2 PAYMENT SERVICES & ELIGIBILITY
2.1 Payment Services
XFERS PTE. LTD. is a payment services provider and acts as such by creating, hosting, maintaining and providing our Fazz Services to you via the Internet. Our services allow you to send payments/transfers to anyone with an Account or a Non-Fazz Account, and, where available, to receive payments/transfers. Our service availability varies by country.
XFERS operates the following e-money or digital payment token systems: (1) where the records relating to XFERS e-money or XFERS Tokens are stored on XFERS' internal ledger, and (2) where the records relating to XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens are stored on a blockchain ledger, and such XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens are represented in the form of transferable digital tokens or stablecoins. The latter system is intended to create an open and interoperable network that would enable more flexible third-party development of new applications involving XFERS Tokens.
XFERS also provides account issuance, merchant acquisition, domestic money transfer and inward cross-border money transfer services in respect of XFERS e-money.
XFERS also allows Users to hold XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in their StraitsX Wallet(s), with such XFERS Tokens being recognised by the relevant blockchain system as being held and controlled by XFERS. XFERS will correspondingly maintain an internal ledger which records the XFERS Tokens that it holds and controls on behalf of each User.
Subject to all Applicable Laws, the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Clause 6.6 below), and any fees where applicable, XFERS undertakes to redeem / purchase from any User, one (1) XFERS Token for one (1) Singapore Dollar ("SGD") or, as the case may be, one (1) unit of such other currency that the relevant XFERS Token is denominated in or pegged to. XFERS will hold SGD and/or other currencies or assets ("XFERS Reserves") to back the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens in circulation. The composition of the XFERS Reserves used to back the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens is within the sole control and at the sole and absolute discretion of XFERS. While XFERS may hold XFERS Reserves in interest-bearing accounts or other yield-generating assets or instruments, holders of the XFERS Tokens are not entitled to any interest or other returns earned by the XFERS Reserves
XFERS is not a bank or deposit-taking company, and XFERS does not maintain any bank account or any current, savings or deposit account for Users.
XFERS is not providing the function of a settlement institution but is merely providing technology infrastructure support. All settlements are to be carried out by the Users’ bank.
XFERS is not in the business of moneylending.
XFERS is not a common carrier or public utility.
2.2 Eligibility
To be eligible to use the Fazz Services:
(a) You must be able to form legally binding contracts under Singapore law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) you must be at least 18 years old or higher; and (ii) (for corporate bodies) you must have obtained the necessary corporate and/or regulatory approvals to use such Services.
(b) You must not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting Fazz / StraitsX as a payment method. However, this does not prevent you from passing on the fees charged by Fazz / StraitsX for the Services to the User sending the payment/making the transfer, provided that you accurately communicate that you (and not XFERS) are the party charging the fees to the User. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of products/goods/assets/property or services, as long as the handling fee is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-XFERS transactions and that you accurately communicate that you (and not XFERS) are the party charging such fees.
2.3 Legal Relationship
2.3.1 The XFERS e-money issued by XFERS is regarded as "e-money" under the PSA. XFERS PTE. LTD., as the holder of a major payment institution licence, is required to ensure that the Relevant Money received by XFERS is safeguarded in a manner prescribed by MAS. In this regard, CIMB Bank Berhad Singapore Branch ("CIMB"), as a Safeguarding Institution, has undertaken to be fully liable to Users for the Relevant Money in accordance with the Payment Services Banking Service Agreement entered into between XFERS and CIMB, as may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time.
For the avoidance of doubt, CIMB does not own, operate nor manage the Account, nor is it an issuer of the Account or the XFERS e-money under the PSA. However, as a Safeguarding Institution, CIMB, in addition to XFERS, is liable for the Relevant Money in accordance with the requirements under the PSA. In addition, CIMB will not be liable for all moneys received by XFERS from or on account of any User, in exchange for the sale and/or issuance of XFERS Tokens by XFERS.
2.3.2 In providing the Services, XFERS does not act as principal but acts as facilitator on behalf of the Users to send payments/transfers to other Users or Non-Fazz Account holders via the Users’ Accounts. As such, each payment/transfer transaction is between you and the other User or Non-Fazz Account holder, where the relationship may be contractual in nature.
We do not have any control over, and are not responsible or liable for, the products/goods/assets/property (whether tangible or intangible) or services that are paid for with our Service. We cannot ensure that a buyer or a seller you are dealing with will actually complete the transaction. Accordingly, neither XFERS, CIMB, nor any of their officers, employees or agents shall be liable in any way for the products/goods/assets/property and services sold or provided by the User or Non-Fazz Account holder including any defect, damage, quality, failure or unavailability of or relating to the products/goods/assets/property purchased from or services provided by the User or Non-Fazz Account holder or for any other disputes concerning the said products/goods/assets/property or services.

Unless otherwise instructed, when you make a payment or transfer, XFERS will fund your transaction in this order (subject to availability based on your payment methods and country of registration):
(a) Balance XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet;
(b) Bank transfer from your bank account;
(c) Debit card; and then
(d) Credit card.
5.3 Card Charge Authorisation
By adding a debit card or credit card to your Account as a payment method, you are providing XFERS with continuous authority to automatically charge that card to obtain the relevant funds when the card is used as a payment method pursuant to this Agreement. You can stop the continuous authority in respect of any card by removing that card as a payment method in your Account profile.
If you pay for a transaction with your debit card or credit card without adding it as a payment method, you are providing us with irrevocable authority to charge that card to obtain the relevant funds required for that transaction.
5.4 Obtaining XFERS Credits
In addition to the XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens stored in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet, you may obtain XFERS Credits which may be used to pay for your transactions with Merchant Account Users or Platform Users.
You may obtain XFERS Credits in the following ways:
(a) We may issue you XFERS Credits as part of a promotional campaign which we may conduct from time to time (for example, cashback schemes, loyalty reward schemes, bonus top-up schemes, etc);
(b) You may purchase XFERS Credits from us using the balance in your Fazz / StraitsX Account;
(c) You may purchase XFERS Credits from us by making a bank transfer from your bank account; or
(d) You may purchase XFERS Credits from us by using your debit card or credit card.
You may use your XFERS Credits to:
(i) pay (partially or fully) for transactions with our selected Merchant Account Users or Platform Users; or
(ii) pay us any fees for using Fazz Services.
XFERS may at its sole and absolute discretion reject your request to purchase XFERS Credits for any reason whatsoever.
XFERS Credits are not redeemable for cash nor are they refundable under any circumstances. They cannot be resold or exchanged for value under any circumstances. XFERS Credits shall not be regarded, construed, or used as valuable or exchangeable instruments under any circumstances.
You may check your XFERS Credits balance in your Fazz / StraitsX Account. The XFERS Credits balance set out in your Account shall serve as conclusive evidence of your XFERS Credits.
XFERS Credits will only be valid for (6) six months from the date of their last purchase or spend, whichever is later. The expiry date set out in your Account will serve as conclusive evidence of the expiry date of your XFERS Credits. XFERS shall have the right to deal with the expired XFERS Credits in such manner as it deems fit in its absolute discretion. You hereby agree that you will have no claim whatsoever against XFERS for any expired XFERS Credits.
As your XFERS payments may involve credit or debit cards transaction through our third party service providers and financial institutions, if such transaction results in a reversal or chargeback from our third party service providers or financial institutions, we reserve the right to charge you an administrative fee in addition to a claw-back of the amount from your XFERS Credits or your Account balance, or any other way we deem fit.
5.5 Sending Payments/Transfers from your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet
If you are making a payment and/or transfer from your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet and your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet does not have sufficient XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, you are required to add XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet, which may be done through one or more of the following ways:
(a) Instruct that we issue XFERS e-money or credit XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your StraitsX Wallet by:
(i) transferring money from your bank account into XFERS’ designated bank account (as stated on our website); or
(ii) entering your debit card or credit card details and provide XFERS with irrevocable authority to charge that card to obtain the relevant funds required for that transaction; or
(b) transfer XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your Non-Fazz Account into XFERS' designated wallet address as stated on our website.
If you transfer money from your bank account, we will not issue XFERS e-money or credit XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet unless we receive the money in the XFERS designated bank account(s) as stated on our website, with the correct initials / transaction reference code (as generated by the XFERS system).
If you transfer XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your Non-Fazz Account, your StraitsX Wallet will not be credited with XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens unless we receive the Tokens in the XFERS designated wallet address with the correct initials / transaction reference code (as generated by the XFERS system). The transfer of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your Non-Fazz Account is also subject to Clause 5.7 below.
Upon receiving sufficient money in exchange for the issuance of XFERS e-money / purchase of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, we will credit your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet accordingly with XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens (subject to any issuance limits, purchase limits, transfer limits and/or maximum limit(s) of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens that you can hold in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet, which we may impose pursuant to Clause 4.1 and 4.3 and Clause 8.2 respectively) and effect the transfer to the User or the Non-Fazz Account holder you wish to pay/transfer. Any amounts topped-up in excess of the issuance limits, transfer limits or which will cause the amount of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens held in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet to exceed the maximum limits may be reflected in your Temporary Holding Balance instead.
If the User or Non-Fazz Account holder does not receive the funds after the following period of time, please contact XFERS immediately:
(a) three (3) Business Days after the XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet has been debited, where you and the recipient are both in Singapore; and
(b) seven (7) Business Days after the XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet has been debited, where you are in Singapore and the recipient is outside Singapore (or in a case where the recipient is in Singapore, where you are outside Singapore).
5.6 Receiving Payments/Transfers
If you are receiving payments and/or transfers from credit card or debit card transactions on XFERS, you might be using one of our third party service providers, such as Stripe Payments Singapore Pte Ltd (“Stripe”). We may change the service providers we use any time without prior notice.
In addition to these terms, you agree to comply with the User Agreement governing your use of the services of our service providers. For instance, your use of Stripe’s services are governed by Stripe Connected Account Agreement (found here: https://stripe.com/connect/account-terms).
You agree and irrevocably authorise XFERS to collect and disclose your transaction information to such third party service providers. Your information will be used in accordance with their respective privacy policies. For instance, Stripe will handle your information in accordance with their Stripe Privacy Policy (found here: https://stripe.com/privacy).
5.7 Receiving Payments/Transfers of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from Non-Fazz Accounts
You may receive payments and/or transfers of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from Non-Fazz Accounts into your StraitsX Wallet. Where applicable, we may convert the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens that are to be paid / transferred to your Account to XFERS e-money or funds before depositing them into your Account.
We may in our sole and absolute discretion restrict or prohibit the payment and/or transfer of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from any Non-Fazz Account to a StraitsX Wallet and/or impose a limit on the amount of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens that may be transferred from any Non-Fazz Account to a StraitsX Wallet (i.e. transfer limits). We shall not be liable for any loss (direct or indirect) suffered by you or any other person due to any such transfer and/or payment restriction or prohibition imposed by us.
Your StraitsX Wallet only supports sending and receiving of XFERS Tokens and/or supported Non-XFERS Tokens. If you or any third party (including Non-Fazz Account holders) attempt to send any other virtual currency, token, digital currency, or similar digital assets (“Other Digital Assets”) into your Account, such Other Digital Assets will be lost forever. We bear no responsibility for any losses you might incur as a result of you or any third party sending Other Digital Assets to your Account.
If you have not received a payment/transfer from a Non-Fazz Account within a reasonable time, your only recourse will be to contact the payment sender/transferor, and/or the party that issues/operates (if applicable) the Non-Fazz Account. We shall not be responsible or liable for the failure of any payment/transfer made from a Non-Fazz Account.
5.8 Payment/Transfer Review
Payment/Transfer Review is a process by which we review certain potentially high-risk transactions. If a payment/transfer is subject to Payment/Transfer Review, we may place a hold on the payment/transfer and conduct a review and either clear or cancel the payment/transfer. If the payment/transfer is cleared, to the extent that the payment/transfer is made to an Fazz / StraitsX Account, the receiving User will be notified that the funds have been transferred. Otherwise, the payment/transfer will be cancelled and returned to the sending User’s Account or the sending Non-Fazz Account holder.
5.9 Risk of Reversals, Chargebacks and Claims
When you receive a payment/transfer, you are liable to us for the full amount of the payment/transfer plus any fees if the payment/transfer is later invalidated for any reason, regardless of whether such payment/transfer has been received from an Fazz / StraitsX Account or Non-Fazz Account. This means that, in addition to any other liability, you will be responsible for the amount of the payment/transfer, plus the applicable fees, as charged by us, if you lose a Claim or a Chargeback, or if there is a Reversal of the payment/transfer.
5.10 Refund or Return of Paid/Transferred Amount
If you are a receiving User wishing to return or refund the paid/transferred amount to the sending User or to the sending Non-Fazz Account holder (as the case may be), you should contact our customer support team. The return or refund amount should not exceed the original paid/transferred amount. The processing of any return or refund is in XFERS’ absolute discretion, and if a return or refund is issued, you continue to be liable for fees for the initial payment/transfer, as well as the prevailing administrative fees for effecting such a return or refund (if any).
If you are a sending User, you should contact the receiving User if you wish to get a return or refund for the paid/transferred amount. We may, in our absolute discretion, assist you in contacting the receiving User, but we shall not be under any obligation to return or refund you the paid/transferred amount.
For any payments/transfers of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to Non-Fazz Accounts, XFERS is under no obligation to entertain any request for returns or refunds from the sender of such payments/transfers made to Non-Fazz Accounts. The sender shall bear full responsibility or liability for any payment/transfer made to Non-Fazz Accounts.

You shall not attempt to or receive a return or refund for the same transaction from more than one of the following parties:
(a) a receiving User or Non-Fazz Account holder;

You can withdraw XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet to your Attached Bank Account at any time. If you do not use such XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet for a prolonged period, we may remind you to withdraw some or all of such XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens, or we may return such XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens to your Attached Bank Account. In the case of XFERS Tokens, the withdrawal of the XFERS Tokens will be effected through a redemption / purchase of the XFERS Tokens from you, for a corresponding amount of fiat currency, followed by the withdrawal of such fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account.
Further, you irrevocably authorise us to withdraw some or all of your funds (including XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens) in your Account (which are in excess of prevailing limits) to your Attached Bank Account.
Please note that XFERS Tokens that are stored in any Non-Fazz Account must first be transferred to XFERS' designated wallet address and credited into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet, before XFERS will redeem / purchase such XFERS Tokens from you for a corresponding amount of fiat currency, followed by the withdrawal of such fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account.
XFERS reserves the right to deal with any redeemed / purchased XFERS Tokens in its sole discretion, including but not limited to matters relating to the burning of such XFERS Tokens.
6.2 Selling/Redemption of Non-XFERS Tokens
You may instruct us to sell / redeem supported Non-XFERS Tokens in your StraitsX Wallet on your behalf, followed by the transfer of the equivalent amount of fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account.
We may use third party service providers to facilitate your sale / redemption of Non-XFERS Tokens. In connection with your sale / redemption of Non-XFERS Tokens, we are only obligated to transmit your sale / redemption instruction, and the details of your Attached Bank Account, to such third party service providers. You shall be solely responsible for ensuring that your Attached Bank Account is able to receive the appropriate fiat currency from your sale / redemption of Non-XFERS Tokens.
We have no obligation to ensure that the third party service provider transfers the equivalent amount of fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account. You shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the amount of fiat currency received in your Attached Bank Account is accurate and corresponds to the amount of Non-XFERS Tokens which you instruct us to sell, less any applicable fees. We bear no responsibility for any losses you might incur as a result of the failure of third party service providers to transfer any amount of fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account.
We have no obligation to purchase your Non-XFERS Tokens for the equivalent amount of fiat currency.

We shall not be liable for any loss (direct or indirect) suffered by you or any other person due to any such transfer and/or payment restriction or prohibition imposed by us.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that the Non-Fazz Account into which you are transferring XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens supports such Tokens. If you attempt to send XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your StraitsX Wallet to a Non-Fazz Account that does not support such Tokens, your XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens will be lost forever. XFERS bears no responsibility for any losses you might incur as a result of you sending XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your StraitsX Wallet to a Non-Fazz Account that does not support such Tokens.

We also reserve the right to charge you withdrawal fees for any withdrawal of the funds in your Temporary Holding Balance, Settlement Wallet or otherwise to your Attached Bank Account (whether pursuant to Clause 8.3, Clause 8.4, Clause 9.7 or otherwise).
6.6 Delays in Redemption / Purchase of XFERS Tokens

8 YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE & REWARDS
8.1 Balances
The funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) in your Account will be reflected in your Account balance (whether in the Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet balance, Settlement Wallet balance, or Temporary Holding Balance). Each time you transact with or add funds into your Account (including where you Instruct that we issue XFERS e-money or credit XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet), you shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the balance reflected is accurate and corresponds to the amount paid or transferred to your Account, or the amount that you have provided us with in exchange for the issuance of XFERS e-money or crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet.
XFERS, and the Safeguarding Institution and their respective officers, employees and agents shall not be liable for any error or omission not drawn to their attention upon any payments or transfers to/from Fazz / StraitsX Accounts, or Instruction for issuance of XFERS e-money or crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet.

Without limiting the generality of the actions we may take under Clause 14, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, withhold some or all of your funds in your Settlement Wallet.

8.6 Negative Balances and Multiple Currencies
If your Account has a negative balance for any reason, you shall take all necessary actions to restore your Account to a zero or positive balance as soon as possible.
XFERS may set-off the negative balance with any funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) that you subsequently add to or receive into your Account. If you have multiple currency balances in your Account and one of the currency balances becomes negative for any reason, you irrevocably authorise XFERS to set-off the negative balance by using funds you maintain in a different currency balance by converting the said funds at the prevailing currency exchange rate as stated on our website.
If your Account still remains negative despite the set-off, you shall, as soon as possible, transfer (a) money from your bank account, debit card or credit card into XFERS’ designated bank account, or (b) XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into XFERS’ designated wallet address to bring your Account to a zero or positive balance (whether through an issuance of XFERS e-money or crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet or a transfer of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet).

10 INTEGRATION WITH YOUR WEBSITE, APP OR BUSINESS
10.1 Integration
We offer advanced features for Users with Merchant Accounts to start sending or accepting payments via Fazz Services by integrating certain software features into their existing website(s), app(s), software, or service(s).
Users are advised to study the developers’ documentation in the Fazz / StraitsX website and to conduct extensive testing on their websites before “going live” to accept payments or transfers from their customers using the integrated Fazz Services.
10.2 Platform Users
10.2.1 Platform Users: We enable Users to integrate Fazz Services in their platform or marketplace (referred to as “Platform Users”) to manage the payment experience of their end-users, who may be buying or selling products/goods/assets/property or services on such platforms or marketplaces. Platform Users are able to, amongst other things, create a new Fazz / StraitsX Account on behalf of their end-users, send payments, receive payments and withdraw funds from their end-user’s Account on the end-user’s behalf.
For the avoidance of doubt, as a Platform User, you do not own any of the transactions or other details related to any User’s Fazz / StraitsX Account. Your role is only as a facilitator.
10.2.2 Agreements with end-users: As a Platform User, you must have an agreement, whether written or otherwise, with your end-user on how you will be transacting with their Fazz / StraitsX Account.
You represent and warrant to Xfers that you will: (a) obtain authorisation from your end-users for all the Activity initiated on their behalf, and for the use of their data obtained through or used with the Fazz Services by you, your employees, and your agents; (b) not use the Fazz Services or knowingly permit the use of the Fazz Services in a manner that is fraudulent, unlawful, deceptive or abusive.
You must always take all reasonable steps to ensure that your end-users do not use Fazz Services in violation of these terms or for any Restricted Activity.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that each end-user using the Fazz Services expressly agrees to comply with this Terms of Service. You must ensure that these end-users agree to these terms in a manner that clearly evidences their acceptance and makes clear that XFERS is providing services to them subject to these Terms of Service. You must ensure that each end-user has an opportunity to review these Terms of Service prior to acceptance that the end-user’s acceptance is sufficient under applicable law (including by ensuring that the person agreeing on behalf of the end-user is of suitable legal age and is authorised to bind the end-user), and that such acceptance is confirmed, recorded, and can be audited.
10.2.3 Data protection: You agree to have a privacy policy in place to inform your end-users on how their personal information will be collected, used, disclosed and transferred. You will use all reasonable efforts to protect and secure the personal information of your end-users against unauthorised use or disclosure.
You will include a prominent link to your privacy policy and to our Privacy Policy (found here: https://fazz.com/sg/privacy-policy/fazz-biz/pp-sg/) in your agreement.
You will promptly inform us and your end-users where any of their personal information is accessed or disclosed in a manner or for a purpose not indicated in your privacy policy and without their consent.
10.2.4 Platform Users’ right to charge fees: As a Platform User, you may choose to charge your end-users additional fees on top of our fees. We will deduct those fees from transactions completed through your services and allocate them to your Fazz / StraitsX Account immediately.
You are solely responsible for accurately and clearly communicating in your agreement with your end-users such fees for their use of your services. You also agree to accurately and clearly communicate to us any such fees that you plan to charge to your end-users before they sign up to use your services.
10.3 Transactions with Linked Fazz / StraitsX Accounts
10.3.1 Authorised transactions and Instructions only: If you are a Platform User or Merchant Account User transacting with another User’s Account linked to your website, app, software or service, you shall ensure that you have been duly authorised or have a legal or contractual right to transact with, give Instructions, or otherwise make any deductions from these linked Users’ Accounts.
10.3.2 Responsibility for Transactions and Instructions: You are solely responsible for all transactions and Instructions you have given to us in relation to the Users’ Accounts linked to your website, app, software or service. This includes the provision of any products/goods/assets/property or services sold to such Users or your other end-users as part of your use of the Fazz Services, as well as any obligations you may owe to such Users or your other end-users. Consequently, you agree to fully indemnify us (in accordance with Clause 17.4) in relation to any such transactions or Instructions on your linked Users’ Accounts.
10.3.3 Responsibility for Chargebacks, Reversals, refunds etc.: Without limiting the generality of Clause 14.1, you are financially liable for all Chargebacks, Reversals, refunds, charges and fines for transactions or Instructions on your linked Users’ Accounts.
10.4 Non-Fazz Accounts opened by Platform Users and Merchant Account Users
Platform Users and Merchant Account Users may also open and operate Non-Fazz Accounts for their customers (“Platform/Merchant Customers”) to store XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens. The use of any such Non-Fazz Accounts by the Platform/Merchant Customers shall be subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the Platform Users and Merchant Account Users.
If you are a Platform User or Merchant Account User who has opened/opens Non-Fazz Accounts for your Platform/Merchant Customers, you hereby undertake to us to comply with all Applicable Laws, including but not limited to all anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism laws of all jurisdiction(s) that you operate in.
We may require Platform Users or Merchant Account Users to separately agree to additional terms and conditions relating to (among other matters) the purchase, sale, and use of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in the Non-Fazz Accounts operated by the Platform Users or Merchant Account Users.
10.5 Fazz / StraitsX Co-Branding
If you are a Platform User or a Merchant Account User using advanced features like our integration APIs, we may require you to feature the Fazz / StraitsX logo and branding at your payment options or payment pages or both. The exact placements and layouts of the Fazz / StraitsX logo and branding shall be discussed with and agreed on by us, and may be subject to change from time to time.
10.6 Use of Fazz / StraitsX APIs
We may make available to you Fazz / StraitsX API guides and documentation, and you shall comply with such documentation in connection with the integration and use of the APIs.
You are prohibited from interfacing with Fazz / StraitsX APIs in a way which we have stated is not permitted in the documentation.
10.7 Grant of Software Licence
If you are using Fazz / StraitsX software such as an API, developer’s toolkit or other software application that you have downloaded to your computer, device, or other platform, then we grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use our software in accordance with the documentation. This license grant includes the software and all updates, upgrades, new versions and replacement software. You may not rent, lease or otherwise transfer your rights in the software to a third party. You must comply with the implementation and use requirements contained in all Fazz / StraitsX documentation accompanying the Fazz Services.

