In creating an Account, you must provide us with accurate and complete registration information as prompted during the registration process, including your name, a valid email address that functions as your username, and a password, subject to certain requirements. Each Account registration is for a single user only. You shall not misrepresent your identity or your affiliation with any person or organisation, and you are not allowed to use another user’s Account for any purpose whatsoever.

You may access the profile associated with your Account (“Profile”) on the App when you are logged in. When you access your Profile, you can edit certain information, including your email address and password or any additional information. You can also contact us directly at support@klasha.com to edit your information. Your responsibility is to ensure your contact information is accurate and up to date.

Such identification documents include your Bank Verification Number (BVN) and a valid identification document such as a Driver’s License, Voters Card, National Identification Number, and International Passport.

We may terminate or suspend access to the Site or the App immediately, without prior notice or liability to you, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach these Terms or any of the other agreements we may have.

We also reserve the right to terminate your account if we reasonably suspect that your account is used for fraudulent transactions. This shall be without prejudice to our rights to make a report to law enforcement.

Consequently, you will not receive any further communications from us unless and until you create a new Account or you otherwise request that we provide communications to you.

All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

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 limitations 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.

Bank transfer authorisation

When your bank account is used as your funding source for a transaction, you are requesting that we initiate an electronic transfer from your bank account on your behalf. You agree that such requests constitute your authorisation to Klasha to make the transfer, and once you have provided your consent 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.

Funding source

Payments made by Klasha on your behalf are settled to an authorised funding source. In order to use Klasha’s Payment Services, you must first add an eligible funding source to your Klasha Account via the Klasha Site or App. By connecting a funding source, you are pre-authorising recurring transfers by Klasha from that funding source.

If you add 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 a funding source on the Klasha App. 

Virtual card fee

1. Virtual card creation fee: The virtual card costs $2.00 and this fee is charged at the creation of the card. This fee may be removed, increased or decreased from time to time by Klasha.•Card to card transaction fee: A fee of $0.3 + 1.2% of the value of transaction will be charged for card to card transactions on the virtual card.

   •Card denial request: A fee of $0.3 will be charged for every denial visa request (when you attempt to use your card without available balance).

Payment delay or refusal

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

1. •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;

   •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 contradicts 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 apply to your account;

   •If we find that an insolvency order has been made against us 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 issuer.

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 constantly fluctuate 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 the exchange rate 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 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 from virtual cards may take 10 to 15 working days and up to 45 days on rare occasions to appear in your account.

Klasha’s modern slavery statement

Introduction

This statement applies to Klasha, Inc. and Klasha Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries (together, “Klasha”). At Klasha, we take our responsibility seriously to ensure that our business is conducted ethically and that we actively address important social issues.

As part of this process, we recognise the harmful impact that Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking have on individuals and society, and we are committed to helping prevent these illegal practices. We also expect the same high standards from all of our contractors and other business partners.

Our organisation

Klasha is a technology company in partnership with licensed payment service providers, offering commerce payment solutions across Africa. We make it easy for merchants to accept credit and debit card payments online from users or customers.

Supply chain and partner’s due diligence

Klasha has adopted a risk-based approach in reviewing its supply chain whilst ensuring that this approach complies with legal requirements. Due to the technological nature of the services provided by Klasha, its supply chains are relatively straightforward.

In addition, as part of our initiative to identify and manage slavery and human trafficking risk, we continue to build and improve our system to better (i) identify, assess and monitor potential higher risk areas in our supply chains; and (ii) mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains through enhanced contract terms controls (to the extent appropriate and obtainable).

Our policies

This sets out our position concerning human rights and modern slavery and sits alongside our Employment Manual, Health and Safety Policy, Global Human Rights Statement, and the Global Third Party Code of Conduct.

1. i) Child labour: Klasha will not use child labour and will comply with all relevant laws in this regard. We do, however, support legitimate workplace internships and other similar programs that comply with applicable laws and regulations.

   ii) Modern slavery: Klasha will not use forced, bonded, or involuntary labour and workers are not required to lodge ‘deposits’ or identity paper with the Company and can leave after giving reasonable notice, with all wages owed to be paid. We have a zero-tolerance approach to human trafficking.

   iii) Health, safety and hygiene: All Klasha employees will work in an environment that is both safe and healthy.

   iv) Discipline: Klasha prohibits physical abuse or discipline, the threat of physical abuse, sexual or other harassment, and verbal abuse or other forms of intimidation. Disciplinary and grievance procedures are clearly documented and communicated to all employees in our Employment contract. All disciplinary measures of a serious nature are recorded and acted upon swiftly in line with our Employee Handbook and relevant laws.

   v) Working hours: Klasha will ensure that working hours are reasonable and comply with the law and industry standards.

   vi) Equality of treatment: Klasha is fully committed to eliminating discrimination in recruitments, training, and working conditions on the grounds of race, colour, sex, age, religion, political opinion, national extraction, sexual orientation, disability or social origin and to promoting equality of opportunity and treatment.

   vii) Employment terms: Klasha will provide a written and clear contract which details the terms and conditions of its staff employment. We will ensure that work performed by employees is on the basis of recognised employment law and practice.

   viii) Renumeration: Klasha will, at a minimum set by the law, provide wages and benefits that meet national standards. We will provide employees with clear written information on their pay and conditions. We are committed to equal pay and benefits for men and women for work of equal value.

Implementation

Klasha Board of directors and senior management shall have overall responsibility for implementing the MSA Policy and the objectives considered in this statement. We will monitor the progress of our efforts, and issues (should they arise) will be considered by Klasha’s Board of Directors who will decide on the immediate and appropriate action to be taken.

