6. 1 In consideration of your use of the Solutions, you shall pay to Tabsquare the subscription fees and/or all other payments set out in the SO ("Subscription Fees"). The fees for the Hardware will be stated in the SO as well ("Hardware Fees").

6. 2 Upon signing of the SO, Tabsquare will forward to you an invoice in respect of the Subscription Fees and Hardware Fees payable by you to Tabsquare.

6. 3 Tabsquare's Partners may charge certain fees and/or revenue shares or other monetisation commissions for providing Partner Services to you ("Partner Fees"), and you shall pay such Partner Fees as required by such Partner. Where applicable, Tabsquare shall have the right to deduct such Partner Fees from the Collected Amount (as defined below).

6. 4 In addition to the Subscription Fees and Partner Fees, Tabsquare will charge a transaction fee calculated as a percentage commission on the transaction value of each Order placed by customers via the Solutions as charges for processing the Orders and payments through the Solutions ("Transaction Fees"). The Subscription Fees and Transaction Fees, together with relevant payment instructions, are set out in the SO.

6. 5 The Partner Fees and Transaction Fees (collectively "Payment Gateway Fees") stated in the SO are largely based on the prevailing interchange fees, scheme fees and other related charges imposed by card networks such as Visa and MasterCard and/or Tabsquare's Partner. Any changes to these underlying third-party fees may result in corresponding adjustments to the applicable Payment Gateway Fees. Please note that TabSquare reserves the right to amend or introduce alternative fee structure for the Payment Gateway Fees in the form of (i) by implementing blended rates for domestic card transactions, which may apply uniformly regardless of the existing payment method used; and/or (ii) by applying additional markups (e.g. a fixed percentage) on international card transactions.

6. 6 New Payment Methods: From time to time, TabSquare may introduce new payment methods (including but not limited to e-wallets or other digital payment channels) into its Solution. The use of such payment methods may be subject to new or different Payment Gateway Fees, depending on the terms imposed by the respective card networks and/or Tabsquare's Partners. TabSquare reserves the right to revise existing Payment Gateway Fees or introduce new rates in line with the applicable third-party costs.

6. 7 In any of the scenarios described under Clause 6 of this SO, you will be notified of any such changes in writing, and the revised or new rates shall take effect 15 calendar days from the date of notification, unless otherwise agreed. If you do not agree to such changes in Fees, you shall inform Tabsquare within 15 calendar days of being notified of such changes, and Tabsquare shall cease to make available the relevant Partner Services to you. If you do not inform us within the 15-day time period and continue to use the Partner Services, you shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to pay such Payment Gateway Fees.

6. 8 Payment Method Configuration and User Interface Control: Tabsquare reserves the sole and absolute right to determine, manage, modify, enable, disable, or otherwise configure the availability, presentation and behaviour of specific payment methods offered through its integration payment solution. This includes but is not limited to the right to determine, reorder, or remove any payment methods, as well as to control their placement and visibility within the user interface, customer journey or to remove specific options or payment methods at any time, at Tabsquare's sole discretion. You acknowledge that the selection and configuration of payment methods may vary from time to time due to commercial, technical, or operational reasons, including changes imposed by Tabsquare's Partner. Tabsquare shall not be required to seek your prior approval or provide prior notice of such changes, provided that such changes do not materially disrupt the overall functionality of the Solutions.

6. 9 Unless otherwise specified in the SO, payment of the total invoice amount, without offset or deduction, is due 7 days from the invoice date. On any past due invoices, Tabsquare may charge interest from the payment due date to the date of payment at the rate of two percent per month (or the applicable statutorily mandated rate if the rate provided herein is deemed excessive), plus reasonable attorney fees and collection costs.

