Once the Account is deleted, all User information pertaining to your identification, your transactions, etc will also be deleted except to the extent that Machnet is required to retain such information in order to comply with applicable law or assist Third-Party Servicers to comply. Machnet will contact User once the Account is deleted.
c. Once we complete your request, we will not be able to supply any of your information, including but not limited to, information regarding your KYC, transactions initiated by you, transaction receipts, etc. even upon your request. Hence, please ensure that you have obtained necessary backup of all such information before you place a request.

e. Despite your account being deleted, we may contact you for redressal and/or recovery in case we encounter any issue with any transaction created by you in the platform.
9.PAYMENT ACCOUNT AND PAYMENTS
As and when offered to User, User may be able to maintain a Payments Account supplied by a Payments Provider that User will be able to load, maintain and debit as per its terms with the Payments Provider, such as they may be from time to time.
Together with or distinct from the Payments Account, Users may pay for a Transaction via ACH Debit and Debit card payable to a Payments Provider. ACH Deposits generally take 4 to 6 business days whereas debit cards are debited instantly. By using ACH/Cards you authorize our Payments Provider through us to debit the Payment Method provided by you for the noted amount on the date you authorize. You understand that because this is an electronic transaction, these funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the date you authorize. You will not dispute our Payments Provider debiting your checking/savings account, so long as the transaction corresponds to the terms indicated in your transaction. In addition, you agree on the following:
a. You agree to pay a Transaction Fee plus the Transaction amount for every transaction that you place in the Service platform. Additional charges may apply. Payment is due at the time your Transaction is submitted for processing. You agree to reimburse Payments Providers or us, as the case may be, all Fees if you submit a Transaction that results in the Payments Provider being charged non-sufficient fund fees, chargeback fees, or other similar Fees.
b. In order to collect payment from you, you authorize the Payments Provider to access, charge, or debit funds from any of the Payment Method you provide us in connection with your use of the Service. If your payment fails or is insufficient, we may re-try debiting your Payment Method one or more times without your authorization or you may authorize us to try debiting a different Payment Method. For example, if there are insufficient funds in your bank account at the time you submit your Transaction, the Payments Provider may try to debit your bank account at a later time. You are solely responsible for any fees or charges that may be imposed by the financial institutions associated with your mode of Payment.
c. You shall not be entitled to any benefit accrued to us and our Third-Party Servicers on account of any foreign exchange fluctuation during the course of the services provided by us or Third-Party Servicers. You agree, when you send a Transaction to a Recipient’s bank account, that the bank account is denominated in the currency as set during the time of your Transaction.
d. In case if you fail to make payment and your transaction is already delivered to Recipient, we have the right to take all possible actions to recover the payment, to the extent permitted by law. Your failure to fully pay amounts that you owe us is a material breach of this Agreement and you will be liable for our costs associated with recovery and collection in addition to the amount owed, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenses, costs of any arbitration or court proceeding, collection agency fees, and any applicable interest.
Machnet reserves the right, but does not have the obligation, to cause funds for a Transaction to be made available to a Recipient before the Payment Provider is in receipt of User Transaction funds. In such case Payments Provider and Machnet reserve the right to not characterize such Transactions as money transmission but, instead, reimbursement of an advance provided to a Recipient.
10.ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFER
The following disclosures are made in accordance with the federal law regarding electronic payments, deposits, transfers of funds and other electronic transfers to and from your account(s). There may be limitations on account activity that restrict your ability to make electronic fund transfers. Any such limits are disclosed in the appropriate agreements governing your account.
A. Definitions: Electronic Fund Transfer: Any transfer of funds, other than a transaction originated by check, draft or similar paper instrument, that is initiated through an electronic device or computer to instruct us to debit or credit an account. Electronic Fund Transfers include such electronic transactions as direct deposits or withdrawals of funds, transfers initiated via telephone, website or mobile application. Preauthorized Electronic Fund Transfer: An Electronic Fund Transfer that you have authorized in advance to recur at substantially regular intervals; for example, direct deposits into or withdrawal of funds out of your account.
B. Your Liability: Authorized Transfers: You are liable for all Electronic Fund Transfers that you authorize, whether directly or indirectly. Unauthorized Transfers: Tell us at once if you believe your account or PIN or Access Information (as defined below) is lost or stolen or has been or may be subject to unauthorized Electronic Fund Transfers. Support message us immediately to keep your possible losses to a minimum. You could lose all the money in your account(s). If you tell us within two (2) business days after learning of the loss or theft of your account access device, or after learning of any other unauthorized transfers from your account involving your account access device, you can lose no more than $50 if Electronic Fund Transfers are made without your permission. For these transactions, if you DO NOT tell us within two (2) business days after learning of the loss, theft or unauthorized use, and we can establish that we could have prevented the unauthorized transfer(s) if you had told us in time, you could lose as much as $500. Also, if your periodic account statement shows unauthorized transfers and you DO NOT tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was delivered to you, you may not get back any money you lose after the sixty (60) day period if we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized transfer(s) if you had told us in time. If an extenuating circumstance (such as extended travel or hospitalization) prevents you from promptly notifying us of a suspected lost or stolen access device or of any other suspected unauthorized transfer(s), the time periods specified in this Section B may be extended for a reasonable period.
11.ACCOUNT AGGREGATION DISCLOSURES (Linking Bank accounts)
If enabled by platform for your account, you may link an account with us or an external account at a third party financial institution for online transfers between your linked account(s) and your account. If enabled by platform, you may link your external account(s) with your account by logging into your financial institution on the platform’s website or Mobile App. We may also verify your control of the external account by requiring you to submit proof of ownership of the external account(s). All linked accounts must be with financial institutions in the United States. We may decline the use of any external account that we believe may present a risk to you and/or us. By linking your external account to your account, and by subsequently logging into your linked account(s) through the platform website or Mobile App, you authorize us to view your account history and profile, including, but not limited to, your account and routing details, authentication details, balance, transaction history, contact information and other related information made available by such external financial institution; and you understand this information may be used to transact on your behalf and perform other services subject to our Privacy Policy. When adding an external account, you represent and warrant that you are the owner of and have the right to access, use and authorize us to use the account for information and fund transfer purposes. If any of your linked accounts has a joint account holder, you represent and warrant that the joint account holder has consented for you to represent both you and them, and to use the external account with the platform services. If you do not have such consent, you should not use that external account and we will terminate your use of the linking service if we are notified of such a situation. If you close any of your external accounts, you are responsible for removing it as an account eligible for the linking service to avoid any transaction failure and possible charges related to a failed transaction. We are not responsible for any acts or omissions by the external financial institution or other provider or any linked external bank account, including, without limitation, any modification, interruption, or discontinuance of any linked external bank account by such financial institutions, service provider or platform.
12.PAYOUT AND DELIVERY

