Conditions de paiement Stripe :

About our terms and conditions

Welcome to Stripe. We developed this payment service (the “Stripe Service” or the “Service”) to make it easy for you to accept credit and debit card payments online from your customers so you can focus on your own product or service.

We have tried to draft these Merchant Terms of Service in a clear and simple manner. Unfortunately, the realities of the legal world make it a very difficult task. So, should you have any questions or concerns or would simply like to better understand how we do things at Stripe, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Below is a quick description of the main sections of this Agreement, but there are important details in the whole document, so you should read it.

The Stripe Service

We provide you with software and a service to process your online credit and debit card payments; we will respect and protect your privacy, data and personal information. You run your business, service your customers, protect your customers’ data, report & pay taxes, and observe all laws, rules, and regulations. Complete details

Registering for Stripe

You provide us with basic information about your organisation; we will seek to verify your information (we may work with third parties to do so) and approve your service account unless deemed risky (by us or our payment processors). You give us permission to do all this, and to periodically update the information; otherwise we must decline to offer you the service. Complete details

Receiving your Funds from Card Transactions

We pay you for your transactions (minus our fees), at a schedule communicated to you once your service account is approved. A certain amount of your funds may be subject to an additional hold period (e.g. Reserve Account) with terms determined by your perceived risk and transaction history. You are responsible for refunds, returns, and liable for customer disputes (chargebacks). Complete details

Termination and Other Legal Terms

We can terminate this Agreement for any reason on two months’ notice and immediately in certain circumstances (such as where you breach this Agreement). You can terminate at any time effective immediately. Termination does not alter your liability for processed payments or related chargebacks. This section also includes all the extra legal stuff they make us add (e.g. indemnification, warranties, assignment). Complete details

Stripe Terms of Service

These Terms and Conditions constitute a legal agreement (“Agreement”) between the sole proprietor or business entity or business organisation listed as the “Merchant” on the Service registration page (sometimes referred to as “you,” “your”, “user”) and Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. (“Stripe”), and Valitor hf (the “Designated Bank,” and collectively with Stripe referred to as “we,” “our” or “us”). You may request a copy of this Agreement, and the other terms or documents incorporated in it by reference, at any time during the term of this Agreement.

Section A: The Stripe Service

1. Our Role

   Our Service helps you accept and process credit card, debit card and other types of card payments (collectively “cards” or “Cards”, each a “card” or “Card”) from your customers (each, a “customer” or a “Cardholder”) in exchange for your products and services. We do not assume any liability for the products or services purchased using our Service. You will be required to register for a service account to use Stripe (see Registering for Stripe). This “Stripe account” allows you to review card transactions that are in process of settling from a Card Network (as defined in Section A2 below) and us to your designated settlement bank account. In providing our Service, we will be acting as a technical service provider to the payment service provider, the Designated Bank, which will be providing payment services under this Agreement.

2. Our Software

   We provide the Stripe application programming interfaces (collectively, “API”) and other software to enable you to use the Service. We reserve the right to require you to install or update any and all software to continue using the Service. Our Service also includes software to help you manage recurring and subscription billing charges for your products and services. It is your responsibility to obtain your customers’ consent to be billed on a recurring basis in compliance with applicable legal requirements and Network Rules (as defined in Section A14 below) established by Visa Europe Ltd, (“Visa”), MasterCard Europe S.A. (“MasterCard”), Discover, American Express or other applicable card networks (collectively, the “Card Networks”).

