1.1 These terms and conditions ("Terms and Conditions") govern the terms under which you may access and use the website (and for the purpose of these Terms and Conditions "website" will include our App (where applicable) and the services associated with it (together, the "Service"). By accessing, registering with and requesting to use the Service, you agree to be bound by the terms of these Terms and Conditions. You do not have a standing arrangement to make Transactions; we can decide in our discretion whether or not to permit any Transaction you request. If you do not wish to be bound by the Terms and Conditions do not access, register with or use the Service. The language of these Terms and Conditions is English and all Services, instructions and transactions carried out in connection with it shall be in English.
1.2 In these Terms and Conditions, the terms "Pinoy First", "we", "us", and "our" refer to Pinoy First Pty Ltd, together with its employees, directors, affiliates, successors, and assigns. Pinoy First Pty Ltd is a company registered in Australia with ACN 161 586 116, with its registered mailing address at PO Box 1047, North Cairns Queensland 4870.
1.3 The terms "you" and "your" refer to users of the Service, as Senders, Recipients, other users or visitors to the website
1.4 These Terms and Conditions are effective from the date on which you first access, register or use the Service. Pinoy First may unilaterally change the Terms and Conditions in its absolute discretion from time to time, but changes will only be effective from the date they are made and will not change the terms on which you previously used the Service. Any changes to these Terms and Conditions will be communicated to you. By continuing to use the Service after the proposed date on which the changes to these Terms and Conditions take effect, you are deemed to accept those changes.
1.5 The Service was created: to assist customers to send money to their family and friends, and to receive money from family and friends, around the world. However, registration for the Service does not require us to accept or process any Transaction that you request. Each Transaction we do accept will be treated as a separate instruction. For security reasons, we recommend that you only send money through the Service to people you know personally. You must not use the Service to send money to strangers, for example sellers of goods and/or services, whether private or retail.
1.6 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions or in any other information provided by Pinoy First as part of the Service is intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal, financial, tax or other advice. You should consult your own professional advisers as to the effects of Australian or foreign laws which may apply to the Service.

3.2 We are not obliged to process and you have no right to make any particular Transaction. When you submit a Transaction Request, you are requesting that we process the Transaction on your behalf and consenting to the execution of the Transaction. We may, in our sole discretion, choose whether or not to accept the offer to process that Transaction. If we decide not to process the Transaction, we will notify you promptly of that decision and repay to you the Transaction Amount received by us, provided that we are not prohibited by law from doing so. If we choose to proceed with the Transaction, we may still suspend or cancel it in our discretion.
3.3 Pinoy First reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Service or any part of the Service without notice, at any time and from time to time.
3.4 We may, in our absolute discretion, refuse any Transaction Request (as further detailed in clause 5) or impose limits on the Transaction Amount. We may do so either on a per Transaction basis or on an aggregate basis, and either in respect of one set of registration details or one Payment Instrument or on related sets of registration details or Payment Instruments.
3.5 Delivery times quoted on our service levels or elsewhere on our website are representative for the "normal" / average service and are not a guarantee of an individual Service or Transaction time.
3.6 We will attempt to process a Transaction promptly, but any Transaction may be delayed or cancelled for a number of reasons including but not limited to: our efforts to verify your identity; to validate your Transaction instructions; to contact you; or due to variations in business hours and currency availability; or otherwise to comply with applicable law.
3.7 We may send and receive notifications in relation to a Transaction by email. We will provide you with information after receipt of a Transaction Request enabling you to identify the Transaction, along with details of the amount of the Transaction in the currency used in the Transaction Request, our Service Fee, exchange rate and the date on which the Transaction Request was received.
3.8 We will attempt to provide Senders and Recipients with up to date information regarding the location and opening hours of our Service Providers by means of information on our website. However, you agree that Pinoy First shall not be held responsible for any inaccuracies that may appear in that information or any consequential loss which may result from incorrect or incomplete information.
