CONSUMER TERMS OF SERVICE

On this page:
 * Link Account Terms


WELCOME!

Effective on 16 January 2025


1. INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE

These Consumer Terms of Service ("Terms of Service" or "Terms") are a legal
agreement between us ( "us", "our", "we", or "Stripe") and you, the individual
who uses one or more of the products and services we offer for your personal use
under these Terms (referred to as "you" or "your"), which are Link, Financial
Connections, and Identity (each, a "Consumer Service"). The following Terms are
a legally binding agreement between you and us, and it describes the terms and
conditions applicable to your use of our Consumer Services. By using our
Consumer Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms, and any new features or
tools that are added will also be subject to these Terms. The Stripe entity with
which you are entering into these Terms depends on your location and can be
found here.

These general Terms apply to all of our Consumer Services that reference these
Terms. Businesses that are using our products and services for business purposes
("Business Users") are subject to the Stripe Services Agreement.


2. ADDITIONAL TERMS THAT APPLY TO YOU

The following additional policies and terms also apply when you access or use
the Consumer Services, all of which are incorporated by reference into these
Terms:

 * Arbitration Agreement. IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES, YOU AGREE TO
   OUR ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, WHICH REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU
   AND STRIPE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH ARBITRATION, PROHIBITS YOU FROM
   MAINTAINING OR PARTICIPATING IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO
   A  JURY TRIAL, AND LIMITS THE TIME IN WHICH A CLAIM MAY BE BROUGHT.

 * Link E-Sign Disclosure. You agree to the Link E-Sign Disclosure. It provides
   that we will communicate with you electronically. Your electronic agreement
   has the same effect as if you sign in ink, and you agree to receive notices
   through our Consumer Services.

 * Privacy Policy. You acknowledge the Privacy Policy. Stripe and the Business
   User are independent controllers of personal data collected in conjunction
   with the Consumer Services and will independently and separately determine
   the purposes and means of its processing of personal data.  We may transfer
   your personal data to countries other than your own country, including the
   United States. Please read the Privacy Policy carefully to understand how
   your information is collected, used, and shared in connection with these
   Consumer Services.  Learn more by reviewing Link's Privacy Center.

 * Product-Specific Terms. A Consumer Service may have specific terms that apply
   when you use that particular Consumer Service. These product-specific Terms
   are listed in the left-hand menu.

 * Acceptable Use Policy. Your use of a Consumer Service is subject to Stripe's
   Acceptable Use Policy.

We may revise these Terms or any additional policies and terms listed above from
time to time by giving you at least 30 days’ notice (the “Change Notice”).
However we may provide a shorter notice period if we reasonably consider the
matter to which the Change Notice relates does not disadvantage you or we
reasonably consider a shorter notice period (or no notice period) is necessary
for one of the following reasons:

 * to facilitate compliance with applicable law (including any change or
   anticipated change to applicable law); 

 * to reflect a decision or notice of a court, ombudsman, authority, enforcement
   body or regulator;

 * to ensure the security of any Consumer Service; 

 * to protect us from loss or damage (except loss or damage caused by Stripe’s
   negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct) or to protect you from loss or
   damage. 

We will post a Change Notice electronically online on the applicable Consumer
Services Page or via an email address associated with your account. You must
check these Terms for a Change Notice on a regular basis (at least every 30
days). The revised Terms will be effective on the date stated in the Change
Notice. By using a Consumer Service after any revisions become effective, you
agree to those changes. If you do not agree with any changes to the Terms, you
must stop using the Consumer Services. You should also close or delete your
account as described in the Link Account Terms. 


3. ELIGIBILITY

You may only enter into these Terms if you are over the age of majority and able
to enter into a legally binding contract in the country in which you reside.

You must not use the Consumer Services if you have previously been terminated or
suspended from using any of our services, including any Consumer Service. You
may not enter into the Terms or use any Consumer Service if you are the target
of government sanctions, such as those applied by the US Department of the
Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control, or any other national government.

You must be eligible for the particular Consumer Services to the extent they are
available in your country. If we present an incorrect country for you or you
move countries, then you must correct the country in your account or contact
support before using the Consumer Services again.


4. STRIPE'S ROLE

Any contract of sale made using the Consumer Services is directly between you
and the Business User. You, and not Stripe, are responsible for the purchases
you make using the Consumer Services. The Business User, and not Stripe, is
responsible for the goods or services that you may purchase from them using the
Consumer Services, including but not limited to delivery, quality of goods,
returns, accuracy, refunds, fraud, advertising, customer support, protection of
intellectual property rights, liability relating to the Business User's products
or services, or non-compliance with applicable law.

