(1) An authorized agent may not make a fraudulent or false statement or misrepresentation to a licensee or to the commissioner.
(2) A money transmission, sale, or issuance of payment instrument activity conducted by an authorized agent shall be strictly in accordance with the licensee's written procedures provided to the authorized agent.
(3) An authorized agent shall remit the money owing to the licensee in accordance with the terms of the contract between the licensee and the authorized agent. The failure of an authorized agent to remit money owing to a licensee within the contractual time period shall result in liability of the authorized agent to the licensee for three times the licensee's actual damages. The commissioner shall have the discretion to set, by rule made in accordance with Title 63G, Chapter 3, Utah Administrative Rulemaking Act, the maximum remittance time.
(4) The money, less fees, received by an authorized agent of a licensee from the sale or delivery of a payment instrument issued by a licensee or received by an authorized agent for transmission shall, from the time the money is received by the authorized agent until the time when the money or an equivalent amount is remitted by the authorized agent to the licensee, constitute trust funds owned by and belonging to the licensee. If an authorized agent commingles the money with any other money or property owned or controlled by the authorized agent, the commingled proceeds and other property shall be impressed with a trust in favor of the licensee in an amount equal to the amount of the proceeds due the licensee.
