In order to use the service, you will be required to provide us with information necessary for us to verify your identity, to obtain proper bank card or bank account authorization, and to complete the money transfer in compliance with applicable federal, state and foreign laws and regulations. Recipient information and verification may also be required. When required by applicable law, money transfers will be reported to federal, state, local or foreign authorities. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current service, shall be subject to these Terms of Use. For specific information regarding our service, please contact Ria's Customer Service Team at 1-877-443-1399.
E. Currency Exchange
If you instruct us to pay out a money transfer to a recipient outside the United States in a currency ("payout currency") other than United States Dollars ("USD"), a retail exchange rate will be applied, in addition to any service charge appearing on the face of your receipt. The payout currency for such money transfer is acquired by us at a wholesale rate that fluctuates, but may approximate the wholesale rate for such payout currency listed in newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal. The difference between the retail exchange rate applied to such money transfer transaction and the wholesale exchange rate at which Ria acquired the payout currency will be kept by us and/or the paying agent as revenue, in addition to any service charges.
In connection with any money transfer payable to a recipient in a currency other than USD, the Application will provide to you the following information before you complete your payment:
- The exchange rate.
- Fees and taxes collected by us for the transaction.
- Fees and taxes collected by the paying agent in connection with the receipt of funds by the recipient, if any.
- Notification of any additional fees or foreign taxes that may apply.
- Total amount expected to be delivered to the recipient.
Additionally, after you complete payment, Ria will deliver to you an electronic receipt containing the information described above as proof of payment, plus the expected arrival date of the funds and instructions on how to cancel or report a problem with the money transfer to Ria or the appropriate governmental authority.
The paying agent must pay out money transfers in the payout currency indicated in the money transfer payment instructions.
F. Payment Authorization
When you initiate and submit a money transfer transaction on the Application, you authorize Ria to charge your designated debit card or bank account for the amount of such money transfer transaction and Ria's associated service charge. You are responsible for ensuring that your designated payment method has sufficient funds or credit available for payment of your money transfer transaction. If Ria executes payment of a money transfer pursuant to your money transfer instructions and subsequently is advised that your designated debit card or bank account had insufficient funds available, you remain liable to Ria for the full amount of any such payment of the money transfer by Ria and the Ria's associated service charge. You authorize us to initiate debit and credit entries to your bank account in connection with the money transfer service. You also authorize us to initiate credits and debits to correct errors. This authorization shall remain in full force and effect until we have received notification from you of its termination; you may revoke your authorization only by notifying us by telephone at 1-877-443-1399 or in a written letter sent to 7000 Village Dr, Ste 200, Buena Park, CA 90621. Attn: Customer Service that is received at least three (3) days prior to the proposed effective date of the termination of authorization. You agree that all transactions authorized by you shall comply with all applicable federal, state and foreign law.
Money transfers that have been authorized by a user shall be processed only on the condition that the issuer of the debit card, or the user's bank, has authorized the corresponding charges or debits. Each user using the service acknowledges and agrees that Ria is authorized to charge the debit card, or debit the respective bank account, for the principal amount of the money transfer, the service charge, and any other applicable fees. The issuing bank for your debit card or the financial institution where your bank account is open may also have terms and conditions that apply to your use of the debit card or bank account (as applicable) and you must refer to such agreement(s) in order to determine user's rights, obligations and liabilities as a cardholder or account holder, which may include the assessment of cash advance or other fees. Money transfer receipts will not display fees assessed by user's bank or the issuer of user's credit card or debit card.
G. Services Charges and Additional Fees
In consideration of your use of the service, you agree to pay a service charge per money transfer executed through the Application. The service charge will be charged to the debit card, or bank account you identify as the payment method for your money transfer transaction. The service charge (in addition to any other applicable fees charged by us directly or on behalf of any U.S. federal or state governmental authority) will be displayed online for your authorization prior to submission of the money transfer. Our service charge schedule is subject to change from time to time in our sole and absolute discretion. In addition to any fees charged by Ria, a money transfer may be subject to additional fees assessed by the U.S. federal government, the U.S. state where the money transfer originates, the government of the destination country, or the financial institution in the destination country at which your recipient holds a bank account.
