16. Terms Specific to Liquid Account, PayNow and FAST:
Permitted Funding Source. You may fund and/or top-up your Liquid Account via PayNow and/or FAST only.
17. Terms Specific to PayNow and FAST:
PayNow Registration. In order to receive funds in your Liquid Account via PayNow, you must first complete your PayNow registration with Liquid using your mobile phone number. If you intend to make a PayNow transfer only, you do not need to complete a PayNow registration. To complete your PayNow registration with Liquid:
(i) you must have a Liquid Account;
(ii) you must have a valid mobile phone number on file with us; and
(iii) you must link your mobile phone number to your Liquid Account to receive funds via PayNow.
By completing the PayNow registration with Liquid you are deemed to have agreed and consented to the PayNow terms and conditions as amended from time to time. If at any time you do not agree or consent, please do not continue to use the Services.
18. Receiving Monies. Your Liquid Account is enabled to receive electronic fund transfers from customers of financial institutions who are participants in the PayNow and FAST schemes. Notwithstanding anything in these terms, it is your responsibility to ensure that you provide the correct details at all times, including your applicable registered PayNow proxy to any person from whom you wish to receive funds and you shall be solely responsible for any errors or damages suffered by you and/or any person arising from or in connection with any use or misuse of PayNow.
A PayNow transaction and/or FAST transaction shall be considered as incomplete if the amount specified by you (“Transfer Amount”) fails to be credited to the relevant PayNow Account for any reason (whether by reason of a failure in the PayNow system, the FAST system or otherwise). If a PayNow transaction and/or FAST transaction is not completed for any reason, Liquid shall not be liable to you in respect of the incomplete PayNow Transaction, including without limitation, your non-receipt of the Transfer Amount.
Liquid shall be entitled, at its sole and absolute discretion, to reject or refuse to process any PayNow registration, PayNow transaction and/or FAST transaction and shall not be required to give any reason for the same.
19. Payment Limits. We may, at our discretion or if required by law, impose limits on the number of payments you can make through our Services or the amount that you can hold in, or top-up to, your Liquid Account. If you have a Verified Account or if you meet certain requirements that we may impose from time to time or as required by law, we may in our sole discretion increase your limits. As at the date of this version of this Agreement, the maximum aggregated amount of e-money that you can hold in your Liquid Account at any time is S$999 (or such equivalent aggregate amount in foreign currencies) and the total aggregated value of consumer payment transactions that you can carry out with your Liquid Account using e-money in a calendar year may not exceed S$30,000 (or such equivalent aggregate amount in foreign currencies).
20. Payment Methods Generally You may register your scheme card or bank account with our Services to facilitate the processing of payment transactions using the Liquid App. The payment method must be associated with a billing address in a country where our Services are made available. By registering your scheme card with us, you agree and authorize us to confirm that your scheme card is in good standing with the issuing financial institution, including, but not limited to, us submitting a request for a payment authorization and/or a low dollar credit and/or debit to the relevant card
scheme, in accordance with the relevant card scheme rules as applicable. You also agree and authorize us to obtain from time to time a credit report and/or to otherwise make credit or other background inquiries as we deem appropriate to evaluate your registration for or continued use of the Services.
21. Preferred Payment Method. You may select a preferred payment method each time you make a payment or to automatically top-up e-money to your User Accounts. By adding a scheme card as a payment method on your Liquid App, you are providing us 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 User Account at any time.
22. Bank/Scheme Card Fees. Your bank or scheme card issuer may charge you fees for sending or receiving funds through the Liquid App. You may be charged fees even when your transaction is domestic, and does not require a currency conversion. Liquid is not liable for any fees charged to you by your bank, scheme card issuer or other financial institution based on your usage of the Liquid App.
23. Receiving Funds Generally. Should you receive funds from unverified and/or suspicious sources in any of your User Accounts, it is your sole responsibility to contact us immediately and/or if necessary, make a police report. Please note that it can be an offence to retain and/or appropriate monies which do not lawfully belong to you.
24. Third Party Vouchers We may also from time to time work with a Merchant, financial institution, non-bank financial institution and/or any other third party, to allow electronic vouchers that are issued and operated by such Merchant, financial institution, non-bank financial institution and/or third party to be downloaded and used for payments on our Liquid App (referred to as “Third Party Vouchers”). The use of the Third Party Vouchers is subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant issuer and although the Third Party Vouchers may be used for payments via the Liquid App, the Third Party Vouchers are not managed or operated by Liquid. As such, we do not assume any responsibility or liability for any matters relating to your use of the Third Party Vouchers. If you have any queries relating to the use or balance amount in, or any transaction made using, the Third Party Vouchers, please contact the issuers directly.
