Traveller Agreement Introduction
This Traveller Service Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between
ZapLah Pte. Ltd. (“ZapLah”, “we”, “us” or “our”) and the person accepting
this Agreement and acting as a traveller through the ZapLah Services
(“Traveller”, “you” or “your”).
This Agreement supplements and forms part of the ZapLah Terms of Service
(“Terms”). Capitalised terms not defined in this Agreement have the meanings
given in the Terms.
If there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Terms, this
Agreement will prevail only in relation to Traveller Services, Traveller
responsibilities, Traveller compensation and Traveller payouts. The Terms
will otherwise continue to apply.
1. Acceptance and Electronic Record
By selecting the acceptance checkbox and confirming your acceptance in the
ZapLah application, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to
this Agreement and intend to be legally bound by it.
ZapLah may retain an electronic record of your acceptance, including your
ZapLah account identifier, the applicable agreement version, the agreement
document reference, the acceptance date and time, and the cryptographic hash
or other identifier associated with the accepted document.
You should review this Agreement carefully before accepting it and retain a
copy for your records.
2. Eligibility and Authority
To act as a Traveller, you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Have legal capacity to enter into this Agreement
- Provide complete and accurate identity, contact and payout information
- Be legally permitted to provide the relevant Traveller Services
- Not be suspended or restricted from acting as a Traveller on ZapLah
If you accept this Agreement on behalf of a business or other legal entity,
you confirm that you have authority to bind that entity. References to “you”
will then include that entity where applicable.
3. Role of ZapLah
ZapLah operates a peer-to-peer technology marketplace that connects Requesters
seeking products with Travellers who may independently offer to purchase, carry
and deliver those products.
ZapLah may facilitate communications, transaction records, payment processing,
proof submissions, dispute administration and payout processing. However,
ZapLah does not:
- Employ or supervise Travellers
- Purchase, carry or deliver items itself
- Control whether you list a trip or accept a request
- Guarantee that any request, offer, trip or transaction will be available
- Guarantee any level of earnings, compensation or payout frequency
- Guarantee the legality, quality, authenticity or availability of an item
4. Independent Traveller Relationship
The parties intend that you provide Traveller Services independently and not
as an employee, worker, partner, franchisee, representative or agent of ZapLah.
Nothing in this Agreement gives you authority to enter into obligations on
behalf of ZapLah or to represent that you are authorised to bind ZapLah.
You decide whether to list a trip, make an offer, accept a request or provide
Traveller Services. You are responsible for your own travel arrangements,
availability, operating costs, licences, permits, declarations, insurance,
taxes and reporting obligations.
Your legal status will ultimately depend on the actual circumstances and
applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to exclude any employment
or other statutory rights that legally apply to the actual relationship.
5. Traveller Services
Traveller Services may include:
- Listing accurate trip and route information
- Reviewing and accepting lawful item requests
- Submitting or accepting an Offer through ZapLah
- Purchasing the item described in the accepted Offer
- Retaining and submitting proof of purchase
- Carrying or transporting the item during your journey
- Communicating with the Requester through ZapLah
- Delivering or handing over the item as agreed
- Submitting delivery evidence where required
You must perform Traveller Services honestly, carefully, lawfully and in
accordance with the accepted Offer, this Agreement, the Terms and applicable
ZapLah policies.
6. Trip and Offer Information
You must ensure that trip dates, routes, destinations, baggage availability,
indicative fees, delivery availability and other information submitted through
ZapLah are accurate and not misleading.
You must promptly update or remove information that is no longer accurate.
You must not list a trip or make an Offer that you do not genuinely intend or
reasonably expect to complete.
Indicative fees, estimated travel capacity and other trip information do not
create an obligation until an applicable Offer has been accepted and any
required payment has been successfully processed.
7. Lawful and Permitted Items
You must not agree to purchase, carry, import, export, transport or deliver any
item that is illegal, prohibited, restricted, unsafe, stolen, counterfeit,
fraudulent or contrary to ZapLah’s policies.