H. Money Transfer Processing and Delivery Schedule
After we have verified your identity, received proper debit card or bank authorization and completed the screening for proper compliance with the various applicable laws and regulations, the money transfer is promptly made available to the designated recipient for pick up at a paying agent location. 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 destination country or point-of-payment (including without limitation the paying agent's hours of operation), and/or the accuracy of the information provided by the user. Money transfers will normally be paid to the recipient by cash or check or bank account deposit, as specifically designated by you in your payment instructions.
I. Money Transfer Cancellations and Refunds (For all U.S. states except California)
If you instruct us through the Application to pay a money transfer to a designated recipient and later request that we stop the payment of such transaction, we will need to check first with the paying agent to determine if the money transfer has been paid to the recipient. If we can confirm that payment has not been made, the money transfer will be cancelled and we will refund the amount of the money transfer, including the service charge. Your refund will be in USD. All refunds shall be available within thirty (30) calendar days of the stop order or as soon as the refunds are returned by the paying agent and, whichever is first. For further information or to file a complaint, please contact our customer service team at 1-877-443-1399.

During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or us shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or we are entitled. You and we agree, upon written demand made by you or us, to submit to binding arbitration all disputes, controversies, and claims, whether based on contract, tort, fraudulent misrepresentation, statute, regulation, constitution, common law, equity, or any other legal basis or theory, and whether pre-existing, present, or future, that arise out of or relate to this Agreement, money transfer services, or the benefits provided by them, or any advertisements, promotions, or oral or written statements related to money transfer services, or the relationships that result from the purchase and use of money transfer services, or the scope or enforceability of this agreement, including the determination of the applicability of this agreement to arbitrate. The arbitration tribunal shall consist of a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, or in the absence of such agreement within thirty (30) days from the first referral of the dispute to AAA, designated by AAA. The arbitrator shall be an active member in good standing of the bar for any state in the continental United States and shall be either actively engaged in the practice of law for at least 5 years, or a retired judge. You and we understand that in an arbitration, discovery is more limited than in a court and review by courts is very limited. The place of arbitration shall be Los Angeles, California or, if you so elect within fifteen (15) days from the first referral of the dispute to AAA, in the federal judicial district of your residence, and you will be given the opportunity to attend the proceeding and be heard. The arbitral award shall be final and binding. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All parties retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the jurisdictional limits of the small claims court.
Each party retains the right to seek judicial assistance: (a) to compel arbitration; (b) to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies or measures of protection prior to or pending arbitration; (c) to seek injunctive relief in the courts of any jurisdiction as may be necessary and appropriate to enforce intellectual property rights; and (d) to enforce any decision of the arbitrator, including the final award. In no event shall any party be entitled to punitive, exemplary or similar damages. You and we agree that the arbitrator: (i) shall limit discovery to non-privileged matters directly relevant to the arbitrated dispute; (ii) shall grant only relief that is based upon and consistent with substantial evidence and applicable substantive law; (iii) shall have authority to grant relief only with respect to claims asserted by or against you individually; and (iv) shall provide a written statement stating the disposition of each claim and a concise written explanation of the basis for the award and shall make specific findings of fact and conclusions of law to support any arbitration award. Unless inconsistent with applicable law, and except as otherwise provided herein, each party shall bear the expense of its respective attorney, expert, and witness fees, regardless of which party prevails in the arbitration. We will pay to AAA the portion of the arbitration filing fee that exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit in the federal court where you live. If you are unable to pay the filing fee, we will pay it directly upon receiving a written request. We will pay all of the remaining administration fees and other costs, including the arbitrator's fees, for any non-frivolous claim (measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)) that does not exceed $15,000. For all other claims, the arbitrator will decide whether we or you ultimately will be responsible for paying any fees or other costs in connection with the arbitration under the applicable rules. If we made a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, and the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits that is greater than the value of Ria’s last settlement offer, then we will: (i) pay you the amount of the arbitrator's award or $5,500 (the "alternative award") whichever is greater; and (ii) pay your attorney twice the amount of reasonable attorneys' fees, plus reimbursement for expenses (including expert witness fees and costs), that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing and pursuing your claims in arbitration (the "attorney premium"). If we did not make a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, and the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits, you and your attorney will be entitled to receive the alternative award and the attorney premium, respectively. If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this arbitration provision will remain valid and enforceable. This arbitration provision shall survive expiration or termination of the Agreement.
