RISK WARNING ON DIGITAL PAYMENT TOKEN SERVICES

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”) requires us to provide this risk warning to you as a customer of Zipmex.

Before you pay Zipmex any money or Digital Payment Token (“DPT”), you must be aware of the following.

1. Zipmex is not currently licensed by MAS to provide DPT services. This means that you will not be able to recover all the money or DPTs you paid to Zipmex if Zipmex’s business fails.
2. You should not transact in the DPT if you are not familiar with this DPT. This includes how the DPT is created, and how the DPT you intend to transact is transferred or held by Zipmex.
3. You should be aware that the value of DPTs may fluctuate greatly. You should buy DPTs only if you are prepared to accept the risk of losing all of the money you put into such tokens.
4. You should be aware that Zipmex may offer services related to DPTs which are promoted as having a stable value, commonly known as “stablecoin”.
5. DPT held in your Hosted Wallet is not subject to the Singapore Deposit Insurance Scheme (“SDIC”) or any similar insurance or guaranty scheme of any other jurisdiction. In addition, funds stored in your Fiat Wallet do not benefit from the SDIC or any similar insurance or guaranty scheme of any other jurisdiction.

2.9 Using Your Card

2.9.1 Please note that your Card is not a credit card, charge card or prepaid card and does not incorporate or allow any credit or stored value facility. Transactions made using the Card will only be successful to the extent your Account holds a sufficient Usable Balance to settle transactions and you will not be able to complete transactions in the event you have a Negative Balance. The Card is a debit card, which will debit the funds by effecting a conversion at the Conversion Rate from the selected Supported Digital Asset within your Account when used. You can use your Card to complete transactions, which will deplete your Usable Balance, debiting the Account. You will need to activate your Card and select the digital asset that you would like to use to make purchases. Subject to any limitations contained in these Terms and specifically those at clause ‎‎4.5, once your Card is activated, you may use your Card to purchase goods and services from merchants which accept payment via your Card.

2.9.2 The Account tied to your Card is also not a savings or checking account and Zipmex may, in its sole discretion, pay rewards to you in respect of any part of the Usable Balance stored in your Account. 

2.9.3 Your digital assets are not covered by the Singapore Deposit Insurance Scheme. The digital assets will be held in one or more segregated bank accounts separately from Zipmex’s own digital assets. 

2.9.4 For the avoidance of doubt, Zipmex and the Card Issuer are not a party to any transaction for sale and purchase of goods and services between you and any merchant. The rights and obligations in connection with (a) the sale and provision of goods and services which are the subjects of such transactions, (b) the transaction methods and terms, and (c) performance or non-performance of the transactions (including but not limited to refusal to perform, delay, non- delivery, defects, errors, return or replacement of goods and services, and refund), exist only between you and such merchant, and Zipmex and the Card Issuer have no control over and is not responsible for the delivery, quality, safety, legality, fitness for purpose or any other aspect of goods or services that you purchase  with the Card or Account. Zipmex and the Card Issuer cannot and do not guarantee or ensure that the merchant you are dealing with will complete the transaction or that the merchant is authorised to do so. 

2.10 Selecting your preferred digital asset

As part of activating your Card you will be asked to select a Supported Digital Asset which will become Usable Balance and currency used for your Account. You will be allowed to change your preferred Supported Digital Asset at any time in the future under the manage card settings as long as there are no pending transactions.

2.11 Your PIN 

You will be provided a pin for your Card as part of the card activation process. Where you believe the security of your PIN has been compromised, please contact Zipmex Support on https://zipmex.com/contact-us/ and we will assist in resetting your PIN.

2.12 Protecting your Card, PIN and Password. 

2.12.1 Your Card and the corresponding Account shall be for your use only and may only be used after the Card has been activated in accordance with these Terms. You are responsible for keeping your PIN and password confidential and secure. You must not: 

(a) keep any written record of your PIN or password; 

(b) allow another person to see your PIN or password; 

(c) keep your PIN or password in a form that can be readily identified as the PIN or password to your Card;

(d) disclose your PIN or password to any other person (including your family members or spouse); or

(e) carry your PIN or password with your Card or store them in your mobile devices.

2.12.2 To access your Card, you will need to login to your Zipmex Dashboard with your existing password. For added protection and security we recommend enabling two factor authentication.

2.12.3 If you forget your password or believe it may have been compromised, you should contact Customer Support immediately on https://zipmex.com/contact-us/. You may reset your password by logging into your Zipmex Dashboard at any time you wish. 

