1. Stripe Payments Services.

These terms (“Stripe Payments Terms”) supplement the General Terms and govern your use of the Stripe Payments Services.

2. Your Business.

You are solely responsible for the nature and quality of the goods and services you provide (or if you accept donations, the intended use of those donations), and for Transaction receipts, delivery, support, refunds, returns, and for all other ancillary services you provide to Customers. You are solely responsible for verifying each Customer’s identity, determining a Customer’s eligibility and authority to complete a Transaction, and all other issues related to your goods and services and business activities.

3. Payment Methods and Transactions.

3.1 Acceptance and Use Requirements.

As part of the Stripe Payments Services, you may accept payment from Customers using various Payment Methods by submitting Transactions to Stripe through the Stripe Technology. All Payment Methods have specific requirements for their acceptance and use. These requirements may be incorporated into the Stripe API and other Stripe Technology, and may be described in the Documentation, the Payment Method Rules and Payment Method Terms. You must comply with all of these acceptance and use requirements.

3.2 Payment Method Rules and Payment Method Terms.

Your acceptance and use of a Payment Method may be subject to Payment Method Rules, Payment Method Terms, or both. Using the Stripe Payments Services to accept a Payment Method or submit a Transaction constitutes your acceptance of the applicable Payment Method Rules and Payment Method Terms (if any). Payment Method Rules and Payment Method Terms are Financial Services Terms for purposes of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between any provision of this Agreement and the Payment Method Rules or Payment Method Terms, the applicable Payment Method Rules or Payment Method Terms will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency. The Payment Method Terms and Payment Method Rules may be amended from time to time. Your continuing use of the applicable Stripe Payments Services constitutes your agreement to those amended terms.

3.3 Acquirer Terms.

Some Payment Method Providers require that their Payment Methods be accepted only through a Payment Method Acquirer, which may be Stripe, its Affiliates, or a Financial Partner. Some of these Payment Method Providers, such as Visa and Mastercard in certain countries, require you to enter into Acquirer Terms, which will (a) identify the Payment Method Acquirer responsible for Transactions using that Payment Method Provider’s Payment Method; and (b) establish a direct contractual relationship and terms between you and the Payment Method Acquirer, as those Acquirer Terms further describe. The Acquirer Terms, which are Financial Services Terms for purposes of this Agreement, describe the Payment Methods to which they apply, and when they go into effect. By using the Stripe Payments Services to submit Visa or Mastercard Transactions, you agree to the Acquirer Terms for the applicable Payment Method Acquirers, if any, listed on the Acquirer Disclosure available on the Stripe Legal Page. Stripe may add or remove Payment Method Acquirers at any time.

3.4 Payment Method Providers and Payment Method Acquirers.

Irrespective of whether Acquirer Terms apply, your acceptance and use of the Payment Method may also be subject to Payment Method Rules or Payment Method Terms (or both), as Section 3.2 of these Stripe Payments Terms describes. Payment Method Providers and Payment Method Acquirers are Financial Partners for purposes of this Agreement. Payment Method Providers may enforce the terms of this Agreement directly against you with respect to that Payment Method Provider’s Payment Method(s). A Payment Method Provider or Payment Method Acquirer may terminate your ability to accept a Payment Method at any time and for any reason, in which case you will no longer be able to accept that Payment Method under this Agreement. Stripe may add or remove Payment Method Providers at any time. Stripe may, with notice to you, change Payment Methods in your integration of the Services.

3.5 Card Transactions.

(a) Card Network Rules. When accepting payment card Transactions, you must comply with all applicable Card Network Rules, including the Visa Rules specified by Visa, the Mastercard Rules specified by Mastercard, and the Card Network Rules specified by American Express. Each Card Network may amend its Card Network Rules at any time without notice to you.

(b) Location and Identification. You may only accept payment card Transactions in locations authorised by Stripe and the applicable Card Network. The Card Networks may request information and certification relating to your location, and make a final determination of your location. You must prominently and clearly disclose your name, address, and country location to Customers before Customers are prompted to provide payment card information. You must ensure that Customers understand that you are responsible for the Transactions. You must not act as or hold yourself out as a payment facilitator, intermediary or aggregator, or otherwise resell the Stripe Payments Services. You must not misrepresent yourself as being a member of any Card Network.

(c) Use of Cash. You must not provide cash refunds for a completed Transaction made with a payment card, unless required by Law. You must not use Stripe Payments Services for any transaction for a cash disbursement or purchase of cash vouchers without approval from Stripe. You must not permit Customers to use payment cards to disburse cash to a third party, except to the extent the Card Network Rules permit.

(d) Debt Repayment. You must not accept payment card Transactions (i) to collect or refinance existing debt that you have deemed uncollectible or that is uncollectible by Law; (ii) for previous card charges; or (iii) to collect a dishonoured cheque. Debt repayment is only permitted when performed in compliance with the Card Network Rules.

(e) Surcharging. You must comply with all Card Network Rules and Law that limit your ability to (i) discriminate by payment card brand or type; (ii) charge surcharges or other fees, or Taxes for acceptance of payment cards; and (iii) provide discounts. You may only charge surcharges, other fees, or Taxes for accepting payment cards where permitted, and in such cases you must not impose a surcharge on your Customers in excess of applicable surcharging limits.

(f) Use of Payment Card Account Data. You must not request or use a payment card account number for any purpose other than for a Transaction. You must not use payment card account numbers or payment card Transaction data other than as Law, the Card Network Rules and this Agreement permit. You must not store the card verification value (or similar security code) data after card authorisation.

(g) Waiver of Dispute Rights. You must not require, as a condition to card acceptance, any Customer to waive a right to dispute a Transaction.

