      1. Fixed Target Transaction – Transfer Orders, where you require us to transfer a fixed amount of the Target Currency to the Recipient;
      2. Fixed Source Transaction – Transfer Orders, where you order us to convert a fixed amount of Source Currency and transfer the resulting amount of Target Currency to the Recipient.
   2. As part of any Transfer Order that you place, you must provide accurate information to enable us to properly identify the Recipient and the bank account of the Recipient to which the relevant funds will be transferred. If you do not have all of the necessary information available at the time of instructing the Transaction, you may provide us with the Recipient’s email address and we will ask the Recipient to complete the information.
   3. We may delay or refuse to execute a Transfer Order for any reason including Suspicion of Improper Activity or breach of a Transaction Limit and may decline to provide you with the reason or an explanation.
   4. A Transfer Order will only be executed upon receipt of the Deposit of Source Currency into the Covercy Account. Upon receipt of the Deposit, the Transaction will normally be completed within 3 Business Days.
   5. As part of the Transfer Order, we will notify you of the amount of the Deposit to be made (in order to perform the Transaction and cover all associated Fees) and provide you with the Covercy Account details.
   6. If your Transfer Order or the Deposit are received before 5.00 pm (Israel Time) on a Business Day in Israel, these are deemed to have been received on that Business Day. Otherwise these are deemed to have been received as at 5.00 pm (Israel Time) on the next Business Day in Israel. For avoidance of doubt, this provision applies regardless of which member of the Covercy Group you have contracted with.
   7. Within one  Business Day of a Transfer Order, we will provide you with a “Confirmation Notice” by e-mail which will include a reference enabling you to identify the Transaction and, if appropriate, information relating to the Recipient. The Confirmation Notice will also summarise the salient details of the Transaction (including the Source Currency, the Target Currency, the amount of each currency, the exchange rate; and the amount of any Fees).
   8. A Confirmation Notice is provided to you for record keeping purposes only and does not form part of your Transaction or Transfer Order. If you have not received the Confirmation Notice, you must notify us within two Business Days of placing the Transfer Order. Otherwise, our record of your Transfer Order shall be definitive.
   9. IMPORTANT – You are responsible for ensuring the details you provide in relation to a Transfer Order are accurate and complete. Once a Transfer Order has been executed, no change or cancellation will be permitted and we will not be liable for any loss or missed opportunity you suffer as a result of a Transaction being carried out in accordance with inaccurate or incomplete instructions provided by you.
   10. If you believe that there has been an error in the calculation of the Target Currency in respect of a Transaction to which you are party, please notify us at once at support@covercy.com. If you become aware that you have received a Transfer of more than the amount that you were expecting, you must promptly repay to us the full amount of any overpayment.
6. Your rights and our obligations in relation to disputed Transactions
   1. If it comes to your attention that:
      1. we have executed a Transfer Order for your account that you did not instruct; or
      2. we have manifestly incorrectly executed a Transfer Order for your account, then we accept responsibility to investigate this matter and rectify it at our expense provided that you have drawn this to our attention as soon as reasonably possible (and at any event no later than 13 months following the value date for the disputed Transfer Order (in accordance with Regulations 74–76 (inclusive) of the PSRs if the Applicable Jurisdiction is the United Kingdom).
   2. As a matter of general principle, we will be responsible, at our cost, for correctly and promptly executing any Transfer Order which you can demonstrate has, by our error, not been correctly executed (or at all). If  for some reason, execution is no longer possible, then we will be responsible for refunding to you the value thereof, except where we can demonstrate that the Recipient that you specified has in fact received the funds that were the subject of the Transfer Order (in accordance with Regulation 91 of the PSRs where the Applicable Jurisdiction is the United Kingdom).
   3. The provisions of clauses 6.1 and 6.2 above shall not apply in the event of Suspicion of Improper Activity or where loss arises from your negligence or fraud.  In such circumstances, you will be solely liable (in accordance with Regulation 77(2) of the PSRs where the Applicable Jurisdiction is the United Kingdom).
7. Guaranteed Exchange Rates
   1. We undertake to use reasonable efforts to quote, and execute Transactions at, exchange rates aligned to the quoted mid-market rates for relevant currencies on global currency markets at the time of execution. However, we rely on aggregated third-party information sources, and we do not guarantee that the rates match any particular benchmark source at any given time.
   2. Any exchange rate presented on the Website, subject to 7.3.3 below, is good only at the time of its presentation and serves only as an indicative rate for your use of the Services at that time. We shall not be liable for any fluctuations of the exchange rate which may adversely affect the worthwhileness of any Transaction or the amount of Target Currency purchased. We are entitled to change the quoted exchange rates without notice to you up until the point at which you have successfully Deposited funds in respect of your Transfer Order into our Covercy Client Account.
   3. Fixed Target Transaction and Fixed Source Transaction
      1. You may initiate and enter into a Fixed Target Transaction and/or a Fixed Source Transaction if the Website confirms its eligibility. The quoted exchange rate will be guaranteed and applied as stated in 7.2 above at the time you Deposit funds pursuant to your Transfer Order (the “Locked-In Exchange Rate”) for the Rate Guarantee Period, as defined in clause 7.3.3 below.
      2. Ineligibility to lock in an exchange rate may be due to your Transfer Order being made:
         1. outside of a Business Day; or
         2. after 5.00 pm (Israel Time) on a Business Day in Israel.
      3. Subject to clause 7.3.4, the Rate Guarantee Period begins when you place the order and ends at the earlier of:
         1. the point in time in which the mid-market rate for the relevant currency goes 0.5% above or below (as the case may be) the rate that we present to you in the Transfer Flow; or
         2. 24 hours from Transfer Order submission, as recorded in our systems.
      4. We may extend the Rate Guarantee Period, and you hereby waive any claims against us with respect to such extension. Following the lapse of the Rate Guarantee Period, if you have failed to make a Deposit of the Source Currency into the Covercy Account, we may either contact you to re-quote your Transfer Order if needed or cancel the Transfer Order and charge you all or a part of the fees per the guidelines in clause 8.2. You hereby waive any claims against us with respect to such cancellation. We will not re-quote your Transfer Order prior to receiving your consent.
      5. We will convert the Source Currency amount at the Locked-In Exchange Rate provided that the Deposit reaches the Covercy Account within the Rate Guarantee Period, regardless of the actual mid-market rate at the time of the conversion.
      6. Where the Deposit reaches or is deemed to reach the Covercy Account after the Rate Guarantee Period has lapsed, then the Locked-In Exchange Rate will no longer apply. We may notify you of this and ask for further instructions based on market conditions at that time, or cancel your Transfer Order, per the guidelines in clause 7.3.4.
8. Cancellation of a Transaction
   1. You may cancel a Transaction at any time before the Deposit reaches (or is deemed to reach) the Covercy Account, by contacting us or cancelling online (if such option is available). This has the effect of rescinding the Transaction. For the purposes of Registered Users contracting under these Terms with Covercy Europe, the provisions of this 8.1 comply with the relevant provisions in Regulations 67 and 83 of the PSRs.
   2. Once the Deposit has or is deemed to have reached the Covercy Account, your right to cancel the relevant Transaction is lost.    However, we may allow you to cancel the Transaction if we believe it is in our and your interests to do so. In such a case where we accept your cancellation or choose to refuse the transaction, we will either;
      1. Return to you the Deposit in the currency in which it was received, less any Fees and FX conversion costs to which we may be entitled in spite of such cancellation or refusal, or;
      2. Return to you the Deposit in the target Currency of your Transfer Order, if the Deposit has already been converted by the time in which it was decided to cancel or refuse the transaction, less any fees to which we may be entitled in spite of such cancellation or refusal.
   3. For the purposes of this clause 8, money is deemed to have reached the Covercy Account in any case where a transfer you initiated to the Covercy Client Account becomes irrevocable by you.
9. Termination of Registered User status
   1. You may terminate your status as a Registered User at any time by submitting notice on the Website. Termination shall not affect the status of any pending Transfer Order, which will be completed in accordance with these Terms.
   2. We may terminate your password, account (or any part thereof) or use of the Services and the Website, for any reason, in our discretion.   We shall do so if we believe that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms upon our suspicion of your active or passive involvement of Suspicion of Improper Activity.
10. Termination or modification of the Services, etc.
    1. We may, at any time, discontinue providing the Services, or any part thereof, to you or generally, with or without notice, and we are not required to provide any reason for doing so.
    2. Any termination by us of your access to the Website and use of the Services under any provision of these Terms may be effected without prior notice, and your account and all related information and files in your account may correspondingly be deleted or deactivated; and/or further access to such information and files or the Services withheld. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any action to which this 10.2 relates.
    3. We may, at any time and from time to time, temporarily or permanently, in whole or in part:

