6. Description and Scope of the Services
6.1 Purchase and Sale of Bitcoin: we offer the possibility of buying or selling Bitcoin, under the terms established by Article 2,248 of the Federal Civil Code and its equivalents in the Civil Codes of the remaining federal entities, in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
6.1.1 Aureo MX participates in purchase and sale operations as agent or attorney-in-fact of Aureo, which means that (i) Aureo MX is not the counterparty of said operations, (ii) Aureo MX is solely providing a payment receipt or disbursement service on behalf of Aureo; and (iii) the Money that Clients send to (or receive from) Aureo MX's accounts is received (or sent) in the name and on behalf of Aureo. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the involvement of Aureo MX could entail the performance of the vulnerable activity referred to in Article 17, section XVI of the Anti-Money Laundering Law, which is why Clients expressly undertake to cooperate with Aureo MX in everything related to the fulfillment of its identification and reporting obligations.
6.1.2 Unless explicitly specified or agreed otherwise, Clients acknowledge that the Bitcoin purchase or sale services may be enabled or processed, at Aureo's sole choice and discretion, through the main Bitcoin network, through the Lightning Network, or through other scalability solutions, sidechains, or technological solutions.
6.1.3 In Bitcoin purchase operations, it is the Clients' responsibility to have (and control) the accounts, wallets, or Wallets necessary for us to fulfill our obligations, since we do not provide them nor do they form part of our services. These accounts, wallets, or Wallets must have sufficient resources or funds to pay the fees or commissions of the networks or platforms on which they operate and must be compatible or interoperable with such networks and platforms. As a Client of the services, you release us from liability for the total or partial loss of Bitcoins or Virtual Assets issued or managed on a given blockchain or network, due to the lack of interoperability between networks; or for the total or partial loss of their value, regardless of the cause that gave rise to the corresponding loss (failure, error, attack, fraud, breach, interruption, outage, fork, consensus control, court order, etc.), provided that such cause is not directly attributable to us.
6.1.4 As long as a purchase or sale is not completed, under the terms established in subsections 6.1.7 and 6.1.8 below, such transaction shall be considered pending and we may reject our commission and its processing unilaterally and at our discretion, as well as return the net resources we have received in our accounts, addresses, or Wallets. Although we will make commercially reasonable efforts to complete a transaction in less than ten minutes, provided that the underlying financial or technological conditions and infrastructures allow it, it may take us up to a maximum period of twenty-four hours to complete a transaction, otherwise it shall be deemed rejected and returned under the terms described above, without any liability on our part.
6.1.5 The purchases, sales, and, in general, the operations you carry out on the Platform shall be final, definitive, and irreversible, which means that we will not carry out (or process) any type of refund or return of Money, Bitcoin, or Virtual Assets for transactions that have been completed.
6.1.6 Operations carried out in your Client account are directly attributable to (and binding upon) you, under the terms established in Clause 8.4. In the event that your account has been used without your authorization or consent, you must immediately send us an email indicating the details of the corresponding transaction, in which you must specify how said transaction violated the controls regarding identification, authentication (official ID, password access, security question, etc.) and, in general, the controls established in our AML Policy.
6.1.7 Completion of a purchase. A purchase of Bitcoin or Virtual Assets shall be deemed completed when (1) the Money corresponding to the payment has been credited or deposited into our accounts, (2) we have sent (or instructed the sending of) the Bitcoin or Virtual Assets to the public address, wallet, or Wallet you have designated for such purpose, and (3) such Bitcoins or Virtual Assets appear credited to (or cryptographically associated with) said address, wallet, or Wallet; or when the corresponding transaction has a minimum of 3 confirmations or validations in any reputable block explorer or monitor, whichever occurs first.
6.1.8 Completion of a sale. A sale of Bitcoin or Virtual Assets shall be deemed completed when (1) such assets appear cryptographically linked to our addresses or Wallets (and the transaction has been confirmed), (2) we have sent the corresponding Money to the bank account, electronic payment funds account, or, in general, any account operated by an authorized member of the Mexican financial system, and (3) the Money appears credited to the corresponding account; or when the corresponding transaction has been validated by Banxico or the relevant payment processor.
6.1.9 In purchase and sale operations, you must ensure that the information of the accounts, wallets, or Wallets is correct, as applicable, since we will not recognize transfers or deposits made based on erroneous, incomplete, or incorrect information. We reaffirm that, as part of our AML Policy, it is mandatory that payments for the purchase of Bitcoin come from a bank account held in your name, and that Bitcoin sends and withdrawals be made from and to Wallets that you own.
