34. Usiri

(i)  Benki inathamini faragha ya Mteja na ina sera ya kuweka kwa siri taarifa na/au nyaraka zinazomhusu Mteja na/au Akaunti.

Endapo wakati wowote kifungu chochote cha Vigezo na Masharti ya Jumla kitakuwa kinyume cha sheria, batili au kisichotekelezeka kwa namna yoyote ile, basi uhalali, utekelezekaji na nguvu ya vifungu vilivyobaki haitaathiriwa wala kudhoofishwa kwa sababu hiyo.

37. Marekebisho

(i) Benki inaweza kurekebisha Vigezo na Masharti ya Jumla, Vigezo na Masharti Mahususi yoyote na/au Ada za Benki (kwa ujumla au kwa sehemu) wakati wowote.

Endapo kutakuwa na mgongano wowote kati ya Vigezo na Masharti haya ya Jumla na Vigezo na Masharti Mahususi, Vigezo na Masharti Mahususi yatatumika.

38. Mawasiliano ya Fidia

Mteja anakubali kuifidia na kuilinda Benki dhidi ya madai yote, matakwa, hasara, gharama, dosari, dhima na matumizi ya aina yoyote ile (ikiwamo Kodi zozote, ada za kisheria (bili, pale inapofaa, kwa misingi ya wakili/mteja) zinazotumika, matatizo yaliyosababishwa na Benki (au na mtu mwingine yeyote kwa niaba ya Benki) kuhusiana na:

3.7  Mteja na/au Mtumiaji Aliyeteuliwa hawatatuma wala kujaribu kutuma Maombi yoyote kwa Benki kupitia Mfumo endapo Mteja ana sababu ya kuamini kwamba, kwa sababu yoyote ile, maombi hayo huenda yasipokewe na Benki au huenda yasipokelewe kwa usahihi na kwa kueleweka. 3.8  Mteja na/au Mtumiaji Aliyeteuliwa atafuata wakati wote taratibu za usalama kama zinavyotangazwa na Benki katika vipindi mbalimbali, au taratibu zingine zozote zinazohusika na Huduma kwa wakati unaohusika, hususani zilizoainishwa kwenye tovuti ya Benki au machapisho ya bidhaa. Mteja anakiri kwamba kushindwa kufuata taratibu za kiusalama zilizopendekezwa kunaweza kusababisha ukiukwaji wa usiri wa Maelezo ya Upatikanaji wa Mfumo na kusababisha matumizi yasiyoidhinishwa ya Mfumo na/au Huduma. Hasa, Mteja atahakikisha kwamba Huduma haitumiki, au Maombi hayatolewi, au kazi zinazohusika hazitekelezwi na mtu yeyote isipokuwa mtu aliyeidhinishwa kufanya hivyo. 3.9  Mteja na/au Mtumiaji Aliyeteuliwa hataruhusiwa kuendesha au kutumia Huduma kwa namna yoyote itakayoweza kuiathiri Benki. 3.10 Mteja anaelewa na anakubali kwamba Benki inaweza kuunganisha Akaunti ya Benki yenye watia saini wengi na Maelezo ya Upatikanaji wa Mfumo kwa Mteja na Huduma, pale tu ambapo Mteja amewasilisha kwa Benki Fomu halisi ya Maombi iliyosainiwa na watia saini wote wa Akaunti hiyo ya Benki, ikithibitisha kwamba Benki imeidhinishwa kutekeleza Maombi yote. Itakuwa ni jukumu la Mteja pekee kuhakikisha kwamba hakuna mtu asiyeidhinishwa anayeruhusiwa kutumia Akaunti hiyo ya Benki. 3.11 Benki itakuwa na haki na itaidhinishwa kuitoza Akaunti ya Benki ya Mteja kwa kiasi cha miamala yote iliyotekelezwa kupitia Huduma, pamoja na kutoza Akaunti ya Benki ya Mteja kwa ada zozote zinazohusiana na Huduma kama zitakavyoainishwa na Benki katika vipindi mbalimbali.  