4.1 You agree that:
4.1.1 you will not access, use or attempt to use the Service to provide any Instructions unless you are at least 18 years old, and that you have the legal capacity to form a binding legal contract in any relevant jurisdiction;
4.1.2 for each Transaction Request that you submit, you will pay us the Service Fee in addition to the Transaction Amount. Payment becomes due at the time that you submit your Transaction Request. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service Fee is non-refundable unless expressly stated in these Terms and Conditions;
4.1.3 if you submit a Transaction Request that results in Pinoy First becoming liable for charges including but not limited to chargeback or other fees, you agree to reimburse us for all such fees;
4.1.4 you will not use any device, software or routine to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Service or any Instruction being conducted through the Service;
4.1.5 in connection with your Registration and use of the Service, you will:
4.2 We do not accept any liability for loss or damages to you or any third party resulting from non-payment or delay in payment of a Payout Amount to a Recipient or failure to perform an Instruction under the Service if you are in breach of your obligations listed in clause 4.1.
4.3 When you are using the Service under these Terms and Conditions, it is your responsibility to make sure all the details are accurate before submission. Once a Transaction Request has been received it is not normally possible to change any details of that Transaction Request. You will be given the opportunity to confirm the Transaction Request before submission and you must check the details carefully.
4.4 The total amount (the Transaction Amount, Service Fee and other applicable fees and charges) that you will be required to pay and the relevant exchange rate will be displayed clearly on the website before you are asked to confirm your Transaction and proceeding with the Transaction at this point is entirely optional.
4.5 When you pay a Transaction Amount in one currency and the Payout Amount is in another currency, there will be a difference between the exchange rate at which we buy foreign currency and the exchange rate provided to you. Pinoy First and its Service Providers usually make a small profit in these circumstances. We guarantee you the Payout Amount in local currency. The margin taken on foreign currency exchange covers our risk in guaranteeing this. If a Recipient's account is denominated in a currency other than the currency you instructed us to make payment in there may be delays, additional charges or different exchange rates. The Sender is therefore responsible for ensuring that the currency requested for the Transaction matches the currency of the account where the funds are to be delivered.
4.6 Pinoy First will have no responsibility for any fees or charges you may incur by the use of a particular Payment Instrument to fund a Transaction. These may include but are not limited to unauthorised overdraft fees imposed by financial institutions if there are insufficient funds in your bank account or "cash advance" fees and additional interest which may be imposed by banking providers if they treat the use of the Service as a cash transaction rather than a purchase transaction.
4.7 You will only use the Service to send money to people that you know personally and not to pay for goods or services from third parties you do not know and trust. You acknowledge that Pinoy First may refuse to process your Transaction Request where we believe you are using the Service to purchase goods or services from third parties you do not know and trust or where we believe that the Service is being used, by you or the Recipient, in furtherance of fraudulent, illegal or unethical activities. If you choose to pay third parties for goods and services using the Service, you acknowledge that Pinoy First has no control over, and is not responsible for, the quality, safety, legality, or delivery of such goods or services and that any such use of the Service is entirely at your own risk.
4.8 Both you and the Recipient will only act on your own behalf. You may not submit an Instruction or receive a Transaction on behalf of a third person. If you intend to submit an Instruction or receive a Transaction on behalf of a third person, you must first inform Pinoy First of your desire to do so and provide us with any additional information about the third person we may request in order that we may decide whether to permit the Instruction or Transaction.
4.9 In using the Service, you will comply with these Terms and Conditions as well as any applicable laws, rules or regulations. It is a breach of these Terms and Conditions to use the Service to send Transaction Amounts: (i) to a Recipient who has violated the Terms and Conditions, or (ii) in connection with illegal activity including but not limited to money-laundering, fraud and the funding of terrorist organisations. If Pinoy First reasonably believes you are using the Service in connection with illegal activity or for any fraudulent purpose, or are permitting a third party to do so, Pinoy First may report you to the appropriate legal authorities.
4.10 When using our website or the Service or when interacting with Pinoy First, with another user or with a third party, you will not:
4.10.1 breach these Terms and Conditions, or any other agreement between you and Pinoy First;
4.10.2 create more than one Registration without our prior written permission;
4.10.3 provide false, inaccurate, or misleading information;
4.10.4 allow anyone else access to your registration details, and you will keep those details safe and secure;
4.10.5 refuse to provide confirmation of any information you provide to us, including proof of identity, or refuse to co-operate in any investigation;
4.10.6 use an anonymising proxy (a tool that attempts to make activity untraceable); or
4.10.7 copy or monitor our website using any robot, spider, or other automatic device or manual process, without our prior written permission.
