Terms and Conditions

The Client contracts the Services with one or more Kushki companies, depending on whether it processes its payments in one or more countries where Kushki may have a controlled company, in such a way that, if it processes its payments in a single country, it will constitute a single legal relationship with the respective Kushki company. If, on the other hand, it processes its payments in more than one country where Kushki has a controlled company, a separate legal relationship will be established with each Kushki company operating in each country where the Client processes its payments, thus having several counterparties.

By affiliating, registering with and/or making use of the website, mobile applications, APIs, digital tools and software owned by Kushki (the “Platform”) and/or contracting Kushki’s Services, the Client is bound in accordance with the scope of this legal instrument. Therefore, these T&C’s constitute a binding agreement between the Client and Kushki (jointly referred to as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party”).

In accordance with the above, by accessing, using the Platform and/or creating an account on the Platform (“Client Account”), the Client expresses and reiterates its consent and acceptance of these T&C’s.

Defined terms shall be capitalized and shall be interpreted as such only when used in this format. Such definitions shall be equally applied in the singular or plural form.

This business model is handled through codes directly managed by the Client with the corresponding Acquirers and/or processors. Chargebacks and reversals must be managed by the Client and/or the Acquirer, as applicable. Under this model, Kushki operates as a technology enabler or as an Acquirer, as applicable.

2. PLATFORM AND TERMS OF SERVICE

   Under the T&C’s, Kushki grants the Client a temporary, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable, limited and fee-based license to use the Platform and the Services to process Transactions and facilitate the acceptance of payments by Users to the Clients and/or their Related Third Parties, through the Payment Methods.

   
   

   1. OPERATION OF THE PLATFORM

      
      

      1. Use of the Services through API. Through the Platform, the Client may make use of the Services using the Kushki API. The API support information can be consulted by the Client at https://docs.kushki.com, a channel through which the Client is informed about the status, technical and operational issues of the Service.

         
         

         By contracting the Services and making use of the Platform, for which the Client must log on to the website https://www.kushki.com/, the Client may create an account (the “Client Account”), following the instructions contained in the Platform and providing an email address and password.

         
         

         Kushki will provide the Client with API keys in test mode or in production mode, as appropriate upon Client verification or to activate the Client's Account. The Client is responsible for (i) changing the API keys from test mode to production mode, once the Client Account has been activated, (ii) safeguarding the passwords and API Keys, (iii) implementing the necessary protocols and security measures to prevent unauthorized access by third parties to Client Account information, and (iv) making proper use of the Services provided by Kushki.

         
         

         Kushki may deny the account activation in test or production mode if the Client (i) fails to comply with the security requirements set forth in the T&C’s, (ii) provides invalid information, (iii) engages in Unauthorized Activities, or (iv) incurs any other grounds contemplated in the T&C’s, the Services Agreement or Kushki's policies, as updated from time to time.

         
         

         In case of requiring the blocking or replacement of the API Keys, the Client must request this from Kushki through the Platform, using the channels provided for this purpose.

         
         

      2. Data Check and Verification. By accessing the Platform, using and/or creating a Client Account on the Platform, the Client authorizes Kushki to verify, directly or through third parties, at any time, the data provided, including but not limited to, credit information, KYC and AML/FT related data. If the information provided to create and/or use the Client Account is false or inaccurate, Kushki may deny access to the Platform at its sole discretion, as well as remove any content related to the Client.

         
         

         By using the Platform, the Client agrees to comply with the following data check and verification policies:

         
         

         1. Verification. Kushki may (i) verify the accuracy of the information provided by the Client, in accordance with the Applicable Law and/or Kushki's policies, (ii) require additional information documenting the accuracy of the information entered by the Client in the Client Account, as well as any other evidence it deems appropriate to verify that all necessary AML/FT requirements have been met in accordance with the operating rules and/or regulatory guidelines issued by the Authorities and/or the Participants; and (iii) audit the

            Client's Account, directly or through a third party, at any time, to confirm compliance with its policies. Any audit will be carried out making every effort to avoid disrupting the regular operation of the Client or its Related Third Parties.

         2. Requirements of the Authorities. The Client expressly authorizes Kushki to share with the Authorities and/or Participants the information provided by the Client, when so required, in accordance with the Applicable Law.

            
            

      3. The Client Account. Once the Client Account has been created, the Client may log on to the Platform with its email and password to complete its registration by entering the information and/or documentation requested in Kushki’s database (the “Electronic Registration”). Once the Electronic Registration is complete and under the administrator profile, it will be able to create, edit and delete multiple profiles at its option (“Profiles”) and access the Services.

         
         

         All activities performed in and through the Client Account and the Profiles create obligations between Kushki and the Client, and the Client shall be liable for any activities carried out in its Client Account, using its username and password. Thus, the Client (i) releases Kushki from any liability arising from mishandling or misuse of the information entered on the Platform, including misuse or leakage of information regarding its Personal Data and Payment Instruments, (ii) will hold Kushki harmless from any action, claim, suit or proceeding of any nature associated with the use of its Client Account; notwithstanding the foregoing (iii) it will immediately inform Kushki of any suspected unauthorized use or compromise of its password, as well as the assignment of a new password.

         
         

         The information entered by the Client in the Platform will be available from mobile media or electronic devices with an Internet connection.

         
         

         It is forbidden to use the Platform for Unauthorized Activities. Any disregard of this prohibition shall be considered grounds for termination of the Services Agreement and shall entitle Kushki to (i) terminate the relationship with the Client without requiring a judicial or extrajudicial notice,

         (ii) restrict the Client's access to or use of the Platform, and/or (iii) delete the information that has been provided to Kushki. It is the Client's obligation to cooperate with Kushki in the investigation of security incidents or risks or Fraudulent Transactions, as well as to take any actions agreed between the Parties for the resolution of incidents and the minimization of detected risks. If the Client refuses to perform these actions, Kushki may suspend the Services without liability.

         
         

   2. KUSHKI TERMS OF SERVICE

      
      

      Among the responsibilities and obligations of the Client are, by way of example and without limitation: (i) configuring the amount that will be charged to Users, (ii) making sure that the Payment Methods offered are available, (iii) considering the expiration dates of the payment links or smartlinks once issued.

      
      

      Without prejudice to other terms set forth in these T&C’s ́s, and as applicable to each Payment Method, the Services are subject to the following terms:

      
      

      1. Electronic Receipt. The Client or its Related Third Parties, as applicable, must generate an electronic receipt for each online Transaction or operation carried out by Users through their

         online sales platform, in accordance with current banking, commercial, and/or fiscal (in case of invoices) standards, as well as any other requirements under the Applicable Law.

         
         

      2. Equality in Conditions of Sale of Products and/or Services. The Client and/or the Related Third Parties undertake to comply with the requirements established by the Authorities or the Applicable Law regarding equality of conditions for the sale of products and/or services, for each Payment Method, in all Transactions, and shall be liable for their compliance before Users.

