7.2 Recordings and communications may be relied upon as evidence of instructions and agreements.
8. BOOKING TRANSACTIONS AND CONFIRMATIONS
8.1 transaction becomes legally binding once the rate, currency pair, amount and settlement date/value date are agreed and confirmed (verbally, electronically or in writing).
8.1A When you book a trade, Indigo FX will confirm (as applicable): the agreed Rate; the Value Date; the deadline by which cleared funds must be received; and the payment details for the beneficiary (including account number/IBAN, SWIFT/BIC and any required reference).
8.1B Delivery of Trade Confirmations: Trade Confirmations may be provided by email (or other agreed electronic method). A Trade Confirmation is deemed received when sent to the Customer’s last notified email address (unless Indigo FX receives a delivery failure).
8.2 Error notification windows: the Customer should notify Indigo FX of any errors in a Trade Confirmation as soon as reasonably practicable. For forward transactions, any discrepancy should be notified within two (2) Working Days where feasible.
8.2A Trade confirmations (including electronic confirmations) constitute conclusive evidence of the agreed transaction unless the Customer notifies Indigo FX of an error promptly and in any event within a reasonable period.
8.3 The Customer must ensure settlement funds are delivered in cleared funds by the required deadline. Late settlement may result in additional costs, re-pricing, close-out or cancellation.
8.4 Pre-trade information: where applicable, Indigo FX will provide pre-trade information prior to entering into a transaction, including key pricing, settlement and payment details. The Customer acknowledges that pre-trade information may be provided verbally, electronically or via platform and may be updated due to market movement or operational requirements.
8.4A Website information. Information about pricing and service features published on our website is general information only and may change from time to time. Transaction-specific pricing and fees will always be disclosed to you before you confirm, and confirmed in your Trade Confirmation.
8.5 Trade confirmation checks: the Customer must check any Trade Confirmation promptly. The Customer must notify Indigo FX as soon as reasonably practicable and, where feasible, within one (1) hour of becoming aware of any error in a Trade Confirmation or any material discrepancy between pre-trade information and the Trade Confirmation. Failure to notify does not automatically render a transaction void and Indigo FX may treat the Trade Confirmation as accepted.
8.6 Missing confirmations: the Customer must notify Indigo FX as soon as possible if a Trade Confirmation has not been received within one (1) hour of an Order being placed and accepted.
9. PAYMENTS, EXECUTION AND CHARGES
9.1 Payments are executed via Partner PSPs and intermediary banks. Execution timelines may vary based on currency, destination, cut‑off times, compliance checks and third-party processing.
9.2 The Customer must normally fund transactions from an account in the Customer’s name unless Indigo FX agrees otherwise for regulated payment purposes.
9.3 Funding source: Indigo FX may require that funds originate from an account in the Customer’s name. Where third-party payments are permitted, Indigo FX may request additional information (including payer details and supporting evidence) and may reject or return funds that do not meet regulatory requirements.
9.4 Cut-off: payment instructions and/or funds received after applicable cut-off times may be treated as received on the next Business Day. Currency cut-off times may apply and can impact execution timelines.
9.5 Receiving and intermediary banks may deduct charges.
10. PRICING, FEES AND DISCLOSURES
10.1 How pricing is set. Indigo FX quotes a firm exchange rate which reflects live market conditions and includes our margin. We do not charge a separate “commission” unless expressly agreed and disclosed to you before you confirm a transaction.
10.2 Payment fees. Depending on the payment route, currency, destination, and speed selected, a fixed payment fee and/or other charges may apply. Where no payment fee applies, we will state this to you.
10.2A What we show you before you confirm. Before you commit to a transaction, we will provide (by email, telephone, platform or other agreed channel) the key information needed to make an informed decision, which will include: (i) the amount you are sending; (ii) the exchange rate to be applied; (iii) any Indigo FX fees/charges; and (iv) the amount the recipient is expected to receive (to the extent we are able to determine this).
10.3 Confirmation. The Trade Confirmation will repeat the key pricing and payment details and will form part of the Contract. If there is any conflict between general pricing information (including on our website) and the Trade Confirmation for a specific transaction, the Trade Confirmation will prevail for that transaction.
