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.
For this Agreement:
- “Traveller” means a user who independently offers to purchase, carry or deliver an item, or coordinate, perform or complete an errand, whether locally, remotely or while travelling.
- “Requester” means a user who publishes or submits a Request or accepts a Traveller's Offer.
- “Request” means an Item Request or an Errand Request submitted through ZapLah.
- “Item Request” means a Request involving the purchase, carriage, handover or delivery of an item.
- “Errand Request” means a Request for an agreed lawful task, coordination activity, local assistance, collection, dispatch, verification or digital result.
- “Trip Listing” means a listing of a Traveller's intended travel route, dates or carrying availability.
- “Service Listing” means a listing describing Errand services that a Traveller is willing and able to provide.
- “Offer” means a proposal submitted or accepted through ZapLah for a Traveller to fulfil a Request.
- “Completion Proof” means evidence reasonably demonstrating that an Item Request or Errand Request has been completed according to the accepted Offer and agreed instructions.
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 items or help with errands with Travellers who may independently offer
to purchase, carry or deliver items, or coordinate, perform or complete errands.
ZapLah may facilitate communications, transaction records, payment processing,
proof submissions, completion confirmation, dispute administration and payout
processing. However,
ZapLah does not:
- Employ or supervise Travellers
- Purchase, carry or deliver items or perform errands itself
- Control whether you publish a Trip Listing or Service Listing, make an Offer or accept a Request
- Guarantee that any Request, Offer, Trip Listing, Service Listing or transaction will be available
- Guarantee any level of earnings, compensation or payout frequency
- Guarantee the legality, quality, authenticity or availability of an item, Request, task, result or third party
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 publish a Trip Listing or Service Listing, make an Offer,
accept a Request or provide Traveller Services. You are responsible for your own travel and service
arrangements, availability, operating costs, tools, licences, qualifications,
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 and Service Listings
Traveller Services may include:
- Listing accurate trip and route information
- Publishing an accurate Service Listing for lawful errands you are genuinely willing and able to perform
- Reviewing and accepting lawful Item Requests or Errand 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
- Collecting, returning, exchanging, checking, verifying, printing, dispatching, contacting, following up or otherwise assisting as agreed
- Providing an agreed digital result, local handover or tracked dispatch
- Communicating with the Requester through ZapLah
- Delivering, handing over or completing the Request as agreed
- Submitting purchase, progress, delivery or Completion Proof 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.
A Service Listing is an invitation for Requesters to contact you or submit a
Request. Publishing a Service Listing does not require you to accept every
Request and does not guarantee that you will receive Requests or compensation.
You must promptly update, pause or remove a Service Listing that is inaccurate
or that you are no longer willing or able to fulfil.
6. Trip, Service Listing, Request and Offer Information
You must ensure that trip dates, routes, destinations, baggage availability,
service areas, service categories, languages, availability, fulfilment methods,
indicative fees, delivery availability and other information submitted through
ZapLah are accurate, current and not misleading.
You must promptly update or remove information that is no longer accurate.
You must not publish a Trip Listing or Service Listing or make an Offer that you
do not genuinely intend or reasonably expect to complete.
Indicative fees, starting prices, estimated travel capacity and other listing
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 and Errands
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.
You must not accept or perform an Errand Request that is illegal, unsafe,
deceptive, discriminatory, harmful, beyond your ability or authority, or
contrary to ZapLah's policies. Prohibited or restricted tasks include:
- Trespass, unauthorised entry, surveillance, harassment or impersonation
- Accessing another person's account, device, private records, password, PIN or one-time passcode
- Signing, making declarations or representing another person without lawful authority
- Legal, medical, financial, security or other regulated professional services unless you are lawfully qualified and authorised
- Handling weapons, controlled drugs, hazardous materials, stolen property, counterfeit goods or other prohibited items
- Making misleading statements, fabricating evidence or assisting fraud, evasion or unlawful activity
- Tasks that require unsafe travel, unsafe physical activity or contact that creates an unreasonable risk of harm
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
- Location-access rules, third-party permissions and local laws relevant to an Errand
- Licensing, qualification, safety and insurance requirements relevant to the requested activity
You must not accept a Request where you are uncertain whether the item or
activity may lawfully and safely be purchased, carried, imported, exported,
delivered or performed. ZapLah may cancel, restrict or investigate a listing,
Request or transaction where an item or activity appears prohibited,
restricted, unsafe, misdescribed or otherwise unsuitable for the Services.