         
         

      3. Mandate. With the acceptance of the T&C’s, the Client grants Kushki a general mandate to contract on its behalf services, programs, functionalities, improvements, security measures and, in general, to enable in its name all those services or developments offered by the Participants, which result in the improvement, update or compliance of the Services with the requirements and/or regulations of the Participants. Through this mandate, the Client authorizes Kushki to carry out all tasks or activities necessary for the certification, implementation, testing and, in general, putting into production of the services, programs, functionalities, improvements, security measures and/or developments that are contracted. This general mandate shall not require the specific endorsement of the Client as to the terms of the contracting carried out by Kushki on behalf of the Client, except in those cases where the service, program, functionality, improvement, security and/or particular development contracted implies the assumption of a payment obligation, additional to the payment of the Fees known and/or accepted by the Client by signing the Services Agreement.

         
         

      4. Returns and Cancellations. The following rules apply for payments made through the different Payment Methods:

         
         

         1. When a User requests the cancellation of a Transaction due to products or services paid for and not received and/or rendered in an inadequate or not agreed upon manner, the Client shall issue a service cancellation note for the actual amount without applying any commission charge.

         2. The cancellation note must be requested on the same day of the transaction. Depending on the time the request is filed, the result may be: (a) Cancellation - void: If the request is made on the same day of the Transaction before the cut-off time, depending on the applicable country, the Client must request it through the Payment Method by which the Transaction was carried out or through the Platform and the cancellation will be reflected on the same day; or, (b) Reimbursement - refund: If the request is made after the cut-off time, depending on the applicable country, the Client must request it directly from Kushki through the available support channels and/or by email to soporte@kushkipagos.com. The refund process may take up to 45 days to be reflected as a credit note in the User's or Client's account, as applicable.

         3. The cut-off times for cancellations by country will be those informed by Kushki through the Platform.

         4. Kushki reserves the right not to cancel or refund the amounts or balances corresponding to the sale(s) until the Client has sufficient funds or balances to cover the full amount of the requested cancellation or refund.

         5. The Client authorizes Kushki to debit from the Client's Operating Account and/or bank account (as defined in the MERCHANT COMMISSION, CHARGES, PAYMENT METHOD AND BILLING section) the amount corresponding to such cancellations, and to deposit these

            amounts in the bank account linked to the Card to which the charge was made. Cancellations may only be made up to the amount charged to the Card.

         6. In the event of cancellation of a charge that had previously been processed as successful, Kushki shall not be liable for any damages and/or losses that may arise as a result. In this regard, the Client shall hold Kushki harmless against any claim arising out of such cancellation, which is not directly caused by Kushki's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         
         

      5. Reimbursement of Commissions for Refunds and Cancellations. Kushki will not reimburse commissions related to cancellations and/or refunds. The reimbursement policies in case of cancellation of charges that the Client has established for the reimbursement of purchases made with Cards must be as favorable as the reimbursement policies for purchases made with other Payment Instruments, or in any case, must comply with the Applicable Law. The Client shall inform or ensure that the holders of Payment Instruments are informed of the return or reimbursement policies at the time of purchase of the products and/or services, in the manner established by the Applicable Law.

         
         

      6. Fraudulent Transactions and Chargebacks. Kushki complies with domestic and international regulations applicable to the prevention of transactions with funds of illicit origin. Therefore, the Client (i) shall be subject to the provisions of the T&C’s for the processing of Transactions, (ii) shall refrain at all times from carrying out Fraudulent Transactions; and (iii) shall document and respond to Chargeback and/or cyber fraud requests that may arise.

         
         

         1. Procedure. Kushki will facilitate the processing service with the relevant Acquirers and/or Issuers, as applicable, but assumes NO responsibility for Chargebacks and, therefore, has no obligation to pay them. The Client shall comply with the deadlines in calendar days as notified under Chargeback Documentation Time Limits to provide Kushki with the necessary supporting documentation to follow up on a dispute; these time limits will be counted from the moment when Kushki marks the Chargeback in its consoles or applications for the Client's knowledge.

            
            

         2. Time limit for filing. As a general rule, the Client shall be liable for Fraudulent Transactions and/or Chargebacks submitted up to: (i) 180 business days for Mexico, (ii) 120 business days for all other countries, or (iii) 540 business days in the cases required by the Brand Holders for some MCCs, or for Transactions associated with the acquisition of products and/or services that are not enjoyed immediately at the time of purchase, such as airline tickets, lodging services, tourist plans, among others. These periods shall be counted from the date of purchase of the products or services and/or from the date of termination of the Services Agreement. In any case, these time limits may be adjusted in accordance with the Applicable Law, or the rules defined by the Participants.

         3. Liability of the Client. The Client shall be solely liable for compensating any damages and/or losses that may be caused to Cardholders or Participants for incurring in a Fraudulent Transaction, regardless of any other liability attributable to the Client, its Related Third Parties, subordinates, representatives or employees. By accepting the T&C’s, the Client releases Kushki from any liability or claim derived from or associated with the execution of Fraudulent Transactions, the processing of Chargebacks, the exceeding of the monthly limits tolerated for Chargebacks by the Brand Holders, or the suspension of the Services as a consequence of these events or the failure by the Client and/or its Related Third Parties to implement sufficient security measures to avoid Fraudulent Transactions and/or Chargebacks, and undertakes to hold Kushki harmless for such events.

            
            

         4. Payment of Transactions subject to Chargebacks. The Client authorizes and expressly instructs Kushki not to charge to its Operating Account, and/or transfer to its bank account, the equivalent to the amount of Transactions that present Chargebacks, given that these may occur, without limitation, for any of the following reasons:

            1. Unauthorized use of Cardholder information, or stolen information, including, without limitation, the use of stolen Cards.

            2. Transactions made through unauthorized use of information that is safeguarded by the Client or its Related Third Parties, if applicable.

            3. If the date, amount, or authorization number contained in the transaction receipt does not match that provided by Kushki for the respective Transaction.

            4. If the transaction receipt presented by the Client or its Related Third Parties contains any alteration in the data.

            5. If the Client or the Related Third Parties are unable to prove that they did deliver or provide the products or services paid for with the Transactions.

            6. Differences between the deposits of the transaction vouchers or undue or improper credits.

            7. Failure by the Client to comply with the processes, measures and/or security policies agreed in the Services Agreement or established by Kushki prior to the respective Transaction.

               
               

         5. Use of Client Information. The Client authorizes Kushki to share with the Authorities and/or Participants information about the Client, its Related Third Parties or their Transactions, if there is a valid requisition under the Applicable Law and/or reasonable suspicion that the Platform has been used for an unauthorized or unlawful purpose.

            
            

         6. Measures to address high volumes of Chargebacks. In the event that the level of Chargebacks, in terms of volume and amount, exceeds or, in Kushki's opinion, may exceed the monthly levels of Chargebacks tolerated by the Brand Holders, or reaches unusual levels, or Kushki's Risk Department believes that the Client has not implemented adequate security and fraud controls, Kushki may (i) demand the implementation of additional fraud prevention controls, such as 3DS, or as determined by Kushki's Risk Department, or (ii) suspend the processing of new Transactions for a particular Related Third Party, until the Client and the Related Third Party have taken appropriate corrective measures in their respective systems, and Kushki has verified and accepted them and/or until acceptable levels are restored.

