Authorisation

The Virtual Card is issued to you to be used for lawful transactions. The validity of the Virtual Card will remain until either your card expires, you cancel it or your Klasha Account is closed or terminated. You cannot use Virtual Cards in any way beyond their intended purpose.

Using the app to authorise payments

For security and fraud protection, there is an initial limit on the amount you can authorise in a transaction and there is an initial limit on the total amount you can authorise over a period of time. Additional periodic limits are subject to increase or decrease at our discretion. These periods could be per day, per week and per calendar month or as we deem fit.

Transfer authorisation

Transfers(Withdrawals) on our consumer application begin by 11AM daily. When you initiate a transfer or withdrawal request, you are requesting that we initiate an electronic transfer from your Klasha account, on your behalf. You agree that such requests constitute your authorisation to Klasha to make the transfer, and once you have provided your authorisation for the transfer, you will not be able to cancel the electronic transfer and Klasha may resubmit any debit you authorised that is returned for insufficient or uncollected funds, except as otherwise provided by applicable law.

Wallet funding

In order to fund your Klasha wallet with a debit or credit card, you must first add a card as an eligible funding source to your Klasha Account via the Klasha Site or App. By connecting your card as a funding source, you are pre-authorising recurring transfers by Klasha from that funding source.

If you add your card as a funding source to your Klasha Account, you represent that:

1. • You are the owner of the funding source;

   • You are authorised to transfer funds from that funding source; and

   • You authorise us to initiate debits from your funding source according to your instructions.

Any authorisations to debit a funding source will remain in full force and effect until you cancel the authorisation by removing the funding source. You can remove your card as a funding source on the Klasha App.

Virtual card fee

1. • Applicable fees: Applicable fees are charged for virtual card creation and transactions. These fees may be removed, increased, or decreased from time to time by Klasha.

   • Card denial request: A fee of $0.5 will be charged for every denial visa request (when you attempt to use your card without an available balance).

   • Card termination: The card will be terminated if repeatedly declined due to insufficient funds.

Payment delay or refusal

We reserve the right to delay or refuse to make a payment in the following circumstances:

If the applicable law prevents us from making the payments or if it requires us to carry out further due diligence before making the payment;

1. • If you have not complied with the Terms in a way that we reasonably believe justifies us delaying or refusing the payment

   • If there is not enough money available in your account to make the payment or cover transaction costs

   • If processing the payment with contradict any portion of these Terms or if your instruction does not contain the requisite information for us to make proper payment;

   • If the amount is over or would take you over, any limits that applies to your account;

   • If we find that an insolvency order has been made against by a court; or

   •If we have suspended your account.

You will get a notification when we refuse to make payment and you may contact us through support@klasha.com or our other established channels to get clarity and resolve the issue.

Klasha will not be responsible for any direct or indirect losses which you may suffer as a result of the exercise of our rights to delay or refuse payments into or from your accounts.

Foreign exchange fluctuation

Exchange rates fluctuate constantly and thereby give rise to risk and uncertainty. We will publish the applicable exchange rates at which we settle transactions. You agree that your transactions on the Platform shall be effected and settled at the prevailing market rate in freely convertible currency on the date of transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that at certain times, the exchange rate at which you make deposits will not be exchange rates at which your withdrawals will be settled. 

Without prejudice to the foregoing, you agree that you will not trade, hedge or participate in any foreign exchange related activity that will impair the delivery of our Services or interfere with the use of our Services by other persons. 

Payment disputes

If you believe that an unauthorised or otherwise problematic transaction has taken place, you agree to notify us immediately, to enable us to take action to help prevent financial loss.

All claims against us related to payments should be made within 30 (thirty) days after the date of such payment. It will be taken that you waive all claims against us, to the fullest extent of the law after the said period of time.

If you enter into a transaction with a third party and have a dispute over the goods or services you purchased, we have no liability for such goods or services. Our only involvement with regard to such a transaction is as a payment gateway.

We may intervene in disputes between users and merchants concerning payments but have no obligation to do so.

Your transaction ID and/or transaction details will be required to resolve all disputes. 

Payment recall 

Once Klasha initiates a payment on behalf of a customer and the payment reaches the account of the beneficiary for the purpose of such transaction, the payment process is deemed successful. Klasha will not be liable for any issues that may arise in relation to any obligation of the beneficiary to the customer with regards to such payment or be involved in any dispute over the goods or services purchased. 

In relation to contentious transactions, Klasha only acts as a payment gateway and will not be liable to recall such a payment or initiate a refund. Requests for the recall or refund of a payment should be directed at the beneficiary of said payment. 

Reversal of payment

Klasha reserves the right to reverse funds that have been disbursed in a transaction where:

1. • There is suspicion of fraud or fraudulent activity;

   • The payment scheme, funding source, or other financial institution refuses to settle the transaction;

   • The transaction amount was, in fact, not authorised; or

   • Any other circumstance Klasha deems necessary.

Reversals/Refunds from virtual cards may take up to 45 to 90 days to appear in your card. In cases where your card is no longer available, it is processed back to the wallet which was the source of the card funding and at the same funding rate.

