such terms conflict, the provisions of this Addendum shall take precedence.
You agree that you have read, understood, accepted, and agreed with the GrabPay Terms of Use as well
as the terms of this Addendum. If you do not agree to the Terms of Use or the terms of this Addendum and
wish to discontinue using the Service, please do not continue using or allowing Grabpay as a
payment method for your business.

Terms and Conditions:

• MERCHANT agrees:-

• to permit the Company and/or any of the Company’s affiliates to use its
name/logo/image/trademark(s) for purposes of their marketing efforts for GrabPay,
including promotions in the Grab App, marketing materials or in any other channel
of
communication via the internet or other medium. MERCHANT also agrees that where it
has provided the Company and/or any of the Company’s affiliates with the
name/logo/image/trademark(s) belonging to any third party to be used for purposes
of advertising/marketing efforts, MERCHANT has the required permission from such
third party.

• that the Company’s liability to MERCHANT in relation to the use of Merchant GrabPay
Wallet shall be limited to the value of the balance of MERCHANT GrabPay Wallet.

• MERCHANT warrants to the Company that it is in compliance with all applicable laws, including
business registration, tax, and has all necessary licences in place for the operation of its
business.

• Any information and data provided by the Company to MERCHANT and used by MERCHANT
directly or indirectly in the performance of this Addendum shall remain at all times the property of
the Company. It shall be identified, clearly marked and recorded as such by the Company on all
media and in all documentation. MERCHANT shall take all reasonable precautions to preserve the
integrity and confidentiality of such data and information and prevent its corruption, damage,
destruction, or loss or leakage. In the event of termination of this Addendum, when directed to do
so by the Company, MERCHANT shall (and shall instruct its affiliates, agents and subcontractors
to) erase all information and data provided by the Company and all copies thereof from its data
storage systems. MERCHANT agrees to comply and have adequate measures in place
to ensure that its staff comply at all times with the provisions and obligations contained in the Data
Privacy Act of 2012 and such other applicable consumer protection legislation, as such
legislations are amended from time to time. All personal data acquired by MERCHANT from the
Company shall only be used for the purposes of this Agreement and shall not be further
processed or disclosed without the consent of such end-user and the Company.
MERCHANT shall indemnify the Company for any costs, fines, claims or expenses resulting from
any breach of this clause.

Additional Terms:

• MERCHANT agrees to offer GrabPay as a payment option, and acknowledges that, in order to
receive monies from GrabPay Users (the “Service”), MERCHANT may be required by GRAB to
download to MERCHANT’s mobile device and operate such Grab applications allowing the use of
a digital wallet and such accounts established with GRAB, from the Apple AppStore, or
the Google PlayStore as applicable.

• Where MERCHANT accepts GrabPay Credits as payments from GrabPay Users, Grab may (i)
impose a reserve of a defined percentage of the balance payable and due to MERCHANT,
in consideration of chargebacks, reversals and fraudulent transactions (if and as applicable); or (ii)
delay or suspend payment subject to GRAB’s completion of satisfactory checks (including anti-
money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism). Such reserve, delay or suspension

both parties.

approaches the defined limit, the Company will implement measures to expedite
the removal of funds from the Merchant GrabPay Wallet. The Company will
notify MERCHANT of any changes in the defined limit providing no less than ten (10)
business days’ notice thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the defined limit does not apply
to the Company’s accounts payable linked to the use of the Merchant App and/or the
Merchant GrabPay Wallet, whereby the settlement to MERCHANT’s designated bank
account is set on a daily basis or other settlement terms as may be determined by the
Company from time to time.