Your access to and use of the Consumer Services does not change your
relationship with the Business User, third party services or platforms or with
your bank or credit or debit card company.

Except as provided otherwise in these Terms, Stripe will not intervene in any
dispute between you and a Business User for any transactions using the Consumer
Services. If you find yourself in a dispute with a Business User or a third
party, we encourage you to contact the other party and try to resolve the
dispute. If you choose to contact Stripe's support team regarding a Business
User, you acknowledge that we may, but are not required to, forward information
about your issue, such as your email address and a summary of your issue to the
Business User with a request that they contact you directly to resolve your
concern. Except as provided otherwise in these Terms, Stripe will not make
judgments regarding factual disputes or legal issues or claims between you and
the Business User, and Stripe has no obligation to resolve any disputes between
you and the Business User. You release Stripe from any claims, demands, and
damages arising out of disputes relating to your use of the Consumer Services,
including those with other Business Users or parties, except to the extent
caused by Stripe’s negligence, fraud, or wilful misconduct.

We make no warranties with respect to the products, services or information
provided by Business Users, and we are not responsible or liable for claims,
including but not limited to: (a) product liability claims in respect of
Business User products; (b) claims that the offer or sale of Business User
products or services fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory
requirement; (c) claims respecting Business Users' products, services, or
practices arising under consumer protection or similar legislation; (d) any
inaccurate, incomplete or out of date information offered by a Business User;
(e) infringement of intellectual property rights by the Business User; or (f)
the acts or omissions of any third party platform where you may interact with or
purchase from.


5. IDENTIFICATION AND PREVENTION OF FRAUD

You agree that:

 * Information you provide about yourself and your use of the Consumer Services
   must be complete and accurate as of the time provided, and you must keep this
   information up-to-date;

 * To the extent law allows, we and our service providers may verify your
   identity, except as otherwise provided in product-specific terms. 

 * You must notify us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorised use or
   access to your account. You are responsible for any actions taken through the
   use of your credentials, except:
   
   *  for actions taken after you have told us that your account or credentials
     have been compromised;
     
   * to the extent caused by Stripe’s negligence, fraud, or wilful default.
     


6. COMMUNICATIONS VIA TEXT, PUSH NOTIFICATION, EMAIL, AND PHONE

To the extent allowable under law, by providing us with a phone number, you
consent to receiving text (SMS) messages, push notifications, and phone calls
from us. Such communications may include, but are not limited to, requests for
authentication, receipts, reminders, notifications regarding updates to your
account or account support, requests for product feedback, and marketing or
promotional communications. You acknowledge that you are not required to consent
to receive promotional texts or calls as a condition of using any Consumer
Service. Call and text message communications may be generated by automatic
telephone dialling systems. Standard message and data rates your mobile phone
provider applies may apply to the text messages we send you.

You may opt out of receiving promotional email communications we send to you by
following the unsubscribe options on such emails or by managing your
communications preferences in the app. You may opt out of text messages from
Stripe by replying STOP or by following instructions that you receive in the
text message. You may opt out of phone calls by notifying the caller or by
contacting support. You acknowledge that opting out of receiving communications
may impact your use of Consumer Services.


7. OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms. The Consumer
Services are protected by trademark, copyright, patent and other laws of the
United States and other countries. We own all rights, title, interest in and to
the Consumer Services and all copies of the Consumer Services, and all
Intellectual Property Rights in them. Your use of the Consumer Services is
subject to these Terms, and these Terms do not grant you any rights to our
Intellectual Property Rights or the Intellectual Property Rights of our
licensors, licensees, or partners.

For the purposes of these Terms, "Intellectual Property Rights" means all patent
rights, copyright rights, mask work rights, moral rights, rights of publicity,
trademark, trade dress and service mark rights, goodwill, trade secret rights,
and other intellectual property rights that may exist now or come into existence
in the future, and all of their applications, registrations, renewals and
extensions, under the laws of any state, country, territory or other
jurisdiction.


8. FEEDBACK

You may choose to submit feedback, ideas and suggestions about the Consumer
Services, but it is never required. You may provide us with feedback on the
Consumer Services by contacting support. You agree that we may use, integrate,
and share all feedback, ideas, and suggestions you submit for any purpose and
without compensation or obligation to you. You assign to us all rights, title
and interest to any feedback, ideas and suggestions, including the right to use,
modify and integrate them in any manner.


9. TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION

Termination by Us: We may terminate these Terms, and we may limit, suspend,
change, or remove your access to any or all Consumer Services, including any
feature or aspect of the Consumer Services (a “Relevant Action”) (i) at any time
upon 30 days’ notice; or (ii) with immediate effect if any event listed below
occurs:

 1. we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, or are likely to breach
    these Terms, and, where the circumstances leading to our belief are capable
    of being rectified, you have not rectified the circumstances to our
    reasonable satisfaction within 5 days of us providing you with reasonable
    details of the breach (or suspected breach); 
    
 2. we reasonably believe you have engaged in conduct that has caused, or is
    likely to cause, us to contravene applicable law or any rule of a payment
    network;
    
 3. we reasonably believe the Relevant Action is reasonably necessary to
    facilitate compliance with our obligations under applicable laws or any rule
    of a payment network;
    
 4. we reasonably believe you are acting (or have acted) in bad faith or with
    malicious intent in connection with these Terms or the Consumer Services; 
    
 5. we cease offering any part of a Consumer Service;
    
 6. we reasonably believe your actions have adversely affected, or are likely to
    adversely affect, the reliability, security, smooth operation and/or orderly
    functioning of the Consumer Services; or
    
 7. we reasonably believe the Relevant Action is required to protect us from
    loss or damage or to protect you from loss or damage.
    

If reasonably practicable, we will provide you with written notice
electronically on the applicable Consumer Services or via an email address
associated with you (or as specified above) before taking the Relevant Action.

Termination by You: Subject to any product-specific Terms below, you may
terminate any Consumer Service at any time and for any reason by terminating the
Consumer Service or closing or deleting your account as described below in the
Link Account Terms. Termination will be effective on the date that your account
is closed.

Effect of Termination. Upon termination, you will not have any further use of or
access to the Consumer Services. Subject to applicable law, you will also not
have any use of or access to any information you submitted through the Consumer
Services, and all rights granted under these Terms will end. Termination does
not relieve you of your obligations to pay amounts owed to Stripe, Business
Users, or any other obligation contracted prior to termination. Termination does
not revoke any third-party payment authorisations. The following provisions will
survive even after these Terms terminate: Arbitration Agreement, Our
Intellectual Property, Feedback, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of
Liability, Governing Law, Assignment and Third Party Beneficiaries, and
Miscellaneous Terms.


10. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

Subject to statutory consumer guarantees, which will apply irrespective of this
disclaimer, the Consumer Services are provided "as-is" and without any
representation or warranty, whether express or implied. We, our affiliates, and
our respective agents, and contractors (together, the "Disclaiming Entities")
make no representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever (other than those
implied by statute) with respect to the Consumer Services or the content,
materials, information and functions we make accessible, and specifically
disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not promise that the Consumer
Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, free from cyber attacks, or secure.

The Disclaiming Entities do not control or make any warranties regarding the
products or services others provide in connection with the Consumer Services. In
other words, we do not have control over the businesses from which you're
purchasing when using the Consumer Services, and we do not promise or imply that
the products or services you buy using the Consumer Services will work as
promised or be safe to use.

To the extent that you acquire goods or services from Stripe as a consumer
within the meaning of the Australian Consumer Law as set out in the Competition
and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), you have certain rights and remedies (including
consumer guarantee rights) that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified by
agreement. Nothing in this Agreement operates to exclude, restrict or modify the
application of any implied condition, warranty or guarantee, or the exercise of
any right or remedy, or the imposition of any liability under law where to do so
would: (a) contravene that law; or (b) cause any term of this agreement to be
void.


11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The Disclaiming Entities will not be liable to you for any failure to perform
our obligation under these Terms due to a Force Majeure Event. A "Force Majeure
Event" is any event beyond the control of the Disclaiming Entities that
significantly impacts Stripe’s ability to perform its obligations under these
Terms, including a strike or other labour dispute; labour shortage, stoppage or
slowdown; supply chain disruption; embargo or blockade; telecommunication
breakdown; cyber blackout; power outage or shortage; inadequate transportation
service; inability or delay in obtaining adequate supplies; weather; earthquake;
fire; flood; act of God; riot; civil disorder; civil or government calamity;
epidemic; pandemic; state or national health crisis; war; invasion; hostility
(whether war is declared or not); terrorism threat or act; Law; or act of a
Governmental Authority.