We may decline to act upon a refund instruction, or delay execution of the instruction, if: (i) it would cause your Account balance to become negative; (ii) you are the subject of Insolvency Proceedings; or (iii) where we otherwise believe that there is a risk that you will not meet your liabilities under this Agreement (including with respect to the charge that is the subject of the refund instruction)

   D. You are liable for all losses you incur when lost or stolen payment credentials or accounts are used to purchase your products or services. Klasha will not insure you against losses caused by fraud under any circumstances.

   C. Our pricing can be found on our website and may be updated occasionally on https://www.klasha.com/pricing.

   D. You must pay, or ensure that Klasha is able to collect, Fees and other amounts you owe under this Agreement when due. Klasha may deduct, recoup, or set off agreed Fees and other agreed amounts you owe under this Agreement, from your Account balance, or invoice you for those amounts.

   • (1) any Refunds; and any chargebacks and/or fines from any of the card schemes including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover® Global Network, or any affiliate network hosting these cards.

Klasha will send to your designated bank or settlement account (Bank Account) all amounts settled and due to you from your transactions, minus our fees as stated in the Fee Schedule, any Reversals, Chargebacks, Refunds, or other agreed amounts that you owe to Klasha under this Agreement (Pay-out). If the Pay-out is insufficient to cover the amounts due, you agree that we may debit your Account for the applicable amounts and/or set off the applicable amounts against future Pay-outs.

   B. After the funds is initiated to your Bank Account, we will update the information on your Klasha Business Dashboard to reflect the settlement. Information regarding your transactions that are processed and settled using Klasha (Transaction History) will be available to you when you log in to your Klasha Business Dashboard. While we will provide Transaction History in your Klasha Business Dashboard, you are solely responsible for compiling and retaining permanent records of all transactions and other data associated with your Account as may be required for your business. Klasha is not responsible for maintaining Transaction History or other records in a manner consistent with your record retention obligations.

VIII. PAY-OUT SCHEDULE

1. A. Your Pay-out Schedule is the time it takes us to initiate a transfer to your Bank Account. We reserve the right to change your Pay-out Schedule, suspend payouts to your Bank Account, or initiate a Reversal if required by law or court order.

   B. Payouts will be settled T+1 for all collections or where the merchant opts for instant settlement, 15% of the wallet balance will be withheld to account for chargebacks or refunds.

   C. The Company shall act as an intermediary to facilitate payouts to its designated beneficiaries on behalf of the Merchant. Payouts shall be conducted in accordance with Merchant's instructions and Klasha would not be liable for errors, omissions, and payout-related delays except in cases of gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

   D. In the rare event there is a delay in payouts due to our banking partners or payout partners, the entire period of the bank event, RFI or recall needs to be seen through per the bank’s timelines. Klasha cannot control the timelines the bank provides. We are unable to provide refunds of any funds for these events. The bank process must be seen through until they clear or recall the funds back to the original position. 

   E. In rare circumstances where Klasha chooses to provide a refund for Klasha Wire/cross-border wire services due to circumstances which have been reasonably deemed outside the merchant's control, the destination currency shall serve as the reference currency for the refund. The request shall be regarded and processed as a separate (new) transaction in accordance with Klasha rates at the date of the request for the refund, subject to the full value having been received in Klasha’s position. Should there be any disparity between the original and the refunded source currency amount, Klasha shall not be liable for the difference.

   F. For cross-border wire transactions, Klasha does not refund source currencies under any circumstances. Once the source funds have been sent to us the customer will be settled in their chosen settlement currency in 1-5 working days providing any events outlined in section D do not occur.

   G. Without prejudice to the Pay-out Schedule stated on your Klasha Business Dashboard (1-5 business days). On rare occasions, actual pay-outs may be delayed due to exceptional circumstances, such as your account being flagged by our Regulated/ Approved Third Parties or banks, or the need for additional information by us or our Approved Third Parties to be able to handle the processing and settlement of the pay-outs. In the event of such delays, we will inform you of the delay and the reason for the said delay.

   H. You are not entitled to any interest or other compensation associated with the settlement funds held by Klasha pending settlement and Pay-out to your Bank Account Settlement funds will be held in a deposit account at Klasha pending Pay-outs to you in accordance with the terms of this contract.

IX. SECURITY AND FRAUD CONTROLS

1. A. You are responsible for assessing the security requirements of your business and selecting and implementing security procedures and controls (Security Controls) appropriate to mitigate your exposure to security incidents. We provide Security Controls as part of the Services as detailed on the Site. We may also suggest that you implement specific Security Controls. However, the Security Controls we provide or recommend do not relieve you of your responsibility for keeping your business secure. If you believe the Security Controls we recommend or provide are insufficient, you must separately implement additional controls that meet your needs. You must also promptly notify Klasha of any security breaches, misuse, suspected fraudulent transactions, or suspicious activities, as well as any necessary corrective measures.