You agree not to alter, reproduce, adapt, distribute, display, publish, reverse engineer, translate, disassemble, decompile or otherwise attempt to create any source code which is derived from the software. You acknowledge that all rights, title and interest to our software are owned by XFERS. Any third party software application you use on the Fazz / StraitsX website is subject to the license you agreed to with the third party that provides you with this software. Fazz / StraitsX does not own, control nor have any responsibility or liability for any third party software application you elect to use on the Fazz / StraitsX website and/or in connection with the Fazz Services. If you are using the Fazz Services on the Fazz / StraitsX website, or other website or platform hosted by us, or a third party, and are not downloading our software or using third party software applications on the Fazz / StraitsX website, then this Clause does not apply to your use of the hosted Fazz Services.
10.8 No Support
We do not provide technical or customer support in relation to integrating Fazz Services into your website or your business. If we do provide any support, it is purely out of goodwill and we shall not be obligated to continue or follow-up in any matter. Additionally, we shall not be liable for any losses (direct or indirect, special or consequential) that you may suffer from any support that we have provided, even if it was provided negligently.
You should consult or engage a web developer or an IT team to integrate the Fazz Services into your business.
11 CLOSING YOUR FAZZ / STRAITSX ACCOUNT
11.1 How to Close Your Fazz / StraitsX Account
You may terminate this Agreement and close your Account at any time by following the instructions in your Account profile. Upon closure of your Account, we will cancel any pending transactions and you will forfeit any special discounts or promotional credits etc., unless we are otherwise legally prohibited from doing so. You must redeem and/or withdraw your Account balance prior to closing your Account. You agree that you will continue to be responsible for all obligations related to your Account even after it is closed.
11.2 Limitations on Closing Your Account
You may not evade an investigation by closing your Account. If you close your Account while we are conducting an investigation, we may hold the funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) in your Account to protect XFERS, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates or a third party against the risk of Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability. You will remain liable for all obligations related to your Account even after the Account is closed.
12 ERRORS & UNAUTHORISED TRANSACTIONS
12.1 Safeguarding your Account ID, password and API keys
You are responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of any and all IDs, passwords, personal identification numbers (PINs), API keys, API secret keys, or any other codes that you use to access Fazz Services or to send any Instruction to us. All such codes should be protected, and you should not (a) voluntarily disclose any code to any third party, except as instructed by us for any purpose including to initiate or execute any payment/transfer transaction through your Account, (b) disclose any code in a recognisable way on your Account or any other account; or (c) keep a record of any code in a way that allows any third party to easily misuse the code.
If you keep a record of any code, you should make reasonable efforts to secure the record, including (a) keeping the record in a secure electronic or physical location accessible or known only to you, and (b) keeping the record in a place where the record is unlikely to be found by a third party.
When using a device to access your Account, you should (a) update your device's browser (e.g. Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox) to the latest version available, (b) patch the device's operating systems (e.g. Windows operating system (OS), Macintosh OS, iOS, Android OS) with regular security updates provided by the operating system provider, (c) install and maintain the latest anti-virus software on the device, where applicable, and (d) use strong passwords, such as a mixture of letters, numbers and symbols.
Where any Non-Fazz Account is opened, maintained and/or operated by you, you are responsible for maintaining security and control of any private key, password or code that you use to access your Non-Fazz Account.
12.2 Transaction Notifications
You are also responsible for enabling transaction notification alerts on any device used to receive transaction notifications from us, opting to receive all transaction notifications for all outgoing transactions (of any amount) made from your Account, and to monitor the transaction notifications sent to your primary email address and/or telephone number. We may assume that you will monitor such transaction notifications without further reminders or repeat notifications.
12.3 Unauthorised Transactions
You are responsible for the control and use of your Account and any Instructions sent from your Account are deemed to be authorised and are binding on you. As stated in Clause 9.1, we are not in the position (nor are we obligated) to verify the identity or authority of any person(s) using your Account.
If you discover a transaction in your Account that you did not authorise, you should contact us immediately as soon as practicable after discovery of the unauthorised transaction by submitting a support ticket through this this link: https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new, and provide us with all information that we may request from you (such information being any of the information set out in paragraph 3.9 of the MAS E-Payments User Protection Guidelines (effective 5 September 2020)). You may also wish to contact the other relevant party (e.g. the recipient of your XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, or the bank which the money was withdrawn to) directly to resolve the issue.
Where you are not able to report the unauthorised transaction to us as soon as you receive any transaction notification alert for any unauthorised transaction, you should provide us with reasons for the delayed report should we so request.
You undertake to make a police report where we request for you to do so.
We are not liable in respect of any unauthorised transactions on Non-Fazz Accounts. Please contact your Non-Fazz Account issuer/operator (if applicable) in respect of any unauthorised transactions on your Non-Fazz Account.
12.4 Our Errors
We will rectify any Error that we discover.
(a) If an Error results in you receiving less than the correct amount which you are entitled to, XFERS will restore your Account balance with the difference.
(b) If an Error results in you receiving more than the correct amount which you are entitled to, we will remove the extra funds from your Account balance. If the deduction results in your Account balance becoming negative, you shall add funds into your Account (in accordance with Clause 8.6 above) as soon as possible to restore your Account to a zero or positive balance.
12.5 Your Errors
12.5.1 Sending payments and transfers: If you erroneously send a payment or a transfer to the wrong party, or send a payment or transfer for the wrong amount (based on a typographical error, for example), you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. You should also make efforts to contact the party to whom you have sent the payment/make the transfer and ask them to refund the payment/transfer amount. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a payment/transfer that you have made in error.
If you erroneously transfer XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to a Non-Fazz Account, you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. You should also make efforts to contact the Non-Fazz Account holder and/or service provider (if any) who has opened, maintained and/or operated the Non-Fazz Account which the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens have been erroneously sent to. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a transaction that you have made in error.
12.5.2 Issuance of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens: If your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet does not have a sufficient balance to send the requested payment and/or transfer, you will have to Instruct us to issue XFERS e-money / credit XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet via bank transfer or alternative funding sources. If you erroneously transferred money to the wrong bank account (i.e. a bank account that is not an XFERS’ designated bank account), your only recourse will be to contact your bank and ask them to cancel the transfer. If you have transferred money successfully into the XFERS designated bank account(s) but you entered the wrong initials / transaction reference code when initiating the bank transfer, you should contact Fazz / StraitsX customer support and send the necessary screenshots and documents to prove that the transfer originated from you. We are under no obligation to credit your Account with XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens unless we are satisfied that your funds were successfully transferred into XFERS’ designated bank account(s) AND with the correct initials / transaction reference code (as generated by the XFERS system).
12.5.3 Transfer of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your StraitsX Wallet: You may transfer XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your Non-Fazz Account into your StraitsX Wallet. If you have erroneously transferred XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into a wallet address other than the StraitsX designated wallet address as specified in the payment instructions, you should contact StraitsX customer support and send the necessary screenshots and documents to prove that the transfer originated from you. We do not guarantee that we will credit your StraitsX Wallet with the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens that have been erroneously transferred to a wallet address other than the wallet address designated by StraitsX, unless StraitsX is satisfied that your XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens were successfully transferred into a wallet address controlled by StraitsX.
If your XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens were erroneously transferred from your Non-Fazz Account to another Non-Fazz Account, your only recourse is to contact the Non-Fazz Account holder and/or service provider (if any) who opened, maintained and/or operated the Non-Fazz Account which the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens have been erroneously sent to. We shall not be responsible or liable in respect of any such erroneous transfer.
12.5.4 Redemptions/Withdrawals: Following from a redemption / withdrawal of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, if due to an error on your part, the funds are erroneously withdrawn to a wrong bank account, or the wrong amount is redeemed/withdrawn (based on a typographical error, for example), you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. You should also make efforts to contact the bank to whom you sent the payment and ask them to refund the payment/transfer. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a withdrawal that you have made in error.
If you have erroneously specified an incorrect bank account as your Attached Bank Account, and a withdrawal of the funds in your Fazz / StraitsX Account to such bank account was effected by us (whether pursuant to Clause 6.1, Clause 8.3, Clause 8.4, Clause 9.7 or otherwise), you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a withdrawal that has been effected by us to such incorrect bank account.

You should also make efforts to contact the service provider (if any) who has opened, maintained and/or operated the Non-Fazz Account which the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens have been erroneously sent to. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a transaction that you have made in error.
12A XFERS TOKENS
12A.1 XFERS Token Contract
You are responsible for ensuring that any XFERS Tokens that you receive and/or hold originate from the smart contract that has been developed and deployed by us in respect of the XFERS Tokens on the relevant blockchain system (each such smart contract, a "XFERS Token Contract"). You may access the list of XFERS Token Contracts on our website and/or the StraitsX website.
It is possible that a party unaffiliated with XFERS may create an alternative version of XFERS Tokens by developing and deploying a smart contract on a blockchain system, and passing off such tokens as "XFERS Tokens" ("Counterfeit XFERS Tokens")
We do not support any Counterfeit XFERS Tokens, and the provisions at Clause 5.7 which apply to Other Digital Assets will likewise apply to such Counterfeit XFERS Tokens. For the avoidance of doubt, any Counterfeit XFERS Token would not be considered as XFERS e-money, and therefore the holder(s) of such Counterfeit XFERS Tokens shall not be entitled to redeem or exchange such Counterfeit XFERS Tokens for fiat money with XFERS.
12A.2 Records of XFERS Tokens
All balances and transactions in respect of all XFERS Tokens held in a Non-Fazz Account will be determined by us based on the records stored on the relevant blockchain system, and all such determination shall, save for any fraud or manifest error in such records, be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes. In the event that we determine there is any fraud or manifest error in such records, we shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine what shall be the correct balances and transactions in respect of all XFERS Tokens (including, without limitation, all XFERS Tokens that we hold and control on behalf of Users), and all such determinations shall be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes.
Notwithstanding the above and without prejudice to Clauses 13 and 14 below, we reserve the right to blacklist any Non-Fazz Account and/or freeze any XFERS Tokens held in Non-Fazz Accounts where we, in our sole and absolute discretion, believe that such XFERS Tokens have been used for the purposes of and/or in connection with any Restricted Activity. Such XFERS Tokens which have been frozen or which are held in blacklisted Non-Fazz Accounts shall no longer be considered as XFERS Tokens, and therefore the holder(s) of such XFERS Tokens shall not be entitled to redeem or exchange such XFERS Tokens for fiat money. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, issue new XFERS Tokens in replacement for such XFERS Tokens which have been frozen or which are held in blacklisted Non-Fazz Accounts.
12A.3 Forks
As a result of the decentralised and open source nature of the XFERS Tokens, anybody may develop a patch or upgrade of the source code of the blockchain system on which records of the XFERS Tokens are stored without prior authorisation from anyone else. Accordingly, these blockchain systems can experience sudden changes in operating rules that are outside our control when a significant, but not overwhelming, percentage of the users accepts such patches or upgrades, called "forks". Consequently, this could result in the operation of two separate networks on which records of the XFERS Tokens are stored (i.e. multiple versions of the XFERS Tokens), and will remain separate until the blockchain systems are merged.
In the event of any such fork of an XFERS Token, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, determine which fork of the XFERS Token it will support, if any. We are under no obligation to support any fork of an XFERS Token. Further, we are entitled to in our sole and absolute discretion (but not obligated to) adjust your XFERS Token balance held in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet and/or adjust the records of the XFERS Tokens (by issuing and/or freezing XFERS Tokens) held by Non-Fazz Account Token Holders. Any such adjustments shall be determined by us in our sole and absolute discretion, depending on the circumstances. In doing so we will use reasonable endeavours to effect such adjustment on the basis of good faith and fairness, and where appropriate, by taking into account the records of XFERS Tokens stored (a) on the various blockchain systems, and (b) by us in our own ledger, if any.
Where we do not support any fork of an XFERS Token, XFERS Tokens which are recorded on the forked network would not be considered as XFERS Tokens, and therefore the holder(s) of such XFERS Tokens shall not be entitled to redeem or exchange such XFERS Tokens for fiat money with XFERS. This also means that we assume no responsibility for any value that might be lost as a result of any unsupported forks of any XFERS Token.
In the event of a fork of an XFERS Token, we may suspend some or all activities relating to the XFERS Token (including, without limitation, issuance, redemption, purchase, sending and/or receiving of XFERS Tokens) for an extended period of time ("Downtime") During this period of Downtime, you will not be able to Instruct us to issue XFERS Tokens, nor redeem, purchase, withdraw, send or receive XFERS Tokens.
You agree that we are not responsible or liable to you for any losses or damages, including lost profits, which may occur as a result of a fork, Downtime, or our determination to support or to not support any particular fork.
12A.4 Updates, Upgrades and Migration of XFERS Tokens
We may from time to time undertake an update or upgrade to the XFERS Tokens, or migrate the XFERS Tokens to a new blockchain system. If you decide not to participate in such an update, upgrade or migration, you may no longer be able to use your XFERS Tokens, although you may still redeem and withdraw the non-updated/upgraded/migrated XFERS Tokens with XFERS in accordance with Clause 6.1 above, subject to any additional terms that we may impose on such redemption and/or withdrawal of non-updated/upgraded/migrated XFERS Tokens in our sole and absolute discretion. You agree that we are not responsible or liable to you for any losses or damages, including lost profits, caused directly or indirectly by your failure to participate in any update, upgrade or migration of XFERS Tokens.

14 YOUR LIABILITY – ACTIONS WE MAY TAKE
14.1 Your Liability
You are responsible for all Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability incurred by us, a User, or a third party caused by or arising out of your breach of this Agreement, and/or your use of the Fazz Services. You agree to reimburse us, a User, or a third party for any and all such liability.
You are also liable for using the services of our third party service providers in a manner prohibited by them in their agreement with you, or providing inaccurate or incomplete information while using their service.
14.2 Reimbursement for Your Liability
If you are liable for any amounts owed to us, we may immediately remove such amounts from your XFERS Credit and your Account balance. If your current Account balance is insufficient to meet your liability, we will remove any funds remaining in your Account and instate your Account with a negative balance up to the remaining amount of your liability, and you shall add funds into your Account (whether through an issuance of XFERS e-money / crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet or a transfer of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet, in accordance with Clause 8.6 above) as soon as possible to restore your Account to a zero or positive balance, or to pay us through an alternative method agreed to by us.
14.3 Actions by Fazz – Restricted Activities
If we, in our sole and absolute discretion, believe that you may have engaged in any Restricted Activities, we may take various actions to protect XFERS, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, other Users, other third parties or you from Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and any other liability. The actions that may be taken include but are not limited to the following:
(a) We may close, suspend, freeze, or limit your access to your Account or the Fazz Services;
(b) We may freeze your ability to transfer, use, redeem, purchase and/or withdraw XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, whether in respect of your Account or Non-Fazz Accounts;
(c) You may have to forfeit your XFERS Credits;
(d) We may refuse to provide the Fazz Services to you now and in the future; and
(e) We may hold your funds for a period of time reasonably needed to protect against the risk of liability to XFERS or a third party, or if we believe that you may be engaging in potentially fraudulent or suspicious activity and/or transactions.
14.4 Actions by Fazz – Holds
Risk-based holds: We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, place a hold on any or all of the payments/transfers you receive/send when we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your Account, or any or all of your transactions. Our determination may be based on different factors and we may rely on information it receives from third parties. If we place a hold on a payment/transfer, the funds will appear in your “withheld balance” and the payment/transfer status will indicate the hold, for example it can show as “Completed – Funds not yet available.” We will release the hold on any payment/transfer after 30 calendar days from the date the payment/transfer was received into your Account unless we have a reason to continue to hold the payment such as (a) the receipt of a dispute, Claim, Chargeback, or Reversal, (b) we believe that you have violated the terms of this Agreement or any other Policy and that such a violation results in the need to continue holding the funds, or (c) we believe that you may be engaging in potentially fraudulent or suspicious activity and/or transactions. In such an event, we may continue holding the payment/transfer in your Account until the matter is resolved pursuant to this Agreement. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, release the hold earlier under certain circumstances, for example when you upload tracking information of the item you shipped or when the paying User confirms that you have delivered the goods or services promised.
Disputed transaction holds: If a User files a dispute, Claim, Chargeback or Reversal on a payment you received, we may place a temporary hold on the funds in your Account to cover the amount of the liability. If you win the dispute, we will lift the temporary hold. If you lose the dispute, we will remove the funds from your Account.
14.5 Actions by Fazz – Reserves
We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, place a Reserve on funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) held in your Account where we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with your Account. If we place a Reserve in your Account, transactions will be shown as “pending” or “withheld” in your Account balance, and you will not have access to funds in a “pending” or “withheld” status until they are cleared. The terms of the Reserve may require that a certain percentage of the amounts received into your Account are held for a certain period of time, or that a certain amount of money is held in Reserve, or anything else that we determine is necessary to protect against the risk associated with your Account. We may change the terms of the Reserve at any time by providing you with notice of the new terms.
14.6 Actions by Fazz – Blacklisting of Account and/or Non-Fazz Account
We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, blacklist your Account or Non-Fazz Account, when we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your Account and/or Non-Fazz Account, or any or all of your transactions. Our determination may be based on different factors and we may rely on information it receives from third parties. If we blacklists your Account or Non-Fazz Account, you will not be able to:
(a) receive transfers or payments (whether in XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or otherwise) into your blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account, or
(b) transfer or make payments using your funds or XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account to another Account/Non-Fazz Account.
Even if your Account has not been blacklisted, you will not be able to:
(a) receive transfers or payments (whether in XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or otherwise) from a blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account, or
(b) transfer or make payments using your funds or XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your Account to a blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account.
14.7 Actions by Fazz – Account Closure, Termination of Service, Limited Account Access; Confidential Criteria
We reserve the right to terminate this Agreement and/or access to the Fazz Services for any reason and at any time upon notice and payment to you of any unrestricted funds held in your balance. If we limit access to your Account, you may have the opportunity to request restoration of access if, in our sole and absolute discretion, we deem it appropriate. Further, you acknowledge that our decision to take certain actions, including limiting access to your Account, placing holds or imposing Reserves, may be based on confidential criteria that is essential to our management of risk, the security of Users’ Accounts and the XFERS system. You agree that we are under no obligation to disclose the details of its risk management or its security procedures to you.
14.8 Acceptable Use Policy Violations
If you violate the Acceptable Use Policy, then in addition to the above actions, you will be liable to XFERS for XFERS’ damages for each violation of the Acceptable Use Policy. You agree that $500.00 SGD (or equivalent) per transaction in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of XFERS’s actual damages considering all currently existing circumstances, including the relationship of the sum to the range of harm to XFERS that reasonably could be anticipated because due to the nature of the violations of the Acceptable Use Policy, actual damages would be impractical or extremely difficult to calculate. XFERS may deduct such damages directly from any existing balance in the offending Account, or any other Account you control.
15 DISPUTES
15.1 Disputes with other Users/Non-Fazz Account Token Holders regarding underlying transaction
If you have any disputes with other User(s) and/or Non-Fazz Account Token Holder(s) regarding the underlying transaction, you should take it up with the other User(s) and/or Non-Fazz Account Token Holder(s) (as the case may be) directly.

You shall also deal with all customer service issues, notifications, handling of refunds, and complaints made by the sending User and/or Non-Fazz Account Token Holder (or other third parties) in respect of the products/goods/assets/property (whether tangible or intangible) or services supplied by you or your end-users under the Fazz Services.

(f) Any delay in sending or receiving XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens arising from any attacks on or issues that might arise with the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchain ledgers on which XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens are stored. XFERS is neither able nor obliged to prevent or mitigate attacks or resolve any other issues that might arise with the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchains. Any such attacks or delays on the blockchains might materially delay or prevent you from sending or receiving XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, and XFERS shall not be liable for any losses that result from such issues; or
(g) Any period where XFERS may be forced to suspend all activities relating to XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens (including issuance, purchase, crediting, transfers, redemptions and/or withdrawals of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) arising from certain circumstances, including a fork of the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchain or the identification of a security issue with the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchain; or
(h) Any delay or failure in sending XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to a Non-Fazz Account arising from the Non-Fazz Account’s inability to support such Tokens, whether because it is incompatible with the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchains or otherwise.

XFERS shall not, upon giving 14 days’ notice to you of the migration, be liable for any losses that may arise if you attempt to send XFERS Tokens to a Non-Fazz Account which is incompatible with the blockchain to which the XFERS Tokens have migrated; or
(i) Any delay or failure in the redemption, purchase or withdrawal of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, or the loss of value of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or the XFERS Reserves backing the redemption / purchase of such XFERS Tokens, resulting from (i) the failure or insolvency of any bank, depository, custodian, borrower, or payment processor holding or processing the XFERS Reserves, (ii) the theft of XFERS Reserves, or (iii) freezes, seizures or other legal processes asserted by a government or a court of law.

For the avoidance of doubt, the refund of Relevant Money under a Refund Step-in Event in Clause 7 is not subject to this $500.00 SGD cap.
17.2 Services Limitation
XFERS is not a bank and the Fazz Services are payment processing services rather than banking services. XFERS is not acting as a trustee, fiduciary or escrow with respect to your funds, but is acting only as an agent and custodian. XFERS does not have control of, nor liability for, the products or services that are paid for with the Fazz Services. We do not guarantee the identity of any User and/or Non-Fazz Account Token Holder or ensure that a buyer or a seller will complete a transaction.

