6.6 We will also provide you with the estimated amount the Recipient will receive (the “Payout Amount“) after currency conversion and deduction of the Transaction Fee.
6.7 The actual amount that the Recipient receives may differ from the Payout Amount due to additional fees applied by banks or other service providers. Please see the section “Other fees, charges and interest”.
6.8 Once you confirm that you would like to initiate a transaction, we will generate a unique transaction identification number and provide you with funding instructions, including our bank account details or request you to provide your card details (if that is the payment method you have chosen), so that you can deposit the Transaction Amount and pay us the required Transaction Fee.
6.9 The funds will be paid onto the Recipient bank account in the Receiving Country stated in the online form. Once your Transfer has been accepted and the Transaction Amount and Transaction Fee has been received by Velure Finance we will aim to credit the Transaction Amount onto the Recipient bank account in the currency requested in the online form within the chosen Delivery Time.
6.9.1 We will not contact the Recipient when funds become available on his account.
6.9.2 We will attempt to process transactions promptly, but any transaction may be delayed or cancelled for a number of reasons including but not limited to: our efforts to verify your identity; to validate your transaction instructions; to contact you; or otherwise to comply with applicable law; or due to variations in business hours and currency availability; due to additional Compliance requirements or/and operating procedures and business guidelines our partners have in place.

These may include but are not limited to unauthorized overdraft fees imposed by banks if there are insufficient funds in your bank account or "cash advance" fees and additional interest which may be imposed by credit card providers if they treat use of the Service as a cash transaction rather than a purchase transaction.
8. Exchange rates
8.1 The foreign exchange conversion rate shown during the Service is the rate applicable for currency conversion transactions done on that particular day and time.
8.2 The exchange rates specified during the Service may fluctuate from time to time in accordance with fluctuations in international exchange rate markets.
8.3 Each time you will use the Service to transfer money, the exchange rate and the fee we are charging for the Service will be made available to you before the transaction is completed.
8.4 When you initiate a transaction, we agree to transfer the Transaction Amount to the Recipient at the rate specified during the Service at that time.
8.5 The total amount (the Transaction Amount, Service Fee and other applicable fees and charges) that you will be required to pay and the relevant exchange rate will be displayed clearly on the website before you are asked to confirm your Transaction and proceeding with the Transaction at this point is entirely optional.
8.6 This exchange rate will apply even where there is a delay in processing your transaction. When you pay for a transaction in one currency and the Recipient is paid in another currency, there will be a difference between the exchange rate at which we buy foreign currency and the exchange rate provided to you.
8.7 We are not a currency trading provider; therefore, you should not use our Services for any kind of currency trading. If we determine that you are using our Services for this purpose, you will be breaking these Terms and Conditions and we reserve the right to cancel your transfers and suspend or terminate your account without notice and at any time without liability.

9.3.1 You should contact the Recipient’s bank directly for details about any such charges that may be applicable to the transaction.
9.4 Velure Finance will have no responsibility for any fees or charges you may incur by the use of a particular Payment Instrument to fund a transaction. These may include but are not limited to unauthorized overdraft fees imposed by banks if there are insufficient funds in your bank account or “cash advance“ fees and additional interest which may be imposed by credit card providers if they treat use of the Service as a cash transaction rather than a purchase transaction.
9.5 You will not be entitled to any interest for the period during which the funds to be remitted are with the Bank, or pending remittance or are in the course of remittance, or for any other period. Velure Finance may, at any time and at our sole discretion, limit the amount to be transferred, either on a per transaction basis or on an aggregated basis.
9.6 On certain occasions intermediary bank fees may be applicable. In such cases Velure Finance may refuse to cover the fees. Velure Finance is not liable for covering fees imposed by the bank of the Recipient.
10. Cancellation and Refund
10.1 You can cancel your agreement with us after you have submitted a transaction. This right of cancellation continues until fourteen days after you have submitted the transaction, or until we have completed the contract by depositing the Transaction Amount (after conversion into the Recipient's currency) into the Recipient's bank account, whichever occurs earlier.
10.2 If you exercise your right to cancel under this clause, we may apply a cancellation fee. If you wish to cancel a transaction and/or request a refund, you can send us an email to support@velurepay.com or contact us using the contact information at the bottom of these Terms and Conditions.
10.3 We will consider your request for a refund (submitted by email, or by mail using the contact information at the bottom of these Terms and Conditions or by phone subject to satisfactory identification of the subject) if we are able to identify you as the sender.
10.4 For us to identify you, you must contact us from your registered email address, provide your full name, address, and phone number, together with the transaction identification number, Transaction Amount, and the reason for your refund request. Any refunds will be credited back to the same Payment Instrument used to fund the transaction and in the same currency unless we cannot identify Sender’s bank account.
10.5 If we cannot identify Sender’s bank account, we will contact the Sender asking to provide the same currency bank account details to refund the transfer.
10.6 For successful revocations Velure Finance will normally refund your money, to the same Payment Instrument used to fund the Transaction and in the same currency, less any reasonable revocation, recall or tracing charges and any Service Fees already charged. No adjustment will be made for any currency fluctuations which may have occurred in the meanwhile. If we do provide you a refund, we will only refund the Transaction Amount if the transaction was not paid out to the Recipient (in which case we will also cancel your pending transaction).
10.7 In circumstances when the payment has already been credited to the Recipient’s bank account, and a Sender requires a recall of the funds, they may do so. However, Velure Finance cannot guarantee cancellation will be successful.
10.8 In those circumstances we would make reasonable efforts to recover the funds. We may charge you a reasonable fee, reflective of our efforts, to do so. However, there is no guarantee that the cancellation will be successful.
