12. Custody
12.1 CUSTODY service principles

12.1.1 Accessibility

The CUSTODY is offered to all CUSTOMERS with a CRYPTO ACCOUNT validated in accordance with the provisions of Article 8, and not subject to suspension or closure.

It is however recommended to the CUSTOMER to organize the transfer of his DIGITAL ASSETS from the PLATFORM to an alternative method of custody under the control of the CUSTOMER as soon as possible after the completion of any TRANSACTION giving rise to the CUSTODY of DIGITAL ASSETS on the PLATFORM on behalf of the CUSTOMER.

The Balance of the CRYPTO ACCOUNT is accessible (i) on the SITE (except in the event of a technical incident, in particular one related to a power cut, interruption of connections, malfunction or overload of networks or systems) and (ii) by the CUSTOMER only.

By accepting that PAYMIUM stores his DIGITAL ASSETS on his behalf during the duration of the CUSTODY, the CUSTOMER expressly authorizes PAYMIUM to dispose of them in order to manage the TRANSACTIONS ordered by the CUSTOMER.


12.1.2 Duration

The CUSTODY duration corresponds to the period from the date of deposit of DIGITAL ASSETS on the CRYPTO ACCOUNT of this CUSTOMER (following a TRANSACTION carried out via the SERVICE) until the date on which the Balance of the CRYPTO ACCOUNT is equal to zero.

12.1.3 Fees

PAYMIUM reserves the right to apply a dormancy fee to ACCOUNTS that remain inactive for a period of time, as specified in the PRICE LIST.

12.1.4 Forks

In the event of a FORK on a crypto asset, PAYMIUM may at its own discretion decide to add the new coin on the platform. In case PAYMIUM decides to add the coin, PAYMIUM will not commit to a timeframe for implementation.

12.2 Obligations of Parties

12.2.1 Obligations of PAYMIUM concerning CUSTODY

PAYMIUM shall ensure that the CUSTOMER's DIGITAL ASSETS are separated in the blockchain from its own DIGITAL ASSETS , and shall provide assistance to enable the CUSTOMER to exercise the rights attached to the DIGITAL ASSETS that are the subject of CUSTODY by PAYMIUM.

PAYMIUM shall not make use of the CUSTOMER's DIGITAL ASSETS and the rights attached thereto without the CUSTOMER's express agreement, except for their handling in the context of the CUSTODY.

PAYMIUM will maintain the position of each of its CUSTOMERS in secure databases. A position statement of the DIGITAL ASSETS booked in their name in CUSTODY can be downloaded by the CUSTOMER.

PAYMIUM shall implement the means at its disposal to ensure the security of the DIGITAL ASSETS stored on the PLATFORM.

However, PAYMIUM shall not be liable for the consequences for CUSTODY of (i) a case of force majeure, (ii) an error, negligence or malicious act on the part of the CUSTOMER, (iii) the CUSTOMER's failure to comply with the TOS, (iv) an attack on the security of the CUSTOMER's system or environment of any nature whatsoever, (v) a computer attack, computer hacking, a logical attack or a virus affecting the CUSTOMER's computer, messaging system, telephone or computer resources.

PAYMIUM shall ensure that the necessary means are put in place to return the DIGITAL ASSETS under the conditions provided for in article 12.3.

12.2.2 Obligations of the CUSTOMER for CUSTODY

In addition to the obligations set forth in Articles 5, 8 and 22 of the TOS, the CUSTOMER undertakes to provide PAYMIUM with accurate and precise information, so that PAYMIUM is able to return the DIGITAL ASSETS under the conditions and within the timeframes set forth in Article 12.3 of the TOS.

PAYMIUM shall not be held liable for the consequences of the CUSTOMER's incorrect communication of this information, and in particular the communication of an incorrect address.

In the event of CUSTODY on behalf of a CUSTOMER whose CUSTOMER ACCOUNT is inactive, the CUSTOMER undertakes to pay the CUSTODY fees provided for in Article 12.1.4.

12.3 Return of DIGITAL ASSETS in CUSTODY

The CUSTOMER may at any time request PAYMIUM to return all or part of the DIGITAL ASSETS held on his account on the PLATFORM.

The return shall be made by means of a TRANSACTION of the CLIENT's choice.