Effectiveness

We continue to monitor our performance against the following in order to gauge how effective we are in dealing with the risk of slavery and human trafficking in our business or suppliers/partners:

1. i) Implementation of the Modern Slavery Policy.

   ii) Developing a system for supply chain identification, including, where appropriate, adding slavery and human trafficking inquiries and controls to our procurement policies.

   iii) Where appropriate, ask specific questions on modern slavery in our terms with third parties for the supply of goods and services.

Approvals

The statement was approved by the Board of Directors of Klasha, Inc. and Klasha Technologies Limited.

Klasha merchant service agreement

This online platform (Platform), including any updates, modifications, or releases of any part of that Platform is operated by Klasha Technologies Limited (UK) (“Klasha,” “us,” or “we”). The Platform is available at www.klasha.com (Site) and may be available through other addresses or channels. Klasha is a licensed technology company that works in partnership with licensed payment service providers, offering commerce payment solutions across Africa.

The Klasha Business Account consolidates products including; KlashaWire, KlashaCheckout and, Payment Links on a single platform. KlashaWire is a B2B payments solution that allows businesses in Africa to pay suppliers overseas using local African currencies while their supplier then receives an equivalent payout amount in their currency of choice. KlashaCheckout is a payment gateway solution, enabling the processing, reconciling, and reporting of payment transactions and related operations that enable merchants/retailers to sell goods on the African continent and seamlessly receive payments online in local currencies. Payment Links is a secure solution that allows businesses with no website to request payments by creating and sharing a link, and the Klasha Business Dashboard is a web application that enables merchants/retailers to see transaction details, all collectively referred to as the Services.

COLLECTION PARTNERS

1. A. Klasha Technologies Limited (Nigeria) has been appointed to be the collection partner in Nigeria. Klasha will send to your designated bank or card 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, Invalidated Payments, Chargebacks, Refunds, or other 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 Bank Account for the applicable amounts and/or set off the applicable amounts against future Pay-outs.

   B. After the transfer of 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.

PAY-OUT SCHEDULE

1. A. Your Pay-out Schedule is the time it takes us to initiate a transfer to your Bank Account. Settled funds from card transactions processed through us are on your Klasha Business Dashboard. We reserve the right to change your Pay-out Schedule, suspend payouts to your Bank Account, or initiate a Reversal should we deem it necessary due to pending disputes, excessive or anticipated excessive Chargebacks or Refunds, or other suspicious activity associated with your use of Klasha, or if required by law or court order.

   B. Klasha guarantees that you will always be entitled to a timely pay-out or a timely refund if the pay-out does not happen within our promised Pay-out Schedule, provided your use of our Service adheres to the terms of this Agreement.

   C. Without prejudice to the Pay-out Schedule stated on your Klasha Business Dashboard (1-5 business days), actual pay-outs may be delayed due to exceptional circumstances, such as your account being flagged by our Approved Third Parties 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.

   D. 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.

   E. Settlement funds will be held in a deposit account at Klasha pending Pay-outs to you in accordance with the terms of this contract. We may periodically make available to you information about pending settlements yet to be received from Card Networks

PAYMENT PROTECTION PROMISE

1. A. Where your receiving bank does not receive the payment within the period promised, Klasha will refund the full amount to you or make a direct transfer to your receiving bank. This refund is, however, subject to the condition that we have confirmed that your monies have been received into our system and that the delay in the pay-out is not a result of a Security Control measure or an action or inaction on your part. Furthermore, in this scenario, you waive your rights to a reversal, and in the event the funds are reversed to you, you undertake to immediately repay the funds to us, using the details we provide you.

   B. Klasha will make such payments to you when you cancel the transaction within 6 hours after making payments. The payment will be credited to your Account within 2 business days after the receipt and approval of your claim.

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, your responsibility for securing your business is not diminished by any Security Controls that we provide or suggest, and if you believe that the Security Controls we provide are insufficient, then you must separately implement additional controls that meet your requirements.

   B. While we may provide or suggest security controls, we cannot guarantee that you or your Customers will never become victims of fraud. Any security controls we provide or suggest may include processes or applications developed by Klasha or approved third parties. You agree to review all the security controls we suggest and choose those that are appropriate for your business to protect against unauthorised transactions and, if appropriate for your business, independently implement other security procedures and controls not provided by us. If you disable or fail to properly use security controls, you will increase the likelihood of unauthorised transactions, disputes, fraud, losses, and other similar occurrences. Keep in mind that you are solely responsible for losses you incur from the use of lost or stolen payment credentials or accounts by fraudsters who engage in fraudulent Transactions with you, and your failure to implement Security Controls will only increase the risk of fraud. We may assist you with recovering lost funds, but you are solely responsible for losses due to lost or stolen credentials or accounts, compromise of your username or password, changes to your Pay-out account, and any other unauthorised use or modification of your Account. 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.

   C. We may also provide you with data regarding the possibility or likelihood that a transaction may be fraudulent. We may incorporate any subsequent action or inaction by you into our fraud model, for the purpose of identifying future potential fraud. You understand that we provide this data to you for your consideration but that you are ultimately responsible for any actions you choose to take or not take in relation to such data.

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.

   B. 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.

   C. 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.

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 bank account. Where these amounts are not recoverable through your Bank Account, you agree to pay all such amounts through any other means.

RESERVES

1. A. In our sole discretion, we may place a Reserve on a portion of your Pay-outs by holding for a certain period, such as a portion 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.

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 set-off.

   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).

REFUNDS

1. A. You are solely responsible for accepting and processing your products and services returns. We are under no obligation to process returns of your products and services or to respond to your customers’ inquiries about returns of your products and services. You agree to submit all Refunds for returns of your products and services paid for through Klasha to your customers per this Agreement and relevant Card Network Rules.
