These terms and conditions constitute a contract between the USERS of the platform (hereinafter referred to as "User") and SG FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY S.A. (SG) for the purpose of using the payment processing service through a payment account.

REGISTRATION: Every User who wishes to use the Services must register and accept these Terms and Conditions of Use. To do so, they must complete the registration form with valid data and accurate, precise, and true personal information ("Personal Data").

The User undertakes to update the Personal Data as necessary. SG is not responsible for the accuracy of the Personal Data provided by its Users. Users guarantee and are responsible, in any case, for the truthfulness, accuracy, completeness, validity, and authenticity of the entered Personal Data. All the information and Personal Data entered by the User are considered a sworn statement.

SG reserves the right to request proof and/or additional information in order to verify the information provided by a User regarding Personal Data, as well as to temporarily or permanently suspend those Users whose data could not be confirmed.

Likewise, the User gives consent for the intermediary (mutual fund or cooperative or any third-party client of SG providing a platform to the User) to share with SG the personal data that SG requires to comply with Communication A 7328, UIF Resolution 76/2019, and any other subsequent regulations issued by BCRA or the Financial Information Unit that may be applicable.

It is hereby expressly stated that the User authorizes the Obliged Entity to share all the information and documentation contained in their file regarding their identification and the origin and legality of the funds with other obligated entities referred to in Article 20 of Law No. 25,246 or those that may modify, complement, or replace it.

SG reserves the right to reject a registration request or to cancel or suspend, temporarily or permanently, an Account (as defined below), in case of detecting inconsistencies or discrepancies in the information provided by a User or in case of detecting suspicious activities, without such a decision giving rise to any indemnification or compensation rights for the User.

USER ACCOUNT: Upon registration, the User will request the opening of an account on the platform, for which SG will generate a Unique Virtual Key (CVU) linked to the User's Account. The User will access their Account by entering their email address (username) and chosen password or personal key. The User undertakes to keep this information confidential. Therefore, the User will be solely and exclusively responsible for all operations carried out in their Account.

Use of the service on one's own account. The Account is personal, unique, and non-transferable, and its sale, assignment, or transfer is prohibited. The User may not allow or authorize the use of their Account by third parties. The services are only permitted to be used in one's own name and not on behalf of or for the account of third parties.

Purpose. Through their Account, the User will have the possibility to receive and make immediate payments by crediting funds to other CVUs or CBUs. The platform will allow the User to dispose of these funds through the processing of payment requests made by them.

SG is not involved in the obligation that gave rise to the Payment Processing Request. SG will not be responsible for, nor verify, the reasons, amount, or any other circumstance related to said Request, as well as the contracting capacity of the Users and the accuracy of the personal data entered by them. The User will be solely and exclusively responsible for all operations carried out in their Account. The User agrees to immediately notify SG, through appropriate and reliable means, of any unauthorized use of their Account, as well as any access or attempted access by unauthorized third parties. SG will not be held responsible for the misuse of the access key. The User is responsible for any losses that may arise from fraudulent, duplicated, unauthorized, or simply incorrect instructions, as well as for any potential damages that may cause to SG.

The User will be responsible for the payment of any fines, fees, penalties, damages, costs, or claims that are applied to SG as a result of chargebacks related to transactions made by the User.

Provision of Payment Processing Service to Platforms of other Entities. SG states that in the cases of Accounts opened through platforms (Virtual Wallet Applications) corresponding to other entities, to which SG provides the Payment Processing Service, it will be those entities that issue to SG the Request for processing a payment on behalf and for the account of the User. Therefore, the User accepts that SG is not involved and is unaware of the causes that gave rise to said request, and that SG will not be responsible for, nor verify, the reasons, amounts, and/or any other circumstances associated with the payment processing requests received from the developers of the Platforms.

Funds: Credits. Transfers. Withdrawals. In the User's Account, they can only receive money transfers or credits through the tools enabled in the Platform or mobile application.

Funds will be credited to the User's Account. The User will be able to dispose of the credited funds immediately to carry out the operations described in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. It is clarified that the User agrees, accepts, and authorizes the receipt of funds sent by other Users to their Account and the debit of any applicable charges.

Fund withdrawals will be made by transferring to a bank or virtual account indicated by the User, and according to their instructions. For any fund transfer requested by the User, they must pass through the CVU created by SG owned by the User for that purpose. Such transfer will be ordered immediately after the User's request to withdraw the funds is received. The most efficient channels available for fund transfers in the retail payment system will be used to carry out the transfer. Any expenses incurred by the transfer will be borne by the User.

User Declarations. Prohibited Uses. Unavailability of Funds. The User declares that in using the Platform, they will not violate any applicable laws, nor use it for a service, sale, or transmission that is prohibited by law or these Terms and Conditions, and will not engage in any activity that may be considered fraudulent, illegal, or suspicious of being so. The User will not use SG's services to transmit material that constitutes a crime or that may give rise, directly or indirectly, to civil liabilities, or that violates these Terms and Conditions. If SG believes that there is suspicion or indication of the use of the platform for any activity prohibited by law or these Terms and Conditions, it may reject, cancel, or suspend any payment processing, and/or temporarily block access and use of an Account and/or the use or availability of functionalities, and/or permanently cancel an Account. In such a case, the User will be responsible for any damages and losses that may have been caused to SG, its officials, employees, directors, agents, and/or employees, for which SG reserves the right to initiate any legal or extrajudicial actions it deems necessary. The User will be solely and unlimitedly responsible for the damages that their conduct may cause to SG or to other Users of SG's services.

Furthermore, it is strictly prohibited to carry out any operation that may be considered cash advance or loan, as well as depositing funds without a specific purpose. SG will consider, without limitation, cash advance any operation in which it detects that a User adds funds to their Account using credit cards and withdraws those funds; this activity also includes when a User submits a Payment Processing Request in favor of another User who later submits a new Payment Processing Request in their favor, and then requests the withdrawal of such funds.

For security reasons, funds credited to the Account and/or funds in the process of being credited (regardless of the payment method used for the transaction) may remain indefinitely unavailable when, at SG's sole discretion, there are strong suspicions of illegal activities, fraud, excessive number of operations or transactions that may be fraudulent, excessive refund requests and/or chargebacks, or any other act contrary to these Terms and Conditions and/or suspicions of violation of legal provisions for which SG must respond.

SG is not a financial institution. It is expressly stated that SG is not a financial institution and does not provide the User with any banking or exchange service.