   B. Fraudulent transactions shall include but not be limited to:

   • 1. Any purchase of goods and services and/or transaction arising from the use of a card by a person other than the authorised cardholder.

   • 2. Use of a card that is not authorised in terms of the rules governing the issuance and use of cards.

   C. Klasha is not liable or responsible to you and you waive any right to bring a claim against us for any losses that result from the use of lost or stolen credentials or unauthorised use or modification of your Account unless such losses result from Klasha’s wilful or intentional actions. Further, you will fully reimburse us for any losses we incur that result from the use of lost or stolen credentials or accounts.

   D. In the event that fraudulent transactions account for more than 0.10% of the Merchant’s sales turnover in any one (1) month, Klasha may, in addition to any other remedy available to it, be entitled to unilaterally terminate this Agreement forthwith and/or request the Merchant to delist the affected customer from the use of the platform and terminate the Merchant Agreement with the affected Customer.

   E. Merchant agrees that it will always be responsible for the actions of;

   • 1. the Merchant’s customers; and

   • 2. The Merchant’s employees

   • 3. including fraudulent acts or omission not traceable to the contributory negligence of Klasha.

   F. The Merchant agrees that, in the event the Merchant requests to receive its funds from Klasha in the form of USDC and provides a digital wallet address to Klasha to effect such transfer, the Merchant will only provide a digital wallet address to receive such funds for a wallet that is hosted by a financial institution that is subject to the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA") and that complies with all anti-money laundering requirements in the BSA. If the Merchant proposes to use a wallet that is not hosted by a BSA-regulated financial institution to receive USDC from Klasha the Merchant agrees to provide written notice to Klasha at least 30 days prior to such use, and Klasha reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement

X. NOTIFICATION OF ERRORS

1. A. You must notify us immediately if any error is detected while reconciling transactions that have occurred using Klasha. We will investigate and rectify the errors where verified. In the event that we notice any errors, we will also investigate and rectify such errors.

   • (1) Where we owe you money as a result of such errors, we will refund the amounts owed to you by a bank transfer to your bank account not later than 72 hours.

   • (2) Failure to notify us within 45 (forty-five) days of the occurrence of an error will be deemed a waiver of your rights to amounts that are owed to you due to an error.

XI. CHARGEBACKS

1. A. A Chargeback usually happens when a customer files directly with or disputes through his or her credit or debit card issuer a payment on their bill. It may result in the reversal of a transaction. You may be assessed chargebacks for (i) customer disputes; (ii) unauthorised or improperly authorised transactions; (iii) transactions that do not comply with Card Network Rules or the terms of this Agreement or are allegedly unlawful or suspicious; or (iv) any reversals for any reason by the Card Network, our processor, or the acquiring or issuing banks. Where a Chargeback occurs, you are immediately liable for all claims, expenses, fines, and liability we incur arising out of that Chargeback and agree that we may recover these amounts by debiting your settlement position or bank account. Where these amounts are not recoverable through your Bank Account, you agree to pay all such amounts through any other means possible.

XII. RESERVES

1. A. In our sole discretion, we will place a 15% Reserve of your Pay-outs for Klasha Pay and Payment Links by holding for a minimum period of 60 days where we believe there is a high level of risk associated with your business. If we take such steps, we will provide you with the terms of the Reserve which may include the percentage of your Pay-outs to be held back, the period of time, and any other such restrictions that Klasha may deem necessary. Where such terms are changed, we will notify you. You agree that you will remain liable for all obligations related to your transactions even after the release of any Reserve. In addition, we may require you to keep your Bank Account available for any open settlements, Chargebacks, and other adjustments.

   B. To secure your performance of this Agreement, you grant Klasha a legal claim to the funds held in the Reserve as a lien or security interest for amounts payable by you.

XIII. SET-OFF

1. A. We may, without notice, set off any debts or liabilities due from you to us under this Agreement against any debts or liabilities owed by us to you, regardless of the place of payment or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, we may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual business course for the setoff.

   B. We are also entitled to defer any settlement or any other sum due to you to the extent that we consider necessary or appropriate to protect our ability to recover the Fees and/or the sums or any other of your liabilities (actual or anticipated, including Chargebacks) in connection with this Agreement.

   C. Suppose we reasonably suspect that a transaction may be fraudulent or involve other criminal activity. In that case, we may suspend the processing of that transaction and any connected transaction or withhold settlement until the satisfactory completion of any investigation. The Merchant shall not be entitled to any interest or other compensation whatsoever in respect of suspension or delay in receiving Payment.

   D. The exercise by Klasha of any of its rights under this clause shall be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies (including but not limited to set-off) to which Klasha is otherwise entitled (by operation of law, contract, or otherwise).

XIV. REFUNDS

1. A. You are solely responsible for accepting and processing refunds for your products and services. We are under no obligation to process refunds of your products and services or to respond to your customers’ inquiries about returns of your products and services.

   B. If you are suspected or found to be carrying out of fraudulent transactions or activities on our platform, your payouts may be held and the funds used to treat chargebacks or fraud claims.
