It is your obligation to promptly notify us of any unauthorized account activity. Likewise, you are responsible for verifying and ensuring the security, protection, and proper distribution of your account information, including usernames, and passwords.
You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Services and for any activities or actions under your password. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords for your account by using a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above.

7. TRANSFERS AND BALANCE FUNDING
You can add funds to your Balance using an authorized payment account. By initiating a transfer, you authorize CadRemit to access and process your payment information. The Services enable you to send transfers to designated recipients. CadRemit will undertake the processing and transmission of the transfer based on your provided instructions. We may establish limitations on the value or frequency of transfers. It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the recipient's information. Once you have confirmed a transfer, it is considered final and cannot be reversed by you. CadRemit equips you with tools to review and verify your transfer before confirming it, thereby assisting in identifying any potential mistyped transfers. However, any losses arising from mistyped or incorrect recipient information shall be your sole responsibility. CadRemit shall not be held liable for any losses resulting from inaccurately entered or mistyped recipient information for transfers. We reserve the right to, at our absolute discretion, attempt to reverse your instruction if you have communicated your desire for us to do so. Should a reversal be possible, a fee of 3 CAD will apply for CAD transactions and 10 USD for USD transactions. These fees are subject to change at any time. By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge and understand the funding requirements and agree to comply with these terms and use the services responsibly for transfer purposes.
7.1 Nature of Your CadRemit account: CadRemit is not a bank, and your CadRemit account is not a bank account. The bank account details provided to you for receiving funds from third parties are associated with accounts held by CadRemit and its affiliates. Upon receipt of funds into these accounts, CadRemit will credit the corresponding amount to your CadRemit account balance. However, the bank account holding these funds is not owned by you. The balance in your CadRemit account represents an unsecured claim against CadRemit and is not insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) or any similar deposit protection scheme.
CadRemit manages customer balances in compliance with applicable money transmitter laws. The funds in customer balances are not used for operational expenses or other corporate purposes and will not be made available to creditors in the event of CadRemit’s bankruptcy.
The value held in your CadRemit account remains an unsecured claim against CadRemit and is not protected by any deposit insurance scheme, including the CDIC.
