2. Acceptance of subscription requests
- All subscription requests are subject to review and assessment according to Credit's adopted compliance and risk management standards.

- Credit reserves the right to accept or reject any payment transaction, which may be rejected or delayed for reasons related to the bank, service provider, related systems, or other factors outside the company's control.
- Credit disclaims liability for any rejection, failure, or delay in any payment transaction caused by factors outside its will or outside the control of its partners and service providers.
6. Settlements
- Merchant settlements are processed after funds are actually received from service providers and after financial and operational reconciliation is complete.
- Settlements are governed by the work cycles adopted by Credit, the banks, and the service providers.
- Credit may deduct fees, commissions, expenses, refunds, disputes, and any other financial claims before settling amounts owed to the merchant.
7. Refunds and disputes

8. Holds and risk management
- Credit may apply a precautionary hold on merchant receivables at any time, based on operational, financial, legal, or regulatory risk.
- Credit may withhold up to 10% of transaction value, or any other percentage it deems appropriate based on its risk assessment.
- Withheld amounts may be retained for up to 45 days, or for the period required to resolve any open disputes, objections, or claims.

- The merchant authorizes Credit to collect, process, store, and share the data needed to deliver the services, comply with regulatory requirements, and process transactions, disputes, and settlements.
10. Suspension and termination
- Credit may suspend, restrict, pause, or terminate the services temporarily or permanently at any time if a violation of these terms is identified, or if there are operational, financial, legal, or regulatory risks.
- Credit may take any of the above actions if inaccurate data is provided, if fraud indicators appear, if dispute or refund rates rise, or at the request of a regulator or service provider.
- Suspension or termination does not affect Credit's right to settle any related amounts or to process disputes, refunds, or obligations relating to prior transactions.
11. Compliance and AML

13. Closing provisions
- Electronic records, reports, and entries generated by Credit's systems or by service providers are deemed authoritative evidence of transactions, unless proven otherwise.
- Credit may amend these Terms, Conditions, and Policies, fees, or operating procedures at any time, and the merchant's continued use of the services after being notified of the changes constitutes acceptance of them.
- All notices and correspondence sent to the merchant's registered email, phone number, or other adopted contact channel are valid and produce their legal effects.
