Service

As long as you meet your payment obligations and comply with the terms this Agreement, Payroll Panda will provide you the Service for the purpose of calculating payroll and its associated liabilities for your business. You may not use the Service on a professional basis for anyone other than you.

You consent to and authorise Payroll Panda at any time to obtain credit reports about you and/or your business, and to report adverse credit information about you and/or your business, to others, including the LHDN and any applicable statutory bodies. Payroll Panda may, at its discretion, decline to offer the Service to you for any reason, including in the event that the enrollment process is not satisfactorily completed, Payroll Panda is unable to verify satisfactory credit of you and/or your principals and/or for other lawful business reasons.

Prior to your initial payroll processing date, you must submit the completed and executed documents Payroll Panda requires for providing the Service, including your payroll and employee information, and any additional information requested by Payroll Panda. In performing the Service, you acknowledge and agree that Payroll Panda is not acting in a fiduciary capacity for you and/or your business and using the Service does not relieve you of your obligations under Malaysian laws or regulations to retain records relating to your data contained in Payroll Panda’s files.

The Service does not include obtaining access to the Internet for connecting to the Service. You acknowledge that the operation and availability of the communications systems used for accessing and interacting with the Service or to transmit information to the statutory bodies can be unpredictable and may, from time to time, interfere with or prevent access to the Service or its operation. Payroll Panda is not in any way responsible for any such interference with or prevention of your use of or access to the Service. In such cases, you must contact customer support by other means for instructions on how to calculate payslips for your employees and make statutory payments and submissions. You will, at your own cost and expense, obtain, install and, at all times during its utilization of the Service, maintain in good working order all software, hardware and other equipment necessary for you to perform in accordance with this Agreement. In the event of any failure of such software, hardware or other equipment, you will deliver to Payroll Panda all data which you would otherwise have provided that is necessary for Payroll Panda to perform Payroll Panda’s obligations in connection with the Services.

You agree not to:

• use the Service other than as authorized in this Agreement;

• use any device, software, or routine that interferes with any application, function, or use of the Service, or is intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept, or expropriate any system, data, or communication;

Payroll Account

You will designate and authorize either yourself and/or one or more individual users of the Service with authority to act on your behalf and to bind you and/or your business (each a “Payroll Administrator”), who may access the Service by entering a confidential email and password created by following the instructions provided via the Service and which will entitle them, depending on their designation and permissions given, to have authority to access, review, modify and/or provide approvals on your behalf. The Payroll Administrator will approve and submit the Payroll Information thereby authorizing Payroll Panda to create and transmit forms and files necessary to process your payroll and statutory body transactions.

You will, and will cause your authorized users to, take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of the authorization procedures and the email/password combination and related instructions provided by Payroll Panda. If you believe or suspect that any such email/passwords or related instructions have been known or accessed by unauthorized persons, you will immediately notify Payroll Panda in a manner affording Payroll Panda a reasonable opportunity to act on the information, and you acknowledge that failure to immediately notify Payroll Panda could result in unauthorized access to confidential information concerning you and your employees. Payroll Panda reserves the right to prevent access to the Service should Payroll Panda have reason to believe the confidentiality of the security procedure or the confidentiality of the email/passwords have been compromised. You are responsible for any actions taken on the Service by your Payroll Administrator and/or any other authorized users, and for any transactions resulting from your failure to maintain the confidentiality of your account. You agree that the provision of a email/password by you, your Payroll Administrator and/or any other authorized users, will have the same effect as providing a written signature authorizing electronic payments, submissions and other actions on the Service.

Payroll Information

Payroll Panda will notify you via electronic communication or by other means when all data necessary to begin the Service has been received and the enrollment process has been completed. You shall then, prior to submitting your first payroll, review for completeness and accuracy the Payroll Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Payroll Information” shall mean all information posted for your review on the Service such as, the information used to calculate and pay employee payroll, track your employee’s leave, payments of pcb/epf/socso in compliance with the laws and regulations of such statutory bodies. You must correct incorrect or missing Payroll Information, either by itself or by notifying Payroll Panda in the manner specified in the electronic communication and within the time period specified therein. You are fully responsible for the accuracy of all information you provide, submit and/or approve, including, without limitation any penalties.

You agree that by submitting each payroll (including the first payroll):

• you have approved all Payroll Information;

• you have waived and released any claim against Payroll Panda arising out of any errors in the Payroll Information which you have not yourself corrected or have not requested Payroll Panda to correct;

• any subsequent request for corrections will be considered special handling and additional fees may be charged. Final audit responsibility rests with you. Payroll Panda will not have any responsibility for verifying the accuracy of any data you provide or directly input via the Service or any other method.

Payroll Panda may permit, but shall not be obligated to permit your Payroll Administrator or other a designated representative to communicate with Payroll Panda by electronic mail or other means about the Service. You acknowledge that any such electronic mail communication or other means of communication will be made available for your benefit and convenience, that any Payroll Information, Entries or other instructions communicated to Payroll Panda will be deemed to have been fully authorized by you and you shall be fully responsible for the accuracy of such information including, without limitation, any tax or other penalties; and that, notwithstanding such deemed authorization, Payroll Panda may in its sole discretion refuse to accept or act upon any such instructions.

Payroll Panda, its employees and agents will hold in strict confidence all data furnished by you or produced by Payroll Panda under this Agreement; provided, however, that such parties will not be held liable if such data is released through other sources, or if Payroll Panda, its employees and agents release the data because of a reasonable belief that you have consented to such disclosure.

Payroll Panda will not be liable for any penalty, interest or other liability that results from inaccurate or incomplete information you supply. The payroll information must be reconciled with your employee’s previous payslips or previous payroll information for the current tax year. Thereafter, you shall timely and accurately update all wage and payroll information as necessary to reflect changes with additional information requested from time to time by Payroll Panda. It is your responsibility to submit complete and accurate information to Payroll Panda and to remit the fees due in connection with the Service.