4. Mamlaka ya Benki Isiyoweza Kubatilishwa

4.1 Benki inaidhinishwa bila kubatilishwa na Mteja kutekeleza Maombi yote na kumwajibisha Mteja kwa matokeo yake, bila kujali kwamba Maombi hayo hayajatolewa na/au hayajaidhinishwa na Mteja na/au Mtumiaji Aliyeteuliwa, au hayako kwa mujibu wa mamlaka yoyote yaliyopo aliyopewa Mteja. Endapo Mteja na/au Mtumiaji Aliyeteuliwa ataiomba Benki kufuta muamala au maelekezo yoyote baada ya Maombi kupokewa na Benki kutoka kwa Mteja, Benki, kwa hiari yake kamili na ya pekee, inaweza kufuta muamala au maagizo hayo. 4.2 Benki itakuwa na haki ya kupokea na kutekeleza Maombi yoyote, hata kama Maombi hayo kwa sababu yoyote hayajakamilika au yana utata, iwapo Benki, kwa hiari yake kamili na ya pekee, itaona kuwa inaweza kutekeleza Maombi hayo licha ya upungufu au utata uliopo katika Mambi hayo. 4.3 Benki haitalazimika kupokea au kutekeleza Maombi yoyote endapo kufanya hivyo kutahitaji upatikanaji, hatua au taarifa kutoka kwa Tawi au Kampuni Tanzu iliyopo katika mamlaka yoyote pale ambapo si Siku ya Kibenki kwa wakati husika ambapo upatikanaji, hatua au taarifa hizo zinahitajika, au endapo kufanya hivyo kutasababisha uvunjaji wa mamlaka yoyote iliyopo, kikomo cha huduma ya mkopo, au makubaliano yoyote yaliyopo kati ya Benki na Mteja. Endapo Benki itapokea au kutekeleza Maombi yoyote kama hayo, Mteja ataendelea kuwajibika na ataifidia Benki dhidi ya madai, matakwa, hasara, gharama, uharibifu, dhima au matumizi yoyote ya aina yoyote ile ambayo Benki inaweza kubeba, kuathirika au kupata kutokana na kupokea au kutekeleza Maombi hayo. 4.4 Endapo kutakuwa na mgongano wowote kati ya masharti ya Maombi yoyote kutoka kwa Mteja na Vigezo na Masharti ya Kidijiti/Kizazi Kipya, Vigezo na Masharti ya Kidijiti/Kizazi Kipya yatakuwa na nguvu ya kutumika. Vigezo na Masharti ya Kidijiti/Kizazi Kipya pamoja na idhini zote na taratibu nyinginezo zinazotokana nayo ni nyongeza ya Vigezo na Masharti ya Jumla na mamlaka nyingine zozote zinazotumika kwa Akaunti ya Benki.

5. Ukomo wa Miamala ya Kielektroniki ya Kibenki

Mteja na/au Mtumiaji Aliyeteuliwa anaweza kuhamisha fedha au kufanya malipo ya kiasi chochote, kwa kuzingatia masharti ya kifungu cha 3.9 cha Vigezo na Masharti ya Kidijiti/Kizazi Kipya, ilimradi muamala huo unaohusiana na Huduma hausababishi salio katika Akaunti ya Amana kushuka chini ya kiwango cha salio la chini lililoainishwa kwa Akaunti ya Amana au kuzidisha kiwango cha ukomo cha huduma ya mkopo wa ziada kilichotolewa na kuidhinishwa na Benki kuhusiana na Akaunti ya Amana; isipokuwa pale ambapo Mteja ana Akaunti ya Amana ya Muda Maalumu iliyowekwa dhamana ipasavyo kwa Benki ili kufidia ziada yoyote inayoweza kujitokeza katika vipindi mbalimbali katika Akaunti ya Amana inayohusika. Katika hali hiyo, Akaunti za Amana zinazohusika zinapaswa ziunganishwe katika Mfumo kwa madhumuni hayo, na muamala unaohusika hauwezi kusababisha kiasi cha ziada katika Akaunti ya Amana inayohusika kuzidi kiasi kilichowekwa dhamana katika Akaunti ya Amana ya Muda Maalumu.