4.11 You acknowledge that nothing in these Terms and Conditions or in any other information provided by Pinoy First as part of the Service is intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or other advice. If required, you agree to consult your own professional advisers as to the effects of Australian or foreign laws which may apply to the Service.
5.1 Registration for the Service does not entitle you to make any Transaction that you request. We may refuse a Transaction at any time for any reason. Where we permit a Transaction, we may still suspend or cancel the Transaction or the Service under this clause.
5.2 We may refuse any Transaction Request or Transaction at any time for any reason (or cancel it where relevant). Notwithstanding this, we set out here some examples of when that may occur.
5.2.1 We may, in our absolute discretion, refuse or cancel Transaction Requests or Transactions where we believe that the Service is being used, whether by you or the Recipient, in furtherance of illegal, fraudulent or unethical activities.
5.2.2 We may, in our absolute discretion, refuse or cancel Transaction Requests or Transactions from certain Senders or to certain Recipients, including but not limited to entities and individuals on restricted or prohibited lists issued from time to time by any government authorities, if we are required to do so by law, or where we have reason to believe processing the Transaction Requests would violate anti-money laundering or counter-terrorism financing laws and regulations. We may refuse to process a Transaction funded from certain Payment Instruments where we have reason to believe the security of the Payment Instrument has been compromised or where we suspect the unauthorised or fraudulent use of the Payment Instrument.
5.2.3 We may, in our absolute discretion, refuse or cancel Transaction Requests or Transactions if Pinoy First believes you are using the Service to purchase goods or services from third parties you do not know or trust.
5.2.4 We may, in our absolute discretion, refuse or cancel Transaction Requests or Transactions if:
5.3 Where Pinoy First has refused or cancelled a Transaction Request, Pinoy First may also, at its discretion, temporarily or permanently suspend your Registration.
5.4 Where Pinoy First temporarily or permanently suspends your Registration, or refuses or cancels a Transaction Request or a Transaction in accordance with this clause 5, Pinoy First shall be entitled to retain any Service Fees already incurred.
5.5 In order to comply with our obligations under relevant laws, we reserve the right to ask for further information or evidence relating to the purpose of a Transaction.
6.1 To the extent permitted by law, once we have received your Instruction, you do not have the automatic right to revoke it.
6.2 Notwithstanding clause 6.1 above, Pinoy First may, in its absolute discretion, attempt to cancel your Instruction if you have informed us that you wish to revoke it. In some cases, Pinoy First may have initiated an irreversible request for funds to be paid out to your Recipient by a Service Provider and therefore cannot guarantee cancellation will be successful. For successful revocations Pinoy First will normally refund your money, less any reasonable revocation charges and any Service Fees already charged, within five (5) Business Days.
6.3 If you:
6.3.1 have any problems using the Service; or
6.3.2 are aware of any unauthorised or incorrectly executed Transaction, you should contact us through the channels listed at the end of these Terms and Conditions without delay and in any event no later than 13 months after the date the Transaction Amount was debited, upon becoming aware of the unauthorised or incorrectly executed Transaction. A request for a refund must be submitted in writing (including by email) to one of the contact points listed at the bottom of these Terms and Conditions, giving the Sender's full name, address, and phone number, together with the Transaction tracking number, Transaction Amount, and the reason for your refund request.
6.4 If we have executed the Transaction in accordance with the instructions you have provided to us, and that information proves to have been incorrect, we are not liable for the incorrect execution of the Transaction. We will however make reasonable efforts to recover the funds. We may charge you a reasonable fee, reflective of our efforts, to do so.
6.5 Where Pinoy First has executed the Transaction otherwise than in accordance with your Instruction, subject to clause 10.2, Pinoy First will refund the full amount debited. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, no adjustment will be made for any currency fluctuations which may have occurred between the time you pay us the Transaction Amount and the time of credit.
6.6 Any refunds will be credited back to the same Payment Instrument used to fund the Transaction and in the same currency.
7.1 Service Fee. For each Transaction that you submit, you agree to pay us a service fee (the "Service Fee") plus the Transaction Amount. Additional charges may apply. Payment is due at the time you submit your Transaction.
7.2 If payment is not received into Pinoy First's designated bank account in cleared funds within 24 hours of a transaction being submitted, then a different exchange rate may be applicable. A different exchange rate may also apply in all cases where a transaction is submitted on a Friday or a Public Holiday or other such event where the completion of a transaction within 24 hours is beyond the control of Pinoy First.