            The Client acknowledges that the introduction of additional fraud prevention controls does not guarantee 100% protection against Fraudulent Transactions and, therefore, agrees that the implementation of corrective security and fraud mitigation measures, such as 3DS, does not relieve it from liability for the payment of any associated Chargebacks, penalties, or charges, whether or not Fraudulent Transaction Chargebacks are incurred.

            
            

      7. Reimbursement of Chargeback Fees. As a rule, Kushki will not reimburse any Chargeback- related Fees. However, the regulations of each country shall apply, in accordance with the Applicable Law.

         
         

      8. Protective Measures. Kushki reserves the right to take the protective measures mentioned in this section if any of the following cases arises:

         
         

         1. If any statement made by the Client in the Services Agreements is false, incorrect, or inaccurate;

         2. If the Client fails to fulfill its obligations as established in the T&C’s ́s and/or the Applicable Law;

         3. If the Client or its Related Third Parties change their commercial activity without previously informing Kushki, so that it can carry out the corresponding validations to continue providing the Service;

         4. If the Client, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, and/or its Related Third Parties, do not supply the products and/or services acquired by Users through the Payment Methods;

         5. If the Client interrupts or suspends a significant portion of its operations temporarily or otherwise;

         6. If, in the judgment of Kushki's risk team, the Client has a high or disproportionate number of disputes, Fraudulent Transactions or claims for charges or balances.

            
            

            In addition to Kushki's rights under the Applicable Law, it may resort to the protective measures set forth below, with or without prior notice to the Client:

            
            

            1. Modify any authorization procedure.

            2. Modify the frequency of payments.

            3. Make a Chargeback for any transaction disputed by a Cardholder.

            4. Suspend the performance of the Agreement, terminate the relationship with the Client and/or cancel the Client Account immediately, without liability for Kushki.

            5. Set up a sufficient Guarantee Fund to cover Kushki's performance of the Client's obligations under these T&C’s. This will be done in accordance with the conditions and/or mechanisms objectively determined by Kushki's risk team, which could include the deduction of a percentage of the TPV.

            6. Kushki may increase the amount of the Guarantee Fund if its risk analysis so requires due to situations associated, among others, with the financial situation of the Client or its Related Third Parties, coverage of the Client with respect to the Related Third Parties, increases in transactions, Fraudulent Transactions, or Chargebacks.

               Kushki will refund to the Client the amount held in the Guarantee Fund once:

               • The Protective Measure has disappeared, which must be proven by the Client to the satisfaction of Kushki's risk team;

               • The Client is in good standing for the performance of its obligations under the T&C’s, including the payment of the Client's Liabilities; and

               • After: (i) 180 days in the case of Mexico, (ii) 120 days for the other countries, or (iii) 540 business days in the cases required by the Brand Holders for the applicable MCCs, after the date when the respective Transactions were processed, or after the termination of the Services Agreement.

                 If required by Kushki, the Client shall set up a Special Guarantee Fund for a specific Related Third Party, based on the objective analysis performed by Kushki's risk team and according to its specific requirements.

            7. Withhold from the Client any outstanding balances due under these T&C’s ́s, until the Client has satisfactorily liquidated and/or settled all the Client's Liabilities.

               
               

      9. Payment of Client Liabilities - Setoff. If the funds available in the Operating Account are insufficient to cover the Client's Liabilities, Kushki may deduct these from the Guarantee Fund. Likewise, if the Guarantee Fund is insufficient, Kushki may deduct the amount of the Merchant Liabilities from the amounts of future sales or other Operating Accounts of the Client's affiliated companies.

         
         

         In any case, Kushki may, without prior notice, set off the amount of any monetary obligation of the Client to Kushki under the Services Agreement and/or the T&C’s against any funds the Client has in its Operating Account. If the obligations are in different currencies, Kushki may convert any of the obligations at a market exchange rate in accordance with the Applicable Law, as part of its payment acceptance activity, for clearing purposes.

         
         

         Kushki may demand other mechanisms to guarantee the fulfillment of the Client's Liabilities, such as insurance, letters of credit, or others, which will be proposed by the risk team to the Client under objective and reasonable criteria.

         
         

      10. Client Liability. The Client and/or the Related Third Party are solely liable for (i) any warranty on the product or service purchased by the Users, as well as for its shipping, delivery, and/or quality; (ii) ensuring that the data and information provided by Users is true and reliable; (iii) complying with applicable consumer protection regulations in accordance with the Applicable Law; and (iv) directly dealing with and managing all requests submitted by Users regarding these matters, through the channels available for this purpose.

          
          

      11. Whitelists. The Client may request Kushki to temporarily suspend the security rules for a particular User and/or Related Third Party by submitting a written request indicating the period during which the suspension will be in effect, which in any case may not exceed 72 hours. During the term in which the security measures and rules are suspended, the Client shall be liable to Kushki, to the Users and/or to Related Third Parties for the Transactions performed and/or for any contingency associated with the lifting of the measures and/or the Transactions performed during such lifting, such as the commission of fraud and/or the improper use of the Card information. The Client expressly releases Kushki from any liability, involvement, or obligation with respect to communications, transactions, interactions, disputes, litigation, or any form of controversy arising out of or originating from acts or omissions committed by the Client, Users, Related Third Parties or any third party, occurring during the term set forth herein for the suspension of security measures.

          
          

          Kushki may deny the request for suspension of the safety regulations or terminate the respective request, in case: (i) the Participants so request, restrict and/or prohibit, and/or (ii) the Participants and/or Competent Authority report the Users and/or the Third Parties linked to a Fraudulent Transaction, and/or (iii) Kushki's risk team so determines for reasonable cause.

          
          

      12. Indemnity. The Client releases Kushki from any liability, involvement or obligation with respect to communications, transactions, interactions, disputes, litigation, or any form of relationship between the Client and/or its Related Third Parties, and the Users, in accepting payments that are not directly attributable to Kushki for the provision of its Services. In this regard, the Client shall be solely responsible for its interactions and business relationship with the Related Third Parties and/or Users and agrees to hold Kushki harmless against any associated claims. However, Kushki reserves the right, but not the obligation, to monitor the Client's interactions with the Related Third Parties and/or Users where such interactions relate to or may affect the Services.

          
          

      13. Client Taxes and Invoicing. The Client and/or the Related Third Parties shall hold Kushki harmless and shall be solely responsible for (i) meeting their tax obligations, including tax returns and receipts, withholding tax reports, customs matters, and/or contributions obtained based on deposits resulting from their business activity; and (ii) retaining outside legal counsel independent of Kushki to perform such obligations under the Services Agreement. Kushki does not provide advice on customs, exchange, or tax matters.

          
          

      14. Transfer of Funds Abroad. If the Client requests the transfer of funds abroad, and unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, Kushki will make the necessary arrangements under the Applicable Law with the foreign exchange market intermediaries for the purchase of foreign currency and will inform the applicable rate for the respective Transactions to the Client, which exclusively agrees to assume the tax and exchange risk and transaction costs. Kushki will provide a copy of the supporting documents of the transaction for control by the Client. All taxes or levies incurred, including the GMF (tax on financial transactions) and/or ISD (tax on foreign exchange outflows), when applicable, shall be borne exclusively by the Client.