PAYMIUM undertakes to return to the CUSTOMER who so requests his DIGITAL ASSETS in CUSTODY as soon as possible, except in the event of an event not attributable, directly or indirectly, to PAYMIUM, and in particular when:
- the CUSTOMER ACCOUNT has been suspended or closed;
- PAYMIUM suspects that the CUSTOMER is not the source of the request for restitution;
- a competent authority objects to such restitution;
- PAYMIUM's compliance department is opposed for motives of the anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing (within the meaning of the regulations in force in France and in the European Union);
- PAYMIUM suffers or has suffered a cyber attack, is the object of an attack or attempted logical attack, a virus, a physical attack on its premises or undermining the integrity of its personnel in the performance of their duties, and more generally when one of the cases of exclusion of liability occurs;
- the SITE and more generally PAYMIUM's computer systems are undergoing maintenance;
- the CUSTOMER is deceased or can no longer be reached.

In the event that PAYMIUM is unable to return the DIGITAL ASSETS under CUSTODY on behalf of the CUSTOMER, PAYMIUM undertakes to compensate the CUSTOMER for the equivalent value in euros of the DIGITAL ASSETS in question on the day of the request for their return (at the time of closure of the operations decided by PAYMIUM).

In the event of termination of the contract, PAYMIUM undertakes to return to the CLIENT its DIGITAL ASSETS under CUSTODY, under the conditions provided for in Article 20.
13. Specific conditions for BANK CARD TRANSACTIONS
13.1 Purpose
The PLATFORM offers the CUSTOMER :

- to purchase DIGITAL ASSETS by BANK CARD. To this end, it delegates the payment and supply of crypto-assets to the BANK CARD PARTNER. The DIGITAL ASSETS sold are provided by the BANK CARD PARTNER, transferred to PAYMIUM in order to be credited to the CUSTOMER’s ACCOUNT; and
- to fund his EURO ACCOUNT by BANK CARD.

By making TRANSACTIONS by BANK CARD, the CUSTOMER acknowledges having read and accepted the terms of use of the BANK CARD PARTNER, which can be consulted here: Terms of use, Privacy Policy, WorldPay Agreement.

13.2 Price of the DIGITAL ASSETS

The prices displayed are inclusive of all taxes. 

As DIGITAL ASSETS are very volatile, the prices displayed on the PLATFORM may change between the CUSTOMER’s order and the validation of the TRANSACTION. 

CUSTOMERS acknowledge and accept that the final price of the DIGITAL ASSETS is that which will be displayed at the time of validation of the TRANSACTION. The CUSTOMER accepts a possible maximum variation of 2% between the displayed price and the final price. If the CUSTOMER does not accept the final price, he/she should not validate the TRANSACTION. 

The number of DIGITAL ASSETS delivered is calculated at a market price on the basis of the price paid in Euros. PAYMIUM reserves the right to suspend or stop the sale of DIGITAL ASSETS by BANK CARD

13.3 Delivery of DIGITAL ASSETS

PAYMIUM shall use all reasonable technical means to ensure the correct delivery of purchases by BANK CARD. The CUSTOMER acknowledges, however, that PAYMIUM cannot be held responsible for delivery delays, whether they are attributable to the BANK CARD PARTNER, the blockchain or any other reason

13.4 Limits

PAYMIUM reserves the right to place weekly and monthly limits on the purchase of DIGITAL ASSETS by BANK CARD.

The use of a VPN by the CUSTOMER may block BANK CARD TRANSACTIONS on the PLATFORM due to the restrictions of the BANK CARD PARTNER and PAYMIUM. Neither PAYMIUM nor the BANK CARD PARTNER may be held liable for the failure of a TRANSACTION due to the use of a VPN by the CUSTOMER. Furthermore, this refusal shall not be subject to any compensation whatsoever for the benefit of the CUSTOMER

13.5 Prevention of BANK CARD fraud

The BANK CARD PARTNER is responsible for the correct execution of BANK CARD TRANSACTIONS carried out by the CUSTOMER. In the event of (i) an unauthorized or incorrectly executed payment transaction or (ii) the loss, theft or misappropriation of his BANK CARD, the CUSTOMER is required to declare this to the BANK CARD PARTNER as soon as possible. PAYMIUM shall not be held responsible for such operations.