(h) Non-Disparagement. You must not disparage, criticise or mischaracterise any Card Network or any of their services, cards or programs, or submit any Transaction that harms any Card Network.

(i) Audit and Forensic Investigations. A Card Network may initiate audits and forensic investigations in accordance with its Card Network Rules. You must fully cooperate with these audits and forensic investigations. This subsection (i) will survive termination of this Agreement.

(j) Security Programs. You must comply with the Card Networks’ security standards, requirements and programs (e.g., the Visa Account Information Security Program), and all Card Network Rules governing the privacy, protection, and your use, storage and disclosure of data.

(k) Limited Acceptance. Each Card Network may allow you to accept only a subset of that Card Network’s cards, in which case you must follow the Card Network Rules that govern limited acceptance.

(l) Minimum or Maximum Amounts. You must not establish minimum or maximum amounts for payment card Transactions, except as the Card Network Rules permit.

(m) Forms. You must not require any Customer to complete a form that includes the Customer’s signature or any Payment Account Details in plain view when mailed.

(n) Harmful Material. Your site and establishment (if applicable) must not contain libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic or profane material or any instructions that may cause harm to individuals.

(o) Acceptance. If you accept payment cards, then you must indicate that fact wherever you inform your Customers of the Payment Methods you accept, including on your website.

(p) Estimated Amounts. If you wish to obtain authorisation for the estimated amount of a Transaction, you must obtain your Customer’s consent to the estimated amount before requesting the authorisation. As soon as you become aware of the full amount to be captured, you must submit the request to capture funds. If the full amount of the charge exceeds the amount for which you obtained an authorisation, you must obtain a new authorisation for the full amount.

(q) Intra-EEA and Intra-country Transactions. You must use the same name in authentication messages you submit for intra-EEA Transactions and intra-country Transactions.

(r) PIN Entry Device Asset Management. You must appropriately manage PIN entry device assets, including by (i) recording the stock and serial numbers of each PIN entry device; (ii) recording the location of each PIN entry device; and (iii) undertaking basic electronic and physical identification and authentication of each PIN entry device.

3.6 American Express Conversion – Only Applicable to the American Express Card Network.

If your American Express Transaction volume exceeds the applicable threshold amount set by American Express, American Express may convert you to a direct American Express merchant. As a direct American Express merchant, you and American Express will enter into a separate agreement which will govern your acceptance of American Express payment cards, and you and American Express must directly agree to your pricing and other fees payable for American Express Transaction processing. Stripe will continue to process your American Express Transactions in accordance with this Agreement, except that Stripe will incorporate the new pricing and fees into the applicable Stripe fees.

3.7 Data Sharing.

Stripe may share information about your Stripe Account, including User Information, with Payment Method Providers and Payment Method Acquirers as Stripe believes necessary to verify your eligibility to use the Stripe Payments Services, establish any necessary accounts or credit with Payment Method Providers and Payment Method Acquirers, monitor Transactions and other activity, and conduct risk management and compliance reviews. Stripe may also share data, including Protected Data, with Payment Method Providers and Payment Method Acquirers, and they may use and share this data, for the purpose of assessing your compliance with Financial Services Terms and facilitating Stripe’s, the Payment Method Providers’, and the Payment Method Acquirers’ compliance with Law, Payment Method Rules and Payment Method Terms. You waive your right to bring any claim against Stripe arising from Stripe sharing information about User Group with Payment Method Providers and Payment Method Acquirers, including any inclusion on a Terminated Merchant List that results from this sharing. Stripe may periodically review your Stripe Account information to verify that you are eligible to use the Stripe Payments Services.

3.8 Customer Communication.

When using the Stripe Payments Services you must, with respect to Customers (a) accurately communicate and not misrepresent the nature, amount and currency of each Transaction prior to submitting it for processing; (b) provide a receipt that accurately describes each Transaction; (c) provide a meaningful way to contact you in the event that your goods or services are not provided as described; (d) not use the Stripe Payments Services to sell goods or services in a manner that is unfair or deceptive, exposes Customers to unreasonable risks, or does not disclose material terms of a purchase in advance; (e) inform Customers that Stripe processes Transactions for you; and (f) if you are collecting authorisations electronically, ensure that Customers consent to electronic signatures and delivery of communications in accordance with Law. If you engage in Transactions with Customers who are consumers, you must provide the disclosures Law requires, and must not engage in unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices.

3.9 Requirements Imposed by Payment Method Rules.

As required by the Payment Method Rules (a) as between the parties, each party is responsible for the acts and omissions of its employees, contractors and agents; (b) unless a Payment Method Provider agrees otherwise, you cannot bind a Payment Method Provider to any contract or obligation, and you must not represent that you can do so; (c) you will meet data quality requirements for relevant categories of Transaction data (as described in the Payment Method Rules) and in respect of that data, you must comply with all technical specifications mandated by the relevant Payment Method Provider; and (d) you must ensure that Transaction data that you collect is processed promptly, accurately and completely. You must maintain and make available to Customers a fair and neutral refund and exchange policy, and clearly explain the process by which Customers can receive a Refund. Payment Method Providers retain all IP Rights in their Marks, and you must not contest any Payment Method Provider’s IP Rights in their Marks. You may only use Payment Method Providers’ Marks in a manner consistent with the Payment Method Rules, and you must promptly comply with all instructions from Stripe regarding use or presentation of Payment Method Providers’ Marks. You are solely responsible for providing support to Customers regarding Transaction receipts, product or service delivery, support, returns, refunds and all other issues related to your goods and services and business activities. Without limiting the previous sentence, you must make customer service information readily available to your Customers, including clear instructions on how your Customers can contact you by email and telephone.

