Stripe can directly reduce funds it holds or owes to the user to collect amounts owed, without requiring separate payment from the user.
Interpretive note: The excerpt appears to list only items (i) and (ii) of a potentially longer list of setoff sources. Additional sources, if present in the full agreement, are not captured here. The canonical claim reflects only what is explicitly quoted.
The updated terms establish new restrictions on how merchants may use Stripe Output Data, prohibiting its use for automated decision-making about customer relationships, credit or employment eligibility determinations, or training AI systems that substitute for Stripe's Services. Merchants using AI Agents to access Stripe Services are now explicitly liable for all actions initiated by those agents, as the terms state such actions are legally binding. Data breach notification obligations have been tightened: users must notify Stripe within 48 hours of becoming aware of a data incident affecting Stripe or its Affiliates, and must provide specific information about the type of data, affected individuals, and remediation status. You can review the specific restrictions on Stripe Output Data use in the updated Service Terms and adjust any automated processes or AI Agent integrations accordingly.