6.1.10 Purchases and sales made on the Platform are subject to the fees and commissions established in Clause 9, as well as to the costs, fees, and commissions (fixed or variable) charged by third parties or by the platforms where the transactions are carried out (including gas fees, bank charges, payment processor fees, currency fees, or equivalent concepts).
6.1.11 The fact that we make available the purchase or sale of Bitcoin or any other Virtual Asset on the Platform does not mean that we make any representation or assume any type of responsibility regarding the legality, suitability, or reliability of its issuance, supply, value, collateral, underlying technology, or other similar concepts.
6.2 Information or Content Services: these are those we provide for informational or advertising purposes or to optimize our search engine positioning, such as press articles, news of common interest, articles created by our editorial team or by third parties, presentation of audiovisual content of various kinds, educational content, etc.
The information and materials contained on the Platform do not constitute financial, commercial, legal, investment, or any other type of advice or consultancy. Clients acknowledge that the criteria and assumptions specific to their particular situation must be consulted with specialists external to us and that they should not act on the basis of the information we provide. We are not responsible to Clients for the content of web pages that have links to this page or the content of those to which the links lead.

Visitors may view the content we make available on the Platform, but may not and shall not generate any type of interaction on it. As part of the registration, the Client will be asked to create a password, being solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account and password.
Each Client may maintain only one account linked to their identification document, although they may register more than one wallet or Wallet address on said account to carry out their operations.

In accordance with the foregoing, as a Client of the Platform you authorize and consent to any identification, verification, validation, or authentication action or inquiry that may be necessary as part of our AML Policy or, in general, of our obligations under applicable law, whether such obligations rest with Aureo MX or with Aureo.
We expressly reserve the right to modify, update, or replace our AML Policy at any time and without prior notice, in order to improve our KYC or our level of compliance with applicable regulations.
As a Client of the Platform, you acknowledge and accept the possibility that we may share (on our own initiative, by legal obligation, or at the express request of the authority, where applicable) your data or information (personal or transactional) with the corresponding authorities, including the Tax Administration Service or the Financial Intelligence Unit.
8.3 Account Maintenance. Clients undertake to keep their account up to date, with true, complete, and accurate information, it being understood that such Clients shall be responsible for any damage, harm, or inconvenience generated by the provision of false, misleading, erroneous, incomplete, or inaccurate information, without prejudice to our right to cancel, suspend, limit, or disable the account if the information provided to us has these characteristics.
8.4 Personal Use. Your account is personal, unique, and non-transferable, which means that you may not assign it or authorize third parties to operate or use it in your name and on your behalf. Likewise, you are responsible for any unauthorized use made by a third party, voluntarily or involuntarily, or by any third party who may access your access credentials, for acts carried out by you or attributable to you. You are obligated to inform us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account, as well as of access to it by unauthorized third parties.
Clients shall be solely responsible for the activity and content managed from their account.
8.5 Account Levels: depending on their personal or transactional profile, Clients are subject to the account types and levels we assign them, in accordance with the AML Policy, applicable law, and any other criteria we deem appropriate.
Account types and levels will set transactional, quantitative, and operational limits on your activity, and we may adjust them automatically or at our discretion, to the extent that you provide more information or documentation that supports or justifies your personal or transactional profile. We reserve the right to establish, at our discretion, individualized account limits, restrictions, suspensions, or cancellations for Clients based on their personal transactional profile.
8.6 Grounds for rejection, suspension, and/or disabling of accounts. We reserve the right to deny, cancel, suspend, or disable any account when any of the following events occur:
8.6.1 Clients who do not have the legal capacity or sufficient age to use the Platform, access the Services, or, in general, validly carry out legal transactions on their own behalf.
8.6.2 Clients who are included on any type of blacklist, blocked persons list, commercial or economic sanctions list, or similar list, including those lists issued by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, the Tax Administration Service, the Financial Intelligence Unit, the CNBV, the United Nations Security Council, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the United States Department of the Treasury, or any other similar body or authority.