7.1 Customs Declarations and Accurate Information
Where an Item is subject to customs, import, declaration or similar requirements,
you must comply with the applicable requirements of the destination country and
any relevant transit country. You must not intentionally misstate, conceal or
misclassify an Item's description, quantity, purchase price, value, ownership,
intended recipient, purpose or other material information in order to avoid a
declaration, duty, tax, restriction or other legal requirement.
You must not describe an Item as your own personal purchase, gift or property
unless that description is truthful and permitted by the applicable rules. Where
required, you must make an accurate declaration and retain reasonable evidence
of the declaration, assessment or payment.
7.2 Customs Duties, Taxes and Government Charges
Customs duties, import taxes, GST, VAT and other government charges may arise
depending on the destination, Item type, value, quantity and applicable law.
Unless the accepted Offer expressly allocates the cost differently, ZapLah may
treat an official customs or import charge attributable to an Item Request as a
Requester-side transaction cost for platform administration. This allocation
does not determine who is legally liable to an authority under applicable law.
Where reasonably practicable, you should notify the Requester through ZapLah
before paying a material unexpected customs or government charge. Any request
for reimbursement must be supported by an official receipt, assessment or other
reasonable evidence. You should not be expected to absorb an Item Request's
approved customs cost merely because you physically carried the Item.
7.3 Right to Decline, Pause or Discontinue Fulfilment
You may decline, pause or discontinue fulfilment where you reasonably determine
that the Item cannot lawfully or safely be imported, carried or delivered; a
required permit, licence, declaration or approval is unavailable; customs or
another authority refuses, detains, restricts or confiscates the Item; the
Requester does not provide information reasonably required for compliance; the
Requester does not approve an applicable material charge; or continuing would
reasonably expose you to legal, regulatory or safety risk.
Where this occurs, notify ZapLah and the Requester as soon as reasonably
practicable and provide available supporting information where appropriate.
ZapLah may take the circumstances and available evidence into account when
administering cancellation, refund, dispute, release or payout decisions. A
lawful refusal to misdeclare or evade customs requirements will not, by itself,
be treated as Traveller misconduct.
7.4 Customs Guidance and No Guarantee
Any customs, duty, tax, import, travel or declaration information made available
through ZapLah is general informational guidance only. Rules, thresholds,
exemptions and administrative practices may differ by country and may change.
ZapLah does not determine whether an Item qualifies for an exemption and does
not guarantee that an Item will be admitted, cleared, released or free from
customs duties, taxes, inspection, detention or other government action.
The Traveller and Requester remain responsible for checking the requirements
that apply to their particular transaction. Any allocation of costs or
responsibilities under this Agreement or the accepted Offer does not override
the powers of customs, tax, border or other authorities under applicable law.
8. Purchasing, Errand Instructions and Accuracy
You must purchase the item described in the accepted Offer, including the
agreed brand, model, size, quantity, colour, condition or other material
specifications.
For an Errand Request, you must follow the agreed scope, location, timing,
fulfilment method, completion requirements and other material instructions.
You must ask the Requester to clarify instructions that are incomplete,
inconsistent, unsafe or reasonably likely to produce the wrong result.
You must not substitute an item, materially change the purchase or Errand
arrangement, engage an undisclosed substitute, or incur an additional amount
without first obtaining the Requester’s agreement through the ZapLah
communication or transaction flow.
Where an item, location, third party, appointment or requested outcome is
unavailable, materially different or priced differently from the accepted
arrangement, you must promptly notify the Requester and follow the available
amendment, cancellation or dispute process.