3. Authorisation for Handling of Funds; Power of Attorney

   By accepting this Agreement, you authorise us or a bank that we designate to hold, receive, and disburse funds on your behalf when such funds from your card transactions settle from the Card Networks. You further authorise Stripe to instruct the Designated Bank in the way your card transaction settlement funds should be disbursed to you (such as by BACS, CHAPs or SEPA) and the timing of such disbursements. You also authorise the Designated Bank to hold settlement funds in a deposit account on trust on your behalf pending disbursement of the funds to you in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

   You hereby grant a limited power of attorney to us strictly for the sole and exclusive purpose (and no other purpose) of invoicing, collecting and disbursing all payments due to you in connection with the Service, and preparing, executing, endorsing and delivering in your name all instruments or other documents that we may consider necessary or advisable in order to render the Service and to carry out this Agreement. This limited power of attorney shall take effect from the date that you first enter into this Agreement and shall be revoked without notice or otherwise automatically cease to have effect at the termination of this Agreement. Thus, prior to accepting any Cards, Stripe will establish an account (“Settlement Account”) through which Settlements in accordance with this Agreement are settled. Any payment made by Designated Bank to the Settlement Account shall be deemed as a full and final payment by Designated Bank to you. Should you decide to withdraw this limited power of attorney, such a withdrawal does not become effective towards Designated Bank until Designated Bank has demonstrably confirmed having received such a written and signed withdrawal.

   You agree you are not entitled to any interest associated with the settlement funds held in the deposit account by us pending settlement to your specified bank Settlement Account and you may not assign any interest in those funds or the deposit account. From time to time, we may make available to you information in the management dashboard area of the Stripe Service regarding anticipated settlement amounts that have been received on your behalf from the Card Networks and are being held pending settlement. This settlement information does not constitute a deposit or other obligation of Stripe or the Designated Bank. This settlement information reflected in the Stripe management dashboard is for reporting and informational purposes only, such funds are to be credited to your specified bank Settlement Account in accordance with the Payout Schedule (as defined in Section C3 below) and subject to the other terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, regarding deductions for Fees (Section C9), the Reserve Account (Section C11) and Chargebacks, Reversals and Claims (each such term as defined in Section D6 below)). Your authorisations set forth herein will remain in full force and effect until your Stripe account is closed or terminated as provided in Section D.

4. Payment Methods

   The Service supports most issued cards with a Card Network logo including credit, debit, pre-paid, or gift cards. We will only process card transactions that have been authorised by the applicable Card Network or card issuer. You are solely responsible for verifying the identity of users and the eligibility of each presented payment card used to purchase your products and services, we do not guarantee or assume any liability for transactions authorised and completed which may later be reversed or charged back (see Chargebacks in Section C6 below). You are solely responsible for all reversed or charged back transactions, regardless of the reason for, or timing of, the reversal or chargeback. Please see Section C7 below regarding your right to contest Chargebacks. Stripe may add or remove one or more types of cards as a supported payment card subject to Section D11 below.

5. Customer Service

   Stripe will provide you with customer service to help resolve any issues relating to your use of Stripe, your card payment processing and use of our software, and the distribution of funds to your specified bank Settlement Account. You, and you alone, are responsible for providing service to your customers for any and all issues related to your products and services, including but not limited to issues arising from the processing of customers’ cards through the Service.

6. Taxes

   It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the sale of your goods and services and/or the payments you receive in connection with your use of the Service (“Taxes”). It is solely your responsibility to assess, collect, report, or remit the correct tax to the proper tax authority. We are not obligated to, nor will we determine whether Taxes apply, or calculate, collect, report, or remit any Taxes to any tax authority arising from any transaction. You acknowledge that we may make certain reports to tax authorities regarding transactions that we process and merchants to which we provide card payment services. We reserve the right to report to relevant revenue or taxing authorities regarding payment card transactions processed by Stripe on your behalf, to the extent we are required to do so by applicable law.

7. Security

   In accordance with applicable data protection laws, Stripe maintains appropriate administrative, technical, organisational and physical procedures to protect all the personal information regarding you and your customers that is stored in our servers from unauthorised or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction or damage.

