1.1. We, F&F Fintech Pte. Limited (“F&F”), are a Singapore-incorporated company, which operates an online funding platform (“Platform”), accessible via F&F’s website, at https://www.foodandfinance.asia/ (“Website”), which allows a Singapore company borrower (the “Borrower”) to seek funding by way of loans (“Funding”), pursuant to funding request(s) (“Funding Request(s)”) posted on F&F’s Platform.
1.2. These terms (“Platform Terms”) describe how Funding Request(s) may be posted and how F&F may fulfill such Funding Request(s). They also set out the terms and conditions of any confirmed arrangement to be entered into between a Borrower and F&F (“Arrangement”). These Platform Terms shall be deemed to include:
1.3. F&F may change these Platform Terms from time to time, at F&F’s discretion, but any such change will only apply to Arrangements entered into after F&F has uploaded the new Platform Terms which will state clearly the date from which they become effective. Any new Platform Terms shall be made available on F&F’s Website but the Borrower agrees and acknowledges that it is primarily responsible for keeping themselves updated, from time to time, of any such changes.
1.4. In the event of any inconsistency between the Platform Terms and the terms and conditions governing the credit facility granted to the Borrower (“Facility Agreement”), the Facility Agreement shall prevail.
2.1. We are an “excluded moneylender” under the Moneylenders Act (Cap. 188) of Singapore. Therefore, we do not provide moneylending services to individuals.
2.2. We may assign a credit score to entities who apply for a credit facility offered by F&F, for the purposes of assessing their eligibility for such credit facility and assigning them with an appropriate maximum credit limit and risk level. This shall not constitute a regulated activity under the Securities and Futures Act (Cap. 289) of Singapore.
3.1. We do not provide any form of investment advice or recommendation to any Borrower regarding any Funding Request(s) or Arrangement.
3.2. All data available on F&F’s Platform is strictly for information purposes only and should not be regarded as an offer, solicitation, invitation, advice or recommendation on F&F’s part to buy or sell any securities or other capital markets product or financial services.
4.1. Subject to these Platform Terms, the Borrower may, from time to time, publish information about their history and/or operations (“Borrower Data”) on the Platform. As a convenience to F&F, we may also (but shall not be obliged to) publish additional data about a Borrower, as extracted or obtained from independent third-party sources (“Borrower Public Data”).
4.2. We are not responsible for and make no representation whatsoever regarding the accuracy, completeness or otherwise of any Borrower Data or Borrower Public Data.
5.1. To be eligible to make an application for a credit facility from F&F via the Platform, an entity must:
5.2. An application to be registered as a Borrower (“Application”) must be made via the Website accompanied by the prescribed information and documents, and must meet any additional verification procedures that F&F may, in its sole discretion, implement on a case-by-case basis (including credit checks). F&F may, in connection with such verification procedures, disclose information contained in the Application and/or the prescribed information and documents provided by the Borrower to F&F, to other financial institutions, banks, credit bureaus, credit agencies, and other analogous entities.
5.3. F&F shall endeavour to review each Application within one (1) day from the date of its submission, provided that all the relevant documentation submitted is accurate and complete.
5.4. If the Application is successful, we will notify the applicant by way of electronic mail at the email address provided in the Application. Subject to the applicable laws, we reserve the right to decline, in our sole and absolute discretion, any Application to register with the Platform, without assigning any reason.
6.1. Following the successful registration as a Borrower, each Borrower will be allocated a virtual account on the Platform (“Borrower’s Account”), with a unique username and password. Each Borrower will also be assigned the appropriate maximum credit limit (“Maximum Credit Limit”) and risk level based on F&F’s assessment of the information and documents submitted by the Borrower.
6.2. The Borrower’s Account shall allow the Borrower to access and use the Platform to submit Funding Request(s), and to issue and/or receive communications, instructions and documents from F&F in relation to such Funding Request(s).
6.3. The Borrower’s Account shall be for the exclusive use and benefit of the Borrower and each Borrower’s rights and entitlements as reflected in its Borrower’s Account may not be assigned or transferred without F&F’s prior written consent.
6.4. Each Borrower shall be responsible for taking all necessary steps within its control to ensure the security and integrity of its Borrower’s Account at all times, including, but not limited to, keeping the Borrower’s username and password to the Borrower’s Account strictly confidential.
6.5. All Borrowers must immediately notify us should they become aware of any breach or threatened breach of the security or integrity of their Borrower’s Account and shall continue to be liable for any communications and/or instructions issued, and/or transactions effected via their Borrower’s Account prior to such notification.