25. Refused and Refunded Payments. When you send a payment transaction, the recipient is not required to accept the payment. Any unclaimed, refunded or denied payment will be returned or refunded to your relevant mode of payment for that particular transaction, less any applicable fees or charges that may be imposed.
26. Merchant Processing Delay. When you send a payment transaction to certain Merchants using the Liquid App, you are providing an authorization to the Merchant to process your payment and complete the transaction with Liquid. The payment transaction will be held as pending until and unless the Merchant processes your
payment transaction. Some Merchants may delay processing your payment transactions. In such an instance, your authorization may remain valid for up to 30 days.
ACCOUNT BALANCES
27. Balance E-money. As required under the PSA, the balance E-money in your User Account will be deposited and held in safeguarded trust account(s) with our safeguarding institution, DBS Bank Ltd. (“Safeguarding Institution”). Your monies in the safeguarded trust account(s) are commingled with other customers’ monies but are kept separate from Liquid’s corporate funds. Liquid will not use the funds held as E-money for its own operating expenses or for any other corporate purposes. If Liquid were to become insolvent, you will be able to make a claim for your funds from the safeguarded trust account(s). Please note that you may not get all your money back if (a) the funds in the safeguarded trust(s) account held by us with the Safeguarding Institutions are insufficient to meet the payout instruction; or (b) if the Safeguarding Institutions become insolvent. You will not receive interest or other earnings on the balance E-money. Liquid may receive interest on amounts that we hold on your behalf. You agree to assign your rights to Liquid for any interest derived from your funds. We shall not be obliged to return or refund any balance amount in your E-money to you at all times except when you close your User Account (please refer to Clause 32 below).
28. Setoff of Past Due Amounts. If you have a past due amount owed to us, we may debit your User Account to pay any amounts that are past due.
29. Negative Balances and Multiple Currencies. If your User Account has a negative balance, we may set-off the negative balance with any funds that you subsequently add or receive into your User Account.
CLOSING YOUR USER ACCOUNT
30. You may close your User Account at any time by writing to us with your request at contact@liquidgroup.sg. Upon the closure of your User Account, we will cancel any pending transactions, unless legally prohibited.
31. Withdrawal upon closure. If you close your User Account and there is remaining E- money in your User Account (excluding any E-money gifted to you pursuant to any marketing or promotional activity), we may hold the balance amount and require you to provide further information or documentation for verification purposes to our satisfaction, or as may be required by relevant laws and regulations, before we make any refunds or transfers of the balance amount to you. A processing fee shall be imposed for each refund and you agree that we shall be permitted to deduct such processing fees from the remaining amount in your E-money account. We shall be obliged to process any refunds only if the remaining value of your E-money exceeds the processing fee. All refunds shall only be made to a registered bank account in the country under which your User Account is registered. In the event of an unsuccessful
transfer because of any inaccurate or incomplete bank account information provided by you, we reserve the right to further impose an additional administrative fee.
32. Limitations on User Account Closure. You may not evade an investigation by closing your User Account. If you close your User Account while we are conducting an investigation, we may hold your funds to protect us, any of our affiliates or a third party against the risk of reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability. You will remain and continue to liable for all obligations related to your User Account even after the User Account is closed.
ERRONEOUS AND UNAUTHORISED TRANSACTIONS.
33. Erroneous and Unauthorized Transactions. An Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction occurs when a payment is sent from your User Account that you did not authorize and that did not benefit you. For example, if someone steals your password or mobile device and uses the Liquid App to access your User Account, and sends a payment from your User Account, an Unauthorized Transaction has occurred. If you give someone access to your User Account (by giving them your personal login information) and they conduct transactions without your knowledge or permission, you are deemed responsible for any resulting use nonetheless.
34. Notification Requirements. You should immediately notify us at contact@liquidgroup.sg with the relevant details if you believe or have reason to suspect that:
(i) there has been an Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction or unauthorized access to your User Account;
(ii) there is an error in your User Account transaction history (you can access your User Account transaction history by logging into your User Account on the Liquid App or Liquid website and clicking on a link to ’History’);
(iii) your password has been compromised;
(iv) your Liquid App mobile-activated phone has been lost, stolen or deactivated; or
(v) you need more information about a transaction listed on the statement or transaction confirmation.