6. Taarifa za Miamala na Haki za Mteja Kupata Taarifa Hizi

6.1 Miamala yote inayohusiana na Huduma inayofanywa na Mteja na/au Mtumiaji Aliyeteuliwa mara tu wanaporuhusiwa kuingia katika Mfumo itarekodiwa kwa kipindi chote ambacho Mteja na/au Mtumiaji Aliyeteuliwa anapata Mfumo. Benki itahifadhi nakala za Maombi yote katika muundo unaohusika wa vyombo vingi vya mawasiliano. Aidha, nakala zozote za maandishi za nyaraka zilizoandaliwa na/au kushikiliwa na Benki kwa madhumuni ya kutekeleza muamala kwa mujibu wa Maombi zitaendelea kuhifadhiwa na Benki. 6.2 Nyaraka zote na kumbukumbu nyinginezo za aina yoyote zilizoshikiliwa na/au kutolewa na/au kuhifadhiwa na Benki kuhusiana na Maombi na/au Huduma, pasipo kuwapo kosa lililo wazi, zitakuwa ni uthibitisho kamili wa Maombi na/au Huduma na miamala yote inayohusiana nayo, na hazitakuwa chini ya pingamizi lolote kutoka kwa Mteja na/au Mtumiaji Aliyeteuliwa kwa sababu yoyote ile. 6.3 Mteja atachukuliwa kuwa amekubali bila masharti yoyote, na hataruhusiwa baadaye kupinga au kutilia shaka muamala wowote unaohusiana na Maombi na/au Huduma uliomo katika taarifa yoyote ya akaunti iliyotolewa na Benki kwa Mteja kuhusiana na Maombi na/au Huduma, isipokuwa pale ambapo Mteja atawasilisha pingamizi kwa maandishi kwa Benki kuhusiana na miamala hiyo kama ilivyoainishwa katika taarifa hiyo ya akaunti, ndani ya siku kumi na tano (15) kuanzia tarehe ambayo taarifa hiyo ya akaunti ilitolewa au inachukuliwa kuwa imetolewa na Benki kwa Mteja.

7. Tozo

7.1 Mteja atailipa Benki ada ya awali ya kuanzisha huduma na ada ya usajili ya kila mwezi kwa ajili ya Huduma, pamoja na tozo za miamala zinazotumika kwa aina mbalimbali za miamala kuhusiana na Huduma, kama Benki itakavyomjulisha Mteja katika vipindi mbalimbali. Benki, kwa hiari yake kamili na ya pekee, inaweza kurekebisha tozo na ada hizi baada ya kumpa Mteja notisi ya siku kumi na nne (14) kuhusu marekebisho hayo. Pia, Benki, kwa hiari yake kamili, inaweza kuacha kudai ada za awali za kuanzisha huduma na/au ada za usajili za kila mwezi, au sehemu yake. 7.2 Mteja atalipa kodi yoyote inayotozwa kwa kiasi chochote kinacholipwa na Mteja kwa Benki, pamoja na ada, tozo au ushuru mwingine wowote unaotozwa kwa Mteja au Benki na chombo chochote cha serikali au cha kisheria kuhusiana na utoaji wa Huduma. 7.3 Benki inaidhinishwa bila kubatilishwa, katika vipindi mbalimbali, kutoza kiasi chochote kinachodaiwa kutoka kwa Mteja kwa mujibu wa vifungu vidogo vya 7.1 na/au 7.2 kutoka katika Akaunti yoyote ya Benki ya Mteja, katika fedha yoyote. Mbali na ada zinazolipwa chini ya Vigezo na Masharti ya Kidijiti/Kizazi Kipya, tozo na ada zinazotumika kwa Akaunti za Benki ya Mteja pia zitatumika.

8. Kuondolewa kwa Dhima

(j) “Mshirika wa Mtandao wa Pamoja” maana yake ni chombo chochote ambacho Benki inaingia nacho makubaliano ambayo, kwa mujibu wake, wamiliki wa kadi ya Benki wanaweza kutekeleza Miamala kwenye ATM na/au Vifaa vya POS vinavyomilikiwa na, au vinavyohusishwa na, chombo hicho; na “Muamala” maana yake ni muamala wowote unaotekelezwa kwa kutumia Kadi kwa mujibu wa Vigezo na Masharti haya.

2. MATUMIZI YA ATM

(a) Kadi inaweza kutumika kwenye ATM yoyote kwa Miamala ifuatayo:

• kutoza Akaunti kwa kutoa fedha taslimu; na tozo hiyo itafanyika haraka;
• kuingiza katika Akaunti kwa kuweka fedha taslimu au hundi; na uingizaji huo utafanyika ama siku inayofuata ya kazi (kwa amana ya fedha taslimu) au siku ambayo fedha zilizosafishwa zimepokewa;
• kumpatia Mmiliki wa Kadi taarifa fupi ya akaunti;
• kuagiza Muamala mwingine wowote ambao Benki inaweza kuufanya upatikane kwa Mmiliki wa Kadi katika vipindi mbalimbali, ikijumuisha kuongeza muda wa maongezi katika simu na uhamisho wa fedha kati ya akaunti.

