by which You ultimately receive funds from a Payer in accordance with Your instructions. “Virtual Account” means the account in which We retain the Final Transfer from You. 1. Basis for the Relationship <ul> <li>1.1. You confirm that You understand that in order for Us to collect funds on Your behalf pursuant to a Receivables Transaction: <ul> <li>1.1.1. You hereby appoint Us for the sole purpose of collecting funds from the Payer acting under Your express authority (known for convenience hereafter as the "Power of Attorney" but mutually understood as being an effective agency appointment which is not required to meet the execution formalities required in some countries to create a formal power of attorney);</li> <li>1.1.2. You understand that We have the power to issue a funds receipt confirmation on Your behalf to the Payer. and</li> <li>1.1.3. You understand that in the event that any actions of the Payer cause a loss to us (as specified below in Clause 6), You are legally obliged to make good that loss on demand from us.</li> </ul> </li> <li> 1.2. There is no legal relationship between the Payer and Us, and at all times We are engaging with the Payer as Your authorised representative, under the Power of Attorney. </li> </ul> 2. Creation of the Portal <ul> <li>2.1. To enable Us to conclude Receivables Transactions on Your behalf You must first create the Portal by: <ul> <li>2.1.1. complying with the Account Opening Process;</li> <li>2.1.2. logging into Your newly created Account with details provided during the Account Opening Process. and</li> <li>2.1.3. providing Us with such additional information that We may reasonably deem necessary during this process.</li> </ul> </li> <li>2.2. We shall notify You that the above steps at have been completed and provide You with the means by which You can access the Portal. You shall also be provided with administrative access to enable You to host, develop, design and maintain the Portal.</li> <li>2.3. Depending on the set-up and the means by which You access the Portal, You may have the option to: <ul> <li>2.3.1. upload Your company logo to the Portal which must comply with the parameters specified by Us at the time (including using a specific file type, size limit and dimensions). and</li> <li>2.3.2. create a unique URL (if required) which is neither a breach of IPR nor offensive or misleading.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> 3. Uploading Invoices and Concluding a Receivables Transaction <ul> <li>3.1. In respect of each Invoice, You shall upload some or all of the following to the Portal in the form specified by Us at the time: <ul> <li>3.1.1. the correct Invoice Reference;</li> <li>3.1.2. the currency in which You wish the Payer to pay Us the funds (please refer to Clause 6.1 and 6.2 for details of how You may be required to assume risk for the Payer concluding the transaction in this currency);</li> <li>3.1.3. Payer details (this should be done once and We shall retain these on file for future Receivables Transactions);</li> <li>3.1.4. outstanding amount to be paid and Invoice due date;</li> <li>3.1.5. confirmation on whether, following receipt of funds from the Payer, You want Us to retain the funds in a Virtual Account or transfer them to a specified Receivables Account. and</li> <li>3.1.6. such other information as may be required from You to enable Us process the Receivable Transaction.</li> </ul> </li> <li>3.2. Your uploading of the information at Clause 3.1 constitutes a request from You to Us to negotiate a Receivables Transaction with You in respect of the Invoice(s). The response to Your request may provide applicable exchange rates for each currency entered and shall confirm (to the best of Our knowledge but subject always to Clause 5) Our ability to process the Receivables Transactions. This response represents Our legal offer to You to contract with Us to enter Receivables Transactions subject to certain conditions and restrictions set out herein. This offer must be accepted by You, by approving the Receivables Transaction, following which a legal contract is formed between the You and Transfermate, subject to these Receivables Terms (the “Receivables Contract”).</li> <li>3.3. Our commitment under the Receivables Contract is to issue the Collection Email (as defined in the General Terms and Conditions) and to engage with a Payer on Your behalf is conditional on Your understanding that We: <ul> <li>3.3.1. have liberty to use whatever means We deem appropriate to carry out Your instruction;</li> <li>3.3.2. may require a copy of the Invoice for prior to completion of the Receivables Transaction, notwithstanding that We do not require this at from You when uploading the documents and information set out at Clause 3.1.