What is the definition of 'Stripe Account' in the Stripe Services Agreement for Bonchon?

According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a 'Stripe Account' is defined as your Stripe account. This definition is part of the broader Stripe Services Agreement that Bonchon franchisees must adhere to for payment processing and other related services.

For a prospective Bonchon franchisee, understanding this definition is crucial as it forms the basis for using Stripe's services. The Stripe Account is the central hub through which all transactions, data, and interactions with the Stripe platform occur. It's essential to recognize that this account is directly linked to the franchisee's business operations and financial activities.

Furthermore, the FDD excerpts also mention the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which applies when a Stripe Account is enrolled with a third-party platform provider using Stripe Connect Services. This agreement incorporates the Stripe Services Agreement, meaning that franchisees need to be aware of both agreements if they are using a platform connected to Stripe. The interplay between these agreements ensures that all parties—Stripe, the franchisee, and any third-party platforms—are aligned in their understanding of the services and responsibilities involved.

In summary, the 'Stripe Account' is the franchisee's specific account within the Stripe ecosystem, governed by the Stripe Services Agreement and potentially the Stripe Connected Account Agreement if integrated with a third-party platform. Franchisees should familiarize themselves with these agreements to fully understand their rights and obligations when using Stripe's services for their Bonchon franchise.
