This User Agreement, which is effective as of 2020 November 12, is a contract between you and one of the PayPal entities as follows:
If your country of residence is: | Your User Agreement is with the following PayPal entity: |
---|---|
Canada | PayPal Canada Co. |
The United Kingdom and a member of the European Economic Area where the Xoom service is available | PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. (R.C.S. Luxembourg B 118 349) |
United States | PayPal, Inc. |
If you are a United States resident, this User Agreement includes an agreement to resolve disputes by arbitration on an individual basis, which is detailed in Part E, Section 11.
This User Agreement governs the terms under which you may use PayPal's Xoom Service ("Xoom" or the "Service"), and access and use Xoom websites (for purposes of this User Agreement, "websites" includes our desktop website, our mobile websites, and our mobile applications) and the services associated with it. By signing up to this User Agreement, Xoom will set up an account through which you can use the Service and view your Transaction history and contact details (the "Xoom Account"). No funds will be held in the Xoom Account as a result of your use of the Service. You acknowledge and agree that this User Agreement is between you and the PayPal entity in your country of residence (“PayPal”). By accessing and using the Service, you are agreeing to the User Agreement.
As used throughout this User Agreement, the terms "we", "us", and "our" refer to PayPal, together with its employees, consultants, directors, successors, subsidiaries, affiliates, and assignees. The terms "you" and "your" refer to someone who uses the Service to send money, bill payment or mobile reloads ("Sender").
The Service is a secure and convenient way to send money or mobile reloads to, or pay bills for, family members and other people that you trust. However, scams and fraudsters are abundant and you should be cautious of deals or offers that seem too good to be true. We urge you not to send money or mobile reloads to, or make bill payments for, anyone that you do not know personally. Take care to safeguard your password, do not send or request for others, and use Xoom for legal purposes only. Click here to learn more about sending money safely. Please let us know immediately if you believe someone is trying to scam or defraud you or if your username or password has been lost or stolen. Click here for how to contact Customer Service.
Your security and the integrity of your Xoom Account are our top priorities and we work hard to secure your information. If you are aware of anyone or any entity that is using the Service inappropriately, please e-mail us at reportfraud@xoom.com.
Please be aware that Xoom will never ask for your Xoom Account password. If you receive any fake (i.e., phishing) e-mails claiming to be from Xoom, please forward them to us at reportfraud@xoom.com.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that Transactions are processed in a timely manner, but we make no representations or warranties regarding the time needed to complete processing because the Service is largely dependent on many factors outside our control. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify and hold PayPal, its suppliers, vendors, Service Providers, Service Companies and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, partners, employees, and consultants harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your use of the Service, your connection to the Service, your violation of the User Agreement or any law, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
To request a refund, please click here for Customer Service. We will refund your money within four (4) Business Days of your request to cancel a transfer as long as the funds have not already been picked up or deposited into a Recipient’s account. You can cancel your Transaction for a full refund within 30 minutes of authorizing your Transaction, unless the funds or mobile reload have already been paid out to the Recipient or Service Company. After 30 minutes, we generally do not provide refunds, but may do so in limited circumstances.
We will make every effort not to debit your Payment Instrument after we have received your request for cancellation. However, in some cases, we may have initiated an irreversible request for funds from your financial institution prior to receiving your request for cancellation. In such cases, your Payment Instrument may be debited even if you have cancelled your Transaction but we will refund your money usually within four (4) Business Days after we have received the funds from your financial institution.
Refunds will be credited to the same Payment Instrument used to pay for the Transaction. Refunds are only made in same currency used to pay for the Transaction (“Send Currency”). Refund amounts will not be adjusted to account for changes in the value of the Send Currency from the time your Transaction was submitted.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, specific refund provisions may apply depending on your country or state of residence. Please go to the relevant section for your country specific provisions, which can be found between Part C – E.
If your country of residence is Canada at the time you send a Transaction, the following provisions shall apply to you:

Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of a PayPal breach or if it was contemplated by you and PayPal at the time you entered into this User Agreement.

