6.              OUR ROLE

6.1             We will assist in facilitating transactions that are carried out on the Platform, but we are neither the buyer nor the seller of Items that are the subject of a transaction carried out through the Services. Any agreement for the sale of any Items is solely between you as the buyer, and the Operator as the seller. We are not a party to that agreement and we do not have any responsibility in connection with it nor are we an agent for the Operator.

 

6.2             Please note that we do not directly provide any credit or debit, stored value and/or payment processing services for sales or purchases conducted on the Platform. Such facilities and services are performed by and are the responsibility of the issuer or operator of your relevant credit or debit card, stored value facility, payment service or other payment instrument (each, a "Payment Instrument" and such issuers and operators, the "Payment Provider") under separate terms and conditions which you have agreed with the Payment Provider.

 

6.3             You acknowledge and agree that:

(a)             we are granted by Operators authority to collect and receive payments as for transactions that are carried out on the Platform between you as the buyer and Operator as the seller on behalf of the Operator from you; and

(b)             you are released from the payment obligation to the Operator at the time the payment from you to us is completed as for such a particular transaction.

 

7.              OUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

7.1             We retain the right, in our sole discretion, to suspend or terminate the Services, prevent or restrict access to Services, take any other action to restrict your access to or availability of the Services or to suspend or terminate your access to the Services if we consider you may have breached these Terms or otherwise made inappropriate use of the Services.

 

7.2             You acknowledge and agree that we are entitled to offer cooperation and provide information, including information about or provided by you, to any administrative or judicial authority in any jurisdiction.

 

8.              ADVERTISEMENT AND PROMOTIONS

8.1             We may provide you with options to close or minimise advertisements on the Platform, but you must not in any way screen or filter the advertisements in any manner not expressly permitted by us in writing.  We may also, from time to time, carry out marketing and promotional activities in relation to the Platform, such as "red packet" giveaways, or top-up gifts.

 

8.2             Save as required by applicable laws, we shall have no liability for any loss or damage incurred or suffered by you arising from transactions you enter into in reliance upon such advertisements or promotional and marketing information.

 

 

9.              PRICE, DELIVERY OF ITEMS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS

9.1             Price

The price you will pay for your purchase of Items is determined by the Operator and denominated in the currency at the election of the Operator (the "Purchase Currency") from time to time. Please note that the price for Items as may be provided for on the Platform from time to time may vary to reflect the Purchase Currency. Please be aware of and carefully consider any recurring charges that may arise from the purchase of Items. You may also be informed of an approximate value in your local currency of the actual Purchase Currency price for your purchase. The approximate local currency price uses historical, not real-time, currency exchange rates and is only an approximation of the value of the Purchase Currency price for your purchase.

If the Payment Instrument you use to pay for your purchase is not denominated in the Purchase Currency, the amount you pay will be your local currency equivalent (as determined by your Payment Provider) of the actual Purchase Currency price. Your Payment Provider may also charge you other fees (including but not limited to currency conversion and/or transaction fees) for you making a purchase in the Purchase Currency rather than your local currency (such as where you use a credit card from an overseas jurisdiction/region to complete your purchase). Please contact your Payment Provider for more information about these additional fees. You are solely responsible for any applicable taxes, charges or fees imposed by your Payment Provider in connection with your use of the Services. We and our affiliates shall not be responsible or liable for any exchange rate used by your Payment Provider. Applicable taxes shall be ascertained based on the information and declaration provided by you.

9.2             Delivery of Items

The Operator shall be responsible for the delivery of Items transacted through the Services, and we will not be liable or responsible to you in any way for the delivery of such Items.

If you request a refund for any Items, or if the Operator cannot charge your payment method for any reason (such as insufficient funds or expiration of your payment method), the relevant Operator may disable your access to the relevant Items and/or retrieve the relevant Items from you. We shall not be responsible to compensate or indemnify you for any such loss of access or any other losses that you may suffer or incur in this regard.

If a dispute arises in relation to Items, including in relation to disputes regarding the price and/or quality of Items bought and sold via the Services, such dispute shall be resolved by you and the Operator only, without any involvement from us. You hereby release us (and our affiliates, Payment Provider, employees, representatives and agents) from claims, demands and damages (actual, direct, consequential or otherwise) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute. However, we will have the right, in our sole discretion, to facilitate and assist in such disputes, but we will not in any way be a party or be deemed to be a party to such disputes.

You irrevocably authorise us to assist in the settlement of disputes arising from your use of the Services which may include instructing the Payment Provider to hold or transfer all or part of such disputed funds to a disputing party (subject to a reversion of the transfer depending on the final outcome of the dispute). In such event, you shall indemnify us for any liabilities arising out of our decision.

9.3             Subscriptions

The Services may allow you to purchase access to content on a subscription basis.  These subscriptions may be offered on an automatic, continuous monthly basis ("Monthly Subscription(s)") or on a one-off, fixed term non-continuous basis ("One-off Subscription(s)").

Monthly Subscriptions will be automatically charged on a monthly 30-day basis, and you may be charged no more than 24 hours before the beginning of each monthly billing period. If we cannot charge your method of payment for any reason (such as insufficient funds or expiration of your payment method), we shall terminate your Monthly Subscription for the following month. We may, from time to time, in our sole discretion, offer promotions if you purchase a Monthly Subscription. The terms and conditions of any such promotions shall be determined by us in our sole discretion and will be provided to you at the time when you purchase a Monthly Subscription.

