5.3 The amount of Platform Provider Fees applicable to the products and services provided to you by the Platform Provider under the Platform Agreement (“Platform Services”) will be governed by the terms of the Platform Agreement. Except where required by Applicable Law, Airwallex and its affiliates are not responsible for and have no control over any Platform Provider Fees or other amounts that the Platform Provider may require you to pay.