6. 10 Settlement: (a) Where applicable, for each settlement period as set out in the SO, Tabsquare's Partner will receive all amounts paid by customers on all Orders ("Collected Amount"). At the end of each settlement period, Tabsquare's Partner shall deduct the relevant Partner Fees, Transaction Fees and any other applicable fees from the Collected Amount and pay the remainder to you via bank transfer to your nominated bank account. TabSquare's Partner may also deduct the Transaction Fees, Partners Fees and any other amounts that remain outstanding from your side from this Collected Amount. (b) You shall notify Tabsquare or Tabsquare's Partner within a timeframe of not exceeding 5 working days if you discover that any payout or settlement is incorrect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tabsquare's liability for any inaccurate payout shall be limited and restricted to the payout applicable to this specified duration.

6. 11 You shall be solely responsible for any matters relating to tax or additional fees arising from your use of the Solutions, Hardware and Partner Services. Where applicable, any payout or settlement to you from Tabsquare may be subject to applicable tax laws including withholding, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments. Tabsquare agrees to notify you should any applicable tax be payable and the parties shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to take advantage of any applicable double taxation agreement or treaty to mitigate their tax risks.

7. Refund

You shall promptly instruct Tabsquare if you intend to issue any refund of payment on any Order to any customer and Tabsquare shall carry out such refund in accordance with your instructions. In such event, Tabsquare shall not receive any commission in respect of such refunded Order. Where applicable, any fees payable by you to Tabsquare in respect of such refunded Order shall be pro-rated based on the amount refunded in proportion to the full value of the Order. Tabsquare reserves the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee for any refunds instructed by you. The refunded amount, together with any administrative fee, will be deducted from the Collected Amount and you are not entitled to receive any payment from Tabsquare on any refunded Order.

8. Chargebacks and Reversals

8. 1 Tabsquare reserves the right at all times to:

  1. impose a reserve of a defined percentage of the transaction value of any relevant Order, in the event Tabsquare reasonably suspects there to be chargebacks, reversals, and/or fraudulent Orders, which the reserve percentage will be agreed upon during an underwriting exercise; and
  2. delay or suspend payment to you subject to TabSquare's completion of satisfactory checks (including anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism) where applicable. Such reserve, delay or suspension shall be notified to you in writing as soon as reasonably practicable.

8. 2 In the event of any successful chargeback or reversal on any Order, the amount that was charged-back or reversed, together with any charge-back or reversal fee imposed by the payment processor or Tabsquare's Partner shall be deducted from the Collected Amount and you are not entitled to receive any payment from Tabsquare on any charged-back or reversed Order.

9. Disputed Transactions

Tabsquare shall not entertain disputes by any customers or entity for claims of unsatisfactory services or Orders provided by you and you remain fully responsible for handling such disputes. Unless specifically agreed in writing otherwise, you shall bear the full liability for disputed services and Orders provided by you. Where an Order is subject to any form of claim, dispute, chargeback, partial or complete refund and Tabsquare has to investigate or handle such claim, Tabsquare may impose an additional administrative fee and may apply such part of the Collected Amount towards payment of its costs involved in such handling, including any refund of such disputed Order to the customer, fees for transaction processing and dispute handling, and any additional fee imposed by external partners such as chargeback fees as well as investigation fees.

10. Maintenance and Support Services

During the valid subscription period, Tabsquare shall provide remote maintenance of the Solutions to ensure efficient operations of the Solutions. You shall ensure that the Hardware is in good operating condition to enable the Solutions to function effectively. The on-site maintenance will be provided between 10.00am to 10.00pm from Monday to Saturday excluding public holidays. If your outlet is located outside of Singapore, in addition to TabSquare's scale of charges, you shall be responsible for the travel and living expenses of the Tabsquare personnel providing the on-site maintenance service.

11. 5 For the purposes of Clauses 11.2, 11.3 and 11.4, TabSquare may maintain an online repository containing all relevant TabSquare Policies, Partner Policies and New Partner Policies, which is available at www.tabsquare.ai/policyrepository/ ("Policy Repository").

12. Confidentiality and Use of Information

12. 1 If either party receives from the other party written information marked "Confidential" and/or "Proprietary," the receiving party agrees not to use such information except in the performance of these Terms, and to treat such information in the same manner as it treats its own confidential information.
