1. GENERAL
SGPMX agrees to provide you with a service that enables you to make prepayment of bullion product purchases into an account designated by SGPMX (“Service“).
Upon receipt of the prepayment by SGPMX, the prepayment will be credited into your respective account maintained by SGPMX (“Account“). For the avoidance of doubt, all prepayments received by SGPMX shall be pooled and deposited into a separate bank account which is independent of SGPMX’s corporate bank account.
All prepayments into the Account can be used solely to purchase and/or trade bullion products on SGPMX up to the dollar value of the amount of money standing in your Account. Any attempt to purchase bullion products of a value that is greater than the amount standing in the Account will be declined and may result in the Account being suspended.
The prepayments in the Account shall not attract any interest.
Except otherwise as provided herein or as required by applicable law, all prepayments in the Account are not redeemable or refundable.
2. USE PERIOD
Upon confirmation of purchase, SGPMX shall automatically debit the value of the purchase from the Account.
Each prepayment into the Account shall be utilised by you to acquire bullion products from SGPMX within sixty (60) calendar days from the day of receipt of the respective prepayment by SGPMX (“Use Period“). At the end of the Use Period, SGPMX shall, as soon as possible and to the extent practicable, arrange for the return of the relevant prepayment to you less any and all charges and an administrative fee of USD 20.00. SGPMX may, at its sole discretion, extend the Use Period for a further thirty (30) calendar days should SGPMX receives request in writing for extension of time from you before the expiry of the Use Period. There will be no further extension allowed after the extended Use Period and the relevant prepayment will be returned to you less any and all charges and an administrative fee of USD 20.00.
3. BALANCE MONIES AND VOUCHER
Any balance prepayment in the Account after the purchase of bullion products from SGPMX (“Balance Monies“) shall be utilised within sixty (60) calendar days after the debiting of the Account for the purchase (“Time Period“). SGPMX shall arrange for the return of the Balance Monies less any and all charges and an administrative fee of USD 20 should SGPMX receives written request from you before the expiry of the Time Period. Upon expiry of the Time Period, the Balance Monies will be automatically converted into SGPMX stored value vouchers (“SGPMX Voucher“). An email containing a code for the SGPMX Voucher will be sent to you. You may utilise the SGPMX Voucher on the next purchase of bullion products on the SGPMX website. The SGPMX Voucher is not exchangeable for cash.
Each SGPMX Voucher shall have a validity period of one (1) year (“Validity Period“). At the end of the Validity Period, the SGPMX Vouchers shall be null and void and you shall have no claims whatsoever against SGPMX for the value of the SGPMX Vouchers.
