We will notify you of any such changes to your account name as soon as reasonably practicable.

The Customer may appoint an Authorised User to act on its behalf to conduct certain transactions or give instructions to Waka under the Terms. The Customer must set up each Authorised User with a User Profile and promptly provide Waka with the following details of any of the proposed Authorised Users: name of the Customer, name of the Authorised User, address and billing address of the Customer, phone and email address of the Authorised User, and any other contact or identification information of the Authorised User that Waka may reasonably require. The Customer will ensure that the Authorised Users comply with the Terms and in respect of the Customer's obligations and liabilities under the Terms, references to 'Customer', 'you' and 'your' shall (where the context requires) be read as including its Authorised Users.

The Customer agrees that:

the Authorised Users have the authority and capacity to provide instructions for the provision of Services to Waka on the Customer's behalf;
Waka will rely on the authority of the Authorised User, and the Customer will be bound by the actions of the Authorised Users, until the Customer provides Waka with written notice withdrawing or otherwise varying the authority of an Authorised User;
the Customer is responsible for ensuring that the appropriate person(s) is (or are) accorded the necessary authority to act as the Authorised Users;
Waka may reasonably refuse access to the Authorised User(s) if Waka is concerned about unauthorised or fraudulent access; and
the Customer will promptly report to Waka any infringements or unauthorised access to the Waka Platform, including the Webapp, or any Service.

CUSTOMER DUE DILIGENCE

To meet our obligations under Applicable Law, before we provide our Services to you and from time to time during our provision of Services to you, we may, acting reasonably, carry out customer due diligence checks on you, your directors, partners, ultimate beneficial owners, and employees (as relevant) and Authorised Users together with any parties involved in your transactions or use of the Services. You must provide us with complete, accurate, and up-to-date information at all times. You will promptly provide any additional information we require at any time, at the latest within two (2) Business Days of a request from us.

You agree that our provision of, and your ability to use, the Services is subject to:

successful completion of the initial, and any subsequent, customer due diligence checks including credit evaluations (if applicable); and
there being no material changes to your profile status during the term of the Terms.

You agree to the identity verification requirement and represent and warrant that each person referred to above or that you have provided us information about who we are required to identify also agrees to the Identity Verification Terms.

ABOUT THE SERVICES

Waka provides various types of Services which you may choose to use from time to time. These Services may include collection services, payout services, foreign exchange services, online payment acceptance services, and technology services. By using the Services, you also agree to any additional terms specific to the Services you use (‘Additional Terms’). The Additional Terms, together with these General Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, and the Electronic Communications Consent, become part of your agreement with us (collectively, the ‘Terms').
Waka may, acting reasonably, place interim or permanent restrictions on the use of all or any part of the Services depending on certain regulatory requirements, the Customer's country of residence, identity verification checks or business requirements, as described in the Acceptable Use Policy. Such restrictions will be communicated to the Customer, at the time the restriction is put in place or, if that is not practical due to urgent or unforeseen circumstances, promptly after the restriction is put in place.
Third Parties. The Services may enable the Customer to link to, transfer data to, or otherwise access Third Party Services. If the Customer enables Third Party Services for use with the Services, Customer agrees that Waka may enable third party providers of such Third Party Services to access Customer data for the interoperation of such Third Party Services with the Services. Waka does not provide nor control Third Party Services, and is not responsible for any aspect of Third Party Services that the Customer may procure or access to through the Services. Any exchange of data or other interaction between the Customer and a provider of Third Party Services is solely between the Customer and such provider pursuant to a separate privacy policy or other agreement governing the Customer’s access to, or use of, Third Party Services.

The Customer acknowledges that: (a) the nature, type, quality, and availability of Third Party Services may change at any time during the term of this agreement; and (b) features of the Services that interoperate with Third Party Services depend on the continuing availability of such Third Party Services providers’ respective application programming interfaces (“APIs”). Waka may need to update, change or modify the Services under this agreement as a result of a change in, or unavailability of, such Third Party Services or APIs. If any provider of Third Party Services ceases to make its Third Party Services or APIs available on reasonable terms for the Services, as determined by Waka in its sole discretion, Waka may cease providing access to the affected Third Party Services without any liability to the Customer.

The Customer will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that no unauthorised person will or could access the Waka Profile, any of the Services or other features of the Waka Platform. The Customer will not interfere with, disrupt, or cause any damage to other users of the Waka Platform, or the Services.
Disclaimers. To the extent permitted by law, Waka makes no warranties, guarantees or representations of any kind with respect to the Waka Platform, or the Services. All warranties, conditions and terms, whether express or implied by statute, common law or otherwise (including any implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality or fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement of third party rights) given by Waka are excluded to the extent permitted by law. In particular, Waka:

does not make any commitments about the content or data within the Waka Platform, the specific functions of the Services or its accuracy, reliability, availability or ability to meet the Customer's needs;
does not guarantee that the Services will operate uninterrupted or error-free, will always be available, contains and/or displays information that is current or up-to-date, and will be free from bugs or viruses, or never be faulty;
may occasionally have to interrupt the Customer's use of the Services for operational, security or other reasonable reasons. In such a case, Waka will restore access as quickly as practicable; and
does not offer financial advice and the Customer must not treat any information or comments by Waka as financial advice.

