Online profile registration terms and conditions

Terms and Conditions – Online Profile Registration

YOUR PROFILE REGISTRATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“TERMS”). THE CONTRACTING ENTITY FOR THESE TERMS IS WESTERN UNION Payments (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.

 PROFILE REGISTRATION
Registering a profile (“Profile”) will allow you to store information, including your personal information and that of parties you may send money to or request money from, which can then be accessed to facilitate services that the Western Union (“WU”) group companies and affiliates may make available to you from time to time including the WU Money Transfer service (“MT Service”) (together, the “Services“). For the avoidance of doubt, the MT Service is carried out in Malaysia by Western Union Payments (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.

LOGIN AND PASSWORD. PROFILE TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION
The email address you register with WU will be your Profile login user identification. You are not permitted to create more than one Profile. You should protect your login and your chosen password, and not disclose it to anyone else. If your username or password has been compromised, you must inform WU immediately at the contact points provided below. You may terminate your Profile without charge at any time by contacting WU at the contact points provided below. WU may at any time suspend or terminate your Profile or access to individual Services at any time, whether for events beyond WU’s reasonable control, technical connectivity issues, breach of these Terms or the applicable terms and conditions for the MT Service. It is your responsibility to keep your Profile details up-to-date, as incorrect or outdated information may prevent or delay your Services use.