8. Data Security

   You are fully responsible for the security of data on your website or otherwise in your possession. You agree to comply with all applicable state and federal laws and rules in connection with your collection, security and dissemination of any personal, financial, Card, or transaction information (defined as “Data”) on your website. You agree that at all times you shall be compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) and the Payment Application Data Security Standards (PA-DSS), as applicable. The steps you will need to take to comply with PCI-DSS and PA-DSS when using Stripe will vary based on your implementation. For more information about implementing Stripe, please refer to our Documentation. If we believe it is necessary based on your implementation and request it of you, you will promptly provide us with documentation evidencing your compliance with PCI DSS and/or PA DSS if requested by us. You also agree that you will use only PCI compliant service providers in connection with the storage, or transmission of Card Data defined as a Cardholder’s account number, expiration date, and CVV2. You must not store CVV2 data at any time. Information on the PCI DSS can be found on the PCI Council’s website. It is your responsibility to comply with these standards.

9. Audit Right

   If we believe that a security breach or compromise of data has occurred, we may require you to have a third party auditor that is approved by us conduct a security audit of your systems and facilities and issue a report to be provided to Stripe, the Designated Bank, and/or the Card Networks and you shall be required to remedy any defects identified within a reasonable period or a timeframe given by the Card Network.

10. Your Privacy

    Your privacy and the protection of your data are very important to us. You acknowledge that you have received, read in full and agree with the terms of our Privacy Policy linked to and incorporated into this Agreement by reference, which contains your consent to our collection, use, retention and disclosure of personal information as well as other matters set forth therein and which explains how and for what purposes we collect, use, retain, disclose and safeguard the information you provide to us. You also acknowledge that we are required to report your business name and the name of your principals to the MATCH listing maintained by MasterCard and accessed and updated by American Express, VMAS database upheld by Visa or to the Consortium Merchant Negative File maintained by Discover, if applicable, pursuant to the requirements of the Network Rules (as defined in Section A14 below). During the course of this Agreement we reserve the right to place any terminated merchant in a terminated merchant file established by the Card Networks for termination with due cause. You specifically consent to the fulfillment of the obligations related to the listing by us and to the listing itself and you waive and hold harmless us from all claims and liabilities you may have as a result of such reporting.

    Stripe will at all times comply with the provisions of applicable data protection law. If Stripe processes any personal data on your behalf when performing its obligations under this Agreement, Stripe and you both agree that it is our intention that you shall be the data controller and we shall be the data processor in relation to that data. We shall process the personal data only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any lawful instructions reasonably given by you to us from time to time and not for any other purpose. This will include having appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data that is processed. As data processor Stripe is entitled to appoint sub-processors for parts of its processing of personal data, provided however, that the sub-processor assumes the same obligations as are imposed on Stripe as data processor.

    We will notify you (within a reasonable time frame) if we receive a request from a person to have access to that person’s personal data, a complaint or request relating to your obligations under applicable data protection legislation, or any other communication relating directly to the processing of any personal data in connection with this Agreement.

    Stripe will provide you with reasonable co-operation and assistance in relation to any complaint or request made in respect of any personal data processed by us on your behalf, including by providing you with details of the complaint or request, complying with any data subject access, rectification or deletion requests (within the relevant timescales set out in applicable data protection legislation) and providing you with any personal data we hold in relation to a person making a complaint or request (again, within a reasonable timescale).

    You acknowledge that Stripe is reliant on you for direction as to the extent to which we are entitled to use and process the personal data you provide us with. Consequently, we will not be liable for any claim brought by a data subject arising from any action or omission by us, to the extent that such action or omission resulted from your instructions.

As between you and Stripe, you are solely responsible for disclosing to your customers that Stripe is processing credit card transactions for you and obtaining Data from such customers. Stripe has certified that it adheres to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles agreed upon by the U.S. and the E.U.

It is your obligation to disclose to your customers that Cardholder Data may be transferred, processed and stored outside of EU member states and, as set forth in our Privacy Policy, may be subject to disclosure as required by applicable law.

