In priority early payment, aligned with the framework determined by PENGUIN WALLET, payment will be made on the same business day, guaranteeing the transaction with our rate of the day's TRM.
Requests made on Saturday will be subject to the policies of treatment of holidays of the receiving banking entity.
The Ally may cancel the Pay Me Now service free of charge one (1) hour after the processing is filed; after this term and up to three (3) hours, cancellation will incur a cost of five dollars ($5 USD), which will be automatically debited in the next current settlement.

The Ally knows and accepts that some transactions require additional validation before being considered successful. A transaction may be pending authorization for up to five (5) business days by the acquiring processors or the respective entity in charge of the payment system. When a transaction is pending authorization, it cannot be disbursed, and the term for Disbursements will start from the effective date that the Incomes are credited to PINGUINO WALLET.

The use of the Services for illegal or prohibited activities is expressly prohibited. The Services must be used in one's own name or as the legal representative of a legal entity. It is prohibited to use the Services on behalf of a third party, unless there is express authorization from PINGUINO WALLET.
The use of the Services for developing Illicit or Prohibited Activities is completely prohibited.
If PINGUINO WALLET detects that the Ally is using the Services for developing Illicit or Prohibited Activities, it may reject, cancel, and/or immediately suspend the PINGUINO WALLET Account and the use of the Services, without prior notification and no liability incurred. This is without prejudice to the relevant legal actions that PINGUINO WALLET may take against the Ally, or third parties participating in the detected Illicit or Prohibited Activities.
The Ally will indemnify and reimburse PINGUINO WALLET for any sanctions or fines imposed by the Acquiring Entities, government authorities, or PINGUINO WALLET if it is demonstrated that the Ally used the Services to commit Illicit or Prohibited Activities.
Illicit Activities. PINGUINO WALLET considers Illicit Activities to be all those indicated by current law, as well as any activity leading to an illegal object and/or cause.
Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing. PINGUINO WALLET is required to have policies and procedures aimed at mitigating the risk of money laundering and terrorism financing; for this purpose, it has established various policies applied to our customers that allow compliance with regulatory obligations and risk mitigation. By accepting these terms and conditions, the Ally agrees with PINGUINO WALLET to implement measures to prevent his or her operations from being used as a means to hide, manage, invest, or take advantage of any form of money or other assets from illicit activities or to give the appearance of legality to these activities. Likewise, the Ally declares that he or she does not know of investigations, accusations, sanctions, or convictions by competent authorities at the national or foreign level against him or her or third parties acting in his or her representation, or, in the case of legal entities, against its legal representatives, administrators, executives or third parties acting in their representation, associates, or shareholders directly or indirectly with more than 5% participation in the share capital, or their subordinates, nor for the administrators of their subsidiaries in any jurisdiction, for the following events:
The alleged commission of crimes related to money laundering, including source crimes related to corruption, or terrorism financing;
For behaviors that are subject to administrative, disciplinary, tax, or judicial sanction for violations of any anti-corruption rules.
Additionally, he or she declares not to have been included in lists managed by any national or foreign authority for the control of money laundering, terrorism financing, and corruption, in any of its forms. If the information provided by the Ally is false or if during the course of the business relationship, PINGUINO WALLET finds evidence of investigations, accusations, sanctions, or convictions against the Ally or any of the persons mentioned in the previous paragraph, arising from any of the events similarly related, PINGUINO WALLET may consequently cancel the PINGUINO WALLET Account and the use of the Services, unilaterally terminating the existing business relationship without any obligation for PINGUINO WALLET to pay any indemnification.

