The Stripe Terminal Reseller Terms (“Reseller Terms”) supplement the Stripe Terminal Purchase Terms, and apply to the resale of the Stripe Terminal Products. These Reseller Terms form part of your agreement with Stripe, as described in the Stripe Terminal Purchase Terms, and capitalized terms used but not defined in these Reseller Terms have the meaning given in the Stripe Terminal Purchase Terms. These Reseller Terms describe the terms and conditions that apply in addition to the Stripe Terminal Purchase Terms to your resale and distribution of the Stripe Terminal Products, and you must not resell or distribute, or permit any party to resell or distribute, a Stripe Terminal Product otherwise than in accordance with these Reseller Terms.
1. Appointment as Reseller
Subject to the terms and conditions of these Reseller Terms, we appoint you and you agree to be appointed as an authorized, non-exclusive reseller and distributor of the Stripe Terminal Products. Pursuant to these Reseller Terms you may market, resell, and distribute the Stripe Terminal Products in your name and on your behalf, provided that your resale, marketing and distribution of Stripe Terminal Products must be solely for the purposes of encouraging and enabling use of the Stripe Terminal Services with the Stripe Terminal Products. You do not have any exclusive rights under these Reseller Terms.
Your distribution of Stripe Terminal Products may not be via a rental or lease arrangement, unless we provide our prior written consent. You may not resell, market or distribute the Stripe Terminal Products or any part of the Stripe Terminal Products outside of the countries where Stripe provides support for Stripe Terminal, and you must not ship Stripe Terminal Products to an address located in a country other than the country to which Stripe initially shipped those products except that you may ship a Stripe Terminal Product that was shipped to the European Economic Area or Switzerland to another country in the European Economic Area or Switzerland.
2. End Users
In these Reseller Terms, an “End User” is a person or entity that uses a Stripe Terminal Product that you sell or distribute, and the direct and indirect individual or enterprise customers of Stripe Terminal Products. You must ensure that End Users: (a) agree to the Stripe Terminal Purchase Terms and Stripe Terminal Services Terms, as applicable; and (b) use Stripe Terminal Products only within the country to which Stripe initially shipped those products except that an End User may use a Stripe Terminal Product that was shipped to the European Economic Area or Switzerland in another country in the European Economic Area or Switzerland but only if we support Stripe Terminal in that country (found on https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/fleet/placing-orders or as otherwise communicated to you by Stripe in writing); and (c) without limiting any of your other obligations under these Reseller Terms, if you obtain equipment, software or accessories branded by Verifone under the Stripe Terminal Purchase Terms and shipped to you by or on behalf of Stripe to an address in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, you agree to comply with the Verifone Minimum Terms. Stripe may allow you to specify End Users to which the Stripe Terminal Products are to be shipped. All such orders will be deemed to be made by you on behalf of the End Users, and Stripe will ship the Stripe Terminal Products directly to the End Users.
3. Your Marketing of Stripe Terminal Products
You may only market the Stripe Terminal Products in compliance with applicable Law, the Stripe Marks Usage Agreement located at https://stripe.com/marks/legal, the Stripe Terminal Purchase Terms, and these Reseller Terms.

5. Hardware Warranty and Warranty Claims
The hardware warranty applicable to the Stripe Terminal Products, as described in the Stripe Terminal Purchase Terms is personal to you. You may submit your own warranty claim to Stripe with respect to Stripe Terminal Products that you resell or distribute to your End Users. However, you may not expressly state, or imply in any way, that the End Users receive a warranty directly from Stripe, and if you provide any warranty on the Stripe Terminal Products to your End Users (including any warranty as to quality or workmanship), you must make clear that you do so on your own, and not Stripe’s, behalf.
6. Further Resale and Distribution
You must not resell or distribute, without Stripe’s prior written consent, a Stripe Terminal Product to any person or entity that resells or distributes, or intends to resell or distribute, the Stripe Terminal Product. If Stripe permits you to engage in sub-distribution or sub-resale, you must ensure that the sub-distributor or sub-reseller (as the case may be) complies with these Reseller Terms and the Stripe Terminal Purchase Terms, and you are responsible for any liability incurred by Stripe due to a sub-distributor’s or sub-reseller’s failure to do so. Stripe may direct you to terminate your relationship with a sub-distributor or sub-reseller, in which case you must do so within 30 days after the date of Stripe’s direction.

11. Termination
Either party may terminate these Reseller Terms by written notice if the other party breaches any provision of these Reseller Terms and such breach is not cured within 30 days after receipt of written notice of such breach stating the terminating Party’s intent to terminate. Either party may terminate these Reseller Terms for any or no reason upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the other party. Stripe may terminate these Reseller Terms immediately upon written notice for your breach of any of the provisions of Sections 4(a), 4(b), 4(e), 4(f), 6, 7 or 14, or if you are subject to a significant fraud or credit risk event, become insolvent or fail to pay your obligations as they arise. These Reseller Terms terminate automatically if your Stripe Terminal Purchase Terms are terminated.
