01General provisions
1.1. This Policy sets out the approach of Platio Payment Technologies LLC (hereinafter, the Company) to the prevention of money laundering, terrorist financing and the financing of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in the operation of the market.platio.by marketplace (hereinafter, the Platform).
1.2. The Policy is intended for public posting on the Platform and for review by sellers, buyers and other users. It describes the general principles of client due diligence, control of goods and transactions, and interaction with users.
1.3. The Policy applies together with the agreements, the terms of use of the Platform, the payment and refund rules and the personal data processing policy. It is not a standalone offer to sell goods or provide payment services and does not replace the respective agreements.
1.4. The scope of checks depends on the nature of the relationship, the goods, the transaction and the risk level. The Company acts within the applicable legislation of the Republic of Belarus, its role in settlements and the requirements of the servicing banks and payment systems applicable to the respective transaction.
02Identification and verification of clients
2.1. Before a seller is connected to payment acceptance, the Company verifies their identity or registration details, the authority of the representative, the ownership and effective control structure, the nature of the business and the payout details. Connection takes place after the necessary checks and approvals are completed.
2.2. For a legal entity, registration and tax details, a register extract, the address and information about the head, representatives and ultimate beneficial owners may be requested. For individual entrepreneurs and natural persons — details of identity, identity document, address and registration or tax status where they are necessary for verification.
2.3. The Company may request documents on authority, ownership structure, bank account, source of funds, purpose of the transaction, origin of the goods and the right to distribute them. For foreign documents, a translation and proper certification are requested where necessary.
2.4. Buyers are verified to the extent necessary for the respective service or transaction. Additional information may be required if the mandatory data is insufficient or the circumstances of the transaction call for clarification.
2.5. Users provide accurate and up-to-date information and report material changes to it. If a mandatory check cannot be completed, connection or execution of the respective transaction may be declined on an applicable legal or contractual basis.
03Risk assessment
3.1. The risk assessment takes into account information about the client and their business, the ownership structure, the goods, the geography of transactions and the nature of settlements. In case of elevated risk, the Company may carry out additional checks and request supporting documents.
3.2. Information about the client, representatives, beneficial owners and other parties to transactions is checked to the necessary extent against the applicable lists and available lawful sources. A possible match requires verification and does not in itself mean a violation.
3.3. The Company may re-verify information during the period of service, including when the client's data, payment details, business or the circumstances of transactions change. Non-resident status or the status of a politically exposed person does not in itself mean unlawful activity.
04Requirements for digital goods
4.1. The seller provides an accurate description of the goods, the price, the method and terms of delivery, the terms of use, territorial restrictions and the refund terms. The seller confirms the lawful origin of the goods and the necessary rights to distribute them.
4.2. Depending on the goods, supplier documents, licence or distribution agreements, and confirmation of authorship and of the right to resell may be requested. Buying a copy of software or a subscription does not in itself confirm the right to resell them further.
4.3. Fictitious goods and orders, counterfeit goods, stolen accounts and data, cash-out transactions disguised as purchases and the acceptance of payments for undisclosed third parties are not allowed. The seller or the actual category of the goods may not be disguised. Certain categories are allowed only after the necessary legal and banking approval.
05Transaction control
5.1. The Company analyses payments, order information, confirmations of delivery of goods, refunds, payouts and user requests in order to identify inconsistencies and prevent unlawful use of the Platform.
5.2. To clarify the circumstances of a transaction, agreements, invoices, confirmations of the order, of delivery of the goods or of provision of access, explanations of the purpose of the payment and other documents relating to the transaction may be requested. A verification request does not in itself accuse the user of a violation.
06Payouts and refunds
6.1. Payouts to sellers are made for confirmed sales to the verified bank account of the proper recipient within the permitted settlement arrangement. A change of payment details requires verification. The designation of a third party is not a sufficient basis for transferring funds to that party.
6.2. The settlement procedure, fees, payout terms and the permissible reserves and deferrals are determined by the respective agreement and the applicable requirements. This Policy does not in itself introduce additional fees, reserves or periods of withholding funds.
6.3. A refund is linked to the original purchase and is processed under the applicable refund rules and the rules of the bank and the payment system. A change of the recipient or the payment instrument is possible only on proper grounds and after the necessary checks.
6.4. This Policy describes settlements with sellers by bank transfer. It does not provide for cash payouts, payouts in crypto assets or the purchase of crypto assets with sellers' funds.
07Restrictions and cooperation with authorities
7.1. Where there are grounds provided for by legislation or an agreement, the Company may decline a connection or a transaction, restrict certain functions of the Platform or terminate service. Measures are applied within the Company's powers, taking into account the nature of the circumstances identified.
7.2. Suspension of transactions, blocking or freezing of funds is carried out only where there is an applicable legal basis. Suspicion itself or the filing of a report does not mean an arbitrary right to withhold funds. Mandatory restrictions are lifted under the established procedure.
7.3. The Company cooperates with the servicing banks and the competent state authorities and transfers information in the cases and to the extent provided for by law. Information about the check and the measure taken is communicated to the user to the extent that its disclosure is permitted by legislation.

8.2. The Company restricts access to data to a circle of authorised persons and applies measures to protect it. The transfer of information to banks, competent authorities and engaged contractors is allowed where there are proper grounds and in compliance with the applicable data protection requirements.
8.3. Documents are retained for the periods necessary for the intended purposes and for the performance of statutory obligations. At the end of the applicable periods, the data is deleted or anonymised unless there is another lawful basis for retention. The detailed terms of processing and the rights of data subjects are determined by the Platform's personal data processing policy.
8.4. Users should not send passwords, confirmation codes, PIN codes or CVV/CVC codes of bank cards. Documents containing personal data are transferred only through an agreed secure channel. To obtain instructions for transferring documents, please contact support.
09User requests

The Company responds within the limits of the information it is entitled to disclose.

10Availability and updating of the Policy
10.1. The public Policy is posted on market.platio.by. When the Platform's approach or the applicable requirements change, the Company publishes the current version.