PINGUINO WALLET reserves the right to cancel, deactivate, or suspend, at any time, at its discretion and without any obligation for any kind of indemnification or responsibility, the PINGUINO WALLET Account and the use of the Services.
Cancellation. The PINGUINO WALLET Account and the use of the Services may be cancelled by:
Voluntary Cancellation: The Ally may request Voluntary Cancellation of his or her PINGUINO WALLET Account and the access or use of the Services. For the Business Service, this request will be processed provided that the Ally does not have pending Disbursements according to the Billing Plan, or the Ally owes PINGUINO WALLET any sum of money for any reason. In any case, if the Ally decides to reuse the Services, he or she must request the reactivation of the PINGUINO WALLET Account by contacting the channels enabled by PINGUINO WALLET.
Definitive Cancellation: PINGUINO WALLET may at any time and for any reason apply the Definitive Cancellation of the PINGUINO WALLET Account and the use of the Services; therefore, the Ally may not recreate a PINGUINO WALLET Account or use the services himself or through someone else.
For purposes of these T&C, Voluntary Cancellation and Definitive Cancellation are understood as a contractual termination followed by the effects described in these T&C.
Deactivation. PINGUINO WALLET may deactivate a PINGUINO WALLET Account and access or use of the Services when for a period equal to or greater than twelve (12) consecutive months since the last registered transaction, the Ally has not used the Services, has no pending Disbursements or chargebacks to process. For the Business Service, the Ally may again access his or her PINGUINO WALLET Account by entering his or her username and password but must request the reactivation of the Services through the channels enabled by PINGUINO WALLET.
Suspension. PINGUINO WALLET may suspend a PINGUINO WALLET Account and/or the use of the Services when any of the following occurs; (i) High levels of fraud according to PINGUINO WALLET's policies; (ii) The Ally has not updated his or her information for a period exceeding 12 months since the last update; (iii) The Ally uses the Services to conduct illegal activities. The Suspension is not a contractual termination; therefore, the Ally remains obliged to comply with the stipulations of these T&C. Suspension of the PINGUINO WALLET Account disables the use of the Access Tools and the Disbursement. When a Suspension is applied, PINGUINO WALLET will initiate an investigation of the Ally. Depending on the results of the investigation, PINGUINO WALLET may lift the suspension or apply a Definitive Cancellation. The investigation will have a maximum term of 120 calendar days.

PAY ME NOW
The Pay Me Now service is a tool designed for the allies of our PINGUINO WALLET Account to advance pending balances to be liquidated by outsourcing service recipients, allowing access to working capital safely and swiftly. This service is not a tool for conducting commercial activities in currency markets, trading, forex, and/or currency markets.
The following terms and conditions are established for the proper processing of this service:
Requests will be accepted from Monday to Saturday, from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The Ally has two options for Pay Me Now: standard advance payment and priority advance payment.
In the standard advance payment, adjusting the receipt of the request to the established timing, PINGUINO WALLET will execute the operation within a maximum period of 1 business day, adjusting to the TRM at the time the transfer is made.
In the priority advance payment, aligning the request with the time frame determined by PINGUINO WALLET, payment will be made on the same business day, ensuring the transaction with our TRM rate of the day.
Operations requested on Saturday will be subject to the treatment policies of holiday days of the receiving banking entity.
The Ally may cancel the Pay Me Now service at no cost one (1) hour after the filing of the request; after this period and up to three (3) hours, the cancellation will have a cost of five dollars ($5 USD), which will be automatically debited from the next current settlement.
Errors in processing, personal information, banking, and/or in the correlation of production and balance advance attributable to the Ally will incur a fine of five dollars ($5 USD) due to operational and transactional wear, which will be automatically debited from the next current settlement, providing the necessary communication and documentation.
PINGUINO WALLET will automatically deduct the amount advanced in Pay Me Now in the next regular and current period settled by the service recipient; if PINGUINO WALLET does not carry out the corresponding deduction in that period, it may execute it automatically in the following cycle.
DIGITAL CURRENCY
Refers to the processing of buying and selling digital currency, an asset that must be used and credited only by the service recipient for payment settlements. The authenticity of this digital currency must be validated by PINGUINO WALLET.
The following terms and conditions are established for the proper processing of this service. Requests will be accepted from Monday to Saturday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Once the Ally executes the order, it cannot be canceled or reversed.
PINGUINO WALLET will have up to three (3) business days following the receipt of the request to execute the payment. During this time, the information, production, and availability of the balance to be processed will be verified.
In the event that the platform and/or the service recipient impose fines, penalties, or other monetary sanctions on the Ally, which were inadvertently applied during the mentioned payment period, the Ally fully authorizes PINGUINO WALLET to automatically debit this amount in the next payment in favor of the Ally, providing the necessary communication and documentation. If this option is not feasible, the Ally authorizes PINGUINO WALLET to initiate collection through executive means, for which this document will serve as executive merit. It expressly waives any requirement for purposes of establishing default, reserving the right to charge additional damages.
Errors in the personal and/or banking information that affect or require transaction reprocessing and that are attributable to the Ally will incur a fine of five dollars ($5 USD). This fine will be automatically deducted from the transfer amount, providing the necessary communication and documentation.
The execution of payments using digital currencies, which are determined to stablecoins, USDC, or USDT, carries significant risks, such as price volatility and lack of government backing. Allies understand and accept that these assets are subject to price fluctuations, which could cause losses when conducting transactions. Likewise, they assume responsibility for the accuracy of information in transactions, as once confirmed, they cannot be reversed. Any error in the transaction details could result in losses. Neither PINGUINO WALLET nor its collaborators are responsible for losses or damages related. Allies release PINGUINO WALLET from liability for unmentioned risks and must analyze their financial situation and risk tolerance before conducting digital currency transactions. PINGUINO WALLET is excluded from any direct or indirect responsibility for losses or damages resulting from this service.