 The BANK CARD PARTNER may carry out additional identity and documentary checks. The verification of the validity of the payment is delegated to the BANK CARD PARTNER. In addition, PAYMIUM reserves the right to suspend the sale of DIGITAL ASSETS to a CUSTOMER as well as to suspend the delivery of orders, or even the issue of DIGITAL ASSETS on suspicion of fraud. To remove the presumption of fraud, documents and a bank contact may be requested and verified by PAYMIUM

13.6 Exchange, Return and Refund

According to the law, the right of retraction does not apply to digital content provided on an intangible medium whose execution has begun with the agreement of the CLIENT and for which the CLIENT has waived his/her right to retract. A DIGITAL ASSETS or fraction/multiple of DIGITAL ASSETS consists of a string of messages bearing digital signatures and therefore constitutes a digital content. The CUSTOMER waives his/her right to retract by ordering DIGITAL ASSETS on the PLATFORM.

13.7 Securing Transactions

PAYMIUM delegates the security of banking transactions to the BANK CARD PARTNER. The information relating to a BANK CARD is transmitted by the CUSTOMER directly to the BANK CARD PARTNER via an API integrated into the PLATFORM

13.8 Accuracy of information provided

The information provided must be accurate. In particular, in the case of a BANK CARD purchase, the name of the cardholder on the card must correspond to the name of the bank account holder.

In particular, CUSTOMERS who are legal entities are required to use a BANK CARD in the name of the said legal entity. The natural person representatives of legal entity CUSTOMERS may not use BANK CARDS in the name of the legal entity.

Failing this, PAYMIUM reserves the right to suspend access to the account until the information provided by the CUSTOMER has been verified
14. MYWALLET Service
14.1 Description

The MyWallet service accessible on the PLATFORM allows CUSTOMERS to create their own UNHOSTED WALLET. 

The backup data of the UNHOSTED WALLET is chosen and kept exclusively by the CUSTOMER. This backup data, forming the private key, is in the form of a word list and allows full access to the CUSTOMER’s UNHOSTED WALLET.

This security allows the CUSTOMER to restore the UNHOSTED WALLET in the event of loss, theft or destruction of the UNHOSTED WALLET’s medium (telephone, computer or other).

14.2 Special risks

CUSTOMERS should be aware of the technical risks associated with UNHOSTED WALLET (non-custodial wallet), which include, but are not limited to, risks arising from an error or security flaw associated with the Blockchain, which may result in a loss of data or loss of access to their DIGITAL ASSETS.

This technological risk may result from an error or security flaw associated with the Blockchain, enabling and/or resulting in the hacking and theft of data from the UNHOST WALLET.

These risks also include damage resulting from loss or theft of the private key securing access to the UNHOSTED WALLET, which may result in permanent loss of access or unauthorised access to the CUSTOMER's DIGITAL ASSETS.

14.3 Obligations and responsibilities of the Parties

14.3.1 Obligations of the CUSTOMER regarding the UNHOSTED WALLET

The CUSTOMER is solely responsible for accessing and using the UNHOSTED WALLET and must make strictly personal and confidential use of its private key. 

The storage in any form of the private key and its security is the sole responsibility of the CUSTOMER. 

The CUSTOMER shall not disclose his private key and shall take all necessary measures to secure access to his UNHOSTED WALLET.

14.3.2 No liability on the part of PAYMIUM for the UNHOSTED WALLET

CUSTOMERS expressly acknowledge that the MyWallet service is limited to the provision of an infrastructure enabling the creation of a UNHOSTED WALLET by the CUSTOMER. 

This service does not involve CONSERVATION by PAYMIUM. Thus, PAYMIUM does not manage the means of access to the CUSTOMER's UNHOSTED WALLET and will not be able to retrieve the details of the private key chosen by the CUSTOMER, nor to provide a replacement for this private key. 

Therefore, the CUSTOMER acknowledges and agrees that he/she is solely responsible for the security of his/her UNHOSTED WALLET, data and funds.

PAYMIUM cannot be held responsible for any errors in the storage of the private key of a CUSTOMER's UNHOSTED WALLET, its loss or theft. Furthermore, PAYMIUM shall not be liable for any damage resulting from such a storage error, loss or theft of the private key.
15. Transfer of DIGITAL ASSETS
PAYMIUM implements all reasonable technical means to ensure the proper execution of transfers of DIGITAL ASSETS. The CUSTOMER acknowledges, however, that PAYMIUM is not responsible for problems related to the Internet or to the blockchain on relevant DIGITAL ASSETS . In particular, PAYMIUM can not be held responsible for the occurrence of a fork on a DIGITAL ASSETS blockchain that could invalidate certain past transactions.

