In this regard, it is the User’s responsibility to gather all useful information in order to carry out the purchase of a product or service, the collections of funds or any other operation required.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Contract, the Issuer’s liability in terms of a User is limited to reparations for direct damages as established by regulation.
