If the money then "gets stuck" with an intermediary or in any other way does not reach the intended recipient, the Customer undertakes to make claims against such other party and not Lesslie.

Amendments and Additions

Errors and Delays Beyond Our Control Lesslie is not responsible for delays and errors beyond our control.
