What this means for you

This change affects how users access supporting documentation referenced in Stripe's Terms of Service. Previously, users could navigate directly from the main terms to translated versions and a policy changelog by clicking embedded links. The updated terms retain mentions of these resources but no longer provide direct hyperlinks. Users seeking translated versions or policy change history will need to locate these documents through other means, such as Stripe's main website or support resources.