Transfer of DIGITAL ASSETS to an external address that does not belong to the SERVICE and to the PLATFORM shall not be processed in real time but shall be processed several times a day, included week-ends and holidays, with an interval of a few hours. This allows PAYMIUM to proceed to security verifications, to manage the cold storage of the private keys if necessary. PAYMIUM will not be held responsible for any delay in the execution of a transfer during additional or technical verifications.
16. Fees
Fees may apply to transactions made via the SERVICES. The CUSTOMER is deemed to have reviewed the PRICE LIST for each SERVICE before making a transaction. Changes to the PRICE LIST shall be published at least two weeks before they take effect.

Unless the user cancels the TOS within the specified period, the new rates shall be deemed to have been accepted by the user at the end of the two-week period.
17. Limits
The CUSTOMER agrees that PAYMIUM may, without prior notice and at its discretion, place daily or monthly limits on transactions via the SERVICES. These limits are necessary to limit the consequences of fraud or identifiers becoming compromised. These limits may be changed on request after sending additional identification documents.
18. Refusal to execute a trade order
The execution of an order is subject to the actual receipt of the funds by the BANKING PARTNER, from the CUSTOMER's bank account.

The CUSTOMER's bank may refuse to execute a payment order for various reasons, including the lack of provision, or any other legitimate reason. Neither PAYMIUM nor the BANKING PARTNER can be held responsible for non-execution of payment due to the refusal to pay by the CUSTOMER's bank.

PAYMIUM or the BANKING PARTNER may also refuse to execute a payment order for any other legitimate reason or condition the execution of a payment order to the receipt of documents (identity and proof of address, bank or canceled check).

PAYMIUM can - but is not required to - refuse to execute payment orders in particular when:

- PAYMIUM has not received the necessary funds from the customer's bank or the BANKING PARTNER;
- The limits of use of the Platform are reached or when the maximum number of payment orders that can be made has been reached;
- The payment order contains a factual error, especially when incorrect, inaccurate or incomplete information prevented PAYMIUM from identifying the Beneficiary;
- The CUSTOMER has violated any of his/her obligations under these TOS or other agreements entered into by the customer as part of the platform or if the customer does not comply with PAYMIUM's instructions;
- The CUSTOMER is neither an individual of legal age nor a legal entity;
- The payment order was not initiated by the CUSTOMER;
- The CUSTOMER is not identified and/or attempted to create a new account using the same contact information (e.g. the same e -mail address) and/or the same bank account information and/or the same payment account information;
- A legal or contractual provision requires or permits PAYMIUM not to execute payment transactions and/or to stop the Platform operations.

Refusal to execute a payment order by PAYMIUM can be notified to the customer at the end of the implementation of automated processes and of the specific investigations conducted by trained and qualified staff of PAYMIUM. Unless otherwise provided by law, refusal to execute a payment order is notified by PAYMIUM to the customer within one business day following the refusal of execution via a message on the CUSTOMER account page and via e -mail. Unless otherwise provided, the notification contains the reasons for the refusal and, if the refusal is based on a clerical error, it contains the procedure to correct this error.

When the refusal to execute a payment order occurs due to the fact that the limits of payment transactions and/or maximum amount of payment transactions has been reached, the notification of refusal to the customer shall be displayed in an ad hoc message on the screen of the CUSTOMER computer or the screen of any other technical means used by the Originating CUSTOMER to validate the payment order. In this case, PAYMIUM will not be required to give any further notification of refusal to the CUSTOMER.

It is important to note that a refused payment order is deemed not received. The customer accepts that, under these assumptions, the charges of taking orders referred to in the PRICE LIST charged by PAYMIUM remain with PAYMIUM.
19. Responsabilities
PAYMIUM can not be held responsible for technical malfunctions of devices independent of his control. External links that may be provided via the SERVICE are for information only. PAYMIUM accepts no responsibility, directly or indirectly, on the products and services which these external links refer to.

In case of fraud, PAYMIUM shall keep at the disposal of the competent authorities all information in its possession. The CUSTOMER agrees that his/her ACCOUNT can be suspended at the request of a competent judicial authority.

