Do not access or use the Service if you do not agree to be bound by the User Agreement. By accessing and using the Service, you are agreeing to the User Agreement.

As used throughout this User Agreement, the terms "TranZlanta", "we", "us", and "our" refer to TranZlanta Financial Services LLC, a Washington based Limited Liability Company, together with its employees, directors, successors, affiliates, and assignees. The terms "you" and "your" refer to users of the Service, whether in their capacity as Senders, Recipients, or visitors to this website.

OVERVIEW OF THE SERVICE

The Service was created to help TranZlanta customers send money to families and friends in The Gambia. We recommend that you use the Service only to send money to people you know personally. You should never use the Service to send money to strangers. The Service allows people to send and receive money. A "Sender" is someone who uses the Service to send money. A "Recipient" is someone who uses the Service to receive money. The "Destination Country" is the country in which the Recipient receives money through the Service. A "Transaction" is a specific instruction to send money through the Service. The "Transaction Amount" is the amount that the Sender provides for transmittal to the Recipient, excluding applicable fees and prior to any foreign exchange conversion. The "Payout Amount" is the amount paid out to the Recipient, excluding any taxes or charges that may be levied under the laws of the Destination Country (the "Local Taxes").

ACCESSING THE SERVICE

  • Eligible Users. You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to access or use the Service as a Sender. You must be able to form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Other restrictions may apply.
  • Not Available to Certain Residents. The Service may not be available in whole or in part in different states, countries, and jurisdictions.
  • Unless authorized by the U.S. Government, TranZlanta prohibits money transmission services, to destinations subject to U.S. embargoes or trade sanctions.
  • Offer and Acceptance. If you submit a Transaction, you are requesting that we process your Transaction, an offer which we may accept or reject at our sole discretion from our place of business in Lacey, Washington

PAYMENT Charges

For each transaction that you submit, you agree to pay us a service fee plus the Transaction Amount. Additional charges may apply. Payment is due at the time you submit your Transaction. TranZlanta only accepts payment in U.S. Dollars. If you submit a transaction that results in TranZlanta being charged with NSF fees, chargeback fees, or other similar fees, you agree to reimburse us for all such fees. In some instances, for Transactions funded from the Sender's bank account, you agree that TranZlanta may charge your bank account for less than the amount of the transfer (i.e., for a transfer of $500, TranZlanta may debit the bank account for $499.98), as part of our effort to confirm ownership of the account.

Payment

In order for us to collect payment from you, you authorize us to access, charge, or debit funds from any of the payment instruments you provide us in connection with your use of the Service (each, a "Payment Instrument" including, for example, your credit card, debit card or bank account). If your payment fails or is insufficient, you authorize us to re-try one or more times using the same or a different Payment Instrument. For example, if there are insufficient funds in your bank account at the time you submit your Transaction, we may try to debit your bank account or charge your credit card at a later time. You represent and warrant that you are the lawful owner of

Other Charges

TranZlanta is not responsible for any fees or charges that may be imposed by the financial institutions associated with your Payment Instruments. For example (without limitation), some credit card issuers may treat the use of your credit card to use the Service as a "cash advance" rather than a purchase transaction, and may impose additional fees and interest rates for the transaction. TranZlanta is not responsible for any insufficient funds charges, NSF fees, chargeback fees, or other, similar charges that might be imposed on you by your bank, credit card issuer, or other provider.

Foreign Currencies

TranZlanta and its Associates (defined below) usually make money when you pay for a Transaction in one currency, and the Transaction is paid out in another, based on the difference between the exchange rate at which we buy foreign currency and the exchange rate provided to you. You agree that, when you send a Transaction to a Recipient's bank account, that the bank account is denominated in the same currency as the Transaction.

Verification

Recipients may be required to prove their identity before receiving funds by presenting valid, unexpired identification papers from a list of acceptable forms of identification. In addition, Recipients may be required to provide a Transaction tracking number, a personal identification number (or PIN), a "password", a "secret word", and/or another, similar identifier associated with their Transaction. You give TranZlanta permission to store all such data, as necessary to provide the Service.

RESTRICTIONS