    If you receive information about others, including Cardholders, through the use of the Service, you must keep such information confidential and only use it in connection with the Service. You may not disclose or distribute any such information to a third party or use any such information for marketing purposes unless you receive the express consent of the user to do so. You may not disclose card numbers to any third party, other than in connection with processing a card transaction requested by your customer under the Service.

You will comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of governments having jurisdiction in connection with your use of the Service.

Section C: Processing Card Transactions and Receiving Your Funds

1. Processing Card Transactions

   You agree that you will accept all eligible cards presented for payment by your customers for your goods and services in accordance with the Network Rules, this Agreement and any operating guides that we may provide you from time to time. You agree that you will obtain an authorisation from the Card Network(s) for each card transaction, as required under the Network Rules, and will not submit a card transaction for settlement where there is a negative authorisation or the card is otherwise expired. You acknowledge that the existence of an affirmative authorisation from us or the Card Networks does not mean that a particular card transaction will not be subject to Chargeback, Reversal or Claim (each such term as defined in Section D6 below) at a later date.

   You will not impose an excessive fee or surcharge on a customer that seeks to use an eligible payment card. If you impose a fee or surcharge it must be limited to reflect your costs for the use of such payment card. If you levy an additional charge or offer a reduction in cost to your customers for using a particular eligible payment card this information must be advised to your customer before the start of the payment transaction. You will provide a receipt to the customer at the conclusion of the purchase transaction that includes all information required under Network Rules and applicable law.

   You will submit all card transactions for processing no later than three (3) days from the date of authorisation. You will maintain appropriate records of all card transactions for a period of at least five (5) years from the date of the transaction.

   You will display all Card Network marks in accordance with the applicable Network Rules, and will use such marks only to indicate that you accept their cards for payment.

2. Payouts and Transaction History; Multi-Currency Processing

   We will direct settlement funds received from the Card Networks to your specified bank Settlement Account in the amounts actually received (less our Fees and certain other amounts as defined below) for card transactions submitted to our Service. The payouts will be made to the bank account (“Bank Account”) details you provide for in your Stripe account. The Bank Account must be an account located at a bank in the Designated Country (defined in Section B4) and held in your business name. You are responsible for the accuracy and correctness of information you supply regarding your Bank Account. Funds for any given transaction will not be transferred to your Bank Account until the transaction is deemed complete. Transactions will be deemed complete when the Designated Bank has received funds from the relevant Card Network and when the Designated Bank has transferred such funds to the Settlement Account. The actual timing of the transfers to your Bank Account of the settlement funds will be subject to the Payout Schedule as defined below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that all credits for funds provided to you are provisional and subject to reversal including without limitation if there are adjustments for inaccuracies and errors (including rejects) and Chargebacks, Reversals or Claims in accordance with this Agreement and the Network Rules, whether or not a transaction is charged back by the issuer of the Card or the Cardholder. Accordingly, you authorise us to initiate reversal or adjustment (debit or credit) entries to the Bank Account and to initiate or suspend such entries in accordance with this Agreement as may be necessary to grant or reverse fund payouts for any transaction.

   After each payout of card settlement funds to your Bank Account, we will update information in your Stripe management dashboard to reflect settlement. Information regarding your card transactions processed and settled with the Service (“Transaction History”) will be available to you when you login to our website using your Stripe account credentials. We provide a minimum of one year of Transaction History on our website. Except as required by law, you are solely responsible for compiling and retaining permanent records of all transactions and other data associated with your Transaction History and your use of the Service.

   We may offer you the ability to have funds settled to your Bank Account in a currency different from the one in which you accepted payment from a customer (“Multi-Currency Processing”). To use this service, you must provide us with a valid Bank Account for each currency for which you request settlement, based on our list of available settlement currencies. We may add or remove currencies from our list of available settlement currencies at any time. If you use Multi-Currency Processing, we will identify at the time of charge (for example, through our API response), the conversion rate that will apply to the charge. If you refund a charge, the conversion rate that will apply will be the rate in effect at the time of the refund, not the charge. By submitting a charge or refund for processing you will be deemed to have accepted the rate. You may choose not to use the Multi-Currency Processing service at any time. You may also change the bank account information or other settings associated with your use of Multi-Currency Processing, but any such changes will only affect subsequent charges.

