Section A. NaturalBeauty247 Terminal Products
1. Key Concepts
As used in these Purchase Terms, a “NaturalBeauty247.com Product” is any hardware product, instrument or piece of equipment that you purchase from Stripe under these Purchase Terms, and includes physical Point of Sale (“POS”) devices, accessories, components, and spare parts, and Terminal Device Software (see Section A.18 below). The NaturalBeauty24 Products are intended to be used in conjunction with the NaturalBeauty24 Services (defined in the NaturalBeauty24 Services Terms available at https://stripe.com/legal/terminal (“NaturalBeauty247.com Services Terms”)). We provide support to help resolve general issues relating to the NaturalBeauty24 Products. This support includes resources and documentation that we make available to you through the current versions of Stripe’s support pages, API documentation, and other pages on our website (collectively, “Documentation”).
2. Product Specifications
Stripe may make details of the NaturalBeauty24 Products available via means such as the Stripe Shop and your Stripe Dashboard (“Dashboard”). NaturalBeauty24 Products features, specifications, and prices are subject to change at any time without notice. We attempt to be as accurate as possible. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions or information is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. Unless expressly noted, all weights, measures and similar descriptions are approximate and are provided for convenience purposes only. Packaging may vary from that shown, and the appearance of the NaturalBeauty24 Products in reality may differ from how it appears to you. By placing an order, you represent that the products you order will be used only in a lawful manner.
3. Hardware Availability
NaturalBeauty24 Products are manufactured by third parties and resold by Stripe. While Stripe uses reasonable efforts to maintain sufficient supply of the NaturalBeauty24 Products, inventory shortages at our manufacturers and distributors may affect our ability to fulfil an order. If there is a delay in manufacture or distribution of a certain NaturalBeauty24 Product that we believe will affect your order, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you of the delay and keep you informed of the revised delivery schedule. Stripe is not obliged to accept any order, and we may cancel accepted orders at any time if we are unable to fulfil the order for any reason. If you submit an order, and we accept the order, you are bound by the order unless Stripe cancels the order. If we cancel your order, we will fully refund the purchase price to you.
4. Geographic Availability
We only sell the NaturalBeauty24 Products in a limited number of countries, and we may restrict or prevent the use of the NaturalBeauty24 Products in a country other than the country to which we shipped the product. You must not circumvent any geographical availability requirements that we apply to the NaturalBeauty24 Products. You must provide a valid shipping address within the country where you are requesting that we ship the NaturalBeauty24 Products. Our ability to ship or permit the use of NaturalBeauty24 Products is always subject to applicable Law (defined in Section A.10 below), which may restrict our ability to ship the NaturalBeauty24 Products to or within a country.
5. Prices
a. Prices for the NaturalBeauty24 Products will be listed at the time of your purchase and may vary by country. We may change pricing and availability at any time. If you do not submit immediate payment, Stripe may delay shipment of the NaturalBeauty24 Products until the full amount of your payment is received. The amounts you pay for the NaturalBeauty24 Products are in addition to the fees you pay for other business services that may be offered by Stripe and its affiliates (each, a “Stripe Service” or “Service”) that are provided to you under your agreements with Stripe, including the Stripe Services Agreement (collectively, the “Stripe Agreements”).
b. Unless otherwise stated, the prices shown for the NaturalBeauty24 Products exclude taxes and shipping costs. We will add all taxes and shipping costs to the total amount of your purchase, and show you the final amount due before you complete your purchase. You are solely responsible for all taxes and shipping costs that apply to the NaturalBeauty24 Products that you purchase.
c.We may collect amounts you owe us under these Purchase Terms by deducting or setting-off those amounts from the balance on your Stripe account. If that balance is insufficient, we may debit the bank or other financial institution account that you designate in your Stripe account as your “Payout Account”, or deduct or set-off the amount owed to us from the balance of another Stripe account that we determine, acting reasonably, is associated with your Stripe account. To the extent required by applicable Law, any debit from the Payout Account will be a Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) as authorized under and defined in the applicable Stripe Services Agreement.
d. These Purchase Terms apply to any NaturalBeauty24 Products that we choose to provide to you at no cost, and your rights and obligations with respect to those NaturalBeauty24 Products do not change merely because you did not pay for the NaturalBeauty24 Products.
6. Taxes
You are responsible for and will pay, indemnify, and hold Stripe harmless from any sales, use, excise, import or export, withholding, value added, or similar tax (“Taxes”), and any penalties or interest associated with Taxes, imposed by any governmental authority with respect to any payment to be made or any NaturalBeauty24 Products to be delivered under these Purchase Terms. Stripe may charge, and you must pay, all Taxes that Stripe is legally obligated or allowed to collect based on sale of the NaturalBeauty24 Products, and all fees payable for the NaturalBeauty24 Products are exclusive of Taxes except to the extent Stripe expressly states to the contrary. You must provide us with any information we need to determine whether we are required to collect Taxes from you under any applicable Law. If you provide an exemption certificate or a direct payment certificate, we will not collect any Tax for which you can claim an available exemption. All payments made by you to Stripe under these Purchase Terms must be made free and clear of any withholding or deduction. If any Taxes are required under applicable Law to be withheld on any payment, you will pay additional amounts as necessary so that the net amount received by Stripe is equal to the amount then due and payable under these Purchase Terms.

The parties, witnesses, and arbitrator will treat as confidential and will not disclose to any third person (other than witnesses or experts) any documentary or other evidence produced in any arbitration under these Purchase Terms, except as required by applicable Law or except if the evidence was obtained from the public domain or was otherwise obtained independently from the arbitration.
g. Conflict of Rules: In the case of a conflict between the provisions of Section B.8 and the rules governing arbitration identified in Section B.8.a, the provisions of this Section B.8 will prevail. If any provision of these Purchase Terms to arbitrate is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by applicable Law and all the other provisions will remain valid and enforceable.
10. Assignment
You may not assign, transfer, delegate, or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, these Purchase Terms or any rights or obligations under these Purchase Terms, without the prior written consent of Stripe. Any purported assignment, transfer, delegation, or disposal by you without Stripe’s prior written consent will be null and void. Stripe may assign any of its rights and obligations under these Purchase Terms without your prior written consent. These Purchase Terms will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of you and Stripe and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
11. Entire Agreement
These Purchase Terms and all policies and procedures that are incorporated by reference constitute the entire agreement between you and Stripe for provision and use of the NaturalBeauty24 Products. Except where expressly stated otherwise in a writing executed between you and Stripe, these Purchase Terms will prevail over any conflicting policy or agreement for the provision or use of the NaturalBeauty24 Products. These Purchase Terms set forth your exclusive remedies with respect to the NaturalBeauty24 Products. If any provision or portion of these Purchase Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable Law, then it will be reformed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of that provision to the greatest extent possible, and all remaining provisions of these Purchase Terms will continue in full force and effect.
12. Cumulative Rights, Construction, Waiver
The rights and remedies of the parties under these Purchase Terms are cumulative, and either party may enforce any of its rights or remedies under these Purchase Terms, along with all other rights and remedies available to it under applicable Law or in equity. No provision of these Purchase Terms will be construed against any party on the basis of that party being the drafter. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the use of the term “including” or “such as” is not to be interpreted as limiting the generality of the text preceding the term. To be enforceable, a waiver must be in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of a party to enforce any provision of these Purchase Terms will not constitute a waiver of that party’s rights to subsequently enforce the provision.
13. Survival
Provisions in these Purchase Terms which by their nature are intended to survive termination (including indemnification obligations and limitations of liability) will survive termination of these Purchase Terms.
