2.2. Cuanto is subject to know-your-customer obligations and to obligations on the prevention of money laundering, terrorist financing and the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. In compliance with those obligations, the User expressly authorizes Cuanto to:

3. Nature of the Services and of the relationship
3.1. Cuanto operates an online marketplace through which Sellers offer their products and services to Buyers. Under the Marketplace Service, Cuanto makes available to the Seller the tools to create and manage its Store, displays its products, channels the Orders placed by Buyers, and makes the Online Payment Service available to the parties.
3.2. The Order is a sale relationship between the Buyer and the Seller, legally binding between them. Cuanto is not a party to that sale, does not own the products offered and is not liable for them, without prejudice to the functions Cuanto expressly assumes under Section 4 in respect of the collection and transfer of payments.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cuanto may act as merchant of record in respect of certain payment methods, card brands or jurisdictions, where the rules of the payment networks or applicable law so require. Acting in that capacity does not alter the sale relationship between the Buyer and the Seller, nor the responsibilities the Seller assumes under Section 4.1.
3.3. The relationship between Cuanto and the User is strictly commercial and independent. The Agreement does not create between the parties any partnership, association, joint venture, economic group, franchise, or employment or subordination relationship of any kind. Each party is exclusively responsible for the obligations arising from its own activity, including tax, labor, administrative and commercial obligations.
4. Seller Section
4.1. The sale belongs to the Seller
The Seller is the seller of the products or services it offers through the Platform. The Seller is solely responsible for: setting prices; the existence, quality, condition, composition and characteristics of the products; holding the permits, licenses and authorizations required by law for its activity; compliance with consumer protection law; issuing any applicable tax receipts; and determining, withholding and paying the taxes applicable to its sales.
The Seller shall hold Cuanto harmless against any claim, demand, penalty or damage arising from a breach of the foregoing.

4.2.3. Cuanto shall receive from the Acquirer the sums generated by the Orders and, in respect of those sums, (i) shall carry out the applicable Settlement and (ii) shall transfer to the Seller the resulting difference. To that end, the Seller expressly consents to the Settlement being carried out before the final transfer in its favor is made.
4.2.4. Cuanto's liability under the Online Payment Service is limited to undertaking the administrative steps required to make the transfers due to the Seller. Cuanto shall not be liable for the temporary or permanent unavailability of the Acquirer, the payment networks, the payment service providers or the financial institutions involved, nor for delays in the processes required for those transfers.
4.2.5. Cuanto may disclose its role in the collection and transfer of payments to Acquirers, processors, card brands, financial institutions, auditors and competent authorities, where necessary or convenient for the provision of the service or for regulatory compliance.

4.3.2. Cuanto's obligation to transfer any sum to the Seller is subject to and conditioned upon: (i) actual receipt of the corresponding funds from the Acquirer; (ii) application of the deductions and set-offs provided for in Section 4.4 and in Annex II; and (iii) the absence of any of the withholding grounds set out in Section 4.5.
4.3.3. Accordingly, the weekly frequency set out in Section 4.3.1 does not constitute an unconditional payment obligation. Where any of the circumstances described in Section 4.3.2 applies, the transfer shall be made once that circumstance has been resolved, and this shall not constitute a breach by Cuanto nor give rise to any right to indemnification, interest or compensation in favor of the Seller.
4.3.4. The Seller has a maximum period of twenty-five (25) calendar days, counted from the date each Settlement is communicated or made available on the Platform, to raise objections. Once that period elapses, the Settlement shall be deemed accepted and any inaccuracy or error shall be deemed waived, with no possibility of a subsequent claim.
4.4. Deductions and set-off
4.4.1. Cuanto shall deduct from the Seller Funds, before the transfer, the Amounts Owed that are due at the time of Settlement. The deductible items are detailed in Annex II.
4.4.2. Cuanto may set off and deduct from any sum it is due to transfer to the Seller the amounts the Seller owes it on any account, including Amounts Owed generated previously, provided the obligation is due at the time of set-off. Cuanto may likewise withhold and deduct any applicable taxes.
4.4.3. Where the Seller Funds are insufficient to cover the Amounts Owed, the Seller shall pay the difference within thirty (30) calendar days of Cuanto's request.
4.4.4. The Seller is liable to Cuanto for the Chargebacks, refunds and penalties arising from Orders placed in its Store, including any fines or penalties imposed on Cuanto by card brands, payment networks, Acquirers or authorities as a consequence of the Seller's activity.

Cuanto may withhold, suspend or condition the Settlement and the transfers to the Seller where:
- a) there are open Chargebacks, Buyer claims or pending disputes;
- b) fraud, misuse of the Platform or suspicious activity is detected;

- e) there is a legal or regulatory risk associated with the transfer, or a competent authority so requires; or
- f) the banking information registered by the Seller is not in the Seller's name.
The withholding shall be maintained for as long as necessary to resolve the cause that gave rise to it, and Cuanto shall inform the Seller of the reason, except where applicable law prevents it.
4.6. Prohibited and restricted activities
The Seller may not offer, sell or promote through the Platform the products, services or activities listed in Annex I, nor use the Platform for purposes prohibited by applicable law or by the rules of the card brands and payment networks.
A breach of this Section constitutes a material breach and entitles Cuanto to immediately suspend the Store, withhold any pending sums in accordance with Section 4.5 and terminate the Agreement, without any liability.
Cuanto may update Annex I where required by applicable law, the card brands, the payment networks or its payment service providers.
5. Buyer Section

5.2.3. That payment shall be deemed to have occurred at the moment the Buyer makes it through the Platform, regardless of when Cuanto carries out the Settlement and transfers the funds to the Seller.
5.2.4. Should Cuanto fail to transfer the corresponding sums to the Seller, the Seller's sole recourse shall be against Cuanto, and in no case against the Buyer, who is discharged in accordance with Section 5.2.2.

6.6. Survival. Termination does not release the parties from obligations assumed previously, nor does it affect Cuanto's ability to pursue collection of outstanding Amounts Owed. Sections 4.4, 5.2, 8, 9 and 11 survive termination.
7. Regulatory compliance
7.1. International sanctions.
