These Network International Financial Services Terms ("Network International Terms") are additional terms applicable to the Payment Processing Services for Visa and Mastercard products for which Network International, LLC ("Network International"), is a Payment Method Acquirer ("VM Payment Processing Services"). In these Network International Terms, Visa and Mastercard may be referred to individually as a "Network" and collectively as the "Networks." Any terms used but not defined in these Network International Terms will have the meaning provided in the Stripe Services Agreement ("Agreement").

These Network International Terms constitute a legal tripartite agreement among you, Stripe, and Network International. The legal agreement is formed by Stripe and Network International's offer of these terms to you, your acceptance of these terms, and Stripe and Network International's subsequent provision of the VM Payment Processing Services to you. You understand that Stripe or Network International may enforce any provisions of these Network International Terms or the Agreement that relate to your use of the VM Payment Processing Services. Stripe or Network International may also terminate these Network International Terms at any time at its individual sole discretion without the requirement of obtaining a court order in this regard, which may limit or terminate your ability to use the VM Payment Processing Services. Further, either Network may, at any time for any reason, terminate these Network International Terms with respect to the VM Payment Processing Services for its products.

You must accept all of the terms and conditions of these Network International Terms to use the VM Payment Processing Services. If you do not accept them, you may not use the VM Payment Processing Services.

1. Purpose of these Network International Terms

When you process Visa or Mastercard Transactions through a particular Payment Method Acquirer, applicable Network Rules require that you enter into a direct contractual relationship with the Payment Method Acquirer. These Network International Terms constitute your direct contractual relationship with Network International, which is a member of the Networks, and as provided in Section C.1 of the Agreement, a Payment Method Acquirer for Visa and Mastercard Transactions. However, by using the VM Payment Processing Services you are not establishing a depository or other account with Network International.

Network International is not responsible for the provision of any Services or your use of any Services for your business. Network International is also not responsible for providing customer service to you to resolve any issues you may have related to your use of the VM Payment Processing Services; however, as described in Section 13, you may contact Network International in the event that you are unable to resolve any complaints directly with Stripe. You are solely responsible for providing support to your Customers for all issues related to your products and services.

2. Compliance with Network Rules

Where you use the VM Payment Processing Services to accept Charges from payment cards, you will comply with the Network Rules and limitations on use identified in the Agreement, including the Network Rules applicable to acceptance of Visa and Mastercard branded payment cards. These include guidelines, monitoring programs, and activity reporting (including excessive credits, chargebacks, or deposits). Under the Network Rules, certain activity may subject you to chargebacks, fees, fines, settlement delays, withholdings, audits of your processing activity, or termination of these Network International Terms. Without limiting the foregoing, you specifically agree to:

a. Only submit Transactions authorized by the cardholder;

b. Only accept payment for the sale of products or services, and receipt of bona fide donations, and not for any Restricted Business;

c. Submit a Transaction for the full amount owed by the Customer for the Transaction except where you and the Customer agree on a partial shipment (such as receiving a portion of an order), or where the Transaction qualifies for delayed delivery or special order deposits (such as paying for a deposit on a custom-built product);

d. Not establish minimum or maximum amounts (except as permitted by the Network Rules), or condition Charges for use of payment cards, and not discourage the use of one payment card brand over another;

e. Not impose surcharges or taxes (except where permitted by Law) and, where so done, you will only collect such amounts as part of the submitted Charge;

f. Only use Networks' logos or marks in a manner permitted by the Network Rules;

g. Prohibit use of payment cards for disbursement of cash (except as permitted by the Network Rules and by Network International);

h. Comply with the security obligations identified in the Agreement, including compliance with PCI-DSS and PCI PA-DSS (Payment Application Data Security Standard), as applicable, only use cardholder data as permitted, and certify such compliance upon request, and not permit or promote fraudulent use of payment cards or cardholder data;

i. Audits and inspection of you and your Charge and Transaction activity by the Networks and Network International, which may include either or both of a desktop review and one or more on-site visits;

j. Make clear to Customers that they are transacting with you prior to, during, and after the Transaction, including providing clear statement descriptors;

k. Use all reasonable methods to resolve disputes with your Customers, including those resulting in a chargeback, and not attempt to recharge a Customer for the Transaction unless authorized by the Customer; and

l. Provide clear refund and exchange language that is consistent with Laws and the Network Rules.

3. Authorization for Handling of Funds

Network International receives funds from the Networks for your Charges ("Settlement Funds"), and Network International is responsible for disbursement of your Settlement Funds in accordance with these Network International Terms and your instructions or instructions issued by your agent on your behalf. You agree to designate and authorize Stripe as your agent to initiate holds, receipts, and disbursements of Settlement Funds, and to instruct Network International as to how, when, and to whom disbursements of Settlement Funds should be made. You agree that Network International's obligations to settle funds to you are satisfied upon transfer of the Settlement Funds to you (or to any applicable recipient that you have instructed Stripe to make a disbursement to on your behalf) per your explicit request and authorization through Stripe as your agent. Network International may periodically make information available to you through Stripe regarding anticipated funds settlement from the Networks. This settlement information does not constitute or give rise to a deposit or other obligation owed by Stripe or Network International to you. Any settlement information communicated to you is for reporting and informational purposes only.

Settlement Funds will be held in pooled merchant funds accounts pending disbursement of the funds to you (or to any applicable recipient that you have instructed Stripe to make a disbursement to on your behalf) in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, including these Network International Terms. You agree that you are not entitled to any interest or other compensation associated with the Settlement Funds held by Network International, have no right to directly instruct Network International to distribute Settlement Funds, and may not assign any interest in any Settlement Funds held at or by Network International. You agree that you are not entitled to access, and have no ownership or other rights in, the Settlement Funds prior to such funds being credited to your Payout Account (or to the account of any applicable recipient that you have instructed Stripe to make a distribution to on your behalf).

Any authorizations set forth in these Network International Terms will remain in full force and effect until your Stripe Account is closed or terminated.

4. Sharing of Data

a. You authorize Stripe to provide any Data, including User Data or Payment Data, to Network International, the Networks, to credit reference agencies, fraud and AML screening agencies and other relevant governmental bodies to (i) provide the services described in these Network International Terms to you, (ii) comply with legal and regulatory obligations, and (iii) perform underwriting and risk review, including verification that you are legally permitted to transact and receive funds. Where required to comply with legal, payment network, or regulatory obligations, Network International may provide any Data to law enforcement, payment networks, or regulators (as the case may be).

b. You agree that you will not (i) use the Payment Data for any purpose other than to support the VM Payment Processing Services, (ii) use the Payment Data for any purpose that you know or should know to be fraudulent or in violation of any Network Rules, (iii) sell, purchase, provide or exchange in any manner or disclose Payment Data to anyone other than Network International or the Networks (as applicable), or to a government authority in response to a valid government request. Further, you agree that you will at all times comply with the PCI Standards with respect to Payment Data and will indemnify and hold Network International harmless for any violation or breach of the PCI Standards, including, any fines, fees or assessments by any Networks imposed upon you, Network International, or Stripe.

5. Right to Amend; Term and Termination

a. Network International has the right to change or add to these Network International Terms at any time. Stripe will provide you with Notice of any changes in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Your use of the VM Payment Processing Services, API, or Data after a change has taken effect constitutes your acceptance of the terms of the modified Network International Terms.

b. These Network International Terms are effective contemporaneously with the Agreement and will continue so long as you use the VM Payment Processing Services. These Network International Terms will terminate automatically upon termination of the Agreement, except for those terms which are intended to survive termination.
