Attribute-Based. Instead of using standard, custom or express onboarding, you may onboard a Connected Account by choosing a distinct combination of attributes for the Connected Account (e.g., onboarding experience and dashboard user interfaces, risk management and pricing controls), as described in the Stripe Connect documentation. You must create and manage the Stripe accounts for these Connected Accounts. You must ensure that Connected Account Data is provided to Stripe in the manner prescribed in the Stripe Connect documentation, and that Connected Accounts without Platform Pricing Control have access to the Stripe dashboard. You must clearly and prominently disclose all Platform Fees, if any, and, to the extent charged separately, the Services. You must ensure that each Platform Merchant that you intend to onboard as one of these Connected Accounts agrees to the Connected Account Agreement before it uses any Stripe services. You may surface the Connected Account Agreement either through a Stripe-powered onboarding flow (e.g., embedded, Stripe-hosted or Stripe-assisted onboarding), or through your own onboarding flow. At Stripe’s request, you must provide proof as Stripe requires that these agreements have been entered into between the Connected Accounts and Stripe. If Stripe believes that your existing acceptance process does not create a binding agreement between Stripe and each Connected Account, then, upon Stripe’s request, you must modify that process as Stripe requires. As between Stripe and you, you are responsible for all Activity on these Connected Accounts, whether initiated by you or not, and are liable to Stripe for all resulting negative amounts on a Connected Account’s Stripe account balance resulting from Transactions, Disputes, Refunds, and Reversals where the Connected Account is the settlement merchant (“Merchant Losses”) (except with respect to SMR- Enabled Connected Accounts as defined, and to the extent stated, in Section 5 below) and any other losses, damages, and costs that result from use of the Services, including any fines assessed by Financial Partners or Governmental Authorities, except to the extent the losses, damages, or costs arise from Stripe’s breach of this Agreement or Stripe’s negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud. You remain jointly and severally liable with these Connected Accounts to Stripe for these amounts, and Stripe may collect these amounts from you in accordance with the Agreement.
