Remitly User Agreement

This User Agreement ( "Agreement" ) is effective as of March 1, 2016 , and was most recently updated on August 26, 2021. It describes the terms by which you will be bound when you use the services accessible at www.remitly.com ( "Service" ). Do not use the Service if you do not agree to be bound by these terms. By using the Service you agree to all of the terms contained in this User Agreement.

As used throughout this Agreement, the terms "Remitly" , "we" , "us" , and "our" refer to Remitly Canada, Inc., a British Columbia corporation, together with its employees, directors, successors, and assignees. The terms "you" and "your" refer to users of the Service, whether as Senders or Recipients.

1. THE SERVICE

The Service allows users to send international money transfers from Canada to other countries served by Remitly. A "Sender" uses the Service to send money and a "Recipient" receives money through the Service. A "Transaction" refers to an order to send money through the Service. The "Transaction Amount" is the amount in Canadian dollars that the Sender provides to Remitly for transmittal to the Recipient. The "Payout Amount" is the amount paid out to the Recipient.

2. ELIGIBILITY FOR THE SERVICE

  1. Age and Capacity. You must be at least eighteen (18) years old and have the capacity to enter into a legally binding agreement under applicable law in order to access or use the Service as a Sender. You must use the Service in your individual capacity and not on behalf of a business or legal entity. Other restrictions may apply.
  2. Others. You may not submit or receive a Transaction on behalf of any other person.
  3. Residence within Canada. The Service is not currently available to residents of certain provinces of Canada. Please check our website frequently to see whether your province of residence has been added to the list of eligible jurisdictions.
  4. Offer and Acceptance. If you submit a Transaction, you are requesting that we process your Transaction, an offer that we may accept or reject at our sole discretion.

3. PAYING FOR THE SERVICE

  1. Charges. With each Transaction you submit you are agreeing to pay us a service fee ( "Service Fee" ), in addition to the Transaction Amount.

Payment in Canadian dollars is due at the time the Transaction is submitted for processing. If you submit a Transaction that results in us being charged NSF fees, chargeback fees, or other similar costs, you agree to reimburse Remitly for all such fees.

  1. Payment. In order for us to process your Transaction you authorize us to charge any of the payment instruments included in your payment profile ( "Payment Instrument" includes credit card, debit card, or bank account). If your payment fails you authorize us to re-try one or more times using the same Payment Instrument. You warrant that you are an authorized and lawful user of the Payment Instrument(s).
  2. Other Charges. We are not responsible for fees that may be imposed by financial institutions associated with your Payment Instruments. For example, some credit card issuers may treat the use of your credit card to use the Service as a "cash advance" and may impose additional fees and interest cost for the Transaction. Remitly is not responsible for any NSF fees, chargeback fees, or other, similar charges that might be imposed on you by your bank, credit card issuer, or other provider.

4. PRE-AUTHORIZED DEBIT AUTHORIZATION

  1. Pre-Authorized Debit. By entering your Payment Instrument into your account's payment profile, you authorize us to begin debiting your Payment Instrument for charges with respect to your use of the Service ( "PAD" ).

This PAD authorization ( "Authorization" ) constitutes your agreement and authorization for Remitly to debit your Payment Instrument and is effective as of the date you provide Remitly with your Payment Instrument information. You acknowledge that this is a Personal PAD drawn for the payment of goods or services related to your personal, household or consumer activity. You warrant to us on a continuing basis that all persons whose consent to debit the Payment Instrument agree to the terms of this Agreement and that the Payment Instrument information provided by you is accurate and complete. This authorization shall apply to any Payment Instrument entered into your payment profile.

  1. Debit of Payment Instrument. You acknowledge that this authorization is provided for the benefit of Remitly and your financial institution ( "Financial Institution" ) and is provided in consideration of your Financial Institution agreeing to process all debits against your Payment Instrument in accordance with the Rules of the Canadian Payments Association. This authorization applies only to the method of payment and does not otherwise affect your obligations to us under this Agreement or related agreements.
  2. Authorization and Waiver of Pre-Notification. You authorize us to debit your Payment Instrument for all amounts owed to us from time to time for your use of the Service, including the Transaction Amount and any Service Fees. AS THE PAYMENT AMOUNT FOR THE SERVICE IS VARIABLE, YOU WAIVE ANY REQUIREMENT THAT WE GIVE PRE-NOTIFICATION OF ANY PAYMENT AMOUNT, THE DATES ON WHICH THE DEBITS WILL BE PROCESSED, AS WELL AS NOTICE OF ANY FUTURE CHANGES TO THE AMOUNTS OR PAYMENT DATES.
  3. Cancellation. You may cancel this authorization at any time by closing your Remitly account. For more information on your rights to cancel a PAD agreement, you may contact your Financial Institution or visit www.cdnpay.ca. Cancellation of this authorization does not terminate this Agreement or relieve you of any obligation to pay all amounts owing to us by a method of payment satisfactory to us.
  4. Delivery. You acknowledge that providing this authorization to us constitutes delivery by you of this authorization to your Financial Institution. You acknowledge that your Financial Institution is not required to verify that each PAD submitted by us has been issued in accordance with this authorization, including, but not limited to, the amount, or that the purpose of payment for which the PAD was submitted has been fulfilled by us as a condition of honouring the PAD against your Payment Instrument. You agree to receive confirmation of this PAD authorization by email.
  5. Recourse. You have certain recourse rights if any debit does not comply with this Agreement or is not authorized by you. In order to be reimbursed, you acknowledge that a declaration must be completed and presented to your Financial Institution issuing the Payment Instrument within 90 days after the date on which the PAD in dispute was posted to the Payment Instrument.

You acknowledge that after 90 days, a claim that any dispute of a PAD is a matter to be resolved solely between you and Remitly. To obtain more information on your recourse rights, you may contact your Financial Institution or visit www.cdnpay.ca.
