In addition, specific terms and conditions (each referred to as “Specific Terms”, and collectively referred to as the “Specific Terms”) will apply to the provision of specific services and products by the Bank to you. When the Bank introduces or agrees to provide you with new services or products, the Bank will inform you of the relevant Specific Terms that apply to the provision of such new services or products, and you agree that the relevant Specific Terms will apply to the provision of the relevant new service or product by the Bank. The Specific Terms are part of these Terms. If there is any inconsistency between the General Terms and the Specific Terms, the Specific Terms will prevail to the extent of such inconsistency.

2.1 Instructions to the Bank must be given in writing (through any means specified and accepted by the Bank, including electronic means), or any other means permitted by theBank.
2.2 You may authorise a person (an “Authorised Person”) to give instructions to the Bank and operate your account on your behalf. You may apply for a person to be an Authorised Person by providing us with the details of such person in the manner specified by us. Your appointment of an Authorised Person is subject to our approval and such conditions (including providing any indemnity in favour of the Bank and any evidence that such appointment has been duly authorised) specified by us. If we approve your appointment of an Authorised Person, you will ensure that such Authorised Person is aware of and complies with these Terms. These Terms, with the necessary modifications, apply to each Authorised Person. The Bank is under no obligation to enquire as to: (a) the validity of any authority granted to any Authorised Person, (b) the purpose for which any authority granted to any Authorised Person is exercised, or (c) whether any Authorised Person is exercising the authority granted to the Authorised Person in good faith. You may remove or replace an Authorised Person by providing written notice in the manner specified by us. Such removal or replacement will take effect after we inform you that we have accepted and approved such removal or replacement. Until we have accepted and approved such removal or replacement, we are entitled to and may continue to act on any instruction from such Authorised Person that you wish to remove or replace.
2.3 The Bank will not act on any instruction other than an instruction from you or given on your behalf (including by any Authorised Person). The Bank is entitled to act and rely on any instruction that it reasonably believes to come from you or to have been given on your behalf. If we request for information, or evidence of the identity or authority of the Authorised Person or authentication before acting on any instruction, you shall promptly provide such information, evidence or authentication. Notwithstanding this, we may act and rely on any instruction without requesting for evidence of your identity, the identity of any person giving the instruction on your behalf or any authentication.
2.4 Where any instruction is given through any means that require use of a passcode or PIN to access an application or other system before giving such instruction or to provide an authentication code, you agree that the use of such passcode, PIN or authentication code is evidence that the instruction comes from you and is authorised by you. You must safeguard the confidentiality of your passcodes, PINs and authentication codes. You must not disclose any passcode, PIN or authentication code to any person or keep a record of your passcode, PIN or authentication code in any matter that enables another person to misuse your passcode, PIN or authentication code. If you know or suspect that your passcode, PIN or authentication code has been compromised, you must immediately change your password, PIN or authentication code and notify the Bank.
2.5 The Bank may request you to provide additional confirmation before acting on any instruction. Notwithstanding this, we may act and rely on any instruction without requesting for such additional confirmation.
2.6 The Bank is not responsible or liable for any Loss that you may incur as a result of us acting on any instruction that was not authorised by you or did not come from you, unless such Loss is caused by our gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud.
2.7 You are responsible for ensuring that your instructions are given on time, and are accurate, clear and complete. The Bank may request confirmation, clarification or further information from you before acting on any instruction. We will not be responsible or liable for any Loss you may incur as a result of your instructions being late, inaccurate, unclear, inadequate or incomplete, or any time taken for us to confirm or clarify your instructions, unless such Loss is caused by our gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud.
2.8 The Bank shall have the right, but is not obliged, to not act on any instruction, or to carry out
checks before acting on any instruction, if:
- we reasonably believe the instruction to be not authorised or to have not come from you;
- the instruction is unclear or incomplete, or we receive conflicting instructions;
- you do not provide any information, document, authentication or confirmation requested by us;
- we believe that you lack the mental capacity to give us instructions or operate your account;
- there are insufficient funds in your account, or if any instruction may result in your account being overdrawn or having a negative balance;
- doing so may result in a breach of any Applicable Law (including any Applicable Law relating to anti-money laundering, countering the financing of terrorism or sanctions), or if we are prohibited by any Applicable Law, any court order or any direction from any regulator from doing so;
- any event or circumstance that is not reasonably within our control prevents us from doing so; or
- there is any other reasonable ground for us to do so, including any ground on which we have a right to freeze or suspend your account under Clause A10 (Rights of the Bank) or if any Event of Default has occurred.
The Bank will not be responsible or liable for any Loss that you may incur as a result, including from any delay in carrying out your instructions, unless such Loss is caused by our gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud.

4.2 Each loan may be disbursed into your current account opened in accordance with the Business Account Terms or any other business account maintained with the Bank, as we may permit or prescribe from time to time, where such account is held in the same name as that for the GXS FlexiLoan Biz Account. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the disbursement account number contained in your application for each loan. We are not responsible for verifying or ensuring that the disbursement account is your account. If you have provided an incorrect account number, we will not be liable or obliged to recall any loan(s) so disbursed and such loan(s) shall be repayable by you in accordance with these Terms. We will not be liable for any Loss that you may incur as a result.

5. Repayment
5.1 Each loan drawn from your available credit limit shall be repaid in equal monthly instalments (together with interest accrued) over its selected tenure. During the drawdown of your first loan, you may select your preferred monthly repayment date. The monthly repayment date for subsequent loans will follow the monthly repayment date for the first loan.

5.3 You will have at least one (1) month from the drawdown date of a loan to make your first monthly repayment.

6.1 The Bank has sole discretion to determine the interest rate applicable to your loan.
6.2 Interest for each loan drawn will begin to accrue from its drawdown date.
6.3 Interest will be calculated on a daily reducing principal basis without compounding interest. This means that as the principal balance of each loan reduces over the repayment period, your total interest payable reduces correspondingly.
