Accounts using prepaid or disposable payment instruments may be subject to additional documentation requests or verification delays to prevent abuse.

Providing false, incomplete, or unverifiable information may result in account suspension or termination. We reserve the right to perform verification at any time to maintain platform security and compliance.

4. Payments via Stripe and Card-on-File Billing

We use Stripe, Inc. as our PCI-DSS–compliant payment processor. When you submit a payment method:

  • We receive a non-sensitive token from Stripe and may initiate future charges for renewals, usage, add-ons, or invoices according to your agreement and plan settings.
  • We do not store full card numbers or CVV on our servers.
  • Stripe’s processing of your data is subject to Stripe’s Privacy Policy.

You can update or remove your stored payment method from your account portal or by contacting us. Removal may affect service continuity if an alternate valid method is not provided before renewal.
