We may ask you to provide us with certain information and documentation to enable us to carry out our checks, including verifying your identity. You may be required to provide additional information or documentation to verify your identity and the purpose of the Transaction. For example, in the United States, we may request your Social Security Number.

      All information provided by you must be complete and accurate. Failure to comply with our requests for information or documentation may result in the refusal of application for the Services or suspension or termination of the Services or Transactions.

      It is very important to keep us updated about any changes to the information provided as part of your application for the Services and any information and documentation submitted to us.

We will use those contact details to contact you wherever required under this Terms or in connection with the Service, including if we suspect or become aware that there has been fraudulent activity on, or a security threat to, your Instarem Account.

      4. all devices used by you to access the Services are appropriately protected from access by any unauthorized persons.

      Revealing the PIN or other security credentials to anyone, or behaving carelessly with regards to the security your Instarem Account may result in unauthorized transactions being processed using your Instarem Account. In these circumstances we will not refund any amounts lost by you as a result of such unauthorized transactions and you will be solely responsible for them.

      You agree to adhere to our Vulnerability Disclosure Policy when using the Services.

  3. TRANSACTIONS.
    1. Initiating a Transaction. To initiate a Transaction, you shall provide instructions to us to send funds to a beneficiary that, at the minimum, include:
      1. the identity of the beneficiary;
      2. the beneficiary’s bank account number;
      3. the amount and currency of the funds to be remitted; and
      4. any additional information as may be required by Instarem from time to time.

      You are responsible for verifying the accuracy of the beneficiary information. We may still rely exclusively on the bank account number you provide for the beneficiary. We have no duty to detect any inconsistency between the bank account number and the name.

      A Transaction can be in the form of:

      • Fixed Target Payment Orders: where you instruct us to transfer a specific amount of foreign currency to a recipient.
      • Fixed Source Payment Orders: where you instruct us to convert a specific amount of your local currency into a specified foreign currency and then to transfer the resulting converted amount to the recipient.
    2. Screening Transactions. We may screen all Transactions in accordance with applicable laws and our internal policies. We are not required to complete a transaction if the instructions you submit:
      1. contains, incomplete, incorrect, or outdated information;
      2. seek to send funds to any beneficiary located outside of the countries where Nium can provide the services; or
      3. seek to transact in breach of any provision of these terms, including the acceptable use provisions or Prohibited/Restricted Business Categories.
    3. Funding a Transaction. We may permit you to fund your transaction using the following methods, or any other methods supported by Instarem from time to time:
      1. Bank Account. You can use the Services to initiate a transfer from your bank account, or such other methods supported by Instarem from time to time. If we do not receive the funds within forty-eight (48) hours or such other timeframe indicated within the Services, your Transaction will automatically be cancelled. The bank account must be owned by you and must be a personal account (not a business or commercial account). We may cancel a Transaction if we are unable to verify you as the owner of the bank account.
      2. Payment Card. Depending on your country of residence, we may allow you to fund your Transaction using a credit or debit card issued by a licensed credit or financial institution (“Payment Card”). If we allow you to fund the Transaction using a Payment Card, you agree that you do not have the right to, and shall not, require us to provide you with a refund unless the Transaction has been recalled or cancelled pursuant to Section 3.7. Each chargeback will be deducted from any funds held by us on your behalf or any sum owed by us to you from time to time. This paragraph (b) survives termination of the services or these terms and conditions.
    4. Processing a Transaction. Instarem receives your instructions for a Transaction as soon as they are submitted on the App. Subject to these Terms, Instarem shall initiate the Transaction to a beneficiary in accordance with your instructions, provided that: (a) the Transaction instructions are complete; and (b) we have received the funds, including any applicable fees.

      If we elect, in our sole discretion, to process the Transaction before you have funded the Transaction, you agree you are responsible for providing the funds to satisfy the Transaction and will promptly provide the funds to satisfy the Transaction upon notice from us.