(b) Utoaji wote wa fedha taslimu kupitia ATM kwa kila kadi utakuwa chini ya kikomo cha utoaji wa kila siku kama Benki itakavyotangaza katika vipindi mbalimbali, na pia utategemea kuwapo kwa fedha za kutosha katika Akaunti. Mmiliki wa Kadi anakubali kutojaribu kutoa fedha isipokuwa pale ambapo kuna salio la kutosha katika Akaunti. Wajibu wa kuhakikisha kuwa salio la Akaunti linatosha ni wa Mmiliki wa Kadi pekee. (c) Benki, kwa hiari yake, inaweza kutenga kiwango fulani cha chini kinachopaswa kubaki katika Akaunti; chini ya kiwango hicho, muamala wa kutoa fedha hautaruhusiwa, hata kama kuna fedha za kutosha katika Akaunti kufanya muamala huo. Kiwango hicho kinaweza kubadilishwa na Benki wakati wowote. (d) Pasipo kuwapo kosa lililo wazi, kumbukumbu za Benki kuhusu Muamala wowote au athari zake zitakuwa uthibitisho kamili. (e) Mmiliki wa Kadi anapokamilisha Muamala kupitia ATM, anaweza kuchagua kupokea taarifa iliyochapishwa ya Muamala. Hata hivyo, kwa miamala yote ya kuweka fedha/hundi kupitia ATM, Mmiliki wa Kadi anakubali kwamba ATM haitatoa  stakabadhi inayoonesha kiasi kilichowekwa; bali itatoa uthibitisho wa kupokea hundi au bahasha (kulingana na hali ilivyo) bila kutaja moja kwa moja kiasi kilichowekwa. (f)  Amana zote za fedha na hundi zitakuwa chini ya uhakiki wa Benki, na kiasi kitakachothibitishwa na Benki ndicho kitakachoingizwa. (g) Mmiliki wa Kadi anakubali kwamba maombi yanayofanywa kupitia ATM, kama vile maombi ya kitabu cha hundi, yatashughulikiwa siku inayofuata ya kazi. (h) Mmiliki wa Kadi anashauriwa kuhifadhi taarifa ya Muamala iliyotolewa na ATM.

