Use of the Service
The Travel Money (defined below) service
is provided by MyTravel Financial Services Limited, part of
MyTravel Group plc, registered office: Parkway One, Parkway
Business Centre, 300 Princess Road, Manchester, M14 7QU (referred
to as “us” and “our”), and is available
to individuals aged 18 years or over resident in, and accessing
the service from, the United Kingdom for deliveries of foreign
currency banknotes and travellers cheques (“Travel Money”)
to their home address in mainland United Kingdom only (“the
Service”).
Agreement
By accessing, using or browsing our Travel
Money web site ("the Site"), or ordering Travel
Money from us by any means, you confirm that you are over
18 years old and have read and understood these Terms of Use
(and those of the issuer of travellers cheques if you order
the same), and agree to be bound by them and to comply with
all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including the
Privacy Policy (see below).
Orders
We reserve the right to implement a maximum
order value at any time, and amend from time to time the maximum
order value at our discretion without notice, and without
liability to you. Each order will be subject to rounding up.
You must provide the requested information
for us to process your order. We reserve the right to request
further information from you at any time. We will use various
procedures to authenticate each transaction and may, at any
time, decline to process your order for any reason. We may,
in our sole discretion, elect to process part orders.
The exchange rates we quote are subject to
change. We will use the exchange rate (as set by us) that
applies at the time we receive your order. We will acknowledge
receipt of your order. Such acknowledgement shall not constitute
our acceptance of your order.
To place your order, use the Site’s
order facility, or call the number quoted on the Site or on
our promotional material. Calls are charged at the appropriate
rate (ie. local rate for 0845 numbers, and national rate for
0870 numbers). Orders will not be accepted on any other number.
Calls may be monitored and/or recorded for security purposes,
and to ensure a consistent level of service.
The hours of business for our call centres
(excluding Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day) are
8am-10pm Monday to Friday, and 10am – 8pm Saturday,
Sunday and other Bank Holidays.
Please order your Travel Money at least 3
working days before you need it. We will not be liable for
any losses or expenses arising from late or non-delivery.
Delivery
We will endeavour to despatch the Travel
Money (subject to availability) for orders we receive before
2.00pm on a working day, on the same day, and at other times
the next working day.
The Travel Money will be delivered to your
home address (as specified in your order and which must correspond
with the home address registered for your credit, debit, charge
or store card used in payment for your order). Saturday deliveries
are not guaranteed. There are no deliveries on Sundays or
public holidays. We reserve the right to use any delivery
service at our option without notice, and without liability
to you.
You will need to sign a delivery receipt
for the Travel Money. If you are not at home to receive the
Travel Money, you will need to collect it from your local
mail sorting office as notified by the delivery person. You
will need to show proof of identity.
Fees
A non-refundable delivery charge applies
to each order. We will notify you of the cost of delivery
when you make your order.
Your credit/debit card issuer may charge
you interest and/or fees on cash advances according to its
separate agreement with you. We have no control over, and
are not liable for, such charges.
Payment
You can pay for orders with most major credit
or debit cards, and a range of charge or store cards issued
in the United Kingdom (a full list of which is provided on
the Payment page of the Site) registered in your name and
which have sufficient funds available to cover your order
(and any fees in total).
Buy Back Offer
The Buy Back Offer (defined below) is distinct
from the Service and is provided by selected UK retail outlets,
which we may notify you of via the Site from time to time
("Selected Outlets").
You may change back your unused foreign currency
banknotes and/or travellers cheques to pounds sterling at
any Selected Outlet commission free (“the Buy Back Offer”).
The Selected Outlets may use various procedures
to authenticate each transaction and may, at the time, decline
to buy back your Travel Money for any reason.
You acknowledge that laws or regulations
may prohibit the purchase of certain currencies from you.
The Buy Back Offer will, therefore, not apply to those currencies.
The exchange will be made at the exchange
rate displayed in, or notified by,the Selected Outlet on that
day, which they shall determine in their sole discretion.
The Buy Back Offer may be withdrawn, and/or
Selected Outlets changed, at any time without notice, and
without liability to you.
Changes and Termination
We may, with immediate effect, change or
withdraw these Terms of Use, part of or the entire Site, the
Service and/or the Buy Back Offer and any related Services
for any reason at any time without notice, and without liability
to you. We reserve the right to amend the exchange rates and
delivery charges at any time at our discretion.
If we revise these Terms of Use, we will
post the revised version on the Site, which shall be effective
immediately. Please read the current Terms of Use from time
to time even if you have previously used the Service. By using
the Site, Service or the Buy Back Offer after we have changed
these Terms of Use, you will be deemed to have accepted the
changes.

arising.

Please bear in mind that you will be opting out of receiving

How do we protect your information?
When you provide us with your credit card details, or order
services from us, we use a secure server. The secure server

is transmitted to us. We have strict security procedures covering
the storage and disclosure of your information in order to
prevent unauthorised access, and to comply with the Data Protection
Acts 1984 and 1998. This means that sometimes we may ask for
proof of identity before we disclose personal information
to you.
Whilst we have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that the
information you provide will be kept secure from unauthorised
access, the internet is not a secure environment and we cannot
guarantee that the information will be secure during transmission
to our web server.
Details of Server Certificates for the Site are available
on request.
Note
This Privacy Policy only applies to the Site and not to the
websites of other companies, individuals or organisations