Before accepting a request, you are responsible for checking all applicable:
- Airline and baggage requirements
- Airport security restrictions
- Customs and declaration requirements
- Import and export restrictions
- Product licensing or permit requirements
- Origin-country and destination-country laws
- Transit-country requirements where relevant
You must not accept a request where you are uncertain whether the item may
lawfully or safely be purchased, carried, imported, exported or delivered.
ZapLah may cancel, restrict or investigate a transaction where an item appears
prohibited, restricted, unsafe, misdescribed or otherwise unsuitable for the
Services.
8. Purchasing and Item Accuracy
You must purchase the item described in the accepted Offer, including the
agreed brand, model, size, quantity, colour, condition or other material
specifications.
You must not substitute an item, materially change the purchase arrangement or
incur an additional amount without first obtaining the Requester’s agreement
through the ZapLah communication or transaction flow.
Where an item is unavailable, materially different or priced differently from
the accepted arrangement, you must promptly notify the Requester and follow the
available cancellation, amendment or dispute process.
9. Proof of Purchase and Records
You may be required to retain and provide:
- Original or electronic purchase receipts
- Item photographs
- Product packaging or serial-number information
- Purchase date, price and merchant information
- Relevant communications and transaction evidence
- Customs, declaration or transportation records where applicable
All information and evidence submitted must be complete, accurate, authentic
and unaltered. You must not submit fabricated, edited, misleading or unrelated
evidence.
You should retain relevant receipts and records until the transaction,
applicable dispute period and payout process have been completed.
ZapLah may delay purchase approval, delivery confirmation or payout processing
while required information or evidence remains outstanding.
10. Delivery and Handover
You must take reasonable care of the item while it is in your possession and
complete delivery or handover according to the accepted Offer and agreed
arrangements.
You and the Requester are responsible for selecting a safe and appropriate
handover or delivery method. ZapLah does not itself provide transportation,
courier, storage or insurance services unless expressly stated otherwise.
You must not mark an item as delivered or submit delivery evidence before the
delivery or handover has genuinely occurred.
Where delivery cannot be completed, you must promptly communicate through
ZapLah and follow the applicable support, cancellation or dispute process.
11. Traveller Compensation
The Traveller compensation is the amount shown in the accepted Offer, payment
record or final transaction record after applying the relevant ZapLah platform
fee and any disclosed adjustments.
Indicative fees displayed on trip listings, trends, converted-currency displays
or other parts of ZapLah are estimates only. They are not guaranteed earnings,
guaranteed exchange rates or guaranteed payout amounts.
No Traveller compensation becomes payable merely because a trip was listed,
an Offer was submitted or a request was viewed. Compensation remains subject
to the accepted transaction, successful payment, performance of the Traveller
Services, delivery requirements, dispute conditions and payout eligibility.
12. ZapLah Platform Fee
Unless a different fee is clearly displayed and accepted for the relevant
transaction, ZapLah retains a platform service fee equal to ten percent (10%)
of the original transaction amount, and the remaining ninety percent (90%) is
allocated as the Traveller’s service payout.
The applicable transaction record will be the source of truth for the original
transaction amount, platform fee and Traveller payout.
ZapLah may introduce or amend fees for future transactions by providing notice
through the Services. A changed fee will not retroactively alter a transaction
already accepted unless required to correct an error, process a refund or
resolve a dispute.
13. Payout Currency and Foreign-Exchange Conversion
Traveller compensation is calculated and recorded in Singapore dollars (SGD),
unless the applicable transaction record expressly states otherwise.
For a payout to a receiving account denominated in another currency, ZapLah
may submit the SGD payout entitlement together with the destination currency
and recipient details to the selected payout provider.
The payout provider, intermediary bank or receiving institution may convert
the SGD amount into the destination currency using its applicable exchange
rate, charges, deductions and processing rules at the time of transfer.
Any local-currency amount, exchange rate or converted estimate displayed by
ZapLah before the transfer is indicative only and is not a guaranteed provider
rate or guaranteed amount receivable.