3.10 Stripe Radar; Your Responsibility for Transactions.

The Stripe Radar Services may be enabled by default and are governed by the Stripe Radar Terms. If you do not wish to use the Stripe Radar Services in connection with Stripe Payments Services, you must contact Stripe support to disable it. You are solely responsible for all losses you and the Stripe Parties incur due to erroneous and fraudulent Transactions that occur in connection with your use of the Services, including as a result of (a) lost or stolen payment credentials or the details of any accounts that are used to purchase goods or services from you; (b) any changes to the User Bank Accounts; and (c) any unauthorised use of, or access or modification to, your Stripe Account.

4. Processing Transactions.

4.1 Blended Fees.

By using Stripe Payments Services, you request Stripe to blend Fees for payment card processing for all merchant services charges, regardless of the underlying differences in interchange fees between different payment card brands and categories. If you have a question about Fees or wish to receive unblended rates for payment card processing, please contact us.

4.2 Payment Authorisation Requests.

(a) Processing Transactions. To enable Stripe to process Transactions for you, you authorise and direct Stripe, its Affiliates, Payment Method Providers and Payment Method Acquirers to receive and settle, as applicable, settlement funds owed to you through your use of the Stripe Payments Services. You may only submit Transactions that Customers authorise, and only after the applicable goods have been shipped or services provided to the Customer; except, you may submit a Transaction before goods have been shipped or services have been provided to the Customer where the Customer has authorised a Transaction for a partial or full prepayment for goods or services to be provided at a future time, or you have obtained the Customer’s consent.

(b) Transaction Responsibility. You must not proceed with a Transaction if (i) you know or should have known that the Transaction was fraudulent, not authorised by the Customer, or illegal in your or your Customer’s jurisdiction; (ii) you receive a response declining to authorise the Transaction; or (iii) the Customer’s ability to use a Payment Method has expired or is no longer valid. You must not split payment for a single transaction into multiple Transactions except as the Payment Method Rules, Payment Method Terms and Acquirer Terms expressly permit. You must not submit any Transaction that duplicates a Transaction that is already subject to a Dispute, or was previously disputed and subsequently resolved in your favour. Stripe may refuse to process, or condition or suspend any Transaction that Stripe believes (x) may violate this Agreement or other agreement you have with Stripe (if any); (y) is unauthorised, fraudulent or illegal; or (z) exposes, or is likely to expose, Stripe, you or others to unacceptable risk. When submitting an authorisation request for a Transaction that will be processed using Visa Secure, you must input the Cardholder Authentication Verification Value ("CAVV") your issuing bank or Visa provides to you.

4.3 Settlement Funds.

You appoint Stripe as your agent for the limited purpose of directing, receiving, holding and settling funds under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, no agency is established for tax purposes. All settlement funds Stripe receives for Transactions are combined with settlement funds held for other Stripe users and safeguarded as Safeguarded Funds. Once Stripe receives settlement funds, the relevant Customer has no further obligation to make payments to you with respect to a Transaction. Stripe will promptly update your Stripe Account balance to reflect processed Transactions. If, in the capacity as your agent, Stripe provides a receipt for a Transaction to the applicable Customer, that receipt is binding on you. Prior to transferring settlement funds to the User Bank Account, Stripe may invest Safeguarded Funds as described in Section 5.2 of the General Terms. You have no rights to any earnings generated by Safeguarded Funds and are not entitled to draw funds from any Pooled Account.

4.4 Transaction Settlement Funds.

Stripe will transfer settlement funds for Transactions, net of Fees, Disputes, Refunds, Reversals and other amounts owed to Stripe, from the applicable Pooled Account to the applicable User Bank Account within the time period stated in the Payout Schedule, unless a Payout Delay occurs and affects the transfer initiation, or Stripe exercises a right under this Agreement to withhold or delay the transfer. However, Stripe may impose an additional holding period before making the initial settlement to a User Bank Account.

4.5 Sending Funds to Third-Party Recipients.

Stripe may offer you the ability to send to a third party funds owed to you as you instruct Stripe (including by sending all or part of the positive balance in your Stripe Account to that third-party recipient’s Stripe account or bank account), instead of settling funds to a User Bank Account. If Stripe sends funds to a third-party recipient which may include the use of a payment intermediary operating on your behalf, as this Section 4.5 contemplates, then Stripe’s obligations (and all applicable Payment Method Provider and Payment Method Acquirer obligations) to settle those funds to you are satisfied.

4.6 Settlement Fees.

Stripe is not responsible for any fees imposed by banks to which Stripe transfers funds, including the banks that hold the User Bank Accounts and the third-party recipient accounts.

4.7 Subscriptions and Invoicing.

If you use the Services to submit recurring or subscription Transactions, then before submitting the initial Transaction, you must (a) inform each Customer that the relevant Transactions will occur on an ongoing basis; and (b) explain the method for cancelling the Customer’s recurring billing or subscription. If you use the Services to issue invoices to Customers, you must ensure that the form and content of the invoices comply with Law and are sufficient to achieve the legal or tax effects that you are trying to achieve.

4.8 Customer Authorisations.

If you use the Stripe Payments Services for certain Transactions where the Customer is not present, including MOTO Transactions or Merchant Initiated Transactions, or to store a Customer’s Payment Method for future use, you may be required by Law and Payment Method Rules to obtain the Customer’s authorisation (also known as a mandate or agreement for the provision of products or services) and make certain disclosures to the Customer. These disclosures may include when, and under what circumstances, the Customer’s Payment Method will be charged, how the payment amount will be determined, and how future payments can be canceled. You must retain, and provide to Stripe upon request, records demonstrating that you have (a) obtained any required Customer authorisations in compliance with Law and Payment Method Rules; and (b) only submitted Transactions as MOTO Transactions or Merchant Initiated Transactions that you have determined are eligible.