10.4 Third-party fees. Intermediary, receiving or correspondent banks may deduct their own charges. Where possible, we will flag when such fees may apply, but these charges are outside our control and may affect the amount received.
10.5 Indigo FX is not liable for delays or failures caused by third parties (including intermediary banks), sanctions screening, regulatory action, network outages or incomplete/incorrect instructions.
11. PAYMENT
11.1 Execution condition: Indigo FX will only execute a Payment once the Due Amount has been received in full in cleared funds and Indigo FX has received complete payment instructions.
11.2 Incomplete instructions: if payment instructions are incomplete or unclear, Indigo FX may delay execution until sufficient information is provided.
11.3 Estimated duration: depending on route, currency and destination, payments may take up to five (5) Business Days (or longer in some cases) to clear and reach the beneficiary. Indigo FX cannot guarantee beneficiary bank processing times.
11.4 Bank charges: intermediary and receiving banks may deduct charges from the transferred amount. Where such charges apply, the beneficiary may receive less than the amount instructed.
11.5 Our obligations: Indigo FX will use reasonable care and skill in providing the Services and will execute payments in accordance with the Customer’s instructions once the requirements in clause 11.1 are met.
11.6 Where applicable, Indigo FX will safeguard relevant customer funds in accordance with the Regulations and will hold safeguarded funds separately from Indigo FX’s own funds.
11.7 Customer obligations: the Customer must provide accurate information and instructions (including beneficiary details), keep details up to date, and notify Indigo FX promptly of any errors, changes or concerns relating to transactions.
11.8 The Customer must notify Indigo FX immediately if circumstances arise that may affect the Customer’s ability to meet payment deadlines or margin requirements.
12. UNAUTHORISED PAYMENT
12.1 Notice of incorrect or unauthorised Payments: the Customer must inform Indigo FX without undue delay if it becomes aware of an incorrect or unauthorised Payment and in any event: (a) where the Customer is a Consumer, no later than thirteen (13) months after the Payment Date; and (b) in all other cases, within seven (7) days of the Payment Date.
12.2 Waiver: failure to comply with the time limits in clause 15.1 constitutes a waiver of the Customer’s right to make a claim against Indigo FX in respect of the relevant Payment, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
12.3 Remedies: where Indigo FX is liable under the Regulations for an incorrect Payment, Indigo FX will use reasonable endeavours to correct the error and/or refund amounts debited incorrectly (including applicable transaction fees) provided the requisite notice has been received in accordance with clause 15.1. For an unauthorised Payment, Indigo FX will refund the amount debited without authorisation as soon as possible, unless Indigo FX has reasonable grounds to suspect fraud and notifies the relevant authorities.
12.4 Prohibited purposes: the Customer must not place an Order or request a Payment for any unlawful purpose, or relating to prohibited activities notified by Indigo FX from time to time (which may include online gambling, pornography, firearms or other restricted sectors).
13. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK AND EXECUTION-ONLY
13.1 Foreign exchange rates fluctuate. The Customer acknowledges that exchange rate movements may result in losses.
13.2 Indigo FX provides execution-only services and does not provide investment advice. Any decision to trade is made by the Customer.
13.3 Forwards and Limit Orders may not execute as expected due to market volatility, liquidity conditions or market disruption.
14. FORWARD CONTRACTS, LIMIT ORDERS AND MARGIN
14.1 Forward Contracts: unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Customer must pay a margin deposit equal to 10% of the Forward Contract value before the Forward Contract is booked. A lower margin may be agreed expressly in writing.
14.2 Margin is a deposit against market exposure and is not safeguarded. The Customer may be required to pay additional margin (variation margin) if market movements increase exposure.
14.3 If the Customer fails to meet a margin call within the timeframe specified by Indigo FX, Indigo FX may close out the Forward Contract (in whole or in part) and the Customer will be liable for any losses and costs.
14.4 Forward Contracts must relate to identifiable commercial, charitable or personal currency exposure and must not be entered into for speculative purposes.
14.5 Limit Orders: Indigo FX will use reasonable endeavours to execute a Limit Order if the relevant market rate is reached; however, execution is not guaranteed. Limit Orders may be cancelled or expire as agreed.

