iii) offer more flexible and competitive pricing to attract takers; and
iv) ensure quick and reliable order fulfillment in accordance with WEEX’s service standards.

Importantly, the use of your security deposit does not in any way limit or discharge your broader liability to WEEX, Users, or third parties. WEEX may deduct from the Security Deposit at any time without prior notice in the event of regulatory breaches, unresolved disputes or chargebacks or any investigations.
