The Stripe Issuing Spend Card is a business charge card issued under the Stripe Issuing: Spend Card Program (the “Program”). The Stripe Issuing Spend Card is issued by Celtic Bank, a Utah-chartered, Federal Deposit Insurance corporation-insured bank located in Salt Lake City, Utah (“Issuer”), and the Program is managed by Stripe, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Stripe”). These Authorized User Terms (“Terms”) apply to your use of the Stripe Issuing Spend Card. Capitalized terms used in these Terms, but not defined elsewhere, have the meaning assigned to such terms in Section 1.
As used in these Terms, “we”, “us” or “our” refers to Stripe and Issuer. Unless otherwise indicated, “you” and “your” refers to the person or persons authorized by an entity that participates in the Program (the “Program Accountholder”) to receive and use a Stripe Issuing Spend Card.
These Terms restate certain provisions of the Stripe Issuing: Acquiring Receivables Program Agreement that govern your use of a Stripe Issuing Spend Card. These Terms do not establish a contract or other legal relationship between you and us. The Stripe Issuing Acquiring Receivables Program Agreement is the legal agreement governing your use of the Stripe Issuing Spend Card, and the Program Accountholder is responsible for your compliance with the Stripe Issuing: Acquiring Receivables Program Agreement and these Terms. We are providing these Terms to you as a convenience to the Program Accountholder. You agree that we may provide you with electronic communications. |

2. Your Card and Card Account.
Your Card is issued and provided by Issuer and is linked to an individual Card Account. Your individual Card Account is linked to your Program Accountholder’s Program Account. Your Charges are billed to the Program Account. You are not directly liable to us for your Charges or other activity on your individual Card Account. Your Card must be activated prior to use. Your Program Accountholder’s Administrator will provide activation instructions to you. If you did not receive activation instructions for your Card, contact your Administrator. We or your Administrator may apply a Card Limit to your Card Account. Charges will reduce the Card Limit, and any Charges in excess of the Card Limit may be declined.
3. Account Opening.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT: To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires us to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies you when a Card Account is opened for you. What this means for you: In connection with opening your individual Card Account, we will ask you for your name, street address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We also may ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents from you.
4. Using Your Stripe Issuing Spend Card Spend Card.
You may only use your Card for bona fide business purchases on behalf of the Program Accountholder and for valid and lawful purposes. You may not use your Card for personal, family or household purposes. Your Card remains the property of the Issuer and must be returned upon request. We may cancel, revoke, repossess or restrict the use of your Card at any time. We may decline to authorize or reverse Charges or suspend your Card for any reason including violation of these Terms or suspected fraud. We also may decline to authorize Charges at merchants characterized by the Card Network or us as prohibited merchants. We are not responsible for losses resulting from declined or reversed Charges. Merchants typically accept all Card Network-branded Cards; however, we are not responsible and will have no liability if a merchant refuses to honor a Card or accept a Transaction.
5. Card Account Holds.
When you use your Card to initiate a Transaction at hotels, restaurants, gas stations, rental car companies, and certain other merchants where the amount of the final Transaction is unknown at the time of authorization, a hold may be placed on your Card Account for an amount equal to or in excess of the final Transaction amount. We or your Administrator also may place a hold on available funds in your Card Account for certain other Transactions. When a hold is placed on your Card Account, the amount of the hold will reduce the then-applicable Card Limits until the hold is released.
6. Card Security.
You are responsible for securing your Cards, account numbers and Card security features (including the CVV and PIN).

Stripe provides Data to third-party service providers, including Issuer and third-parties engaged for Card printing services, and their respective affiliates, as well as to Stripe’s affiliates, to allow us to provide the Program.
