Parts 730-774, including submission of any necessary classification requests or self-classification reports to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security. Stripe only permits Apps on its platform that are classified as “EAR99” or have an Export Control Classification Number (“ECCN”) 5D992 (i.e., mass market) on the Commerce Control List.

3.9 Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either party from developing, promoting and/or publishing applications, products or services that are similar or otherwise compete with the other party's applications.

4. Takedowns

D. an allegation or determination that such Listing does not comply with applicable law.

If you remove an App from the Marketplace pursuant to clauses A through D of this Section 4.1, and a Business User installed your application within a year before the date of takedown, Stripe is not responsible for refund(s) to the affected buyer of any amount paid by Business User.

4.2 Stripe Takedowns. Stripe is not obligated to monitor your App or its content, but we may at any time review or test your App for compliance with this Agreement, the Marketplace program policies, and any other applicable terms, obligations, laws, or regulations. We reserve the right to refuse an App on Stripe’s Marketplace at our sole discretion. You may be required to provide information about yourself (such as identification or contact details) as a part of your App’s submission to the Stripe Marketplace, or as part of your continued use of Marketplace. You agree that any information you give to us will always be accurate, correct and up to date. As part of the specification for your Listing, we may ask that you include information such as your name and email address. Stripe may use this information for Listing in the Marketplace or for other uses.
