Ria provides customers with the ability to send funds ("Money Transfer") to designated beneficiaries thereof (each a "Beneficiary") in many countries around the world. In order to send funds, you may be required to provide Ria with information necessary for us to verify your identity to complete the Money Transfer in compliance with US federal and state laws and regulations. When required by applicable law, Money Transfers will be reported to federal, state, local or foreign authorities. For information regarding the use of your information, please read Ria's Privacy Policy. After Ria has completed the screening for proper compliance with the various applicable laws and regulations, the funds will promptly be made available to the Beneficiary for pick up. The speed of payment of a Money Transfer varies depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the amount of the transaction, the restrictions of the point-of-payment, and/or the accuracy of the information provided by the user. Money Transfers will normally be paid to the Beneficiary in cash. Ria reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to: (i) reject a proposed Money Transfer; (ii) limit the amount of a Money Transfer; (iii) require additional information to complete a Money Transfer; and/or (iv) take reasonable measures with respect to a Money Transfer in an effort to comply with applicable laws and regulations. These factors may result in a delay in the date available indicated for your Money Transfer. For specific information regarding your Money Transfer, please contact Ria's Customer Service Department, (877) 443-1399.

SERVICE FEE

In the event that you avail yourself of the Service by staging your Money Transfer on the Walmart App, for subsequent payment at a physical Walmart retail location, the Service Fee actually due at the time of payment may differ from the Service Fee indicated at the time the Money Transfer was staged on the Walmart App due to a variety of factors, such as: the number of days between the date you entered and saved the transaction through the Walmart app and the date you appeared at a Walmart location to make the payment, or taxes that may be applicable in the state where you seek to make the payment.

REFUNDS

Refunds Applicable to Money Transfers – All States.

Refunds of the Money Transfer amount, and subsequent cancellation of the underlying transaction, will be made upon your valid written request if payment of the Money Transfer has not yet been made to the Beneficiary at the time the refund request is processed by Ria. To stop a payment, Ria will first have to check with Walmart to determine whether payment of the Money Transfer has been made to the Beneficiary. If Ria can confirm that payment has not been made, the funds will be returned and Ria will refund such amount to the customer including the Service Fee. Except in the case of events beyond Ria's control, RIA will refund the transfer amount plus fees and taxes for requests received within sixty (60) days of the order date. If you lose your receipt you will only be eligible for a refund of the transfer amount. RIA will only process refunds in the same state the transaction was conducted. RIA will refund only the transfer amount for requests received after sixty (60) days from the order date.

Right-to-Refund (Applicable to Money Transfers Originating in California):

You, the customer, are entitled to a refund of the money to be transmitted as the result of this agreement if Ria does not forward the money received from you within ten (10) days of the date of its receipt, or does not give instructions committing an equivalent amount of money to the person designated by you within ten (10) days of the date of the receipt of the funds from you unless otherwise instructed by you. If your instructions as to when the moneys shall be forwarded or transmitted are not complied with and the money has not yet been forwarded or transmitted you have a right to a refund of your money.

If you want a refund, you must mail or deliver your written request to Ria at 7000 Village Drive, Suite 200, Buena Park, CA 90621.