3. Payout Schedule

   Payout schedule refers to the time it takes to initiate a transfer to your Bank Account of settlement funds arising from card transactions processed through the Service (“Payout Schedule”). Once your Bank Account information has been verified, a transfer of settlement funds (net of Fees, Chargebacks, Reversals, Claims and other funds owed to us for any reason) will be initiated in accordance with the Payout Schedule, the terms of which will be made available to you when you login to our website using your Stripe account credentials. The settlement funds shall be credited to your Bank Account by the end of the business day following the last day of the Payout Schedule. We are not responsible for any action taken by the institution holding your Bank Account that may result in some or all of the funds not being credited to your Bank Account or not being made available to you in your Bank Account. You can contact Stripe to inquire about changing the timing of your Payout Schedule. Upon submitting a request, you will be informed of the process and requirements for Stripe to review your Payout Schedule.

   We reserve the right to change the Payout Schedule or suspend payouts to your Bank Account should we determine it is necessary due to pending disputes, excessive or anticipated excessive Chargebacks or refunds, or other suspicious activity associated with your use of the Service or if required by Card Networks, law or court order. If we do this we will notify you by email as soon as possible and include the reasons for doing so unless it is unlawful for us to so notify you.

   Your opening of a Stripe account and thereby agreeing to be bound by this Agreement and the Payout Schedule shall be deemed as your consent to the execution of the necessary payment orders to transfer settlement funds to your Bank Account in accordance with this Agreement and such payment orders are deemed received on the day agreed for the execution of such payment orders in accordance with this Agreement and the Payout Schedule.

4. Reconciliations and Errors

   Your Transaction History will be available to you when you login to your Stripe account on our website. Except as required by law, you are solely responsible for reconciling your Transaction History with your actual card payment transactions. You agree to notify Stripe using Stripe’s contact details set out above of any discrepancies arising from such reconciliation and verification without undue delay and no later than 6 months after the date of the transaction. We will investigate any reported discrepancies and attempt to rectify any errors that you or we discover. If the Designated Bank has failed to transmit the payment order in accordance with Section C1, the Designated Bank will immediately re-transmit the payment order. In the event you are owed money as a result of the discrepancy, the Designated Bank will transfer funds to your Bank Account in the next scheduled payout.

   If you submit or cause the Designated Bank to process transactions erroneously, you agree to contact us immediately. We will investigate any reported errors and attempt to rectify any errors that you or we discover by crediting or debiting your Bank Account as appropriate. We will only attempt to correct transactions that you process incorrectly if you notify us of such an error without undue delay and no later than 6 months after the date of the error.

5. Refunds and Returns

   By accepting these terms of service, you agree to submit any and all refunds and adjustments for returns of your products and services through the Stripe Service to the Cardholder’s card in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Network Rules. Network Rules require that you will (i) maintain a fair return, cancellation or adjustment policy; (ii) disclose your return or cancellation policy to customers at the time of purchase, (iii) not give cash refunds to a customer in connection with a Card sale, unless required by law, and (iv) not accept cash or any other item of value for preparing a Card sale refund.

   Full refunds must be for the exact amount of the original transaction including tax, handling charges, and other. The refund amount may not exceed the original sale amount except by an amount equal to any reimbursements to customer for postage costs incurred for product returns. Refunds processed through the Stripe Service must be submitted within sixty (60) days of the original transaction but in all cases, within three (3) days of approving the Cardholder refund.