3. MATUMIZI YA KITUO CHA BIASHARA

(a) Kadi inaweza kutumika katika Kituo chochote cha Biashara. Kadi ni kwa matumizi ya kielektroniki tu. (b) Baada ya Muamala kuthibitishwa na kuidhinishwa, Muamala utakuwa umekamilika, na hati ya muamala itatolewa na Kifaa cha POS ili ithibitishwe na Mmiliki wa Kadi. (c)  Mmiliki wa Kadi anashauriwa pia kukagua maelezo ya Muamala kabla ya kupokea bidhaa zilizonunuliwa na/au huduma zilizotolewa na kabla ya kuondoka kaunta ya Kituo cha Biashara. (d) Mara tu Kadi inapochanjwa, kuthibitishwa, na Muamala kuidhinishwa, Akaunti itatozwa haraka thamani kamili ya Muamala. (e) Benki haitawajibika kwa mipangilio au mazungumzo yoyote ambayo Mmiliki wa Kadi anaweza kufanya na Kituo cha Biashara, ikijumuisha (bila ukomo) aina au ubora wa bidhaa zilizotolewa na/au huduma zilizotolewa, au dhamana zozote zilizotolewa katika Kituo cha Biashara. Endapo Mmiliki wa Kadi ana malalamiko yoyote, yatatatuliwa na Mmiliki wa Kadi moja kwa moja na Kituo cha Biashara. Kushindwa kufanya hivyo hakutamuondolea Mmiliki wa Kadi (na endapo Kadi imetolewa kuhusiana na Akaunti ya pamoja, wamiliki wote wa Akaunti ya pamoja kwa pamoja na kila mmoja) wajibu wowote kwa Benki. Mmiliki wa Kadi anashauriwa pia kuijulisha Benki haraka kuhusu malalamiko, manung’uniko au migogoro yoyote na Kituo cha Biashara. (f) Benki haitawajibika kwa ada ya ziada yoyote itakayotozwa na Kituo cha Biashara. (g) Endapo Mmiliki wa Kadi atataka kubatilisha Muamala uliokamilika kutokana na kosa au kutokana na kurejesha bidhaa kwa Kituo cha Biashara, stakabadhi ya awali ya mauzo iliyotolewa na Kituo cha Biashara, pamoja na nakala ya stakabadhi ya kubatilisha, zinapaswa zihifadhiwe na Mmiliki wa Kadi. Urejeshaji/ubatilishaji makato kutokana na miamala hiyo utashughulikiwa kwa njia ya isiyo ya kielektroni na utafanywa na Benki baada ya kupokea nyaraka zinazohusika tu. (h) Iwapo Mmiliki wa Kadi, au mtu yeyote aliyeidhinishwa kutumia Kadi, atatoa mamlaka iwe kwa kuhusisha kuponi iliyosainiwa, vocha ya usajili, maelekezo ya simu au atatoa namba ya Kadi ili kufanya ununuzi au kupata taarifa ya fedha bila kuwasilisha Kadi (kama vile kwa agizo la barua, agizo la simu au intaneti), athari yake kisheria itakuwa sawa na ile ya Kadi kutumika na Mmiliki wa Kadi na vocha ya mauzo au nyaraka nyingine yoyote (au vocha ya kutoa fedha) kusainiwa na Mmiliki wa Kadi. Benki itaitoza Akaunti ya Kadi kwa kiasi cha miamala yote ya Kadi, na Mmiliki wa Kadi atawajibika kuilipa Benki kiasi chote kilichotozwa, iwe vocha au nyaraka hiyo imesainiwa na Mmiliki wa Kadi au vinginevyo, na bila kujali haki au wajibu wowote kati ya Kituo cha Biashara na Mmiliki wa Kadi.

4. KUPOTEA AU KUIBWA KWA KADI AU NAMBA YA SIRI

Mmiliki wa Kadi anatakiwa kuchukua tahadhari zote zinazostahili ili kuhakikisha usalama wa Kadi na Namba ya Siri wakati wote, na kuzuia kupotea na/au matumizi ya Kadi au Namba ya Siri kwa mtu mwingine yeyote. Kwa hiyo, Mmiliki wa Kadi hatakiwi kamwe kumwonesha mtu yeyote Namba yake ya Siri kwa hali yoyote ile. Iwapo Kadi itapotea au kuibwa, au iwapo Namba ya Siri itaonekana kwa mtu asiyeidhinishwa, Mmiliki wa Kadi anatakiwa kuiarifu Benki haraka kuhusu kupotea, kuibwa au kuonekana huko. Taarifa yoyote ya mdomo inapaswa ithibitishwe haraka kwa maandishi. Mmiliki wa Kadi (na endapo Kadi imetolewa kwa Akaunti ya pamoja, wamiliki wote wa Akaunti ya pamoja kwa pamoja na kila mmoja wao) atawajibika kwa Muamala wowote uliotekelezwa kabla ya Benki kupokea taarifa ya maandishi kuhusu kupotea, kuibwa au kuoneshwa kwa Kadi au Namba ya Siri (kulingana na hali itakavyokuwa).

5. ADA NA TOZO ZA HUDUMA

Kwa kila Mmiliki wa Kadi, Benki itakuwa na haki, kwa hiari yake kamili na ya pekee, kutoza na kukata katika Akaunti ada na tozo zozote katika vipindi mbalimbali na kumjulisha Mmiliki wa Kadi, ikijumuisha (bila ukomo) ada ya awali ya utoaji wa Kadi, ada ya utoaji upya na/au ubadilishaji wa Kadi, ada ya huduma kwa matumizi ya Kadi kwa kiasi kitakachobainishwa na Benki katika vipindi mbalimbali kwa matumizi ya kadi, na tozo kwa utekelezaji wa Miamala kama Benki itakavyobainisha katika vipindi mbalimbali. Kushindwa kwa Benki kumjulisha Mmiliki wa Kadi hakutaathiri kwa namna yoyote ile haki ya Benki kukusanya ada na tozo hizo kutoka kwa Mmiliki wa Kadi (na endapo Kadi imetolewa kwa ajili ya Akaunti ya pamoja, wamiliki wa Akaunti ya pamoja). Iwapo Kadi itatumika katika ATM zinazomilikiwa na Washirika wa Mtandao wa Pamoja wa Benki, ada ya huduma inaweza kutozwa na mwendeshaji wa ATM na/au mtandao wa uhamishaji wa kielektroniki kwa utekelezaji wa Muamala unaohusika.