35. When you notify us, please provide us with all of the following information:
(i) Your full name, email address and mobile number registered to your User Account;
(ii) A description of any suspected Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction and an explanation as to why you believe it is so or why you need more information to identify the transaction; and
(iii) the amount of any suspected Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction.
36. During the course of our investigation, we may request additional information or clarification from you.
37. After Your Notification. Once we receive your notification to us of any suspected Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction, or we otherwise detect of such independently, whichever the earlier:
(i) We will conduct an internal investigation to determine whether there has been an Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction. We will complete our internal investigation within a reasonable period from the date we received your notification of the suspected Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction or from the time of our independent detection.
(ii) We will inform you of our decision in writing after completing our internal investigation. If we determine that there was an Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction, we will promptly credit the full amount into your User Account. If we determine that it was not an Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction, we will include an explanation of our decision in our email to you. If you received a provisional credit, we will remove it from your User Account and notify you of the date and amount of the debit. You may in writing request for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation. Our decision shall be final and binding on you.
38. Scheme Card Chargebacks. If you wish to dispute or invalidate a payment that was made on your scheme card, you should contact your scheme card issuer immediately and directly.
39. Your Errors. If you erroneously send a payment to the wrong recipient, or send a payment for the wrong amount (for example, you made a typographical error), your only recourse will be to contact the recipient to whom you sent the payment and seek a refund of the payment. Liquid will not and is unable to reimburse you or reverse a payment that you have made in error.
VOID TRANSACTIONS AND REFUNDS
40. If a Merchant makes a request through the authorised channels provided to it by Liquid to void any payment transaction made by you using E-money, we may, in certain circumstances as may be agreed between us and the Merchant, refund the relevant amount to you by crediting such amount to your User Account.
41. In respect of any complaints concerning any transaction raised by you to us, you hereby acknowledge that: (a) you shall satisfactorily provide such documentary proof as we may require as relevant evidence toward our investigation of the relevant transaction; (b) you acknowledge that we shall be not be responsible or liable to you in respect of any issues with any transaction that you fail to notify in writing to us within 30 days from the date of that transaction in accordance with the terms herein; and (c) we retain the sole discretion to conduct independent investigations into each and every transaction made by you, and reserve the right to make such determination as we may deem fit. We reserve the right to charge an administration fee for any refund of any payment transaction.

16. Terms Specific to Liquid Account, PayNow and FAST:
Permitted Funding Source. You may fund and/or top-up your Liquid Account via PayNow and/or FAST only.
17. Terms Specific to PayNow and FAST:
PayNow Registration. In order to receive funds in your Liquid Account via PayNow, you must first complete your PayNow registration with Liquid using your mobile phone number. If you intend to make a PayNow transfer only, you do not need to complete a PayNow registration. To complete your PayNow registration with Liquid:
(i) you must have a Liquid Account;
(ii) you must have a valid mobile phone number on file with us; and
(iii) you must link your mobile phone number to your Liquid Account to receive funds via PayNow.
By completing the PayNow registration with Liquid you are deemed to have agreed and consented to the PayNow terms and conditions as amended from time to time. If at any time you do not agree or consent, please do not continue to use the Services.
18. Receiving Monies. Your Liquid Account is enabled to receive electronic fund transfers from customers of financial institutions who are participants in the PayNow and FAST schemes. Notwithstanding anything in these terms, it is your responsibility to ensure that you provide the correct details at all times, including your applicable registered PayNow proxy to any person from whom you wish to receive funds and you shall be solely responsible for any errors or damages suffered by you and/or any person arising from or in connection with any use or misuse of PayNow.
A PayNow transaction and/or FAST transaction shall be considered as incomplete if the amount specified by you (“Transfer Amount”) fails to be credited to the relevant PayNow Account for any reason (whether by reason of a failure in the PayNow system, the FAST system or otherwise). If a PayNow transaction and/or FAST transaction is not completed for any reason, Liquid shall not be liable to you in respect of the incomplete PayNow Transaction, including without limitation, your non-receipt of the Transfer Amount.
Liquid shall be entitled, at its sole and absolute discretion, to reject or refuse to process any PayNow registration, PayNow transaction and/or FAST transaction and shall not be required to give any reason for the same.
19. Payment Limits. We may, at our discretion or if required by law, impose limits on the number of payments you can make through our Services or the amount that you can hold in, or top-up to, your Liquid Account. If you have a Verified Account or if you meet certain requirements that we may impose from time to time or as required by law, we may in our sole discretion increase your limits. As at the date of this version of this Agreement, the maximum aggregated amount of e-money that you can hold in your Liquid Account at any time is S$999 (or such equivalent aggregate amount in foreign currencies) and the total aggregated value of consumer payment transactions that you can carry out with your Liquid Account using e-money in a calendar year may not exceed S$30,000 (or such equivalent aggregate amount in foreign currencies).
