Currency Key reserves the right to periodically update these Terms & Conditions. However, the version in effect at the time of a Transaction remains applicable, irrespective of subsequent alterations.

Payment

Should you opt for bank transfer or PayID as your preferred payment avenue, it is imperative that payment is executed within 2 hours subsequent to initiating your Transaction. Failure to adhere to this timeframe may result in the annulment of your Transaction.

It is mandatory that payments originate from the account—be it individual or business—of the entity availing the Service, excluding third-party accounts. Individual Transactions necessitate payments from individual accounts, while business Transactions mandate payments from business accounts.

At present, our website facilitates individual Transactions exclusively. Transactions funded from a business account may be subject to rejection, leading to potential cancellation of the Transaction.

Transaction Cancellation

Should we accede to a petition to annul your Transaction, the refund amount will be ascertained (with a deduction of a $15 cancellation fee from the Transaction's primal amount) and reverted to the card or bank account employed for the initial Transaction.

Exchange Rate and Charges

We generate an Exchange Rate estimate that holds validity solely at the moment of quotation. This Exchange Rate is susceptible to fluctuations contingent on market rate dynamics.

The Exchange Rate cannot be ascertained telephonically or via electronic mail until our booking affirmation is dispatched and the complete payment is received within our stipulated duration.

We reserve the right to implement distinct Exchange Rates for diverse clientele through varied channels, influenced by strategies, operational expenditures, promotional endeavours, and competitive factors.

Should your Transaction inadvertently render Currency Key liable for charges, encompassing but not restricted to credit card chargeback fees or analogous levies, you consent to indemnify us for all such impositions.

A supplementary fee will be levied for credit card payment processing, and potential surcharges might be applicable for alternative payment methods. This additional fee is irrevocable unless the Transaction is nullified due to an oversight on our part.

Currency Key disclaims any liability for ancillary costs you might accrue employing a specific Payment Method for a Transaction. Potential costs include, but aren't limited to, unsanctioned overdraft charges by banks due to insufficient funds or "cash advance" fees and accrued interest imposed by credit card entities if the Service usage is perceived as a cash transaction rather than a purchase.

In scenarios where your Registration is either temporarily or permanently suspended, or a Transaction is declined or annulled, Currency Key reserves the right to subtract a justifiable cancellation fee prior to processing any refunds.