This User Agreement and the relationship between us is governed by the laws of England and Wales. This does not affect your mandatory rights under the laws of the country in which you reside, such as your rights as a consumer. Any controversy, dispute, or claim arising out of or relating to the Service or User Agreement (a "Claim") shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
For complaints that cannot be resolved otherwise, you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales arising out of or relating to these User Agreement or the provision of our Services, without prejudice to your right to also initiate a proceeding against PayPal in that context before the competent courts of and in Luxembourg or your country of residence.
In simple terms, “nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales” means that if you were able to bring a claim arising from these User Agreement against us in Court, an acceptable court would be a court located in England or Wales, but you may also elect to bring a claim in the court of another country instead, such as the country in which you reside.
If your country of residence is in the United States at the time you send a Transaction, the following provisions shall apply to you:
You may execute up to a maximum dollar amount per Transaction using your Xoom Account, depending on the type of Transaction. The per-Transaction maximums are available in the article How Much Money Can I Send. In addition, you may execute up to a certain maximum dollar amount in total for Transactions over a specified period of time using your Xoom Account. The maximum total amounts for specified periods are available in the article How Much Money Can I Send. Xoom’s Service Providers also may limit the maximum dollar amount of a Transaction, or reject a proposed Transaction, in their sole discretion.
Limitations may apply on the maximum number of Transactions you may make over a specified period of time using your Xoom account. In addition, Xoom’s Service Providers may limit the maximum number of Transactions you can make over a period of time, in their sole discretion.
You will get a monthly statement of your Xoom account activity.
(Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Xoom Account credentials (username or password) have been lost or stolen, or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission using information from your Xoom Account. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. If your Payment Instrument is associated with an asset account (e.g., a bank deposit) (a “Debit Instrument”), you could lose all the money associated with your Debit Instrument (plus the maximum amount of any overdraft line of credit associated with your Debit Instrument). If you tell us within 2 Business Days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Xoom Account credentials, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Xoom Account credentials without your permission to access a Debit Instrument.)
If you do NOT tell us within 2 Business Days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Xoom Account credentials, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Xoom Account credentials without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500 if your Xoom Account credentials are used to access a Debit Instrument.
Also, if your Xoom statement shows transfers using a Debit Instrument that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 180 days from the date we promised to you that funds would be made available to the Recipient, as provided in the Transaction receipt, you may not get back any money you lost after the 180 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
If you believe your Xoom Account credentials have been lost or stolen, please contact us using any method provided on our support page.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your Payment Instrument is not a Debit Instrument (e.g., if you use a credit card for funding), you will be responsible for the losses as set forth in the User Agreement.
The error resolution procedures, rights and obligations described in this Section 5 apply to Transactions made with a Debit Instrument (“Debit Transactions”). Treatment of Debit Transaction error claims varies depending on whether you send funds within the United States or internationally, and whether you are claiming unauthorized use of your Xoom Account. If your Transaction was made with a credit card Payment Instrument (“Credit Card Transactions”), error resolution procedures, rights and obligations are set forth in Section 6.
In case of errors or questions about your Debit Transactions, please contact us using any method provided on our support page as soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a Debit Transaction listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 180 days from the date we promised to you that funds would be made available to the Recipient, as provided in the Debit Transaction receipt.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 Business Days.

We will determine whether an error occurred within 90 days after you contact us and we will correct any error promptly. We will tell you the results within three Business Days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of any documents we used in our investigation or for more details about your investigation.
The error resolution procedures, rights and obligations described in this Section 6 apply to Credit Card Transactions. Treatment of Credit Card Transaction error claims varies depending on whether you send funds within the United States or internationally, and whether you are claiming unauthorized use of your Xoom Account. If your Transaction was made with a Debit Instrument, error resolution procedures, rights and obligations are set forth in Section 5.
In case of errors or questions about your Credit Card Transaction where the Recipient Country is not the United States, other than an unauthorized Credit Card Transaction error (“Non-U.S. Credit Card Transaction”), please contact us using any method provided on our support page as soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a Non-U.S. Credit Card Transaction listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 180 days from the date we promised to you that funds would be made available to the Recipient, as provided in the Non-U.S. Credit Card Transaction receipt.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 Business Days.