</li> <li>3.3.3. do not pursue Payers beyond providing them with means of making a payment to You;</li> <li>3.3.4. cannot compel a Payer to participate in the Receivables Transaction;</li> <li>3.3.5. may conclude following a review of the Receivables Transaction, that We cannot accept funds from the Payer, whether for regulatory reasons or as a result of our risk appetite;</li> <li>3.3.6. act on Your behalf as a collection agent or similar mandated under the Power of Attorney, and only have a right to engage with the Payer while You authorise Us to do so, and as long as You do not revoke that authorisation;</li> <li>3.3.7. shall ensure that funds received from the Payer are lodged to the Virtual Account or to the Receivables Account (if applicable) in accordance with Clause 7. and</li> <li>3.3.8. shall issue receipt confirmation on Your behalf to the Payer on receipt of the Lodgement, stating that the Payer’s financial obligation to You is satisfied, provided that the Payer does not issue a recall as explained in Clause 6.3</li> </ul> </li> </ul> 4. Engagement with the Payer <ul> <li>4.1. Failure by You to notify the Payer of (i) Your reliance on the Receivables Transaction to discharge an Invoice and (ii) the impact to You of the Payer not making the Lodgement to Us, is likely to impact on the effectiveness of the Receivables Transaction. We do not prescribe the means by which such notification should be made by You.</li> <li>4.2. You may request that We send Payers the Collection Email on Your behalf and provide them with the Invoice Reference in order that they can discharge invoices to You. In such a scenario, We shall always need You to upload the Invoice.</li> <li>4.3. You have the option of requesting that Your Portal’s URL is attached to the Collection Email, by inter-alia adding it to the invoice(s) template from Your accounting software. In addition, You have the option of using Your logo on the Collection Email. These options shall be available to You to select on the Portal, however the options may not be possible on every Collection Email.</li> <li>4.4. As part of issuing the Collection Email, We will set out the means by which the Payer can comply with the Receivables Transaction, and any documentation required from the Payer in order to allow the Payer participate in the Receivables Transaction.</li> <li>4.5. If the Payer notifies Us that they do not wish to engage in the Receivables Transaction, You shall be updated within 2 Business Days of Our being made aware, and You may be asked to make good any loss caused to Us as a result (as set out in Clause 6).</li> </ul> 5. Limitations on the Receipt of Funds <ul> <li>5.1. The Portal is intended to contain a list of the countries into which We are able to send Invoices on Your behalf and also available the currencies. While We make reasonable efforts to manage this listing, We do not warrant that this listing is current or accurate.</li> <li>5.2. In some circumstances, We may not be able to collect from a country or in a currency notwithstanding what has been set out on the Portal, or We may be prohibited from dealing with a particular Payer as set out in Clause 3.3.5. We hereby reserve Our right to bring this limitation or restriction to Your attention after the Receivables Contract has been entered without incurring any liability on Our part, and as such Our ability to fulfil the Receivables Contract is conditional on Us being able to receive funds from a proposed Payer or from a Payer’s country or denominated in a specific currency from the time the Receivables Contract is entered until the funds from the Payer have been received by Us.</li> <li>5.3. In some countries there are regulatory or export restrictions on the frequency and value of funds that can be remitted from that country at one time in a single transaction. Transfermate continually monitors these restrictions and makes reasonable efforts to notify You prior to entering the Receivables Transaction where the limit may impact on our ability to perform the Contract. However where We are prevented by such restriction from performing the Contract, We shall have no liability to You for any loss or damage You may incur as a result. We shall notify You of the restriction and offer You the option to cancel the Receivables Transaction or amend the amount being sought. It is always Your obligation to be aware of the applicable laws and restrictions attaching to the remittance of funds from the Payer and the Payer’s country of residence.</li> </ul> 6. Your Legal Liability as a result of entering a Receivables Contract <ul> <li>6.1. If You, as part of entering the Receivables Contract, require Us to book an FX rate (for example to enable the Payer pay Us in the Payer’s local currency), then We shall be required to acquire currency in the event that the Payer commits to discharging the Invoice. This creates a legal obligation on You to ensure that the Payer makes the Lodgement to conclude the Receivables Transaction, and in the event that there is a failure by the Payer to make the Lodgement in full and by the Settlement Date, this shall be a breach of Your obligations under the Receivables Contract. In such event, We will close out the Order at its then prevailing market rates and any FX loss, costs or other damages incurred by Us (collectively a “Loss”) as a result shall be recoverable in full from You on demand by Us.