To become a Ceyron user, Customers will be subject to the requirements of the money services business. Downloading the Ceyron app and signing up for a Ceyron mobile wallet does not create a checking account or any other form of bank account for you or the payee with Ceyron or any of its sub-distributors.
P2P money transfers
To manage your money securely there are transactional and daily limits on your wallet. These limits comply with the Money Services Business Regulations. You can access the funds available in your e-wallet at any time using the Mobile Ceyron app. You shall authorize your transactions with your secret PIN code that you create when you register, or by any other method that we may require from time to time.
You agree to pay the amount of money transfer fees and other charges for each transfer initiated or requested in the Ceyron Application. By requesting a money transfer through the App, you authorize Ceyron to charge your wallet for the requested transfer amount and applicable service charges. You understand and acknowledge that Ceyron has no obligation to process or effect a requested transfer if Ceyron is for any reason prevented from obtaining funds from your wallet for the requested transfer amount and charge.
You represent and warrant that all information you enter into the Ceyron Application regarding money transfer is accurate and complete. When processing money transfers, Ceyron relies on the registration information and mobile money transfer information you provide. You acknowledge that any error(s) or omission(s) in the information, including incorrect identification of the beneficiary (ies), errors and inconsistencies in account numbers are your full and entire responsibility and that Ceyron will have no responsibility for the execution of a money transfer on the basis of inaccurate or incomplete information provided or entered by the User.
Ceyron reserves the right to establish specific identification and verification requirements for a recipient so that they can receive funds from a money transfer, subject to respecting your rights and those of the beneficiary or Beneficiaries with regard to the protection of personal data and within the limits authorized by the regulations in force in the fight against corruption, money laundering and the financing of terrorism. You expressly agree that Ceyron may rely in good faith, without further investigation, on identifying information or documentation provided by you or a Recipient, including any code or number identifying the mobile money transfer, when paying funds to the Beneficiary. You acknowledge and agree that Ceyron has the right to refuse to deliver payment to the Recipient if Ceyron cannot sufficiently verify the identity of the Recipient. As long as it is clearly specified in this Agreement that Ceyron has the right to establish specific identification and verification requirements, the inability of the Beneficiary to comply with such requirements provides a reason for Ceyron to have the right to refuse the issuance of mobile money transfer.
Ceyron has the right to reject your money transfer request or refuse to complete a money transfer request or impose a limitation on your money transfer, without cause or notice in the cases provided by the regulations applicable to the money transfer business. Notwithstanding the above, Ceyron may suspend, delay or reject your money transfer request:
(A) If the value of one or more of your money transfer requests exceeds any transfer limits set for Ceyron Services;
(B) If Ceyron is unable to charge your wallet for the requested money transfer amount and associated charges;
(C) If your request is incomplete or imprecise;
(D) If Ceyron . is unable to confirm your identity or verify any registration information or that of a recipient, including their identity;
(E) If Ceyron has any suspicion of any fraudulent or illegal or irregular acts relating to the requested transaction;
(F) If Ceyron and/or Ceyron Agents are unable to accommodate your request for any reason; or
(G) For any other reason that Ceyron, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate or necessary.
You understand and agree that if your money transfer request is rejected for any reason, you will be notified of the rejection by SMS - text message, or on your next online session, or by email, or by any other reasonable means of notification.
Ceyron reserves the right to prevent a Customer that has been involved or seriously suspected to have been involved with any fraud, illegal action or gross breach of the provisions of these CGUs, from using the Ceyron Services until further notice.
You fully agree that if Ceyron refuses to complete a money transfer request for any of the reasons set out in section 6.5 above, Ceyron has the right to be reimbursed for any fees or expenses and has the right to retain any authorized charges, which it may have incurred in connection with the money transfer you requested.
If Ceyron is unable to complete the disbursement of the money transfer to the recipient because you have provided incorrect or incomplete information about the recipient, such as an incorrect phone number or any other error, you will be responsible for any charges, fees, expenses and consequential losses. Ceyron undertakes to return the money transfer to you, deducting the processing costs, losses resulting therefrom due to fluctuations in rates where applicable, service charges and foreign exchange commissions where applicable.
Security and unauthorized use
In order to ensure the confidentiality of access to the Ceyron service, the identification procedure is based on the composition of a personal and secret four (4) digit code (“PIN code”) unique and specific, chosen by the Customer during the activation procedure of their electronic wallet. The validation of each Transaction must be confirmed by this PIN code. The confirmation of a transaction by this code irrevocably and entirely exonerates Ceyron . from any liability.
You are responsible for protecting your PIN, which must be kept secret, and for all transactions that take place on your wallet with your PIN code. It is recommended that you do not communicate this PIN code to third parties; it should be kept very confidential and should never be written on a document. The User must ensure that the PIN code is always dialed out of sight of any individual. Failure to comply with these instructions irrevocably and entirely exonerates Ceyron . in the event of fraudulent use of this code.
If at any time you believe or know that your cell phone or PIN has been stolen or compromised, you can reach our customer service center by the following means: [email protected] or on the following numbers: +1.819.225.4900.
We will block the PIN code within a reasonable time. You will be responsible for all transactions that have occurred in your wallet up to the date of blocking your PIN code.
If you dispute that any purchase or withdrawal charged to your wallet was authorized by you, you shall prove that it was not authorized by you. Our records will be considered accurate unless proven otherwise.
Ceyron account closure
The closure of your Ceyron account is subject to an express request from you addressed to Ceyron or its Agents by any means.
We may close your Ceyron account, restrict activity on your account, or suspend access to your account if we suspect that your wallet is being used fraudulently for illegal activities, or if we are called upon to comply with the law, or if you are in violation of this Agreement, or to protect our interests.
If your account remains inactive for a period of nine (9) successive months, we will inform you that if no activity occurs during the following month, we may have to close your account. If no subsequent activity occurs during that month, the account may be closed at Ceyron sole discretion.
Availability of the Ceyron mobile application
The Ceyron mobile application is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. Typically, your designated Payee is paid instantly through the Ceyron mobile application.

Delays or non-execution of Money Transfer Request.
