We do not provide any warranties, representations, conditions or guarantees with respect to such goods and services.
6.5 Payments are subject to fees including currency conversion fees (if applicable).
6.6 Transactions are displayed in your online transactions history together with the date of receipt or transmission (the credit or debit value date), the fees charged and, where applicable, any exchange rate used.

You should quote this transaction ID when communicating with us about a particular transaction. You should check your INOVAPAY Account balance and transaction history regularly. You should report any irregularities or clarify any questions you have as soon as possible by contacting Customer Service.
6.7 You must give consent to the execution of a Transaction for it to be authorised. You agree that by pressing the “agree” button or entering your Account ID Information (or any equivalent button or process whereby you submit the required Transaction information) you are confirming that you are providing consent for the Transaction to be processed and for the relevant Fees to be charged and deducted from your INOVAPAY Account. All Transactions made using your Account ID Information or any other security procedures that we require are deemed to be authorised by you. You also agree that once consent has been provided by you, the authorised Transaction can no longer be revoked. To this extent, the time of receipt of the Transaction request (and therefore the time of consent) is the time when the “agree” button has been pressed (or such equivalent button or process).
6.8 You acknowledge that your intended recipient of a Transaction from your INOVAPAY Account is not required to accept the Transaction. If an intended recipient declines a Transaction from your INOVAPAY Account, your INOVAPAY Account will be re-credited with the amount of the Transaction and no Fees will be charged.
6.9 If you receive funds into your INOVAPAY Account that were not intended to be transferred to you, we will be entitled to remove these funds from your Account.
6.10 You must ensure that the payment details you enter when making a Withdrawal are correct and complete. We will not be liable for withdrawn funds being sent to the wrong account where this is due to you providing incorrect payment details. When withdrawing to a bank account, you must ensure that the account number, sort code, IBAN and/or BIC/SWIFT or any other applicable unique identifier provided to you by your Financial Institution are correct. If you have withdrawn funds to the wrong account, you may request that we assist you in reclaiming the funds. However, we will charge you an administration fee of up to 100 USD for doing so and we cannot guarantee that the reclaim efforts will be successful.

We shall be entitled to charge you for any reasonable expenses we incur as a result of any negative balance on your Account.