</li> <li>6.2. In certain scenarios, as will be notified to You prior to entering the Contract, We acquire the currency immediately following the entry of the Contract, and in that event, even where the Payer does not make a commitment to Us to discharge the Invoice on the Portal, We may incur a Loss. This Loss shall be recoverable in full from You on demand by Us.</li> <li>6.3. The default means for Payer making a Lodgement are set out on the Portal and may be fixed by You prior to entering the Contract. Where the Payer is limited to making the Lodgement by wire only, then subject to Clauses 6.1, 6.2 and 6.4 herein, You assume no additional liability. However in the event that You determine that the Payer may make the Lodgement by way of Direct Debit / ACH or by credit / debit card, then there is a risk that the Payer may recall the funds from Us after we have made the Final Transfer to You, causing a Loss to Us. In such an event You agree to transfer the amount of the Final Transfer on demand from Us.</li> <li>6.4. You confirm that You have obtained whatever Payer consent is required in accordance with the applicable Data Protection and Privacy laws to permit Us to contact the Payers, and in the event that We incur a Loss as a result of Your failure to comply with these applicable Data Protection and Privacy laws, that You shall indemnity Us in full for that Loss.</li> <li>6.5. Late or incomplete settlement of any of the Losses set out herein, shall incur default interest on the total amount due, at a compound rate of 5% per annum above the prime lending rate for the time being in force, calculated daily and payable to Us on the date payment is made. </li> </ul> 7. Mass Uploads: <ul> <li>7.1. In addition to uploading single Payment Transactions as set out in Clause 2.1, You have the option to upload a batch of transactions (this capability is known as a “Mass Upload”).</li> <li>7.2. On request from You, We shall provide You with a template setting out the information required by Us to process a Mass Upload.</li> <li>7.3. You are required to follow this template and produce a statement listing the transaction requests for Mass Upload together with attaching invoice(s) in the following format. PDF, DOCX, XLS, subject to file size limitation as detailed on the Portal. Our requirements and supported formats may be modified by Us from time to time, and We reserve the right to notify You of any modified requirements during the Mass Upload process.</li> <li>7.4. We shall validate that the uploaded file contains the necessary information for Mass Uploads, engage with You where there are errors on the uploaded file, and confirm details of the successful Mass Upload when applicable.</li> <li>7.5. The payment request can be authorised and the Payer contacted once You authorise same by way of tick box confirmation.</li> </ul> 8. Receiving the Funds from the Payer <ul> <li>8.1. On Our receipt of funds from Payer We shall provide You with email confirmation within 1 Business Day that a specific Invoice Reference has been discharged pursuant to a Receivables Transaction.</li> <li>8.2. Unless You provide Us with any instruction to the contrary with regard to these funds, they will be retained by Us in the Virtual Account, in the currency set on that Virtual Account. The decision to use a Virtual Account instead of nominating a Receivables Account is a matter for You and We cannot advise You on the wisest course of action for Your needs. There are risks associated with the use of a Virtual Account and You are advised to seek independent legal and financial advice should You wish to retain funds in a Virtual Account, in particular if You do not have a specific purpose in mind for the onward use of those funds.</li> <li>8.3. Following a specific request from You We shall transfer the funds into Your Receivables Account. You may make this request while the funds are in the Virtual Account or prior to the Payer making the Lodgement. We shall make this transfer within 1 to 2 Business Days of receiving the cleared and settled funds from the Payer. The transfer into the Receivables Account shall specify the name of the Payer and the Invoice Reference to enable You identify the Payment Transaction.</li> </ul> Schedule 5: Security Guidelines Words not defined here shall have the meaning set out in the Transfermate Standard Terms and Conditions (here) KEEPING SAFE ONLINE: Logging On and Passwords: You have a responsibility to exercise reasonable care to prevent unauthorised access to the computer that You use to access the Account and Portal.