Australian Consumer Law. To the extent that you acquire goods or services from Waka as a consumer within the meaning of Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (the ‘Australian Consumer Law’), you have certain rights and remedies (including consumer guarantee rights) that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified by agreement (including the Terms). Nothing in the Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any such rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law. To the extent that the Australian Consumer Law permits Waka to limit its liability, then Waka’s liability is limited to: (a) in the case of services, supplying the services again or payment of the cost of having the services supplied again; and (b) in the case of goods, replacing the goods, supplying equivalent goods or repairing the goods, or payment of the cost of replacing the goods, supplying equivalent goods or having the goods repaired.

BETA SERVICES

You acknowledge and agree that Waka may indicate that certain Services are provided as 'beta', 'pilot', 'invite-only', 'limited release' or 'pre-release' features or services ('Beta Services').
You acknowledge and understand that:

Beta Services are incomplete and still in development, may contain bugs or errors, may materially change prior to a full commercial launch (if any), and may never be released commercially;
we provide all Beta Services on as 'as-is' basis, and without warranty of any kind, and your use of, or reliance on any such features and services is done at your own risk;
we have no obligation whatsoever to provide any bug fixes, error corrections, patches, or service packs for, or any revisions, successors, or updated versions to, Beta Services (or any part of them) during your use of any Beta Services, however, if we provide or makes available any update to Beta Services, you must fully implement the applicable update within the time period specified by Waka or within thirty (30) days after we make the update available to you (whichever is earlier);
we may make updates, changes, repairs, or conduct maintenance at any time, and with or without notice, which may result in changes in the availability or quality of Beta Services. In addition, Waka may suspend your access to Beta Services with or without notice, including if we reasonably believe that:

suspension is required by Applicable Law;
continuing to provide the Beta Services would make Waka in breach of any obligation that Waka owes to a third party; or
Waka determines that continuing to provide the Beta Services would give rise to an unacceptable security or privacy risk; and

we may terminate your access to the Beta Services if we in our sole discretion stop offering the Beta Services completely, or within your geographic jurisdiction.

Waka may, in its discretion, provide Beta Services to the Customer free of charge.

SERVICE FEES

In consideration for the Services, the Customer will pay to Waka the Service Fees. The Service Fees are charged separately depending on the Service used by the Customer or as otherwise agreed in writing with us.
Invoices. In respect of certain Services, Waka may invoice the Customer for amounts due or payable under the Terms on a monthly basis.
Any invoices issued by Waka must be paid by the Customer in a timely manner in order for the Customer to continue their access to the Services and no later than the date specified on the invoice. If full payment is not received on time, Waka may suspend the Customer's use of the Services and access to any associated accounts until Waka receives the full invoiced payment.
Tax. All amounts payable to Waka under the Terms are exclusive of all taxes and similar fees now in force or enacted in the future, which the Customer will be responsible for and will pay in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding unless prohibited by Applicable Law. Where the Customer is obliged by Applicable Law to deduct withholding tax from any payment made to Waka:

the Customer will promptly notify Waka of the requirement;
the Parties will make all necessary filings in order to ensure the provisions of any applicable tax treaty applies to the payment;
the Customer will pay to Waka such additional amount as will result in the receipt by Waka of the full amount which would otherwise have been receivable had no withholding or deduction been payable;
the Customer will pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld when due; and
the Customer will promptly forward to Waka an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Waka, evidencing payment to such authorities.

Waka may deduct any amounts that the Customer owes Waka from time to time from the funds Waka collects or receives as part of the Services or from any amount provided as security pursuant to clause 9.6 of these General Terms. If the Customer does not have enough funds to pay the amount owed to Waka, Waka may, at the Customer's cost, take reasonable steps to recover this amount (such as taking legal action or using debt collection services).
Security. Waka may, at any time, require that the Customer procures, within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as the Parties agree) after receiving Waka's written request, a guarantee, indemnity or other security (including the replacement of any existing security) in such form and over such assets as Waka may reasonably require to secure to its reasonable satisfaction the performance of the Customer's obligations (including contingent or potential obligations) from time to time under the Terms.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Waka Marks. All Waka Marks owned or used by Waka in the course of its business are the property of Waka. Waka reserves all Intellectual Property Rights in relation to the use of the Waka Marks. The Customer may not use the Waka Marks or any similar marks without the prior written consent of Waka.

Feedback. If the Customer provides us with any comments, questions, ideas, suggestions or other feedback relating to the Waka Platform or any of the Services (‘Feedback’), the Customer agrees that we may freely use, copy, disclose, license, distribute and exploit such Feedback in any manner without any obligation, royalty or restriction based on Intellectual Property Rights or otherwise.

Where Waka exercises a right of suspension, we will give the Customer notice of suspension where possible and the reasons for such suspension, either before the suspension is put in place, or immediately after, unless it would compromise Waka's reasonable security measures or otherwise be unlawful. Waka will use commercial reasonable endeavours to remove the suspension as soon as practicable after the reasons for the suspension have ceased to exist.
On termination you will need to repay any money you owe us. In the circumstances set out in clause 16.2, we may charge you for reasonable costs, expenses and losses we incur (including those due to any action we may take to cover or reduce the exposure).

If the liabilities to be set off are expressed in different currencies, we may convert either liability at a market rate of exchange for the purpose of set-off.
