In order to manage risk, Coupl may limit the funding sources available for your use to fund any particular transaction. For example, we may limit your funding sources for a particular transaction to debit cards or your net banking account. Each funding source will have a different dispute resolution mechanism and the relevant mechanism will be followed should your transaction turn out to be unsatisfactory.

You agree to allow Coupl to recover any amounts due to Coupl by debiting your Coupl Account balance.