XFERS does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to any part of the Fazz Services, and operation of our site may be temporarily suspended for maintenance or upgrade or interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. XFERS will make reasonable efforts to ensure that requests for electronic debits and credits involving bank accounts are processed in a timely manner but XFERS makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing because the Fazz Services are dependent upon many factors outside of our control, such as delays in the banking system or mail service. XFERS also has limited or no control over the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens stored on Non-Fazz Accounts, and XFERS cannot ensure nor enforce your rights in respect of such XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens held on a Non-Fazz Account. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimers may not apply to you. This paragraph gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights that vary from country to country.
17.4 Indemnification
You shall indemnify and hold harmless XFERS and the Safeguarding Institution in respect of any and all damages, losses (including consequential losses and special damages), costs (including costs on a full indemnity basis), expenses, claims, proceedings or actions suffered or incurred by XFERS, Safeguarding Institution or any third party by reason of any breach or non-compliance by you of this Agreement or by XFERS or the Safeguarding Institution in enforcing any of the terms of this Agreement or preventing any breach thereof.
17.5 Force Majeure Event
Neither Safeguarding Institution nor XFERS nor any of their respective parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, officers, directors, agents, joint ventures, employees or suppliers shall be liable for non-performance, error, interruption or delay in the performance of their obligations under this Agreement, in the XFERS system’s operations, if this is due, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly to an event or failure which is beyond its reasonable control which includes without limitation: –

2 PAYMENT SERVICES & ELIGIBILITY
2.1 Payment Services
XFERS PTE. LTD. is a payment services provider and acts as such by creating, hosting, maintaining and providing our Fazz Services to you via the Internet. Our services allow you to send payments/transfers to anyone with an Account or a Non-Fazz Account, and, where available, to receive payments/transfers. Our service availability varies by country.
XFERS operates the following e-money or digital payment token systems: (1) where the records relating to XFERS e-money or XFERS Tokens are stored on XFERS' internal ledger, and (2) where the records relating to XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens are stored on a blockchain ledger, and such XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens are represented in the form of transferable digital tokens or stablecoins. The latter system is intended to create an open and interoperable network that would enable more flexible third-party development of new applications involving XFERS Tokens.
XFERS also provides account issuance, merchant acquisition, domestic money transfer and inward cross-border money transfer services in respect of XFERS e-money.
XFERS also allows Users to hold XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in their StraitsX Wallet(s), with such XFERS Tokens being recognised by the relevant blockchain system as being held and controlled by XFERS. XFERS will correspondingly maintain an internal ledger which records the XFERS Tokens that it holds and controls on behalf of each User.
Subject to all Applicable Laws, the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Clause 6.6 below), and any fees where applicable, XFERS undertakes to redeem / purchase from any User, one (1) XFERS Token for one (1) Singapore Dollar ("SGD") or, as the case may be, one (1) unit of such other currency that the relevant XFERS Token is denominated in or pegged to. XFERS will hold SGD and/or other currencies or assets ("XFERS Reserves") to back the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens in circulation. The composition of the XFERS Reserves used to back the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens is within the sole control and at the sole and absolute discretion of XFERS. While XFERS may hold XFERS Reserves in interest-bearing accounts or other yield-generating assets or instruments, holders of the XFERS Tokens are not entitled to any interest or other returns earned by the XFERS Reserves
XFERS is not a bank or deposit-taking company, and XFERS does not maintain any bank account or any current, savings or deposit account for Users.
XFERS is not providing the function of a settlement institution but is merely providing technology infrastructure support. All settlements are to be carried out by the Users’ bank.
XFERS is not in the business of moneylending.
XFERS is not a common carrier or public utility.
2.2 Eligibility
To be eligible to use the Fazz Services:
(a) You must be able to form legally binding contracts under Singapore law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) you must be at least 18 years old or higher; and (ii) (for corporate bodies) you must have obtained the necessary corporate and/or regulatory approvals to use such Services.
(b) You must not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting Fazz / StraitsX as a payment method. However, this does not prevent you from passing on the fees charged by Fazz / StraitsX for the Services to the User sending the payment/making the transfer, provided that you accurately communicate that you (and not XFERS) are the party charging the fees to the User. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of products/goods/assets/property or services, as long as the handling fee is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-XFERS transactions and that you accurately communicate that you (and not XFERS) are the party charging such fees.
2.3 Legal Relationship
2.3.1 The XFERS e-money issued by XFERS is regarded as "e-money" under the PSA. XFERS PTE. LTD., as the holder of a major payment institution licence, is required to ensure that the Relevant Money received by XFERS is safeguarded in a manner prescribed by MAS. In this regard, CIMB Bank Berhad Singapore Branch ("CIMB"), as a Safeguarding Institution, has undertaken to be fully liable to Users for the Relevant Money in accordance with the Payment Services Banking Service Agreement entered into between XFERS and CIMB, as may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time.
For the avoidance of doubt, CIMB does not own, operate nor manage the Account, nor is it an issuer of the Account or the XFERS e-money under the PSA. However, as a Safeguarding Institution, CIMB, in addition to XFERS, is liable for the Relevant Money in accordance with the requirements under the PSA. In addition, CIMB will not be liable for all moneys received by XFERS from or on account of any User, in exchange for the sale and/or issuance of XFERS Tokens by XFERS.
2.3.2 In providing the Services, XFERS does not act as principal but acts as facilitator on behalf of the Users to send payments/transfers to other Users or Non-Fazz Account holders via the Users’ Accounts. As such, each payment/transfer transaction is between you and the other User or Non-Fazz Account holder, where the relationship may be contractual in nature.
We do not have any control over, and are not responsible or liable for, the products/goods/assets/property (whether tangible or intangible) or services that are paid for with our Service. We cannot ensure that a buyer or a seller you are dealing with will actually complete the transaction. Accordingly, neither XFERS, CIMB, nor any of their officers, employees or agents shall be liable in any way for the products/goods/assets/property and services sold or provided by the User or Non-Fazz Account holder including any defect, damage, quality, failure or unavailability of or relating to the products/goods/assets/property purchased from or services provided by the User or Non-Fazz Account holder or for any other disputes concerning the said products/goods/assets/property or services.

The transfer of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your Non-Fazz Account is also subject to Clause 5.7 below.
Upon receiving sufficient money in exchange for the issuance of XFERS e-money / purchase of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, we will credit your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet accordingly with XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens (subject to any issuance limits, purchase limits, transfer limits and/or maximum limit(s) of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens that you can hold in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet, which we may impose pursuant to Clause 4.1 and 4.3 and Clause 8.2 respectively) and effect the transfer to the User or the Non-Fazz Account holder you wish to pay/transfer. Any amounts topped-up in excess of the issuance limits, transfer limits or which will cause the amount of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens held in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet to exceed the maximum limits may be reflected in your Temporary Holding Balance instead.
If the User or Non-Fazz Account holder does not receive the funds after the following period of time, please contact XFERS immediately:
(a) three (3) Business Days after the XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet has been debited, where you and the recipient are both in Singapore; and
(b) seven (7) Business Days after the XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet has been debited, where you are in Singapore and the recipient is outside Singapore (or in a case where the recipient is in Singapore, where you are outside Singapore).
5.6 Receiving Payments/Transfers
If you are receiving payments and/or transfers from credit card or debit card transactions on XFERS, you might be using one of our third party service providers, such as Stripe Payments Singapore Pte Ltd (“Stripe”). We may change the service providers we use any time without prior notice.
In addition to these terms, you agree to comply with the User Agreement governing your use of the services of our service providers. For instance, your use of Stripe’s services are governed by Stripe Connected Account Agreement (found here: https://stripe.com/connect/account-terms).
You agree and irrevocably authorise XFERS to collect and disclose your transaction information to such third party service providers. Your information will be used in accordance with their respective privacy policies. For instance, Stripe will handle your information in accordance with their Stripe Privacy Policy (found here: https://stripe.com/privacy).
5.7 Receiving Payments/Transfers of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from Non-Fazz Accounts
You may receive payments and/or transfers of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from Non-Fazz Accounts into your StraitsX Wallet. Where applicable, we may convert the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens that are to be paid / transferred to your Account to XFERS e-money or funds before depositing them into your Account.
We may in our sole and absolute discretion restrict or prohibit the payment and/or transfer of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from any Non-Fazz Account to a StraitsX Wallet and/or impose a limit on the amount of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens that may be transferred from any Non-Fazz Account to a StraitsX Wallet (i.e. transfer limits). We shall not be liable for any loss (direct or indirect) suffered by you or any other person due to any such transfer and/or payment restriction or prohibition imposed by us.
Your StraitsX Wallet only supports sending and receiving of XFERS Tokens and/or supported Non-XFERS Tokens. If you or any third party (including Non-Fazz Account holders) attempt to send any other virtual currency, token, digital currency, or similar digital assets (“Other Digital Assets”) into your Account, such Other Digital Assets will be lost forever. We bear no responsibility for any losses you might incur as a result of you or any third party sending Other Digital Assets to your Account.
If you have not received a payment/transfer from a Non-Fazz Account within a reasonable time, your only recourse will be to contact the payment sender/transferor, and/or the party that issues/operates (if applicable) the Non-Fazz Account. We shall not be responsible or liable for the failure of any payment/transfer made from a Non-Fazz Account.
5.8 Payment/Transfer Review
Payment/Transfer Review is a process by which we review certain potentially high-risk transactions. If a payment/transfer is subject to Payment/Transfer Review, we may place a hold on the payment/transfer and conduct a review and either clear or cancel the payment/transfer. If the payment/transfer is cleared, to the extent that the payment/transfer is made to an Fazz / StraitsX Account, the receiving User will be notified that the funds have been transferred. Otherwise, the payment/transfer will be cancelled and returned to the sending User’s Account or the sending Non-Fazz Account holder.
5.9 Risk of Reversals, Chargebacks and Claims
When you receive a payment/transfer, you are liable to us for the full amount of the payment/transfer plus any fees if the payment/transfer is later invalidated for any reason, regardless of whether such payment/transfer has been received from an Fazz / StraitsX Account or Non-Fazz Account. This means that, in addition to any other liability, you will be responsible for the amount of the payment/transfer, plus the applicable fees, as charged by us, if you lose a Claim or a Chargeback, or if there is a Reversal of the payment/transfer.
5.10 Refund or Return of Paid/Transferred Amount
If you are a receiving User wishing to return or refund the paid/transferred amount to the sending User or to the sending Non-Fazz Account holder (as the case may be), you should contact our customer support team. The return or refund amount should not exceed the original paid/transferred amount. The processing of any return or refund is in XFERS’ absolute discretion, and if a return or refund is issued, you continue to be liable for fees for the initial payment/transfer, as well as the prevailing administrative fees for effecting such a return or refund (if any).
If you are a sending User, you should contact the receiving User if you wish to get a return or refund for the paid/transferred amount. We may, in our absolute discretion, assist you in contacting the receiving User, but we shall not be under any obligation to return or refund you the paid/transferred amount.
For any payments/transfers of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to Non-Fazz Accounts, XFERS is under no obligation to entertain any request for returns or refunds from the sender of such payments/transfers made to Non-Fazz Accounts. The sender shall bear full responsibility or liability for any payment/transfer made to Non-Fazz Accounts.
5.11 No Double Recovery
You shall not attempt to or receive a return or refund for the same transaction from more than one of the following parties:
(a) a receiving User or Non-Fazz Account holder;
(b) any third party (e.g. through a chargeback claim to your bank); or
(c) XFERS (only if applicable).
6 WITHDRAWING FUNDS FROM YOUR FAZZ / STRAITSX WALLET / ACCOUNT
6.1 Withdrawing XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens to Your Bank Account
You can withdraw XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet to your Attached Bank Account at any time. If you do not use such XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet for a prolonged period, we may remind you to withdraw some or all of such XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens, or we may return such XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens to your Attached Bank Account. In the case of XFERS Tokens, the withdrawal of the XFERS Tokens will be effected through a redemption / purchase of the XFERS Tokens from you, for a corresponding amount of fiat currency, followed by the withdrawal of such fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account.
Further, you irrevocably authorise us to withdraw some or all of your funds (including XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens) in your Account (which are in excess of prevailing limits) to your Attached Bank Account.
Please note that XFERS Tokens that are stored in any Non-Fazz Account must first be transferred to XFERS' designated wallet address and credited into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet, before XFERS will redeem / purchase such XFERS Tokens from you for a corresponding amount of fiat currency, followed by the withdrawal of such fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account.
XFERS reserves the right to deal with any redeemed / purchased XFERS Tokens in its sole discretion, including but not limited to matters relating to the burning of such XFERS Tokens.
6.2 Selling/Redemption of Non-XFERS Tokens
You may instruct us to sell / redeem supported Non-XFERS Tokens in your StraitsX Wallet on your behalf, followed by the transfer of the equivalent amount of fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account.
We may use third party service providers to facilitate your sale / redemption of Non-XFERS Tokens. In connection with your sale / redemption of Non-XFERS Tokens, we are only obligated to transmit your sale / redemption instruction, and the details of your Attached Bank Account, to such third party service providers. You shall be solely responsible for ensuring that your Attached Bank Account is able to receive the appropriate fiat currency from your sale / redemption of Non-XFERS Tokens.
We have no obligation to ensure that the third party service provider transfers the equivalent amount of fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account. You shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the amount of fiat currency received in your Attached Bank Account is accurate and corresponds to the amount of Non-XFERS Tokens which you instruct us to sell, less any applicable fees. We bear no responsibility for any losses you might incur as a result of the failure of third party service providers to transfer any amount of fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account.
We have no obligation to purchase your Non-XFERS Tokens for the equivalent amount of fiat currency.
6.3 Transfer of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to your Non-Fazz Account

We shall not be liable for any loss (direct or indirect) suffered by you or any other person due to any such transfer and/or payment restriction or prohibition imposed by us.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that the Non-Fazz Account into which you are transferring XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens supports such Tokens. If you attempt to send XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your StraitsX Wallet to a Non-Fazz Account that does not support such Tokens, your XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens will be lost forever. XFERS bears no responsibility for any losses you might incur as a result of you sending XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your StraitsX Wallet to a Non-Fazz Account that does not support such Tokens.
6.4 Redemption/Withdrawal and Transfer Limits
Depending on, among other things, the degree to which you have verified your Account, we may limit your ability to redeem/withdraw your XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet to your bank account or transfer the XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet to your Non-Fazz Account (as the case may be) until you comply with our requests for information. For the avoidance of doubt, Withheld XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens placed on hold shall not be redeemed/withdrawn.

In addition, if you redeem / withdraw / transfer your XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in a currency / Token other than the currency / Token in which the balance on your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet is denominated, the prevailing exchange rate and conversion fees as stated on our website will apply.
We also reserve the right to charge you withdrawal fees for any withdrawal of the funds in your Temporary Holding Balance, Settlement Wallet or otherwise to your Attached Bank Account (whether pursuant to Clause 8.3, Clause 8.4, Clause 9.7 or otherwise).
6.6 Delays in Redemption / Purchase of XFERS Tokens
XFERS reserves the right to delay the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens by XFERS, if such delay is necessitated by the illiquidity or unavailability of any XFERS Reserves held by XFERS to back the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens in circulation.

Notice for Non-Singapore Residents: XFERS PTE. LTD. is licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore to provide e-money issuance services. Please note that this does not mean you will be able to recover all the money you paid to XFERS PTE. LTD. if XFERS PTE. LTD’s business fails.
8 YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE & REWARDS
8.1 Balances
The funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) in your Account will be reflected in your Account balance (whether in the Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet balance, Settlement Wallet balance, or Temporary Holding Balance). Each time you transact with or add funds into your Account (including where you Instruct that we issue XFERS e-money or credit XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet), you shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the balance reflected is accurate and corresponds to the amount paid or transferred to your Account, or the amount that you have provided us with in exchange for the issuance of XFERS e-money or crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet.
XFERS, and the Safeguarding Institution and their respective officers, employees and agents shall not be liable for any error or omission not drawn to their attention upon any payments or transfers to/from Fazz / StraitsX Accounts, or Instruction for issuance of XFERS e-money or crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, XFERS and the Safeguarding Institution are only liable to you in respect of the withdrawal or refund of your Relevant Money, without any interest accruing.
Additionally, XFERS’ records of all balances and transactions (including blockchain records and your Account balance) shall, save for manifest error or fraud, be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes.
This Clause 8.1 does not affect any right that you may have in respect of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens which are stored in Non-Fazz Accounts controlled by you.

Depending on, among other things, the degree to which you have verified your Account, we may limit the maximum amount of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens that you can hold in aggregate in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet.

Subject to and in accordance with our fund transfer and settlement processes and timelines (as may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time), all funds in your Settlement Wallet will be transferred to your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet and/or Attached Bank Account. You will not be able to instruct us as to how the amounts in your Settlement Wallet may be applied.
Without limiting the generality of the actions we may take under Clause 14, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, withhold some or all of your funds in your Settlement Wallet. This is to take into account the possibility that the payment or transfer of such funds received in your Settlement Wallet may be subject to a Chargeback, Reversal, Claim or be otherwise invalidated – in which case, we may reverse the payment or transfer of such funds from your Settlement Wallet.
8.4 Temporary Holding Balance
Any Instruction for issuance of XFERS e-money, crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or transfers of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet which are in excess of the issuance, purchase or transfer limits (as determined by us pursuant to Clauses 4.1, Clause 4.3 and 5.7 above) and/or maximum limits you are permitted to hold in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet (as determined by us pursuant to Clause 8.2 above) will be separately reflected in your Account as a temporary holding balance, and will not be held in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet ("Temporary Holding Balance").
You will not be able to instruct us as to how the amounts in your Temporary Holding Balance may be applied. Subject to and in accordance with our fund transfer and settlement processes and timelines (as may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time), we will effect withdrawals of the amounts in your Temporary Holding Balance to your Attached Bank Account. Where you have not specified an Attached Bank Account, we will retain the amounts in your Temporary Holding Balance until you have specified an Attached Bank Account.
8.5 Set-off of Due Amounts
You agree to allow XFERS to recover any amounts due to us by debiting your Account balance or your XFERS Credits.

Additionally, if you have a past due amount owed to a XFERS affiliate, subsidiary, or parent company, XFERS may debit your Account to pay any amounts that are more than 90 calendar days past due.
8.6 Negative Balances and Multiple Currencies
If your Account has a negative balance for any reason, you shall take all necessary actions to restore your Account to a zero or positive balance as soon as possible.
XFERS may set-off the negative balance with any funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) that you subsequently add to or receive into your Account. If you have multiple currency balances in your Account and one of the currency balances becomes negative for any reason, you irrevocably authorise XFERS to set-off the negative balance by using funds you maintain in a different currency balance by converting the said funds at the prevailing currency exchange rate as stated on our website.
If your Account still remains negative despite the set-off, you shall, as soon as possible, transfer (a) money from your bank account, debit card or credit card into XFERS’ designated bank account, or (b) XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into XFERS’ designated wallet address to bring your Account to a zero or positive balance (whether through an issuance of XFERS e-money or crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet or a transfer of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet).

