Deposits made by CUENTAS by way of mandate to the Agent must always be deposited to the account specified by the Agent and in no case will a currency other than the Mexican peso shall be accepted. Likewise, as the Agent receives such amounts as a mandate, these amounts will not be considered income or the Agent's consideration for the services rendered.

Start operations with the Platform within thirty (30) calendar days upon the execution of this Agreement. As well as to do not interrupt or discontinue the availability of the Platform with no cause for more than 24 (twenty-four) hours.

If a transaction is collected, accepted and confirmed as paid in real time by the Main Beneficiary but have not been reflected as credited in the account of the specific Payee, CUENTAS has 3 Business Days to receive complaints and/or complaints and notify Master Agent, so that it can resolve the issue in Mexico and, if not done, CUENTAS may contact the Payee, to receive refund instructions or may refund any credit card used by the Payee to process the particular payment. These values will be reconciled as discounts for transfers to Master Agent in weekly reports.
