Effective date: April 9, 2026 — Last updated: April 9, 2026
1. Introduction
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Pay Oren platform ("Platform", "we", "us", or "our") operated by Osmosia Venture LLC, a company incorporated in the State of Delaware, United States ("Company").
By registering for or using the Platform, you ("Merchant" or "you") agree to be bound by these Terms in full. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform.
2. Description of Service
Pay Oren is a payment facilitation platform that enables Shopify merchants to offer a custom checkout experience powered by Stripe. The Platform acts as a payment facilitator between you (the Merchant) and Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe"). Through the Platform you can:
- Connect a Stripe account to accept payments from your customers.
- Offer a branded checkout page with real-time shipping rates and discount codes.
- Automatically sync completed orders back to your Shopify store.
- View payment activity and order history via the merchant dashboard.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself or your business. By using the Platform you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements. The Platform is intended for business use only; use by individual consumers for personal purchases is not permitted.
4. Stripe Connect and Payment Processing
Payment processing services on the Platform are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Services Agreement. By agreeing to these Terms or continuing to operate as a Merchant on the Platform, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, as may be amended by Stripe from time to time.
As a condition of the Platform enabling Stripe payment processing services, you agree to provide accurate and complete information about yourself and your business, and authorise the Platform to share this information with Stripe. The Platform is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or continuity of Stripe's payment processing services.
5. Platform Fees
The Platform charges a processing fee of 4.9% + 50¢ per completed transaction processed through the Platform ("Processing Fee"). This fee includes all payment processing costs and is deducted automatically from each transaction before funds are transferred to your Stripe account. There are no monthly fees, setup fees, or cancellation fees.
We reserve the right to modify the Platform Fee by providing at least 30 days' notice. Continued use of the Platform after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the revised fee.
6. Merchant Obligations

8. Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
As a Stripe Connect platform, we are required to establish and enforce an Acceptable Use Policy governing the conduct of all sub-merchants ("Merchants") who use the Platform. By registering and using the Platform, you agree to comply with this AUP at all times.
Permitted Use
You may only use the Platform to sell lawful goods and services through your registered business. You must ensure that your business practices comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction and in any jurisdiction where your customers are located.

9. Chargebacks and Disputes
You are solely responsible for managing and resolving customer disputes, chargebacks, and refund requests relating to transactions processed through your account. The Platform facilitates payment processing but is not a party to the transaction between you and your customers.
In the event of a chargeback, Stripe will deduct the disputed amount (plus any chargeback fees) from your Stripe account balance in accordance with Stripe's policies. The Platform is not liable for chargeback losses or Stripe-imposed penalties.
You agree to cooperate fully with the Platform and Stripe in the investigation of any suspected fraudulent transactions or disputes, including providing supporting documentation upon request.

- We reasonably suspect fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful activity associated with your account.
- Your Stripe connected account is suspended, restricted, or terminated by Stripe.
You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. Upon termination, any outstanding Platform Fees remain due and payable. Termination does not affect transactions already in progress or any obligations that arose before termination.

Your use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Platform you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in the Privacy Policy, including sharing necessary data with Stripe for payment processing purposes.
