However, there are not significant concentrations of credit risk arising from these financial instruments. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments are placed with several financial institutions and financial instruments from different countries that are highly liquid and highly rated. Accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located internationally and are settled through customer credit cards, debit cards and Mercado Pago accounts, with the majority of accounts receivable collected upon processing of credit card transactions. Due to the relatively small dollar amount of individual accounts receivable and loans receivable, the Company generally does not require collateral on these balances.</span></div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:'Proxima Nova',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, no single customer accounted for more than 5% of net revenues.