Payout of your transaction shall be completed through authorized correspondent agents of Payments Providers or their designees.

14.DISCLAIMERS
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that Transactions are processed in a timely manner, but we make no representations or warranties regarding the time needed to complete processing because the Service is dependent on many factors outside our control. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights that vary state to state. In any event, you may have a right to a refund as expressly described herein.
15.REFUND OF REMITTANCE PAYMENT
a. Pursuant to Third-Party Servicer Terms with Payments Providers, you may cancel your Transaction for a full refund within 30 minutes of creating your Transaction, unless the funds have already been paid out to Recipient or your transaction has been picked up for processing. After 30 minutes, Payments Providers generally do not provide refunds unless they did not process your Transaction according to your instructions or they are unable to pay out the Transaction. To request a refund, please contact Machnet.
b. We will instruct the Payments Provider to make every effort not to debit your Payment Method after we have received your request for cancellation. However, in some cases, they may have initiated an irreversible request for funds from your financial institution prior to receiving your request for cancellation. In such cases, your Payment Method may be debited even if you have cancelled your Transaction but Payments Provider will refund your money usually within fourteen (14) business days, after we have received the funds from your financial institution. This shall apply only if your transaction has not been delivered to your Recipient.
c. Refunds will be credited to the same Payment Method used to pay for the Transaction. Refunds are only made in U.S. Dollars. Refund amounts will not be adjusted to account for changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar or foreign currency from the time your Transaction was submitted.