In the case of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, the withdrawal of the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens will be effected through a redemption / purchase of the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from you, for a corresponding amount of fiat currency, followed by the withdrawal of such fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account.
10 INTEGRATION WITH YOUR WEBSITE, APP OR BUSINESS
10.1 Integration
We offer advanced features for Users with Merchant Accounts to start sending or accepting payments via Fazz Services by integrating certain software features into their existing website(s), app(s), software, or service(s).
Users are advised to study the developers’ documentation in the Fazz / StraitsX website and to conduct extensive testing on their websites before “going live” to accept payments or transfers from their customers using the integrated Fazz Services.
10.2 Platform Users
10.2.1 Platform Users: We enable Users to integrate Fazz Services in their platform or marketplace (referred to as “Platform Users”) to manage the payment experience of their end-users, who may be buying or selling products/goods/assets/property or services on such platforms or marketplaces. Platform Users are able to, amongst other things, create a new Fazz / StraitsX Account on behalf of their end-users, send payments, receive payments and withdraw funds from their end-user’s Account on the end-user’s behalf.
For the avoidance of doubt, as a Platform User, you do not own any of the transactions or other details related to any User’s Fazz / StraitsX Account. Your role is only as a facilitator.
10.2.2 Agreements with end-users: As a Platform User, you must have an agreement, whether written or otherwise, with your end-user on how you will be transacting with their Fazz / StraitsX Account.
You represent and warrant to Xfers that you will: (a) obtain authorisation from your end-users for all the Activity initiated on their behalf, and for the use of their data obtained through or used with the Fazz Services by you, your employees, and your agents; (b) not use the Fazz Services or knowingly permit the use of the Fazz Services in a manner that is fraudulent, unlawful, deceptive or abusive.
You must always take all reasonable steps to ensure that your end-users do not use Fazz Services in violation of these terms or for any Restricted Activity.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that each end-user using the Fazz Services expressly agrees to comply with this Terms of Service. You must ensure that these end-users agree to these terms in a manner that clearly evidences their acceptance and makes clear that XFERS is providing services to them subject to these Terms of Service. You must ensure that each end-user has an opportunity to review these Terms of Service prior to acceptance that the end-user’s acceptance is sufficient under applicable law (including by ensuring that the person agreeing on behalf of the end-user is of suitable legal age and is authorised to bind the end-user), and that such acceptance is confirmed, recorded, and can be audited.
10.2.3 Data protection: You agree to have a privacy policy in place to inform your end-users on how their personal information will be collected, used, disclosed and transferred. You will use all reasonable efforts to protect and secure the personal information of your end-users against unauthorised use or disclosure.
You will include a prominent link to your privacy policy and to our Privacy Policy (found here: https://fazz.com/sg/privacy-policy/fazz-biz/pp-sg/) in your agreement.
You will promptly inform us and your end-users where any of their personal information is accessed or disclosed in a manner or for a purpose not indicated in your privacy policy and without their consent.
10.2.4 Platform Users’ right to charge fees: As a Platform User, you may choose to charge your end-users additional fees on top of our fees. We will deduct those fees from transactions completed through your services and allocate them to your Fazz / StraitsX Account immediately.
You are solely responsible for accurately and clearly communicating in your agreement with your end-users such fees for their use of your services. You also agree to accurately and clearly communicate to us any such fees that you plan to charge to your end-users before they sign up to use your services.
10.3 Transactions with Linked Fazz / StraitsX Accounts
10.3.1 Authorised transactions and Instructions only: If you are a Platform User or Merchant Account User transacting with another User’s Account linked to your website, app, software or service, you shall ensure that you have been duly authorised or have a legal or contractual right to transact with, give Instructions, or otherwise make any deductions from these linked Users’ Accounts.
10.3.2 Responsibility for Transactions and Instructions: You are solely responsible for all transactions and Instructions you have given to us in relation to the Users’ Accounts linked to your website, app, software or service. This includes the provision of any products/goods/assets/property or services sold to such Users or your other end-users as part of your use of the Fazz Services, as well as any obligations you may owe to such Users or your other end-users. Consequently, you agree to fully indemnify us (in accordance with Clause 17.4) in relation to any such transactions or Instructions on your linked Users’ Accounts.
10.3.3 Responsibility for Chargebacks, Reversals, refunds etc.: Without limiting the generality of Clause 14.1, you are financially liable for all Chargebacks, Reversals, refunds, charges and fines for transactions or Instructions on your linked Users’ Accounts.
10.4 Non-Fazz Accounts opened by Platform Users and Merchant Account Users
Platform Users and Merchant Account Users may also open and operate Non-Fazz Accounts for their customers (“Platform/Merchant Customers”) to store XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens. The use of any such Non-Fazz Accounts by the Platform/Merchant Customers shall be subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the Platform Users and Merchant Account Users.
If you are a Platform User or Merchant Account User who has opened/opens Non-Fazz Accounts for your Platform/Merchant Customers, you hereby undertake to us to comply with all Applicable Laws, including but not limited to all anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism laws of all jurisdiction(s) that you operate in.
We may require Platform Users or Merchant Account Users to separately agree to additional terms and conditions relating to (among other matters) the purchase, sale, and use of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in the Non-Fazz Accounts operated by the Platform Users or Merchant Account Users.
10.5 Fazz / StraitsX Co-Branding
If you are a Platform User or a Merchant Account User using advanced features like our integration APIs, we may require you to feature the Fazz / StraitsX logo and branding at your payment options or payment pages or both. The exact placements and layouts of the Fazz / StraitsX logo and branding shall be discussed with and agreed on by us, and may be subject to change from time to time.
10.6 Use of Fazz / StraitsX APIs
We may make available to you Fazz / StraitsX API guides and documentation, and you shall comply with such documentation in connection with the integration and use of the APIs.
You are prohibited from interfacing with Fazz / StraitsX APIs in a way which we have stated is not permitted in the documentation.
10.7 Grant of Software Licence
If you are using Fazz / StraitsX software such as an API, developer’s toolkit or other software application that you have downloaded to your computer, device, or other platform, then we grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use our software in accordance with the documentation. This license grant includes the software and all updates, upgrades, new versions and replacement software. You may not rent, lease or otherwise transfer your rights in the software to a third party. You must comply with the implementation and use requirements contained in all Fazz / StraitsX documentation accompanying the Fazz Services. If you do not comply with our implementation and use requirements you will be liable for all resulting damages suffered by you, Fazz / StraitsX and third parties. You agree not to alter, reproduce, adapt, distribute, display, publish, reverse engineer, translate, disassemble, decompile or otherwise attempt to create any source code which is derived from the software. You acknowledge that all rights, title and interest to our software are owned by XFERS. Any third party software application you use on the Fazz / StraitsX website is subject to the license you agreed to with the third party that provides you with this software. Fazz / StraitsX does not own, control nor have any responsibility or liability for any third party software application you elect to use on the Fazz / StraitsX website and/or in connection with the Fazz Services. If you are using the Fazz Services on the Fazz / StraitsX website, or other website or platform hosted by us, or a third party, and are not downloading our software or using third party software applications on the Fazz / StraitsX website, then this Clause does not apply to your use of the hosted Fazz Services.
10.8 No Support
We do not provide technical or customer support in relation to integrating Fazz Services into your website or your business. If we do provide any support, it is purely out of goodwill and we shall not be obligated to continue or follow-up in any matter. Additionally, we shall not be liable for any losses (direct or indirect, special or consequential) that you may suffer from any support that we have provided, even if it was provided negligently.
You should consult or engage a web developer or an IT team to integrate the Fazz Services into your business.
11 CLOSING YOUR FAZZ / STRAITSX ACCOUNT
11.1 How to Close Your Fazz / StraitsX Account
You may terminate this Agreement and close your Account at any time by following the instructions in your Account profile. Upon closure of your Account, we will cancel any pending transactions and you will forfeit any special discounts or promotional credits etc., unless we are otherwise legally prohibited from doing so. You must redeem and/or withdraw your Account balance prior to closing your Account. You agree that you will continue to be responsible for all obligations related to your Account even after it is closed.
11.2 Limitations on Closing Your Account
You may not evade an investigation by closing your Account. If you close your Account while we are conducting an investigation, we may hold the funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) in your Account to protect XFERS, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates or a third party against the risk of Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability. You will remain liable for all obligations related to your Account even after the Account is closed.
12 ERRORS & UNAUTHORISED TRANSACTIONS
12.1 Safeguarding your Account ID, password and API keys
You are responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of any and all IDs, passwords, personal identification numbers (PINs), API keys, API secret keys, or any other codes that you use to access Fazz Services or to send any Instruction to us. All such codes should be protected, and you should not (a) voluntarily disclose any code to any third party, except as instructed by us for any purpose including to initiate or execute any payment/transfer transaction through your Account, (b) disclose any code in a recognisable way on your Account or any other account; or (c) keep a record of any code in a way that allows any third party to easily misuse the code.
If you keep a record of any code, you should make reasonable efforts to secure the record, including (a) keeping the record in a secure electronic or physical location accessible or known only to you, and (b) keeping the record in a place where the record is unlikely to be found by a third party.
When using a device to access your Account, you should (a) update your device's browser (e.g. Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox) to the latest version available, (b) patch the device's operating systems (e.g. Windows operating system (OS), Macintosh OS, iOS, Android OS) with regular security updates provided by the operating system provider, (c) install and maintain the latest anti-virus software on the device, where applicable, and (d) use strong passwords, such as a mixture of letters, numbers and symbols.
Where any Non-Fazz Account is opened, maintained and/or operated by you, you are responsible for maintaining security and control of any private key, password or code that you use to access your Non-Fazz Account.
12.2 Transaction Notifications
You are also responsible for enabling transaction notification alerts on any device used to receive transaction notifications from us, opting to receive all transaction notifications for all outgoing transactions (of any amount) made from your Account, and to monitor the transaction notifications sent to your primary email address and/or telephone number. We may assume that you will monitor such transaction notifications without further reminders or repeat notifications.
12.3 Unauthorised Transactions
You are responsible for the control and use of your Account and any Instructions sent from your Account are deemed to be authorised and are binding on you. As stated in Clause 9.1, we are not in the position (nor are we obligated) to verify the identity or authority of any person(s) using your Account.
If you discover a transaction in your Account that you did not authorise, you should contact us immediately as soon as practicable after discovery of the unauthorised transaction by submitting a support ticket through this this link: https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new, and provide us with all information that we may request from you (such information being any of the information set out in paragraph 3.9 of the MAS E-Payments User Protection Guidelines (effective 5 September 2020)). You may also wish to contact the other relevant party (e.g. the recipient of your XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, or the bank which the money was withdrawn to) directly to resolve the issue.
Where you are not able to report the unauthorised transaction to us as soon as you receive any transaction notification alert for any unauthorised transaction, you should provide us with reasons for the delayed report should we so request.
You undertake to make a police report where we request for you to do so.
We are not liable in respect of any unauthorised transactions on Non-Fazz Accounts. Please contact your Non-Fazz Account issuer/operator (if applicable) in respect of any unauthorised transactions on your Non-Fazz Account.
12.4 Our Errors
We will rectify any Error that we discover.
(a) If an Error results in you receiving less than the correct amount which you are entitled to, XFERS will restore your Account balance with the difference.
(b) If an Error results in you receiving more than the correct amount which you are entitled to, we will remove the extra funds from your Account balance. If the deduction results in your Account balance becoming negative, you shall add funds into your Account (in accordance with Clause 8.6 above) as soon as possible to restore your Account to a zero or positive balance.
12.5 Your Errors
12.5.1 Sending payments and transfers: If you erroneously send a payment or a transfer to the wrong party, or send a payment or transfer for the wrong amount (based on a typographical error, for example), you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. You should also make efforts to contact the party to whom you have sent the payment/make the transfer and ask them to refund the payment/transfer amount. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a payment/transfer that you have made in error.
If you erroneously transfer XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to a Non-Fazz Account, you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. You should also make efforts to contact the Non-Fazz Account holder and/or service provider (if any) who has opened, maintained and/or operated the Non-Fazz Account which the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens have been erroneously sent to. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a transaction that you have made in error.
12.5.2 Issuance of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens: If your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet does not have a sufficient balance to send the requested payment and/or transfer, you will have to Instruct us to issue XFERS e-money / credit XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet via bank transfer or alternative funding sources. If you erroneously transferred money to the wrong bank account (i.e. a bank account that is not an XFERS’ designated bank account), your only recourse will be to contact your bank and ask them to cancel the transfer. If you have transferred money successfully into the XFERS designated bank account(s) but you entered the wrong initials / transaction reference code when initiating the bank transfer, you should contact Fazz / StraitsX customer support and send the necessary screenshots and documents to prove that the transfer originated from you. We are under no obligation to credit your Account with XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens unless we are satisfied that your funds were successfully transferred into XFERS’ designated bank account(s) AND with the correct initials / transaction reference code (as generated by the XFERS system).
12.5.3 Transfer of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your StraitsX Wallet: You may transfer XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your Non-Fazz Account into your StraitsX Wallet. If you have erroneously transferred XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into a wallet address other than the StraitsX designated wallet address as specified in the payment instructions, you should contact StraitsX customer support and send the necessary screenshots and documents to prove that the transfer originated from you. We do not guarantee that we will credit your StraitsX Wallet with the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens that have been erroneously transferred to a wallet address other than the wallet address designated by StraitsX, unless StraitsX is satisfied that your XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens were successfully transferred into a wallet address controlled by StraitsX.
If your XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens were erroneously transferred from your Non-Fazz Account to another Non-Fazz Account, your only recourse is to contact the Non-Fazz Account holder and/or service provider (if any) who opened, maintained and/or operated the Non-Fazz Account which the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens have been erroneously sent to. We shall not be responsible or liable in respect of any such erroneous transfer.
12.5.4 Redemptions/Withdrawals: Following from a redemption / withdrawal of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, if due to an error on your part, the funds are erroneously withdrawn to a wrong bank account, or the wrong amount is redeemed/withdrawn (based on a typographical error, for example), you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. You should also make efforts to contact the bank to whom you sent the payment and ask them to refund the payment/transfer. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a withdrawal that you have made in error.
If you have erroneously specified an incorrect bank account as your Attached Bank Account, and a withdrawal of the funds in your Fazz / StraitsX Account to such bank account was effected by us (whether pursuant to Clause 6.1, Clause 8.3, Clause 8.4, Clause 9.7 or otherwise), you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a withdrawal that has been effected by us to such incorrect bank account.
12.5.5 Transfers of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your StraitsX Wallet: If you erroneously withdrew the funds in your StraitsX Wallet in the form of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to a Non-Fazz Account, you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. You should also make efforts to contact the service provider (if any) who has opened, maintained and/or operated the Non-Fazz Account which the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens have been erroneously sent to. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a transaction that you have made in error.
12A XFERS TOKENS
12A.1 XFERS Token Contract
You are responsible for ensuring that any XFERS Tokens that you receive and/or hold originate from the smart contract that has been developed and deployed by us in respect of the XFERS Tokens on the relevant blockchain system (each such smart contract, a "XFERS Token Contract"). You may access the list of XFERS Token Contracts on our website and/or the StraitsX website.
It is possible that a party unaffiliated with XFERS may create an alternative version of XFERS Tokens by developing and deploying a smart contract on a blockchain system, and passing off such tokens as "XFERS Tokens" ("Counterfeit XFERS Tokens")
We do not support any Counterfeit XFERS Tokens, and the provisions at Clause 5.7 which apply to Other Digital Assets will likewise apply to such Counterfeit XFERS Tokens. For the avoidance of doubt, any Counterfeit XFERS Token would not be considered as XFERS e-money, and therefore the holder(s) of such Counterfeit XFERS Tokens shall not be entitled to redeem or exchange such Counterfeit XFERS Tokens for fiat money with XFERS.
12A.2 Records of XFERS Tokens
All balances and transactions in respect of all XFERS Tokens held in a Non-Fazz Account will be determined by us based on the records stored on the relevant blockchain system, and all such determination shall, save for any fraud or manifest error in such records, be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes. In the event that we determine there is any fraud or manifest error in such records, we shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine what shall be the correct balances and transactions in respect of all XFERS Tokens (including, without limitation, all XFERS Tokens that we hold and control on behalf of Users), and all such determinations shall be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes.
Notwithstanding the above and without prejudice to Clauses 13 and 14 below, we reserve the right to blacklist any Non-Fazz Account and/or freeze any XFERS Tokens held in Non-Fazz Accounts where we, in our sole and absolute discretion, believe that such XFERS Tokens have been used for the purposes of and/or in connection with any Restricted Activity. Such XFERS Tokens which have been frozen or which are held in blacklisted Non-Fazz Accounts shall no longer be considered as XFERS Tokens, and therefore the holder(s) of such XFERS Tokens shall not be entitled to redeem or exchange such XFERS Tokens for fiat money. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, issue new XFERS Tokens in replacement for such XFERS Tokens which have been frozen or which are held in blacklisted Non-Fazz Accounts.
12A.3 Forks
As a result of the decentralised and open source nature of the XFERS Tokens, anybody may develop a patch or upgrade of the source code of the blockchain system on which records of the XFERS Tokens are stored without prior authorisation from anyone else. Accordingly, these blockchain systems can experience sudden changes in operating rules that are outside our control when a significant, but not overwhelming, percentage of the users accepts such patches or upgrades, called "forks". Consequently, this could result in the operation of two separate networks on which records of the XFERS Tokens are stored (i.e. multiple versions of the XFERS Tokens), and will remain separate until the blockchain systems are merged.
In the event of any such fork of an XFERS Token, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, determine which fork of the XFERS Token it will support, if any. We are under no obligation to support any fork of an XFERS Token. Further, we are entitled to in our sole and absolute discretion (but not obligated to) adjust your XFERS Token balance held in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet and/or adjust the records of the XFERS Tokens (by issuing and/or freezing XFERS Tokens) held by Non-Fazz Account Token Holders. Any such adjustments shall be determined by us in our sole and absolute discretion, depending on the circumstances. In doing so we will use reasonable endeavours to effect such adjustment on the basis of good faith and fairness, and where appropriate, by taking into account the records of XFERS Tokens stored (a) on the various blockchain systems, and (b) by us in our own ledger, if any.
Where we do not support any fork of an XFERS Token, XFERS Tokens which are recorded on the forked network would not be considered as XFERS Tokens, and therefore the holder(s) of such XFERS Tokens shall not be entitled to redeem or exchange such XFERS Tokens for fiat money with XFERS. This also means that we assume no responsibility for any value that might be lost as a result of any unsupported forks of any XFERS Token.
In the event of a fork of an XFERS Token, we may suspend some or all activities relating to the XFERS Token (including, without limitation, issuance, redemption, purchase, sending and/or receiving of XFERS Tokens) for an extended period of time ("Downtime") During this period of Downtime, you will not be able to Instruct us to issue XFERS Tokens, nor redeem, purchase, withdraw, send or receive XFERS Tokens.
You agree that we are not responsible or liable to you for any losses or damages, including lost profits, which may occur as a result of a fork, Downtime, or our determination to support or to not support any particular fork.
12A.4 Updates, Upgrades and Migration of XFERS Tokens
We may from time to time undertake an update or upgrade to the XFERS Tokens, or migrate the XFERS Tokens to a new blockchain system. If you decide not to participate in such an update, upgrade or migration, you may no longer be able to use your XFERS Tokens, although you may still redeem and withdraw the non-updated/upgraded/migrated XFERS Tokens with XFERS in accordance with Clause 6.1 above, subject to any additional terms that we may impose on such redemption and/or withdrawal of non-updated/upgraded/migrated XFERS Tokens in our sole and absolute discretion. You agree that we are not responsible or liable to you for any losses or damages, including lost profits, caused directly or indirectly by your failure to participate in any update, upgrade or migration of XFERS Tokens.

14.3 Actions by Fazz – Restricted Activities
If we, in our sole and absolute discretion, believe that you may have engaged in any Restricted Activities, we may take various actions to protect XFERS, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, other Users, other third parties or you from Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and any other liability.

14.4 Actions by Fazz – Holds
Risk-based holds: We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, place a hold on any or all of the payments/transfers you receive/send when we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your Account, or any or all of your transactions. Our determination may be based on different factors and we may rely on information it receives from third parties. If we place a hold on a payment/transfer, the funds will appear in your “withheld balance” and the payment/transfer status will indicate the hold, for example it can show as “Completed – Funds not yet available.” We will release the hold on any payment/transfer after 30 calendar days from the date the payment/transfer was received into your Account unless we have a reason to continue to hold the payment such as (a) the receipt of a dispute, Claim, Chargeback, or Reversal, (b) we believe that you have violated the terms of this Agreement or any other Policy and that such a violation results in the need to continue holding the funds, or (c) we believe that you may be engaging in potentially fraudulent or suspicious activity and/or transactions. In such an event, we may continue holding the payment/transfer in your Account until the matter is resolved pursuant to this Agreement. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, release the hold earlier under certain circumstances, for example when you upload tracking information of the item you shipped or when the paying User confirms that you have delivered the goods or services promised.
Disputed transaction holds: If a User files a dispute, Claim, Chargeback or Reversal on a payment you received, we may place a temporary hold on the funds in your Account to cover the amount of the liability. If you win the dispute, we will lift the temporary hold. If you lose the dispute, we will remove the funds from your Account.
14.5 Actions by Fazz – Reserves
We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, place a Reserve on funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) held in your Account where we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with your Account. If we place a Reserve in your Account, transactions will be shown as “pending” or “withheld” in your Account balance, and you will not have access to funds in a “pending” or “withheld” status until they are cleared. The terms of the Reserve may require that a certain percentage of the amounts received into your Account are held for a certain period of time, or that a certain amount of money is held in Reserve, or anything else that we determine is necessary to protect against the risk associated with your Account. We may change the terms of the Reserve at any time by providing you with notice of the new terms.
14.6 Actions by Fazz – Blacklisting of Account and/or Non-Fazz Account
We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, blacklist your Account or Non-Fazz Account, when we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your Account and/or Non-Fazz Account, or any or all of your transactions. Our determination may be based on different factors and we may rely on information it receives from third parties. If we blacklists your Account or Non-Fazz Account, you will not be able to:
(a) receive transfers or payments (whether in XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or otherwise) into your blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account, or
(b) transfer or make payments using your funds or XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account to another Account/Non-Fazz Account.
Even if your Account has not been blacklisted, you will not be able to:
(a) receive transfers or payments (whether in XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or otherwise) from a blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account, or
(b) transfer or make payments using your funds or XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your Account to a blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account.
14.7 Actions by Fazz – Account Closure, Termination of Service, Limited Account Access; Confidential Criteria
We reserve the right to terminate this Agreement and/or access to the Fazz Services for any reason and at any time upon notice and payment to you of any unrestricted funds held in your balance. If we limit access to your Account, you may have the opportunity to request restoration of access if, in our sole and absolute discretion, we deem it appropriate. Further, you acknowledge that our decision to take certain actions, including limiting access to your Account, placing holds or imposing Reserves, may be based on confidential criteria that is essential to our management of risk, the security of Users’ Accounts and the XFERS system. You agree that we are under no obligation to disclose the details of its risk management or its security procedures to you.
14.8 Acceptable Use Policy Violations
If you violate the Acceptable Use Policy, then in addition to the above actions, you will be liable to XFERS for XFERS’ damages for each violation of the Acceptable Use Policy. You agree that $500.00 SGD (or equivalent) per transaction in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of XFERS’s actual damages considering all currently existing circumstances, including the relationship of the sum to the range of harm to XFERS that reasonably could be anticipated because due to the nature of the violations of the Acceptable Use Policy, actual damages would be impractical or extremely difficult to calculate. XFERS may deduct such damages directly from any existing balance in the offending Account, or any other Account you control.

XFERS is neither able nor obliged to prevent or mitigate attacks or resolve any other issues that might arise with the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchains. Any such attacks or delays on the blockchains might materially delay or prevent you from sending or receiving XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, and XFERS shall not be liable for any losses that result from such issues; or
(g) Any period where XFERS may be forced to suspend all activities relating to XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens (including issuance, purchase, crediting, transfers, redemptions and/or withdrawals of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) arising from certain circumstances, including a fork of the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchain or the identification of a security issue with the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchain; or
(h) Any delay or failure in sending XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to a Non-Fazz Account arising from the Non-Fazz Account’s inability to support such Tokens, whether because it is incompatible with the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchains or otherwise.

(i) Any delay or failure in the redemption, purchase or withdrawal of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, or the loss of value of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or the XFERS Reserves backing the redemption / purchase of such XFERS Tokens, resulting from (i) the failure or insolvency of any bank, depository, custodian, borrower, or payment processor holding or processing the XFERS Reserves, (ii) the theft of XFERS Reserves, or (iii) freezes, seizures or other legal processes asserted by a government or a court of law.

17.2 Services Limitation
XFERS is not a bank and the Fazz Services are payment processing services rather than banking services. XFERS is not acting as a trustee, fiduciary or escrow with respect to your funds, but is acting only as an agent and custodian. XFERS does not have control of, nor liability for, the products or services that are paid for with the Fazz Services. We do not guarantee the identity of any User and/or Non-Fazz Account Token Holder or ensure that a buyer or a seller will complete a transaction.

XFERS does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to any part of the Fazz Services, and operation of our site may be temporarily suspended for maintenance or upgrade or interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. XFERS will make reasonable efforts to ensure that requests for electronic debits and credits involving bank accounts are processed in a timely manner but XFERS makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing because the Fazz Services are dependent upon many factors outside of our control, such as delays in the banking system or mail service. XFERS also has limited or no control over the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens stored on Non-Fazz Accounts, and XFERS cannot ensure nor enforce your rights in respect of such XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens held on a Non-Fazz Account. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimers may not apply to you. This paragraph gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights that vary from country to country.