5. Actions Stripe May Take in Processing Transactions.

5.1 Reconciliation and Responsibility.

As between the parties, and except as required by Law, you are responsible for reviewing your Transaction history for accuracy and completeness, and reconciling your Transaction history with the history of transfers from the Pooled Accounts to the User Bank Accounts. If you find an error when you reconcile your Transaction history, Stripe will reasonably cooperate with you to investigate and help correct that error as long as you notify Stripe of the error within 13 months after the error appears in your Transaction history. Stripe may correct any errors in your Transaction history by crediting or debiting the User Bank Accounts.

5.2 Negative Balances.

If your Stripe Account balance (or the Stripe Account balance of any User Entity) is negative, or does not contain funds sufficient to pay amounts that you (or a User Entity) owe to a Stripe Entity or Customers, then without limiting Stripe’s rights under Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the General Terms, Stripe may debit the User Bank Accounts by the amount necessary to collect, and pay out to Customers if applicable, the amounts you owe.

5.3 Disputes; Refunds; Reversals.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, you are liable to Stripe for the full amount of all Disputes (unless and until a Dispute is resolved to final disposition in your favor according to applicable Payment Method Rules and as described in the Documentation), Refunds and Reversals regardless of the reason or timing.

(a) Disputes. Stripe may delay or withhold paying out a Transaction amount from funds owed to you if Stripe reasonably believes that a Dispute is likely to occur with respect to that Transaction. Stripe may delay or withhold paying out amounts subject to an actual Dispute until the Payment Method Provider resolves the Dispute.

(b) Refunds. If you intend to issue a Refund to a Customer, you must initiate a Refund instruction via the Services within 5 days after informing the Customer of your intention. Stripe may refuse to act upon a Refund instruction, or delay executing the instruction, if you are the subject of an Insolvency Event, if it would cause a negative balance in your Stripe Account, or if Stripe believes that there is a risk you will not meet your liabilities under this Agreement.

(c) Reversals. Without limiting Stripe’s rights under Sections 5.4 - 5.6 of these Stripe Payments Terms, Stripe may initiate a Reversal if:

(i) the Payment Method Provider invalidates the Transaction;

(ii) you receive funds in error for any reason;

(iii) you were not authorised to accept the Transaction;

(iv) you receive funds related to activities that violate this Agreement, Law or Financial Services Terms; or

(v) a Payment Method Provider or Payment Method Acquirer requires Stripe to do so under the applicable Financial Services Terms.

5.4 Stripe Remedies – Specific Triggers.

Stripe may exercise any or all of the remedies stated in Section 5.6 of these Stripe Payments Terms if Stripe determines that a User Entity:

(a) has incurred or is likely to incur excessive Disputes, Refunds or Reversals;

(b) has submitted one or more Transactions for goods or services not immediately deliverable to the Customer without first obtaining Stripe’s consent;

(c) has a negative Stripe Account balance;

(d) has experienced or is likely to experience a change in the average time between the initial charge and fulfilment of Customer orders that Stripe considers to be material;

(e) is or is likely to become the subject of an Insolvency Event;

(f) has experienced or is likely to experience a deterioration of its business or financial condition that Stripe considers to be material;

(g) has breached or is likely to breach, or has caused or is likely to cause Stripe to breach, this Agreement (or any other Stripe services agreement with a Stripe Entity) or the Financial Services Terms applicable to the User Entity’s use of the Services;

(h) has violated or is likely to violate Law or Financial Services Terms;

(i) has caused or is likely to cause Stripe to violate Law or Financial Services Terms;

(j) has experienced or is likely to experience a Change of Control;

(k) has, either itself or by way of its employees, agents, directors or contractors, initiated Transactions or undertaken any other action that is or is likely to be fraudulent, suspicious or involve criminal activity;

(l) has, without Stripe’s prior consent, changed its business model (including services supplied by a User Entity to its customers), exposing Stripe to increased risk; or

(m) has acted in a manner or engaged in business, trading practice or other activity that presents an unacceptable risk.

5.5 Stripe Remedies – General Trigger.

Stripe may exercise any or all of the remedies stated in Section 5.6 of these Stripe Payments Terms if (a) Stripe reasonably determines that Stripe may incur losses resulting from credit, fraud, criminal activity or other risks associated with a User Entity after these Stripe Payments Terms terminate; or (b) Law requires.

5.6 Stripe Remedies – Scope.

Stripe may, in accordance with Sections 5.4 and 5.5 of these Stripe Payments Terms:

(a) initiate Reversals;

(b) change the Payout Schedule or delay or cancel the payout of funds to the User Bank Accounts;

(c) establish, fund and use a Reserve;

(d) debit the User Bank Accounts or the bank or financial institution accounts of any or all User Group Entities;

(e) suspend or terminate your ability to accept or process Transactions;

(f) refuse to (i) process Transactions, and (ii) act upon Refund instructions; and

(g) setoff or recoup all liability that Stripe reasonably determines a User Entity owes to Stripe or a Stripe Affiliate under this Agreement or another agreement, against any amounts that a Stripe Entity owes to a User Entity whether the liability is matured, unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated.