We will tell you the results within three Business Days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation.

You may also contact the issuer of your credit card Payment Instrument regarding your dispute.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, residents of certain jurisdictions in the United States should read the following:
RIGHT TO REFUND: You, the customer, are entitled to a refund of the money to be transmitted as the result of this agreement if PayPal does not forward the funds received from you within 10 days of the date of its receipt, or does not give instructions committing an equivalent amount of funds to the person designated by you within 10 days of the date of the receipt of the funds from you unless otherwise instructed by you.
If your instructions as to when the funds shall be forwarded or transmitted are not complied with and the funds have not yet been forwarded or transmitted you have a right to a refund.
If you want a refund, you must mail or deliver your written request to Xoom Customer Service, at 425 Market Street, 12th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105-5404, USA. If you do not receive your refund, you may be entitled to your money back plus a penalty of up to $1,000 and attorney's fees pursuant to Section 2102 of the California Financial Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing:
California residents: the above does not apply to claims under Section 2102 of the California Financial Code arising from Transactions originating in California.
You and PayPal agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise, out of or relating to the Xoom services or your Xoom account, will be resolved in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement to Arbitrate provisions set forth below. Please read this information carefully. Among other things it:
If you have a dispute with PayPal, our goal is to learn about and address your concerns. If we are unable to do so to your satisfaction, we aim to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Any disputes you have regarding the Xoom services may be reported to customer service online through the Xoom Help Center at any time.
Xoom Agreement to Arbitrate | |
---|---|
Our Agreement | You and PayPal each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise out of or relating to the Xoom services or your Xoom account including without limitation federal and state statutory claims, common law claims, and those based in contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. This Agreement to Arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate. |
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief | You and PayPal agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and PayPal agree otherwise, the arbitrator(s) may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator(s) may award relief (including monetary, injunctive and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect other PayPal or Xoom customers. |
Arbitration Procedures | Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator or arbitrators instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, the arbitrator(s) can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. The arbitrator(s) also must follow the terms of this user agreement as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator(s) to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate, or the interpretation of the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief section above, shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (referred to as the "AAA") under its rules and procedures, including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send the other party, by certified mail, a completed Xoom Notice of Dispute. You should send this notice to: PayPal, Inc., Attn: Litigation Department, Re: Xoom Notice of Dispute, 2211 North First Street, San Jose, CA 95131. PayPal will send any notice to you to the address we have on file associated with your Xoom account; it is your responsibility to keep your address up to date. All information called for in the notice must be provided including a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting and the relief sought. If you and PayPal are unable to resolve the claims described in the Xoom notice within 30 days after the notice is sent, you or PayPal may initiate arbitration proceedings. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's website at www.adr.org. The parties agree that the arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, the arbitration shall be conducted either by telephone or based solely on written submissions (at your election), subject to the discretion of the arbitrator(s) to require an in-person hearing if the circumstances warrant. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you and/or PayPal may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator(s) require otherwise. Any settlement offer made by you or PayPal shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator(s) shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Xoom customers, but is/are bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Xoom customer to the extent required by applicable law. The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. |
Costs of Arbitration | Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, PayPal will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by PayPal should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your Demand for Arbitration and PayPal will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. If the value of the relief sought is more than $10,000 and you are able to demonstrate that the costs of accessing arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of accessing a court for purposes of pursuing litigation on an individual basis, PayPal will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator(s) deem necessary to prevent the cost of accessing the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the event the arbitrator(s) determine the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse PayPal for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by PayPal on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules. |
Severability | With the exception of any of the provisions in the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief section above, if a court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If a court decides that any of the provisions in the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief section above is invalid or unenforceable because it would prevent the exercise of a non-waivable right to pursue public injunctive relief, then any dispute regarding the entitlement to such relief (and only that relief) must be severed from arbitration and may be litigated in court. All other disputes subject to arbitration under the terms of the Agreement to Arbitrate shall be arbitrated under its terms. |