2 PAYMENT SERVICES & ELIGIBILITY
2.1 Payment Services
XFERS PTE. LTD. is a payment services provider and acts as such by creating, hosting, maintaining and providing our Fazz Services to you via the Internet. Our services allow you to send payments/transfers to anyone with an Account or a Non-Fazz Account, and, where available, to receive payments/transfers. Our service availability varies by country.
XFERS operates the following e-money or digital payment token systems: (1) where the records relating to XFERS e-money or XFERS Tokens are stored on XFERS' internal ledger, and (2) where the records relating to XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens are stored on a blockchain ledger, and such XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens are represented in the form of transferable digital tokens or stablecoins. The latter system is intended to create an open and interoperable network that would enable more flexible third-party development of new applications involving XFERS Tokens.
XFERS also provides account issuance, merchant acquisition, domestic money transfer and inward cross-border money transfer services in respect of XFERS e-money.
XFERS also allows Users to hold XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in their StraitsX Wallet(s), with such XFERS Tokens being recognised by the relevant blockchain system as being held and controlled by XFERS. XFERS will correspondingly maintain an internal ledger which records the XFERS Tokens that it holds and controls on behalf of each User.
Subject to all Applicable Laws, the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Clause 6.6 below), and any fees where applicable, XFERS undertakes to redeem / purchase from any User, one (1) XFERS Token for one (1) Singapore Dollar ("SGD") or, as the case may be, one (1) unit of such other currency that the relevant XFERS Token is denominated in or pegged to. XFERS will hold SGD and/or other currencies or assets ("XFERS Reserves") to back the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens in circulation. The composition of the XFERS Reserves used to back the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens is within the sole control and at the sole and absolute discretion of XFERS. While XFERS may hold XFERS Reserves in interest-bearing accounts or other yield-generating assets or instruments, holders of the XFERS Tokens are not entitled to any interest or other returns earned by the XFERS Reserves
XFERS is not a bank or deposit-taking company, and XFERS does not maintain any bank account or any current, savings or deposit account for Users.
XFERS is not providing the function of a settlement institution but is merely providing technology infrastructure support. All settlements are to be carried out by the Users’ bank.
XFERS is not in the business of moneylending.
XFERS is not a common carrier or public utility.
2.2 Eligibility
To be eligible to use the Fazz Services:
(a) You must be able to form legally binding contracts under Singapore law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) you must be at least 18 years old or higher; and (ii) (for corporate bodies) you must have obtained the necessary corporate and/or regulatory approvals to use such Services.
(b) You must not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting Fazz / StraitsX as a payment method. However, this does not prevent you from passing on the fees charged by Fazz / StraitsX for the Services to the User sending the payment/making the transfer, provided that you accurately communicate that you (and not XFERS) are the party charging the fees to the User. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of products/goods/assets/property or services, as long as the handling fee is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-XFERS transactions and that you accurately communicate that you (and not XFERS) are the party charging such fees.
2.3 Legal Relationship
2.3.1 The XFERS e-money issued by XFERS is regarded as "e-money" under the PSA. XFERS PTE. LTD., as the holder of a major payment institution licence, is required to ensure that the Relevant Money received by XFERS is safeguarded in a manner prescribed by MAS. In this regard, CIMB Bank Berhad Singapore Branch ("CIMB"), as a Safeguarding Institution, has undertaken to be fully liable to Users for the Relevant Money in accordance with the Payment Services Banking Service Agreement entered into between XFERS and CIMB, as may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time.
For the avoidance of doubt, CIMB does not own, operate nor manage the Account, nor is it an issuer of the Account or the XFERS e-money under the PSA. However, as a Safeguarding Institution, CIMB, in addition to XFERS, is liable for the Relevant Money in accordance with the requirements under the PSA. In addition, CIMB will not be liable for all moneys received by XFERS from or on account of any User, in exchange for the sale and/or issuance of XFERS Tokens by XFERS.
2.3.2 In providing the Services, XFERS does not act as principal but acts as facilitator on behalf of the Users to send payments/transfers to other Users or Non-Fazz Account holders via the Users’ Accounts. As such, each payment/transfer transaction is between you and the other User or Non-Fazz Account holder, where the relationship may be contractual in nature.
We do not have any control over, and are not responsible or liable for, the products/goods/assets/property (whether tangible or intangible) or services that are paid for with our Service. We cannot ensure that a buyer or a seller you are dealing with will actually complete the transaction. Accordingly, neither XFERS, CIMB, nor any of their officers, employees or agents shall be liable in any way for the products/goods/assets/property and services sold or provided by the User or Non-Fazz Account holder including any defect, damage, quality, failure or unavailability of or relating to the products/goods/assets/property purchased from or services provided by the User or Non-Fazz Account holder or for any other disputes concerning the said products/goods/assets/property or services.

If you have not received a payment/transfer from a Non-Fazz Account within a reasonable time, your only recourse will be to contact the payment sender/transferor, and/or the party that issues/operates (if applicable) the Non-Fazz Account. We shall not be responsible or liable for the failure of any payment/transfer made from a Non-Fazz Account.
5.8 Payment/Transfer Review
Payment/Transfer Review is a process by which we review certain potentially high-risk transactions. If a payment/transfer is subject to Payment/Transfer Review, we may place a hold on the payment/transfer and conduct a review and either clear or cancel the payment/transfer. If the payment/transfer is cleared, to the extent that the payment/transfer is made to an Fazz / StraitsX Account, the receiving User will be notified that the funds have been transferred. Otherwise, the payment/transfer will be cancelled and returned to the sending User’s Account or the sending Non-Fazz Account holder.
5.9 Risk of Reversals, Chargebacks and Claims
When you receive a payment/transfer, you are liable to us for the full amount of the payment/transfer plus any fees if the payment/transfer is later invalidated for any reason, regardless of whether such payment/transfer has been received from an Fazz / StraitsX Account or Non-Fazz Account. This means that, in addition to any other liability, you will be responsible for the amount of the payment/transfer, plus the applicable fees, as charged by us, if you lose a Claim or a Chargeback, or if there is a Reversal of the payment/transfer.
5.10 Refund or Return of Paid/Transferred Amount
If you are a receiving User wishing to return or refund the paid/transferred amount to the sending User or to the sending Non-Fazz Account holder (as the case may be), you should contact our customer support team. The return or refund amount should not exceed the original paid/transferred amount. The processing of any return or refund is in XFERS’ absolute discretion, and if a return or refund is issued, you continue to be liable for fees for the initial payment/transfer, as well as the prevailing administrative fees for effecting such a return or refund (if any).
If you are a sending User, you should contact the receiving User if you wish to get a return or refund for the paid/transferred amount. We may, in our absolute discretion, assist you in contacting the receiving User, but we shall not be under any obligation to return or refund you the paid/transferred amount.
For any payments/transfers of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to Non-Fazz Accounts, XFERS is under no obligation to entertain any request for returns or refunds from the sender of such payments/transfers made to Non-Fazz Accounts. The sender shall bear full responsibility or liability for any payment/transfer made to Non-Fazz Accounts.
5.11 No Double Recovery
You shall not attempt to or receive a return or refund for the same transaction from more than one of the following parties:
(a) a receiving User or Non-Fazz Account holder;
(b) any third party (e.g. through a chargeback claim to your bank); or
(c) XFERS (only if applicable).
6 WITHDRAWING FUNDS FROM YOUR FAZZ / STRAITSX WALLET / ACCOUNT
6.1 Withdrawing XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens to Your Bank Account
You can withdraw XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet to your Attached Bank Account at any time. If you do not use such XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet for a prolonged period, we may remind you to withdraw some or all of such XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens, or we may return such XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens to your Attached Bank Account. In the case of XFERS Tokens, the withdrawal of the XFERS Tokens will be effected through a redemption / purchase of the XFERS Tokens from you, for a corresponding amount of fiat currency, followed by the withdrawal of such fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account.
Further, you irrevocably authorise us to withdraw some or all of your funds (including XFERS e-money / XFERS Tokens) in your Account (which are in excess of prevailing limits) to your Attached Bank Account.
Please note that XFERS Tokens that are stored in any Non-Fazz Account must first be transferred to XFERS' designated wallet address and credited into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet, before XFERS will redeem / purchase such XFERS Tokens from you for a corresponding amount of fiat currency, followed by the withdrawal of such fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account.
XFERS reserves the right to deal with any redeemed / purchased XFERS Tokens in its sole discretion, including but not limited to matters relating to the burning of such XFERS Tokens.
6.2 Selling/Redemption of Non-XFERS Tokens
You may instruct us to sell / redeem supported Non-XFERS Tokens in your StraitsX Wallet on your behalf, followed by the transfer of the equivalent amount of fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account.
We may use third party service providers to facilitate your sale / redemption of Non-XFERS Tokens. In connection with your sale / redemption of Non-XFERS Tokens, we are only obligated to transmit your sale / redemption instruction, and the details of your Attached Bank Account, to such third party service providers. You shall be solely responsible for ensuring that your Attached Bank Account is able to receive the appropriate fiat currency from your sale / redemption of Non-XFERS Tokens.
We have no obligation to ensure that the third party service provider transfers the equivalent amount of fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account. You shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the amount of fiat currency received in your Attached Bank Account is accurate and corresponds to the amount of Non-XFERS Tokens which you instruct us to sell, less any applicable fees. We bear no responsibility for any losses you might incur as a result of the failure of third party service providers to transfer any amount of fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account.
We have no obligation to purchase your Non-XFERS Tokens for the equivalent amount of fiat currency.
6.3 Transfer of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to your Non-Fazz Account

We shall not be liable for any loss (direct or indirect) suffered by you or any other person due to any such transfer and/or payment restriction or prohibition imposed by us.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that the Non-Fazz Account into which you are transferring XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens supports such Tokens. If you attempt to send XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your StraitsX Wallet to a Non-Fazz Account that does not support such Tokens, your XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens will be lost forever. XFERS bears no responsibility for any losses you might incur as a result of you sending XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your StraitsX Wallet to a Non-Fazz Account that does not support such Tokens.
6.4 Redemption/Withdrawal and Transfer Limits
Depending on, among other things, the degree to which you have verified your Account, we may limit your ability to redeem/withdraw your XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet to your bank account or transfer the XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet to your Non-Fazz Account (as the case may be) until you comply with our requests for information. For the avoidance of doubt, Withheld XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens placed on hold shall not be redeemed/withdrawn.

When redeeming / withdrawing / transferring the XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet (whether pursuant to this Clause 6 or otherwise), you will be charged the prevailing redemption / withdrawal / transfer fees. The fees for redemption / withdrawal / transfer will depend on the method of redemption / withdrawal / transfer you choose. In addition, if you redeem / withdraw / transfer your XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in a currency / Token other than the currency / Token in which the balance on your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet is denominated, the prevailing exchange rate and conversion fees as stated on our website will apply.
We also reserve the right to charge you withdrawal fees for any withdrawal of the funds in your Temporary Holding Balance, Settlement Wallet or otherwise to your Attached Bank Account (whether pursuant to Clause 8.3, Clause 8.4, Clause 9.7 or otherwise).
6.6 Delays in Redemption / Purchase of XFERS Tokens
XFERS reserves the right to delay the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens by XFERS, if such delay is necessitated by the illiquidity or unavailability of any XFERS Reserves held by XFERS to back the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens in circulation. XFERS also reserves the right to redeem / purchase XFERS Tokens using other currencies or assets other than the currency in which the relevant XFERS Token is denominated in or pegged to.

Notice for Non-Singapore Residents: XFERS PTE. LTD. is licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore to provide e-money issuance services. Please note that this does not mean you will be able to recover all the money you paid to XFERS PTE. LTD. if XFERS PTE. LTD’s business fails.
8 YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE & REWARDS
8.1 Balances
The funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) in your Account will be reflected in your Account balance (whether in the Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet balance, Settlement Wallet balance, or Temporary Holding Balance). Each time you transact with or add funds into your Account (including where you Instruct that we issue XFERS e-money or credit XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet), you shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the balance reflected is accurate and corresponds to the amount paid or transferred to your Account, or the amount that you have provided us with in exchange for the issuance of XFERS e-money or crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet.
XFERS, and the Safeguarding Institution and their respective officers, employees and agents shall not be liable for any error or omission not drawn to their attention upon any payments or transfers to/from Fazz / StraitsX Accounts, or Instruction for issuance of XFERS e-money or crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, XFERS and the Safeguarding Institution are only liable to you in respect of the withdrawal or refund of your Relevant Money, without any interest accruing.
Additionally, XFERS’ records of all balances and transactions (including blockchain records and your Account balance) shall, save for manifest error or fraud, be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes.
This Clause 8.1 does not affect any right that you may have in respect of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens which are stored in Non-Fazz Accounts controlled by you.
8.2 Maximum Limits
Depending on, among other things, the degree to which you have verified your Account, we may limit the maximum amount of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens that you can hold in aggregate in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet. Additionally, we may impose separate maximum limits based on our prevailing operational thresholds.

When opening an Account, we may also open a wallet for you in which you may receive funds from your sale of goods or provision of services, in connection with our provision of merchant acquisition services ("Settlement Wallet").
Subject to and in accordance with our fund transfer and settlement processes and timelines (as may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time), all funds in your Settlement Wallet will be transferred to your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet and/or Attached Bank Account. You will not be able to instruct us as to how the amounts in your Settlement Wallet may be applied.
Without limiting the generality of the actions we may take under Clause 14, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, withhold some or all of your funds in your Settlement Wallet. This is to take into account the possibility that the payment or transfer of such funds received in your Settlement Wallet may be subject to a Chargeback, Reversal, Claim or be otherwise invalidated – in which case, we may reverse the payment or transfer of such funds from your Settlement Wallet.
8.4 Temporary Holding Balance
Any Instruction for issuance of XFERS e-money, crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or transfers of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet which are in excess of the issuance, purchase or transfer limits (as determined by us pursuant to Clauses 4.1, Clause 4.3 and 5.7 above) and/or maximum limits you are permitted to hold in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet (as determined by us pursuant to Clause 8.2 above) will be separately reflected in your Account as a temporary holding balance, and will not be held in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet ("Temporary Holding Balance").
You will not be able to instruct us as to how the amounts in your Temporary Holding Balance may be applied. Subject to and in accordance with our fund transfer and settlement processes and timelines (as may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time), we will effect withdrawals of the amounts in your Temporary Holding Balance to your Attached Bank Account. Where you have not specified an Attached Bank Account, we will retain the amounts in your Temporary Holding Balance until you have specified an Attached Bank Account.
8.5 Set-off of Due Amounts
You agree to allow XFERS to recover any amounts due to us by debiting your Account balance or your XFERS Credits.

Additionally, if you have a past due amount owed to a XFERS affiliate, subsidiary, or parent company, XFERS may debit your Account to pay any amounts that are more than 90 calendar days past due.
8.6 Negative Balances and Multiple Currencies
If your Account has a negative balance for any reason, you shall take all necessary actions to restore your Account to a zero or positive balance as soon as possible.
XFERS may set-off the negative balance with any funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) that you subsequently add to or receive into your Account. If you have multiple currency balances in your Account and one of the currency balances becomes negative for any reason, you irrevocably authorise XFERS to set-off the negative balance by using funds you maintain in a different currency balance by converting the said funds at the prevailing currency exchange rate as stated on our website.
If your Account still remains negative despite the set-off, you shall, as soon as possible, transfer (a) money from your bank account, debit card or credit card into XFERS’ designated bank account, or (b) XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into XFERS’ designated wallet address to bring your Account to a zero or positive balance (whether through an issuance of XFERS e-money or crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet or a transfer of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet).

12 ERRORS & UNAUTHORISED TRANSACTIONS
12.1 Safeguarding your Account ID, password and API keys
You are responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of any and all IDs, passwords, personal identification numbers (PINs), API keys, API secret keys, or any other codes that you use to access Fazz Services or to send any Instruction to us. All such codes should be protected, and you should not (a) voluntarily disclose any code to any third party, except as instructed by us for any purpose including to initiate or execute any payment/transfer transaction through your Account, (b) disclose any code in a recognisable way on your Account or any other account; or (c) keep a record of any code in a way that allows any third party to easily misuse the code.
If you keep a record of any code, you should make reasonable efforts to secure the record, including (a) keeping the record in a secure electronic or physical location accessible or known only to you, and (b) keeping the record in a place where the record is unlikely to be found by a third party.
When using a device to access your Account, you should (a) update your device's browser (e.g. Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox) to the latest version available, (b) patch the device's operating systems (e.g. Windows operating system (OS), Macintosh OS, iOS, Android OS) with regular security updates provided by the operating system provider, (c) install and maintain the latest anti-virus software on the device, where applicable, and (d) use strong passwords, such as a mixture of letters, numbers and symbols.
Where any Non-Fazz Account is opened, maintained and/or operated by you, you are responsible for maintaining security and control of any private key, password or code that you use to access your Non-Fazz Account.
12.2 Transaction Notifications
You are also responsible for enabling transaction notification alerts on any device used to receive transaction notifications from us, opting to receive all transaction notifications for all outgoing transactions (of any amount) made from your Account, and to monitor the transaction notifications sent to your primary email address and/or telephone number. We may assume that you will monitor such transaction notifications without further reminders or repeat notifications.
12.3 Unauthorised Transactions
You are responsible for the control and use of your Account and any Instructions sent from your Account are deemed to be authorised and are binding on you. As stated in Clause 9.1, we are not in the position (nor are we obligated) to verify the identity or authority of any person(s) using your Account.
If you discover a transaction in your Account that you did not authorise, you should contact us immediately as soon as practicable after discovery of the unauthorised transaction by submitting a support ticket through this this link: https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new, and provide us with all information that we may request from you (such information being any of the information set out in paragraph 3.9 of the MAS E-Payments User Protection Guidelines (effective 5 September 2020)). You may also wish to contact the other relevant party (e.g. the recipient of your XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, or the bank which the money was withdrawn to) directly to resolve the issue.
Where you are not able to report the unauthorised transaction to us as soon as you receive any transaction notification alert for any unauthorised transaction, you should provide us with reasons for the delayed report should we so request.
You undertake to make a police report where we request for you to do so.
We are not liable in respect of any unauthorised transactions on Non-Fazz Accounts. Please contact your Non-Fazz Account issuer/operator (if applicable) in respect of any unauthorised transactions on your Non-Fazz Account.
12.4 Our Errors
We will rectify any Error that we discover.
(a) If an Error results in you receiving less than the correct amount which you are entitled to, XFERS will restore your Account balance with the difference.
(b) If an Error results in you receiving more than the correct amount which you are entitled to, we will remove the extra funds from your Account balance. If the deduction results in your Account balance becoming negative, you shall add funds into your Account (in accordance with Clause 8.6 above) as soon as possible to restore your Account to a zero or positive balance.
12.5 Your Errors
12.5.1 Sending payments and transfers: If you erroneously send a payment or a transfer to the wrong party, or send a payment or transfer for the wrong amount (based on a typographical error, for example), you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. You should also make efforts to contact the party to whom you have sent the payment/make the transfer and ask them to refund the payment/transfer amount. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a payment/transfer that you have made in error.
If you erroneously transfer XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to a Non-Fazz Account, you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. You should also make efforts to contact the Non-Fazz Account holder and/or service provider (if any) who has opened, maintained and/or operated the Non-Fazz Account which the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens have been erroneously sent to. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a transaction that you have made in error.
12.5.2 Issuance of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens: If your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet does not have a sufficient balance to send the requested payment and/or transfer, you will have to Instruct us to issue XFERS e-money / credit XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet via bank transfer or alternative funding sources. If you erroneously transferred money to the wrong bank account (i.e. a bank account that is not an XFERS’ designated bank account), your only recourse will be to contact your bank and ask them to cancel the transfer. If you have transferred money successfully into the XFERS designated bank account(s) but you entered the wrong initials / transaction reference code when initiating the bank transfer, you should contact Fazz / StraitsX customer support and send the necessary screenshots and documents to prove that the transfer originated from you. We are under no obligation to credit your Account with XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens unless we are satisfied that your funds were successfully transferred into XFERS’ designated bank account(s) AND with the correct initials / transaction reference code (as generated by the XFERS system).
12.5.3 Transfer of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your StraitsX Wallet: You may transfer XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your Non-Fazz Account into your StraitsX Wallet. If you have erroneously transferred XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into a wallet address other than the StraitsX designated wallet address as specified in the payment instructions, you should contact StraitsX customer support and send the necessary screenshots and documents to prove that the transfer originated from you. We do not guarantee that we will credit your StraitsX Wallet with the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens that have been erroneously transferred to a wallet address other than the wallet address designated by StraitsX, unless StraitsX is satisfied that your XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens were successfully transferred into a wallet address controlled by StraitsX.
If your XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens were erroneously transferred from your Non-Fazz Account to another Non-Fazz Account, your only recourse is to contact the Non-Fazz Account holder and/or service provider (if any) who opened, maintained and/or operated the Non-Fazz Account which the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens have been erroneously sent to. We shall not be responsible or liable in respect of any such erroneous transfer.
12.5.4 Redemptions/Withdrawals: Following from a redemption / withdrawal of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, if due to an error on your part, the funds are erroneously withdrawn to a wrong bank account, or the wrong amount is redeemed/withdrawn (based on a typographical error, for example), you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. You should also make efforts to contact the bank to whom you sent the payment and ask them to refund the payment/transfer. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a withdrawal that you have made in error.
If you have erroneously specified an incorrect bank account as your Attached Bank Account, and a withdrawal of the funds in your Fazz / StraitsX Account to such bank account was effected by us (whether pursuant to Clause 6.1, Clause 8.3, Clause 8.4, Clause 9.7 or otherwise), you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error.