    1. We may withhold tax from payments otherwise due to you if so required by law  and account for such withholdings to the relevant fiscal or revenue authorities.
    2. As a Registered User, you are responsible for ascertaining your personal tax status in relation to the Services and for paying any taxes or claiming any reliefs or exemptions associated with any Transaction that you instruct.
12. Fees, charges and third-party costs
    1. For our Services, we will charge you the Fees as detailed in the Fees List. The Fees List may be updated from time to time and will be made available on the Website. We will use reasonable efforts to give you reasonable notice of any changes to the Fees List, but may be unable to do so .
    2. Our responsibility is to remit the precise amount of Source Currency or Target Currency (as the case may be) that you request in each Transfer Order that you place. However, intermediaries (such as correspondent banks) or the beneficiary bank may deduct their own charges from this amount. We will use reasonable efforts to minimise these charges or avoid them arising or being set against the amount that you ask us to remit, failing which we will similarly use reasonable efforts to ensure that such charges are disclosed in the Fees. However, it is not always possible for such charges to be determined in advance of the execution of a Transaction, and in such circumstances you agree for such charges to be netted off the amount instructed for transfer .
    3. You are solely responsible for all fees charged by your own bank in relation to your use of the Services.
    4. We are not liable to meet any fees or costs in respect of any receipt of funds which the Recipient of any Transaction of yours is charged.
13. Security & Authorised personnel
    1. We may from time to time notify you of the security procedures for accessing the Services.  You agree to follow the security procedures which have been notified to you.  For these purposes, we may from time to time issue you and/or your authorised Registered Users with Security Information.
    2. You will ensure that any Security Information issued by us in relation to your use of the Services will only be used by you and your Registered Users and will not be disclosed to any other person.  You agree to put in place and maintain appropriate security arrangements for this purpose.
    3. As a minimum standard, you must ensure that you and your authorised Registered Users:
       1. always take reasonable steps to keep your Security Information secret at all times (and do not disclose details of the security procedures for any Services to anyone);
       2. never write down or record your Security Information without disguising it; and
       3. follow instructions we give you about security procedures.

