We shall, in most cases, give reasonable notice to you of the rates and other relevant information on any fees before they become effective provided that the variation is within our control. We reserve the right to amend charges of fees/commission and the continued use of the Wallet and Services shall be taken as acceptance by you of the terms, benefits and fees.
12.2
Fees for services: In consideration of our agreement to provide the services, you agree to pay the fees set out in:

- The reporting channel shall be available at any time every calendar day, unless it is a manned phone line, in which case that reporting channel shall be available during business hours every business day.
38. Claim Investigation
37.1
Exercising reasonable discretion, we will assess any claim submitted by you regarding an Unauthorized Transaction (“Relevant Claim”) to determine liability. Should we conclude that the Relevant Claim does not qualify as an Unauthorized Transaction, we will address the claim in a fair and reasonable manner. We will communicate the resolution process and our assessment of the claim to you promptly and transparently.
37.2
We may require you to provide a police report related to an Unauthorized Transaction claim before initiating the claims resolution process. Upon your request, we will furnish relevant information regarding all Unauthorized Transactions initiated or executed from the Protected Account, including transaction dates, timestamps, and involved parties.
37.3
We will conclude our investigation of any Relevant Claim within twenty-one (21) business days for straightforward cases or forty-five (45) business days for complex cases. Complex cases may involve parties to the Unauthorized Transaction residing overseas or instances where we lack sufficient information from the Account Holder to complete the investigation. Within these timelines,we will provide each designated Account Holder, as instructed for Transaction
Notifications, with a written or verbal report of the investigation outcome and an assessment of liability. We will also seek acknowledgment (not necessarily agreement) from the Account Holder regarding the investigation report.
37.4
If you disagree with our liability assessment, or if we have determined that the claim does not qualify as an Unauthorized Transaction, the parties may pursue alternative dispute resolution options, including mediation through the Financial Industry Disputes Resolution Centre (FIDReC).
37.5
Upon completing our investigation and determining that you bear no liability for the Unauthorized Transaction, we will credit your Protected Account with the total loss resulting from it. We will inform you of this arrangement at the time you report the Unauthorized Transaction and provide a timeline for the investigation’s completion.
38. Liability for losses arising from Unauthorized Transactions
38.1
You are fully liable for any actual loss resulting from an Unauthorized Transaction if recklessness by any Account User is determined to be the primary cause of the loss, including, but not limited to, instances where an Account User knowingly failed to comply with the requirements under these terms. You are required to provide any information we may reasonably request to assist in assessing whether an Account User acted recklessly.
38.2
For the avoidance of doubt, where any Account User knew of and consented to a transaction (“Authorised Transaction”), such a transaction is not an Unauthorised Transaction, notwithstanding that the Account Holder may not have consented to the transaction. This would also include the situation where any Account User acts fraudulently to defraud any Account Holder or us. In such a case, the Account Holder shall be solely liable for entire loss.
38.3
You are not liable for any loss arising from an Unauthorized Transaction if the loss arises from, solely on account of, any action or omission by us and does not arise from any failure by any Account User to comply with any duty in this agreement.
38.4
Any action or omission by us includes the following:
- fraud or negligence by us, our employee, our agent or any outsourcing service provider contracted by us to provide our services through the Protected Account;
- non-compliance by us or our employee with any requirement imposed by a regulatory authority on us in respect of our provision of any financial service;
- non-compliance by us with any duty set out in this agreement.
38.5
You are not liable for any loss arising from an Unauthorized Transaction that does not exceed $1,000, if the loss arises from any action or omission by any third party not referred to in paragraph 37.4 above and does not arise from any failure by any Account User to comply with any duty under this agreement.
38.6
Where the Protected Account is a joint account, the liability for losses set out in this section applies jointly to each Account Holder in a joint account.
39. Specific duties in relation to Erroneous Transactions
39.1
Where you notify us under this section that you or an Account User has initiated a payment transaction from a Protected Account resulting in funds being placed with or transferred to an unintended recipient ("Erroneous Transaction"), we will promptly inform the Financial Institution (FI) of the unintended recipient, as practicable. We will make reasonable efforts to assist in the recovery of the funds sent in error.
39.2
For the purposes of paragraph above, reasonable efforts mean the following:
- where we are the FI of Account Holder:
- within two business days of receiving the necessary information from you under this section, we shall inform the recipient FI of the erroneous transaction;
- within seven business days of informing the recipient FI, we shall ask the recipient FI for the recipient’s response and provide you with any new relevant information to allow you to assess if you should make a police report about the erroneous transaction.
- where we are the FI of the wrong recipient:
- within two business days of receiving the necessary information about any Erroneous Transaction, we will:
- Inform the recipient of the erroneous transaction and provide any necessary information to enable the recipient to confirm whether the transaction was indeed erroneous;
- Request instructions from the recipient on whether to return the sum sent in error to you; and
- Notify the recipient that retaining or using funds transferred in error, after being informed of the erroneous transaction, constitutes an offense under the Penal Code.
- within five business days of receiving the necessary information about any erroneous transaction, we will:
