Stripe Issuing: Spend Card Program Platform Company Agreement — United States

Last Updated: Sep 28, 2021

Welcome to Stripe Issuing.

The Stripe Issuing Spend Card is a business charge card issued under the Stripe Issuing Spend Card Program (as further defined below, the "Program") and pursuant to this Stripe Issuing Spend Card Program Agreement ("Agreement") among you, Stripe, and Issuer. The Stripe Issuing Spend Card is issued by the Issuer, and the Program is managed by Stripe, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Stripe").

1. Introduction

As used in this Agreement, "we", "us" or "our" refers to Stripe and Issuer, and "you" and "your" refers to the entity that has applied and qualified for receiving the Stripe Issuing services described in this Agreement as the Program Services and established a Company Account and one or more Card Account(s) through its relationship with a Platform Provider. This Program is provided in connection with other products and services offered to you by Stripe pursuant to the Stripe Services Agreement between Stripe and you (the "Stripe Services Agreement"). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined (either in-line or by hyperlink) have the same meaning as in the Stripe Services Agreement. By accepting this Agreement or using Program Services, you consent to electronic communications as provided for in the E-SIGN Disclosure. Subject to this Agreement, you may authorize employees and other persons to use Cards to make business-purpose Transactions on your behalf (each, an "Authorized User"). You must appoint a person to manage your participation in the Program (an "Administrator"), including managing how Authorized Users may use Stripe Issuing Spend Cards.

This Agreement is organized into several sections: - Sections 2 and 3 govern Company Account opening and your use of the Stripe Issuing Spend Card Program. - Section 4 governs Authorized Users' use of Stripe Issuing Spend Cards. You must ensure your Authorized Users accept and comply with the terms of Section 4 and the Stripe Spend Card Authorized User Terms posted on our website (the "Authorized User Terms"). - Sections 5 through 11 are general terms governing your use of the Program. Sections 5 through 11 apply both to you and to your Authorized Users. You are responsible and liable for you and your Authorized Users' compliance with Sections 5 through 11. - Section 12 provides definitions of the capitalized terms used throughout this Agreement.

The Authorized User Terms restate certain provisions of this Agreement that govern Authorized Users' use of Stripe Issuing Spend Cards. The Authorized User Terms are provided to you and your Authorized Users as a convenience to you and do not establish a contract or other legal relationship between us and your Authorized Users or otherwise change or limit your responsibility and liability for your Authorized Users.

2. Opening a Company Account.

2.1 Registration. By applying for and establishing a Company Account, you and the person creating your Company Account (your "Representative") represent and warrant that you are a commercial enterprise or bona fide charitable organization, and you agree that your Company Account and all Cards will be used for business purposes only. You must provide information identifying your company and its Principal Owners, and other information we may require, when opening your Company Account, and you agree to keep this information current. You acknowledge that Stripe may share this information with the Issuer. You represent, warrant, and agree that you are not currently, and that you will not become, subject to a U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control ("OFAC") list or any Law or other government agency list that prohibits or limits us from providing Cards to you or your Authorized Users or from otherwise conducting business with you. Until you have submitted, and we have reviewed and approved, all required information, your Company Account will be available to you on a preliminary basis only, and we may terminate it at any time and for any reason.

2.2 Business Representative. You and your Representative individually affirm to Stripe that (i) your Representative is authorized to provide the information described in this Section 2 on your behalf and to bind you to this Agreement and (ii) your Representative is an executive officer, senior manager or otherwise has significant responsibility for the control, management or direction of your business. We may require you or your Representative to provide additional information or documentation demonstrating your Representative's authority. Without the express written consent of Stripe, neither you nor your Representative may register or attempt to register for a Company Account on behalf of a user that Stripe previously terminated from use of the Program. Solely if you are a sole proprietor, you and your Representative also affirm that your Representative is personally responsible and liable for your use of the Program.

2.3 Information about Your Asset Account. In order to allow us to determine and monitor your qualification to maintain your Company Account and your Available Spend, you agree to open and maintain an account with Stripe or an Affiliate for purposes of holding funds to support the credit extended in connection with this Program (the "Asset Account"). The Asset Account will be maintained at a financial institution designated by Stripe. By entering into this Agreement, you agree to give us the ability to view and verify the balance of your Asset Account linked to your Company Account at any time. You agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, complete, and current information about your Asset Account and to notify us of any change to it.

2.4 Validation. At any time during the term of this Agreement and your use of the Program, we may require additional information from you to verify your Principal Owners or control of the business, validate information you provided, verify you or your Representative's identity, and assess the risk associated with your business. This additional information may include business invoices, copies of government-issued identification, business licenses, or other information related to your business, your Representative, your Principal Owners or your principals. Your failure to provide this information or material may result in suspension of termination of your Company Account. You authorize us to retrieve information about you from our service providers and other third parties, including credit reporting agencies and information bureaus, and you authorize and direct such service providers and other third parties to compile and provide such information to us. You acknowledge that this may include your name, addresses, credit history, and other data about you, your Representatives, your Principal Owners or your principals. You acknowledge that we may use your information to verify any other information you provide to us, and that any information we collect may affect our assessment of your overall risk to our business. You acknowledge that, in some cases, such information may lead to suspension or termination of your Company Account. Stripe may periodically update this information as part of our underwriting criteria and risk analysis procedures.

2.5 Changes to Your Business, Keeping your Account Current. You agree to keep the information in your Company Account current. You must promptly update your Company Account with any changes affecting you, the nature of your business activities, your Representatives, your Principal Owners, your principals, or any other pertinent information. We may suspend your Company Account or terminate this Agreement if you fail to keep this information current. Your Platform Provider will be responsible for promptly forwarding all information received from you under this Section to Stripe.

3. Participating in, Using, and Managing the Program

3.1 Administrators, Authorized Users, Documentation. As part of the Program, Stripe will establish a commercial card account with Issuer on your behalf, containing sub-accounts for each Card issued to you and provided to your Authorized Users. Each Card is issued by Issuer, under a license from the applicable Card Network. Each Company must appoint an Administrator to administer its use of the Program, which will include managing how Authorized Users use Cards. You are responsible for notifying your Administrator and Authorized Users of their authority and obligations under this Agreement and Authorized User Terms, ensuring that all Authorized Users accept the Authorized User Terms prior to activation and use of any Card, and ensuring that the Administrator and each Authorized User comply with the terms of this Agreement and the Authorized User Terms. You are solely responsible for any actions Administrators take on your behalf. We make resources and documentation available to you on the Program through the current versions of Stripe's support pages, Stripe API documentation, and other pages found at https://stripe.com/docs (collectively, "Documentation").

3.2 Stripe API and Platform Dashboard. Stripe has developed and provides access to the Stripe API that may be used to access the Program, either directly or through a Platform Provider. As a Platform Customer, you may access the Program through your Platform Provider's dashboard ("Platform Dashboard"), which will allow you to use the Program, manage your Company Account, and enable additional features, all as further described in this Agreement. As a Platform Customer, you generally will not connect directly to the Stripe API; rather, your Platform Provider will connect to the Stripe API.

3.3 Restricted Businesses and Activities. You may not access or use the Program to facilitate illegal Transactions or to permit others to access or use the Program for personal, family or household purposes. You may not access or use the Program to enable any person (including you) to benefit from any activities Stripe has identified as a restricted business or activity or we may inform you that Issuer has identified as a restricted business or activity (collectively, "Restricted Businesses"). Restricted Businesses include use of the Program in or for the benefit of a country, organization, entity, or person embargoed or blocked by any government, including those on sanctions lists identified by OFAC. In addition, you may not allow, and may not allow others to: (a) access or attempt to access non-public Stripe systems, programs, data, or services; (b) copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, resell, or distribute in any way, any data, content, or any part of the Program, Documentation, or our website except as expressly permitted by Laws; (c) act as service bureau or pass-through agent for the Program with no added value to customers; (d) transfer any rights granted to you under this Agreement; (e) work around any of the technical limitations of the Program or enable functionality that is disabled or prohibited; (f) reverse engineer or attempt to reverse engineer the Program except as expressly permitted by Laws; (g) perform or attempt to perform any actions that would interfere with the normal operation of the Program or affect use of the Program by our other users; or (h) impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the Program.

3.4 Compliance with Law. You must engage in the Program in a lawful manner and comply with all applicable Laws, which may include compliance with domestic and international Laws related to the use or provision of financial services, notification and consumer protection, unfair competition, privacy, and false advertising, and any other Laws.

3.5 Cards and Card Accounts.

(a) Generally. All Cards issued to you and provided to your Authorized Users and all corresponding Card Accounts are linked to your Company Account. Subject to this Agreement, Authorized Users may use Cards to make Charges on your behalf. When you request a Card, a separate Card Account is created for the Card and the Card is linked to the Card Account created in conjunction with the issuance of the Card. When your Authorized Users make a Charge and we approve it, Issuer will extend credit to you to fund the Charge, and you agree you will repay Issuer for the Charge in accordance with this Agreement. You acknowledge that Charges access your line of credit; they do not result in a corresponding debit to your Asset Account.

(b) Card Orders.

(i) Generally. You must submit to your Platform Provider an initial Card order request via the Platform Dashboard, and the Platform Provider will be responsible for submitting the Card order to Stripe on your behalf. Stripe will procure Cards based upon information contained in the Card order request. At your, or if applicable, your Platform Provider's cost and expense, Stripe will (A) procure and ship Cards to the address specified in the order request, (B) re-distribute replacements of Cards reported as lost, stolen, or damaged, and (C) provide Program materials.

(ii) Card Designs. To the extent applicable to your use of the Program Services, card designs, including logos, artwork, and written disclosures for physical cards, must be submitted through your Platform Provider for review and approval prior to distribution. Upon receipt of your submission from your Platform Provider, if applicable, Stripe will review the submission for consistency with this Agreement, the Card Network Rules (including Card Network branding guidelines), Law and reputational considerations (collectively, the "Design Requirements"). In the event that Stripe cannot approve a proposed card design, Stripe will provide guidance to you or your Platform Provider on modifications necessary to comply with the Design Requirements. Please see the applicable Card Network's website for further information.

3.6 Limits and Available Spend.

(a) Generally. You may not make any Charge that would cause you to exceed or violate any of the limits set forth in this Section 3.6. Except as otherwise indicated in this Section, you may view these limits through the Platform Dashboard.

(b) Total Spending Limit. When you open your Company Account, we will establish a "Total Spending Limit" for your Company Account, which will be the maximum aggregate amount available for Charges on your Company Account across all Cards and Card Accounts. Your initial Total Spending Limit will be based on the amount of assets in your Asset Account. We may increase or decrease your Total Spending Limit at any time, in our sole discretion, based on your Company Account and Transaction history, Asset Account, and related risk and credit considerations. Your Platform Provider will be responsible for making available your Total Spending Limit through the Platform Dashboard.

(c) Card Spending Limits and Daily Spending Limits. We or your Administrator may set, and adjust from time to time, a Card Spending Limit or a Daily Spending Limit for any Card under your Company Account.

(d) Available Spend. The aggregate amount available for Charges on Cards under your Company Account at any given time (the "Available Spend") will be the lesser of: (i) the amount of assets in your Asset Account, as determined by us in our sole discretion, minus the amount of any outstanding unpaid balance and holds on Cards under your Company Account; or (ii) the Total Spending Limit. In addition, the amount available for Charges on a particular Card will be subject to the Card Spending Limit and/or Daily Spending Limit (if any) for that Card.

3.7 Other Limits. We may establish limits on the types of merchants with which Authorized Users may make Charges. Administrators also may establish these limits. Further, we may restrict the maximum amount of any particular Charge and the number of Charges allowed for your Company Account and/or Cards. We reserve the right to (i) decline to authorize any Charges that would cause you to exceed any applicable limit, (ii) decline to authorize Charges at merchants characterized by the Card Network or us as prohibited or restricted merchants, and/or (iii) decline to authorize Charges, reverse Charges, and/or suspend Cards for any other reason, including for violation of this Agreement, suspected fraud, or creditworthiness or Network Rules. 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. We further reserve the right to place a hold on a Card for any Charge. Where a hold is placed on a Card, the amount of the hold will reduce the Available Spend until the hold is released. We further reserve the right to prevent Cards from functioning outside of the United States.

3.8 International Use. In the event that Cards are used to make international Charges, Issuer will convert into U.S. Dollar the Charges made in a currency other than U.S. Dollar. We or the applicable Network will select exchange rates from a range of exchange rates available on the date the Charges are cleared over the applicable Card Network; therefore, the exchange rate of the Charge may vary from the exchange rate at the time of the Transaction.

3.9 Payment Terms.

(a) Account Statements. Your Transaction History and Account Statements will be available to you on the Dashboard if agreed by your Platform Provider.

(b) Amounts Due. You are responsible for any amounts owed on your Company Account. On each Business Day, if applicable, you must pay the total outstanding balance on your Company Account, which will include any amounts due for Charges made with your Cards and any fees, penalties, finance charges, and other amounts incurred through use of your Cards or posted to your Company Account (collectively, the "Amounts Due"). The Amounts Due include all Charges made by any person, regardless of whether a Card is physically presented for a Charge. You will pay us the Amounts Due, regardless of how they were incurred, for what they were incurred (including if they were incurred for a purpose not permitted under this Agreement), or who has incurred them, unless otherwise agreed with your Platform Provider. The Amounts Due and date on which the Amounts Due must be paid will be reflected on the Account Statement made available to you through the Dashboard, if such Dashboard is provided by your Platform Provider. You agree to pay the Amounts Due in U.S. Dollars no later than the stated payment date.

(c) Method of Payment. You may pay the Amounts Due from any financial account (including your Asset Account). We will give you the option of authorizing us to debit automatically the Amounts Due from your Asset Account on each Business Day. If you would like to pay Amounts Due from an alternate payment source, please contact your Platform Provider. Unless you contact your Platform Provider and establish an arrangement to use an alternate payment source in advance, you hereby authorize us to initiate a debit from your Asset Account to pay the Amounts Due on each Business Day and we will automatically debit the Amounts Due from your Asset Account on each such Business Day. If we are unable to successfully debit the Asset Account, or if we are notified that the Asset Account has insufficient funds to complete the debit, you hereby direct us to re-attempt to debit the Asset Account up to two additional times. You agree that we will have no liability if we cannot successfully debit the Asset Account or if the Asset Account has insufficient funds when we attempt (or re-attempt) to debit it. If we cannot successfully debit the Asset Account, or if the Asset Account has insufficient funds, you authorize us to debit any other Asset Account connected to your Company Account or other accounts held by you with Stripe, setoff funds you owe us from any future deposits to the Asset Account to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, or take any action described in this Agreement or the Stripe Services Agreement. The exact time we debit the Asset Account for the Amounts Due may vary. If we are unable to successfully debit any of the foregoing accounts and fully satisfy Amounts Due when owed, we may suspend your ability to make any further Charges on any Cards in our sole discretion. Furthermore, you may be assessed returned payment fees related to any insufficient funds transaction.

3.10 Fees and Penalties. Stripe will provide the Program at the rates and for the fees described on the Pricing Page, unless your Platform Provider has established and disclosed different rates or fees to you. In addition to the fees, you are also responsible for any penalties imposed on you or Stripe in relation to your Company Account or your Authorized Users' Card Accounts. Fees and penalties may include periodic fees, foreign transaction fees, penalties for misuse, funds transfer fees, account maintenance fees, Card issuance or replacement, and penalties for late or failed payments. All fees or penalties you owe are in addition to amounts owed for Charges on Cards and Card Accounts associated with your Company Account. We may change fees or penalties by providing your Platform Provider with advance notice before the changes, and your Platform Provider will be responsible for notifying you of the changes before they become applicable to you.

3.11 Reporting Errors or Disputing Charges. If you have a dispute with the product or service that is the subject of a Charge, you should contact the merchant or seller of that product or service to resolve the dispute. If a Charge is not appropriately addressed with the merchant or seller, then you may submit a chargeback of the Charge by contacting your Platform Provider and your Platform Provider will be responsible for submitting the chargeback through Stripe. You understand that we are subject to the Card Network Rules regarding chargebacks and may not be able to successfully chargeback the Charge. If you believe a Charge was unauthorized, or if you believe the Account Statement contains any errors, please contact your Platform Provider immediately. Your Platform Provider will be responsible for reporting any Disputed Charge or error to Stripe no more than 60 days after the Disputed Charge posted to your Company Account. Notices for Disputed Charges must specify your details, details about the Authorized User, details about the Disputed Charge and Transaction, and an explanation of your belief that the Disputed Charge was made in error or was unauthorized, and you will be responsible for providing all required information to your Platform Provider. We will review the information submitted by your Platform Provider in a commercially reasonable manner. To avoid late fees and sustained reduction to your Available Spend, you should pay the Disputed Charge while we determine the validity of the dispute. If the dispute is deemed valid, we will credit the Disputed Charge amount back to your Company Account. By accepting this Agreement, you assign and transfer to Issuer any rights and claims, excluding tort claims, that you may have against any merchant for any Disputed Charge fully or partially credited to your Company Account.

3.12 Card Security and Responsibility for Charges. You and your Authorized Users are responsible for securing Cards, Card Account numbers and Card security features (including the CVV and PIN). You are responsible for Charges, fees and penalties resulting from any Authorized User's failure to exercise reasonable care in safeguarding Cards from loss or theft, failure to promptly report loss or theft, and for all other Transactions on Cards issued to you. If you or an Authorized User uses or allows someone else to use the Card or Card Account for any other purpose, you will be responsible for such use and may be required to reimburse us and the Card Network for all amounts or expenses paid by such entities as a result of such use. You understand that it is your responsibility to monitor any suspicious or unauthorized activities on your Company Account and each Card and Card Account. You agree to notify your Platform Provider immediately of any loss, theft or unauthorized use of your Company Account or any Card or Card Account, and your Platform Provider will be responsible for notifying Stripe of the same immediately following your Platform Provider's receipt of notice from you. You understand that you are liable for the unauthorized use of your Company Account and all Cards and Card Accounts associated with your Company Account to the fullest extent permitted by Law. You are liable for all Transactions on your Company Account, unless: (a) the Transaction is successfully disputed through the Card Network transaction dispute process; or (b) an unauthorized Transaction occurs after Stripe has been successfully notified by your Platform Provider that the applicable Card has been lost, stolen or compromised. You will be liable to Stripe for any fees, charges, costs, amounts, expenses or other Losses that result from your or your Authorized Users' actions or inactions.

3.13 Default; Failure to Pay; Collections. We may determine that your Company Account is in default and declare your total outstanding unpaid balance immediately due and payable on demand if: (a) you breach any provision of this Agreement, the Stripe Services Agreement or any other agreement that you have with Stripe; (b) you pose an unacceptable regulatory, reputational, or financial risk to us as determined by us; or (c) you do, or we believe you may, cease to exist or experience any event contemplated by Section 2.5. If we or your Platform Provider determine that your Company Account is, or is likely to be, in default, we may take any action we deem necessary, including decreasing your Total Spending Limit, adjusting your Card Spending Limit and/or Daily Spending Limits, ceasing to authorize Charges, refusing to issue new Cards, and/or deeming all amounts you owe immediately due. Subject to Law, you agree that we have the right to set-off or recoup any amount you owe on your Company Account and any Cards and Card Accounts associated with your Company Account or any claim we have related to this Agreement against or from your Asset Account. You also agree Stripe may exercise its rights under this Agreement against any Stripe Accounts you maintain with Stripe under the Stripe Services Agreement or other Stripe agreements, including, without limitation, by authorizing us to debit or setoff funds you owe us from any amounts processed by us under the terms of the Stripe Services Agreement. You will pay any legal fees we incur and all other reasonable costs we incur while collecting amounts owed by you under this Agreement.

3.14 Closing Your Account. We may refuse to authorize any Charge or may close or suspend your Company Account or any Card at any time if we believe, in our sole discretion, that you or your Company Account present an unacceptable level of financial, reputational or regulatory risk, or we have been directed to do so by the Issuer. We may condition the reactivation of your Company Account or Cards upon payment of amounts owed or the establishment or replenishment of assets in your Asset Account. We may require you to provide financial and other information we deem necessary, including any information we need to comply with legal or regulatory requirements and our internal policies and procedures. If we do, you agree to provide the information to us. You may close your Company Account or any Card by providing notice to your Platform Provider through the Platform Dashboard. You must pay all amounts owed under this Agreement prior to such closure.

3.15 Authorized User Servicing.

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, you and your Platform Provider will be responsible for handling all inquiries regarding: (i) Card usage, (ii) lost, damaged or stolen Cards, and (iii) all other inquiries from Authorized Users. You agree to handle such inquiries in accordance with all Law, including state and federal standards prohibiting unfair or deceptive acts or practices, and all program, compliance, reporting, and other guidelines and requirements established by us from time to time in connection with the Program. Unless otherwise agreed by Stripe, you and your Platform Provider may not outsource your obligations under this Section to any third party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, you agree to indemnify Stripe and Issuer for any claims brought by an Authorized User or other party due to your handling of inquiries.

(b) Complaint Handling. You shall direct your Authorized Users to submit Complaints regarding the Program to you or to your Platform Provider. You or your Platform Provider must forward Complaints regarding the Program to issuing-complaints@stripe.com. All Complaints must be submitted to issuing-complaints@stripe.com within three (3) days of your receipt. Complaints will be addressed consistent with Stripe's Complaint handling guidelines. (Complaints or feedback about the Program from your employees may be handled by you directly and do not need to be sent to issuing-complaints@stripe.com.)

3.16 Rewards Program

Your Platform Provider may decide to offer a Rewards Program in connection with Card Accounts associated with the Program. If offered, the terms and conditions of the Rewards Program will be found via linked terms here, and are incorporated herein by reference, or shall otherwise be posted on your Platform Provider's website.

3.17 Compliance with this Agreement

You are responsible for ensuring that your employees and other representatives comply with the terms of this Agreement and requirements of the Program.

4. Terms for Your Authorized Users

4.1 Authorized User Terms. Your use of Stripe Issuing is subject to you ensuring that all of your Authorized Users accept and comply with the Authorized User Terms. You are responsible to Stripe and Issuer for your Authorized User's compliance with the Authorized User Terms.

4.2 Using Cards. Authorized Users may only use Cards for bona fide business purchases and for valid and lawful purposes. Authorized Users may not use Cards for personal, family or household purposes. All Cards remain the property of the Issuer and must be returned upon request. Issuer may cancel, revoke, repossess or restrict the use of the Cards at any time. We may decline to authorize or reverse Charges or suspend Cards for any reason, including for violation of this Agreement, suspected fraud, or creditworthiness. 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.

4.3 Card Account Holds. When an Authorized User uses a 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 the Card Account for an amount equal to or in excess of the final Transaction amount. We also may place a hold on available funds in the Card Account for certain other Transactions. When a hold is placed on the Card Account, the amount of the hold will reduce the Available Spend until the hold is released.

4.4 Card Security. Authorized Users are responsible for securing Cards, Card Account numbers and Card security features (including the CVV and PIN).

4.5 Prohibited Persons. Each Authorized User must represent and agree it is not, at the time of Card activation, and will not become, subject to an OFAC list, or any Law, regulation, or other list of any government agency that prohibits or limits us from providing Card Accounts or Cards to the Authorized User or from otherwise conducting business with the Authorized User.

5. Data Protection and Security.

5.1 Data Protection. You represent, warrant, and agree that you are and will continue to be compliant with all applicable Laws governing the privacy, protection, security, confidentiality, and use of data that you provide to us or access or use in connection with the Program. You further represent, warrant, and agree that you have obtained and will maintain all necessary rights and consents under applicable Law to provide to us, and to allow us to collect, use, retain, and disclose, any Personal Data that you provide to us or authorize us to collect, including data that we may collect directly from Authorized Users. You are solely responsible for disclosing to Authorized Users that we may receive Personal Data from you. Additionally, where required by applicable Law or the Card Network Rules, we may delete or disconnect an Authorized User's Personal Data from your Company Account when requested to do so by the Authorized User. If we become aware of an unauthorized acquisition, disclosure or loss of Personal Data on our systems, we will notify you consistent with our obligations under Law and provide you with sufficient information regarding the unauthorized acquisition, disclosure or loss to help you mitigate any negative impact on the Authorized User.

5.2 Program Data. You agree that Program Data belongs to us, and you may not use it for any purpose unrelated to your use of your Company Account, Card Accounts, Cards, Statements, and Charges without our express written consent. You may not disclose Program Data to others except in connection with processing Transactions and consistent with Laws and Card Network Rules.