5.7 Reserve.

If Stripe establishes a Reserve, Stripe will notify you of the Reserve terms. If Stripe uses Safeguarded Funds to fund a Reserve, then Stripe will no longer safeguard those funds on your behalf. Stripe may change the Reserve terms (a) if Stripe believes that there is, or is likely to be, a change in the underlying risk presented by the User Group’s use of Stripe services; or (b) as a Payment Method Acquirer or Payment Method Provider requires. Stripe will hold all Reserves in Pooled Reserve Accounts with Financial Partners in Stripe's name and will own all earnings generated from those Reserves. You have no legal or equitable right or interest in any Reserve, or earnings generated by any Reserve, and are not entitled to draw from any Reserve. If you become subject to an Insolvency Event, a Reserve will not be part of any estate created in connection with that Insolvency Event. Stripe may fund a Reserve through any or all of:

(i) using funds you provide upon Stripe’s request;

(ii) using funds that a Stripe Entity owes to any User Entity for Transactions that the User Group accepts through the Stripe Payments Services; and

(iii) debiting the User Bank Accounts or the bank or financial institution accounts of any or all User Group Entities.

5.8 Security Interest.

You will execute all documents Stripe reasonably requests to create, perfect, maintain and enforce a security interest over assets Stripe believes are necessary to secure your performance of your payment obligations under this Agreement.

5.9 Credit Support Requirement.

Stripe may require that you provide a guarantee (including a personal, parent or bank guarantee) or letter of credit in a form and substance that satisfies Stripe. In this event, Stripe will inform you of the amount of and the reasons for the requirement. If you are unable to satisfy the requirement when Stripe requires you to do so, Stripe may suspend or terminate your access to the Services.

6. Multi-Currency Processing.

Stripe may offer Multi-Currency Processing. To use Multi-Currency Processing, you must provide to Stripe a valid bank account for each currency for which you request settlement, based on the list of available settlement currencies stated in the Documentation. Each of these bank accounts is a User Bank Account for the purposes of this Agreement. If you use Multi-Currency Processing, Stripe will identify at the time of each applicable Transaction the conversion rate that will apply to the Transaction. In the event of a Refund, the conversion rate that will be used to calculate the Refund will be the rate in effect at the time of the Refund.

7. Post-Termination Obligations.

7.1 Completion of Transactions.

Following termination of these Stripe Payments Terms, you must fulfil your obligations related to existing Transactions, not accept new Transactions via the Services, and remove all Marks of a Stripe Entity or a Financial Partner from your website (unless permitted under a separate license with the applicable Financial Partner). Stripe will complete Transactions initiated before termination as long as Stripe would have completed those Transactions were these Stripe Payments Terms still in place (e.g., Stripe will not complete a Transaction if a Financial Partner prohibits Stripe from doing so). Termination does not affect your responsibility for Transactions described in Section 3 of these Stripe Payments Terms.

7.2 Provision of Payment Account Details.

If these Stripe Payments Terms terminate for reasons other than your breach, then within 30 days after the termination date, you may request in writing that Stripe provide all relevant Payment Account Details to an alternative PCI-DSS Level 1-certified payment processor that you identify to Stripe. Stripe will provide the Payment Account Details that you are entitled to receive to the named payment processor to the extent commercially reasonable. Stripe may delay or refuse any request if Stripe believes the payment processor you have identified does not have systems or controls in place that are sufficient to protect Payment Account Details, that the integrity of Payment Account Details may be compromised, or that Law or Financial Services Terms do not allow Stripe to provide the Payment Account Details.

8. User Information Updates.

You must immediately notify Stripe, and provide to Stripe updated User Information, if you experience or anticipate experiencing a material change in the average time between the initial charge and fulfilment of Customer orders. Upon request, you must promptly provide to Stripe information related to Transactions and Disputes, including (a) refund and shipping policies (if applicable); (b) data on captured but unfulfilled charges; and (c) data on the time between charge capture and fulfilment of Customer orders.

9. PCI Standards Compliance.

If you elect to store or hold "Account Data," as defined in the PCI Standards (including Customer card account number or expiration date), you must maintain a system that complies with the PCI Standards and upon Stripe’s request, you must provide to Stripe evidence of your compliance. If you do not comply with the PCI Standards, or if Stripe or any Payment Method Provider or Payment Method Acquirer is unable to verify your compliance with the PCI Standards, Stripe may suspend your Stripe Account or terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part. If you intend to use a third-party service provider to store or transmit Payment Account Details (including Customer card account number and expiration date) then you must not share any Payment Account Details with the service provider until you verify that the third party holds sufficient certifications under the PCI Standards, and must notify Stripe of your intention to share Payment Account Details with the service provider. Further, you agree to never store or hold any "Sensitive Authentication Data," as defined by the PCI Standards (including the card verification value or similar security code), at any time. You can find information about the PCI Standards on the PCI Council’s website.

10. Representations and Warranties.

You represent as of the Effective Date, and warrant during the Term, that (a) you only use the Payment Methods and Stripe Payments Services for bona fide commercial transactions (which must be free of liens, claims, and encumbrances other than ordinary sales taxes) for the sale of goods or services to, or other act with, Customers; (b) except as Stripe approves, you do not use the Stripe Payments Services for intercompany transactions; (c) you fulfil all of your obligations to Customers; and (d) you and your third-party service providers that store, access or transmit Payment Account Details comply with the PCI Standards, as applicable.

11. Fraudulent Transactions.

As between the parties, you are responsible for all (a) losses, damages, and costs Stripe and its Affiliates incur due to fraudulent Transactions, and the limitations on liability in Section 12.2 of the SSA do not apply; and (b) costs associated with any Financial Partner-initiated audit or forensic investigation arising out of or relating to your use of the Stripe Payments Services.