7.3 Foreign Exchange. Pinoy First and its Service Providers (defined below) usually make money when you pay for a Transaction in one currency, and the Transaction is paid out in another, based on the exchange rate determined by Pinoy First and specified on the website. The exchange rate specified for a Transaction is only applicable if payment in full for the Transaction (including the Service Fee and all relevant charges) is made at the same time that the Transaction is submitted.
8.1 Customer Identification Program. Australian law requires financial institutions to assist in the fight against money laundering activities and the funding of terrorism by obtaining, verifying, and recording identifying information about all customers. We may therefore require you to supply us with personal identifying information relating to you and the Recipient and we may also legally consult other sources to obtain information about you and the Recipient.
8.2 Verification and Checks. We will verify your residential address and personal details in order to confirm your identity. We may also pass your personal information to a credit reference agency, which may keep a record of that information. Be assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, and that we do not perform credit checks and therefore your credit rating will be unaffected. We may also need to verify the identity of a Recipient in the same way. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). By accepting these Terms and Conditions you authorise us to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate the information that you provide to us. We may do this directly, for example by asking you for additional information, or requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your Payment Instruments or email address; or indirectly, for example by verifying your information against third party databases or through other sources.
8.3 Data Privacy Policy. You consent to our processing your personal information for the purposes of providing the Service, including for verification purposes as set out in this clause. You also consent to the use of such data to enable us and our authorised third parties to communicate with you, and for statutory, accounting and archival purposes, in accordance with the terms of Pinoy First's Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that you have read and consented to Pinoy First's Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy can be found by https://pinoyfirst.com.au/privacy.
8.4 Government Disclosures. We may be required by law to provide information about you, your use of the Service and your Instructions to government or other competent authorities as described in our Data Privacy Policy. You acknowledge and consent to us doing this.
8.5 Pinoy First may, as necessary in providing the Service, store all information required of a Recipient to prove his or her identity or associated with their specific Instruction. Such proofs may include a suitable form of valid, unexpired identification from a list of acceptable papers provided by the Service Provider, and/or a transaction tracking number, a personal identification number (PIN), a "password", a "secret word", or other valid similar identifiers.
9.1 The Pinoy First website and the Pinoy First Service, the content, and all intellectual property relating to them and contained in them (including but not limited to copyrights, patents, database rights, trademarks and service marks) are owned by us, our affiliates, or third parties. All right, title and interest in and to the Pinoy First website and the Service shall remain our property and/or the property of such other third parties.
9.2 The Pinoy First website and the Pinoy First Service may be used only for the purposes permitted by these Terms and Conditions or described on the website. You are authorised solely to view and to retain a copy of the pages of the Pinoy First website for your own personal use. You may not duplicate, publish, modify, create derivative works from, participate in the transfer or sale of, post on the internet, or in any way distribute or exploit the Pinoy First website, the Pinoy First Service or any portion thereof for any public or commercial use without our express written permission. You may not: (a) use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated device to access the Pinoy First website or the Pinoy First Service; and/or (b) remove or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice or legend displayed on the Pinoy First website (or printed pages of the website). The name "Pinoy First" and other names and indicia of ownership of Pinoy First's products and/or services referred to on the Pinoy First website are our exclusive marks or the exclusive marks of other third parties. Other products, services and company names appearing on the website may be trademarks of their respective owners, and therefore you should not use, copy or reproduce them in any way.
10.1 Where we have materially breached these Terms and Conditions causing a Sender loss, we will refund the Sender the Transaction Amount and the Service Fee.
10.2 If a Transaction is delayed or fails, or if an executed Transaction is not authorised, you may have a right to receive a refund or compensation under laws relating to the provision of international money transfer services. In the case of any unauthorised or incorrectly executed Transaction, any such right may be prejudiced if you do not notify us of the unauthorised or incorrectly executed Transaction without delay, or in any event within thirteen months after the debit date. We will provide you with the further details of your rights to a refund or compensation if you contact us using the contact details at the end of these Terms and Conditions.
