    • Chargebacks, refunds, overpayments, payment errors, or other invalid payments ("Invalidated Payments").

    • Errors, negligence, misconduct, or fraud by you or your representatives.

    • Losses from failing to comply with these Terms.

Security and Compliance

  1. If your account experiences high volumes of chargebacks and refunds, you may be required to maintain a security reserve.

  2. Business accounts may be subject to different fees than personal accounts. You will be notified 30 days in advance of any fee changes.

  1. You must comply with all other terms and conditions in Stripe's Terms of Service, including Prohibited Items and Conduct policies.
