    The use of the PLATFORM does not grant the USER any ownership of the PLATFORM or its content, nor does it grant any license for the exploitation of these rights. The USER acknowledges that under no circumstances does downloading material with copyright related to the Services confer any property rights.

    Distinctive signs, including trademarks and trade names, as well as other content displayed in the Services, will at all times be the property of PAYNAU, whether or not they are registered, and cannot be used by the USER without the express written consent of PAYNAU.

    To access the USER Account, PAYNAU will provide and validate an access password, which will be considered an identifying and enabling element for accessing the PLATFORM services. The password will be personal and non-transferable; therefore, the USER is obligated to maintain the confidentiality of their access password, assuming any consequences that may arise from its use by third parties other than the USER, and must hold PAYNAU harmless from any unauthorized use of the password. The USER will be responsible for all operations performed with their password. It is prohibited for a single USER to have more than one Account.

PAYNAU will use the most recent USER data provided on the PLATFORM for any notifications, so in the event of failure to provide such notification, the USER releases PAYNAU from any liability related to the provision of Services.

    In the event of loss, theft, or breach of authentication factors, access codes, and/or passwords, the USER must immediately notify PAYNAU through the PLATFORM, understanding that under no circumstances will PAYNAU be responsible for charges or operations and/or authorizations made prior to the theft or loss report, even if conducted by a third party.