    5. Transactions to the United States. Transactions transmitted through an automated clearing house (“ACH”) (“ACH Transaction”) shall be subject to the applicable laws of the United States (“Applicable US Law”) and ACH Operating Rules (the “ACH Rules”) of the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”). You acknowledge that you have access to a current version of the ACH Rules. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, all capitalized terms in this subsection have the meanings assigned in the ACH Rules. You agree to comply with and be bound by the ACH Rules.

      When you submit an ACH Transaction to us, you assume the responsibilities of an Originator under the ACH Rules and authorize us and our ODFI Bank Partner (“ODFI”) to process your ACH Transactions on your behalf in accordance with the instructions you provide. You may not originate ACH Transactions on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any entity other than yourself, unless you have received prior written authorization from us or the ODFI to do so. You agree to obtain proper authorizations and maintain proper confidential records of such authorizations from the Receiver for ACH Transactions and to provide us with timely, accurate, and complete information as required by the ACH Rules. You agree that such records are confidential information, you will safeguard such information, and you will be jointly and severally liable with us to the ODFI for the failure to comply with such obligations.

      We may limit your ACH Transaction and we may establish exposure transaction limits related to the amount of ACH Transactions transmitted by you and we may review and adjust periodically. We or the ODFI may block or reject any ACH Transaction that exceeds a limit we have established and can reject an ACH Transaction if it does not comply with these Terms, the ACH Rules, or Applicable Law. You agree to provide information we or the ODFI may request from you to confirm your compliance with these Terms, the ACH Rules, and Applicable US Law.

    6. Canceling a Transaction. You may request to cancel a Transaction by contacting us through your Instarem Account. We will only process your cancellation request if the funds have not been initiated to transfer to the beneficiary in accordance with Section 3.4. We shall use reasonable efforts to stop or cancel the Transaction upon your request but does not guarantee that the cancellation will be successful. You authorise us to accept and rely on your cancellation request but agree we have no obligation to check the authenticity or accuracy of any instructions received from you and shall not be liable for any losses incurred or suffered by you or any third party for complying with such requests. Prior to submitting a cancellation request to Instarem, you shall ensure that all information is complete and accurate.
    7. Delayed, Incomplete, Cancelled, or Returned Transactions. Certain situations may require us to delay processing your Transaction(s), including if we need to confirm that the Transaction has been authorized by you, or if the Transaction requires additional verification checks or due diligence reviews. We may require you to provide additional information or documentation in order to process your Transaction. You agree to comply with any request from us for additional information or documentation, and to provide such information in a format acceptable to us.
    8. Declined Transactions. There are many reasons we may decline or prevent transactions to or from your Account, but we generally do it to protect you or us, or to comply with legal requirements. If we consider it reasonably necessary to protect our legitimate interests, we may delay, refuse, suspend, cancel, or recall a Transaction at any time and for any reason without notice or explanation to you as permitted by applicable law.

      You acknowledge and agree that we are not obliged to provide any Service or Transaction, and are entitled to suspend any Service or block or reject any Transaction, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that doing so would (a) breach any provision of these Terms; (b) breach any applicable laws or sanctions; (c) facilitate any Restricted Activity or any fraudulent activity; or (d) breach any Transaction limits.

