License and Site Access

We grant you a limited license to access and make personal use of this website/application. You are not allowed to download or modify it. This may be done only with the written consent from us.

User Account

If you are an owner of an account on this website/application, you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your private user details (username and password). You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account or password.

We reserve all rights to terminate accounts, edit or remove content, and cancel orders in our sole discretion.

 Closing Your Account

You may close your account and terminate your relationship with us without cost, but you will remain liable for all obligations related to your Memento account even after the Memento account is closed. Any incomplete transactions or transfers must be completed or canceled, and you must transfer any money from your Memento account before closing it.

In certain cases, you may not close your Memento account, including:

  • To evade an investigation.

  • If you have a pending transaction or an open dispute or claim.

  • If you owe amounts to us.

  • If your Memento account is subject to a hold, limitation or reserve.

Fees and limits

We may, at our discretion, impose limits on the amount and/or the number of payments you can send and receive. In order to manage risk, we may limit the payment methods available when you make a payment.

The fees applicable to sending money are based on the total amount of the transaction. Fees and limits may change from time to time in our sole discretion.

Bank account transfers

When you use your bank account as a payment method, you are allowing us to initiate a transfer from your bank account. For these transactions, we will make electronic transfers from your bank account in the amount you authorize. You authorize us to try this transfer again, via our third-party processor, if the initial transfer is rejected by your bank for any reason.

YOU SHOULD CONFIRM THAT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT CONTAINS FUNDS SUFFICIENT TO COVER THE PAYMENT BEFORE MAKING THE PAYMENT, IF FUNDED BY YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. THIS WILL HELP YOU AVOID OVERDRAFT OR OTHER FEES YOUR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION MAY CHARGE. MEMENTO AND ASSOCIATED PAYMENT PROVIDERS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR CHARGEBACKS OR ADDITIONAL FEES.

Refunds, Reversals and Chargebacks

Payments may be invalidated and reversed by us if, among other reasons, we sent the payment to you in error, the funding transaction is declined or reversed, the payment is suspected as fraud, the payment was unauthorized or unfunded, or if the payment was for activities that violated this user agreement or any other agreement with us.

As the sender or recipient of a payment that is later invalidated for any reason, you may be liable to us for the full amount of the payment, and we may recover the amount of the payment (plus any fees) from you. We may recover the amount of the payment from either the sender or the recipient of an invalidated payment in our discretion (subject to applicable law). For example, if you send a payment funded by a bank account and the bank informs us it cannot cover the payment due to a lack of funds or a dispute, we may hold you liable for the payment, or if you were the recipient of that payment, we may reverse that payment from your account to cover the liability.

When recovering the amount of an invalidated payment from you, we may apply any money sent to you on Memento, request that you add money to your account for the amount of the payment and apply that money to amounts owed, and/or we may:

  • engage in collection efforts to recover such amounts from you;

  • place a limitation or take other action on your Memento account

If we invalidate a payment because the originating bank declined or reversed the transaction, then you may be liable for the payment even if you disagree with the decision of the originating bank to decline or reverse the payment. If you believe that a payment initiated with your Memento account was not authorized, then you must notify us immediately, even if you (or someone else) disputes the transaction with the card issuer or originating bank. If you fail to report the unauthorized activity directly to us, then we may recover the amount of the reversed payment from you.

  • Harass and/or threaten our employees, agents, or other users.

Actions We May Take if You Engage in Any Restricted Activities

If we believe that you’ve engaged in any of these activities, we may take a number of actions to protect ourselves, our customers, and others at any time in our sole discretion. The actions we may take include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Terminate this user agreement, limit your Memento account, and/or close or suspend your Memento account, immediately and without penalty to us;

  • Refuse to provide the Memento services to you in the future;

  • Limit your access to our websites, software, systems, restricting your ability to send money or make bank transfers;

  • Hold money in your Memento account for up to 180 days if reasonably needed to protect against the risk of liability or if you have violated our terms and conditions;

  • Update inaccurate information you provided us;

  • Take legal action against you; or

  • If you’ve violated our policy, then you’re also responsible for damages to us caused by your violation of this policy.

If we close your Memento account or terminate your use of the Memento services for any reason, we’ll provide you with notice of our actions and make any unrestricted money held in your Memento account or that has been sent to you available for bank transfers.

You are responsible for all reversals, chargebacks, claims, fees, fines, penalties, and other liability incurred by us, any customer, or a third party caused by or arising out of your breach of this agreement and/or your use of the Memento services. For example, if you send a payment funded by your bank account and your bank informs us you do not have sufficient funds to cover the payment, you may be liable for the payment. Similarly, if you receive a payment and the payment is disputed, you may be liable for the payment.

Holds and Limitations

Under certain circumstances, in order to protect Memento and the security and integrity of the network that uses the Memento services, Memento may, in its sole discretion, take account-level or transaction-level actions.

Our decision about holds and limitations may be based on confidential criteria that are essential to our management of risk and the protection of Memento, our customers, and/or service providers. We may use proprietary fraud and risk modeling when assessing the risk associated with your Memento account. In addition, we may be restricted by regulation or a governmental authority from disclosing certain information to you about such decisions. We have no obligation to disclose the details of our risk management or security procedures to you.

Holds

A hold is an action that Memento may take under certain circumstances either at the transaction level or the account level. When Memento places a temporary hold on a transaction, the money is not available to either the sender or the recipient. Memento reviews many factors before placing a hold on a transaction, including: account tenure, transaction activity, and past disputes.

Holds based on Memento’s risk decisions

We may place a hold on transactions involving your Memento account if, in our sole discretion, we believe that there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your Memento account, or your transactions, or that placing such a hold is necessary to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements. We make decisions about whether to place a hold based on a number of factors, including information available to us from both internal sources and third parties.

Risk-based holds may remain in place for up to 180 days from the date the transaction was made. We may release the hold earlier under certain circumstances, but any earlier release is at our sole discretion.

Account Limitations

Limitations are implemented to help protect Memento and Memento users when we notice restricted activities or activity that appears to us as unusual or suspicious. Limitations also help us collect information necessary for keeping your Memento account open.

There are several reasons why your Memento account could be limited, including:

  • If we suspect someone could be using your Memento account without your knowledge, we’ll limit it for your protection and look into the unusual activity.

  • If another financial institution alerts us that someone has used one of your linked payment methods without permission.

  • In order to comply with the law.

  • If we reasonably believe you have breached this agreement or violated the 

You will need to resolve any issues with your account before a limitation can be removed. Normally, this is done after you provide us with the information we request. However, if we reasonably believe a risk still exists after you have provided us that information, we may take action to protect us, our users, a third party, or you from reversals, fees, fines, penalties, legal and/or regulatory risks and any other liability.