   For processed refunds, the Designated Bank will deduct the refund amount (including any applicable Fees) from (i) settlement funds owed to you from processing of other card transactions, or (ii) funds in any Reserve Account (as defined in Section C11 below). If these funds are not sufficient, you authorise Stripe to forward a debit entry issued by you in the amount necessary to complete the refund transaction to the Cardholder’s card, to each of the banks maintaining the Bank Account and the Settlement Account. In the event Stripe cannot access your Bank Account by means of a direct debit, you agree to pay all funds owed to Stripe upon demand. You are solely responsible for accepting and processing returns of your products and services; we have no responsibility or obligation for processing such returns.

6. Chargebacks

   A Chargeback (defined below in Section D6) is typically caused when a customer disputes a charge that appears on their statement. A Chargeback may result in the reversal of a transaction, with the amount charged back to you. You can be assessed Chargebacks for: (i) customer disputes, (ii) unauthorised or improperly authorised transactions, (iii) transactions that do not comply with Network Rules or the terms of this Agreement or are allegedly unlawful or suspicious, or (iv) any reversals for any reason by the Card Network, the Designated Bank, or the Cardholder’s card issuing financial institution.

   When a Chargeback is issued, you are immediately liable to the Designated Bank for the full amount of payment of the Chargeback plus any associated Fees, fines, expenses or penalties (including those assessed by the Card Networks or Designated Bank). You agree that the Designated Bank may, and authorise the Designated Bank to, recover these amounts by debiting your Bank Account associated with your Stripe account by direct debit, debiting your Settlement Account, debiting your Reserve Account, or setting off any amounts owed to you by us. If the Designated Bank is unable to recover funds related to a Chargeback for which you are liable, you will pay the Designated Bank the full amount of the Chargeback immediately upon our demand. You agree to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation legal fees and other legal expenses, incurred by or on behalf of us in connection with the collection of any unpaid Chargebacks unpaid by you.

   Further, if we reasonably believe that a Chargeback is likely with respect to any transaction, the Designated Bank may withhold the amount of the potential Chargeback from payments otherwise due to you under this Agreement until such time that: (a) a Chargeback is assessed due to a customer’s complaint, in which case the Designated Bank will retain the funds; (b) the period of time under applicable law or regulation by which the customer may dispute the transaction has expired; or (c) we determine that a Chargeback on the transaction will not occur.

7. Contesting your Chargebacks

   You or the Designated Bank may elect to contest Chargebacks assessed to your Bank Account. We may provide you with assistance including notifications and software to help contest your Chargebacks. We do not assume any liability for our role or assistance in contesting Chargebacks.

   You agree to provide us with the necessary information, in a timely manner and at your expense, to investigate or help resolve any Chargeback. You also grant us permission to share records or other information required with the Cardholder, the Cardholder’s card issuing financial institution, and the financial institution where you have your Bank Account to help resolve any disputes. You acknowledge that your failure to provide us with complete and accurate information in a timely manner may result in an irreversible Chargeback being assessed.

   If the Cardholder’s issuing financial institution or the relevant Card Network does not resolve a dispute in your favour, we may recover the Chargeback amount and any associated fees from you as described in this Agreement.

   We reserve the right, upon notice to you, to charge a fee for mediating or investigating Chargeback disputes.

8. Excessive Chargebacks

   At any point, Stripe, Designated Bank or the Card Networks may determine that you are incurring excessive Chargebacks. Excessive Chargebacks may result in additional fees, penalties, or fines. Excessive Chargebacks may also result in additional controls and restrictions to your use of the Stripe Service, including without limitation, (i) changes to the terms of your Reserve Account, (ii) increases to your applicable Fees, (iii) delays in your Payout Schedule, or (iv) possible suspension or termination of your Stripe account and the Service. The Card Networks may also place additional controls or restrictions as part of their own monitoring programs for merchants with excessive Chargebacks.