6. NAMBA BINAFSI YA UTAMBULISHO

Ili kumwezesha Mmiliki wa Kadi kutumia Kadi, Namba ya Siri itatolewa kwa Mmiliki wa Kadi. Namba hiyo ya Siri itatumwa kwa njia ya posta na/au kukabidhiwa kwa Mmiliki wa Kadi baada ya kuthibitishwa kwa utambulisho wake, na Mmiliki wa Kadi atahakikisha kuwa anaipokea katika bahasha iliyofungwa. Namba ya Siri inaweza kubadilishwa hapo baadaye na Mmiliki wa Kadi, kwa tahadhari zake mwenyewe, kupitia ATM yoyote inayotoa huduma hiyo. Usalama wa Namba ya Siri ni muhimu na unapaswa udumishwe na Mmiliki wa Kadi wakati wote. Mmiliki wa Kadi (na endapo Kadi imetolewa kwa ajili ya Akaunti ya pamoja, wamiliki wa Akaunti ya pamoja, kwa pamoja na kila mmoja wao) anaweza kuwajibika kwa matumizi yasiyoidhinishwa ya Kadi; na maelekezo yoyote yanayotolewa kwa kutumia Kadi na Namba ya Siri, iwe kwa pamoja au kwa kila moja, kwa hiari kamili ya Benki, yanaweza kuchukuliwa kuwa ni maelekezo ya Mmiliki wa Kadi. Mmiliki wa Kadi atahakikisha kuwa hamwoneshi mtu yeyote Namba ya Siri, na atachukua tahadhari za kutosha kuzuia mtu mwingine yeyote kuiona Namba yake ya Siri ikiingizwa kwenye ATM au Kifaa cha POS. Inashauriwa Mmiliki wa Kadi aikumbuke Namba ya Siri kichwani na afute taarifa zozote zilizoandikwa.

7. USALAMA WA NAMBA YA SIRI

Mmiliki wa Kadi anatakiwa:

• kutoonesha Namba ya Siri kwa mtu yeyote, ikijumuisha (bila ukomo) Mmiliki mwingine wa Kadi, mwanafamilia au rafiki;
• kuchukua tahadhari ili kuzuia mtu yeyote kuiona Namba ya Siri ikiingizwa kwenye ATM au Kifaa cha POS;
• kutoandika au kuonesha Namba ya Siri kwenye Kadi au mahali pengine popote, hata kwa njia ya kificho; aihifadhi kichwani na afute taarifa yake yoyote.

8. KUREJESHA/KUBADILISHA KADI

Kadi iliyotolewa kwa Mmiliki wa Kadi itabaki kuwa mali ya Benki na inapaswa irejeshwe kwa Benki pale itakapohitajika. Mmiliki wa Kadi anatakiwa kuirejesha Kadi kwa Benki kwa ajili ya kufutwa iwapo hataki tena kuitumia, au endapo Benki, kwa sababu yoyote ile, itaondoa huduma. Mmiliki wa Kadi hatakiwi kuitumia au kujaribu kuitumia Kadi baada ya kupokea taarifa ya kufutwa au kuondolewa kwa huduma. Baada ya kupokea maombi ya maandishi ya kubadilisha Kadi iliyoharibika au iliyopotea, Benki, baada ya kufanya uthibitisho unaohitajika, inaweza kutoa Kadi mbadala na kuikata Akaunti kwa ada ya ubadilishaji inayotumika kwa wakati unaohusika.