2.13 Moving overseas 

Should you change your country of residence to a territory outside the Territory after signing up for your Card, there may be limitations on your Account. You will however still be able to (a) use any positive Usable Balance remaining in your Account to conduct transactions in accordance with these Terms until the expiry date stated on your applicable Card or until your Usable Balance is fully utilised, whichever occurs first; or (b) obtain a refund of your Usable Balance. 

2.14 Contacting Customer Support

Unless otherwise stated in these Terms, should you have any request, issue, or any complaint regarding the Card, you may contact Customer Support any day from Monday to Sunday by email to https://zipmex.com/contact-us/.

You agree that Zipmex and/or the Card Issuer may (i) monitor and/or record any conversations you have with our Customer Support officers; and (ii) use such recordings or electronic transcripts from such recordings for quality assurance and training purposes or as evidence in any dispute or anticipated dispute. 

Should you urgently need to disable or block any transaction undertaken using your Card, you may access your Zipmex Dashboard to do so. 

3. Using your Account 

Locations of Use

3.1.1 Only you, the cardholder, are authorised to use your Card and the associated Account. Subject to any limitations placed by the Card Issuer, you can use your Card to access the Usable Balance on your Account to purchase goods and services from Visa-supported merchants worldwide who accept the Card. However, where a merchant or financial institution does not accept payment via your Card or Account, Zipmex and the Card Issuer shall not be liable in such cases. 

3.1.2 Each time you make a transaction, your Account will be debited immediately by the amount of such transaction, plus any applicable fee and any other amount that we may deduct from your Account under these Terms. The Usable Balance on your Account will be reduced accordingly. 

3.2 Fees and Charges 

3.2.1 All fees and charges that relate to the use of your Card and Account are detailed in the Fees Section. All applicable fees and charges (unless otherwise specified) will be deducted from your Usable Balance. 

3.2.2 Unless otherwise specified in these Terms, all Account fees and charges as listed will be deducted from your Zipmex Wallet in the first instance. Where your Zipmex Wallet contains insufficient digital assets to complete such deductions, to satisfy the payment of such Account fees and charges, the transaction will be declined.

3.3 Rewards

3.3.1 All completed and un-cancelled / undisputed transactions within any given month will be eligible to receive a percentage credited back in Zipmex’s proprietary token, ZMT. The percentage rate of ZMT which is distributed will be based on your VIP tier at the time of reward calculation and will be based on the monthly total spend of all completed transactions, to be assessed at Zipmex’s sole discretion. 

3.3.2 The assessed ZMT will be distributed via an airdrop into your Account on the 1st day of every following month based on the previous month’s completed transactions. For example:

VIP 4 Tier (Highest Standard Tier)

$5000.00 SGD Monthly Completed Spend x 4% VIP Reward Rate = $200.00 SGD (Fiat Reward Amount)

$200.00 SGD at 2.64 SGD/ZMT Market Rate = 75.7575 ZMT (Airdropped Amount) 

3.4 Flexible payments (Flex – Available Soon)

3.4.1 When you make a purchase with your Card, you will be given a period of seven (7) days from 12 am SGT of every Friday (inclusive of Friday) to clear the balance and take advantage of market fluctuations of your selected digital asset during each period. The initial transaction amount will be quoted at time of purchase (including conversion fees) and deducted as a digital asset value from your available balance.

3.4.2 If the price of your selected digital asset increases during the 7-day period, you can initiate a Flex transaction which will clear the total accumulated weekly spend to date and you will receive an amount in digital assets back due to the increased value of your digital assets. The amount you receive back will include conversion fees.

3.4.3 If the price of your selected digital asset decreases at any time during the 7-day period, we will honour the initial transaction amount and it will automatically clear every Friday at 12 am SGT without you having to put in a specific request. 

3.4.4 Your weekly spend will start accumulating every Friday at 12 am SGT and will automatically clear by the following Friday at 12 am SGT if no Flex transactions have been completed. 

3.4.5 Transactions that have completed a Flex will be marked in your transaction history and with further details available in the Flex section of the Zipmex Dashboard.

3.4.6 We may, in our sole discretion, decide to disable the functionality of Flex at any time and during the transitional period, all existing transactions will be completed based on the original quoted transaction amount and no new Flex transactions will be accepted. We will aim to provide 7 days advance notice of such discontinuation through email to existing Flex users.

4. Managing your Account 

4.1 Balance enquiry

4.1.1 Your Usable Balance is visible in your Zipmex Wallet in your Account when you log in to your Zipmex Dashboard, or by contacting Customer Support. 