9. Stripe Fees

   You agree to pay the fees (“Fees”) assessed by us to you for providing the Service described in this Agreement. These fees will be calculated pursuant to the Fee Schedule linked to and incorporated into this Agreement by reference. We reserve the right to revise our Fees at any time, subject to a two months’ notice period to you. You are also obligated to pay all taxes and other charges imposed by any governmental authority, including without limitation any goods or services tax (including VAT), on the Service provided under this Agreement. If you are tax-exempt, you will provide us with an appropriate certificate or other evidence of tax exemption that is satisfactory to us.

   You acknowledge that you are also responsible for any penalties or fines imposed on Stripe or directly to you by any Card Network or financial institution as a result of your activities.

10. Our Collection Rights

    To the extent permitted by law, we may collect any obligations you owe us under this Agreement by deducting the corresponding amounts from the Reserve Account or from funds payable to you arising from the settlement of card transactions. Fees will be assessed at the time a transaction is processed and will be first deducted from the settlement funds received for such transactions. If the settlement amounts or Reserve Account are not sufficient to meet your obligations to us, we may charge or debit the Bank Account registered in your Stripe account for any amounts owed to us. Your failure to fully pay amounts that you owe us on demand will be a material breach of this Agreement. You will be liable for our costs associated with collection in addition to the amount owed, including without limitation legal fees and expenses, costs of any arbitration or court proceeding, collection agency fees, and any applicable interest.

    Additionally, we may require a personal guarantee from a principal of a business for funds owed under this Agreement. If we require a personal guarantee we will specifically inform you.

11. Reserves

    Funds held in reserves are amounts of money set aside by the Designated Bank in an account maintained by us to cover Chargebacks, refunds, or other payment obligations under this Agreement (a “Reserve Account”). We, in our sole discretion, will set the terms of the Reserve Account and notify you of such terms, which may require that a certain amount (including the full amount) of the settlement funds received for card transactions we process for you is held for a period of time or that additional amounts are held in Reserve Account. We, in our sole discretion, may elect to change the terms of the Reserve Account at any time for any reason based on your payment processing history or as decided by Designated Bank.

    We may fund the Reserve Account by means of: (i) any settlement funds payouts made or due to you for card transactions submitted to the Service, or (ii) amounts available in your Bank Account by means of a debit to that Bank Account, or (iv) other sources of funds associated with your Stripe account; or (iv) requesting that you provide funds to us for deposit to the Reserve Account. You agree you are not entitled to any interest on the funds held in the Reserve Account, that you have no right to direct that account and that you may not assign any interest in those funds or that account.

12. Security Interest

    You grant Stripe and Designated Bank a lien and security interest in the Bank Account and all funds on deposit therein regardless of the source of such funds, any rights you may have in respect of funds on deposit in the Reserve Account regardless of the source of such funds, all Card transactions (including future Card transactions), any rights to receive credits or payments under this Agreement, and all funds, deposits and other property of yours possessed or maintained by us on your behalf. These security interests and liens (and hypothecs) will secure payment and performance of all of your obligations under this Agreement and any other agreements now existing or later entered into between us and you including without limitation your obligation to pay any amounts due and owing to us. You will execute, deliver, and pay the fees for any documents we request to create, perfect, maintain and enforce this security interest.

13. Pre-Authorised Debits.

    You agree to complete and return the attached direct debit mandate(s) to authorise Stripe and/or the Designated Bank to initiate debit and credit entries to the Bank Account in accordance with this Agreement. You hereby waive the right to receive advance notice from Stripe and/or the Designated Bank of any and all such debits. You agree not to terminate or cancel the direct debit mandate until all of your obligations to us have been paid in full. If you change the Bank Account, you shall promptly provide the Designated Bank with a new direct debit mandate completed in respect of the new account and you shall provide us in writing such other information regarding the new account as we deem necessary. Such new account shall thereafter be and become the “Bank Account” for the purpose of this Agreement. It may take us up to ten (10) business days after receipt of a written notice from you to reflect in our system any change to the Bank Account. If you change the Bank Account, you agree that you are responsible for all costs incurred by us in connection with your decision to change the Bank Account.