You can cancel your Monthly Subscription at any time before the beginning of the relevant monthly billing period, and the cancellation will apply to the following monthly billing period. For example, if you cancel your Monthly Subscription at any time in any given monthly billing period, the Monthly Subscription will be cancelled as of the following monthly billing period and you will not receive a refund for the current monthly billing period.

If you wish to cancel your Monthly Subscription, please visit our website or you can instruct your Payment Provider directly to cancel your subscription payment. You agree that we shall deem any instructions received from your Payment Provider to us as duly authorized by you and we shall have no liability to you in connection with any such instruction. You agree to irrevocably authorize us to instruct the relevant Operators to cancel your Monthly Subscription.

One-off Subscriptions will be charged once at the time when the subscription is made and you will not receive any refund for the One-off Subscription amount.

If you disagree with such amendment or change you must stop using the relevant service before we start charging for the service and you can cancel your contract with us by contacting us at help@midasbuy.com.

21.5          Clause 15 Our Liability is replaced with the following:

 

(a)             We will use reasonable care to ensure that the Services will be uninterrupted and that your instructions will be carried out promptly and be error-free. However, due to the nature of the Services and their reliance on the internet, payments systems and third parties such as Operators and Payment Providers, we are unable to provide any guarantees in this regard. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that your access to the Services may also be occasionally suspended, disrupted or restricted due to: (i) systems and network repairs and maintenance, or the introduction of new facilities or services; and/or (ii) bank and payments systems processing, clearing and settlement processing times.

 

(b)             If defective digital content that we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage that you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage that was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.

 

(c)             We only provide the Services for domestic and private use. If you use the Services for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption or loss of business opportunity.

 

(d)             We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the Services is delayed by an event outside our control then we will notify you via the Platform and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any Items or paid services which you have paid for but not received.

 

(e)             We do not voluntarily accept responsibility for any loss or damage:

(i)     that was not caused by our breach of these Terms; or

(ii) that was not, at the time you agreed to these Terms, a reasonably foreseeable consequence of us breaching these Terms (loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time these Terms were entered into, both we and you knew it might happen).

 

(f)              As long as we have complied with these Terms including our obligation to exercise reasonable care in providing the Services, we will not be responsible for the following and you should take reasonable steps to protect yourself against these risks:

(i)   information with threatening, defamatory or illegal content including from anonymous sources or someone using a fake or fictitious name;

(ii) you being misled or deceived by any person which results in psychological or physical harm and/or economic loss; 

(iii) your computer system being destroyed, paralysed or unable to operate in normal condition;

(iv)   credit or debit card fraud; or

(v)    identity theft.

 

(g)             Upon receipt of your payment instruction for any purchase of Items (including but not limited to Monthly Subscriptions and One-Off Subscriptions), you authorise us to allow the Payment Provider, or our or the Payment Provider’s bank or third party partners, service providers or agents, to charge or debit from your debit or credit card the amount that you requested be paid according to your payment instruction. In such event, you shall not submit a request to us for a refund, and we will have no liability to you, in connection with any actual or purported payment instruction, by reason of unsigned receipt, inconsistent signature, or the transaction not being in accordance with your intention or for any other reason. You also authorise us, the Payment Provider and our or the Payment Provider’s bank or third party partners, service providers or agents to initiate credits, debits or other charges to your debit or credit card to process subsequent refunds, chargebacks or other adjustments related to your payment transaction. In the event you change your payment method or any relevant details (including but not limited to your credit card number, its expiration date and/or your billing address), or if your payment account expires or is cancelled for any reason, you agree to notify us promptly of any such details.

 

(h)             We do not guarantee the legality, authenticity or quality of Items listed for sale via the Services. We will not be liable to compensate you for any loss suffered by you arising from the authenticity or quality of the Items bought by you via the Services.

 

(i)              We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(j)              Nothing in these Terms affect your legal statutory rights (to the extent applicable) for example to have Items provided to you by the relevant Operator within a reasonable time or to receive a refund from the relevant Operator if Items ordered cannot be supplied by the relevant Operator within a reasonable time.

 

21.6          New Clause 16.6 is inserted as follows:

We may choose to withdraw or suspend the Services or Platform at any time. We will give you reasonable notice in advance of doing so and will refund you for any Services or Items already paid for which will not be provided.

21.7          New Clause 16.7 is inserted as follows:

You can stop using the Services and cancel your contract with us at any time by contacting us at help@midasbuy.com.

21.8          Clause 17 Amendments to these Terms is replaced with the following:

 

We may make changes to these Terms at any time due to changes in laws or regulatory requirements or to implement minor technical adjustments or improvements. We will notify you of any such changes including via the Platform. You will be subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms in force at the time when you use the Services. If you continue using the Services after any amendment to or change of these Terms, you shall be deemed to have read, understood and agreed to such amendment or change. If you disagree with any such amendment or change, you must stop using the Services prior to the amendment or change taking effect and you can cancel your contract with us by contacting us at help@midasbuy.com. We will refund you for any Services or Items which you have already paid for but not yet received.

 

21.9          Clause 19 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution is replaced with the following:

 

These Terms are governed by the law of the country in which you live and you can bring legal proceedings in your local courts. In addition, if you are in the European Economic Area please note that disputes may be submitted for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform.

 

21.10       New Clause 20.5 is inserted as follows:

 

Even if we delay in enforcing these Terms, we can still enforce them later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaching these Terms, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