20. Payment Methods Generally You may register your scheme card or bank account with our Services to facilitate the processing of payment transactions using the Liquid App. The payment method must be associated with a billing address in a country where our Services are made available. By registering your scheme card with us, you agree and authorize us to confirm that your scheme card is in good standing with the issuing financial institution, including, but not limited to, us submitting a request for a payment authorization and/or a low dollar credit and/or debit to the relevant card
scheme, in accordance with the relevant card scheme rules as applicable. You also agree and authorize us to obtain from time to time a credit report and/or to otherwise make credit or other background inquiries as we deem appropriate to evaluate your registration for or continued use of the Services.
21. Preferred Payment Method. You may select a preferred payment method each time you make a payment or to automatically top-up e-money to your User Accounts. By adding a scheme card as a payment method on your Liquid App, you are providing us 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 User Account at any time.
22. Bank/Scheme Card Fees. Your bank or scheme card issuer may charge you fees for sending or receiving funds through the Liquid App. You may be charged fees even when your transaction is domestic, and does not require a currency conversion. Liquid is not liable for any fees charged to you by your bank, scheme card issuer or other financial institution based on your usage of the Liquid App.
23. Receiving Funds Generally. Should you receive funds from unverified and/or suspicious sources in any of your User Accounts, it is your sole responsibility to contact us immediately and/or if necessary, make a police report. Please note that it can be an offence to retain and/or appropriate monies which do not lawfully belong to you.
24. Third Party Vouchers We may also from time to time work with a Merchant, financial institution, non-bank financial institution and/or any other third party, to allow electronic vouchers that are issued and operated by such Merchant, financial institution, non-bank financial institution and/or third party to be downloaded and used for payments on our Liquid App (referred to as “Third Party Vouchers”). The use of the Third Party Vouchers is subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant issuer and although the Third Party Vouchers may be used for payments via the Liquid App, the Third Party Vouchers are not managed or operated by Liquid. As such, we do not assume any responsibility or liability for any matters relating to your use of the Third Party Vouchers. If you have any queries relating to the use or balance amount in, or any transaction made using, the Third Party Vouchers, please contact the issuers directly.
25. Refused and Refunded Payments. When you send a payment transaction, the recipient is not required to accept the payment. Any unclaimed, refunded or denied payment will be returned or refunded to your relevant mode of payment for that particular transaction, less any applicable fees or charges that may be imposed.
26. Merchant Processing Delay. When you send a payment transaction to certain Merchants using the Liquid App, you are providing an authorization to the Merchant to process your payment and complete the transaction with Liquid. The payment transaction will be held as pending until and unless the Merchant processes your
payment transaction. Some Merchants may delay processing your payment transactions. In such an instance, your authorization may remain valid for up to 30 days.
ACCOUNT BALANCES
27. Balance E-money. As required under the PSA, the balance E-money in your User Account will be deposited and held in safeguarded trust account(s) with our safeguarding institution, DBS Bank Ltd. (“Safeguarding Institution”). Your monies in the safeguarded trust account(s) are commingled with other customers’ monies but are kept separate from Liquid’s corporate funds. Liquid will not use the funds held as E-money for its own operating expenses or for any other corporate purposes. If Liquid were to become insolvent, you will be able to make a claim for your funds from the safeguarded trust account(s). Please note that you may not get all your money back if (a) the funds in the safeguarded trust(s) account held by us with the Safeguarding Institutions are insufficient to meet the payout instruction; or (b) if the Safeguarding Institutions become insolvent. You will not receive interest or other earnings on the balance E-money. Liquid may receive interest on amounts that we hold on your behalf. You agree to assign your rights to Liquid for any interest derived from your funds. We shall not be obliged to return or refund any balance amount in your E-money to you at all times except when you close your User Account (please refer to Clause 32 below).
28. Setoff of Past Due Amounts. If you have a past due amount owed to us, we may debit your User Account to pay any amounts that are past due.
29. Negative Balances and Multiple Currencies. If your User Account has a negative balance, we may set-off the negative balance with any funds that you subsequently add or receive into your User Account.
CLOSING YOUR USER ACCOUNT
30. You may close your User Account at any time by writing to us with your request at contact@liquidgroup.sg. Upon the closure of your User Account, we will cancel any pending transactions, unless legally prohibited.
