“Bill Pay Service” means the service provided by Aspire to existing customers (“you” or “your”) to pay your business-related invoices (“invoice”) to your designated recipient(s).

1.2.2. You agree that it is your responsibility, not Aspire’s, to pay all invoices in a timely manner.

1.2.3.1. will supply Aspire, upon request, with all information Aspire reasonably requires to enable Aspire to provide the Bill Pay Service to you; and

1.3. Fees
Currently, the Bill Pay Service is available free for all existing Aspire customers. However, Aspire retains the right to charge fees in order to render the Bill Pay Service in the future. Should Aspire choose to do so, it will provide you prior written notice of such fees to allow you to determine whether to continue using the Bill Pay Service.
1.4. Processing
1.4.1. Invoices sent before 3 PM, Singapore time, on a Business Day will be processed on that same Business Day. Other invoices sent after 3 PM Singapore time on a Business Day, or sent on a day that is not a Business Day, will be processed on the next Business Day. Aspire will endeavour to process all transactions without delay, but expressly disclaim any and all liability for any processing delays, or the consequences of any processing delays, which may occur in any circumstance, whether beyond Aspire's reasonable control, or otherwise.
1.4.2 Aspire will add the invoice reference number as description of the payment request to reconcile your invoice and payment request.
1.4.3 Aspire is not responsible for the recipient or the recipient’s bank or payment intermediary delaying or denying an invoice payment.
1.4.4 Where an invoice payment is declined by the recipient or the recipient’s bank for any reason, your invoice payment transaction will not result in payment of your invoice. You will be responsible for any fees and charges levied by the recipient or the recipient’s bank or payment intermediary for any declined payment or, if applicable, late payment. You agree that Aspire will not be responsible for any such fees and charges.
1.4.5 Aspire is entitled to refuse to process an invoice payment request at any time without giving any reason and/or may require additional information from you before Aspire processes your invoice payment request. Aspire shall be under no obligation to process your invoice payment request where it reasonably suspects that it could result in a breach of law (including sanctions, anti-money laundering or anti-bribery laws and regulations).
1.4.6 You will not be able to cancel, alter or reverse any invoice payment transaction that you have approved. If you believe an invoice payment is incorrect, unauthorised or you wish to make a cancellation for any other reason, you must immediately contact Aspire via https://aspireapp.com/contact-us. Aspire will use reasonable endeavours to assist you but there is no guarantee that any approved transaction will be successfully cancelled, altered or reversed.