10.3 Any claim for compensation made by you must be supported by any available relevant documentation.
10.4 If any loss that you suffer is not covered by a right to payment under the laws referred to in clause 10.2, we will only accept liability for that loss up to a limit which is the greater of: (a) the amount of any Service Fee and (b) A$500, unless otherwise agreed by us in writing. The cap on our liability only limits a claim for loss arising out of any single Transaction or series of related Transactions, or (if a loss does not arise out of a Transaction or related Transactions) any single act, omission or event or related acts, omissions or events. This means that if, for example, you suffer loss by reason of our failure to perform our agreement with you under two unrelated Transactions, you might be able to claim up to A$1,000.
10.5 We do not, in any event, accept responsibility for:
10.5.1 any failure to perform the Service (e.g. your Instruction) as a result of circumstances which could reasonably be considered to be due to abnormal and unforeseen circumstances or outside our control or due to our obligations under any applicable laws, rules or regulations;
10.5.2 malfunctions in communications facilities which cannot reasonably be considered to be under our control and that may affect the accuracy or timeliness of messages you send to us;
10.5.3 any losses or delays in transmission of messages arising out of the use of any internet or telecommunications service provider or caused by any browser or other software which is not under our control; or
10.5.4 errors on the website or with the Service caused by incomplete or incorrect information provided to us by you or a third party.
10.6 Nothing in this clause 10 shall (a) exclude or limit liability on our part for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence; or (b) exclude our liability for fraud.
10.7 Where you are sending a Transaction Amount to a Recipient who is not registered with us, you agree to accept the provisions of this clause 10 not only for yourself, but also on behalf of the Recipient.
10.8 Your relationship is with Pinoy First only. You agree that no affiliate or agent of Pinoy First owes you any duty of care when performing a task which would otherwise have to be performed by Pinoy First under its agreement with you.
10.9 You understand and acknowledge that you are liable for all losses incurred in respect of an unauthorised Transaction or Instruction or any other unauthorised use of the Service, where you have acted fraudulently or negligently and you agree to be responsible for and hold harmless Pinoy First, our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, independent contractors, advertisers, partners, and co-branders from all loss, damage, claims, actions or demands, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your use or misuse of this website or Service, all activities that occur under your password, Registration or e-mail login, your violation of these Terms and Conditions or any other violation of the rights of another person or party.
11.1 In consideration of you agreeing to abide by these Terms and Conditions, we grant you a nontransferable, non-exclusive licence to use the App, subject to these Terms and Conditions, our Privacy Policy and the applicable app-store terms (incorporated into these Terms and Conditions by reference) as may be amended from time to time.

11.2.2 not to rent, lease, sub-license, loan, alter, translate, merge, adapt, vary or modify the App.
11.3 You acknowledge that the App has not been developed to meet your individual requirements, and that it is therefore your responsibility to ensure that the facilities and functions of the App meet your requirements.
11.4 We only supply the App for domestic and private use. Supply of the App does not oblige us to permit any Transaction you request. You agree not to use the App for any commercial, business or resale purposes, and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity. Specifically, (but without limitation), we do not accept any liability for loss or damages to you or any third party resulting from any:
11.4.1 delay in us processing an Instruction; or
11.4.2 refusal by us to execute a Transaction pursuant to these Terms and Conditions.

11.6.2 malfunctions in communications facilities which cannot reasonably be considered to be under our control and that may affect the accuracy or timeliness of messages we send to one another;
11.6.3 errors in the App or with the Service caused by incomplete or incorrect information provided to us by you or a third party; or

15.5 Severability: If any provision of the Terms and Conditions is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the arbitrator or court should endeavour to give appropriately valid effect to the intention of the Terms and Conditions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms and Conditions shall remain in full force and effect.
15.6 Any external links to third-party websites on the website are provided as a convenience to you.

We take security very seriously at Pinoy First and we work hard, using state-of-the-art security measures, to make sure that your information remains secure. The Pinoy First Service is a safe and convenient way to send money to friends and family and to other people that you trust.
However, we do advise you to consider very carefully before sending money to anyone that you do not know well. In particular, you should be very cautious of deals or offers that seem too good to be true - they may be scams. If you are aware of anyone or any entity that is using the Service inappropriately, please email us using our contact form. Similarly, if you receive any emails, purporting to be from Pinoy First, which you suspect may be "phishing" (fake) emails, please forward them to us using our contact form.