          
          

      15. Term. Unless otherwise agreed, the term of the Services Agreement shall be indefinite.

          
          

3. MERCHANT COMMISSION, CHARGES, PAYMENT METHOD AND INVOICING

   
   

   For access to the Platform and use of the Services, the Client shall pay Kushki a commission that remunerates the Transaction processing activities performed by Kushki (the “Commission”). Kushki will charge the Commission for processed transactions, whether authorized, rejected or declined, in accordance with the conditions agreed with the Client.

   
   

   Dispute Fee: Kushki will charge a Dispute Fee, which will be quantified and billed at the end of each month. The Fee will be calculated according to the managed item and the country where the respective Transaction that was the object of an incident managed by Kushki has been processed, in accordance with the Current Rates, which may be modified from time to time, for which the Client will be previously informed.

   The acceptance of these T&C’s is an express authorization by the Client to debit the Commission and the Dispute Fee from the Client's Operating Account.

   
   

   1. COMMISSIONS AND FORM OF PAYMENT UNDER THE AGGREGATOR MODEL:

      
      

      1. The amount of authorized Transactions on a specific operating day and before the applicable cut- off time in each jurisdiction, as reported on the Platform, will be deposited by Kushki into the bank account(s) registered by the Client, within the settlement period agreed with the Client, in compliance with the Applicable Law and according to the operation of the Participants used for the Transaction. The foregoing, provided that the funds credited to the Client for the payment of a Transaction appear as completed in the Operating Account. A successful Transaction shall be deemed completed when Kushki has received the deposit record from the Participant or payment provider in the Operating Account. The only official means of notification to credit a successful Transaction will be through the API.

         
         

      2. Kushki shall be required to transfer the corresponding balance in the Client's Operating Account by means of an interbank transfer to the bank account assigned by the Client.

      3. The information provided by the Client regarding bank accounts must be truthful and accurate. Kushki will only deposit the balances into the bank account provided by the Client and will not be liable if the account information provided was incorrect.

         
         

      4. Kushki reserves the right to modify the Commission and shall notify the Client at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date thereof, unless the modification is due to (i) a judicial, arbitral or administrative decision, or (ii) a change in Kushki's commercial terms with the Participants, in which case the new Commissions shall be effective upon Kushki's notification to the Client. Kushki shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Client of any such changes in a timely manner. If the Client does not agree to the new Commissions, it may terminate the Services Agreement early, without liability.

         
         

      5. Unless otherwise expressly agreed, subject to the Applicable Law, Commissions established in fixed rates shall be adjusted annually as of January of each year, in accordance with the consumer price index of the immediately preceding year or the inflation rate certified by the competent authority in each country, as applicable.

         
         

      6. The Client shall meet a Monthly Transaction Minimum - MTM that generates Commissions for Kushki of not less than the equivalent in local currency, depending on the applicable country, of USD $1,000 (one thousand United States Dollars), unless otherwise stated in the Services Agreement. The equivalent in local currency will be informed by Kushki to the Client. In case the Client does not reach the MTM, Kushki will charge the balance. The MTM may be modified by Kushki upon thirty (30) days prior notice to the Client.

         
         

      7. The Client unconditionally and expressly authorizes Kushki to deduct, withhold and/or offset from the payments received in its name and account in the Operating Account and/or bank account indicated by the Client, without the need for any prior notice or formality, the amounts necessary to pay Kushki the sums due under the following items:

         
         

         1. The amount of the Client's Liabilities;

         2. The Value Added Tax, or its equivalent in each country, payable on any payment item;

         3. Income tax withholdings as determined by the Applicable Law;

         4. The amount of deposited Transactions with subsequent adjustments or status changes (Cancellations, Refunds, Errors);

         5. The amount of deposits derived from Fraudulent Transactions, including deposits where there are indications that they are derived from possible Fraudulent Transactions;

         6. Amounts required to set up or maintain the Guarantee Fund;

         7. MTM amount or missing amount; and

         8. Other Fees

         9. Any other amount that is enforceable in terms of these T&C’s and/or the Applicable Law.

            
            

      8. Kushki agrees to deliver the corresponding invoice for the Commission charged to the Client at the latest within the first 10 (ten) calendar days of each month; this invoice must comply with the tax requirements in force in the Applicable Law. The Client has a maximum term of sixty (60) calendar days from the date of receipt of the respective invoice to submit to Kushki any discrepancies or differences with respect to the settlement made by Kushki for the respective period; upon expiration of such term without any objections, it shall be understood by the Parties that there is no difference between them for the invoiced amounts.

         
         

      9. The Client agrees and acknowledges that all payments processed through the Platform will be settled in accordance with the terms and conditions of each Payment Method processed.

         
         

      10. In the event that the funds in the Operating Account are insufficient to pay the Client's Liabilities, or Kushki is unable to set off in its favor the amounts owed to it, the Client shall pay such amounts within two (2) calendar days following Kushki's communication requesting payment; if the Client does not make the payment within said term, default interest shall accrue in favor of Kushki, calculated at the maximum rate allowed by the Applicable Law, from the date on which the payment should have been made until the date on which it is received to satisfaction, without requiring a legal notice. Kushki will notify the Client of the total amount to be transferred to cover the negative balance and suspend the collection of default interest.

          
          

      11. Other Fees. Subject to the provisions of the Terms of Service, Kushki shall collect the Other Fees monthly. For this purpose, the Provider, through its Affiliates, shall submit an invoice for the corresponding consideration within the first 10 (ten) calendar days of each month.

          
          

          The Client undertakes to pay the Other Fees within a maximum of ten (10) calendar days from the date of receipt of the relevant invoice. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy in the amount invoiced, the Client shall submit the relevant claim and the necessary evidence within five (5) calendar days from the date of receipt of the relevant invoice; if no objection is received

          within this period, the parties shall be deemed to have agreed that there is no discrepancy in the amounts invoiced.

          
          

          In the event of late payment, the Provider may deduct the amount due for Other Fees from the Operating Account. In return, Client shall acknowledge and pay late payment interest at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law in each jurisdiction in the Territory from the due date for payment until the effective date of payment.

          
          

          Until payment of any amount due, the Provider reserves the right to suspend the Services, including, but not limited to, withholding future payment(s) in favors of the Client to pay the amount due.

          
          

   2. COMMISSIONS AND FORM OF PAYMENT UNDER THE GATEWAY MODEL.

      
      

      The form of payment of the Commissions for Transactions processed under the Gateway Model shall be as agreed in the Services Agreement. In any case, if the Client does not pay the corresponding Commissions within the agreed terms, default interest shall accrue in favor of Kushki, calculated at the maximum rate allowed by the Applicable Law, from the date on which the payment should have been made until the date on which it is received to satisfaction, without requiring any legal notice.

            In any of these cases, Kushki reserves the right to determine whether or not the Client may continue to provide the Services to such Related Third Parties.

