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.

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.

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:-

conditions as we see fit; or

on you.

or on cancellation or termination of the DBS Card and/or this Agreement.

may be, and must not be transferred or pledged as security in any
way.
