UPDATE AND MODIFICATION OF TERMS OF USE

TruTrip reserves the right to modify these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy at any time without giving prior notice. Users should carefully read these Terms of Use before accessing the Platform. In all circumstances, the acceptance of these Terms of Use is an essential first step toward access to the Services and content available on the Platform. The most current Terms of Use will be available at all times on the Platform.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1. TruTrip is a travel agent duly registered in Singapore, Licence No. TA03340, and has created this Platform to allow organisations of all sizes to save time and money on managing business travel (such organisations that use the Platform referred to as the “Organisation“). The system created by TruTrip operates as follows:
   1. Travel policy management. By signing up with us, Organisations have the option to provide information about their travel policies regarding their Users’ and/or Travellers’ travel spend (the “Travel Policies“). While TruTrip will implement commercially reasonable measures to encourage an Organisation’s Users and Travellers to comply with the Organisation’s Travel Policies, TruTrip cannot guarantee such compliance. TruTrip commits to no less than 95% of the expenditure spent via the Platform to comply with the policy as set by the Organisation within the Platform. In the event compliance drops below 95%, the Organisation will be entitled to any and all commercial benefit of the out of policy spend, and a rebate worth up to 50% of the previous six-month subscription revenue. For the avoidance of doubt, this compliance calculation and relevant percentage must be based on a minimum of $100k (USD) of bookings or more. In the event $100k of bookings has not been completed, TruTrip accepts no liability.
   2. Search & Booking. When a User searches for a trip, our system displays available results and highlights the options which are out of the relevant Travel Policies. Such User can be the Organisation’s employee, travel manager or other representative of the Organisation. A User may place a Booking for himself, or on behalf of another employee within the Organisation. In these Terms of Use, the employee undertaking the travel is referred to as the “Traveller“, and may or may not be the same person as the User.The Platform allows the User to book the selected travel itinerary and pay for it according to the methods of payment available on the Platform.

      A “Booking” refers to the booking of a ticket or other services listed at Annex 3 (as the case may be) booked by the User through the Platform. TruTrip will liaise with the relevant service providers (all service providers listed on the Platform referred to as “Suppliers“) to secure the Booking on behalf of the Traveller upon the User’s confirmation of the Booking. Each Booking will be assigned a unique Booking number upon confirmation of the Booking.

   3. Servicing. In case of cancellation, modification or no-show of the Booking, TruTrip will refund to the User and/or the Organisation (as the case may be) the corresponding Booking amounts less any costs for processing payment on the Platform and any costs applied by the Supplier for such cancellation, modification or no-show (provided that said Supplier expressly allows and actually reimburses such amount to TruTrip). In this regard, TruTrip may, at its sole discretion, credit the corresponding amount to the account of the User and/or the Organisation (as the case may be).
   4. Managing and Reporting. We provide data and reports to the Organisation for compliance, pricing and insight purposes. In the event an Organisation wishes to give Platform data access to a 3rd party, TruTrip shall obtain express and explicit permission from the Organisation for 3rd party data sharing for the purpose of reporting, compliance, or insights. The authority given by the Organisation, relating to 3rd party access, shall expressly set out TruTrip’s rights to share relevant data including, where indicated in the permission granted by the Organisation, at a user identifiable level. In addition the Organisation, in giving their authority to TruTrip, also confirms they have the appropriate authority to give permission for and on behalf of all associated Organisations and Users. In all cases TruTrip shall only disclose data to the level authorised within the permissions granted by the Organisation.
   5. Credit Services. At our discretion, we may choose to provide our Credit Service to facilitate payment for Bookings. In all cases, TruTrip has the final decision on whether to offer this service to the Organisation. For more information, please refer to Section 7 of this agreement and Annex 5.
2. By using this Platform to make Bookings and/or purchase Services, the Organisation, User and Traveller authorise TruTrip to act as their agent during the booking and purchasing process with the corresponding Suppliers, as well as for the payment of the products or services, to the extent as necessary, in order to ensure that the transaction between the Organisation, User and/or Traveller and the Suppliers, is performed correctly.

PAYMENT

1. All Bookings made shall be paid by either the User or the Organisation (as selected by the User) by credit card or such other methods indicated on the Platform from time to time.
2. If any Supplier charges TruTrip for any additional services not previously charged on the Platform, TruTrip reserves the right to charge the Organisation accordingly.
3. TruTrip reserves the right to cancel any Booking or request for Booking in the event that TruTrip reasonably believes that any transaction relating to the Booking is fraudulent e.g., the payment method is not legally valid, and/or the User and/or the Organisation (as the case may be) is not the legal owner of such payment method. Under these circumstances, TruTrip will attempt to contact the User and/or the Organisation using the e-mail address provided during the booking process, or through the User and/or Organisation’s bank (as the case may be). If TruTrip cannot contact the User and/or the Organisation or their respective bank, the Booking or request for Booking will be automatically cancelled for security reasons.

   1. The initial Credit Terms will apply for three calendar months from the Organisation signing up to the TruTrip platform. The terms of that facility shall be set by TruTrip in alignment with the Rates, Frequency and Payment Term options (the Credit Terms) outlined in Annex 5.
   2. Subject to TruTrip’s discretion, and the Organisation’s payment behaviour during the trial, TruTrip shall offer long term Credit Terms. The Organisation shall be notified of the long term Credit Terms during the trial and continued use of the Credit Service, after the trial, will automatically signal the Organisation’s acceptance of the long term Credit Terms. At any time the Organisation can suspend the Credit Services via the platform or TruTrip’s support.
   3. New/Updated Credit Terms can be proposed by TruTrip at any time, but the changed terms require an acceptance, in writing, from the Organisation and at least forty five working days’ notice, or earlier with the Organisation’s agreement, prior to implementation.
   4. TruTrip can suspend Credit Services at any time and for any reason. TruTrip shall at all times try to reasonably minimise any impact to the Organisation’s use of the platform in the event Credit Services are suspended. In the event of suspension, the Organization agrees to pay any outstanding balances as per the Credit Terms.
   5. If, at any point, the Maximum Credit Value amount is exceeded, TruTrip can, at their discretion, withhold additional services until the Organisation (i) transfers appropriate funds to TruTrip or (ii) pays for additional services via another available payment option, such as Credit Card. TruTrip recommends the Organisation maintains a card on file in case of these instances.

      1. sent to the designated contact at the Organisation.
      2. issued as a summary of transactions and include, as an annex, a list of the transactions and transaction reference numbers that can be further reviewed via the Platform.

      1. there is no Outstanding Balance, no further action is needed from either party once notice is given.
      2. there is an Outstanding Balance owed to TruTrip, the Organisation shall settle into a bank account nominated by the receiver by the latter of (i) 10 working days of the termination date, or (ii) 5 working days from being notified of the nominated bank account.