      4. It does not guarantee the authenticity or legality of the Transactions that are processed through its Platform. The risk of fraud by impersonation of a User, or the risk of illegality of a Transaction due to the activities of the Client and/or the Related Third Parties are entirely borne by the Client. However, Kushki reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Services in case it detects that the Platform is being used for any activity contrary to the Applicable Law.

         
         

      5. It makes its Platform available so that the Client or its Related Third Parties can market their products or services through e-commerce sites, applications or physically, so that Users are allowed to pay the price of the goods or services they acquire. For the above, the Client grants Kushki a mandate to charge Users the price of such goods and services, in the name and on behalf of the Clients.

         
         

      6. Kushki processes transactions and settles payments as an Acquirer, Aggregator or payment service provider, but does not provide banking services.

         
         

      7. Kushki has the licenses and/or authorizations required under Applicable Law to provide the Services.

         
         

   2. CLIENT REPRESENTATIONS

      
      

      By making use of the Platform and/or the Services, the Client makes the following representations, which have been deemed by Kushki as a requirement for providing the Services:

      
      

      1. It is an independent company, duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, or is a person qualified to contract.

      2. It is duly registered and has all necessary licenses, approvals and permits to do business in the jurisdictions in which it operates.

      3. It has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the obligations assumed under the Services Agreement.

      4. It will comply with the laws and regulations applicable to the operation of its business and the performance of its obligations under the T&C’s.

         
         

6. RIGHTS AND PLATFORM OWNERSHIP

   
   

   All rights, licenses, title and interest in and to the Platform are and shall remain the exclusive property of Kushki. The Platform is protected by copyright laws and current international treaties, and may not be rented,

   leased, loaned or transferred in any way without the express authorization of Kushki, holder of the rights to the Platform.

   
   

   All names, logos and trademarks included in the Platform are the property of Kushki, its Clients or content providers, and none of these elements may be used for any purpose whatsoever without the express written authorization of the owner of such distinctive signs. These T&C’s do not grant the Client the right or license to use the Kushki name and/or any of Kushki's trademarks (whether or not registered with the relevant authority), intellectual property rights, logos, domain names and other distinctive brand features. In addition, all materials contained in the Platform, including without limitation: designs, drawings, computer programs (source code and object code), databases, graphic, audiovisual and photographic material, texts, inventions, models, patents, among other Intellectual Property rights, are the sole and exclusive property of Kushki.

   
   

   The observations, opinions, suggestions or comments that the Client may provide in relation to the Platform will be merely informative and may or may not be used by Kushki for its benefit, so that Kushki may use such observations, opinions, comments or suggestions in any way it deems appropriate, without generating any obligation to the Client.

   
   

   1. CLIENT PROHIBITIONS

      
      

      It is strictly forbidden for the Client: (i) to reproduce, modify, alter, distribute any copy, publicly communicate, transform, make changes to, or otherwise use or exploit the Platform, in whole or in part and/or by any means, other than as permitted by these T&C’s, and (ii) to apply any reverse engineering process for the purpose of using or altering any of the modules and/or the source code and object code of the Platform, without the prior written authorization of Kushki.

      
      

7. AUTHENTICATION AND DATA SECURITY

   
   

   As authentication elements, the Client will have (i) an email address, and (ii) a password. However, Kushki may implement new Client authentication mechanisms, which will be duly notified for their use. As to the temporary passwords that will be provided to the Client when creating the Client Account, the Client undertakes to change them the first time it logs in to the Platform. Therefore, once the Client has created a new password, Kushki shall not be responsible for the inappropriate use thereof, since it does not know the passwords and/or the Profiles entered by the Client. To change passwords, the Client shall follow the procedures indicated on the Platform. In case the Client does not change the password and accesses the Platform, the Client releases Kushki from all liability for its use.

   
   

   Kushki uses the TLS (Transport Layer Security) cryptographic protocol to protect the information that the Client shares with Kushki. Nevertheless, Kushki may use other protocols in the future, according to the developments it makes to its Platform.

   
   

   The Client agrees and undertakes to comply with the security guidelines established by Kushki in the T&C’s. Kushki (i) assumes no liability for the Client's lack of or incorrect implementation or misuse of security mechanisms and procedures, and (ii) will not provide the Services if the Client does not implement the necessary procedures and tools to ensure its compliance with the necessary security measures in accordance with Kushki's policies and industry standards.

   It shall be the obligation of both Kushki and the Client, as applicable, to protect all data associated with (i) Cards, (ii) payments by trasfer, (iii) cash payments through authorized networks, (iv) other Payment Methods enabled on the Platform, or (v) any other information relating to Cardholders or Users.

   
   

   1. COMPLIANCE WITH PCI STANDARDS

      
      

      Given that Kushki is certified under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (“PCI-DSS”) and procedures, any Client, Related Third Party or technology partner or supplier shall align and comply with such standards when storing, processing or transmitting Cardholder data. The Client will not store CVV2 information at any time. PCI DSS information can be found in the PCI Council website.

      
      

      In the event that any Participant or the Applicable Law requires the Client or a Related Third Party to be certified in accordance with PCI DSS standards, the Client authorizes Kushki to provide support through its current AoC (Attestation of Compliance) and comply with the responsibilities’ matrix established to be technically certified in the operation of the Payment Instruments to be processed. Likewise, such third parties grant their consent to Kushki to carry out all activities necessary for the validation of compliance with the standards and guidelines issued by the PCI DSS when the PCI DSS certification process so requires.

      
      

      In case of suspicion of unauthorized or illegal use of the Kushki Platform, Kushki may block a Transaction.

      
      

      When the Client and/or its Related Third Parties store, transmit and/or process data contained in the Cards, the following provisions shall apply to them:

      
      

      1. It shall be the Client's responsibility to take the necessary actions to protect and guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of the Card Transaction information, especially between its points of sale and its systems, and in any case, they must be transmitted through secure lines.

      2. The data contained in the Cards are strictly secret and confidential; therefore, the Client must protect such secrecy and confidentiality, and use the data as authorized by the Cardholder, as well as exclusively in its relationship with Kushki for the purposes set forth in the T&C’s or in the Services Agreement.

      3. The Client agrees to provide truthful, sufficient and timely information about its entity, its partners or shareholders, its executives, its activity, number of Transactions or any other information required by the Brand Holders and/or rules. In the event that reports are received regarding non-compliances, objections, observations or recommendations, the Client shall develop a plan aimed at responding to them in accordance with the Brand Holders' requirements.

      4. In case the Client's web servers participate in the transactional flow of Cards, the Client agrees to perform a quarterly security scan of these, by means of an ASV (Approved Scan Vendor) tool and through a certified external entity. The result of each report must be an approval (“PASS”).

      5. The Client authorizes Kushki to examine, review and audit the Client's compliance with the PCI- DSS Standards at the Client's expense, whether through periodic reviews of the Client's and/or its Related Third Parties' documentation and information, visits to the Client's premises and checking of its equipment, answers to questionnaires or other requests for information and, in general, through any other reasonable actions aimed at the aforementioned purpose. The reviews and/or visits may be carried out at any time, during business days and hours and with at least 48 hours' notice and may be performed directly by Kushki personnel or by one or more third parties designated by Kushki.

