Payments and Stripe Connect Disclosure

Pay versus Settlement; provider roles; sandbox versus live.

Version 0.1.0-draft · Updated 2026-07-31 · Not effective · Status: attorney review · Explicit acceptance required when Active

ATTORNEY REVIEW REQUIRED — IMPLEMENTATION DRAFT. This document is not final approved legal language and must not be treated as Active policy.

Roles

TruSolve / VSN provides the Network surface and payment orchestration. Stripe (or another approved provider) processes payments. Connected accounts receive funds according to the configured Connect model.

Payment truth

Pay moves money. Settlement governs the agreement.

Payment alone does not accept, complete, transfer, or close a Settlement and does not issue a VSN Number.

Browser return does not prove payment. Checkout creation does not prove payment. Provider-confirmed webhook/state is authoritative where implemented.

VSN does not hold itself out as a bank or escrow provider unless an approved regulated structure expressly supports that claim.

Connect configuration (operations / counsel checklist)

Loss allocation, fee payer, KYC responsibility, refund and dispute ownership, and connected-account agreement acceptance depend on the configured Stripe Connect charge model and dashboard settings. This draft does not invent those allocations.

Sandbox and live modes must remain separated. Live payments require separate authorization.