You must not share, request or retain a Requester's password, PIN or one-time
passcode. Where lawful authorisation or identification is required, use a safe
and appropriate method and collect only the information reasonably necessary
for the agreed Request.
9. Purchase, Expense and Completion Records
You may be required to retain and provide:
- Original or electronic purchase receipts
- Receipts or evidence for Requester-approved Errand expenses
- Item photographs
- Product packaging or serial-number information
- Purchase date, price and merchant information
- Progress or Completion Proof reasonably related to the agreed Request
- Tracking, collection, handover, attendance or submission confirmation
- 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 must not incur a material expense outside the accepted Offer without the
Requester's prior agreement. You must not use expenses, reimbursements or
direct payment arrangements to bypass ZapLah's payment, transaction or platform-fee process.
Completion Proof should contain only information reasonably necessary to show
completion. You must take reasonable steps to avoid exposing unrelated personal,
confidential or third-party information.
You should retain relevant receipts and records until the transaction,
applicable dispute period and payout process have been completed.
ZapLah may delay purchase approval, completion approval, delivery confirmation
or payout processing while required information or evidence remains outstanding.
10. Completion, Delivery and Handover
You must take reasonable care of any item, document or other property while it
is in your possession and complete the Item Request or Errand Request according
to the accepted Offer and agreed arrangements.
The applicable fulfilment method may require a digital result, local handover,
tracked dispatch or another method clearly agreed through ZapLah. You must not
mark a Request as completed or submit Completion Proof before the agreed work,
delivery, handover or result has genuinely been completed.
You and the Requester are responsible for selecting a safe and appropriate
performance, meeting, handover or delivery method. ZapLah does not itself
provide transportation, courier, storage, insurance or professional services
unless expressly stated otherwise.
You must use reasonable care when attending a location, dealing with a third
party or communicating information on the Requester's behalf. You must comply
with lawful site rules and must not misrepresent your identity, authority or
relationship with ZapLah or the Requester.
Where the Request cannot be completed, you must promptly communicate through
ZapLah and follow the applicable amendment, 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,
a Service Listing was published, an Offer was submitted or a Request was viewed.
Compensation remains subject to the accepted transaction, successful payment,
performance of the Traveller Services, applicable completion or 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 or approved-expense evidence where applicable
- Valid Completion Proof, delivery evidence or completion confirmation where applicable
- 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 or Errand concern
- A customs declaration, import charge, detention, seizure or border-compliance concern
- Missing, inconsistent or disputed evidence
- Non-completion, incomplete or incorrect performance, non-delivery, incorrect delivery or item-condition concerns
- Unauthorised expenses, access, communications or substitution
- 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,
service area, listing, Request, evidence, bank, payout, transaction, device,
communication and agreement information for purposes including:
- Account and Traveller administration
- Provision of Trip, Service Listing, Item Request and Errand Request features
- 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, Service Listing, Request or activity appears unlawful, restricted or unsafe
- You fail to provide required purchase, expense, completion 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 Listing, Service Listing, Offer, transaction or payout route
- The conduct, identity or reliability of another User
- The legality, quality, authenticity, safety or availability of an item, task, result, location or third party
- That an Item Request or Errand Request can be completed as described
- 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, denial of site access,
third-party acts or omissions, unavailable appointments, receiving-bank
decisions, payout-provider conversion differences, intermediary-bank charges
or other events outside ZapLah’s reasonable control.
Nothing in this Agreement can prevent a customs, tax, border or other authority
from imposing a lawful duty, tax, penalty, detention, seizure or other measure.
A platform allocation of costs between the Requester and Traveller does not
bind an authority or remove any legal responsibility imposed by applicable law.
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.
Where a customs, import or declaration issue is caused materially by inaccurate
or incomplete Item information supplied by the Requester, ZapLah may take that
fact into account when administering a dispute, reimbursement, cancellation or
payout decision, provided you acted honestly, did not know the information was
false or incomplete, and complied with your own obligations under 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, Trip or Service Listing features, Item or Errand 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 Trip Listings or Service Listings, submitting new Traveller Offers,
accepting new Item or Errand 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.