9. USITISHWAJI

Mmiliki wa Kadi anaweza kuacha kutumia Kadi na huduma za kadi ya Benki zinazotolewa na Benki wakati wowote kwa kutoa notisi ya maandishi kwa Benki, ikiambatana na kuirejesha Kadi ikiwa imekatwa vipande viwili. Mmiliki wa Kadi (na endapo Kadi imetolewa kwa ajili ya Akaunti ya pamoja, wamiliki wa Akaunti ya pamoja) ataendelea kuwajibika kwa Miamala na/au ada zote zilizotekelezwa hadi Benki ipokee na kuthibitisha notisi ya maandishi ya usitishwaji. Benki itakuwa na haki ya kusitisha huduma za kadi ya Benki wakati wowote kwa kuifuta Kadi hiyo, bila kutoa sababu, baada ya kutoa notisi ya siku saba (7). Notisi hiyo itatolewa ama kwa posta kwenda kwenye anwani ya Mmiliki wa Kadi iliyofikia mwisho kwa Benki, au kwa baruapepe kwenye anwani ya baruapepe iliyobainishwa katika Fomu ya Maombi. Notisi itachukuliwa kuwa imetolewa siku saba (7) baada ya kutumwa kwa posta au siku saba (7) baada ya kutumwa kwa baruapepe, kulingana na hali itakavyokuwa. Baada ya usitishwaji, iwe kwa maombi ya Mmiliki wa Kadi au na Benki, Benki haitalazimika kurejesha kiasi chochote kwa Mmiliki wa Kadi (na endapo Kadi imetolewa kwa ajili ya Akaunti ya pamoja, kwa mmiliki yeyote wa Akaunti ya pamoja), iwe ni ada zilizolipwa awali au vinginevyo.

10. TAARIFA YA AKAUNTI

Miamala yote inayofanywa kwa kutumia Kadi itaonekana katika Taarifa ya Akaunti ya kila mwezi na itazingatia Vigezo na Masharti ya Jumla yanaiyosimamia Akaunti.

11. ADA NA TOZO ZA SERIKALI

Ushuru, ada, kodi au tozo zozote za Serikali au mamlaka nyingine zinazohusika za kodi zinazohusiana na chochote zitalipwa na Mmiliki wa Kadi na kukatwa na Benki katika Akaunti.

12. AKAUNTI NA KADI NYINGI

• Kikomo cha utoaji wa fedha cha kila siku kwa Kadi kitahusu jumla ya utoaji wa kila siku unaofanywa kutoka katika Akaunti zote zinazohusishwa na Kadi hiyo.
• Endapo Akaunti ni ya pamoja na mamlaka ni either/or survivor, baada ya kila mmiliki wa Akaunti ya pamoja kujaza na kutia saini Fomu ya Maombi, mmiliki yeyote wa Akaunti ya pamoja anaweza kupewa Kadi inayohusiana na Akaunti hiyo.
• Endapo Akaunti ni ya pamoja na Kadi zimetolewa kwa zaidi ya mmiliki mmoja (au wote) wa Akaunti ya pamoja, kila Kadi itakuwa chini ya kikomo cha utoaji wa fedha cha kila siku kwa Kadi inayohusika.

13. GHARAMA ZA UTEKELEZAJI

Mmiliki wa Kadi (na endapo Kadi imetolewa kwa ajili ya Akaunti ya pamoja, wamiliki wa Akaunti ya pamoja kwa pamoja na kila mmoja wao) ataifidia Benki kikamilifu na bila masharti kwa gharama zote zitakazotumiwa na Benki katika kutekeleza au kujaribu kutekeleza Vigezo na Masharti haya, au katika kukusanya kiasi chochote kinachodaiwa na Benki kutoka kwa Mmiliki wa Kadi, ikijumuisha ada zote za kisheria, ada za kufungua mashauri mahakamani na matumizi mengine yote.

(j) Benki inaweza kutoa au kuhamisha haki na mafao yake wakati wowote.

15. DHIMA YA MMILIKI WA KADI NA BENKI

(a) Mmiliki wa Kadi (na endapo Kadi imetolewa kwa ajili ya Akaunti ya pamoja, wamiliki wa Akaunti ya pamoja kwa pamoja na kila mmoja wao) atawajibika kikamilifu kwa kila Muamala unaotekelezwa kwa kutumia Kadi. Muamala wowote unapaswa utekelezwe kwa namna ambayo haitaweka wazi taarifa za siri zinazoonekana kwenye Kifaa cha POS kwa mtu yeyote mwingine.

Benki inaweza kumjulisha Mmiliki wa Kadi kuhusu marekebisho na/au mabadiliko hayo; hata hivyo, kushindwa kwa Benki kutoa taarifa hiyo hakutaathiri kwa namna yoyote ile uhalali au utekelezekaji wa Vigezo na Masharti kama yalivyorekebishwa na/au kubadilishwa.