You should also make efforts to contact the service provider (if any) who has opened, maintained and/or operated the Non-Fazz Account which the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens have been erroneously sent to. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a transaction that you have made in error.
12A XFERS TOKENS
12A.1 XFERS Token Contract
You are responsible for ensuring that any XFERS Tokens that you receive and/or hold originate from the smart contract that has been developed and deployed by us in respect of the XFERS Tokens on the relevant blockchain system (each such smart contract, a "XFERS Token Contract"). You may access the list of XFERS Token Contracts on our website and/or the StraitsX website.
It is possible that a party unaffiliated with XFERS may create an alternative version of XFERS Tokens by developing and deploying a smart contract on a blockchain system, and passing off such tokens as "XFERS Tokens" ("Counterfeit XFERS Tokens")
We do not support any Counterfeit XFERS Tokens, and the provisions at Clause 5.7 which apply to Other Digital Assets will likewise apply to such Counterfeit XFERS Tokens. For the avoidance of doubt, any Counterfeit XFERS Token would not be considered as XFERS e-money, and therefore the holder(s) of such Counterfeit XFERS Tokens shall not be entitled to redeem or exchange such Counterfeit XFERS Tokens for fiat money with XFERS.
12A.2 Records of XFERS Tokens
All balances and transactions in respect of all XFERS Tokens held in a Non-Fazz Account will be determined by us based on the records stored on the relevant blockchain system, and all such determination shall, save for any fraud or manifest error in such records, be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes. In the event that we determine there is any fraud or manifest error in such records, we shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine what shall be the correct balances and transactions in respect of all XFERS Tokens (including, without limitation, all XFERS Tokens that we hold and control on behalf of Users), and all such determinations shall be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes.
Notwithstanding the above and without prejudice to Clauses 13 and 14 below, we reserve the right to blacklist any Non-Fazz Account and/or freeze any XFERS Tokens held in Non-Fazz Accounts where we, in our sole and absolute discretion, believe that such XFERS Tokens have been used for the purposes of and/or in connection with any Restricted Activity. Such XFERS Tokens which have been frozen or which are held in blacklisted Non-Fazz Accounts shall no longer be considered as XFERS Tokens, and therefore the holder(s) of such XFERS Tokens shall not be entitled to redeem or exchange such XFERS Tokens for fiat money. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, issue new XFERS Tokens in replacement for such XFERS Tokens which have been frozen or which are held in blacklisted Non-Fazz Accounts.
12A.3 Forks
As a result of the decentralised and open source nature of the XFERS Tokens, anybody may develop a patch or upgrade of the source code of the blockchain system on which records of the XFERS Tokens are stored without prior authorisation from anyone else. Accordingly, these blockchain systems can experience sudden changes in operating rules that are outside our control when a significant, but not overwhelming, percentage of the users accepts such patches or upgrades, called "forks". Consequently, this could result in the operation of two separate networks on which records of the XFERS Tokens are stored (i.e. multiple versions of the XFERS Tokens), and will remain separate until the blockchain systems are merged.
In the event of any such fork of an XFERS Token, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, determine which fork of the XFERS Token it will support, if any. We are under no obligation to support any fork of an XFERS Token. Further, we are entitled to in our sole and absolute discretion (but not obligated to) adjust your XFERS Token balance held in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet and/or adjust the records of the XFERS Tokens (by issuing and/or freezing XFERS Tokens) held by Non-Fazz Account Token Holders. Any such adjustments shall be determined by us in our sole and absolute discretion, depending on the circumstances. In doing so we will use reasonable endeavours to effect such adjustment on the basis of good faith and fairness, and where appropriate, by taking into account the records of XFERS Tokens stored (a) on the various blockchain systems, and (b) by us in our own ledger, if any.
Where we do not support any fork of an XFERS Token, XFERS Tokens which are recorded on the forked network would not be considered as XFERS Tokens, and therefore the holder(s) of such XFERS Tokens shall not be entitled to redeem or exchange such XFERS Tokens for fiat money with XFERS. This also means that we assume no responsibility for any value that might be lost as a result of any unsupported forks of any XFERS Token.
In the event of a fork of an XFERS Token, we may suspend some or all activities relating to the XFERS Token (including, without limitation, issuance, redemption, purchase, sending and/or receiving of XFERS Tokens) for an extended period of time ("Downtime") During this period of Downtime, you will not be able to Instruct us to issue XFERS Tokens, nor redeem, purchase, withdraw, send or receive XFERS Tokens.
You agree that we are not responsible or liable to you for any losses or damages, including lost profits, which may occur as a result of a fork, Downtime, or our determination to support or to not support any particular fork.
12A.4 Updates, Upgrades and Migration of XFERS Tokens
We may from time to time undertake an update or upgrade to the XFERS Tokens, or migrate the XFERS Tokens to a new blockchain system. If you decide not to participate in such an update, upgrade or migration, you may no longer be able to use your XFERS Tokens, although you may still redeem and withdraw the non-updated/upgraded/migrated XFERS Tokens with XFERS in accordance with Clause 6.1 above, subject to any additional terms that we may impose on such redemption and/or withdrawal of non-updated/upgraded/migrated XFERS Tokens in our sole and absolute discretion. You agree that we are not responsible or liable to you for any losses or damages, including lost profits, caused directly or indirectly by your failure to participate in any update, upgrade or migration of XFERS Tokens.

You are responsible for all Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability incurred by us, a User, or a third party caused by or arising out of your breach of this Agreement, and/or your use of the Fazz Services. You agree to reimburse us, a User, or a third party for any and all such liability.
You are also liable for using the services of our third party service providers in a manner prohibited by them in their agreement with you, or providing inaccurate or incomplete information while using their service.
14.2 Reimbursement for Your Liability
If you are liable for any amounts owed to us, we may immediately remove such amounts from your XFERS Credit and your Account balance. If your current Account balance is insufficient to meet your liability, we will remove any funds remaining in your Account and instate your Account with a negative balance up to the remaining amount of your liability, and you shall add funds into your Account (whether through an issuance of XFERS e-money / crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet or a transfer of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet, in accordance with Clause 8.6 above) as soon as possible to restore your Account to a zero or positive balance, or to pay us through an alternative method agreed to by us.
14.3 Actions by Fazz – Restricted Activities
If we, in our sole and absolute discretion, believe that you may have engaged in any Restricted Activities, we may take various actions to protect XFERS, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, other Users, other third parties or you from Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and any other liability. The actions that may be taken include but are not limited to the following:

14.4 Actions by Fazz – Holds
Risk-based holds: We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, place a hold on any or all of the payments/transfers you receive/send when we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your Account, or any or all of your transactions. Our determination may be based on different factors and we may rely on information it receives from third parties. If we place a hold on a payment/transfer, the funds will appear in your “withheld balance” and the payment/transfer status will indicate the hold, for example it can show as “Completed – Funds not yet available.” We will release the hold on any payment/transfer after 30 calendar days from the date the payment/transfer was received into your Account unless we have a reason to continue to hold the payment such as (a) the receipt of a dispute, Claim, Chargeback, or Reversal, (b) we believe that you have violated the terms of this Agreement or any other Policy and that such a violation results in the need to continue holding the funds, or (c) we believe that you may be engaging in potentially fraudulent or suspicious activity and/or transactions. In such an event, we may continue holding the payment/transfer in your Account until the matter is resolved pursuant to this Agreement. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, release the hold earlier under certain circumstances, for example when you upload tracking information of the item you shipped or when the paying User confirms that you have delivered the goods or services promised.
Disputed transaction holds: If a User files a dispute, Claim, Chargeback or Reversal on a payment you received, we may place a temporary hold on the funds in your Account to cover the amount of the liability. If you win the dispute, we will lift the temporary hold. If you lose the dispute, we will remove the funds from your Account.
14.5 Actions by Fazz – Reserves
We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, place a Reserve on funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) held in your Account where we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with your Account. If we place a Reserve in your Account, transactions will be shown as “pending” or “withheld” in your Account balance, and you will not have access to funds in a “pending” or “withheld” status until they are cleared. The terms of the Reserve may require that a certain percentage of the amounts received into your Account are held for a certain period of time, or that a certain amount of money is held in Reserve, or anything else that we determine is necessary to protect against the risk associated with your Account. We may change the terms of the Reserve at any time by providing you with notice of the new terms.
14.6 Actions by Fazz – Blacklisting of Account and/or Non-Fazz Account
We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, blacklist your Account or Non-Fazz Account, when we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your Account and/or Non-Fazz Account, or any or all of your transactions. Our determination may be based on different factors and we may rely on information it receives from third parties. If we blacklists your Account or Non-Fazz Account, you will not be able to:
(a) receive transfers or payments (whether in XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or otherwise) into your blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account, or
(b) transfer or make payments using your funds or XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account to another Account/Non-Fazz Account.
Even if your Account has not been blacklisted, you will not be able to:
(a) receive transfers or payments (whether in XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or otherwise) from a blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account, or
(b) transfer or make payments using your funds or XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your Account to a blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account.
14.7 Actions by Fazz – Account Closure, Termination of Service, Limited Account Access; Confidential Criteria
We reserve the right to terminate this Agreement and/or access to the Fazz Services for any reason and at any time upon notice and payment to you of any unrestricted funds held in your balance. If we limit access to your Account, you may have the opportunity to request restoration of access if, in our sole and absolute discretion, we deem it appropriate. Further, you acknowledge that our decision to take certain actions, including limiting access to your Account, placing holds or imposing Reserves, may be based on confidential criteria that is essential to our management of risk, the security of Users’ Accounts and the XFERS system. You agree that we are under no obligation to disclose the details of its risk management or its security procedures to you.
14.8 Acceptable Use Policy Violations
If you violate the Acceptable Use Policy, then in addition to the above actions, you will be liable to XFERS for XFERS’ damages for each violation of the Acceptable Use Policy. You agree that $500.00 SGD (or equivalent) per transaction in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of XFERS’s actual damages considering all currently existing circumstances, including the relationship of the sum to the range of harm to XFERS that reasonably could be anticipated because due to the nature of the violations of the Acceptable Use Policy, actual damages would be impractical or extremely difficult to calculate. XFERS may deduct such damages directly from any existing balance in the offending Account, or any other Account you control.
15 DISPUTES

(i) Any delay or failure in the redemption, purchase or withdrawal of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, or the loss of value of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or the XFERS Reserves backing the redemption / purchase of such XFERS Tokens, resulting from (i) the failure or insolvency of any bank, depository, custodian, borrower, or payment processor holding or processing the XFERS Reserves, (ii) the theft of XFERS Reserves, or (iii) freezes, seizures or other legal processes asserted by a government or a court of law.

XFERS does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to any part of the Fazz Services, and operation of our site may be temporarily suspended for maintenance or upgrade or interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. XFERS will make reasonable efforts to ensure that requests for electronic debits and credits involving bank accounts are processed in a timely manner but XFERS makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing because the Fazz Services are dependent upon many factors outside of our control, such as delays in the banking system or mail service.

This paragraph gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights that vary from country to country.

2 PAYMENT SERVICES & ELIGIBILITY
2.1 Payment Services
XFERS PTE. LTD. is a payment services provider and acts as such by creating, hosting, maintaining and providing our Fazz Services to you via the Internet. Our services allow you to send payments/transfers to anyone with an Account or a Non-Fazz Account, and, where available, to receive payments/transfers. Our service availability varies by country.
XFERS operates the following e-money or digital payment token systems: (1) where the records relating to XFERS e-money or XFERS Tokens are stored on XFERS' internal ledger, and (2) where the records relating to XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens are stored on a blockchain ledger, and such XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens are represented in the form of transferable digital tokens or stablecoins. The latter system is intended to create an open and interoperable network that would enable more flexible third-party development of new applications involving XFERS Tokens.
XFERS also provides account issuance, merchant acquisition, domestic money transfer and inward cross-border money transfer services in respect of XFERS e-money.
XFERS also allows Users to hold XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in their StraitsX Wallet(s), with such XFERS Tokens being recognised by the relevant blockchain system as being held and controlled by XFERS. XFERS will correspondingly maintain an internal ledger which records the XFERS Tokens that it holds and controls on behalf of each User.
Subject to all Applicable Laws, the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Clause 6.6 below), and any fees where applicable, XFERS undertakes to redeem / purchase from any User, one (1) XFERS Token for one (1) Singapore Dollar ("SGD") or, as the case may be, one (1) unit of such other currency that the relevant XFERS Token is denominated in or pegged to. XFERS will hold SGD and/or other currencies or assets ("XFERS Reserves") to back the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens in circulation. The composition of the XFERS Reserves used to back the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens is within the sole control and at the sole and absolute discretion of XFERS. While XFERS may hold XFERS Reserves in interest-bearing accounts or other yield-generating assets or instruments, holders of the XFERS Tokens are not entitled to any interest or other returns earned by the XFERS Reserves
XFERS is not a bank or deposit-taking company, and XFERS does not maintain any bank account or any current, savings or deposit account for Users.
XFERS is not providing the function of a settlement institution but is merely providing technology infrastructure support. All settlements are to be carried out by the Users’ bank.
XFERS is not in the business of moneylending.
XFERS is not a common carrier or public utility.
2.2 Eligibility
To be eligible to use the Fazz Services:
(a) You must be able to form legally binding contracts under Singapore law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) you must be at least 18 years old or higher; and (ii) (for corporate bodies) you must have obtained the necessary corporate and/or regulatory approvals to use such Services.
(b) You must not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting Fazz / StraitsX as a payment method. However, this does not prevent you from passing on the fees charged by Fazz / StraitsX for the Services to the User sending the payment/making the transfer, provided that you accurately communicate that you (and not XFERS) are the party charging the fees to the User. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of products/goods/assets/property or services, as long as the handling fee is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-XFERS transactions and that you accurately communicate that you (and not XFERS) are the party charging such fees.
2.3 Legal Relationship
2.3.1 The XFERS e-money issued by XFERS is regarded as "e-money" under the PSA. XFERS PTE. LTD., as the holder of a major payment institution licence, is required to ensure that the Relevant Money received by XFERS is safeguarded in a manner prescribed by MAS. In this regard, CIMB Bank Berhad Singapore Branch ("CIMB"), as a Safeguarding Institution, has undertaken to be fully liable to Users for the Relevant Money in accordance with the Payment Services Banking Service Agreement entered into between XFERS and CIMB, as may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time.
For the avoidance of doubt, CIMB does not own, operate nor manage the Account, nor is it an issuer of the Account or the XFERS e-money under the PSA. However, as a Safeguarding Institution, CIMB, in addition to XFERS, is liable for the Relevant Money in accordance with the requirements under the PSA. In addition, CIMB will not be liable for all moneys received by XFERS from or on account of any User, in exchange for the sale and/or issuance of XFERS Tokens by XFERS.
2.3.2 In providing the Services, XFERS does not act as principal but acts as facilitator on behalf of the Users to send payments/transfers to other Users or Non-Fazz Account holders via the Users’ Accounts. As such, each payment/transfer transaction is between you and the other User or Non-Fazz Account holder, where the relationship may be contractual in nature.
We do not have any control over, and are not responsible or liable for, the products/goods/assets/property (whether tangible or intangible) or services that are paid for with our Service. We cannot ensure that a buyer or a seller you are dealing with will actually complete the transaction. Accordingly, neither XFERS, CIMB, nor any of their officers, employees or agents shall be liable in any way for the products/goods/assets/property and services sold or provided by the User or Non-Fazz Account holder including any defect, damage, quality, failure or unavailability of or relating to the products/goods/assets/property purchased from or services provided by the User or Non-Fazz Account holder or for any other disputes concerning the said products/goods/assets/property or services.

We bear no responsibility for any losses you might incur as a result of you or any third party sending Other Digital Assets to your Account.
If you have not received a payment/transfer from a Non-Fazz Account within a reasonable time, your only recourse will be to contact the payment sender/transferor, and/or the party that issues/operates (if applicable) the Non-Fazz Account. We shall not be responsible or liable for the failure of any payment/transfer made from a Non-Fazz Account.
5.8 Payment/Transfer Review
Payment/Transfer Review is a process by which we review certain potentially high-risk transactions. If a payment/transfer is subject to Payment/Transfer Review, we may place a hold on the payment/transfer and conduct a review and either clear or cancel the payment/transfer. If the payment/transfer is cleared, to the extent that the payment/transfer is made to an Fazz / StraitsX Account, the receiving User will be notified that the funds have been transferred. Otherwise, the payment/transfer will be cancelled and returned to the sending User’s Account or the sending Non-Fazz Account holder.
5.9 Risk of Reversals, Chargebacks and Claims
When you receive a payment/transfer, you are liable to us for the full amount of the payment/transfer plus any fees if the payment/transfer is later invalidated for any reason, regardless of whether such payment/transfer has been received from an Fazz / StraitsX Account or Non-Fazz Account. This means that, in addition to any other liability, you will be responsible for the amount of the payment/transfer, plus the applicable fees, as charged by us, if you lose a Claim or a Chargeback, or if there is a Reversal of the payment/transfer.
5.10 Refund or Return of Paid/Transferred Amount
If you are a receiving User wishing to return or refund the paid/transferred amount to the sending User or to the sending Non-Fazz Account holder (as the case may be), you should contact our customer support team. The return or refund amount should not exceed the original paid/transferred amount. The processing of any return or refund is in XFERS’ absolute discretion, and if a return or refund is issued, you continue to be liable for fees for the initial payment/transfer, as well as the prevailing administrative fees for effecting such a return or refund (if any).
If you are a sending User, you should contact the receiving User if you wish to get a return or refund for the paid/transferred amount. We may, in our absolute discretion, assist you in contacting the receiving User, but we shall not be under any obligation to return or refund you the paid/transferred amount.
For any payments/transfers of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to Non-Fazz Accounts, XFERS is under no obligation to entertain any request for returns or refunds from the sender of such payments/transfers made to Non-Fazz Accounts. The sender shall bear full responsibility or liability for any payment/transfer made to Non-Fazz Accounts.

You shall be solely responsible for ensuring that your Attached Bank Account is able to receive the appropriate fiat currency from your sale / redemption of Non-XFERS Tokens.
We have no obligation to ensure that the third party service provider transfers the equivalent amount of fiat currency to your Attached Bank Account. You shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the amount of fiat currency received in your Attached Bank Account is accurate and corresponds to the amount of Non-XFERS Tokens which you instruct us to sell, less any applicable fees.

6.3 Transfer of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to your Non-Fazz Account

The fees for redemption / withdrawal / transfer will depend on the method of redemption / withdrawal / transfer you choose. In addition, if you redeem / withdraw / transfer your XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in a currency / Token other than the currency / Token in which the balance on your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet is denominated, the prevailing exchange rate and conversion fees as stated on our website will apply.

6.6 Delays in Redemption / Purchase of XFERS Tokens
XFERS reserves the right to delay the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens by XFERS, if such delay is necessitated by the illiquidity or unavailability of any XFERS Reserves held by XFERS to back the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens in circulation. XFERS also reserves the right to redeem / purchase XFERS Tokens using other currencies or assets other than the currency in which the relevant XFERS Token is denominated in or pegged to.

8 YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE & REWARDS
8.1 Balances
The funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) in your Account will be reflected in your Account balance (whether in the Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet balance, Settlement Wallet balance, or Temporary Holding Balance). Each time you transact with or add funds into your Account (including where you Instruct that we issue XFERS e-money or credit XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet), you shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the balance reflected is accurate and corresponds to the amount paid or transferred to your Account, or the amount that you have provided us with in exchange for the issuance of XFERS e-money or crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet.
XFERS, and the Safeguarding Institution and their respective officers, employees and agents shall not be liable for any error or omission not drawn to their attention upon any payments or transfers to/from Fazz / StraitsX Accounts, or Instruction for issuance of XFERS e-money or crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet.

Additionally, XFERS’ records of all balances and transactions (including blockchain records and your Account balance) shall, save for manifest error or fraud, be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes.
This Clause 8.1 does not affect any right that you may have in respect of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens which are stored in Non-Fazz Accounts controlled by you.

Depending on, among other things, the degree to which you have verified your Account, we may limit the maximum amount of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens that you can hold in aggregate in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet.

When opening an Account, we may also open a wallet for you in which you may receive funds from your sale of goods or provision of services, in connection with our provision of merchant acquisition services ("Settlement Wallet").
Subject to and in accordance with our fund transfer and settlement processes and timelines (as may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time), all funds in your Settlement Wallet will be transferred to your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet and/or Attached Bank Account. You will not be able to instruct us as to how the amounts in your Settlement Wallet may be applied.
Without limiting the generality of the actions we may take under Clause 14, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, withhold some or all of your funds in your Settlement Wallet. This is to take into account the possibility that the payment or transfer of such funds received in your Settlement Wallet may be subject to a Chargeback, Reversal, Claim or be otherwise invalidated – in which case, we may reverse the payment or transfer of such funds from your Settlement Wallet.
8.4 Temporary Holding Balance
Any Instruction for issuance of XFERS e-money, crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or transfers of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet which are in excess of the issuance, purchase or transfer limits (as determined by us pursuant to Clauses 4.1, Clause 4.3 and 5.7 above) and/or maximum limits you are permitted to hold in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet (as determined by us pursuant to Clause 8.2 above) will be separately reflected in your Account as a temporary holding balance, and will not be held in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet ("Temporary Holding Balance").

Where you have not specified an Attached Bank Account, we will retain the amounts in your Temporary Holding Balance until you have specified an Attached Bank Account.
8.5 Set-off of Due Amounts
You agree to allow XFERS to recover any amounts due to us by debiting your Account balance or your XFERS Credits.

Additionally, if you have a past due amount owed to a XFERS affiliate, subsidiary, or parent company, XFERS may debit your Account to pay any amounts that are more than 90 calendar days past due.
8.6 Negative Balances and Multiple Currencies
If your Account has a negative balance for any reason, you shall take all necessary actions to restore your Account to a zero or positive balance as soon as possible.
XFERS may set-off the negative balance with any funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) that you subsequently add to or receive into your Account. If you have multiple currency balances in your Account and one of the currency balances becomes negative for any reason, you irrevocably authorise XFERS to set-off the negative balance by using funds you maintain in a different currency balance by converting the said funds at the prevailing currency exchange rate as stated on our website.
If your Account still remains negative despite the set-off, you shall, as soon as possible, transfer (a) money from your bank account, debit card or credit card into XFERS’ designated bank account, or (b) XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into XFERS’ designated wallet address to bring your Account to a zero or positive balance (whether through an issuance of XFERS e-money or crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet or a transfer of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet).

