Accordingly, we may convert your money at the applicable exchange rate at the time we receive your money or we may email you and ask you if you want to proceed with your transfer at the new exchange rate.
• d) If the Wise exchange rate changes by 5% or more during the Guaranteed Period, we can, at our discretion, suspend your transfer for a reasonable period of time or cancel your transfer and refund the money to you.
• e) For certain currencies, including where you are paying for a Money Transfer with Japanese Yen (JPY), the guaranteed rate will only be offered after your address has been verified by us.

• a) we have breached this Agreement; or
• b) there was an unauthorised use of your payment instrument, meaning that you did not execute or authorise the payment.

You agree that you will not exercise your chargeback right for any other reason, including a dispute with your overseas bank. If we need to investigate or take any actions in connection with a chargeback caused by or related to you, we may charge you for our costs in doing so and may deduct those costs from your Money Transfer or limit or remove your access to our Services. See “What happens if you owe us money” at section 18.9.

In the event that we are unable to return the deposit, then we will contact you using the most current contact information that you have provided to us.

13.10 When we receive your request. If your Money Transfer request is received by us after 5pm Beijing time on a Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day (e.g., a weekend or bank holiday), your Money Transfer will be deemed received on the following Business Day.

13.11 What happens after you have submitted your Money Transfer request.

You should quote this number when communicating with us about a particular Money Transfer or other transaction.

13.12 Delay in transfer. We may delay processing a Money Transfer in certain situations, including if we need to confirm that the transaction has been authorised by you, as a result of verification checks or due diligence reviews. Wise is not responsible for such delays.

We cannot guarantee that such efforts will be successful as they rely on the policies and practices of other banks and institutions. This means that if you provide an incorrect account number, your funds will most likely go to the wrong account.

13.19 Finality. When you make a Money Transfer, the settlement and payout to your overseas bank account is final and irrevocable unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or pursuant to applicable law.

If you have a dispute with any third party (including third party bank) that you send money to from using the Services, you release Wise from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. This means that you must use caution when dealing with third parties using our Services or your Wise profile.

In entering into this release you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise) that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favour at the time of agreeing to this release.

We will not be liable to you if for any reason our Services are unavailable at any time or for any period.

17.13 You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to our Services. If you have granted permission to a third party to access our Services, we may refuse access to that third party if we are concerned about unauthorised or fraudulent access by that third party.