12. Liability for Failure to Transfer Funds.

The limitation of liability in Section 12.2(b) of the General Terms will not apply to claims you or your Affiliates make against the Stripe Parties for failing to transfer any settlement funds the Stripe Parties receive and owe to you in connection with the Stripe Payments Services. For these claims, the Stripe Parties’ liability is limited to the amount that the Stripe Parties have received and owe, but failed to transfer, to you.

13. Complaints.

If you have a complaint with the Stripe Payments Services, please contact [email protected]. You can find more information about Stripe’s Complaints Policy here. If your complaint is unresolved, you may be entitled to refer it to the Irish Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman (FSPO). You can find more information about the FSPO, its contact details and the eligibility requirements in Stripe’s Complaints Policy and at www.fspo.ie.

You may use the Stripe Connect Services to enable your Platform Users to use the Services in conjunction with your Platform Services.

2. Stripe Obligations.

2.1 Connected Accounts.

Connected Accounts may use the Services in accordance with the Connected Account Agreement. Stripe may suspend or stop providing any Services to Connected Accounts in accordance with the terms of the Connected Account Agreement.

You must notify those Connected Accounts of the modification promptly after you receive the modification notice from Stripe.

2.3 Definitions Applied to Connected Accounts; General Terms Clarification.

Where defined terms are applied to a Connected Account (rather than you) in these terms, the relevant definition will be deemed to reference the Connected Account (e.g., when the term Services is applied to a Connected Account it means the Stripe services that Stripe makes available to the Connected Account under the Connected Account Agreement, and when the term Disputes is applied to a Connected Account it means Disputes that Connected Account incurs). Connected Accounts are not third parties for the purposes of, or eligible to make a Claim under, Section 11 of the General Terms.

3. Your Obligations.

3.1 Stripe Connect Services Integration and Use.

You must integrate the Stripe API and use the Stripe Connect Services in accordance with the Documentation and this Agreement. You must use the Stripe Connect Services and Connected Account Data in accordance with Law and your Platform Provider Agreement. You must clearly and prominently disclose all Platform Fees, if any, and, to the extent charged separately, the Services.

3.2 Connected Accounts and Transactional Risk.

You must ensure that Connected Accounts do not use the Services in breach of the Connected Account Agreement or for any activity that Law or this Agreement prohibits. You must immediately inform Stripe if you become aware that a Connected Account is engaging in any activity that is fraudulent, deceptive or harmful, or in breach of the Connected Account Agreement or this Agreement. You must cooperate with Stripe to reduce the risk of fraud or other misuse of the Services, including by providing relevant information to Stripe.

3.3 Prohibited and Restricted Businesses.

You must ensure that no Connected Account uses the Services to conduct a Prohibited or Restricted Business or transact with a Prohibited or Restricted Business.

3.4 Activity.

A Connected Account may perform Activity, or you may perform Activity on behalf of a Connected Account, depending on how you integrate the Stripe API into your Platform Services. You are responsible for all Activity initiated by you, your representatives, and any individual or entity using your credentials, including your Stripe Account login and password and your Stripe API key. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, where either Stripe or a Connected Account incurs any losses, damages or costs based on unauthorised Activity initiated by you or on your behalf, then as between Stripe and you, you are liable for those losses, damages or costs.

3.5 Your Agreements with Connected Accounts.

Your Platform Provider Agreement must explain how you access and use Connected Account Data, and the Activity that you may conduct on the Connected Accounts’ behalf via the Stripe Connect Services.

You may surface the Connected Account Agreement either through a Stripe-powered onboarding flow (e.g., embedded, Stripe-hosted or Stripe-assisted onboarding), or through your own onboarding flow. At Stripe’s request, you must provide proof as Stripe requires that these agreements have been entered into between the Connected Accounts and Stripe. If Stripe believes that your existing acceptance process does not create a binding agreement between Stripe and each Connected Account, then, upon Stripe’s request, you must modify that process as Stripe requires.

(c) Responsibility for Connected Accounts. As between Stripe and you, you are responsible for all Activity on these Connected Accounts, whether initiated by you or not, and are liable to Stripe for all resulting Merchant Losses (except with respect to SMR-Enabled Connected Accounts to the extent stated in Section 5.2 below) and any other losses, damages, and costs that result from use of the Services, including any fines assessed by Financial Partners or Governmental Authorities, except to the extent the losses, damages, or costs arise from Stripe’s breach of this Agreement or Stripe’s negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud. You remain jointly and severally liable with these Connected Accounts to Stripe for these amounts, and Stripe may collect these amounts from you in accordance with the Agreement.

You must ensure that each Platform User that you intend to onboard as a Custom Account agrees to the Connected Account Agreement before it uses any Stripe services. At Stripe’s request, you must provide proof as Stripe requires that these agreements have been entered into between the Custom Accounts and Stripe.

(c) Stripe Dashboard. Custom Accounts will not have access to a Stripe Dashboard.

(d) Responsibility for Custom Accounts and Express Accounts. You are responsible and liable to Stripe for all Activity on Custom Accounts and Express Accounts, whether initiated by you or not, including all Transactions, Disputes, Refunds, Reversals, associated fines and any use of the Services in a manner prohibited under this Agreement or the Connected Account Agreement. You and the relevant Connected Account are jointly and severally liable to Stripe for amounts the Connected Account owes to Stripe, and Stripe may collect these amounts from you in accordance with this Agreement. If Stripe determines that your responsibility for Activity on Custom Accounts and Express Accounts creates an unacceptable risk to Stripe, Stripe may exercise its remedies listed in Section 5.6 of the Stripe Payments Terms.