The final destination amount may differ because of foreign-exchange movements,
provider charges, intermediary-bank charges, recipient-bank charges, rounding,
regulatory deductions or other matters outside ZapLah’s reasonable control.
14. Payout Eligibility and Processing
A Traveller payout may be processed only after the applicable requirements
have been satisfied, which may include:
- Successful Requester payment
- Valid purchase evidence
- Valid delivery evidence or delivery confirmation
- Expiry of any applicable confirmation or dispute period
- Completion of identity or payout verification
- Availability of complete and accurate payout details
- Resolution of any refund, chargeback, fraud or compliance review
Payout timings shown in the Services are estimates and may be affected by
banking hours, weekends, public holidays, foreign-exchange processing,
compliance checks, recipient-bank processing and payout-provider availability.
ZapLah does not guarantee that a payout provider or receiving institution will
complete a transfer within a particular period.
15. Payout Information
You must provide complete and accurate payout information, including where required:
- Account-holder or recipient name
- Bank name and account number
- Routing, branch, bank or SWIFT information
- Recipient country and destination currency
- Address, city, state and postal information
- Telephone number and email address
- Identity, date-of-birth or compliance information
The account-holder name and other payout information should match the
information held by the receiving institution.
ZapLah is not responsible for delays, rejected transfers, returned funds,
additional charges or losses caused by incomplete, inaccurate, outdated or
inconsistent information supplied by you.
ZapLah may request updated information, supporting documents or additional
verification before processing or reprocessing a payout.
16. Payout Statements, Taxes and Compliance Records
You authorise ZapLah to generate, retain and send transaction summaries,
Traveller Service Payout Statements, agreement records and related documents
for completed Traveller Services.
A Traveller Service Payout Statement is a transaction record showing the
applicable service and payout information. Unless expressly stated otherwise,
it is not a tax invoice, employment payslip, bank statement or guarantee that
all tax or reporting obligations have been satisfied.
You are responsible for determining and complying with your own tax,
registration, licensing, accounting and reporting obligations. You should
obtain independent professional advice where necessary.
ZapLah may provide relevant transaction, identity, agreement or payout records
to payment providers, payout providers, financial institutions, auditors,
professional advisers, regulators, courts, law-enforcement agencies or other
authorities where reasonably required for:
- Payment and payout processing
- Identity and account verification
- Fraud, abuse or money-laundering prevention
- Chargeback or dispute administration
- Audit, accounting or recordkeeping
- Regulatory, legal or compliance obligations
17. Cancellations, Refunds, Chargebacks and Disputes
A transaction or payout may be delayed, adjusted, reversed, cancelled or
withheld while ZapLah or a payment provider investigates:
- A cancellation or refund request
- A payment failure or chargeback
- Suspected fraud or account misuse
- A prohibited or restricted item concern
- Missing, inconsistent or disputed evidence
- Non-delivery, incorrect delivery or item-condition concerns
- A breach of this Agreement, the Terms or applicable policies
- A legal, regulatory, sanctions or compliance concern
You must cooperate reasonably with an investigation and provide requested
information within the stated period.
ZapLah may make an administrative determination concerning the temporary
withholding, release, adjustment, reversal or refund of funds using the accepted
Offer, transaction records, submitted evidence, communications, platform
policies and applicable payment-provider rules.
Any administrative determination made by ZapLah does not exclude legal rights
or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Where a completed Traveller payout is later subject to a successful chargeback,
refund, duplicate payment, fraud finding or processing error attributable to
the relevant transaction, ZapLah may seek repayment or apply a reasonable
adjustment to amounts otherwise payable to you, to the extent permitted by law
and after providing relevant information about the adjustment.