    6. You will not access any Services from any computer connected to a local area network or any public internet access device or access point without first making sure that no-one else will be able to observe or copy your Security Information or get access to any Services pertaining to you.
    7.

14. ELECTRONIC SERVICES PROVIDED OVER OPEN NETWORKS
    Provision of the Services may involve information being transported over an open network, the Internet, which is accessible to anybody.  Information is therefore transmitted regularly and without control across borders.  We take reasonable steps to avoid information being intercepted and read by third parties, by our use of techniques such as encryption.

       1. immediately and without notice to terminate these Terms and all access you have to the Services; and
       2. to take such proceedings against you in the Applicable Jurisdiction (for damages, injunctive or other relief as the case may be).

    2. We are our first port of call for any queries or concerns, including complaints. We will handle these complaints in line with our complaints process. If you have a complaint concerning our services, please refer this to us in writing, in English, to complaints@covercy.com   We accept responsibility to all Registered Users for the timely investigation of all such complaints, and will normally provide a written response to you within 15 Business Days of receipt of full particulars of the complaint in question (other than where Regulations 101(6) and (7) of the PSRs apply).At times, we work with Currencycloud who, in such instances, ultimately provides you with regulated payments and e-money services. Currencycloud has certain obligations as a regulated financial services institution, including around complaints. We keep them informed of the complaints we receive from you regarding the regulated payments and e-money services they ultimately provide to you. They oversee how we handle complaints to ensure we do this to the standard required under the regulations. However, if for any reason your complaint regarding your payments and e-money services has not been acknowledged or dealt with by us, or if you have concerns about the way it has been handled, Currencycloud’s complaints information can be found here.
    3. We accept responsibility to all Registered Users for the timely investigation of all such complaints, and will normally provide a written response to you within 15 Business Days of receipt of full particulars of the complaint in question (other than where Regulations 101(6) and (7) of the PSRs apply).
    4. A Registered User in the United Kingdom is entitled to refer cases of dispute to the UK Financial Ombudsman Service, provided that he is an “eligible complainant” according to FCA Rules.  Further information on the scope of the jurisdiction of the Financial Ombudsman Service is provided on the Website and can also be obtained from www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk. Please note that generally the Financial Ombudsman Service has a jurisdiction to make awards capped at £100,000.
    5. There is no statutory regime in the United Kingdom for resolution of disputes in the case of an ineligible complainant. In cases of dispute with an ineligible complainant (or individual Registered Users whose claim of loss or damage exceeds the jurisdictional cap of the Financial Ombudsman Service), you agree that an independent form of dispute resolution, where a chartered accountant registered with the Institution for Chartered Accountants in England & Wales and nominated for the purpose by the President thereof will act as an independent expert, consider the dispute and make a determination that Covercy Europe and you will accept as final and binding in the absence of manifest error.
    6. If you are a Registered User contracting with Covercy Europe from outside the United Kingdom, or with Covercy Israel, the Covercy Group undertakes to provide access to dispute resolution mechanisms which:
       1. in the case of Covercy Europe, are broadly equivalent in the country or jurisdiction in question or that of the UK Financial Ombudsman Service; and
       2. in the case of Covercy Israel, are structured in a similar fashion to those described at 24.5 above, although with reference to a chartered accountant in Israel appointed by the President of the competent authority for the regulation of the of the Israeli accountancy profession.

    2. Subject to clause 25.1, no person other than you (as a User subject to the Applicable Regulations of the United Kingdom) and Covercy Europe has any right to enforce any provision of these Terms.
    3. The preceding provisions of this clause 25 do not apply where these Terms are not subject to English law (but this is without prejudice to any applicable analogous rights under Israeli law)