      6. In the event that the Client detects that the Client and/or its Related Third Parties are not fully complying with the PCI-DSS Standards and/or that the security of the data contained in the Cards has been compromised in any way or there is a risk of compromise of such data, the Client agrees to notify Kushki immediately and in writing, indicating the nature of the non-compliance and/or compromise or risk of compromise, as well as the terms and manner in which it will be resolved.

      7. Upon failure by the Client to comply with one or more of the above provisions or if the security of the data contained in the Cards is in any way compromised or there is a risk of compromise, Kushki will be entitled to (i) suspend the operation of the Services for the duration of the non- compliance, and/or (ii) unilaterally terminate the Services Agreement, without liability for Kushki; and the Client will be obliged to reimburse Kushki and/or the Cardholders for any expenses, damages or losses arising from such non-compliance, including any fines or increased costs or fees that must be borne by Kushki, whether payable to the Authorities or to the Participants.

      8. In the case of data contained in the Cards that the Client and/or its Related Third Parties have already stored, the above provisions shall be fully applicable to such data.

      9. It shall be the Client's obligation to ensure that its Related Third Parties comply with all the foregoing provisions applicable to them, and it shall be liable for any breach of such provisions by its Related Third Parties and for any damages caused to Kushki, the Cardholders or third parties as a result of such breach.

      10. If the Client (Third Party Agent, aggregators, Payment service providers, merchant or other) engages a third party for the storage, processing or transmission of the information contained in the Cards, the Client must demand the same security controls required of it and is obliged to inform Kushki that such third party complies with the security measures in accordance with the controls defined in the security standards existing in the industry and definitions required by Kushki for the Services. The report must be sent to the mailbox seguridad@kushkipagos.com, also reporting security compliance issues or incidents that may constitute a risk to the security of this information.

          
          

8. NON-COMPLIANCE

   
   

   In the event of (i) a breach by the Client of any of its obligations under the Services Agreement, the T&C’s, and/or the Applicable Law, and/or (ii) at the request of a Participant, Kushki may suspend the Client's access to the Platform and/or close its Client Account, without prejudice to the legal actions available to Kushki in the event of the respective non-compliance.

   
   

   The Client agrees to hold Kushki harmless against any claim, complaint, lawsuit, legal action or proceeding of any kind arising out of its breach and shall indemnify Kushki for all expenses incurred in its defense, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, as well as any indemnification paid by Kushki.

   
   

9. WARRANTIES

   
   

   Except in cases of force majeure or extraordinary circumstances, Kushki will ensure the correct and proper operation of the Platform in accordance with industry standards, provided that the Client acts within the required parameters, operating capacity and computer systems, including an adequate Internet connection. Any malfunction of the Platform or any failure generated by causes directly attributable to the Client, User, Internet service providers, or third parties, will not be the Kushki's responsibility.

   
   

10. TECHNICAL SUPPORT

    
    

    During the term of the Services Agreement, Kushki undertakes to (i) provide technical support and advice to the Client so that the Client can make use of the Platform, (ii) address any technical failure that prevents or reduces the use of the Platform, (iii) respond to inquiries or failure reports submitted by the Client through the channels provided on the Platform, and (iv) make its best efforts to correct such reported errors or failures in accordance with the service levels applicable to the Client and the type of incident in question.

    
    

11. KUSHKI DISCLAIMER

    
    

    Kushki does not warrant or represent that the Client's use of the Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free. The Platform may eventually be unavailable because of technical or technological failures or circumstances beyond Kushki's control. Kushki shall make its best efforts to ensure that in the event of any failure, interruption or unforeseen circumstances related to the use of the Platform or Services, it will be resolved promptly and to the Client's satisfaction. However, the Clients, Related Third Parties and/or Users shall not make Kushki liable for or charge for any damages or losses caused by such failures.

    
    

    Kushki does not warrant that the service will be free from losses, corruption, attacks, viruses, interferences, hacking, entry or other security breaches, and the Client waives any and all liability to Kushki in connection therewith. In any event, Kushki will endeavor to apply industry best practices in the provision of the Services.

    
    

    If a payment is not deposited into the Client's Operating Account due to a failure of the payment provider or third parties, Kushki will notify the Client as soon as the issue is detected, but will not be liable for timing, delays, or third party defaults.

    
    

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

    
    

    Except as otherwise expressly agreed, and to the fullest extent permitted by the Applicable Law, Kushki's contractual liability shall be limited to direct, consequential, material, quantifiable and foreseeable damages that have been proven to be directly attributable to Kushki's actions or omissions. Kushki's liability shall in no case exceed the cumulative amount of the Commissions actually paid by the Client to Kushki during the last three (3) months preceding the date on which the damage is caused. This limitation of liability shall not apply in cases where the damages are the direct and exclusive result of actions or omissions that can be qualified as gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Kushki.

    
    

    The Client agrees that under no circumstances shall Kushki, its shareholders or employees be liable for loss of profits, loss of business opportunities, reputational damages, incidental damages, punitive damages, indirect damages, moral damages or the like.

    
    

    Kushki shall not be liable for: (i) any information that the Client and Users enter on the Platform, including information regarding personal data and Payment Methods and their use; (ii) any damages and/or losses that may be caused to Cardholders, holders of Payment Instruments, or Participants, as a result of any Fraudulent Transaction, regardless of any other liability that may be attributable to the Client, its subordinates, employees

    or any third party for causing or processing such transactions; (iii) the incorrect implementation or misuse of security mechanisms and/or the Client's decision to implement only its security and fraud prevention mechanisms, (iv) any review, verification and implementation of the procedure to comply with (a) the AML/FT requirements when contracting with and providing Services to third parties, and (b) that no activities prohibited by the Brand Holders or the Applicable Law are incurred. Therefore, the Client expressly releases Kushki from any liability arising from the foregoing and agrees to hold Kushki harmless from any claim. An exception to the foregoing is when the damages caused are directly and exclusively attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Kushki in respect of obligations expressly incumbent upon it in accordance with the provisions of the Services Agreement.

    
    

13. TERMINATION OF SERVICES

    
    

    In addition to the grounds set out in the Applicable Law or in other sections of the T&C’s, the Services Agreement shall terminate for any of the following causes:

    
    

    1. Mutual agreement of the parties;

    2. Total or partial breach of any of the obligations agreed in the Services Agreement that affects its development, which is not cured within ten (10) business days following the notice by the non- defaulting party to the party in default, or that cannot be cured;

    3. Unilaterally, by either Party, with at least thirty (30) calendar days' prior notice to the desired termination date;

    4. By Kushki:

       
       

       1. Immediately and without liability if so, required by any Participant or Authority. In this case, Kushki and the Client will try to resolve the conditions for termination in good faith.

