You agree that you shall not bring any prosecutions, civil liability actions or any professional sanction against PingPong, its managers or employees who have reported their suspicions in good faith to the relevant authorities.

Thus, you may receive Funds only in your Beneficiary Account as approved by PingPong. PingPong may refuse to carry out any Withdrawal Instruction that may involve sending Funds to any Beneficiary Account that is not under your name, or to a bank account of which you are not the beneficial holder. Unless otherwise expressly approved by us, you shall be the sole accountholder of each of your Beneficiary Accounts.

The Withdrawal Instruction must include the following information:
(a) the amount requested in the currency corresponding to the Funds PingPong received from the Platform; and
(b) valid Beneficiary Account details.
7.3 With respect to Beneficiary Account details:
(a) You shall ensure that your Beneficiary Account information is true, accurate and complete. We shall in no event be held responsible for Funds being sent to the wrong bank account as a result of your provision of untrue, inaccurate or incomplete Beneficiary Account information. In the event that the payment is rejected due to untrue, inaccurate or incomplete Beneficiary Account information provided by you, you shall solely be responsible for relevant Fees and PingPong may directly deduct such Fees from your PingPong Balance. In case of any incorrect or misdirected payment, we shall take reasonable measures to assist you with tracing and, if reasonably feasible, recovering such payments, but we shall in no event be liable for any payments that cannot be recovered. All our additional costs in relation thereto shall be borne by you.
(b) You shall ensure that your Beneficiary Account is in good standing and able to receive Funds. If your Beneficiary Account bank rejects the Withdrawal Transaction from PingPong, Funds will be held with PingPong until a valid Beneficiary Account is provided. All costs associated thereto shall be borne by you.
(c) PingPong shall be entitled to reject any Beneficiary Accounts that do not comply with PingPong’s compliance requirements or if payments to such Beneficiary Account would violate Applicable Law. You shall provide other Beneficiary Account so that we can continue to provide the PingPong Services to you.
7.4 Once you submit a Withdrawal Instruction to PingPong to execute a Withdrawal Transaction and debit your Beneficiary Account with the amount of such Withdrawal Transaction, less all applicable Fees, the withdrawals to your Beneficiary Account shall be irrevocable and you will not be able to refund the Funds transferred into your Beneficiary Account.
7.5 After receiving a Withdrawal Instruction, PingPong will initiate a Withdrawal Transaction in the amount and currency you selected, less any Fees. Any Fees charged by the bank of your Beneficiary Account shall be your sole responsibility and PingPong shall not be liable for such fees.
7.6 PingPong reserves the right to offset from any PingPong Balance any amounts owed to PingPong by you, including, but not limited to, all Fees payable under this Agreement.
7.7 Withdrawal Instructions received by PingPong will be processed within one (1) to three (3) Business Days at the currency exchange rate as detailed in Section 9.3 below.

(b) the name of the relevant Payee;
(c) the international bank account number or, where relevant, the payment account’s details of the relevant Payee; and
(d) any other information required by PingPong to proceed with the Outbound Payment Order, including the underlying transaction details and documents, which will include any information necessary for PingPong to comply with Applicable Law.
If you are an individual or entity in mainland China, Outbound Transactions are limited to transactions in respect of warehousing, logistics, taxation and other expenses allowed pursuant to Applicable Law incurred outside of China for the purpose of selling goods or providing services on the Platform. PingPong is entitled to review or further require you to supplement the supporting materials and may refuse to process your payment instruction based on internal compliance policies.
8.2 PingPong may refuse to execute an Outbound Payment Order in the event of technical issues or if the information provided by the Customer is untrue, inaccurate or incomplete. PingPong shall make reasonable detail regarding such refusal available to the Customer on such Customer’s PingPong Account as long as the relevant Outbound Payment Order is subject to such refusal.
8.3 The time of receipt of an Outbound Payment Order, the time of execution and the value date are determined as follows:
(a) Time of receipt. The time of receipt of an Outbound Payment Order is the time when the Outbound Payment Order is actually received by PingPong. If the Outbound Payment Order is received by PingPong after the cut-off time (set by PingPong’s contracting entity as described in Section 3 hereof) on a Business Day or on a day which is not a Business Day, the Outbound Payment Order shall be deemed to have been received on the immediate succeeding Business Day for such PingPong contracting entity. Once the Outbound Payment Order is received by PingPong, it shall be irrevocable.
(b) Time of execution. After receipt of an Outbound Payment Order, PingPong shall ensure that the amount of the Outbound Payment is credited to the payee's bank or payment service provider’s account at the latest by the end of the Business Day immediately succeeding receipt of the Outbound Payment Order.
(c) Value date. The debit value date for the Customer acting as payer shall be no earlier than the point in time at which the amount of the Outbound Payment Order is debited from the Payment Account.
(d) The time limits. The time limits prescribed above are usual time limits and apply subject to the Payment Account Balance being positive and showing sufficient Funds in order for PingPong to proceed with the requested Outbound Payment Order. For the sake of clarity, the foregoing time limits may be extended due to practical circumstances of which we shall inform you accordingly.

15.3 Outbound Payment Orders can only be executed if they comply with regulatory standards. PingPong will not be held liable for any damages which could result from the non-execution or defective execution of an Outbound Payment Order where such non-execution or defective execution is due to the fact that the Customer provided information which was untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or incorrect. In the case of paying VAT in European Union, Outbound Payment Orders shall be executed according to the relevant Approved Payee’s international bank account number (IBAN) provided that such bank account is held with a bank in the European Union (the “Unique Identifier”). In the case of a discrepancy between the Unique Identifier provided by the Customer and any other information, PingPong may, without incurring any liability, rely solely on the Unique Identifier. In such case, the Funds under the relevant Outbound Payment Order transmitted by the Customer will be deemed to have been transferred to the intended beneficiary. If the Unique Identifier provided by the Customer is incorrect, PingPong will not be held liable for any damages which could result from the non-execution or defective execution of the Outbound Payment Order so long as PingPong has executed such Outbound Payment Order in accordance with the indicated Unique Identifier. The Customer will assume sole responsibility thereto and reimburse all costs of PingPong.
15.4 You acknowledge that PingPong may provide the PingPong Services using facilities provided by banks, payment service providers, clearing networks and other third-party payment processing services. No commercial agreement exists between the Service Providers and yourself and each of the Service Providers will accordingly have no direct liability to you.
15.5 We shall not be liable for any underlying sales transactions occurring on the Platform between either you or a Buyer. It is your responsibility to ensure that you only make payments to or receive payments from persons or entities related to commercial transactions in compliance with your applicable legal obligations. PingPong has no influence on the underlying process of buying or selling goods, and no legal relationship with the Platform or Buyers, and will not be made liable to or in respect of any Buyer or Platform or for the underlying products or services being sold or bought, nor for the correct completion of any sale or purchase of goods or services. You assume exclusive responsibility for your product and your obligations to Buyers and Platforms, and shall indemnify and hold PingPong harmless from any claim by any of them against PingPong. The sale of counterfeit goods or goods breaching intellectual property rights can also lead to legal action by rights holders and a potential loss of Funds. If you are in doubt as to the legality of a transaction you should not continue with your payment.
15.6 You shall be solely responsible for reporting to all applicable government tax authorities all Funds underlying your use of the PingPong Services and for the payment of any applicable taxes that apply to such payments as well as any other applicable reporting requirements including, but not limited to, any customs or foreign currency controls. PingPong may request you to provide proof of payment of taxes as and when it considers necessary and appropriate.