6.6. We may, from time to time, require Borrowers to reconfirm the information that have been provided to us in their Application. Failure to reconfirm or meet the prevailing requirements may result in the Borrower’s ability to use the Platform (including, but not limited to, making Funding Request(s)) being suspended, restricted, withdrawn or otherwise terminated, in full or in part, without prior notice.
7.1. Upon successful registration as a Borrower, the Borrower may apply for advance(s) (“Advance(s)”) of amount(s) which are within the Maximum Credit Limit of the Borrower by submitting Funding Request(s) in the form set out at Annex A of these Platform Terms via the Platform. The Borrower will be required to indicate the amount, interest rate and loan tenure in the Funding Request(s).
7.2. The Funding Request(s), once successfully submitted via the Platform, shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
7.3. F&F shall endeavor to review the Funding Request(s) within one (1) day (inclusive of days which are not Business Days) from the date of its submission, provided that all the relevant documentation submitted by the Borrower is accurate and complete.
7.4. The Borrower will be notified of the outcome of the Funding Request(s) via a notification posted to the Borrower via the Platform. Subject to the applicable laws, we reserve the right to decline, in our sole and absolute discretion, any Funding Request(s) without assigning any reason.
7.5. The Borrower shall not be allowed to make any further Funding Request(s) until the Borrower has duly paid at least four (4) instalment payments in respect of existing credit facilities granted by F&F, and provided that the Borrower will not exceed its Maximum Credit Limit if such further Funding Request(s) were approved.
7.6. Following the approval of the Borrower’s Funding Request(s), the Borrower shall be issued an electronic Facility Agreement containing the terms and conditions of the credit facility granted by F&F. The Borrower shall execute the Facility Agreement within three (3) Business Days from the date of issuance, failing which the Facility Agreement shall lapse and no longer be valid for acceptance.
7.7. Each of the Advance(s) given by F&F to a Borrower, or payment made by a Borrower pursuant to a Facility Agreement from time to time shall be correspondingly reflected as a debit or credit (as the case may be) to the Maximum Credit Limit of the Borrower, within a reasonable amount of time.
We reserve the right to require each Borrower to duly substantiate, to our satisfaction, their source of funds when making payments pursuant to the Facility Agreement.
9.1 If the Borrower requests an amendment to or withdrawal of any Funding Request(s), F&F may (but shall not be in any way obliged to), at its sole and absolute discretion, allow the Borrower’s request, provided that the Borrower shall pay F&F on demand an administrative fee of S$100.00 (or such other amount as the Lender may determine in writing from time to time) to cover F&F’s administrative costs in responding to, evaluating and/or effecting that request.
9.2 In consideration of F&F’s services in providing the Platform and facilitating the Facility Agreement with the Borrower, F&F shall be entitled to charge a processing fee equivalent to 5.00% of the amount of the Advance(s) to be provided under each Notice of Drawing in the form approved by F&F (or such other amount as the Lender may determine in writing from time to time), which shall be deducted upfront from any Advance(s) prior to disbursement from F&F to the Borrower.
9.3 If the Borrower fails to identify any payment it makes to the Lender under the Facility Agreement by indicating the full name of the Borrower in the payment description, the Borrower shall pay the Lender on demand an administrative fee of S$30.00 (or such other amount as the Lender may determine in writing from time to time) to cover the Lender’s administrative costs in processing such unidentified payment from the Borrower.
9.4 If the Borrower commits any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default (as defined in the Facility Agreement), including, but not limited to, any default in making any payment or part thereof when due under this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay the Lender an administrative fee in the amount set out in the Notice of Drawing (or such other amount as the Lender may determine in writing from time to time)for each occurrence of Event of Default or Potential Event of Default in relation to the Advance provided under such Notice of Drawing. Such administrative fee shall become immediately due and payable by the Borrower, and shall be applied towards defraying the Lender’s administrative costs in connection with the Event of Default or Potential Event of Default.
Each Borrower acknowledges to F&F that each of them are solely responsible for understanding and complying with their tax obligations in respect of any monies received pursuant to a Facility Agreement in any applicable jurisdiction in which those obligations may arise. Certain countries may have tax legislation with extra-territorial effect regardless of the Borrower’s place of domicile or country of incorporation. We do not provide tax advice and Borrowers are advised to seek independent legal and tax advice if they are in any doubt.
