For the avoidance of doubt, the MT Service is carried out in Malaysia by Western Union Payments (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.

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.