Subject to applicable consumer laws in your country, which will apply
irrespective of this limitation of liability, the Disclaiming Entities will not
be liable to you for any failure to perform our obligations under these Terms
where performance of that obligation would have put us in violation of
applicable law.

The Disclaiming Entities will not be liable to you, and you will not be liable
to the Disclaiming Entities, in any circumstances for:

 * Loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of opportunity, or loss of profit;
   or

 * Any loss that could not have been reasonably anticipated.

Subject to the specific product Terms below and applicable consumer laws in
Australia,  in no event will a Disclaiming Entity's liability arising out of or
in connection with these Terms exceed $200 USD, except to the extent that the
liability is caused by the negligence, fraud, or wilful misconduct of a
Disclaiming Entity.

You and we agree that the other has relied on the disclaimer of warranties and
limitation of liability stated above in entering into these Terms, the
limitation and disclaimer are essential to the agreement between you and us
under these Terms, and they will apply to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Some laws restrict our ability to disclaim or limit our liability. In those
cases, this section does not restrict, exclude or modify any consumer rights
under any applicable law.


12. GOVERNING LAW

If you reside in Australia, the laws of the state of New South Wales will govern
any claim or dispute between you and us that arises out of these Terms,
regardless of conflict of law principles.

If you reside outside of Australia, your governing law is specified here.


13. ASSIGNMENT AND THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES

You must not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms to anyone
without our prior written consent. We may delegate performing our obligations,
and we may assign our rights and novate our obligations under these Terms, at
any time for any reason without your consent by providing notice to you. 


14. MISCELLANEOUS TERMS

In the event of an irreconcilable conflict or inconsistency between a provision
in these Terms and any product-specific Terms below, the provision in the
product-specific Terms will govern. These Terms do not create any partnership,
joint venture, or other agency relationship between you and us. If we do not
immediately exercise a right we have under these Terms, we do not waive that
right. We retain our ability and right to enforce any part of these Terms at a
later time. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, that part will be
ignored, and all of the remaining terms will remain in effect.


15. CONTACT

If you have a question about the Consumer Services or how these Terms apply to
you, please contact support.


LINK ACCOUNT TERMS


1. DESCRIPTION OF LINK

Link is a service that allows you to save and manage your information for an
accelerated experience ("Link"). Link powers an accelerated checkout by storing
your information upon your authorisation and retrieving it for faster checkouts.
When you make a purchase at a business that uses Stripe and offers Link as an
accelerated checkout option (a "Link Merchant"), you will be asked if you would
like to save your information or use your information saved to your Link account
for future payments across Link Merchants when you are logged in with us on the
same browser, app or device.

When you authorise us to save your information, you are signing up for Link and
creating a Link account ("Link Account"), and we will collect and store certain
personal data from you, such as:

 1. Your name, email address, and mobile phone number ("Account Information"); 

 2. Your credit card, debit card, bank account information, and billing address
    ("Payment Information"); 

 3. Your shipping address ("Shipping Information"); and 

 4. Information related to your purchase from a Link Merchant, such as the order
    date, amount, and product details (such as name, price, photos) ("Order
    Information"). 

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO PROVIDE A LINK ACCOUNT TO ANYONE FOR ANY
REASON (SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAWS). 

Together, your Account Information, Payment Information, Shipping Information
and Order Information are your "Saved Information." We will use all personal
data we collect about you in accordance with the Link Privacy Policy, including
to develop and analyse our services and to  share with our Link Merchants and
our Business Users. The data we share with Link Merchants and Business Users may
include: (i) the fact that you have a Link Account, (ii) the fact that you
completed a purchase using Link, and (iii) the payment method type used for a
purchase you made using Link. Business Users are businesses that are using our
products and services for business purposes, subject to the Stripe Services
Agreement. We may also share your Account Information with our financial
partners in order to assist you in obtaining services from our financial
partners. 

When you use Link on a Link Merchant's website, we or the Link Merchant will use
cookies or similar technologies to associate your web browser, app, or device
(or data regarding your web browser, app, or device) to your Link Account and to
recognise you when you visit that Link Merchant or another Link Merchant on the
same web browser, app, or device. You will be able to log in to your Link
Account to access your Saved Information by inputting your email address and
using a passkey or a verification code sent to you via SMS text message or by
email. You can then make purchases using your Account Information, Payment
Information, and Shipping Information across Link Merchants when you are logged
in with us on the same browser, app or device. When you are logged into Link, we
will provide the Link Merchant with your Account Information, Payment
Information, and/or your Shipping Information to facilitate a faster checkout.
If you are not logged in to Link, for example, because your session has expired,
you've cleared your cookies, or you're using a device that is different from the
one you used to last access Link, you may log in again via the same method
outlined above.


