- Error Resolution and Cancellation Policy
For error resolution, transaction cancellation, questions, complaints or a written explanation of your rights, contact us at [email protected].
Because Goolpay.com credits Remittances to Beneficiaries immediately, your Remittance is typically not cancellable or refundable. If you believe that you sent a Remittance in error, you must contact us within thirty (30) minutes after you initiated it at [email protected], and we will attempt to recall it. If your Remittance has not yet been credited to your Beneficiary’s account, we will refund it to you (including all fees, if any) within three (3) business days. However, if the Remittance has already been credited to your Beneficiary’s account, we will be unable to cancel it.
If you notify us that the account number, telephone number, Beneficiary name or other information that you provided to us when you initiated your Remittance was incorrect, we will promptly use reasonable efforts to recover the amount of your Remittance, but we may be unable to do so if your Remittance has already been paid or credited in accordance with the information you provided.
You have a right to dispute errors in your transaction. There is no charge for this service. If you think there is an error, contact us at [email protected] within 180 days after you sent your Remittance, and provide your name, contact information, the Beneficiary’s name, the date of your transfer, as well as the reason you believe there has been an error. Gool Pay inc. will investigate and determine whether an error occurred, and we will complete the investigation within 9 weeks (63 days). We will inform you of the results of the investigation within three (3) business days after the investigation is completed. You may request copies of any documents we used in our investigation. If Goolpay.com was at fault, we will refund the total amount you paid, including fees, if any, within one business day, or as soon as reasonably practicable.
Goolpay.com will pay all refunds (whether resulting from a cancelled or disputed Remittance) either by a credit to your Payment Account or by check payment, at Gool Pay’s option. Alternatively, you can choose to have Goolpay.com process the Remittance again for no additional charge. However, if Goolpay.com has not charged your Payment Account, but an authorization hold for the amount to be charged by Goolpay.com has been placed on the funds at your bank, Goolpay.com will cancel the transaction and request that the authorization hold at your bank is released. This process can take several days; that timing depends on the relationship between your bank and our payment provider, over which we have no control. Except for our obligation to investigate and refund described above, Goolpay.com is not liable to you for any loss resulting from Gool Pay’s inability to cancel or refund a Remittance.