    9. Unsuccessful Transactions. If for any reason, a Transaction is unsuccessful or not completed (including because it is cancelled by you), we will return the funds to you using the same method through which you funded the Transaction. Any funds returned due to a recall, cancellation or incomplete Transaction may be subject to charges and expenses and foreign exchange losses when converted at the prevailing exchange rate. We shall not be responsible for any charges, expenses or losses suffered in connection with such recall, cancellation or incomplete Transaction.
  4. Fees, Taxes and Currency Exchange Rates.
    1. Fees. We charge you a fee to use the Services (“Fees”). Our Fees Page shows our fees, which may include a Transaction Fee, Administration Fee, currency exchange, intermediary bank fees, and regulatory fees. The Fees associated with a Transaction will be displayed in the App before you initiate the Transaction.
      1. Transaction Fees. We charge a fee on every Transaction. The Transaction Fee is presented to you at the time you initiate the Transaction and deducted from the Transaction Amount prior to conversion. Transaction Fees do not include any fees that your bank or the recipient’s bank may charge. Those fees may be deducted from your deposit (in the case of your bank) or the delivered amount (in the case of recipient’s bank).
      2. Administration Fee. An Administration Fee may be incurred when your Transaction is refused due to incorrect payment details, regulatory requirements or any other reason. This Fee is in addition to any amount your bank or the beneficiary’s bank may assess. Any Administration Fee will be deducted from your Transaction amount.
    2. Taxes. You acknowledge and agree that the tax authorities of certain countries and/or jurisdictions may deduct certain taxes from your Transaction (“Taxes”). You may review whether any Transaction is subject to Taxes, through the Instarem Services. By confirming a Transaction, you agree to pay any Taxes in connection with your Transaction. You further acknowledge and agree that Taxes may apply to any remittance and are subject to changes from time to time and we are under no obligation to notify you of any such changes.
    3. Currency Exchange Rates. Where foreign currency conversion is required, Instarem shall apply the prevailing exchange rate as disclosed to you at the time you initiate the Transaction. The exchange rate may fluctuate depending on market conditions, so different exchanges rates may apply to different Transactions. The exchange rate to be used to convert your currency into the beneficiary’s currency will be displayed before you confirm the Transaction. By confirming that you wish to initiate the Transaction, you agree that the exchange rate as displayed to you shall be applied to your Transaction. You shall bear any risks associated with fluctuations in the relevant exchange rates when using the Services (e.g. if the Transaction is unsuccessful or not completed). If the exchange rate to be used to convert your currency into the beneficiary’s currency changes by more than 5% between the time that you initiate the Transaction and the time that Instarem intends to process the Transaction, Instarem reserves the right to cancel the Transaction, in which case Instarem will refund the payment amount using the same method through which you funded the Transaction.
    4. Confirming a Transaction. When you initiate a Transaction, you may review any Fees, Taxes, and currency exchange rates which may be applicable to your Transaction, before confirming the Transaction through the App. By confirming a Transaction through the App, you agree to any currency exchange rates and to pay any Fees and Taxes that are presented to you at the time you confirm the Transactions, as well as an amount equal to any other fees or other expense incurred by Instarem pursuant to these Terms.
    5. Set-off for Negative Balances. If your Account goes into a negative balance, including as a result of a chargeback, reversal of a transaction, deduction of fees or any other action carried out by you or a third party, that negative amount represents an amount you owe to us and you promise to repay the negative amount immediately without any notice from us. You irrevocably authorise us to set-off the negative balance with any funds that you subsequently add to or receive into your Account. We may send you reminders or take any other actions to recover the negative amount from you. We may charge you for the costs incurred by us in recovering such sums from you, and this may include costs of any third parties who support us in this process, for example, debt collection agencies.
  5. ACCEPTABLE USE; RESTRICTED/PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES
    1. Acceptable Use; Restricted/Prohibited Activities: You may use the Instarem Services only for lawful purposes. You may not use the Services in violation of these Terms or our Prohibited Business Categories, which provides circumstances where your use of the Services may be restricted or prohibited.

You should check the Prohibited Business Categories page regularly at https://www.nium.com/regulatory-disclosures/prohibited-business-categories.