5.3 Use of Data by Us. Stripe processes, analyzes, manages, and discloses Data to: (a) provide the Program to you and other users; (b) mitigate fraud, financial loss, or other harm to you, other users and Stripe, (c) fulfill our obligations to regulatory authorities and Issuer; and (d) analyze, develop and improve our products, systems and tools. Stripe provides Data to third parties, including Issuer, Platform Providers, and Card Printers, and their respective Affiliates, as well as to Stripe's Affiliates, to allow us to provide the Program to you and other users. We do not provide Personal Data to unaffiliated parties for marketing their products to you. You understand and consent to Stripe's access to and use and disclosure of Data for the purposes and in a manner consistent with this Section 5.3. We will only use and disclose Account Data and Personal Data as required to provide the Program to you and Authorized Users and/or to fulfill our obligations to regulatory authorities and/or as otherwise permitted by the Stripe Privacy Policy. Issuer will use, care for, and disclose Data in the manner described in the Celtic Bank Privacy Policy. Protection of Data is very important to us. The Stripe Privacy Policy and the Celtic Bank Privacy Policy explain how and for what purposes we collect, use, retain, disclose, and safeguard Data provided to us in connection with the Program. You agree to review the terms of these policies, which we may update from time to time, and which form part of this Agreement.

5.4 Stripe's Security. We will maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical procedures to protect Account Data and Personal Data stored in our servers from unauthorized access, accidental loss, modification, or breach, and we will comply with applicable Laws and Card Network Rules when we handle Account Data and Personal Data. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or misuse any Account Data and/or Personal Data in our possession. You provide Account Data and Personal Data to Stripe with the understanding that any security measures we provide may not be appropriate or adequate for your business, and you agree to implement Security Controls (as defined below) and any additional controls that meet your specific requirements. In our sole discretion, we may take any action, including suspension of your Company Account and related Card Accounts and Cards, to maintain the integrity and security of the Program or Data, or to prevent harm to you, us, Authorized Users, or others. You waive any right to make a claim against us for losses you incur that may result from such actions.

5.5 Your Security. You are solely responsible for the security of any Data that is on your website or your servers, that is in your possession, or that you are otherwise authorized to access or handle. You will comply with Law and Card Network Rules and the standards and other requirements of the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (the "PCI Requirements") when accessing, handling or otherwise maintaining Data, and will provide evidence of your compliance to us or your Platform Provider upon our request. If you do not provide evidence of such compliance to our satisfaction, we may suspend your Company Account or terminate this Agreement. You are responsible for assessing the security requirements of your business, and selecting and implementing security procedures and controls ("Security Controls") appropriate to mitigate your exposure to security incidents. We may provide Security Controls as part of the Program, or suggest that you implement specific Security Controls. However, your responsibility for securing your business is not diminished by any Security Controls that we provide or suggest, and if you believe that the Security Controls we provide are insufficient, then you must separately implement additional controls that meet your requirements. You may review some of the details of our Security Controls on our website.

5.6 Virtual Cards. Virtual Card details should be accessed from the Platform Dashboard only. If Virtual Card information is exported from the Platform Dashboard, you must securely store details in an encrypted manner. Unauthorized transactions on Virtual Cards may not have dispute rights in certain circumstances.

5.7 Right to Audit. In the event of a security incident which may impact Program Data, you agree to provide information and assistance as reasonably requested by Stripe, Issuer or regulatory authority.

6. Use of Trademarks & Marketing Guidelines.

6.1 Ownership. All intellectual property embodied in the Program and all Program Services offered by Stripe in connection with this Agreement, through your Platform Provider or otherwise, shall constitute Stripe IP and, as between you and Stripe, shall be owned and licensed by Stripe as provided in the Stripe Services Agreement.

6.2 Use of Marks. If you choose to place your design, name, logo and other service marks ("User Marks") on the Cards or other materials related to the Program, you represent and warrant that you have, and agree that during the term of this Agreement you will retain, all right, title, and interest in and to the User Marks necessary for you to use the User Marks as you propose. You hereby grant to us, and any third party we engage to provide Card printing services ("Card Printer"), a fully paid-up, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use the User Marks on Cards and any Program materials during the term of this Agreement. Your use of Stripe Marks in connection with the Program is subject to the terms of the Stripe Services Agreement. In the event that you seek to use your Platform Provider's User Marks on your Cards, you make the same representations, warranties, and agreements under this Section with respect to your right, title, and interest in and to such User Marks, and you will promptly provide further evidence of such rights if requested by Stripe.
