(e) the Customer has breached the Terms or breached any applicable limits or restrictions set out in the Acceptable Use Policy;

(f) the Customer has given Airwallex false or inaccurate information, or Airwallex has been unable to verify any information the Customer has provided;

16.3 Notice. Where Airwallex exercises a right of suspension, we will give the Customer notice of suspension where possible and the reasons for such suspension, either before the suspension is put in place, or immediately after, unless it would compromise Airwallex's reasonable security measures or otherwise be unlawful. Airwallex will use commercial reasonable endeavours to remove the suspension as soon as practicable after the reasons for the suspension have ceased to exist.

16.4 On termination you will need to repay any money you owe us. In the circumstances set out in clause 16.2, we may charge you for any costs, expenses and losses we incur (including those due to any action we may take to cover or reduce the exposure).

17. GENERAL

The Rules for Financial Dispute Resolution Service are published on the Financial Dispute Resolution Service’s website: www.fdrs.org.nz. In particular, the Customer should note the exclusions and limitations imposed by the Financial Dispute Resolution Service from time to time, including that a complaint is not covered by the Financial Dispute Resolution Service scheme unless:

(a) the Customer has first made the complaint (or substantially the same complaint) to Airwallex; and

(b) one of the following things has occurred:
(i) Airwallex has given the Customer written notice of its decision (a 'decision notice'); or
(ii) Airwallex has given the Customer written notice that it has reached the view that the parties are unlikely to resolve the complaint under Airwallex's complaints procedures (a 'deadlock notice'); or
(iii) at least two (2) months has passed after the Customer first made that complaint to Airwallex; and

(c) the Customer then refers the complaint to the Financial Dispute Resolution Service within the following applicable time limit:
(i) within three (3) months after receiving a valid decision notice or deadlock notice; and
(ii) within two (2) years after first making that complaint to Airwallex in any other case.

17.2 Notices

(i) made in writing in English; and
(ii) if:
a) given to Airwallex, it must be addressed to the postal address or email address set out in clause 2.2 (or otherwise as notified by Airwallex to you from time to time); and
b) given to the Customer, it must be addressed to the postal address or email address which Airwallex has recorded for the Customer in the Customer's Airwallex Profile (or otherwise as notified by the Customer from time to time through the Airwallex Platform).

(d) This clause does not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action or, where applicable, any arbitration or other method of dispute resolution.

17.3 Relationship

Nothing in these General Terms will be construed as creating an agency, a partnership or joint venture between the Parties, constitute any Party being the agent of the other Party, or authorise any Party to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of the other Party. Each Party confirms it is acting on its own behalf and not for the benefit of any other person.

17.4 Assignment and subcontracting

You will not assign the Terms, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. Any attempt to do so will be void and constitute a material breach of the Terms. We may assign the Terms, in whole or in part, or subcontract our obligations under it, without your consent.

17.5 Waiver

No failure or delay by a Party to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Terms or Applicable Law, or a single or partial exercise of such right or remedy, will constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor will it preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

17.6 Severability If any provision of the Terms is determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal by any court of competent jurisdiction, it will be deemed to have been deleted without affecting the remaining provisions. If such provision would be valid, enforceable and legal if some part of it were modified or deleted, the provision will apply with the minimum modification necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable.

17.7 Records The Customer agrees that, except in the case of manifest error, Airwallex's records of the Customer's use of the Services and of transactions carried out through the Airwallex Platform is conclusive evidence of its contents.

17.8 Set-Off We may at any time set off any payment liability you have to us against any payment liability that we have to you, whether either liability is present or future, liquidated or unliquidated, and whether or not either liability arises under these General Terms. If the liabilities to be set off are expressed in different currencies, we may convert either liability at a market rate of exchange for the purpose of set-off. Our right to set off includes, but is not limited to, setting off the amount of any payment you have requested against any amount collected through any account you have with Airwallex.

17.9 Other languages The Terms are made in the English language. They may be translated to other languages for convenience only, and in the event of any inconsistency, the English language version will prevail.

17.10 Governing law The Terms will be governed by and constructed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand. Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts over any dispute, controversy or claim (including non-contractual claims) arising under or in connection with the Terms.

17.11 Class waiver To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Party agrees that any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Terms, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim or dispute proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each Party knowingly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to the Terms or any of the transactions contemplated between the Parties.