       2. Immediately and without liability if, based on objective and/or verifiable information, it concludes that there are, or may be, reputational, legal, compliance, or other risks that prevent it from continuing to provide Services to the Client or Related Third Parties. It shall be at Kushki's discretion to decide whether to terminate or suspend the Services on such grounds. Reasons for reputational exposure may include, without limitation, the following: (i) If the interest rates applied to Users are not in line with the Applicable Law and/or reasonable market standards; (ii) if the Client fails to perform an adequate credit evaluation of its Related Third Parties or Users, in accordance with industry standards, (iii) if direct or imputed (sold to third parties) collection methods give rise to recurring complaints by Users, or may involve the commission of unfair practices, and (iv) if it is reasonably concluded that the Client or the Related Third Party does not comply with the rules of the Participants or the Applicable Law.

          
          

    5. Termination for Impossibility of Performance. In the event that the Client does not make an express request for termination of the Agreement and nevertheless suspends arbitrarily or without cause made known to Kushki, (i) the use of the Platform, (ii) the use and proper administration of its Operating Account, and (iii) fluid communication with Kushki in reference to the performance of the Services Agreement, for a term exceeding six (6) months, Kushki may understand that the performance of the Services became unenforceable without liability for Kushki. The termination of the Agreement due to the impossibility of performing the Services shall entail the following consequences:

       1. The outstanding obligations of both the Client and Kushki shall survive.

       2. Kushki may, if appropriate, deduct from the Client's Operating Accounts and/or those of its Related Third Parties the amount corresponding to the administration fee of the aforementioned Operating Accounts, which is 2.5% per month of the funds left in them by the Client;

       3. Kushki will send a minimum of three (3) communications to the Client, using the addresses for notices registered by the Client with Kushki, formalizing the date of termination of the Contract and informing the Client, if applicable, of the existence of available funds in its favor in the Operating Account.

       4. After five (5) years from the date of dispatch of the first notice of termination by Kushki, Kushki may dispose of the funds that, after the deductions authorized by the Client according to the rules provided herein, are still available in the Operating Accounts.

          
          

          In the event of any termination, the outstanding obligations of both the Client and Kushki shall survive.

          
          

14. SUSPENSION OF THE SERVICE OR AGREEMENT

    
    

    Without prejudice to the grounds for termination set forth in the preceding section, Kushki reserves the right to suspend the Services and/or the Services Agreement with the Client and/or a specific Related Third Party if it determines or has reasonable grounds to consider a breach or future breach of the conditions and obligations set forth in the T&C’s, which is not resolved by the Client or the respective Related Third Party.

    
    

    In these cases, (i) Kushki shall notify the Client and/or the Related Third Party of the decision to suspend the Services, pointing out the verified non-compliance or the reasons for the possible non-compliance, setting a term for the Client and/or the Related Third Party to resolve the situation or submit to Kushki a remediation plan describing in detail the corrective actions and the dates of their implementation; and (ii) upon receipt of a response from the Client and/or Related Third Party, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to implement the proposed or agreed solutions. If the Parties fail to agree on the remediation plan, the Client and/or the Related Third Party fails to respond to Kushki's notice or fails to comply with the remediation plan, Kushki shall be at liberty to proceed with the suspension and/or termination of the Services, at its discretion.

    
    

    If requested by a Participant, Kushki may suspend the Services without liability, for which the sole notification to the Client and/or Related Third Party shall be sufficient.

    
    

15. CONFIDENTIALITY

    
    

    The Parties agree to protect and keep confidential and not to disclose to any third party any Confidential Information (as such term is defined below) received from the other party or obtained from the Platform, its related companies, agents, representatives or otherwise discovered by the Client in connection with the use of the Platform and/or the Client Account, as the case may be.

    
    

    For the purposes of these T&C’s, “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all information that is not of public knowledge and that is or may be used, developed or obtained by the discloser and/or its related companies, agents, representatives or in any other way, as well as that which is clearly confidential for a technician in the matter, based on previously available information, which may be disclosed only as provided in the T&C’s and/or the Applicable Law. Confidential Information includes but is not limited to: (i) information,

    procedures and data obtained and/or developed by the discloser concerning or relating to its business or affairs; (ii) products or services; (iii) costs and pricing structures; (iv) analyses; (v) business and accounting methods; (vi) any written, graphic, electromagnetic information, including without limitation, technical information, source codes, documentation and other artifacts produced and developed by the discloser; (vii) software, including operating systems, applications and programming lists; (viii) organization charts, manuals and documentation; (ix) all production methods, processes, technology and trade secrets and market projects;

    (x) names of shareholders, current or investment partners; and (xi) all other similar and related information, in any form.

    
    

    The Parties agree to (i) use the Confidential Information only for purposes of fulfilling their obligations under the T&C’s; (ii) take such security measures as they deem necessary and reasonable, including, at a minimum, those used to protect their own confidential information; and (iii) adopt the necessary technical and organizational measures to a) guarantee the security and confidentiality of the Confidential Information, b) prevent its modification, adulteration, loss, consultation or unauthorized treatment, and c) detect deviations, intentional or not, of Confidential Information, whether the risks come from human action or from the technical means used.

    
    

    Whoever receives the Confidential Information may disclose it, solely and exclusively, to personnel who need to know such information in order to fulfill their obligations under the T&C’s, notwithstanding the fact that they shall remain responsible for the use that such personnel make of the Confidential Information, and shall be liable to the party that discloses the Confidential Information for any direct damage or loss that may arise as a result of such disclosure. The Parties declare that they are aware of the penalties incurred by a person for disclosure of Confidential Information, in accordance with the provisions of the Applicable Law.

    
    

    Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, the obligations contained in this section shall survive for a period of five (5) years after the termination of the Services Agreement.

    
    

16. DISCLOSURE AND USE OF MESSAGES AND COMMUNICATIONS

    
    

    The material sent to the Platform by Clients is not confidential, unless it is information so defined in the Confidential Information section. Kushki shall not be liable for any subsequent use or disclosure. All communications and other materials (including, without limitation, unsolicited ideas, suggestions or materials) sent to the Platform or to Kushki, by any means, shall become the sole and exclusive property of Kushki, and may be used by Kushki for any purpose, including commercial purposes, without compensation.

    
    

17. PRIVACY AND PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

    
    

    The personal data of the Users of the Platform collected by Kushki will be handled in accordance with the authorization received from the Client and the provisions of the Applicable Law, the T&C’s and the Privacy Policy included on the website and/or mobile applications and/or digital tools and/or Kushki offices, as these may be updated from time to time.

    
    

    The Client declares that it has collected, for itself and for the processing that under these T&C’s it declares to know and accept is carried out by Kushki, the authorization of the respective subjects for the processing of

    their Personal Data; therefore, the Client issues a mandate to Kushki to carry out, on its behalf, the processing of the Personal Data of the Client's Users.

    
    

    The Personal Data that may be accessed by Kushki include all Personal Data required for the provision of the Services, which are not considered as or embedded in Transactional Data.

    
    

    Kushki may (i) process the Personal Data for the sole purpose of providing the Services and shall be prohibited from using the Personal Data for other purposes, except for storage; (ii) delegate the processing activities of the Client's Personal Data to third parties; to this end, it shall enter into contracts with such third parties in which it shall include, at least, the same obligations set out in this clause.