The CUSTOMER agrees to comply with the regulations applicable to the operations he/she requests, or he/she performs and recognizes meet legal and regulatory obligations incumbent upon him in relation to his/her ACCOUNT; particularly with regard to nationality and/or to the applicable regulations in the country or to taxation, customs and financial regulations with foreign countries. Neither PAYMIUM nor the BANKING PARTNER can be held responsible for any infringement by the CUSTOMER in this regard.

The CUSTOMER agrees to update all of his/her required PAYMIUM account information about him/her.

(a) Responsibility of PAYMIUM concerning unauthorized payment operations (in case of dispute in a timely manner)

If a payment transaction can not be considered by PAYMIUM as having been authorized by the CUSTOMER, except in cases where the CUSTOMER remains responsible for any loss, PAYMIUM shall refund to the CUSTOMER the amount of the payment transaction in question.

However, the CUSTOMER remains responsible for losses related to unauthorized payment transaction in the following circumstances and conditions:

- until the notification to PAYMIUM of the loss or theft of one or more Identification elements or misuse or unauthorized use of one or more Identification elements which has been made possible by the CUSTOMER not being able to maintain the security of one or more Identification elements of the CUSTOMER: the CUSTOMER remains responsible for the unauthorized payment operations occurred up to a maximum of EUR 150, all operations combined;
- notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the CUSTOMER remains responsible for all losses incurred before the said notification to PAYMIUM, if he/she, intentionally or due to gross negligence:
           • has not fulfilled his/her obligation to us the SERVICE in accordance with the provisions of these TOS and/or any other instructions provided or             made available by PAYMIUM, and/or
          • was late in notifying to PAYMIUM the loss or theft of one or more elements of identification or misuse or the unauthorized use of one or more             elements of identification;
- in any event, the customer bears all losses related to unauthorized payment transaction in the event of fraudulent actions of his own, regardless of any notice to PAYMIUM.

(b) Responsibility of PAYMIUM concerning payment transactions authorized, not executed or poorly executed (in case of dispute in a timely manner)

In the case of a payment transaction not executed or poorly executed, and irrespective of the question of responsibility of PAYMIUM in this non -performance or improper performance PAYMIUM endeavor, at the express request of the customer, without incurring any liability therefore, to trace the payment transaction and notify the results of its research to the CUSTOMER via his/her account page.

The CUSTOMER has initiated the transaction:

When PAYMIUM is responsible for non-execution or poor execution of a payment transaction, it returns, if applicable, the amount immediately to the CUSTOMER who has initiated the transaction. PAYMIUM may also take, as far as possible, measures to remedy the poor execution of a payment order, if the payment order contains all the information to address this poor performance, especially in cases where PAYMIUM have transferred an amount different from the order of payment. Partial execution of a payment order can not give right to restitution in the amount of the payment transaction in respect of the preceding paragraphs, but, if necessary, to transfer an additional amount.

A late execution of a payment order does not give the right to restitution of the amount of the payment transaction in respect of the preceding paragraphs.

PAYMIUM can under no circumstances be held responsible for non-execution if the funds have not been received from the bank of the CUSTOMER who has initiated the transaction. PAYMIUM may as well under no circumstances be held responsible for late, partial or otherwise poor execution of orders, if defective performance is attributable to the bank of the CUSTOMER who initiated the transaction, especially when the necessary funds required to carry out the payment transaction are received late or only in part from the bank of the CUSTOMER who initiated the transaction.

Moreover, PAYMIUM shall in no case be held responsible for the improper performance of a payment order if it can establish that the amount in the payment order was received by the payment service provider of the Beneficiary in a timely manner.

Insofar as the identifiers designating the Beneficiary (e -mail address or phone number...) provided by the CUSTOMER who initiated the transaction would be inaccurate, PAYMIUM can in no way be held responsible for the consequences resulting from failure to perform or improper performance of a payment order as PAYMIUM executed the payment order pursuant to the identifiers designating the Beneficiary provided by the CUSTOMER who initiated the transaction.

Similarly, the CUSTOMER who has initiated the transaction agrees that to the extent that elements of his identification would be inaccurate, PAYMIUM can in no way be held responsible for the consequences resulting from non-performance or improper performance of a payment order while PAYMIUM executed the payment order pursuant to the identification elements provided by the CUSTOMER.