4.2 About Currency Transactions.

4.2.1 Supported Currency Transactions: When you make a purchase in a Supported Currency, the transaction amount including any fees payable will be deducted from the relevant Zipmex Wallet through a conversion at the Conversion Rate from the Supported Digital Assets. Where you have insufficient digital assets in that Zipmex Wallet, the transaction will not be successful. 

4.2.2 Unsupported Currency Transactions: When you make a purchase in an Unsupported Currency, digital assets from your Zipmex Wallet will be debited and converted to the Unsupported Currency at the applicable conversion rate. If your Zipmex Wallet has no digital assets, or insufficient digital assets, then the transaction will be unsuccessful. 

4.3 Errors and transaction disputes 

4.3.1 You should retain all vouchers and transaction records, transaction advices and receipts issued by merchants and ATMs, and check all transactions details and entries by reviewing your transaction records and history (which may be accessed on your Zipmex Dashboard or via Customer Support) on a regular basis. We accept no responsibility for your failure to regularly review, reconcile and verify the correctness of your transaction history and details nor your failure to promptly report to us any discrepancy, errors, omissions or unauthorised transactions in relation thereto. 

4.3.2 Details in the entries of your transaction history reflected on your Zipmex Dashboard are presumed to be true and correct unless you notify us in writing of any disputes or inaccuracies thereon within two (2) weeks from the time of transaction. 

4.3.3 If you believe an accounting error has occurred with regard to the Usable Balance in your Account, or your transaction history, you must notify and report such errors to us as soon as possible, in any case within two (2) weeks from the date of the disputed transaction by contacting our Customer Support team. 

4.3.4You are required to provide your proof of transaction along with as much relevant information surrounding such disputed transaction as possible. Once we have received that information, we will investigate such errors and acknowledge receipt of the same in writing within five (5) business days. Where we do not acknowledge receipt, it shall be deemed that we have not received the information. 

4.3.5 Unless you have not complied with our request for information or there are exceptional circumstances impeding our investigations (in which case we will write to you to let you know), we will complete the transaction investigations (in most cases) within forty five (45) business days of acknowledging the receipt of the information from you and notify you of the outcome. Any decision made by Zipmex in the resolution of such dispute shall also be final and in the sole discretion of Zipmex.

4.3.6 If we determine any transaction error or dispute to be attributable to our fault or the fault of our services providers (including the Card Issuer), we will take steps to rectify such errors and make the appropriate refunds in Supported Digital Assets to your Card and/or Account where necessary. However, if on reasonable grounds we decide that any such errors of defaults are not attributable whether directly or indirectly to us, the Card Issuer or our service providers, we will notify you of our decision in writing and shall not be obliged to take any further action. Unless a transaction or recording error is due directly to our fault, we shall have no liability to you. 

Disputes regarding non-delivery or unauthorised transactions

4.3.7 Please note that you cannot stop or reverse a payment on any transaction after it has been authorised or completed. Where you would like to receive a refund after conducting a transaction you should contact the relevant merchant directly with your request. Where a merchant decides to process your request for a refund, it must issue a valid refund voucher to Zipmex in order for Zipmex to make a refund to you. Zipmex will only credit your Account with the refund in ZMT after we have received such voucher from the merchant.

4.3.8 Any dispute you have with a merchant over goods or services procured using your Card or Account must be addressed directly to the merchant from whom such goods or services were provided.

4.3.9 We may (but are not obliged to), in our sole and absolute discretion, file a formal dispute with a merchant on your behalf over a transaction for which you believe you are entitled for a refund, or which is otherwise unauthorised, provided that you duly comply with our requests for information (including provision of proof of transaction) and make available to us all relevant documentation. Provided that the dispute is resolved by the merchant in your favour, in accordance with the rules of the applicable card network, we will credit your Zipmex Account with the disputed amount in ZMT. 

4.4 Refunds and/or Reversals 

4.4.1 Any refunds, payment rebates or reversals made by a merchant to you in connection with a transaction previously made in a Supported Currency, will be credited to your Account in ZMT minus Card Refund Fees. Rebates, refunds or reversals made in an Unsupported Currency will be converted at the applicable conversion rate and returned to your Zipmex Wallet in ZMT minus Card Refund Fees. 

4.4.2 Please note that amounts returned for Unsupported Currencies and currency conversion fees may differ from the amount deducted from your Account at the time of the original transaction due to exchange rate fluctuations. 

4.5 Limitations on use of your Account

4.5.1 Pre-authorisation transactions are currently not supported. This means you may not be able to use your Card with certain merchants that require pre-authorisation (such as hotels, vehicle and taxi rentals, bike rental, transportation companies, and bus lines).