    1. Unauthorized Transactions. You must promptly notify us in writing as soon as you become aware of any unauthorized transactions but no later than thirty (30) days after the transaction is completed.
    2. Investigations. We may investigate unauthorised and incorrectly executed transactions. We will have the right to investigate any transaction reported by you as unauthorized or executed incorrectly. We may ask you to provide us with supporting information and documentation to help us with our investigation and you agree to cooperate with us and provide to us all information and documentation we reasonably require for this purpose. You also agree to cooperate with any authorities involved in our investigation. We will treat any payment instruction given via the App as evidence of authorization of the payment, and in this case you will need to provide us with evidence to show that the transaction was not authorized in accordance with these terms.
    3. Refunds Due to Unauthorized Transactions. If we determine that your payment was unauthorized, we shall refund the payment amount including all fees deducted by us.
    4. When Will We Not Make a Refund? We will not make a full refund and you will be responsible for the unauthorized transactions, in the following circumstances:
      1. you have acted fraudulently, or we have good reasons to believe you have acted fraudulently;
      2. we are not notified by you about the unauthorized transaction, or we are notified after the 30 day deadline;
      3. we are not notified, or are notified late of any security issues with your account, about the loss, theft or misappropriation of any services. You will be responsible for all transactions that occurred before the date when you notify us and we will not issue a refund for any unauthorised transactions that occurred before we were notified;
      4. you deliberately or with gross negligence compromise the security of your account or fail to use any Services in accordance with these terms; or
      5. your Instarem Account or any Services was misappropriated (i.e. used by someone else).
    5. Can We Take Back the Refund? If, as a result of our investigation, we discover that the transaction was authorized and executed by us correctly, that you have acted fraudulently or that you have acted deliberately or with gross negligence (i.e. extremely carelessly), we will deduct from (a) funds held by us on your behalf or (b) funds provided to us as credit support for your obligations under these terms all sums previously refunded to you. If you do not have sufficient funds, we will make a request for immediate payment. You shall immediately transfer an amount which equals the shortfall to a bank account designated by Instarem.
  7. REWARDS

    3. Dispute Resolution.

      PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

    4. Arbitration Agreement. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of and relating to your access to and use of the Services and from these Terms (“Dispute”) shall be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, which is binding on you and Nium. Except as applicable, (a) you and Nium may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (b) you or Nium may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of these Terms as well as claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.
    5. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.YOU AND NIUM HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
    6. WAIVER OF CLASS AND OTHER NON-INDIVIDUALIZED RELIEF. YOU AND NIUM AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED.
    7. Arbitration Opt-out. You may opt out of this Arbitration Provision for all purposes by sending an arbitration opt-out notice to Nium at legalnotices@nium.com or mailed to the address of the Nium entity where you reside within 30 days of the date you first access these Terms. The opt-out notice must clearly state that you are rejecting arbitration; state the date you first accessed these Terms; provide your name, address, and social security number; and be signed by you.
  13. NOTICES AND CONTACTING US
    1. Notices and Communications. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, all notices and communications between you and us will be in English. If we need to notify you of anything, we will normally communicate with you through your Instarem Account. We may also use your email address to send you any notifications or communications.

      3. No ATM operator or cash withdrawal service provider acts as our agent. We are not responsible for any losses caused by any ATM operator or cash withdrawal service provider.

    4. Card Transactions. If a payment results in you exceeding your Available Balance, this will be deemed as you making a request to exceed your Available Balance. If we decide, in our sole discretion, to process such payment notwithstanding Section 6.1, all amounts exceeding the Available Balance are repayable to us immediately and you shall transfer an amount which equals the shortfall to a bank account nominated by us on demand.

      2. You represent and warrant that each individual for whom a Corporate T&E Card is requested is a bona fide employee of yours.

This includes, but is not limited to, any claims made by you or third parties asserting that the individual is not an employee of yours.
    5. Consequences of Misrepresentation. In the event that it is discovered that an individual for whom a Corporate T&E Card has been issued is not a bona fide employee of yours, we reserve the right to immediately suspend or terminate the Corporate T&E Card without prior notice.
  8. Return of Funds
    1. We will return any remaining funds provided to us for the purposes of the Corporate Prepaid/Debit Card (net of any amount or fees due to us and applicable bank charges or taxes) (“Card Net Available Balance”) to a bank account in your name within 60 business days of receipt of a request from you, but we are entitled to charge a fee for complying with such request.