2. USE OF LINK: YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

 * You may only save Payment Information with us that you are authorised to use.

 * When you are logged into your Link Account and you input or use a new payment
   method (such as a different debit or credit card, or a different bank
   account), you authorise Stripe to save that new payment method information to
   your Link Account as part of your Payment Information. The last payment
   method you used to make a successful transaction may become your default
   payment method the next time you are completing a transaction on a Link
   Merchant's site. You may also change your default payment method by logging
   into your Link Account on app.link.com.

 * Message and data rates may apply for any SMS messages that we send to you, or
   you send to us. If you have any questions about your text plan or data plan,
   contact your wireless or mobile provider.

 * We reserve the right to modify or terminate Link or any of the features or
   tools provided therein in the circumstances set out in clause 9 of the
   Consumer Terms.


3. UPDATING OR TERMINATING YOUR LINK ACCOUNT

 * These Link Account Terms are effective unless and until they are terminated
   by either you or us. You may terminate these Link Account Terms at any time
   by deleting your Link Account.

 * If you want to delete your Saved Information, your Link Account, or stop
   storing information using Link, please let us know by visiting
   <https://support.link.com/how-to-delete-your-saved-payment-information> and
   submitting your email address.

 * You can manage your Saved Information on your Link Account, the next time you
   checkout on a Link Merchant site, or by visiting https://support.link.com for
   more instructions. Should you update your Payment Information, you authorise
   Stripe to validate and store your Payment Information, including your credit
   card, on file.

 * If your access to your Link Account is terminated by you or us, we will
   delete your Saved Information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.


4. ADDING OR REMOVING A PAYMENT METHOD

 * You can add or remove certain payment methods to your Link Account such as a
   credit card, debit card, a buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) account, or a US bank
   account (if you are located in the US). Before linking a payment method, you
   should review and understand the consumer protection rights and remedies
   available for different payment sources in your jurisdiction, such as under
   the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) and Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) in
   the United States.

 * If you add a BNPL account to your Link Account, your BNPL account will remain
   logged-in via your Link Account. This means that you will not need to
   separately log in to your BNPL account to access it via Link. It also means
   that access to your Link account will also provide access to your BNPL
   account. 

 * Please keep your Payment Information current (e.g., credit card number and
   expiration date). If this information changes, you authorise us to, as
   permitted by and in accordance with the law, update it using information and
   third-party sources available to us without any action on your part. If you
   do not want us to update your card information, you may remove your Payment
   Information from your Link Account.

 * Removing a payment method from your Link Account does not cancel or change
   any amounts you still owe to a Link Merchant or to a BNPL provider.
   Specifically, if you remove a payment method from your Saved Information,
   this will not terminate or cancel any outstanding payment plans you may have
   entered into with a BNPL provider or any subscriptions you may have purchased
   with a Link Merchant using your Saved Information. You must cancel your
   subscriptions with the Link Merchant directly, and you must manage your BNPL
   payment plans with the BNPL provider directly.

 * Where applicable, we may ask you to connect your bank account to your Link
   Account to make it easier to pay with your bank account subsequently through
   your Link Account. Any bank account you choose to save to your Link Account
   is referred to as a "Saved Bank Account." Through your Link Account and under
   the Financial Connections Terms, you may also choose to provide your Saved
   Bank Account details directly to a Business User regardless of whether Stripe
   is involved in a subsequent transaction. We will collect data from your Saved
   Bank Account (and other accounts under the same account credentials) pursuant
   to the Financial Connections Terms and the Link Privacy Policy. We may use
   your Saved Bank Account data to, among other things, verify that your Saved
   Bank Account is valid, check your balance to confirm there are sufficient
   funds for your purchase, streamline your requested payments and assess your
   eligibility for and offer you Consumer Services that we or our affiliate
   provides. You authorise us to credit amounts or otherwise send payments to
   the bank account you would like to save to your Link Account and your
   existing Saved Bank Account(s), including to determine whether your bank
   account is valid and active, as well as for promotions and refunds.

