Payment enforcement, recovery, chargeback, dispute, and Stripe platform handling terms.

Source: Addendum D - Stripe Payments.rtfApplies to: platform, tenant, payments, operations
Addendum D — Stripe Payments Enforcement & Recovery Terms
This Addendum supplements and forms part of the BayoSys Stripe Payment Terms, the BayoSys Terms & Conditions, the SaaS Agreement, and the Tenant Agreement.

24. Merchant-of-Record and Platform Role Clarification
Unless expressly stated otherwise in a written agreement, configured checkout flow, or processor setup:
the applicable Tenant is the seller of record for its own goods, services, bookings, memberships, subscriptions, events, and digital deliverables
BayoSys acts as the software, infrastructure, checkout, routing, and payment-enablement layer
BayoSys is not responsible for the Tenant’s fulfillment, product quality, appointment delivery, customer promises, service performance, licensing, or business conduct
Where payment rails, compliance requirements, or checkout design result in BayoSys appearing in statements, receipts, processor records, or fee flows, that appearance does not by itself transfer responsibility for Tenant fulfillment obligations to BayoSys.

25. Reserve, Hold, Offset, and Recovery Rights
To protect the Platform against losses, disputes, processor exposure, fraud, refunds, reversals, or other liabilities, BayoSys may, to the extent permitted by law and processor rules:
delay transfers or platform-related disbursements
place temporary holds on amounts otherwise payable
offset amounts owed by a Tenant against future funds, payouts, credits, or balances associated with that Tenant
recover unpaid fees, refunds, chargebacks, reversals, dispute fees, fines, or losses from future transaction amounts or other sums due to the Tenant
These rights apply whether the underlying liability arises from:
a customer refund
a chargeback or dispute
processor penalties or fees
platform fee undercollection
fraud or suspected fraud
fulfillment failures
misuse of the payment system

26. Cross-Balance Recovery
If a Tenant owes money to BayoSys under any payment-related document, BayoSys may recover that amount from:
pending payouts
platform balances
future fees or credits
related transaction streams
any amounts otherwise payable to the Tenant through the Platform
If processor rules or system architecture do not allow automatic recovery, the Tenant remains directly liable for the unpaid amount.

27. Negative Balance Responsibility
A Tenant is responsible for any negative balance caused by:
refunds
disputes
chargebacks
processor reversals
failed collections
fraud losses
fee reversals
account holds
payout failures
underfunded or unavailable connected accounts
If a Tenant’s balance becomes negative, BayoSys may:
invoice the Tenant directly
debit future earnings where permitted
suspend payment tools
pause platform services
require updated payment methods
require prepayment or reserves before continued use

28. Recovery Authorization
By using BayoSys payment infrastructure, each Tenant authorizes BayoSys, to the extent permitted by applicable law and processor capabilities, to:
collect platform fees
deduct or recover amounts owed to BayoSys
apply offsets against future payout flows
charge stored or authorized payment methods for outstanding platform-related obligations where such authorization has been obtained through checkout, billing, or account terms
This authorization survives termination to the extent necessary to resolve outstanding financial obligations.

29. Refund Administration Rights
BayoSys may, in its discretion, issue, force, facilitate, recommend, or coordinate refunds where reasonably necessary to:
correct billing errors
mitigate disputes
address fraud risk
comply with processor obligations
protect the Platform from escalating losses
respond to legal or regulatory concerns
Where a refund relates to a Tenant transaction, the Tenant remains financially responsible for the refunded amount, related processor fees where applicable, and associated losses unless BayoSys expressly agrees otherwise in writing.

30. Dispute Cooperation Requirement
Tenants must promptly cooperate with BayoSys and payment processors in connection with disputes, chargebacks, reviews, and fraud investigations.
Required cooperation may include:
proof of delivery or fulfillment
invoices, receipts, or booking confirmations
refund policy disclosures
customer communications
access logs, download logs, or gallery delivery evidence
event records, waiver records, or attendance confirmations
any other information reasonably needed to defend or evaluate a disputed transaction
Failure to cooperate may result in:
automatic concession of the dispute at the platform level
chargeback liability assigned to the Tenant
suspension or termination of payment access
reserve requirements or account restrictions

31. Processor Compliance and Risk Actions
BayoSys may take immediate payment-related action if required or reasonably suggested by:
Stripe
bank partners
card networks
fraud tools
compliance providers
legal or regulatory demands
Such action may include:
holding transactions
pausing payouts
restricting checkout
requiring additional verification
limiting certain products or payment methods
suspending a Tenant account
BayoSys is not liable for losses caused by processor- or network-driven compliance actions.

32. High-Risk Activity and Reclassification
If BayoSys determines that a Tenant’s activity presents elevated risk, BayoSys may reclassify the Tenant as high-risk for internal platform purposes.
Factors may include:
excessive chargebacks
misleading offers
aggressive refund complaints
unusual transaction patterns
abnormal refund rates
regulatory exposure
restricted or sensitive categories
poor fulfillment performance
sudden spikes in volume
If reclassified, BayoSys may require:
additional review
reserves
delayed launches
manual approval of transactions
modified payment flows
stronger refund disclosures
reduced feature access

33. Subscription and Recurring Billing Enforcement
For recurring charges, memberships, and warranty billing:
the customer or Tenant is responsible for keeping payment methods current
failed recurring charges may trigger retries where permitted
access may be suspended after failed collection attempts
recurring services may remain inactive until payment is restored
Cancellation of a recurring service stops future billing only as provided in the applicable service terms and does not automatically waive already-incurred charges, unpaid balances, or recovery rights.

34. No Waiver of Fees or Losses
If BayoSys elects not to enforce a payment right, fee, hold, reserve, deduction, or recovery action in one instance, that does not waive BayoSys’s right to do so later.
Any leniency, accommodation, or temporary exception is discretionary and does not create an ongoing obligation.

35. Survival of Payment Obligations
The following survive suspension, cancellation, or termination of a Tenant account:
unpaid platform fees
refund obligations
dispute and chargeback liability
negative balance responsibility
recovery and offset rights
indemnification related to payment activity
obligations to cooperate in disputes or investigations

36. Effective Date
This Addendum forms part of the BayoSys Stripe Payment Terms.
Effective as of: April 1st 2026
