‍

8.2. You can make a request to enter into an Instant Transfer by logging onto the Island Pay Application and following the on-screen instructions. You will need to enter the Counterparty’s details requested on the Island Pay Application (the ‘unique identifier’) in order to request entry into an Instant Transfer. It is your responsibility to make sure that the Counterparty’s unique identifier is entered correctly. Any error may result in the Instant Transfer being unsuccessful or delayed. We shall not be liable for any losses you incur from entering an incorrect unique identifier.

‍

8.3. If the Counterparty is already an Island Pay User, you will be informed on the Island Pay Application, prior to confirming your request to enter into the Instant Transfer, of:

the amount and currency of Electronic Money you wish to send to the Counterparty

8.4. In order to submit the request to enter into the Instant Transfer, you will need to confirm the details which have been entered by touching the button labeled “Send” on the relevant part of the Island Pay Application. Once you have provided confirmation (provided the Counterparty is an Island Pay User), then at this time we will have been deemed to have received your request to enter into the Instant Transfer.

‍

8.5. If the Counterparty is not an Island Pay User, then the request to enter into an Instant Transfer shall be pending for 72 hours (excluding weekends and bank holidays in the Bahamas). The request to enter into the Instant Transfer will not be deemed as received until the Counterparty is approved as an Island Pay User, within the 72 hours (excluding weekends and bank holidays in the Bahamas) that the Instant Transfer is pending. The Counterparty will receive an SMS with instructions on how to open an Island Pay Account. You authorise Island Pay to send an SMS to the Counterparty on your behalf. If the Counterparty does not sign-up to Island Pay within 72 hours of the SMS being sent to them, then the pending Instant Transfer will be terminated.

‍

8.6. If the Counterparty is not an Island Pay User then:

the request to enter into the Instant Transfer will be pending and will not be deemed to have been received by us until the non-Island Pay User has been accepted as an Island Pay User;
the Instant Transfer should be completed at the latest by the end of the Business Day following the day upon which the Counterparty becomes an Island Pay User, provided the Counterparty becomes an Island Pay User before the pending Instant Transfer lapses.

Your Balance and Negative Balances

A real time balance may not take into account pending debits and credits. Island Pay will provide you with information on pending debits and credits as soon as it has that information.

‍

12.2. If for any reason (including, but not limited to, any technical errors on our behalf or on behalf of our third-party providers) you have a negative balance in your Island Pay Electronic Money Account, you agree to immediately Top-Up the required amount to correct the negative balance, such amounts being due without the need for previous notification. If you fail to do so we may:

initiate a chargeback procedure for any specific transaction which led to your Island Pay Electronic Money Account having a negative balance;
take debt collection measures including but not limited to mandating a debt collection agency or solicitors or to pursue the claim in court. We reserve the right to charge you the expenses we reasonably incur in connection with any debt collection or enforcement efforts;
request that you complete a Top-Up in order to correct a negative balance. It you fail to do so within 7 Business Days, you authorise us to initiate a payment transaction for the amount of the negative balance (or the equivalent in another currency) from one of your Credit Cards or User Bank Accounts.

the other party is subject to a bankruptcy, insolvency, winding up or other similar event; and/or
the result of laws, payment scheme rules, regulatory authority rules or guidance or any change in or any introduction thereof (or change in the interpretation or application thereof) means that it is unlawful or contrary to any such law, rules, order or regulations for either of the parties to perform or give effect to any of its obligations hereunder and such obligation cannot be readily severed from these Terms.

27.4. Without prejudice to any rights that have accrued under these Terms or any of the party’s rights or remedies, we may at any time terminate these Terms with immediate effect by giving written notice to you if:

we are unable to verify your information in the manner set out in these Terms;
you die;
we have reason to believe that your use of the Island Pay Services: damages, corrupts, degrades, destroys and/or otherwise adversely affects the Island Pay Services, or any other software, firmware, hardware, data, systems or networks accessed or used by you;
there is a significant fluctuation (either positive or negative) in the aggregate number of Island Pay Transactions you enter into;

we are unable to provide the Island Pay Services to you through the inability of any third party to provide us with any good and/or service that we require to provide the Island Pay Services to you.

27.5. Other actions we may take. If you have breached the terms of these Terms (including a breach of your obligation to pay us any amount owing), we are otherwise entitled to terminate these Terms, or we may: suspend your use of the Island Pay Services (in whole or in part) in which case we will not treat any order for an Island Pay Transaction that you may wish to make as being received by us; report any Island Pay Transaction or any other relevant information about you and your use of the Island Pay Services to the relevant regulatory authority, law enforcement agency and/or government department; and/or if appropriate, seek damages from you.
