13. Data Collection

13.1. The Client shall submit relevant data to PayAccSys in good time according to the specified processing dates, times and methods for the specific services

13.2. The Client undertakes to ensure that the data furnished to PayAccSys is complete, accurate,

Not misleading and updated where necessary and hereby indemnifies PayAccSys from any obligation to verify the completeness, accuracy or correctness of any such data. The Client hereby confirms that:

13.2.1. The personal information of the data subjects provided by the Client to PayAccSys is justified by virtue of section 11(1)(b) of the POPI Act in that it is necessary to carry out actions for the conclusion or performance of a contract to which the relevant data subject is a party;

13.2.2. It has collected the personal information directly from the data subject in terms of Section

12(1) of the POPI Act and that direct collection from the Data Subject by PayAccSys is therefore unnecessary as contemplated in terms of sections 12(2)(c) and (f) of the POPI Act;

13.2.3. PayAccSys does not have to inform the Data Subject when collecting personal information seeing as it is not reasonably practicable in the circumstances of the particular case as envisaged in section 18(4)(e) of the POPI Act.

13.2.4. The Client acknowledges that PayAccSys relies solely on the data provided by the Client for the third party when receiving any cessions from the Client and therefore PayAccSys is not obliged to determine whether the name of the third party and/or the account number, branch clearing code or card number of such a third party refer to the same person.
