​

2.      D-ASH Account

​

2.1      Making Payments 

 

a)
You understand that use of the Service may result in charges payable by you, for the services and/or goods that you receive, from any Third-Party Provider (“Charges”), along with any applicable fees from D-ASH per Clause 1.4. 

​

i)
Depending on the Services made available under D-ASH’s various brands, when you decide to receive the services and/or goods from a Third-Party Provider, D-ASH will require you to either immediately pay for the applicable Charges through a Sale process or validate your designated payment method with us, where we initiate a Pre-Authorization process for you to validate that you potentially have sufficient balance and a valid payment method to pay for the applicable Charges. This Pre-Authorization does not immediately result in any payment from you to D-ASH.

ii)
If this Sale or Pre-Authorization cannot be performed, D-ASH will deem your designated payment method as invalid and therefore not set-up for Charges be charged for reasons including but not limited to invalidity, expiration, insufficient balance, etc.. If you cannot provide another payment method to us to complete the Pre-Authorization, you might not be able to enjoy the Services provided by us.

iii)
You may elect to cancel your request to use the Service (to pay for the services or goods provided by a Third-Party Provider) at any time prior to the initiation of the Sale or Pre-Authorization. However, once a Sale or Pre-Authorization is completed, you are deemed to have engaged us for the use the Service, which cannot be cancelled.

iv)
During the period of time where you are receiving services and/or goods provided by the Third-Party Provider via DASH, and we received information indicating that your Pre-Authorization amount is insufficient for us to validate that there are sufficient balance for you to pay for the applicable Charges, we will cancel the existing Pre-Authorization, which means you have disengaged with us and are not using the Service to pay for the applicable Charges. At this point we will request you to initiate a separate Pre-Authorization process with a higher authorization amount. We will cancel the existing Pre-Authorization once this separate Pre-Authorization is successfully completed. If you do not choose to perform this separate Pre-Authorization or you cannot successfully complete this separate Pre-Authorization, you will not be granted access to use the Service to pay for the applicable Charges and should settle the applicable Charges with the Third Party Provider on your own terms.

​

v)
With a successful Sale or Pre-Authorization, after you have received services and/or goods obtained through your use of the Service, D-ASH will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Third-Party Provider as such Third-Party Provider’s limited payment collection agent. Payment of the Charges in such matter shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Third-Party Provider, (inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law). Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by D-ASH.

​

b)
D-ASH will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges (and any applicable fees) according to the final amount provided by the Third-Party Provider. You retain the right to request lower Charges from a Third-Party Provider for services and/or goods received by you from such Third-Party Provider at the time you receive such services and/or goods. D-ASH will respond accordingly to any request from a Third-Party Provider to modify the Charges for a particular service or good. 

 

c)
All Charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by D-ASH using the preferred payment method designated by you and/or your Account, after which D-ASH will send you a receipt on behalf of the Third-Party Provider either via SMS or WhatsApp based on the mobile phone number provided by you or via the D-ASH Mobile Application. If you did not provide us with a mobile phone number or downloaded the D-ASH Mobile Application, you acknowledge you do not wish to receive a receipt from us. 

As between you and D-ASH, D-ASH reserves the right to establish and/or revise Charges for any or all service or goods obtained through the use of the Services at any time, if deemed proper by D-ASH, with and on behalf of the Third-Party Provider.  
 

d)
Your payment for the Charges is intended to fully compensate the Third-Party Provider for the services or goods provided to you. No portion of your payment is designated as a tip or gratuity to the Third-Party Provider. You understand and agree that, while you are free to provide additional payment as a gratuity to any Third-Party Provider who provides you with services or goods obtained through the Service, you are under no obligation to do so. Tips or gratuities are voluntary, and should be inputted before the transaction is completed to allow us to facilitate the collection of relevant funds from you and payment of the relevant funds to the Third-Party Provider as tips or gratuities. 

​

2.2      Dispute on Charges / Refunds

 

a)
You are responsible to validate the amount of Charges with the Third-Party Provider before you complete the transaction. We are not responsible for the products or services you receive from the Third-Party Provider. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible to come to agreement with the Third-Party Provider on the appropriate amount of Charges for the nature and quality of the products or services you receive, and for the delivery, support, returns, and for any other ancillary services you receive.

​

b)
We can assist you to resolve disputes with the Third-Party Provider you have received goods or services from but are not responsible for ensuring a successful resolution. As a payment service, D-ASH only helps you make payments to your selected Third-Party Provider who accepts D-ASH as a payment service. Accordingly, in the event that there is any error or mistake on the Third-Party Provider’s part (including where incorrect amounts are charged or incorrect refund information is provided), you have the responsibility to work with the Third-Party Provider, who is responsible for taking any necessary corrective action (if applicable).

​

c)
In the case that you reach out to us to raise a dispute on the payment you made within one month of the transaction (or in the timeframe specified to you and our Third-Party Providers from time to time), to our best effort, we will facilitate the communication between you and the relevant Third-Party Provider to exchange and review the transaction against the information we hold, and support you and the relevant Third-Party Provider to come to an agreement on the need to perform a partial or full refund. 

​

d)
If a partial or full refund is agreed to be necessary, we will perform the partial or full refund to your original payment method. If the original payment method does not allow for partial or full refund by us, we will be requesting you to provide us with necessary information to support us to make the refund to you via means that are acceptable to us. This includes but not limited to, providing us with your FPS ID or relevant details, or bank account details for us to make the necessary online transfer to refund you the appropriate amount. If these cannot be provided, you will need to arrange a time to visit our office to receive a cheque from us with the appropriate refund amount listed. Any associated cost to receive the refund shall be borne by you.

​

e)
If the refund is deemed necessary and we have contacted you to provide us necessary information to support us to make the refund, but have not received a reply or might have received the necessary information from you but you did not proceed to collect the refund within 3 months counting from the date we have confirmed the validity and the amount of the refund, you acknowledge that this signifies that you have forfeited your rights and interest to collect the refund. As such, we hold the rights on how to handle this amount, and might not provide you the appropriate refund afterwards even if you approach us again. 

​

a)

ii)
If you decide to use the Services with the D-ASH App, we may send a notification or message to you to notify you after a successful Pre-Authorization or transaction has been effected through D-ASH. 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.

Meanwhile, you can get information about your transaction on the D-ASH App up to a certain period as specified by us from time to time. 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. If you do not let us know within 30 days after the transaction, we may be unable to take any action in relation to that error or unauthorised transaction.

 

b)
We may act on a transaction with the designated payment method 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 account credentials or verifying the designated payment method’s credentials with our partner payment gateway.

 

c)
We have the right to delay acting or refuse to act on a transaction if we are aware of or suspect a breach of security or other suspicious circumstances relating to your D-ASH 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.
