- You will not access, use or attempt to use the Service as a Sender unless you are at least 18 years old, and that You have the legal capacity to form a binding legal contract in the relevant jurisdiction;

- for each Transaction that you submit, you will pay the Service Fee in addition to the Transaction Amount. Payment becomes due at the time that you submit your Transaction. If you submit a Transaction that results in Colow-so becoming liable for charges including but not limited to chargeback or other fees, you agree to reimburse Colow-so for all such fees;

Colow-so and its Service Providers usually make a small profit in these circumstances. If such account is denominated in another currency the amount to be received by the Recipient will be reduced by the amount of extra charges incurred by reason of the incorrect information given by you and we will have no obligation to make good such reduction;

If Colow-so reasonably believes you are using the Service to purchase goods or services, we reserve the right to cancel your Transaction(s);

- Both You and the Recipients will only act on your own behalf. You may not submit or receive a Transaction on behalf of a third person. If you intend to submit or receive a Transaction on behalf of a company, business or any entity other than a human individual, you must first inform Colow-so of your desire to do so and provide us with any additional information about the entity we may request in order that we may decide whether to permit the Transaction;

Any and all refunds will be credited back to the same Payment Method used to fund the Transaction and in the same currency. No adjustment will be made for any currency fluctuations which may have occurred in the meanwhile.
