This Stripe Connected Account Agreement (“Connected Account Agreement”) governs Connected Accounts’ use of Stripe Connect Services, and describes how Connected Accounts and their third-party platform provider(s) may use the Stripe Connect Services. This Connected Account Agreement forms a legal agreement between you or the entity you represent (“User”) and the applicable Stripe entity specified in Section 12 (Definitions) of the Stripe Services Agreement (“Stripe”). This Connected Account Agreement governs User’s rights and obligations when User’s Stripe Account is enrolled with a third-party platform provider using Stripe Connect Services (“Stripe Connect Platform”). The Stripe Services Agreement is incorporated into this Connected Account Agreement by this reference. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Connected Account Agreement have the same meanings given to them in the Stripe Services Agreement. To the extent that there is a conflict between the Stripe Services Agreement and this Connected Account Agreement related to User’s use of the Stripe Connect Services, this Connected Account Agreement will prevail.
1. User’s Stripe Account.
Stripe Connect Platforms can help User use the Services. A Stripe Connect Platform may help User to create User’s Stripe Account, or enroll User’s existing Stripe Account with the Stripe Connect Platform. A Stripe Connect Platform may conduct Activity on User’s behalf and act as a data controller to instruct Stripe to process User Data (as defined below), as long as it does so according to User’s Platform Provider Agreement. Activity may be submitted, initiated or performed through the Stripe Dashboard or through the Stripe API, and this includes the communication of information about Transactions (if applicable), as well as other features as described in the Documentation. A Stripe Connect Platform may restrict User’s ability to (a) terminate the Stripe Connect Platform’s access to User’s Stripe Account; and (b) view, access or activate certain Services. User should read User’s Platform Provider Agreement carefully to understand the nature of the Platform Services and the Activity that a Stripe Connect Platform may conduct on User’s behalf. Stripe is not a Stripe Connect Platform, and only provides the Services described in this Connected Account Agreement and the Stripe Services Agreement.
2. User’s Responsibilities.
User must ensure that all information User provides to Stripe directly or through a Stripe Connect Platform is accurate and complete. User is solely responsible for, and Stripe disclaims all liability for, the provision of goods and services sold to User’s Customers as part of User’s use of the Services, and any obligations User may owe to User’s Customers.
3. Stripe Dashboard.
Depending on how the Stripe Connect Platform has implemented the Stripe Connect Services, User may be able to directly manage User’s Stripe Account through the Stripe Dashboard. If User is able to access the Stripe Dashboard, User is responsible for all actions taken on User’s Stripe Account through the Stripe Dashboard. If User does not have access to the Stripe Dashboard, User must contact the Stripe Connect Platform if User needs support or have any questions relating to the Services, this Connected Account Agreement or the Stripe Services Agreement.
