Additional Terms

Governing Law
- These Terms of Use shall be governed and construed in accordance with laws of the Republic of Singapore.
PayNow Service
- These terms and conditions (“Terms”) will apply when you use the PayNow Service to make transaction to CPFB with PayNow QR. You can apply to make payments to CPFB (subject to terms and conditions imposed by CPFB), of an amount specified by you or CPFB (“Payment Amount”), from your designated bank account to CPFB via a unique QR code shared with you by CPFB for the purposes of receiving payments ("PayNow QR Code").
Your Use of CPFB PayNow Service
- The PayNow Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. You understand, acknowledge and agree that:
- PayNow is operated by a third party service provider (“Service Provider”). Therefore, your access and use of the PayNow Service is subject to the availability of the services by the Service Provider, the participating banks and CPFB;
- Your use of the PayNow Service is subject to terms and conditions imposed by the participating banks and you agree to comply with such terms and conditions;
- As PayNow is operated by the Service Provider and not CPFB, CPFB does not represent or warrant that your use of the PayNow Service and/or the PayNow Transactions will be successful, uninterrupted, complete, timely, secure, or free of any error; and
- CPFB reserves the right to determine the type of transactions that can be made using the PayNow Service at our sole discretion.
- You agree and acknowledge that all PayNow Transactions are subject to such transfer limits as may be stipulated by the participating banks or the Service Provider.
- You shall not use the PayNow Service (PayNow QR Code) for any improper purpose or in an improper manner, including but not limited to unauthorised or erroneous transactions or activities or for interfering or attempting to interfere with the proper working of the PayNow Service nor of any system or network connected thereto.
- You shall indemnify CPFB against any consequences, claims, losses, damages, costs (including all legal costs), liabilities or expenses, resulting from or arising (directly or indirectly) (hereinafter, “Losses”) in connection with any fault, act or omission by you (including but not limited to your negligence, misconduct, your abuse or misuse of the PayNow Service or breach of any of these Terms or the terms and conditions imposed by the participating banks).
- You acknowledge that, unless otherwise prohibited by law, CPFB shall not be liable to you or any third party for any Losses in connection with:
- any PayNow Transaction being unsuccessful, late, incomplete or erroneous;
- any unauthorised access and/or use of your personal computers or other access devices (including without limitation mobile phone, tablets etc.);
- any event, the occurrence of which CPFB is not able to control or avoid through reasonable diligence including but not limited to any computer virus, other malicious, destructive or corrupting code and any compromise to information security; and
- the delay, interruption, error, modification, suspension, termination or discontinuance of the PayNow Service.
- For the avoidance of doubt, the PayNow QR Transaction shall be considered as unsuccessful, late, incomplete or erroneous if the Payment Amount is not received by CPFB or transferred to a recipient other than CPFB.
- You declare that all information given in your application and/or submission for PayNow Transactions through the PayNow Service is correct and complete to the best of your knowledge. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for ensuring the completeness and accuracy of all information in your application and/or submission. CPFB will process the PayNow Transactions in accordance with information obtained from you through the PayNow Service at the time of receiving your instructions. CPFB is not obliged to ensure that all information provided by you for any PayNow Transaction remains true and accurate at the time of processing the PayNow Transaction.
PayNow QR
- You shall transfer the Payment Amount to CPFB by scanning the PayNow QR Code through your relevant mobile banking application within the time as specified by CPFB. Failing which, CPFB shall treat the application and/or submission as withdrawn after the validity of the PayNow QR Code lapses. You shall be solely responsible for specifying the Payment Amount and ensuring that CPFB is the intended recipient of the Payment Amount prior to transferring the Payment Amount from your designated bank account.
- CPFB may share the PayNow QR Code with you by registered mail; online or through any other means as may be determined by CPFB from time to time.
- With regards to the PayNow QR Code, you agree:
- That your use of any PayNow QR Code for the transfer of the Payment Amount to CPFB is at your own risk, and that you shall be solely responsible for verifying the actual receipt of the Payment Amount by CPFB;
- That CPFB will not be liable to you or any third party for any Losses in connection with:
- Your use of (or inability to use) the PayNow QR Code;
- Any errors in any PayNow QR Code;
- Any improper or unauthorised use of the PayNow QR Code by you or any other person; and
- Your failure to take any precautions to ensure that the Payment Amount is correctly specified and/or CPFB is the intended recipient of the Payment Amount.
- You authorise CPFB to disclose your personal data and/or information relating to you and your application and/or submission to the Service Provider, the relevant participating banks and other third parties (where applicable) for processing, reviewing and administering and any other purposes related to your application and/or submission.
Waiver
- Any failure or delay by CPFB in exercising or enforcing any right we have under these Terms of Use does not operate as a waiver of and does not prejudice or affect our right subsequently to act strictly in accordance with our rights.