If you close your Account while we are conducting an investigation, we may hold the funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) in your Account to protect XFERS, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates or a third party against the risk of Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability. You will remain liable for all obligations related to your Account even after the Account is closed.
12 ERRORS & UNAUTHORISED TRANSACTIONS
12.1 Safeguarding your Account ID, password and API keys
You are responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of any and all IDs, passwords, personal identification numbers (PINs), API keys, API secret keys, or any other codes that you use to access Fazz Services or to send any Instruction to us. All such codes should be protected, and you should not (a) voluntarily disclose any code to any third party, except as instructed by us for any purpose including to initiate or execute any payment/transfer transaction through your Account, (b) disclose any code in a recognisable way on your Account or any other account; or (c) keep a record of any code in a way that allows any third party to easily misuse the code.
If you keep a record of any code, you should make reasonable efforts to secure the record, including (a) keeping the record in a secure electronic or physical location accessible or known only to you, and (b) keeping the record in a place where the record is unlikely to be found by a third party.
When using a device to access your Account, you should (a) update your device's browser (e.g. Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox) to the latest version available, (b) patch the device's operating systems (e.g. Windows operating system (OS), Macintosh OS, iOS, Android OS) with regular security updates provided by the operating system provider, (c) install and maintain the latest anti-virus software on the device, where applicable, and (d) use strong passwords, such as a mixture of letters, numbers and symbols.
Where any Non-Fazz Account is opened, maintained and/or operated by you, you are responsible for maintaining security and control of any private key, password or code that you use to access your Non-Fazz Account.
12.2 Transaction Notifications
You are also responsible for enabling transaction notification alerts on any device used to receive transaction notifications from us, opting to receive all transaction notifications for all outgoing transactions (of any amount) made from your Account, and to monitor the transaction notifications sent to your primary email address and/or telephone number. We may assume that you will monitor such transaction notifications without further reminders or repeat notifications.
12.3 Unauthorised Transactions
You are responsible for the control and use of your Account and any Instructions sent from your Account are deemed to be authorised and are binding on you. As stated in Clause 9.1, we are not in the position (nor are we obligated) to verify the identity or authority of any person(s) using your Account.
If you discover a transaction in your Account that you did not authorise, you should contact us immediately as soon as practicable after discovery of the unauthorised transaction by submitting a support ticket through this this link: https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new, and provide us with all information that we may request from you (such information being any of the information set out in paragraph 3.9 of the MAS E-Payments User Protection Guidelines (effective 5 September 2020)). You may also wish to contact the other relevant party (e.g. the recipient of your XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, or the bank which the money was withdrawn to) directly to resolve the issue.
Where you are not able to report the unauthorised transaction to us as soon as you receive any transaction notification alert for any unauthorised transaction, you should provide us with reasons for the delayed report should we so request.
You undertake to make a police report where we request for you to do so.
We are not liable in respect of any unauthorised transactions on Non-Fazz Accounts. Please contact your Non-Fazz Account issuer/operator (if applicable) in respect of any unauthorised transactions on your Non-Fazz Account.
12.4 Our Errors
We will rectify any Error that we discover.
(a) If an Error results in you receiving less than the correct amount which you are entitled to, XFERS will restore your Account balance with the difference.
(b) If an Error results in you receiving more than the correct amount which you are entitled to, we will remove the extra funds from your Account balance. If the deduction results in your Account balance becoming negative, you shall add funds into your Account (in accordance with Clause 8.6 above) as soon as possible to restore your Account to a zero or positive balance.
12.5 Your Errors
12.5.1 Sending payments and transfers: If you erroneously send a payment or a transfer to the wrong party, or send a payment or transfer for the wrong amount (based on a typographical error, for example), you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. You should also make efforts to contact the party to whom you have sent the payment/make the transfer and ask them to refund the payment/transfer amount. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a payment/transfer that you have made in error.
If you erroneously transfer XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to a Non-Fazz Account, you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. You should also make efforts to contact the Non-Fazz Account holder and/or service provider (if any) who has opened, maintained and/or operated the Non-Fazz Account which the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens have been erroneously sent to. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a transaction that you have made in error.
12.5.2 Issuance of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens: If your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet does not have a sufficient balance to send the requested payment and/or transfer, you will have to Instruct us to issue XFERS e-money / credit XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet via bank transfer or alternative funding sources. If you erroneously transferred money to the wrong bank account (i.e. a bank account that is not an XFERS’ designated bank account), your only recourse will be to contact your bank and ask them to cancel the transfer. If you have transferred money successfully into the XFERS designated bank account(s) but you entered the wrong initials / transaction reference code when initiating the bank transfer, you should contact Fazz / StraitsX customer support and send the necessary screenshots and documents to prove that the transfer originated from you. We are under no obligation to credit your Account with XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens unless we are satisfied that your funds were successfully transferred into XFERS’ designated bank account(s) AND with the correct initials / transaction reference code (as generated by the XFERS system).
12.5.3 Transfer of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your StraitsX Wallet: You may transfer XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your Non-Fazz Account into your StraitsX Wallet. If you have erroneously transferred XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into a wallet address other than the StraitsX designated wallet address as specified in the payment instructions, you should contact StraitsX customer support and send the necessary screenshots and documents to prove that the transfer originated from you. We do not guarantee that we will credit your StraitsX Wallet with the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens that have been erroneously transferred to a wallet address other than the wallet address designated by StraitsX, unless StraitsX is satisfied that your XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens were successfully transferred into a wallet address controlled by StraitsX.
If your XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens were erroneously transferred from your Non-Fazz Account to another Non-Fazz Account, your only recourse is to contact the Non-Fazz Account holder and/or service provider (if any) who opened, maintained and/or operated the Non-Fazz Account which the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens have been erroneously sent to. We shall not be responsible or liable in respect of any such erroneous transfer.
12.5.4 Redemptions/Withdrawals: Following from a redemption / withdrawal of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, if due to an error on your part, the funds are erroneously withdrawn to a wrong bank account, or the wrong amount is redeemed/withdrawn (based on a typographical error, for example), you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. You should also make efforts to contact the bank to whom you sent the payment and ask them to refund the payment/transfer. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a withdrawal that you have made in error.
If you have erroneously specified an incorrect bank account as your Attached Bank Account, and a withdrawal of the funds in your Fazz / StraitsX Account to such bank account was effected by us (whether pursuant to Clause 6.1, Clause 8.3, Clause 8.4, Clause 9.7 or otherwise), you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a withdrawal that has been effected by us to such incorrect bank account.

You should also make efforts to contact the service provider (if any) who has opened, maintained and/or operated the Non-Fazz Account which the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens have been erroneously sent to. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a transaction that you have made in error.
12A XFERS TOKENS
12A.1 XFERS Token Contract
You are responsible for ensuring that any XFERS Tokens that you receive and/or hold originate from the smart contract that has been developed and deployed by us in respect of the XFERS Tokens on the relevant blockchain system (each such smart contract, a "XFERS Token Contract"). You may access the list of XFERS Token Contracts on our website and/or the StraitsX website.
It is possible that a party unaffiliated with XFERS may create an alternative version of XFERS Tokens by developing and deploying a smart contract on a blockchain system, and passing off such tokens as "XFERS Tokens" ("Counterfeit XFERS Tokens")
We do not support any Counterfeit XFERS Tokens, and the provisions at Clause 5.7 which apply to Other Digital Assets will likewise apply to such Counterfeit XFERS Tokens. For the avoidance of doubt, any Counterfeit XFERS Token would not be considered as XFERS e-money, and therefore the holder(s) of such Counterfeit XFERS Tokens shall not be entitled to redeem or exchange such Counterfeit XFERS Tokens for fiat money with XFERS.
12A.2 Records of XFERS Tokens
All balances and transactions in respect of all XFERS Tokens held in a Non-Fazz Account will be determined by us based on the records stored on the relevant blockchain system, and all such determination shall, save for any fraud or manifest error in such records, be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes. In the event that we determine there is any fraud or manifest error in such records, we shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine what shall be the correct balances and transactions in respect of all XFERS Tokens (including, without limitation, all XFERS Tokens that we hold and control on behalf of Users), and all such determinations shall be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes.
Notwithstanding the above and without prejudice to Clauses 13 and 14 below, we reserve the right to blacklist any Non-Fazz Account and/or freeze any XFERS Tokens held in Non-Fazz Accounts where we, in our sole and absolute discretion, believe that such XFERS Tokens have been used for the purposes of and/or in connection with any Restricted Activity. Such XFERS Tokens which have been frozen or which are held in blacklisted Non-Fazz Accounts shall no longer be considered as XFERS Tokens, and therefore the holder(s) of such XFERS Tokens shall not be entitled to redeem or exchange such XFERS Tokens for fiat money. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, issue new XFERS Tokens in replacement for such XFERS Tokens which have been frozen or which are held in blacklisted Non-Fazz Accounts.
12A.3 Forks
As a result of the decentralised and open source nature of the XFERS Tokens, anybody may develop a patch or upgrade of the source code of the blockchain system on which records of the XFERS Tokens are stored without prior authorisation from anyone else. Accordingly, these blockchain systems can experience sudden changes in operating rules that are outside our control when a significant, but not overwhelming, percentage of the users accepts such patches or upgrades, called "forks". Consequently, this could result in the operation of two separate networks on which records of the XFERS Tokens are stored (i.e. multiple versions of the XFERS Tokens), and will remain separate until the blockchain systems are merged.
In the event of any such fork of an XFERS Token, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, determine which fork of the XFERS Token it will support, if any. We are under no obligation to support any fork of an XFERS Token. Further, we are entitled to in our sole and absolute discretion (but not obligated to) adjust your XFERS Token balance held in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet and/or adjust the records of the XFERS Tokens (by issuing and/or freezing XFERS Tokens) held by Non-Fazz Account Token Holders. Any such adjustments shall be determined by us in our sole and absolute discretion, depending on the circumstances. In doing so we will use reasonable endeavours to effect such adjustment on the basis of good faith and fairness, and where appropriate, by taking into account the records of XFERS Tokens stored (a) on the various blockchain systems, and (b) by us in our own ledger, if any.
Where we do not support any fork of an XFERS Token, XFERS Tokens which are recorded on the forked network would not be considered as XFERS Tokens, and therefore the holder(s) of such XFERS Tokens shall not be entitled to redeem or exchange such XFERS Tokens for fiat money with XFERS. This also means that we assume no responsibility for any value that might be lost as a result of any unsupported forks of any XFERS Token.
In the event of a fork of an XFERS Token, we may suspend some or all activities relating to the XFERS Token (including, without limitation, issuance, redemption, purchase, sending and/or receiving of XFERS Tokens) for an extended period of time ("Downtime") During this period of Downtime, you will not be able to Instruct us to issue XFERS Tokens, nor redeem, purchase, withdraw, send or receive XFERS Tokens.
You agree that we are not responsible or liable to you for any losses or damages, including lost profits, which may occur as a result of a fork, Downtime, or our determination to support or to not support any particular fork.
12A.4 Updates, Upgrades and Migration of XFERS Tokens
We may from time to time undertake an update or upgrade to the XFERS Tokens, or migrate the XFERS Tokens to a new blockchain system. If you decide not to participate in such an update, upgrade or migration, you may no longer be able to use your XFERS Tokens, although you may still redeem and withdraw the non-updated/upgraded/migrated XFERS Tokens with XFERS in accordance with Clause 6.1 above, subject to any additional terms that we may impose on such redemption and/or withdrawal of non-updated/upgraded/migrated XFERS Tokens in our sole and absolute discretion. You agree that we are not responsible or liable to you for any losses or damages, including lost profits, caused directly or indirectly by your failure to participate in any update, upgrade or migration of XFERS Tokens.

You are also liable for using the services of our third party service providers in a manner prohibited by them in their agreement with you, or providing inaccurate or incomplete information while using their service.
14.2 Reimbursement for Your Liability
If you are liable for any amounts owed to us, we may immediately remove such amounts from your XFERS Credit and your Account balance. If your current Account balance is insufficient to meet your liability, we will remove any funds remaining in your Account and instate your Account with a negative balance up to the remaining amount of your liability, and you shall add funds into your Account (whether through an issuance of XFERS e-money / crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet or a transfer of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet, in accordance with Clause 8.6 above) as soon as possible to restore your Account to a zero or positive balance, or to pay us through an alternative method agreed to by us.
14.3 Actions by Fazz – Restricted Activities
If we, in our sole and absolute discretion, believe that you may have engaged in any Restricted Activities, we may take various actions to protect XFERS, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, other Users, other third parties or you from Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and any other liability.

14.4 Actions by Fazz – Holds
Risk-based holds: We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, place a hold on any or all of the payments/transfers you receive/send when we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your Account, or any or all of your transactions. Our determination may be based on different factors and we may rely on information it receives from third parties. If we place a hold on a payment/transfer, the funds will appear in your “withheld balance” and the payment/transfer status will indicate the hold, for example it can show as “Completed – Funds not yet available.” We will release the hold on any payment/transfer after 30 calendar days from the date the payment/transfer was received into your Account unless we have a reason to continue to hold the payment such as (a) the receipt of a dispute, Claim, Chargeback, or Reversal, (b) we believe that you have violated the terms of this Agreement or any other Policy and that such a violation results in the need to continue holding the funds, or (c) we believe that you may be engaging in potentially fraudulent or suspicious activity and/or transactions. In such an event, we may continue holding the payment/transfer in your Account until the matter is resolved pursuant to this Agreement. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, release the hold earlier under certain circumstances, for example when you upload tracking information of the item you shipped or when the paying User confirms that you have delivered the goods or services promised.
Disputed transaction holds: If a User files a dispute, Claim, Chargeback or Reversal on a payment you received, we may place a temporary hold on the funds in your Account to cover the amount of the liability. If you win the dispute, we will lift the temporary hold. If you lose the dispute, we will remove the funds from your Account.
14.5 Actions by Fazz – Reserves
We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, place a Reserve on funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) held in your Account where we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with your Account. If we place a Reserve in your Account, transactions will be shown as “pending” or “withheld” in your Account balance, and you will not have access to funds in a “pending” or “withheld” status until they are cleared. The terms of the Reserve may require that a certain percentage of the amounts received into your Account are held for a certain period of time, or that a certain amount of money is held in Reserve, or anything else that we determine is necessary to protect against the risk associated with your Account. We may change the terms of the Reserve at any time by providing you with notice of the new terms.
14.6 Actions by Fazz – Blacklisting of Account and/or Non-Fazz Account
We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, blacklist your Account or Non-Fazz Account, when we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your Account and/or Non-Fazz Account, or any or all of your transactions. Our determination may be based on different factors and we may rely on information it receives from third parties. If we blacklists your Account or Non-Fazz Account, you will not be able to:
(a) receive transfers or payments (whether in XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or otherwise) into your blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account, or
(b) transfer or make payments using your funds or XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account to another Account/Non-Fazz Account.

14.7 Actions by Fazz – Account Closure, Termination of Service, Limited Account Access; Confidential Criteria
We reserve the right to terminate this Agreement and/or access to the Fazz Services for any reason and at any time upon notice and payment to you of any unrestricted funds held in your balance. If we limit access to your Account, you may have the opportunity to request restoration of access if, in our sole and absolute discretion, we deem it appropriate. Further, you acknowledge that our decision to take certain actions, including limiting access to your Account, placing holds or imposing Reserves, may be based on confidential criteria that is essential to our management of risk, the security of Users’ Accounts and the XFERS system.

14.8 Acceptable Use Policy Violations
If you violate the Acceptable Use Policy, then in addition to the above actions, you will be liable to XFERS for XFERS’ damages for each violation of the Acceptable Use Policy. You agree that $500.00 SGD (or equivalent) per transaction in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of XFERS’s actual damages considering all currently existing circumstances, including the relationship of the sum to the range of harm to XFERS that reasonably could be anticipated because due to the nature of the violations of the Acceptable Use Policy, actual damages would be impractical or extremely difficult to calculate. XFERS may deduct such damages directly from any existing balance in the offending Account, or any other Account you control.

(f) Any delay in sending or receiving XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens arising from any attacks on or issues that might arise with the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchain ledgers on which XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens are stored. XFERS is neither able nor obliged to prevent or mitigate attacks or resolve any other issues that might arise with the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchains. Any such attacks or delays on the blockchains might materially delay or prevent you from sending or receiving XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, and XFERS shall not be liable for any losses that result from such issues; or
(g) Any period where XFERS may be forced to suspend all activities relating to XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens (including issuance, purchase, crediting, transfers, redemptions and/or withdrawals of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) arising from certain circumstances, including a fork of the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchain or the identification of a security issue with the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchain; or

XFERS shall not, upon giving 14 days’ notice to you of the migration, be liable for any losses that may arise if you attempt to send XFERS Tokens to a Non-Fazz Account which is incompatible with the blockchain to which the XFERS Tokens have migrated; or
(i) Any delay or failure in the redemption, purchase or withdrawal of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, or the loss of value of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or the XFERS Reserves backing the redemption / purchase of such XFERS Tokens, resulting from (i) the failure or insolvency of any bank, depository, custodian, borrower, or payment processor holding or processing the XFERS Reserves, (ii) the theft of XFERS Reserves, or (iii) freezes, seizures or other legal processes asserted by a government or a court of law.

For the avoidance of doubt, the refund of Relevant Money under a Refund Step-in Event in Clause 7 is not subject to this $500.00 SGD cap.
17.2 Services Limitation
XFERS is not a bank and the Fazz Services are payment processing services rather than banking services. XFERS is not acting as a trustee, fiduciary or escrow with respect to your funds, but is acting only as an agent and custodian. XFERS does not have control of, nor liability for, the products or services that are paid for with the Fazz Services. We do not guarantee the identity of any User and/or Non-Fazz Account Token Holder or ensure that a buyer or a seller will complete a transaction.
17.3 No Warranty

XFERS does not have any control over the products or services that are paid for with the Fazz Services and XFERS cannot ensure that a buyer or a seller you are dealing with will actually complete the transaction or is authorised to do so. XFERS does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to any part of the Fazz Services, and operation of our site may be temporarily suspended for maintenance or upgrade or interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. XFERS will make reasonable efforts to ensure that requests for electronic debits and credits involving bank accounts are processed in a timely manner but XFERS makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing because the Fazz Services are dependent upon many factors outside of our control, such as delays in the banking system or mail service. XFERS also has limited or no control over the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens stored on Non-Fazz Accounts, and XFERS cannot ensure nor enforce your rights in respect of such XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens held on a Non-Fazz Account. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimers may not apply to you. This paragraph gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights that vary from country to country.
17.4 Indemnification
You shall indemnify and hold harmless XFERS and the Safeguarding Institution in respect of any and all damages, losses (including consequential losses and special damages), costs (including costs on a full indemnity basis), expenses, claims, proceedings or actions suffered or incurred by XFERS, Safeguarding Institution or any third party by reason of any breach or non-compliance by you of this Agreement or by XFERS or the Safeguarding Institution in enforcing any of the terms of this Agreement or preventing any breach thereof.
17.5 Force Majeure Event
Neither Safeguarding Institution nor XFERS nor any of their respective parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, officers, directors, agents, joint ventures, employees or suppliers shall be liable for non-performance, error, interruption or delay in the performance of their obligations under this Agreement, in the XFERS system’s operations, if this is due, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly to an event or failure which is beyond its reasonable control which includes without limitation: –

2 PAYMENT SERVICES & ELIGIBILITY
2.1 Payment Services
XFERS PTE. LTD. is a payment services provider and acts as such by creating, hosting, maintaining and providing our Fazz Services to you via the Internet. Our services allow you to send payments/transfers to anyone with an Account or a Non-Fazz Account, and, where available, to receive payments/transfers. Our service availability varies by country.
XFERS operates the following e-money or digital payment token systems: (1) where the records relating to XFERS e-money or XFERS Tokens are stored on XFERS' internal ledger, and (2) where the records relating to XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens are stored on a blockchain ledger, and such XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens are represented in the form of transferable digital tokens or stablecoins. The latter system is intended to create an open and interoperable network that would enable more flexible third-party development of new applications involving XFERS Tokens.
XFERS also provides account issuance, merchant acquisition, domestic money transfer and inward cross-border money transfer services in respect of XFERS e-money.
XFERS also allows Users to hold XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens in their StraitsX Wallet(s), with such XFERS Tokens being recognised by the relevant blockchain system as being held and controlled by XFERS. XFERS will correspondingly maintain an internal ledger which records the XFERS Tokens that it holds and controls on behalf of each User.
Subject to all Applicable Laws, the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Clause 6.6 below), and any fees where applicable, XFERS undertakes to redeem / purchase from any User, one (1) XFERS Token for one (1) Singapore Dollar ("SGD") or, as the case may be, one (1) unit of such other currency that the relevant XFERS Token is denominated in or pegged to. XFERS will hold SGD and/or other currencies or assets ("XFERS Reserves") to back the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens in circulation. The composition of the XFERS Reserves used to back the redemption / purchase of XFERS Tokens is within the sole control and at the sole and absolute discretion of XFERS. While XFERS may hold XFERS Reserves in interest-bearing accounts or other yield-generating assets or instruments, holders of the XFERS Tokens are not entitled to any interest or other returns earned by the XFERS Reserves
XFERS is not a bank or deposit-taking company, and XFERS does not maintain any bank account or any current, savings or deposit account for Users.
XFERS is not providing the function of a settlement institution but is merely providing technology infrastructure support. All settlements are to be carried out by the Users’ bank.
XFERS is not in the business of moneylending.
XFERS is not a common carrier or public utility.
2.2 Eligibility
To be eligible to use the Fazz Services:
(a) You must be able to form legally binding contracts under Singapore law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) you must be at least 18 years old or higher; and (ii) (for corporate bodies) you must have obtained the necessary corporate and/or regulatory approvals to use such Services.
(b) You must not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting Fazz / StraitsX as a payment method. However, this does not prevent you from passing on the fees charged by Fazz / StraitsX for the Services to the User sending the payment/making the transfer, provided that you accurately communicate that you (and not XFERS) are the party charging the fees to the User. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of products/goods/assets/property or services, as long as the handling fee is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-XFERS transactions and that you accurately communicate that you (and not XFERS) are the party charging such fees.
2.3 Legal Relationship
2.3.1 The XFERS e-money issued by XFERS is regarded as "e-money" under the PSA. XFERS PTE. LTD., as the holder of a major payment institution licence, is required to ensure that the Relevant Money received by XFERS is safeguarded in a manner prescribed by MAS. In this regard, CIMB Bank Berhad Singapore Branch ("CIMB"), as a Safeguarding Institution, has undertaken to be fully liable to Users for the Relevant Money in accordance with the Payment Services Banking Service Agreement entered into between XFERS and CIMB, as may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time.
For the avoidance of doubt, CIMB does not own, operate nor manage the Account, nor is it an issuer of the Account or the XFERS e-money under the PSA. However, as a Safeguarding Institution, CIMB, in addition to XFERS, is liable for the Relevant Money in accordance with the requirements under the PSA. In addition, CIMB will not be liable for all moneys received by XFERS from or on account of any User, in exchange for the sale and/or issuance of XFERS Tokens by XFERS.
2.3.2 In providing the Services, XFERS does not act as principal but acts as facilitator on behalf of the Users to send payments/transfers to other Users or Non-Fazz Account holders via the Users’ Accounts.

We bear no responsibility for any losses you might incur as a result of you or any third party sending Other Digital Assets to your Account.
If you have not received a payment/transfer from a Non-Fazz Account within a reasonable time, your only recourse will be to contact the payment sender/transferor, and/or the party that issues/operates (if applicable) the Non-Fazz Account. We shall not be responsible or liable for the failure of any payment/transfer made from a Non-Fazz Account.
5.8 Payment/Transfer Review

If the payment/transfer is cleared, to the extent that the payment/transfer is made to an Fazz / StraitsX Account, the receiving User will be notified that the funds have been transferred.

The processing of any return or refund is in XFERS’ absolute discretion, and if a return or refund is issued, you continue to be liable for fees for the initial payment/transfer, as well as the prevailing administrative fees for effecting such a return or refund (if any).
If you are a sending User, you should contact the receiving User if you wish to get a return or refund for the paid/transferred amount. We may, in our absolute discretion, assist you in contacting the receiving User, but we shall not be under any obligation to return or refund you the paid/transferred amount.
For any payments/transfers of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to Non-Fazz Accounts, XFERS is under no obligation to entertain any request for returns or refunds from the sender of such payments/transfers made to Non-Fazz Accounts.

