Private Beta

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

As used in these Stripe Card Terms, "we", "us" or "our" refers to Stripe and Issuing Bank. Unless otherwise indicated, "you" and "your" refers to the entity that has applied and qualified for receiving the Stripe Card services described in this Card Agreement as the "Stripe Card Services" and established with us a Stripe Card Account and one or more Card Account(s).

These Terms restate certain provisions of the Stripe Card: Beta Test Terms of Service that govern your use of a Stripe Card. These Terms do not establish a contract or other legal relationship between you and us. The Stripe Card Services Agreement is the legal agreement governing your use of the Stripe Card, and the Stripe Card Accountholder is responsible for your compliance with the Stripe Card: Beta Test Terms of Service and these User Terms. We are providing these User Terms to you as a convenience to the Stripe Card Accountholder.

2. Your Card and Card Account. Your Card is issued and provided by Issuing Bank and is linked to an individual Card Account. Your individual Card Account is linked to your Stripe Card Accountholder's Stripe Card Account. Your Charges are billed to the Stripe Card 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 Stripe Card 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 Card. You may only use your Card for bona fide business purchases on behalf of the Stripe Card 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 Issuing Bank 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).

7. Data Privacy. Stripe processes, analyzes, and manages Data to: (a) provide the Stripe Card Services to Stripe Card Accountholders and Authorized Users; (b) mitigate fraud, financial loss, or other harm to Stripe Card Accountholders, Authorized Users, other holders of Card Accounts and Stripe, and (c) analyze, develop and improve our products, systems and tools. Stripe provides Data to third-party service providers, including Issuing Bank 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 Stripe Card Services. We do not provide Personal Data to unaffiliated parties for marketing their products. You understand and consent to Stripe's use of Data for the purposes and in a manner consistent with this Section 7. We will only use Personal Data as required to provide the Stripe Card Services, to fulfill our obligations to regulatory authorities, and in accordance with the Stripe Privacy Policy. Issuing Bank will use and care for Data in the manner described in the Celtic Bank Privacy Policy. Protection of Personal 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 Stripe Card Services. You agree to review the terms of these policies, which we may update from time to time, and which form part of these Terms.

9. Prohibited Persons. You represent and agree you are not currently and will not become subject to a U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control list, or any law, regulation, or other list of any government agency that prohibits or limits us from providing Card Accounts or Cards to you or from otherwise conducting business with you.
