This provision restricts user reproduction or use of End User Services content and branding, with specific reference to trademarks, establishing that any use or reproduction beyond what law expressly allows constitutes a policy violation.
Under this clause, users may not reproduce any portion of the End User Services interface, content, or trademarks for any purpose not expressly authorized by applicable law. The carve-out for what law expressly allows preserves statutory rights such as fair use or fair dealing but does not extend to any broader personal or informational reproduction.

"You must not, and must not allow others to: Use or reproduce any part of the End User Services (including any trademarks presented in the End User Services), except as law expressly allows;— Excerpt from Stripe's Stripe Acceptable Use Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages trademark law under the Lanham Act in the United States and equivalent trademark statutes in other jurisdictions, as well as copyright law governing reproduction of service interfaces and content. The EU Trademark Regulation and UK Trade Marks Act 1994 apply to EU and UK users respectively. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. This restriction is standard in platform agreements and aligns with conventional intellectual property protection practice. The carve-out for what 'law expressly allows' preserves statutory fair use and fair dealing rights, which partially mitigates the restriction's breadth. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users benefit from fair dealing exceptions under copyright law and may have additional rights under national implementation of EU directives. The enforceability of restrictions on reproducing user interface elements may vary by jurisdiction depending on the copyrightability of those elements. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations that produce training materials, documentation, or support resources that reproduce Stripe End User Services interface elements should assess whether such use falls within statutory permissions or requires express authorization from Stripe. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Marketing and communications teams that incorporate Stripe branding or interface screenshots in materials should review this provision and confirm that any use falls within applicable trademark fair use or statutory permission frameworks.