The CUSTOMER is Beneficiary:

PAYMIUM can be held responsible for the poor performance or non-performance of a payment order of which the CUSTOMER is beneficiary only if the beneficiary can prove that PAYMIUM received within the prescribed period, the amount stated in the payment order and the Means of payment selected by the Beneficiary or, in the absence of a selection, the Main Reception Means of the Beneficiary were not credited with the amount stated in the payment order unless PAYMIUM can prove that the amount of the order was received by the bank that issued the card of the beneficiary or by the bank of the beneficiary.

In case PAYMIUM would be held responsible, it will credit as soon as possible the Payment Methods selected by the Beneficiary or, in the absence of selection, the Main Reception Means of the Beneficiary, the amount of the payment transaction.

The Recipient CUSTOMER acknowledges that a payment order executed by PAYMIUM in accordance with his/her identification elements (including details of payment cards or bank accounts provided by the CUSTOMER of PAYMIUM) is deemed to have been properly executed, notwithstanding any additional information regarding the Beneficiary that may be provided to PAYMIUM. Insofar as identification elements (including details of payment cards or bank accounts provided by the Beneficiary CUSTOMER of PAYMIUM) are inaccurate, PAYMIUM can in no way be held responsible for the consequences resulting from failure or improper execution of a payment order when it executed the payment order pursuant to the identification elements provided by the beneficiary CUSTOMER.

PAYMIUM and the Beneficiary CUSTOMER agree that where a payment transaction initiated by a CUSTOMER gives rise to a refund from PAYMIUM, PAYMIUM is authorized to irrevocably debit the amount of the refund from the Payment Means (bank account or payment card account) of the Beneficiary CUSTOMER, regardless of the merit or absence of merits of the claim filed by the CUSTOMER who initiated the transaction.

Payment incident:

Upon the occurrence of a payment incident in connection with a payment transaction, PAYMIUM shall contact the CUSTOMER by any means to notify him/her of the occurrence of the incident regarding said payment and to send him/her a request for regularization of the payment incident.

Upon receipt of the request for regularization, the CUSTOMER agrees to settle the payment within 30 days of the payment incident directly to PAYMIUM. The occurrence of a payment incident automatically entails the suspension of service until the final settlement of the payment incident.

The occurrence of a payment incident in connection with a payment transaction between individuals or with a payment transaction made to a business entails the entry of the associated CUSTOMER contact details in the "Incidents and balance due" file kept by PAYMIUM.

As part of the registration of their details in " Incidents and balance due" file, the CUSTOMER has at any time a right of access, rectification and opposition that he/she can exercise at any time.

In the event of a payment incident in connection with a transaction executed by PAYMIUM, the CUSTOMER shall be liable for a penalty in the amount of 30 €, per the PRICE LIST page of the SERVICE. The amounts displayed in the price list page may be updated without notice.

The penalty due is payable by the CUSTOMER as part of the settlement of the payment incident.

Except in cases of loss, theft or embezzlement, or other legitimate reason, the CUSTOMER agrees not to oppose its payment transactions by CREDIT CARD at the banking institution that issued the card used to make such operations. In this context, legitimate reasons do not include errors in the entry of the order, a desire to cancel an order after the end of the period of irrevocability defined in these TOS, etc...

In any event, the CUSTOMER agrees to notify PAYMIUM within its ACCOUNT page of the possible blacklisiting of the CREDIT CARD used for the settlement of his/her transaction through the SERVICE or to contact PAYMIUM CUSTOMER service. The BANKING PARTNER can not be held responsible if the bank account details specified in the CUSTOMER ACCOUNT for withdrawal requests are incorrect or not updated.

It is the responsibility of the CUSTOMER to verify and update their banking information through his/her ACCOUNT page.

For the provision of all its services theBANKING PARTNER is subject to an obligation of means and not of result.

The BANKING PARTNER shall in no event be liable for any damages to the CUSTOMER resulting from partial or complete non-compliance with these TOS by said CUSTOMER.

In any case, the BANKING PARTNER is not responsible for any direct and/or indirect, such as commercial loss, loss of goodwill, any disturbance to business, loss of profits, loss of brand image suffered by a CUSTOMER, or a third party, which may result from the BANKING PARTNER service provision or the implementation of the PLATFORM, or its unavailability. Any action against a CUSTOMER by third parties is considered as an indirect loss, and therefore shall not be compensated.
