TERMS AND CONDITIONS GOVERNING ELECTRONIC SERVICES

In this Agreement, "you" and "your" means the customer (whether individual or corporate), and (where the context so requires) includes any User. "We", "us" and "ours" means DBS Bank Ltd, including its successors and assigns.

PIN/Card
1. At your request, we may issue you a DBS PIN and/or DBS Card which may, at your risk, be sent to or collected by you or the User by any means. You agree to hold us harmless if any other person obtains possession of the DBS PIN and/or DBS card.

2. You will safeguard any PIN and/or Card issued to you and follow every procedural, security and other requirement and notice of ours and/or the relevant Participant regarding their use, or, as the case may be, you will ensure that the User complies with the provisions of this clause regarding any PIN and/or Card issued to him.

3. You should notify us immediately if (a) any DBS PIN is lost or disclosed to any person or (b) any DBS Card is lost or damaged or used by any other person or (c) any User ceases to be employed or authorised by you to use the DBS PIN and/or DBS Card or (d) if any other event occurs which would, under the terms of this Agreement, allow us to suspend or cancel the use of Electronic Services. After receipt of any such notice purporting to come from you, we may suspend or cancel your use of Electronic Services at any time.

4. Following the occurrence of any event referred to in Clause 3 above, we may at our discretion issue a replacement DBS PIN and/or DBS Card on the prevailing terms and conditions for Electronic Services and charge a replacement fee.

Payments Charges Fees Costs and Taxes
5. You will pay such charges and fees for the provision of Electronic Services as we may prescribe from time to time, whether or not you in fact make use of such Electronic Services. We are authorised to debit your Account(s) for all charges, fees, withdrawals and payments for the provision and/or use (authorised or unauthorised) of Electronic Services and any other liabilities to, and loss suffered by, us as a result of the provision and/or use of Electronic Services.

6. If any payment has been made by us as a result of your use or purported use of Electronic Services:-
(a) and the Account was consequently debited, but the debit was reversed in error or the Account was not debited at all; or
(b) after any payment instruction was given on the Account but before such payment instruction has been honoured
then we shall be entitled to correct the Account by (i) debiting the Account with the amount paid by us; or (ii) by dishonouring or returning cheques or other instruments and reversing the payment instruction, if there are insufficient funds available in the Account, as the case may be.

7. If the Account has insufficient available funds to meet any request for payment of monies or to satisfy any liability, we may (but are not bound to) grant you credit to meet such payment or liability. You undertake to pay interest and charges at such rates or amounts as determined by us.

8. Where a Transaction, or the debiting or crediting of any Account in connection with a Transaction, requires the conversion of one currency into another, we are authorised to effect such conversions at the rate determined by us and/or Participants.

9. If GST is charged on any payment, you will pay such GST in addition to all sums payable and indemnify us against any payment we are required by law to collect and make in respect of such GST. We may debit the Account for such GST, including default interest payable in the same manner as may be provided in this Agreement or in any related agreement for credit facilities, and/or any other charges, as we may prescribe from time to time, even if such debiting results in the Account becoming overdrawn.

Use of Electronic Services
10. We and/or the Participants may at any time without notice to you (a) determine and vary the frequency and manner of use of Electronic Services, transaction limits, operating hours, types of facilities and services available through Electronic Services or (b) add or delete any Participant.

11. You will be responsible for all Transactions made by the use or purported use of the Electronic Services by any person, with or without your authority, knowledge or consent, and may not claim against us in respect of any such use or purported use.

12. We and/or the Participants may at any time, without notice to you and without assigning any reason therefor, and without liability for any inconvenience, loss, damage or injury suffered by you or any third party:-
(a) limit, suspend or terminate any or all of the Electronic Services; or
(b) disallow any Transaction or allow a Transaction subject to such conditions as we see fit; or
(c) revoke or suspend your, or any User's, right and authority to use Electronic Services; or
(d) retain or reject any Card and/or PIN.

13. Any claims against or disputes with a Participant are to be settled between you and the Participant. You will not claim against us in this respect.

14. Cash and proceeds of cheques (including house cheques) deposited through the Electronic Services cannot be withdrawn until collected and verified by us. Our determination of the amount deposited shall be conclusive against and binding on you.

Customer's Duty
15. The DBS Card is our property and must be returned to us on request or on cancellation or termination of the DBS Card and/or this Agreement. The DBS Card is to be used solely by you, or the User, as the case may be, and must not be transferred or pledged as security in any way.

(b) equipment and software providers, service providers, network providers (including but not limited to telecommunications providers, Internet browser providers or Internet access providers) and Participants may have or be able to gain access to any Information transmitted over the relevant system, and you agree not hold us liable in any way in this respect.

18. Neither we nor any of our officials shall be liable for any loss or damage suffered by you or any User as a result of any disclosure of any Information which you have consented to us and/or any of our officials disclosing.

19. You will provide us with any information or documentation that we may reasonably request relating to your use of the Electronic Services and shall cooperate with us in any related investigation or litigation.

(a) our compliance with any instruction given or purported to be given by you or a User relating to Electronic Services, notwithstanding that the integrity of the information comprised in such instruction may have been compromised or impaired during transmission, provided that such compromise or impairment would not have been apparent to a reasonable person receiving such instruction;
(b) your being deprived of the use of any Electronic Service as a consequence of any action by us and/or the Participants; or
(c) any Electronic Service not being available due to system maintenance or breakdown/non-availability of any network; or
(d) any failure by us and/or any Participant to perform any obligation or observe any term of this Agreement if such failure arises from a failure of, or any unauthorised and/or unlawful access to, any machine, data processing system or transmission link or any act of force majeure such as acts of God, war or warlike hostilities, civil commotions, riots, blockades, embargoes, sabotage, strikes, lock-outs, fire, flood, shortage of material or labour, delay in deliveries from sub-contractors, or any event outside our control; or