31. Withdrawal upon closure. If you close your User Account and there is remaining E- money in your User Account (excluding any E-money gifted to you pursuant to any marketing or promotional activity), we may hold the balance amount and require you to provide further information or documentation for verification purposes to our satisfaction, or as may be required by relevant laws and regulations, before we make any refunds or transfers of the balance amount to you. A processing fee shall be imposed for each refund and you agree that we shall be permitted to deduct such processing fees from the remaining amount in your E-money account. We shall be obliged to process any refunds only if the remaining value of your E-money exceeds the processing fee. All refunds shall only be made to a registered bank account in the country under which your User Account is registered. In the event of an unsuccessful
transfer because of any inaccurate or incomplete bank account information provided by you, we reserve the right to further impose an additional administrative fee.
32. Limitations on User Account Closure. You may not evade an investigation by closing your User Account. If you close your User Account while we are conducting an investigation, we may hold your funds to protect us, any of our affiliates or a third party against the risk of reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability. You will remain and continue to liable for all obligations related to your User Account even after the User Account is closed.
ERRONEOUS AND UNAUTHORISED TRANSACTIONS.
33. Erroneous and Unauthorized Transactions. An Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction occurs when a payment is sent from your User Account that you did not authorize and that did not benefit you. For example, if someone steals your password or mobile device and uses the Liquid App to access your User Account, and sends a payment from your User Account, an Unauthorized Transaction has occurred. If you give someone access to your User Account (by giving them your personal login information) and they conduct transactions without your knowledge or permission, you are deemed responsible for any resulting use nonetheless.
34. Notification Requirements. You should immediately notify us at contact@liquidgroup.sg with the relevant details if you believe or have reason to suspect that:
(i) there has been an Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction or unauthorized access to your User Account;
(ii) there is an error in your User Account transaction history (you can access your User Account transaction history by logging into your User Account on the Liquid App or Liquid website and clicking on a link to ’History’);
(iii) your password has been compromised;
(iv) your Liquid App mobile-activated phone has been lost, stolen or deactivated; or
(v) you need more information about a transaction listed on the statement or transaction confirmation.
35. When you notify us, please provide us with all of the following information:
(i) Your full name, email address and mobile number registered to your User Account;
(ii) A description of any suspected Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction and an explanation as to why you believe it is so or why you need more information to identify the transaction; and
(iii) the amount of any suspected Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction.
36. During the course of our investigation, we may request additional information or clarification from you.
37. After Your Notification. Once we receive your notification to us of any suspected Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction, or we otherwise detect of such independently, whichever the earlier:
(i) We will conduct an internal investigation to determine whether there has been an Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction. We will complete our internal investigation within a reasonable period from the date we received your notification of the suspected Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction or from the time of our independent detection.
(ii) We will inform you of our decision in writing after completing our internal investigation. If we determine that there was an Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction, we will promptly credit the full amount into your User Account. If we determine that it was not an Erroneous or Unauthorized Transaction, we will include an explanation of our decision in our email to you. If you received a provisional credit, we will remove it from your User Account and notify you of the date and amount of the debit. You may in writing request for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation. Our decision shall be final and binding on you.
38. Scheme Card Chargebacks. If you wish to dispute or invalidate a payment that was made on your scheme card, you should contact your scheme card issuer immediately and directly.
39. Your Errors. If you erroneously send a payment to the wrong recipient, or send a payment for the wrong amount (for example, you made a typographical error), your only recourse will be to contact the recipient to whom you sent the payment and seek a refund of the payment. Liquid will not and is unable to reimburse you or reverse a payment that you have made in error.
VOID TRANSACTIONS AND REFUNDS
40. If a Merchant makes a request through the authorised channels provided to it by Liquid to void any payment transaction made by you using E-money, we may, in certain circumstances as may be agreed between us and the Merchant, refund the relevant amount to you by crediting such amount to your User Account.
41. In respect of any complaints concerning any transaction raised by you to us, you hereby acknowledge that: (a) you shall satisfactorily provide such documentary proof as we may require as relevant evidence toward our investigation of the relevant transaction; (b) you acknowledge that we shall be not be responsible or liable to you in respect of any issues with any transaction that you fail to notify in writing to us within 30 days from the date of that transaction in accordance with the terms herein; and (c) we retain the sole discretion to conduct independent investigations into each and every transaction made by you, and reserve the right to make such determination as we may deem fit. We reserve the right to charge an administration fee for any refund of any payment transaction.