9. Commissions, Fees, Payments, and Taxes
9.1 Commissions and Taxes. Operations carried out by Clients on the Platform shall be governed by the following:
9.1.1 When you are quoted a price to buy or sell Bitcoin, that quote includes our commissions. Our main source of revenue is through a spread or margin on the exchange rate (the difference between the price at which we obtain liquidity and the price quoted to Clients). Clients acknowledge that the exchange rate presented may be less favorable than the market exchange rate at that time, and that such difference constitutes our remuneration.
9.1.2 Clients are responsible for paying all network fees applicable to Bitcoin withdrawal transactions. These fees are not set by Aureo, but are inherent to the functioning of decentralized networks (for example, mining fees on the Bitcoin network or routing fees on the Lightning Network). When requesting a withdrawal, we will show you an estimate of the applicable network fee, and that amount will be deducted from the total Bitcoin to be withdrawn. By confirming the withdrawal, you agree to pay said fee.
9.1.3 In general, Aureo does not charge an explicit commission in addition to the exchange rate margin for processing Money transfers. However, we reserve the right to introduce in the future a processing fee for receiving or sending Money, which could depend on the transaction amount.
9.1.4 For Bitcoin purchases (MXN to BTC): Because the transaction is executed automatically and immediately upon detecting your transfer, Clients are not presented with a guaranteed prior quote for their approval. Clients accept that the applicable exchange rate will be the one in effect in our system at the exact moment of execution. The complete breakdown of the operation, including the exchange rate applied, the amount in MXN received, and the amount of Bitcoin credited, will be available in your transaction history within the Platform immediately after the operation is completed. By sending the payment, you accept this execution mechanism.
9.1.5 For Bitcoin sales: the Platform will always show you a confirmation screen or a prior breakdown before you authorize the transaction. This breakdown will include relevant information such as the exchange rate (for sales), Aureo's commissions (if applicable), the estimated network fee (for withdrawals), and the final amount you will receive or send. Your confirmation on this screen constitutes your acceptance of all the costs detailed.
9.1.6 You are solely responsible for paying any taxes (such as income tax, capital gains tax, VAT, or other levies) that may arise from your use of the Services. For example, if you make a profit by buying and then selling Bitcoin, it is your responsibility to determine and pay the corresponding taxes in your jurisdiction. Aureo may provide you with transaction histories to assist you, but will not calculate your gains or report on your behalf (except for what it must report to authorities under legal obligations). By using the Service, you accept that you will be responsible for declaring and paying your taxes and that you will indemnify and hold Aureo harmless from any claim or liability related to your tax obligations. If any authority or third party requires Aureo to pay any tax of yours or withhold any tax from amounts payable to you, you accept that we may deduct such amounts from any balance or future transfer in your favor, or that you will reimburse Aureo for such payments.
9.1.7 You acknowledge and accept that, since the Services are provided by Aureo, an entity incorporated outside of Mexico, we are not obligated to issue Digital Tax Receipts via the Internet (CFDI) for the purchase and sale operations of Bitcoin or Digital Assets. Aureo MX, acting as agent, likewise does not issue CFDIs for the value of the assets, but only, where applicable, for direct commissions charged to the Client for services provided directly by the Mexican entity, which would be specified explicitly where applicable.
10. Quality Standards and Warranty of the Services
We will make our best efforts to provide the Services with the quality you expect as a Client, it being understood that our Services carry no warranty and are provided in accordance with these terms and conditions, as well as the other applicable documents.
As a Client of the Platform, you accept that the Services are provided “as is,” which means that there is no express or implied warranty of any kind regarding the provision of the Platform's service.
The only remedy Clients will have in relation to the Services provided by the Platform will be to cancel their account and stop using the Platform.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Aureo shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages; any loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business opportunities, loss of goodwill, loss of data, or damage from business interruption; nor for the cost of obtaining substitute services (arising from or in connection with your access to, use of, or inability to use) our Services, or from any conduct or operation under these terms. This applies even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
In simpler terms, our economic liability toward you is limited. In the event that we are determined to be liable to you for any claim or dispute, our total cumulative liability to you for any claim or dispute shall not, under any circumstances, exceed the amount of $100.00 USD (one hundred United States dollars). You acknowledge that your only remedy in case of dissatisfaction with the service is to stop using it and close your account.
12. Processing of Personal Data
By accepting these terms and conditions, you authorize us to process the personal data you enter into the Platform and any that may be provided or collected in the future, for the purposes and under the terms described in our personal data processing policy, available on the Website at https://www.aureobitcoin.com/en/privacy-policy.