    
    

    Considering its role in the payment chain, Kushki shall act as data controller or responsible for the processing of the Transactional Data, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Applicable Law in relation to their protection and processing. These data will not be destroyed or delivered to the Client upon request, due to the rules of the payment ecosystem and PCI DSS standards.

    
    

18. AUTHORIZATION OF CONSULTATION AND REPORT TO CREDIT BUREAUS.

    
    

    To the fullest extent permitted by the Applicable Law, the Client expressly and irrevocably authorizes Kushki to consult and report to any credit bureau, or source of information or credit rating agency, all information regarding its credit behavior, management of bank accounts, credit cards and, in general, any type of information related to the fulfillment or status of its obligations, assets, liabilities and, especially, the existence of overdue debts, or the improper use of the Services. The foregoing implies that compliance or non- compliance with its obligations will be reflected in the aforementioned databases, in which all data concerning its behavior with the financial sector are fully recorded. By virtue of this authorization, Kushki, its administrators, representatives, officers and/or employees are expressly authorized to use the consulted information for the purpose of analyzing potential credit risks, as well as to use, transfer or deliver such information to the Authorities. The information reflecting the Client's non-compliance will depend on the moment when the Client makes the payment of the obligations in default, considering the expiration periods established for such purpose.

    
    

    Furthermore, the Client authorizes Kushki to collect, store and use its data collected in connection with the Services Agreement and/or in the provision of the Services for sending communications, invitations to meetings, training, monitoring the provision of the Services, carrying out inspections or audits associated with the performance of the Services Agreement, measurements, consultations, control and/or analyses, responding to requests, complaints and claims and/or possible follow-up to cases, making invitations to contract, onboarding processes, and/or to send information to the Participants.

    
    

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Client declares to know that, as owner of the information, it is entitled to know, update and rectify its data, request proof of the time of its delivery and of the authorization granted for its processing; be informed of the use to which it has been put; file the appropriate complaints under the Applicable Law with the Authorities, revoke the authorization and/or request the deletion of its data in the cases where this is appropriate, as well as access them free of charge.

19. ADVERTISING

    
    

    Under these T&C’s, the Client authorizes Kushki to identify it as its client by any means, and to make use of the Client's trademarks, domain names, trade name or company name, solely in connection with the Services and the T&C’s. Moreover, the Client authorizes the use of its company information and logo in any success story to be developed jointly with Kushki, which will be notified in advance to the Client's Communications team.

    
    

20. AUDIT RIGHTS

    
    

    Kushki reserves the right to audit the Client, either directly with its own personnel or through independent auditors selected by Kushki, and/or by the Authority, which may have access to the Client's premises, personnel and relevant information and records for the purpose of verifying the Client's (i) compliance with the Services Agreement, the rules of the Brand Holders and the Applicable Law, especially, without limitation, with respect to AML/FT; (ii) the Due Diligence procedure to be performed on the Related Third Parties; (iii) the KYC procedure to be performed on the Related Third Parties; and (iv) the Client's risk and fraud prevention processes, controls over Related Third Parties and security.

    
    

21. NOTICES

    
    

    Any clarification or complaint in relation to these T&C’s must be notified by the Client to the Kushki company with which the Client has contracted the Services, through the communication channels provided by Kushki and informed to the Client, and sent to the e-mail soporte@kushkipagos.com.

    
    

    Kushki shall notify the Client through the Platform and/or to the email address registered in the Client Account.

    
    

    The Client acknowledges that legally required notices and any other information related to the rights and obligations arising from the T&C’s may be sent by Kushki electronically; and that electronic acceptance of T&C’s and Services Agreements shall have the same binding force as a handwritten signature.

    
    

22. APPLICABLE LAW

    
    

    Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, the following rules shall apply for determining the Applicable Law and the competent Authority or Court in case of dispute resolution:

    
    

    1. If the Client contracts the Services with a single Kushki company, the Applicable Law and Competent Authority shall be those set forth in the country-specific section for the country where the Kushki company is domiciled and with which the Client has contracted the Services.

    2. If the Client contracts the Services with several Kushki companies, the Applicable Law and Competent Authority shall be determined according to the country of domicile of the Kushki company with which the dispute arises.

    3. In case the Client contracts the Services with several Kushki companies and there are several disputes arising, or not, from the same event, the Applicable Law and Competent Authority shall be determined for each dispute according to the country of domicile of the Kushki company with which the dispute arises.

       
       

       These T&C’s are governed by the laws of the domicile of the Kushki company with which the Services Agreement is signed and/or from which the Client receives the Services.

       
       

23. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

    
    

    Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, the Parties irrevocably agree that, in the event of a dispute between them arising out of or in connection with the Services Agreement, they shall make their best efforts to find a solution through an out-of-court settlement process. If after thirty (30) calendar days from the notice of the start of the settlement process the dispute has not been resolved, the Parties freely and voluntarily agree to submit the dispute to the competent courts, in accordance with the Applicable Law.

    
    

24. ETHICAL CONDUCT AND ANTI-CORRUPTION STANDARDS

    
    

    The Parties agree to implement internal control mechanisms to prevent acts of corruption in the negotiations to be carried out in connection with the Services. Accordingly, they agree not to receive or offer, directly or indirectly, from and to employees, managers, or subordinates of the other party: (i) sums of money, (ii) any object of pecuniary value, or (iii) any other benefit or profit, in exchange for: (i) performing, (ii) omitting, (iii) or delaying any act related to the performance of their duties.

    
    

    The Parties represent and warrant that they, as well as their officers, employees, directors or, to the best of their knowledge and belief, subcontractors, (i) comply with the Applicable Law, especially that relating to criminal liability of legal persons, anti-corruption and local or international AML/FT regulations, as well as domestic and international regulations relating to the prevention of fraud, bribery, and corruption; (ii) are not the subject of investigations, accusations or proceedings relating to the violation of anti-corruption and AML/FT regulations; and (iii) have not been subject to criminal, disciplinary or contractual sanctions resulting from violations of such regulations.

    
    

    The Parties further state that any breach or misrepresentation in the above statements constitutes an irreparable breach of the Services Agreement, which gives the other party the exclusive right to terminate it.

    
    

    Each Party undertakes to inform the other of any notice received in connection with an investigation, proceeding, sanction or similar process, brought against it or against any of its officers, employees, directors, or subcontractors in connection with alleged breaches of the Applicable Law referred to in this Section, within two (2) business days following the date on which the relevant Party becomes aware of such notice; the Client shall notify Kushki through the reporting channel established on Kushki's Web Site.

    
    

25. FUNDING SOURCE DECLARATION

    
    

    The Parties state that their income comes from lawful activities, that they are not included in AML/FT lists administered by any domestic or foreign authority, and that consequently they undertake to answer to their counterparty for any damages that may be caused as a result of this statement. Therefore, the inclusion in the list of the Office of Foreign Assets Control - OFAC issued by the United States Treasury Department, the list of the United Nations Organization, the list of Terrorists of the United States of America, the list of the European

    Union of Persons Classified as Terrorists and the List of the European Union of Terrorist Organizations and other public, restrictive or binding lists related to the subject of money laundering and terrorist financing shall be just cause for termination of the Agreement by either Party.