15.1 Indigo FX may void, amend or reverse any transaction affected by a manifest error, including obvious pricing errors, incorrect price feeds, platform faults, system failures or clerical mistakes.
15.2 Indigo FX will notify the Customer as soon as reasonably practicable and may re-book the transaction at the correct market rate where appropriate.
16. SAFEGUARDING OF FUNDS
16.1 Where Indigo FX receives funds from a Customer for the purpose of executing a payment transaction (or otherwise as regulated under the Payment Services Regulations), Indigo FX safeguards relevant customer funds in accordance with applicable safeguarding requirements.
16.2 Safeguarded funds are held separately from Indigo FX’s own funds in designated safeguarding accounts with regulated institutions and are intended to be protected in the event of Indigo FX insolvency.
16.3 Safeguarding is not the same as a bank deposit and safeguarded funds are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
16.4 Funds that are not safeguarded: margin deposits and any funds held for other purposes that fall outside safeguarding requirements (including as permitted by law) are not safeguarded.
16.5 Interest: unless required by law or expressly agreed in writing, Indigo FX does not pay interest on safeguarded or non-safeguarded funds.
16.6 Indigo FX may use Partner PSPs to hold or process safeguarded funds, provided safeguarding arrangements remain compliant with applicable requirements.
16.7 Insolvency note: in the unlikely event that Indigo FX enters insolvency, safeguarded funds are intended to be protected from claims by Indigo FX creditors and efforts will be made to reimburse relevant funds to Customers. However, refunds may take longer and an administrator or liquidator may deduct certain costs from funds during the insolvency process, meaning the Customer may not receive the full amount back.
16.8 Non-safeguarded deductions and set-off: to the extent Indigo FX is entitled to deduct amounts owed by the Customer under a transaction (including margin, variation margin, fees, charges and losses) or to exercise any contractual set-off rights, such amounts may be treated as not safeguarded to that extent.
17. AUTHORISED PUSH PAYMENT (APP) FRAUD
17.1 Service structure: Indigo FX provides money remittance services and does not generally operate payment accounts in its own name. Payment accounts/local account details used in connection with Indigo FX services are provided by Partner PSPs.
17.2 Operational management: where Indigo FX customers initiate payments from Partner PSP-provided accounts (including sub-accounts), Indigo FX will manage customer engagement, coordinate investigations, and support recovery attempts in line with internal fraud controls.
17.3 Regulatory allocation: operational management by Indigo FX does not change the underlying regulatory position, account ownership, or (where applicable) the allocation of reimbursement obligations under payment scheme rules, which may sit with the Partner PSP acting as a relevant PSP.
17.4 Contractual arrangements: Partner PSPs may require Indigo FX to enter contractual indemnity or similar arrangements in respect of amounts paid under scheme rules. Such arrangements are between firms and do not affect customer statutory rights.
17.5 Customer obligations: the Customer must take reasonable steps to verify payment instructions and must notify Indigo FX immediately if APP Fraud is suspected or confirmed.
18. PLATFORM SECURITY
18.1 The Customer must keep credentials secure, restrict access to authorised users and implement appropriate internal controls.

18.5 Security: the Customer must keep usernames, passwords and access devices secure and must notify Indigo FX immediately if it suspects credentials have been compromised or misused.
18.6 Suspension: Indigo FX may suspend, restrict or revoke IndigoPay access where required for security, regulatory, operational or risk reasons.

21.2 The Customer remains liable for all outstanding obligations, including any losses and costs arising from close-out of open transactions.

22.2 Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability to the extent such limitation or exclusion is prohibited by law.
22.3 APP fraud reimbursement: Indigo FX is authorised for money remittance and does not generally provide payment accounts or “relevant accounts” in its own name. Where customers access local account details or sub-accounts through Partner PSPs, the underlying account provision and scheme participation sit with the Partner PSP. Accordingly, Indigo FX is not typically the scheme participant responsible for APP reimbursement obligations, although Indigo FX will support investigations and liaise with relevant PSPs in accordance with clause 17.
