3. USING YOUR AVAILABLE BALANCE AND YOUR ACCOUNT’S FUNCTIONALITIES AND FEATURES

Your Account holds electronically stored monetary value issued by us on receipt of funds in either Fresh USD or Fresh LBP. You can use the Available Balance for various purposes, and can initiate transactions (each a “transaction”), subject to having sufficient funds, the eligibility of the recipient to receive funds, and the applicable fees, restrictions, and limits as set forth in the App. You acknowledge that you are responsible for all transactions carried out through your Account and give us permission to process your transaction instructions and receive funds on your behalf. Below you can find some examples that illustrate some of these transactions.

3.1 Adding funds to your Account/Account top-up and receiving money into your Account

(a) Upon activation of your Account, you can add funds to your Account or receive funds into your Account by any of the following methods:

1. Receiving your salary into your Account;
2. receiving transfers from other SUYOOL users, whether individuals or corporates, within our network of electronic wallets;
3. depositing cash into your Account either by visiting any Agent within our network of Agents or by other means as described in the App, while following the provided prompts and instructions through the App;
4. using a registered debit or credit card.

(b) The Available Balance displayed in your Account will serve as conclusive evidence of your remaining balance. You hereby acknowledge and agree that your Available Balance is not subject to receiving any interest or any other earnings whatsoever.

3.2 Using your Available Balance and making transfers and payments

(a) Banknote Withdrawals
You can withdraw money from your Account by following the instructions provided on the App and then by visiting any Agent within our network of Agents, or by other means as provided in the App, or by making an ATM withdrawal using your SUYOOL Card.

(b) Transfers
- You can send and receive money to and from other SUYOOL accounts and these transfers are processed instantly. To transfer money to another SUYOOL account, you need to input the relevant recipient information and follow the provided prompts. Any newly added recipient will remain pending until validated by us.
- You can also send money to any bank account abroad falling within our coverage by selecting the bank transfer option in the Account tab and providing the required information, such as the account number and IBAN. If money transferred by you to another account is not paid into that account and is returned to us, and if we had to perform a currency exchange during the original transfer, we will convert the returned amount back to the original currency. We are not responsible for any losses incurred by you in this process.

(c) Payments You will be able to make payments at Merchants.

(d) Utilities & Services You will be able to pay utilities and services as available in the App.

3.3 Using your SUYOOL Card

You can request, activate, manage, and cancel your SUYOOL Card linked to your Account at any time. The issuance, usage, and security aspects of the SUYOOL Cards are governed by our card issuer terms, the terms and conditions of CSCBank SAL, and the relevant card association's rules and regulations (collectively referred to as the “Card Terms”). By requesting a SUYOOL Card, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the Card Terms.

3.4 Currency Exchange

(a) You can instruct us to initiate a currency exchange of the Available Balance or any portion thereof from one currency to another. The available currencies for such exchanges are Fresh LBP and Fresh USD

(b) The exchange rate is set by our partnered exchange house and is based on the real market rate adopted at the time of the conversion. You can always see the real-time exchange rate in the App, and the transaction history of your Account will indicate the exchange rate adopted to execute a transaction.

(c) You assume all risks associated with currency conversion and agree that we are not responsible for any losses, including exchange rate fluctuations, fees, or other related charges incurred during the currency conversion process. It is recommended that you carefully consider the prevailing exchange rates and any associated costs before initiating any currency exchange or making payments in foreign currencies

(d) While we recommend that payments to and from your Account are made in the preferred currency of your Account, you can activate the auto-exchange feature on your Account. This feature will automatically convert the required amount from the other currency in your Account to cover a purchase when your preferred currency balance is insufficient. This conversion will take place at the checkout of the Merchant at the prevailing market rate, including any applicable fees, at the time of such payment is executed. This means that your Account might be credited with more or less than you expected, and we won't be responsible for any losses if this happens.

3.5 Limits and Fees

(a) We may impose limitations and fees for each transaction, including on the receipt, payment, and withdrawal of funds into or from your Account, as well as the withdrawal or spending limits and fees for using your SUYOOL Card, at our reasonable discretion. We may also limit the value of currency exchange that you can perform within a given time period. You can see our limits and fees in the App and we can change these fees and limits at any time. You will be notified of such changes through our Platform and we will assume you are happy with the change unless you tell us you want to close your Account before the change takes effect. By accepting these Terms, you authorize us to debit your Account for any applicable fees.

(b) You acknowledge that certain third parties, such as banks, may impose fees on inbound or outbound transactions. We hold no responsibility or liability for such fees, as they are determined and imposed solely by the respective third parties.

3.6 Transaction Handling

(a) Your transaction may be declined if you do not have sufficient funds in your Account to cover the transaction amount and the applicable fees. You cannot cancel or revoke a payment or transaction instruction that has already been received by us, nor can you withdraw your consent to execute a transaction.

(b) Before you send money to someone or make a transfer, double-check that you have the correct recipient details. If you send money to the wrong person because of a mistake in the information, we cannot take responsibility for it. We'll try to help you get your money back with no guarantee of success.

(c) Transactions between SUYOOL accounts are credited instantly. The processing time for other transactions will vary and will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Please note that we will not be responsible for the funds until they are received by us.

(d) We reserve the right to reverse a transaction if the payer, the payer's bank, or the payment service provider initiates a reversal or if there is a reasonable likelihood of such a reversal being initiated in relation to your Account. In the event of a reversal, we retain the right to deduct the reversed transaction amount from your Account balance. If your Account balance is insufficient to cover the reversal, we may request repayment from you.

(e) When carrying out a transaction through any of our Agents, you may be required to provide proof of a valid identification document to the Agent or any other information to verify your identification to match your Account.