18. Personal Data and Communications
ZapLah may collect, use, disclose and retain your identity, contact, travel,
bank, payout, transaction, device, communication and agreement information for
purposes including:
- Account and Traveller administration
- Provision of the Services
- Payment and payout processing
- Customer support and dispute resolution
- Platform safety, fraud prevention and security
- Legal, regulatory, audit and compliance obligations
- Enforcement of this Agreement and the Terms
Further information about ZapLah’s handling of personal data is contained in
the ZapLah Privacy Policy.
You agree that ZapLah may send service-related communications through the
application, email, push notification, SMS, WhatsApp or other contact methods
associated with your account, subject to applicable law and your communication
settings.
19. Suspension and Termination
ZapLah may restrict, suspend or terminate your ability to act as a Traveller where:
- Information supplied by you is inaccurate, incomplete or misleading
- An item or activity appears unlawful, restricted or unsafe
- You fail to provide required purchase or delivery evidence
- You misuse payment, payout, review, request or communication features
- Fraud, chargeback, compliance or security concerns arise
- You breach this Agreement, the Terms or applicable policies
- Continued access may expose users, third parties or ZapLah to harm or liability
- Restriction is required by a payment provider, authority or applicable law
Suspension or termination does not affect rights, obligations, investigations,
refunds, disputes or payment adjustments arising from activities that occurred
before the suspension or termination.
20. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
The Services are provided on an “as available” basis. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, ZapLah does not guarantee:
- Continuous or error-free availability of the Services
- Availability of any request, trip, Offer, transaction or payout route
- The conduct, identity or reliability of another User
- The legality, quality, authenticity or availability of an item
- A particular payment, payout or foreign-exchange processing time
- A particular level of Traveller earnings
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ZapLah is not responsible
for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary or consequential losses, or for
loss of profit, revenue, opportunity, goodwill or data.
ZapLah is not responsible for travel disruption, airline decisions, airport
restrictions, customs decisions, seizure or confiscation, receiving-bank
decisions, payout-provider conversion differences, intermediary-bank charges
or delays outside ZapLah’s reasonable control.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ZapLah’s aggregate liability
arising from or relating to the relevant Traveller Services will not exceed
the total ZapLah platform service fees attributable to your transactions during
the six months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes or restricts any liability, right or remedy
that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted, including liability for death
or personal injury resulting from negligence where applicable.
21. Responsibility for Breach
You remain responsible for losses, penalties, costs or claims arising directly
from your fraud, deliberate misconduct, unlawful activity, material
misrepresentation or material breach of this Agreement.
This section does not require you to compensate ZapLah for losses caused by
ZapLah’s own negligence, unlawful conduct or breach, and applies only to the
extent permitted by applicable law.
22. Changes to this Agreement
ZapLah may update this Agreement from time to time to reflect changes to the
Services, Traveller processes, payout arrangements, platform policies,
security requirements, business operations or applicable laws.
Where a change is material, ZapLah may provide notice through the application,
website, email, push notification or another reasonable communication method.
You may be required to review and affirmatively accept the new version before
creating new trips, submitting new Traveller Offers, accepting new Traveller
requests or accessing relevant Traveller and payout features.
Your acceptance record will identify the applicable agreement version. New
Traveller activities may be governed by the newly accepted version, while
earlier transactions and records may remain linked to the version accepted or
applicable when those activities occurred.
23. Assignment and Severability
You may not transfer or assign your rights or obligations under this Agreement
to another person without ZapLah’s prior written consent.
ZapLah may transfer its rights and obligations as part of a corporate
reorganisation, financing, merger, acquisition, sale of business or transfer of
the Services, subject to applicable law.
If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid, unlawful or unenforceable,
the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted
by law.
24. Entire Agreement and No Waiver
This Agreement, together with the Terms and policies incorporated by reference,
constitutes the agreement between you and ZapLah concerning the Traveller
Services.
A failure or delay by ZapLah to exercise a right under this Agreement does not
waive that right. Any waiver must be clearly communicated in writing by an
authorised representative of ZapLah.
25. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This Agreement is governed by the laws of Singapore.
Subject to any dispute process required by applicable law or the ZapLah
platform policies, the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
the courts of Singapore.