(f) The Safeguarding Institution shall not be liable to you or any other person by reason of any delay in making a refund to you in respect of the Relevant Money you are entitled to in accordance with this Agreement, to the extent that such delay was due to a Force Majeure Event as defined in Clause 17.5. The Safeguarding Institution shall be excused for such delay pursuant to this sub-paragraph (f) on and as from the start of the relevant Force Majeure Event until the expiry of such Force Majeure Event.
7.2 The making of refunds by XFERS and the Safeguarding Institution shall be subject to such additional procedural or operational requirements as XFERS or the Safeguarding Institution (as the case may be) may prescribe from time to time. Your failure to observe or comply with such procedural or operational requirements may result in a delay in XFERS or the Safeguarding Institution (as the case may be) making the relevant refund.
7.3 In accordance with the applicable laws and regulations (including PSN08), XFERS is required to provide the following disclosure:
Notice for Non-Singapore Residents: XFERS PTE. LTD. is licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore to provide e-money issuance services. Please note that this does not mean you will be able to recover all the money you paid to XFERS PTE. LTD. if XFERS PTE. LTD’s business fails.
8 YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE & REWARDS
8.1 Balances
The funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) in your Account will be reflected in your Account balance (whether in the Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet balance, Settlement Wallet balance, or Temporary Holding Balance). Each time you transact with or add funds into your Account (including where you Instruct that we issue XFERS e-money or credit XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet), you shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the balance reflected is accurate and corresponds to the amount paid or transferred to your Account, or the amount that you have provided us with in exchange for the issuance of XFERS e-money or crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet.
XFERS, and the Safeguarding Institution and their respective officers, employees and agents shall not be liable for any error or omission not drawn to their attention upon any payments or transfers to/from Fazz / StraitsX Accounts, or Instruction for issuance of XFERS e-money or crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, XFERS and the Safeguarding Institution are only liable to you in respect of the withdrawal or refund of your Relevant Money, without any interest accruing.
Additionally, XFERS’ records of all balances and transactions (including blockchain records and your Account balance) shall, save for manifest error or fraud, be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes.
This Clause 8.1 does not affect any right that you may have in respect of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens which are stored in Non-Fazz Accounts controlled by you.
8.2 Maximum Limits
Depending on, among other things, the degree to which you have verified your Account, we may limit the maximum amount of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens that you can hold in aggregate in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet. Additionally, we may impose separate maximum limits based on our prevailing operational thresholds.
8.3 Settlement Wallet
When opening an Account, we may also open a wallet for you in which you may receive funds from your sale of goods or provision of services, in connection with our provision of merchant acquisition services ("Settlement Wallet").
Subject to and in accordance with our fund transfer and settlement processes and timelines (as may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time), all funds in your Settlement Wallet will be transferred to your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet and/or Attached Bank Account. You will not be able to instruct us as to how the amounts in your Settlement Wallet may be applied.
Without limiting the generality of the actions we may take under Clause 14, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, withhold some or all of your funds in your Settlement Wallet. This is to take into account the possibility that the payment or transfer of such funds received in your Settlement Wallet may be subject to a Chargeback, Reversal, Claim or be otherwise invalidated – in which case, we may reverse the payment or transfer of such funds from your Settlement Wallet.
8.4 Temporary Holding Balance
Any Instruction for issuance of XFERS e-money, crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or transfers of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet which are in excess of the issuance, purchase or transfer limits (as determined by us pursuant to Clauses 4.1, Clause 4.3 and 5.7 above) and/or maximum limits you are permitted to hold in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet (as determined by us pursuant to Clause 8.2 above) will be separately reflected in your Account as a temporary holding balance, and will not be held in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet ("Temporary Holding Balance").
You will not be able to instruct us as to how the amounts in your Temporary Holding Balance may be applied. Subject to and in accordance with our fund transfer and settlement processes and timelines (as may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time), we will effect withdrawals of the amounts in your Temporary Holding Balance to your Attached Bank Account. Where you have not specified an Attached Bank Account, we will retain the amounts in your Temporary Holding Balance until you have specified an Attached Bank Account.
8.5 Set-off of Due Amounts
You agree to allow XFERS to recover any amounts due to us by debiting your Account balance or your XFERS Credits. If there are insufficient funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) in your Account balance and insufficient XFERS Credits to cover your liability, you agree to make payment to XFERS through other means.
Additionally, if you have a past due amount owed to a XFERS affiliate, subsidiary, or parent company, XFERS may debit your Account to pay any amounts that are more than 90 calendar days past due.
8.6 Negative Balances and Multiple Currencies
If your Account has a negative balance for any reason, you shall take all necessary actions to restore your Account to a zero or positive balance as soon as possible.
XFERS may set-off the negative balance with any funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) that you subsequently add to or receive into your Account. If you have multiple currency balances in your Account and one of the currency balances becomes negative for any reason, you irrevocably authorise XFERS to set-off the negative balance by using funds you maintain in a different currency balance by converting the said funds at the prevailing currency exchange rate as stated on our website.
If your Account still remains negative despite the set-off, you shall, as soon as possible, transfer (a) money from your bank account, debit card or credit card into XFERS’ designated bank account, or (b) XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into XFERS’ designated wallet address to bring your Account to a zero or positive balance (whether through an issuance of XFERS e-money or crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet or a transfer of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet). Additionally, you agree and irrevocably authorise XFERS to charge your debit card or credit card for the amounts owing, or to engage in other collection efforts to recover such funds from you.
8.7 Inactive Accounts and Expiry of funds in Fazz / StraitsX Account

8.7.4 Expiry of funds in suspended Accounts: You shall not be entitled to a refund of the funds in your Account after the lapse of 72 calendar months or (6) six calendar years after the Validity Period whereupon you shall have no claim whatsoever against us.

Where you are not able to report the unauthorised transaction to us as soon as you receive any transaction notification alert for any unauthorised transaction, you should provide us with reasons for the delayed report should we so request.

We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a transaction that you have made in error.
12.5.2 Issuance of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens: If your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet does not have a sufficient balance to send the requested payment and/or transfer, you will have to Instruct us to issue XFERS e-money / credit XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet via bank transfer or alternative funding sources. If you erroneously transferred money to the wrong bank account (i.e. a bank account that is not an XFERS’ designated bank account), your only recourse will be to contact your bank and ask them to cancel the transfer. If you have transferred money successfully into the XFERS designated bank account(s) but you entered the wrong initials / transaction reference code when initiating the bank transfer, you should contact Fazz / StraitsX customer support and send the necessary screenshots and documents to prove that the transfer originated from you. We are under no obligation to credit your Account with XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens unless we are satisfied that your funds were successfully transferred into XFERS’ designated bank account(s) AND with the correct initials / transaction reference code (as generated by the XFERS system).
12.5.3 Transfer of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your StraitsX Wallet: You may transfer XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your Non-Fazz Account into your StraitsX Wallet. If you have erroneously transferred XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into a wallet address other than the StraitsX designated wallet address as specified in the payment instructions, you should contact StraitsX customer support and send the necessary screenshots and documents to prove that the transfer originated from you. We do not guarantee that we will credit your StraitsX Wallet with the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens that have been erroneously transferred to a wallet address other than the wallet address designated by StraitsX, unless StraitsX is satisfied that your XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens were successfully transferred into a wallet address controlled by StraitsX.
If your XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens were erroneously transferred from your Non-Fazz Account to another Non-Fazz Account, your only recourse is to contact the Non-Fazz Account holder and/or service provider (if any) who opened, maintained and/or operated the Non-Fazz Account which the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens have been erroneously sent to. We shall not be responsible or liable in respect of any such erroneous transfer.
12.5.4 Redemptions/Withdrawals: Following from a redemption / withdrawal of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, if due to an error on your part, the funds are erroneously withdrawn to a wrong bank account, or the wrong amount is redeemed/withdrawn (based on a typographical error, for example), you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. You should also make efforts to contact the bank to whom you sent the payment and ask them to refund the payment/transfer. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a withdrawal that you have made in error.
If you have erroneously specified an incorrect bank account as your Attached Bank Account, and a withdrawal of the funds in your Fazz / StraitsX Account to such bank account was effected by us (whether pursuant to Clause 6.1, Clause 8.3, Clause 8.4, Clause 9.7 or otherwise), you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a withdrawal that has been effected by us to such incorrect bank account.
12.5.5 Transfers of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your StraitsX Wallet: If you erroneously withdrew the funds in your StraitsX Wallet in the form of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to a Non-Fazz Account, you may contact us at https://support-sg.fazz.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we will make reasonable efforts to recover sums sent in error. You should also make efforts to contact the service provider (if any) who has opened, maintained and/or operated the Non-Fazz Account which the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens have been erroneously sent to. We do not guarantee that we will reimburse you or reverse a transaction that you have made in error.
12A XFERS TOKENS
12A.1 XFERS Token Contract
You are responsible for ensuring that any XFERS Tokens that you receive and/or hold originate from the smart contract that has been developed and deployed by us in respect of the XFERS Tokens on the relevant blockchain system (each such smart contract, a "XFERS Token Contract"). You may access the list of XFERS Token Contracts on our website and/or the StraitsX website.
It is possible that a party unaffiliated with XFERS may create an alternative version of XFERS Tokens by developing and deploying a smart contract on a blockchain system, and passing off such tokens as "XFERS Tokens" ("Counterfeit XFERS Tokens")
We do not support any Counterfeit XFERS Tokens, and the provisions at Clause 5.7 which apply to Other Digital Assets will likewise apply to such Counterfeit XFERS Tokens. For the avoidance of doubt, any Counterfeit XFERS Token would not be considered as XFERS e-money, and therefore the holder(s) of such Counterfeit XFERS Tokens shall not be entitled to redeem or exchange such Counterfeit XFERS Tokens for fiat money with XFERS.
12A.2 Records of XFERS Tokens
All balances and transactions in respect of all XFERS Tokens held in a Non-Fazz Account will be determined by us based on the records stored on the relevant blockchain system, and all such determination shall, save for any fraud or manifest error in such records, be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes. In the event that we determine there is any fraud or manifest error in such records, we shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine what shall be the correct balances and transactions in respect of all XFERS Tokens (including, without limitation, all XFERS Tokens that we hold and control on behalf of Users), and all such determinations shall be conclusive and binding on you for all purposes.
Notwithstanding the above and without prejudice to Clauses 13 and 14 below, we reserve the right to blacklist any Non-Fazz Account and/or freeze any XFERS Tokens held in Non-Fazz Accounts where we, in our sole and absolute discretion, believe that such XFERS Tokens have been used for the purposes of and/or in connection with any Restricted Activity. Such XFERS Tokens which have been frozen or which are held in blacklisted Non-Fazz Accounts shall no longer be considered as XFERS Tokens, and therefore the holder(s) of such XFERS Tokens shall not be entitled to redeem or exchange such XFERS Tokens for fiat money. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, issue new XFERS Tokens in replacement for such XFERS Tokens which have been frozen or which are held in blacklisted Non-Fazz Accounts.
12A.3 Forks
As a result of the decentralised and open source nature of the XFERS Tokens, anybody may develop a patch or upgrade of the source code of the blockchain system on which records of the XFERS Tokens are stored without prior authorisation from anyone else. Accordingly, these blockchain systems can experience sudden changes in operating rules that are outside our control when a significant, but not overwhelming, percentage of the users accepts such patches or upgrades, called "forks". Consequently, this could result in the operation of two separate networks on which records of the XFERS Tokens are stored (i.e. multiple versions of the XFERS Tokens), and will remain separate until the blockchain systems are merged.
In the event of any such fork of an XFERS Token, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, determine which fork of the XFERS Token it will support, if any. We are under no obligation to support any fork of an XFERS Token. Further, we are entitled to in our sole and absolute discretion (but not obligated to) adjust your XFERS Token balance held in your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet and/or adjust the records of the XFERS Tokens (by issuing and/or freezing XFERS Tokens) held by Non-Fazz Account Token Holders. Any such adjustments shall be determined by us in our sole and absolute discretion, depending on the circumstances. In doing so we will use reasonable endeavours to effect such adjustment on the basis of good faith and fairness, and where appropriate, by taking into account the records of XFERS Tokens stored (a) on the various blockchain systems, and (b) by us in our own ledger, if any.
Where we do not support any fork of an XFERS Token, XFERS Tokens which are recorded on the forked network would not be considered as XFERS Tokens, and therefore the holder(s) of such XFERS Tokens shall not be entitled to redeem or exchange such XFERS Tokens for fiat money with XFERS. This also means that we assume no responsibility for any value that might be lost as a result of any unsupported forks of any XFERS Token.
In the event of a fork of an XFERS Token, we may suspend some or all activities relating to the XFERS Token (including, without limitation, issuance, redemption, purchase, sending and/or receiving of XFERS Tokens) for an extended period of time ("Downtime") During this period of Downtime, you will not be able to Instruct us to issue XFERS Tokens, nor redeem, purchase, withdraw, send or receive XFERS Tokens.
You agree that we are not responsible or liable to you for any losses or damages, including lost profits, which may occur as a result of a fork, Downtime, or our determination to support or to not support any particular fork.
12A.4 Updates, Upgrades and Migration of XFERS Tokens
We may from time to time undertake an update or upgrade to the XFERS Tokens, or migrate the XFERS Tokens to a new blockchain system. If you decide not to participate in such an update, upgrade or migration, you may no longer be able to use your XFERS Tokens, although you may still redeem and withdraw the non-updated/upgraded/migrated XFERS Tokens with XFERS in accordance with Clause 6.1 above, subject to any additional terms that we may impose on such redemption and/or withdrawal of non-updated/upgraded/migrated XFERS Tokens in our sole and absolute discretion. You agree that we are not responsible or liable to you for any losses or damages, including lost profits, caused directly or indirectly by your failure to participate in any update, upgrade or migration of XFERS Tokens.

14.1 Your Liability
You are responsible for all Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability incurred by us, a User, or a third party caused by or arising out of your breach of this Agreement, and/or your use of the Fazz Services. You agree to reimburse us, a User, or a third party for any and all such liability.
You are also liable for using the services of our third party service providers in a manner prohibited by them in their agreement with you, or providing inaccurate or incomplete information while using their service.
14.2 Reimbursement for Your Liability
If you are liable for any amounts owed to us, we may immediately remove such amounts from your XFERS Credit and your Account balance. If your current Account balance is insufficient to meet your liability, we will remove any funds remaining in your Account and instate your Account with a negative balance up to the remaining amount of your liability, and you shall add funds into your Account (whether through an issuance of XFERS e-money / crediting of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet or a transfer of XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens into your Fazz Account / StraitsX Wallet, in accordance with Clause 8.6 above) as soon as possible to restore your Account to a zero or positive balance, or to pay us through an alternative method agreed to by us.
14.3 Actions by Fazz – Restricted Activities
If we, in our sole and absolute discretion, believe that you may have engaged in any Restricted Activities, we may take various actions to protect XFERS, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, other Users, other third parties or you from Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and any other liability. The actions that may be taken include but are not limited to the following:
(a) We may close, suspend, freeze, or limit your access to your Account or the Fazz Services;

14.4 Actions by Fazz – Holds
Risk-based holds: We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, place a hold on any or all of the payments/transfers you receive/send when we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your Account, or any or all of your transactions. Our determination may be based on different factors and we may rely on information it receives from third parties. If we place a hold on a payment/transfer, the funds will appear in your “withheld balance” and the payment/transfer status will indicate the hold, for example it can show as “Completed – Funds not yet available.” We will release the hold on any payment/transfer after 30 calendar days from the date the payment/transfer was received into your Account unless we have a reason to continue to hold the payment such as (a) the receipt of a dispute, Claim, Chargeback, or Reversal, (b) we believe that you have violated the terms of this Agreement or any other Policy and that such a violation results in the need to continue holding the funds, or (c) we believe that you may be engaging in potentially fraudulent or suspicious activity and/or transactions. In such an event, we may continue holding the payment/transfer in your Account until the matter is resolved pursuant to this Agreement. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, release the hold earlier under certain circumstances, for example when you upload tracking information of the item you shipped or when the paying User confirms that you have delivered the goods or services promised.
Disputed transaction holds: If a User files a dispute, Claim, Chargeback or Reversal on a payment you received, we may place a temporary hold on the funds in your Account to cover the amount of the liability. If you win the dispute, we will lift the temporary hold. If you lose the dispute, we will remove the funds from your Account.
14.5 Actions by Fazz – Reserves
We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, place a Reserve on funds (including XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) held in your Account where we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with your Account. If we place a Reserve in your Account, transactions will be shown as “pending” or “withheld” in your Account balance, and you will not have access to funds in a “pending” or “withheld” status until they are cleared. The terms of the Reserve may require that a certain percentage of the amounts received into your Account are held for a certain period of time, or that a certain amount of money is held in Reserve, or anything else that we determine is necessary to protect against the risk associated with your Account. We may change the terms of the Reserve at any time by providing you with notice of the new terms.
14.6 Actions by Fazz – Blacklisting of Account and/or Non-Fazz Account
We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, blacklist your Account or Non-Fazz Account, when we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your Account and/or Non-Fazz Account, or any or all of your transactions. Our determination may be based on different factors and we may rely on information it receives from third parties. If we blacklists your Account or Non-Fazz Account, you will not be able to:
(a) receive transfers or payments (whether in XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or otherwise) into your blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account, or
(b) transfer or make payments using your funds or XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account to another Account/Non-Fazz Account.
Even if your Account has not been blacklisted, you will not be able to:
(a) receive transfers or payments (whether in XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or otherwise) from a blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account, or
(b) transfer or make payments using your funds or XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens from your Account to a blacklisted Account/Non-Fazz Account.
14.7 Actions by Fazz – Account Closure, Termination of Service, Limited Account Access; Confidential Criteria
We reserve the right to terminate this Agreement and/or access to the Fazz Services for any reason and at any time upon notice and payment to you of any unrestricted funds held in your balance. If we limit access to your Account, you may have the opportunity to request restoration of access if, in our sole and absolute discretion, we deem it appropriate. Further, you acknowledge that our decision to take certain actions, including limiting access to your Account, placing holds or imposing Reserves, may be based on confidential criteria that is essential to our management of risk, the security of Users’ Accounts and the XFERS system. You agree that we are under no obligation to disclose the details of its risk management or its security procedures to you.
14.8 Acceptable Use Policy Violations
If you violate the Acceptable Use Policy, then in addition to the above actions, you will be liable to XFERS for XFERS’ damages for each violation of the Acceptable Use Policy. You agree that $500.00 SGD (or equivalent) per transaction in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of XFERS’s actual damages considering all currently existing circumstances, including the relationship of the sum to the range of harm to XFERS that reasonably could be anticipated because due to the nature of the violations of the Acceptable Use Policy, actual damages would be impractical or extremely difficult to calculate. XFERS may deduct such damages directly from any existing balance in the offending Account, or any other Account you control.
15 DISPUTES
15.1 Disputes with other Users/Non-Fazz Account Token Holders regarding underlying transaction
If you have any disputes with other User(s) and/or Non-Fazz Account Token Holder(s) regarding the underlying transaction, you should take it up with the other User(s) and/or Non-Fazz Account Token Holder(s) (as the case may be) directly.

You shall also deal with all customer service issues, notifications, handling of refunds, and complaints made by the sending User and/or Non-Fazz Account Token Holder (or other third parties) in respect of the products/goods/assets/property (whether tangible or intangible) or services supplied by you or your end-users under the Fazz Services.

XFERS is neither able nor obliged to prevent or mitigate attacks or resolve any other issues that might arise with the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchains. Any such attacks or delays on the blockchains might materially delay or prevent you from sending or receiving XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, and XFERS shall not be liable for any losses that result from such issues; or
(g) Any period where XFERS may be forced to suspend all activities relating to XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens (including issuance, purchase, crediting, transfers, redemptions and/or withdrawals of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens) arising from certain circumstances, including a fork of the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchain or the identification of a security issue with the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchain; or
(h) Any delay or failure in sending XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens to a Non-Fazz Account arising from the Non-Fazz Account’s inability to support such Tokens, whether because it is incompatible with the Ethereum, Zilliqa or Polygon blockchains or otherwise.

(i) Any delay or failure in the redemption, purchase or withdrawal of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens, or the loss of value of XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens or the XFERS Reserves backing the redemption / purchase of such XFERS Tokens, resulting from (i) the failure or insolvency of any bank, depository, custodian, borrower, or payment processor holding or processing the XFERS Reserves, (ii) the theft of XFERS Reserves, or (iii) freezes, seizures or other legal processes asserted by a government or a court of law.
In all other cases, the total liability of the Safeguarding Institution, XFERS and their respective parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, officers, directors, agents, joint ventures, employees or service providers shall be limited to the actual amount of direct damages and shall not exceed $500.00 SGD or the XFERS e-money, XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens balance in your Account as of the date your claim arises, whichever is lower. For the avoidance of doubt, the refund of Relevant Money under a Refund Step-in Event in Clause 7 is not subject to this $500.00 SGD cap.
17.2 Services Limitation
XFERS is not a bank and the Fazz Services are payment processing services rather than banking services. XFERS is not acting as a trustee, fiduciary or escrow with respect to your funds, but is acting only as an agent and custodian. XFERS does not have control of, nor liability for, the products or services that are paid for with the Fazz Services. We do not guarantee the identity of any User and/or Non-Fazz Account Token Holder or ensure that a buyer or a seller will complete a transaction.
17.3 No Warranty
THE Fazz Services ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OF WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. XFERS, OUR PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, JOINT VENTURES, EMPLOYEES AND OUR SUPPLIERS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. XFERS does not have any control over the products or services that are paid for with the Fazz Services and XFERS cannot ensure that a buyer or a seller you are dealing with will actually complete the transaction or is authorised to do so. XFERS does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to any part of the Fazz Services, and operation of our site may be temporarily suspended for maintenance or upgrade or interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. XFERS will make reasonable efforts to ensure that requests for electronic debits and credits involving bank accounts are processed in a timely manner but XFERS makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing because the Fazz Services are dependent upon many factors outside of our control, such as delays in the banking system or mail service. XFERS also has limited or no control over the XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens stored on Non-Fazz Accounts, and XFERS cannot ensure nor enforce your rights in respect of such XFERS Tokens and/or Non-XFERS Tokens held on a Non-Fazz Account. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimers may not apply to you. This paragraph gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights that vary from country to country.