6. Your Liability

   You are responsible for all Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fines, Fees, penalties and other liability arising out of or relating to your breach of this Agreement, and/or your use of the Service. You agree to reimburse your customer, Stripe, Designated Bank and any third party designated by Stripe or Designated Bank for any and all such liability. “Chargeback” means a request that a buyer customer files directly with his or her card company or card issuing financial institution to invalidate a processed payment. “Claim” means a challenge to a payment that you or a buyer customer files directly with us. “Reversal” means the Designated Bank reverses the settlement of funds from a processed card transaction that you received because (a) the card transaction is invalidated by the card issuer, (b) the settlement funds were sent to you in error by (i) the Designated Bank; (ii) processors, suppliers or licensors of the Designated Bank; or (iii) any of the respective affiliates, agents, directors and employees of any of the entities listed in (i) or (ii) above, (c) the sender of the payment did not have authorisation to send the payment (for example: the buyer used a card that did not belong to the buyer), (d) you received the payment for activities that violated this Agreement, or (e) we decided a Claim against you.

   We will have the final decision-making authority with respect to Claims, including without limitation claims for refunds for purchased items that are filed with the Designated Bank by you or your customers. You will be required to reimburse the Designated Bank for your liability. Your liability will include the full purchase price of the item plus the original shipping cost (and in some cases you may not receive the item back). You will not receive a refund of any Fees paid to us.

   Without limiting the foregoing, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Stripe, the Designated Bank, and each of our respective employees and agents (collectively “Disclaiming Entities”) from and against any claim, suit, demand, loss, liability, damage, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to (i) your breach of any provision of this Agreement, and/or (ii) your use of the Service, including without limitation any Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fines, fees, penalties and attorneys fees; (iii) your, or your employee’s or agent’s, negligence or willful misconduct; or (iv) third party indemnity obligations we incur as a direct or indirect result of your acts or omissions (including indemnification of any Card Network or card issuer) or (v) any claim resulting from our processing of your customer’s personal data on your behalf.

   If you are liable for any amounts owed to Stripe, the Designated Bank may immediately remove such amounts from your Reserve Account and deduct the amounts owed to Stripe from such Reserve Account funds. If you do not have sufficient funds in the Reserve Account to cover your liability, you will be required to immediately add additional funds to your Reserve Account to cover funds owed to Stripe. If you do not do so, Stripe may engage in collections efforts to recover such amounts from you at your cost and expense.

   THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SECTION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY ON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER BASIS.

    Any Dispute shall be finally resolved by arbitration under the LCIA Rules by a sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with the said Rules. It is agreed that the seat of the arbitration shall be Dublin and the language of the arbitration shall be English.

    Headings are included for convenience only, and shall not be considered in interpreting this Agreement. The Agreement does not limit any rights that we may have under trade secret, copyright, patent or other laws.

No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.

11. Right to Amend

    We have the right to change or add to the terms of this Agreement, and to change, delete, discontinue, or impose conditions on any feature or aspect of the Service or software with two months’ prior notice, including such notice on our website or any other website maintained or owned by us for the purposes of providing services in terms of this Agreement. You will be deemed to have accepted the changes unless you notify us to the contrary in writing to Stripe’s email address as set out above before the proposed date of the change and any use of the Service or software after the notified date of proposed implementation of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as modified. You have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately and without charge before that date.

12. Assignment

You will include us on the list and matrix of creditors as filed with any insolvency, commercial or civil court, whether or not a claim may exist at the time of filing (any of the foregoing, a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”). Failure to do so will be cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and shall allow the pursuit of any other action available to us under applicable Network Rules or law. You also agree to promptly notify us of any adverse change in your financial condition, any planned or anticipated liquidation or substantial change in the basic nature of your business, any transfer or sale of 25% or more of your total assets or any change in the control or ownership of you or your parent entity.
