Can Stripe provide services to Bonchon or its affiliates in other countries under the Stripe Services Agreement?

According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Stripe and its affiliates may provide services to Bonchon or its affiliates in countries outside the United States under separate agreements. However, only businesses and non-profit organizations located in the United States are eligible to apply for a Stripe Account and use the Services.

This means that while Bonchon franchisees in the U.S. are eligible to use Stripe's services, international Bonchon locations may also utilize Stripe's services, but this would be governed by a separate agreement. This implies that the terms and conditions for international locations could differ from those within the U.S.

For a prospective Bonchon franchisee, this indicates that if they plan to expand Bonchon operations internationally, they should be aware that the Stripe services agreement applicable in the U.S. may not be the same for international locations. It would be prudent to understand the specific terms of any separate agreements governing Stripe's services in those international regions.