  1. Amendments to the SME Terms
  1. Available Balance. Schedule 1 (Instarem for Business Supplemental Terms) of the Terms is supplemented as follows:
  1. Available Balance
    1. When Instarem receives funds that are credited to the Available Balance, you acquire an interest in (or an increased interest in) a non-cash payment product (being the Instarem Account). Those funds are therefore not moneys which are subject to the client money protections in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
    2. The Available Balance will be maintained by Instarem in accordance with Applicable Laws. You acknowledge and agree that (a) the Available Balance is not protected by any depositor or insurance scheme and (b) you do not have any right or control or other interest in any funds we have received from you or a payer other than a right to use the Available Balance as described in these Terms.
    3. The Available Balance can only be maintained in one or more supported currencies. If any funds received by us from you or a payer are not in a supported currency, Instarem will credit the Available Balance with equivalent amount of a supported currency converted using the exchange rate determined by us (acting reasonably).
    4. You acknowledge and agree that maintaining the Available Balance in multiple currencies carry foreign exchange risks, for example it is possible that the exchange rate improves over time and you will not receive the benefit of such fluctuations. You agree to assume the aforementioned foreign exchange risks and waive all claims against us with respect to such risks.
  2. Funding the Available Balance
    1. The Available Balance may be funded by (a) you transferring the funds from your bank account to Instarem’s Customer Money Account; (b) the Received Funds; and (c) such other methods supported on the Instarem Platform from time to time.
    2. If Instarem allows you to fund the Available Balance by way of a Payment Card:

Each Chargeback will be deducted from your Instarem Account or any sum owed by Instarem to you from time to time. This paragraph (c) survives termination of the Services or these Terms.
    3. We may cancel, reverse, demand a refund, or cause any amount of the Available Balance to be unavailable for the Services and make corresponding adjustments to any entry if:

      4. we have reasonable grounds to do so for any other legitimate reasons.
  3. Bank Guarantee

    The Available Balance is supported by a bank guarantee (the “Bank Guarantee”). The Bank Guarantee is issued by an Australian authorised deposit-taking institution (the “Issuer”) in favour of Global Loan Agency Services Australia Nominees Pty Ltd (the “Trustee”) who holds the benefit of the Bank Guarantee on trust for our customers, including all customers with Available Balances. Instarem is required to ensure that, at any point in time, the amount of the Bank Guarantee is greater than the aggregate Available Balances of all customers of the Services. If an insolvency event occurs with respect to Instarem, or Instarem is found by any court or tribunal in Australia or the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) to be in breach of any obligation owed to You in connection with the Instarem Account or Available Balance which breach is not remedied within ten (10) business days following receipt us of the final non-appealable judgement or determination of the court, tribunal or AFCA, the Trustee must make a demand on the Bank Guarantee. You acknowledge that if a demand is made on the Bank Guarantee, the Trustee will apply the proceeds of the Bank Guarantee to satisfy Available Balances of affected customers held (a) in Australian Dollars, in Australian Dollars and (b) in any other currency, in Australian Dollars using an exchange rate determined by the Trustee (acting reasonably). In these circumstances You can contact the Trustee at: GLAS, Level 26, 1 Bligh Street, Sydney NSW 2000 Australia (Re: NIUM Pty Limited); Phone: +61 2 82268728; Website: https://glas.agency/aus/ and Email: apac@glas.agency (Re: NIUM Pty Limited). The Bank Guarantee referenced in this clause has been issued with the intention of satisfying an exemption published by the Reserve Bank of Australia under section 25 of the Payment System (Regulations) Act 1998 (Cth) on 4 March 2004 (the Exemption). You acknowledge and agree that (i) if Instarem no longer relies on the Exemption in respect of Your funds, such as where Instarem is granted an authorised deposit taking institution licence, neither Instarem nor the Trustee need maintain the Bank Guarantee; and (ii) for the purposes of establishing the Bank Guarantee arrangements, Instarem is authorised to transfer free and clear title to all relevant balances held in the Customer Money Account (or otherwise received to be credited to the Available Balance) to the Issuer as collateral for performance of the Bank Guarantee.