5. Stripe Managed Risk Services.

The Fees for Stripe Radar Services are not included in the Stripe Managed Risk Services Fees.

5.2 Liability for Merchant Losses.

As between you and Stripe, Stripe is liable for Merchant Losses on an SMR-Enabled Connected Account up to the amount of the risk cap, if any is expressly agreed on by the parties, except (a) as stated in Section 5.5; and (b) to the extent these Merchant Losses arise from your fraud, violation of Law, breach of the Agreement (including these Stripe Connect Terms), negligence, willful misconduct, or misuse of the Stripe Connect Services. The limitations on liability in Section 12 of the General Terms will not apply with respect to Stripe’s liability for Merchant Losses under this Section 5.2.

5.3 Changes in Risk Profile.

Stripe determines the Stripe Managed Risk Services Fees based on the risk profile Stripe associates with your Connected Accounts. If Stripe determines that the risk profile of your SMR-Enabled Connected Accounts changes significantly, then Stripe may revise the Stripe Managed Risk Services Fees. Stripe will notify you at least 30 days (or a longer period if Law requires) before the revised Stripe Managed Risk Services Fees apply to you.

5.4 Transitioning Off Stripe Managed Risk Services.

To transition off Stripe Managed Risk Services, you must either permanently stop using Stripe Connect Services with respect to all SMR-Enabled Connected Accounts, or migrate all payments volume from SMR-Enabled Connected Accounts to Connected Account types that do not enable Stripe Managed Risk Services within a reasonable time period. Stripe Managed Risk Services Fees will continue to apply for all Transactions on SMR-Enabled Connected Accounts during and after the Post-SMR Transition Period.

5.5 Liability for Merchant Losses During Post-SMR Transition Period.

You and the relevant Platform User become jointly and severally liable to Stripe for all Merchant Losses on all SMR-Enabled Connected Accounts associated with a Platform User from when you initiate the first Transaction for that Platform User on a Connected Account type that does not enable Stripe Managed Risk Services. Stripe may collect these amounts according to the Agreement and the Connected Account Agreement, as applicable, including Merchant Losses that arise during the Post-SMR Transition Period resulting from Activity that occurred before the Post-SMR Transition Period. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, Stripe’s aggregate liability for Merchant Losses on all SMR-Enabled Connected Accounts during the Post-SMR Transition Period will not exceed the amount of the General Damages cap stated in Section 12 of the General Terms. Stripe’s liability for Merchant Losses on SMR-Enabled Connected Accounts ends at the end of the Post-SMR Transition Period.

6. Tax Reporting; Tax Invoicing.

These Stripe Climate Commitment terms (“Climate Commitment Terms”) and Stripe Climate Orders terms (“Climate Orders Terms”) (collectively, the “Terms”) supplement the General Terms, and govern your use of Stripe Climate Commitment and Stripe Climate Orders. Frontier Climate Operations, LLC (“Frontier”), Stripe’s Affiliate, provides Stripe Climate Orders. For purposes of Stripe Climate Orders, each reference to "Stripe" in the General Terms will be read as a reference to Frontier.

1. Overview

Stripe conducts research into Climate Projects and purchases carbon removal services. You may make voluntary contributions to Climate Projects through Stripe Climate Commitment. Frontier uses Offtake Agreements to acquire Carbon Removal Units. You may verify the availability of, and purchase Retirement Services through Stripe Climate Orders.

2. Stripe Climate Commitment Terms

2.1 Opting In and Out, and Changes.

You must opt in to make a contribution during onboarding or via the Stripe Climate Commitment page of your Stripe Dashboard You may opt out of, change, or pause your contribution to Stripe Climate Commitment at any time in your Stripe Dashboard.

2.2 Climate Commitment Funds.

(a) Climate Commitment Funds Allocation. Once you opt in, Stripe or its Affiliate may deduct the Climate Commitment Funds from your Stripe Account balance or User Bank Account on a per-Transaction basis, or as an amount aggregated over a period of time, as described in your Stripe Dashboard. Stripe will allocate all Climate Commitment Funds to advance the field of carbon removal, through activities such as purchasing metric tons of carbon removal, or funding research and development for new carbon removal technologies. Climate Commitment Funds are not refundable.

(b) Stripe Climate Commitment Goals. The goal of Stripe Climate Commitment is to help advance the field of carbon removal and Climate Commitment Funds will be used in support of that goal. While Stripe will use reasonable efforts to fund impactful Climate Projects, companies receiving Climate Commitment Funds are developing new technology in an evolving industry and their survival and success in addressing climate issues are not guaranteed. Development timelines of many new technologies are long, the resulting impact may not be immediate, and there is always a risk that the chosen technologies fail to deliver any carbon removal. Even if they are eventually successful in obtaining results, Climate Projects may take years to produce those results.

(c) Use of Climate Commitment Funds. You decide voluntarily whether to, and in what amount, to allocate Climate Commitment Funds. Stripe may choose not to use your Climate Commitment Funds immediately after deducting them from your Stripe Account; rather, Stripe may allocate them after Stripe identifies a Climate Project. Stripe will inform you regularly about how Climate Commitment Funds were allocated. Stripe will not apply Climate Commitment Funds toward its own corporate or administrative costs.

(d) No Carbon Credits. The carbon removal services Stripe purchases are not certified by any governmental or non-governmental body. They are not “authorized” under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Stripe disclaims all warranties regarding (i) the status under applicable governmental or non-governmental programs or pursuant to standards set by governmental or non-governmental bodies, whether implemented now or in the future, (ii) the availability of any current or future tax credit, benefit, or treatment, or (iii) any other financial benefits, associated with the carbon removal services that Stripe purchases.

