​

2.      D-ASH for Driver Account

​

2.1      Receiving Payments from Your Customers

 

a)
You can receive payments from your customers via the D-ASH services. Your D-ASH for Driver account is not an interest-bearing bank account and therefore you will not receive any interest for the funds going through transaction settlement in your D-ASH for Driver account.

 

b)
When your customers select to use the D-ASH services and pay through D-ASH, we will collect funds via the respective payment gateway and allocate the respective amount to your D-ASH for Driver account.

 

c)
If you receive any payment into your D-ASH for Driver account which you are not entitled to receive in the first place (e.g. an unauthorised or mistaken payment), you are liable to return such payment to D-ASH, so that D-ASH can return such payment to the right party. We may deduct directly from the same day or next day settlement funds in your D-ASH for Driver account or as otherwise notified to you from time to time.

 

d)
You authorise us to recover from you by deducting directly from the same day or next day settlement funds in your D-ASH for Driver account:

​

i)
any amounts that you are liable to return as provided in sub-clause (c) above if you have not already returned such amounts in accordance with sub-clause (c) above; and

​

ii)
any other amounts payable by you as provided in these Terms and Conditions.

 

If there is no or insufficient settlement funds in your D-ASH for Driver account to cover such refund, you agree for us to continue to deduct from future settlement funds until the amount is fully recovered for us or to reimburse us through other means. If we are unable to recover the funds from your D-ASH for Driver account, we are entitled to take appropriate actions to recover such amounts from you, such as by suspending your account or reaching out to your corresponding Manager, Fleet or Vehicle Owner.

 

2.2      Refunds to Customers

 

a)
You are responsible for your relationship with your customers. We are not responsible for the products or services you sell nor for other platform on which you market or sell your goods and services to your customers. You confirm that you are solely responsible for the nature and quality of the products or services you provide, and for the delivery, support, returns, and for any other ancillary services you offer to your customers.

 

b)
As a payment service, D-ASH for Driver only helps you receive payments and send refunds to your customers who use D-ASH services. Accordingly, in the event that there is any error or mistake on your part (including where incorrect amounts are charged or incorrect refund information is provided), you are responsible for taking any necessary corrective action.

 

c)
In the case that your customer reaches out to us to raise a dispute on the payment made to you within one month of the transaction (or in the timeframe specified to you and your customer from time to time), we will work with both your customer and you to review the transaction against the information we hold and identify the need to perform a partial or full refund.

 

d)
If a partial or full refund is determined by us to be needed, a refund operates by retaining the refund amount (which includes the relevant amount paid by the customer) from your D-ASH for Driver account balance for settlement. The refund amount will be inputted into your account the same day it is determined to be needed, and we will ensure that  the amount of the refund in relation to a transaction cannot exceed the amount of the original transaction.

 

e)
If your D-ASH for Driver account has sufficient balance to settle the refund amount, the refund will be settled on the same day of the refund amount input. However, if your D-ASH for Driver account does not have sufficient balance, even if the refund amount is inputted, the refund cannot be fully processed. In that case, the refund amount or any remaining refund amount will be kept on your account until your D-ASH for Driver account has sufficient balance to fully process the refund settlement.

 

2.3      Fund transfer out from Your D-ASH for Driver Account

 

The daily balance on your D-ASH for Driver account will be automatically transferred to a bank account designated by you (and acceptable to us) for such purpose (“Designated Bank Account”) but there may be a transfer limit, the amount of which we will notify you in advance. Your transfer instructions to the Designated Bank Account cannot be reversed or cancelled.

 

2.4      Instructions, Transaction History and Reporting

 

a)
You must check and ensure all information relating to your D-ASH for Driver account are correct regularly. We are not liable for any action by mistake as long as we have taken action based on the information and instructions you have provided, including but not limited to, activating or cancelling your D-ASH for Driver account, updating the Designated Bank Account, updating information related to a trip or transaction, etc.

 

b)
We may act on an instruction if we reasonably believe that it is given or authorised by you without being liable in any circumstances. You will be bound by that instruction as understood and executed by us in good faith even if (i) it is incorrect, false or unclear, or (ii) it was not given or authorised by you. We have no obligation to verify the identity of the person giving an instruction apart from verifying the credentials.

 

c)
We have the right to delay acting or refuse to act on an instruction if we are aware of or suspect a breach of security or other suspicious circumstances relating to your D-ASH for Driver account. We are not liable for any delay or refusal to act in these circumstances. We will inform you of any delay or refusal if it is reasonably practicable to do so.

 

d)
We may send a notification or message to you to notify you after an instruction, transfer or transaction has been effected through D-ASH for Driver. You are responsible to check such notification or message. You are considered as having received such notification or message immediately after we transmit it. You should enquire with us if you have not received a notification or message within the usual timeframe.

 

e)
You can view your latest transactions history up to a certain period as specified by us from time to time through your D-ASH for Driver profile. You must verify your transaction history on a timely basis and carefully. You should notify us as soon as reasonably practicable of any irregularity or any unauthorised transaction via designated contact forms, email address or telephone number(s) as we may specify from time to time.

 

f)
Information relating to any transfer or transaction made available by us is for your reference only. Our records of such transfer or transaction are final, conclusive and binding on you (save for manifest error).

 

g)
If you submit different auto daily settlement instructions (including but not limited to auto daily settlement frequency, Designated Bank Account, etc. ) to us via the D-ASH for Driver App and/or our customer service channel, the subsequent instruction received by us shall override the earlier instruction and any transfer already carried out pursuant to the earlier instruction shall not be affected.