  4. Additional Representations, Warranties and Undertakings Applicable to the Available Balance

    You represent, warrant and undertake (as applicable) that:

    1. you own all title, rights and interest to the funds received by us for crediting to the Available Balance and your rights in relation to the Available Balance. No person or entity other than you have any rights in relation to the Available Balance and funds received pursuant to the Receive Service;

      3. we believe this is necessary to reflect changes in banking industry standards or market practice;
      4. it is necessary to comply with a change in law, regulation or related guidance; or
      5. a Financial Ombudsman or court decision means that we reasonably think that the agreement requires changes to make sure that we are complying with that decision.
  2. Amendments to the Terms
    1. Unauthorised Transactions. Section 6 (Unauthorized Transactions) of the Terms is deleted and replaced with the following:
        1. Unauthorised or Incorrectly Executed Transactions. You must promptly notify us in writing as soon as you become aware of any unauthorized or incorrectly executed transactions and, in any event, no later than thirteen months (13) months after the transaction is completed.
        2. Investigations. We may investigate unauthorised and incorrectly executed transactions. We will have the right to investigate any transaction reported by you as unauthorized or executed incorrectly. We may ask you to provide us with supporting information and documentation to help us with our investigation and you agree to cooperate with us and provide to us all information and documentation we reasonably require for this purpose. You also agree to cooperate with any authorities involved in our investigation.
        3. Refunds due to Unauthorised Transactions. Subject to Section 6.4, if we determine that your payment was unauthorised, we shall refund the payment amount including all fees deducted by us using the same method through which you funded the Transaction, though you may be liable for the first GBP 35 of any unauthorised transaction. Subject to Section 6.4, we will not hold you liable for the first GBP 35 if (a) the unauthorized payment was caused either by Instarem’s acts or omissions; (b) the loss or theft of your security credentials was not detectable by you prior to the payment being made; (c) we have not provided you with a means to notify us of the loss or theft of your security credentials or that your Instarem Account has been compromised; (d) we have not applied authentication requirements to the transaction when we are legally obliged to do so. Your liability for the first GBP 35 will not apply to any unauthorized transactions made after you have notified us that your Instarem Account was compromised.
        4. When Will We Not Make a Refund? We will not make a refund and you will be responsible for the unauthorized transactions in the following circumstances:
          1. you have acted fraudulently;
          2. we are not notified by you about the unauthorized transaction, or we are notified after the 13 month deadline (as long as we have provided you with appropriate means to notify us); or
          3. you deliberately or with gross negligence compromise the security of your account or fail to notify us of any security issues with your account or fail to use any Services in accordance with these terms.
        5. Can We Take Back the Refund? If, as a result of our investigation, we discover that the transaction was authorized by you and executed by us correctly, that you have acted fraudulently or that you have acted deliberately or with gross negligence (i.e. extremely carelessly), we will deduct from (a) funds held by us on your behalf or (b) funds provided to us as credit support for your obligations under these terms all sums previously refunded to you. If you do not have sufficient funds, we will make a request for immediate payment. You shall immediately transfer an amount which equals the shortfall to a bank account designated by Instarem.

      Incorrectly Executed Transactions

      1. Refunds Due to Incorrectly Executed Transactions. Subject to sections 3.1 and 3.2, if we process your payment incorrectly (for example, because it wasn’t sent to the account you told us to or because it was processed late due to our error) we shall refund the payment amount including all fees deducted by us, using the same method through which you funded the Transaction. If you made a mistake and gave us the incorrect information to process the Transaction, we will use reasonable efforts to help fix the problem (which might mean getting your money back) but we may charge you for our costs of doing so.”
    2. Complaint Process. Section 13.2 (Complaint Process) shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

      “13.2 Complaint Process. In the event that your issue is not resolved through your contact with Instarem Support, you agree to submit a complaint to us (“Complaint Process”). You can submit a complaint by mail, email or by submitting a help ticket and describe your dispute, how you would like us to resolve the complaint, and any other relevant information. We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint form after you submit it and request any additional information as necessary. We will respond to your complaint as soon as possible and within 15 business days after we receive it, or in exceptional circumstances (and for reasons beyond our control), 35 business days after we receive it. You can ask us for a copy of our complaint procedure at any time.”

    3. Arbitration Agreement. Except to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Section 13.4 (Arbitration Agreement) of the Terms shall not apply to residents located in the United Kingdom and shall be deleted.
