Draft for attorney review
Demo payments, Stripe Connect, platform fees, owner payouts, refunds, and chargebacks.
Not final legal terms
This document is a planning draft. It should be reviewed, revised, and approved by qualified counsel before TrustStay uses it as public legal policy.
Prepare payment language before switching from demo/test payment flows to live production payments.
TrustStay supports demo bookings for product testing and Stripe test-mode flows for payment, refund, and connected-account testing. Demo payments and Stripe test-mode payments are not live production money movement and should not be described as final consumer payment terms.
Production payments should be processed by Stripe or another approved payment provider only after final business, legal, tax, compliance, refund, chargeback, and support processes are approved. TrustStay should not store full card numbers, wallet credentials, bank login details, SSNs, ITINs, government ID images, or biometric identity data in the application database unless counsel approves a compliant process.
Final policy should explain platform fees, payment processing fees, taxes, owner tax responsibility, refunds, partial refunds, chargebacks, payout reversals, and any non-refundable fees. Counsel should align this with Stripe’s terms and TrustStay’s final business model.
After counsel finalizes this document, update the matching public TrustStay policy page and keep this legal-review draft archived for launch records.