(e) Taxes. The Climate Commitment Funds you allocate may not be eligible for a tax deduction. You should consult with your tax or legal advisor on the local tax treatment of allocated Climate Commitment Funds. Climate Commitment Funds exclude all Taxes, except as the Documentation states to the contrary.

3. Stripe Climate Orders Terms

3.1 Your Use of Stripe Climate Orders.

You must only use Stripe Climate Orders in compliance with these Stripe Climate Orders Terms. You must use the Stripe Climate Orders for business purposes only, which must be consistent with the business purpose descriptions you provided to Stripe at the time of onboarding and updated at any time thereafter. You may not use the Stripe Climate Orders for personal, family, or household use.

3.2 CRUs.

(a) Frontier uses Offtake Agreements to acquire CRUs, as further described on the Frontier Webpage. To the extent commercially reasonable, Frontier will review (i) the sources of CRUs; and (ii) the terms governing the generation of those CRUs.

(b) Frontier will make Retirement Services available to you for purchase subject to: (i) the availability of CRUs in carbon markets; (ii) Frontier’s ability to secure all necessary rights (including contractual rights) for the future delivery of the CRUs; and (iii) Frontier’s receipt of those CRUs. You may verify the availability of CRUs for Retirement, and purchase Retirement Services using the Climate API or the Dashboard. While Frontier will provide you with information about the CRUs available for Retirement, it is your responsibility to verify that the CRUs meet your needs or the needs of a Beneficiary.

(c) Frontier may be unable to acquire sufficient quantities of CRUs to fulfill orders for Retirement Services. The CRU(s) that Frontier ultimately Retires on your behalf may have been generated from an Offtake Agreement that Frontier executed after your initial purchase. In order to provide Retirement Services, Frontier reserves the right to: (i) substitute CRUs from any one carbon removal supplier with a CRU from a different carbon removal supplier; or (ii) allocate then-current inventory of CRUs among Purchasers.

(d) The CRUs are not “authorized” under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Frontier disclaims all warranties regarding (i) the status of CRUs under applicable governmental or non-governmental programs or pursuant to standards set by governmental or non-governmental bodies, whether implemented now or in the future, (ii) the availability of any current or future tax credit, benefit, or treatment, or (iii) any other financial benefits, associated with your purchase of Retirement Services or the associated CRU(s).

3.3 Retirement.

(a) On or before the last day of the Retirement Year, Frontier: (i) on your behalf, will Retire the CRU; or (ii) if applicable, will transfer title to the CRU to you. If you have designated a Beneficiary, Frontier will Retire the CRU on that Beneficiary’s behalf and include the Beneficiary’s name in the Registry, if permitted. Frontier will Retire and record the CRU in the applicable Registry in accordance with and subject to the rules of that Registry.

(b) Frontier may not be able to, or may not be permitted to, Retire and record partial CRUs (i.e., partial tons) with a Registry. Frontier may combine partial CRUs and record them in Frontier’s name.

(c) If Frontier Retires a CRU on your behalf or on behalf of a Beneficiary, Frontier will notify you of the Retirement via the Climate API, the Dashboard, or, if applicable, by other means you elect in the Dashboard, and deliver a certificate to you evidencing Retirement. Certificates will be digital.

(d) In the event Frontier does not receive sufficient CRUs to fulfill all orders for Retirement Services, Frontier reserves the right, in its sole discretion: (i) to allocate CRUs among Purchasers; or (ii) refund the Fees.

(e) If Frontier determines that it is unable to Retire a CRU in your name or in the Beneficiary’s name on or prior to the last day of the Retirement Year of the CRU, Frontier will notify you and, in its sole discretion: (i) may refund the applicable Fees; (ii) may transfer title to the CRU to you; (iii) may record the Retirement of the CRU in Frontier’s name and provide certification to you that Frontier completed the Retirement in Frontier’s name; or (iv) take other reasonable remedial measures. Neither Frontier nor Stripe will pay you any interest on Fees, and Frontier will have no further obligation to you regarding that Retirement and the associated CRU(s) nor any other obligation to complete any additional Retirements. Frontier will not be liable to you for any other losses, damages, or costs that you or others may suffer arising out of or relating to Frontier’s inability to perform the Retirement Services or the associated CRU.

(f) If Frontier is unable to contact you, or is unable to provide a refund of Fees, for any reason (e.g., you have closed your Stripe Account), Frontier will contribute any amounts due to you to carbon removal programs of its choosing.

(g) Frontier will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure a CRU can be Retired on your behalf or on behalf of your designated Beneficiary. Frontier does not guarantee that Frontier will be able to Retire a CRU on behalf of a Beneficiary.

3.4 Beneficiaries.

You may designate a Beneficiary when you purchase Retirement Services. If permitted by the applicable Registry, Frontier will include the Beneficiary’s name when retiring CRUs. You are responsible for notifying a Beneficiary of a CRU’s Retirement. Frontier will not notify a Beneficiary of a CRU’s Retirement. These Stripe Climate Orders Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties to these Stripe Climate Orders Terms. Frontier has no obligation to any Beneficiary under these Stripe Climate Orders Terms. When you designate a Beneficiary, you will not provide Frontier with a Beneficiary’s Personal Data.

3.5 Power of Attorney.

To the extent necessary, you grant to Frontier a power of attorney to act on your behalf or on behalf of a Beneficiary to provide Stripe Climate Orders. You represent as of the Effective Date and warrant during the Term that you have secured the necessary rights and consents from the applicable Beneficiaries to enable Frontier to act on behalf of the applicable Beneficiaries.
