7.3. Customer Acknowledgements: SENDS is not a credit institution (bank), and the Customer's Account does not constitute a bank account. SENDS does not act as a trustee, fiduciary, or escrow holder in relation to E-Money held in the Customer's Account. E-Money held within SENDS does not accrue interest, and SENDS does not provide interest on balances in the Customer's Account. The Customer's funds held with SENDS are not covered by any deposit protection scheme, including the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
7.4. Safeguarding: SENDS ensures the safeguarding of funds received from or on behalf of Customers in exchange for E-Money by maintaining dedicated accounts with licensed financial institutions in the designated safeguarding accounts held with appropriately authorised credit institutions, adhering to the requirements set forth by applicable law.
SENDS will deposit Customer funds in a segregated client account which is separate from SENDS' own money. In the event of the insolvency of SENDS, safeguard accounts should not form part of the assets of the business.

Any individual accessing the Account using the Login Authorisation Data will be considered the Customer, and all transactions or activities conducted under the Account will be attributed to the Customer without further clarification from SENDS. SENDS retains the right to request additional identification elements as necessary to verify the Customer's identity.
8.3. The availability of SENDS Payment Methods for adding, withdrawing, or transferring funds to or from the Account is dependent on various factors, including the Customer's residency and verification status. SENDS does not guarantee the continuous availability of any specific SENDS Payment Method, and the offering of such methods may change or be discontinued without prior notice to the Customer.

By doing so, the Customer authorises SENDS to receive funds on their behalf from the chosen payment service provider, deducting any applicable fees, and crediting the corresponding E-money to the Customer's Account.
8.6. Direct debits8.6.1. A direct debit is any payment which is taken from your Account by the person you are making the payment to. It involves an agreement between you and a third party, allowing for automatic withdrawals that can occur regularly or occasionally. The difference between a direct debit and other payments is that a direct debit is initiated and collected by the payee, not initiated by you, and they must have your consent to do so.8.6.2. Direct debits are set up by the person you are paying and their bank. Their bank will contact us to tell us that you have given your permission for the direct debit and give a mandate to charge the account. This mandate authorises us to collect payments from your Account on their instruction. They will determine the amount of the payment and contact us to collect it too.8.6.3. On the date on which a direct debit is to be collected, we will attempt to collect the payment from your account in the currency of the direct debit. If there isn't enough money in any currency to cover the payment, the direct debit will be returned.8.6.4. You are in control of your direct debit. You can also cancel direct debits before they are made. You can also cancel a direct debit before they are made. To stop a direct debit going out, you need to contact us at least 2 working days before the payment's due. Once your Direct Debit is cancelled, all future automatic payments under your agreement with that third party will be stopped. If you cancel a direct debit, you may still owe a third party for any goods or services that you receive but have not paid for.8.6.5. Even if it is too late to cancel a direct debit, you may be entitled to a refund. If you have made a direct debit in pounds sterling to an account in the UK (through the Bacs scheme), you can ask us to request a refund by making a Direct Debit Indemnity Claim on your behalf under the Direct Debit Guarantee Scheme (directdebit.co.uk/direct-debit-guarantee/). The outcome of your claim will depend on the rules of the Bacs scheme. To request a refund, contact us and we will let you know if your refund is successful.

The transfer purpose should align with the Customer's specified business nature provided during the Account application process. Once a transfer is initiated, it cannot be cancelled or altered.
8.15. Transfer Completion Time: SENDS will make reasonable efforts to ensure that funds arrive in the recipient's bank account or payment account within the estimated timeframe provided to the Customer.

24. Partner Services
24.1. Nature of Partner Services. From time to time SENDS may make Partner Services available to the Customer through the SENDS Portal and SENDS APP. Partner Services are provided by the relevant Partner and not by SENDS. When SENDS makes a Partner Service available, SENDS acts only as a distributor, introducer or technical channel that connects the Customer with the Partner. SENDS is not the provider, seller or supplier of the Partner Service, and it does not form part of the regulated payment services or electronic money services that SENDS provides to the Customer.
24.2. Separate contract with the Partner. When the Customer orders, activates or purchases a Partner Service, the Customer enters into a separate contract with the relevant Partner on the Partner Terms. The Customer is responsible for reading and accepting the Partner Terms before using the Partner Service. If there is any conflict between this Agreement and the Partner Terms, the Partner Terms govern the Partner Service, except that this Agreement continues to govern the payment and electronic money services that SENDS provides to the Customer.
24.3. Eligibility and separate acceptance. Partner Services may carry their own eligibility criteria, age limits and territorial restrictions set by the Partner. The Customer must meet those criteria and separately accept the Partner Terms. SENDS may decline to make a Partner Service available to the Customer where required by law, by the Partner, or by its own risk and compliance controls.
24.4. Payment for Partner Services. Where the Customer pays for a Partner Service, the Customer authorises SENDS to process that payment using the funds in the Account or the payment method that the Customer selects. Amounts the Customer pays for a Partner Service are collected for, and are due to, the relevant Partner. Once paid to the Partner, those amounts are not electronic money held for the Customer and are not safeguarded by SENDS on the Customer's behalf. SENDS may receive a commission or fee from a Partner, or share revenue with a Partner, and will disclose this if the law requires.
24.5. Cancellation and refunds for Partner Services. The Customer's rights to cancel a Partner Service and to receive a refund are set out in the Partner Terms and in any consumer protection law that applies to the Customer. Refunds for Partner Services are the responsibility of the Partner. SENDS will pass on to the Customer any refund it receives from a Partner, but SENDS is not itself liable to refund the Customer for a Partner Service.
24.6. Responsibility and liability for Partners. SENDS does not control or endorse Partner Services and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, is not responsible or liable for a Partner Service, including its availability, quality, performance or fitness for purpose, or for any act or omission of the Partner. This does not limit any liability that cannot be excluded by law, and it does not affect the rights the Customer has against the Partner under the Partner Terms or against SENDS for the payment and electronic money services SENDS provides.
24.7. Complaints regarding Partner Services. Complaints about a Partner Service should be made to the relevant Partner using the contact details in the Partner Terms, and will be handled by the relevant Partner. Complaints about the payment or electronic money service SENDS provides should be made to SENDS under Section 22. A complaint about a Partner Service is not normally eligible for referral to the Financial Ombudsman Service, because the Partner Service is not a regulated activity carried on by SENDS.
24.8. Sharing personal data with Partners. Where the Customer requests a Partner Service, SENDS may share personal data with the relevant Partner as described in the Privacy Policy, and the Partner may process the Customer's personal data as a separate controller under its own privacy notice. Where the Customer's consent is required before SENDS shares the Customer's personal data with a Partner, SENDS will obtain that consent first.
24.9. Suspension and withdrawal of Partner Services. SENDS may suspend, withdraw or discontinue any Partner Service at any time, including where the Partner stops providing it or where required by law or by SENDS's risk and compliance controls.