 * Each time you use your Link Account to pay a Link Merchant using your Saved
   Bank Account, you are authorising the Link Merchant to debit your Saved Bank
   Account for up to the total amount you authorise the merchant to charge
   ("Total Authorised Amount") pursuant to the Link Bank Payments Authorization.
   You authorise us to retry a debit on your Saved Bank Account if your bank
   rejects the original debit. If the Link Merchant chooses, they may debit your
   Saved Bank Account, pursuant to your Link Bank Payments Authorization, for
   amounts less than the Total Authorised Amount, which in the aggregate will
   not exceed the Total Authorised Amount. Where your Saved Bank Account is a US
   bank account, you agree that your grant of the authorisation in this
   paragraph complies with the National Automated Clearinghouse Association
   (NACHA) operating rules and has the same legal effect as if you had signed a
   paper mandate containing the same terms.

 * If you do not see an option to pay using a bank account through your Link
   Account, it may be because the Link Merchant has not allowed those payments
   or the Link Merchant or bank is not eligible for bank payments via our
   Consumer Services. If your bank account transaction fails without an actual
   attempt to debit your Saved Bank Account, it may be because we determined the
   transaction is at high risk of being returned unsuccessfully (e.g. if your
   historical account balance is below the transaction amount). This can help
   prevent you from incurring insufficient funds fees from your bank. We
   recommend that you use a different bank account or payment method or reach
   out to us if you have questions. Your use of your bank account as a payment
   method is also subject to the terms, benefits, and protections associated
   with your personal bank account. If you use your bank account as a payment
   method and do not have sufficient funds to make a purchase, you could incur
   overdraft fees, insufficient funds fees or other fees with your bank.

 * If at any time you would like to revoke your Link Bank Payments Authorization
   or you no longer want your Saved Bank Account to be a payment method saved to
   your Link Account, you must delete your Saved Bank Account as a payment
   method from your Link Account. If a payment with your Saved Bank Account was
   not initiated from your Link Account but involved Link or Stripe connecting
   your financial account with that Business User, please see the Financial
   Connections Terms or this page for information on how to disconnect your
   Saved Bank Account.


5. BACKUP PAYMENT METHOD

 * If your default or selected payment method is unavailable, or the transaction
   is unsuccessful using that payment method (for example, because your Saved
   Bank Account has insufficient funds), the Link Merchant may initiate a
   transaction on any other payment method saved to your Link Account (a "Backup
   Payment Method"). Generally, transactions on Backup Payment Methods will be
   attempted in the following order, if applicable: (1) Saved Bank Account, (2)
   debit card, and (3) credit card. In some cases, a Backup Payment Method of
   the same type will be used (for example, if your default payment method is a
   card, the Backup Payment Method may also be a card).

 * We will identify that a Backup Payment Method applies before you complete the
   purchase (e.g., whether during a one-time checkout or for any subscription
   payments, during the initial subscription purchase). 

 * If you do not wish to have a Backup Payment Method used, you may either (i)
   not consent to the use of the Backup Payment Method or (ii) manage your
   payment methods on your Link Account.


6. BETA PROGRAM

If you would like access to Link’s newest products and services, you can opt in
to participating in the Link beta programme via the settings in your Link
Account. When you join the Link beta programme, you are authorising us to
process your Saved Information to determine if you are eligible for our newest
products and services. We may also send you communications to market the
availability of a new product or service.


7. SECURITY

 * We take the protection of your Saved Information seriously and have 
   implemented technical and organisational measures designed to safeguard it
   from accidental loss and from unauthorised access, use, alteration, or
   disclosure. These measures include industry-standard practices and technology
   to help maintain the security, confidentiality, and integrity of your data. 

 * While we strive to provide robust security, no system is completely
   foolproof. We cannot guarantee that unauthorised third parties will never be
   able to defeat our security measures or misuse your Saved Information. We
   encourage you to remain vigilant and take responsibility for securing your
   personal data, knowing that you provide it at your own risk. 

 * Learn more about our security here. If you have reason to believe that the
   security of your Link Account has been compromised, please contact us
   immediately at support.link.com/contact.


8. DORMANT ACCOUNTS

 * If your Link Account remains inactive for a continuous period of two years,
   we may consider the account dormant and may close your Link Account at our
   discretion (a "Dormant Account").

 * A Link Account is considered a Dormant Account if you have not done any of
   the following Link Account activities during a continuous two year period:
   
   * Making a payment or purchase using Link at a Link Merchant;
     
   * Adding, updating or removing any of your Saved Information;
     
   * Initiating account settings changes or updating security preferences;
     
   * Engaging with customer support related to your Link Account, including
     inquiries or disputes; or
