Foreign Currency The term “
Base Currency For the purposes of any calculation hereunder, we may convert amounts denominated in any other currency into the Base Currency at such rate prevailing at the time of the calculation as we shall reasonably select.
Currency All sums of money which are referred to in this Agreement are expressed in lawful money of Canada, unless otherwise specified.
IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES If you make a charge or receive a refund in a currency other than Canadian dollars that charge or refund will be converted into Canadian dollars by our currency conversion affiliate, AE Exposure Management Limited (AEEML). The conversion will take place on the date the charge or refund is processed by us, which may not be the same date on which you made your charge or received your refund as it depends on when the charge or refund was submitted to us. This means that the exchange rate used by AEEML may differ from the rate that is in effect on the date of your transaction or refund. Exchange rate fluctuations can be significant. This conversion rate is set by AEEML on each weekday except January 1 and December 25 (each, a rate selection day). If the charge or refund is not in U.S. dollars, the conversion will be made through U.S. dollars, by converting the charge or refund amount into U.S. dollars and then by converting the U.S. dollar amount into Canadian dollars. If the charge or refund is in U.S. dollars, it will be converted directly into Canadian dollars. Conversion commissions we apply to original charges will not be returned on refunds. Conversion rates applied to refunds may differ from conversion rates applied to original charges. As a result, the amount of the refund will generally differ from the amount of the original charge. However, we do not charge an additional currency conversion commission on a refund. Unless a specific exchange rate is either required by law, or is used as a matter of local custom or convention (in which case AEEML will look to be consistent with that custom or convention), AEEML’s conversion rates are based on interbank rates selected from customary industry sources on the rate selection day prior to the processing date, which we increase by a single conversion commission as specified in the information box and disclosure statement or as otherwise disclosed by us. If charges are converted by third parties prior to being submitted to us, any conversions made by those third parties will be at rates selected by them and may include a commission or charge, also selected by the third party. It is your decision whether to use the third party currency conversion or not. You should check the rates and charges before completing the transaction. When a transaction is converted by a third party and is submitted to us in Canadian dollars, we will not apply a currency conversion commission.
Foreign Currency Transactions If the Depositor provides instructions to the Financial Institution on an Account that is denominated in a currency other than the currency of the Account, a conversion of currency may be required. In all such Transactions and at any time a conversion of currency is made, the Financial Institution may act as principal with the Depositor in converting the currency at rates established or determined by the Financial Institution, affiliated parties, or parties with whom the Financial Institution contracts. The Financial Institution, its affiliates, and contractors may earn revenue and commissions, in addition to applicable service charges, based on the difference between the applicable bid and ask rates for the currency and the rate at which the rate is offset in the market.
