Terms of Use

Last Updated 23 March 2022

 

Welcome to the CardsPal App. We are an all-in-1 credit card comparison mobile application that allows you to make the most of your cards. For the avoidance of doubt, the CardsPal mobile Application (“App”) and CardsPal’s website (“Site”) are owned by CardsPal Pte. Ltd. (each and collectively referred to as “CardsPal”, “us” “our” and/or “we”).

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. YOUR USE OF THE APP AND THE SITE IS GOVERNED BY THESE TERMS OF USE AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY. YOUR USE AND ACCESS TO THE APP, THE SITE, AND/OR ANY OF OUR SERVICES SHALL CONSTITUTE AN ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE YOUR ACCESS OR USE OF THE APP AND THE SITE. 

These Terms of Use shall take effect when you click on the “I Accept” button or check box presented with these Terms of Use or, if earlier when you use any part of the Site or the App. You represent that you are lawfully able to agree to these Terms of Use. 

You confirm that any person who uses your login credentials is authorised to access and use the App and/or Site on your behalf. You shall be liable for all actions performed under your CardsPal account. The use of our services, App and/or Site is limited to users that are of legal age and who have the legal capacity to enter into and form contracts.

 

Products and services

 

CardsPal and CardsPal merchants (“Merchants”) may offer products and/or services for sale through promotions, discounts, rebates and/or other offers (“Deals”) on the App.  You acknowledge that the Deals, products and/or services are subject to availability and any further terms and conditions as may be set out on the deal page.  

You agree to comply with all applicable terms and conditions and instructions of the listed Deals, including deal page terms and instructions on purchase and redemption (as applicable). Neither CardsPal nor the Merchants shall be liable for losses arising from your failure to comply with the applicable terms and instructions. 

Should you decide to purchase a Deal from a Merchant (other than CardsPal), your contract of sale is between you and the respective Merchant and will be governed by the respective Merchant’s terms and conditions and any other applicable terms. You acknowledge that we are not a party to this contract and transaction, and we accept no contractual obligation in this regard.

If you are purchasing any Deals from CardsPal, you acknowledge and agree that such sale shall be governed by these Terms of Use and any applicable terms and conditions relating to the sale (such as the deal page terms). In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms of Use and any deal page terms, the Terms of Use shall prevail to the extent of such inconsistency.  

You further agree and acknowledge that:

– all offers and sales are subject to the Merchant’s acceptance of the order at its sole discretion. A Merchant may, at its sole discretion, refuse to process or reject your order without giving any reasons for doing so;  

– we do not guarantee that CardsPal or a Merchant will complete a transaction; 

– unless expressly stated otherwise, CardsPal is not responsible for Deals, products and/or services offered and sold by Merchants on the App;

– while a Merchant endeavours to provide an accurate description of their products and/or services, neither CardsPal nor the Merchant warrant that such description is accurate or free from error; and

– we also do not warrant that a product or service offered by a Merchant is fit for purpose and we do not guarantee the fitness, condition or quality of the products or services.  

 

A sale is not complete until you receive a confirmation from us that your transaction has been accepted. Do note that there may be unforeseen circumstances in which CardsPal and/or a Merchant is unable to process an order despite a successful confirmation of purchase.

CardsPal reserves the right to cancel, reverse or reject any transaction (including but not limited to preventing or restricting your use of the App and/or Site) if there is any suspicion of fraudulent, illicit, unlawful and/or illegal activities being conducted.    

 

Acknowledgement

You accept and acknowledge that you have not relied on any terms, conditions, representations, warranties, undertaking or inducement made on behalf of CardsPal or our Merchants which has not been expressly stated in any applicable terms and conditions.  

 

Cancellations and Refunds

Please note that Deals once purchased are non-refundable, and vouchers issued in respect of the purchased Deals cannot be exchanged for cash. Any requests for cancellations and refunds shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of CardsPal and/or the Merchant’s. CardsPal’s decision on this shall be final.

 

Investment Products and Financial Services

The information and material on the App or the Site is not an offer, solicitation, invitation, advice or recommendation for investment products, financial instruments or financial services by us. The App and the Site do not allow you to directly buy or receive investment products, financial instruments and financial services. You may be directed to third party websites from which you will be able to complete your application. 

The App and Site do not take into account the specific investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs of any particular person, and advice should be sought from a financial adviser regarding the suitability of any product before a commitment for purchase is made. 

 

No Warranty

We are not responsible for and make no representation or warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory regarding such third parties, third party Sites, third party products or third-party providers’ services available through the App. You must comply with the applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App. Your breach of any of the contracts of sale, customer agreements and applicable terms and conditions with any Merchant or third-party provider will constitute a breach of these Terms of Use. 

 

Third-Party Providers

Your use of the App and Site may require access to or use of, and/or be in connection with, the access or use of websites, software or services of a third-party provider (for example, the platform terms from which you access the App, such as Apple App Store or Google Play Store user terms, or payment services provider terms).  

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CardsPal, the Merchants and our third-party providers accept no liability for any loss or damage, loss of profits or goodwill (including special, incidental or consequential loss or damage) arising directly or indirectly from your breach of any third-party provider terms (e.g. including your third-party service providers, such as breach of payment service provider terms). 

In the event of inconsistency between these Terms of Use and any third-party provider’s terms, these Terms of Use shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency. 

 

Disclosure of information at your own risk

Third-party websites, apps or service providers may require you to disclose personal data for your use of their services (for example, a payment service provider may require you to disclose personal identification information for verification purposes, and payment information to facilitate your use of their payment services).  

Please note that you disclose information (including personal, financial and payment information) to third-party websites and Apps at your own risk. We are not responsible or liable for the information you disclose to third party websites and Apps.  

Please ensure that you read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of any third-party website and App you access before disclosing any information to these third-party websites or Apps or using their services.
