1.2 Defined Terms. Please note that where words used in these Terms are capitalised, they have a specific meaning. We have included a table, setting out the meanings of these capitalised terms, at the end of the clause where the capitalised term is first used.

They explain many of your responsibilities to us and our responsibilities to you, how and when each Contract and these Terms can be terminated and the extent of our liability to you. If there are any terms that you do not understand or do not wish to agree to, please contact us. You should only complete the sign-on procedures and agree to the Terms and enter into Contracts if you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1.4 Are you a Charity or a Micro-Enterprise? These terms differ depending on whether or not you are a Small Charity or a MicroEnterprise in clauses 14, 15 and 28.9. The remainder of the terms are the same no matter if you are a Charity, a MicroEnterprise or not.

Upon acceptance of the provided rate the amount in the requested currency will be converted. Once the amount of converted money is available in client’s account the client provides transaction information to GPG. GPG instructs the credit institution which safeguards the clients’ funds to transfer the funds to the beneficiary’s bank/PSP account.

The Company provides the Services on a fee basis. This means that for the Services, the Company delivers to the Client, it retains a Commission.
The Commission amount is specified at the moment of making a Transaction or Exchange Operation. When making a Transaction or Exchange Operation the Client agrees to the Commission amount withheld by the Company.
The Commission for the Services is withheld from the Account Balance separately from the amount of funds you are willing to transfer or exchange.

Provided that the Account Balance is insufficient to withhold the outstanding amounts the Company will issue an invoice that the Client shall pay within 15 calendar days since the invoice was submitted.
