Primary Business Model: B2B SaaS Subscription

Dear Stripe Senior Risk Operations Specialist,

We are submitting this formal appeal regarding the recent notification received on our account regarding:
"We have determined that your business presents a higher level of risk than we are able to support. Because of this, we will no longer accept payments for your business and automatic customer refunds have been initiated."

We recognize the essential mandate of Stripe's underwriting team to mitigate card scheme liability and maintain strict compliance with Visa and Mastercard Core Rules. We write to provide verifiable evidence confirming that our operations represent a legitimate, fully compliant software business, and to submit our completed website rectification audit.

1. EXECUTIVE BUSINESS & FULFILLMENT CLARIFICATION
Acme Software Inc. is a bona fide software provider delivering B2B SaaS Subscription. All transactions processed through our account correspond to automated digital delivery or verified software access. We do not engage in unauthorized third-party brand distribution, predatory billing, or high-risk manual consulting.

2. ON-PAGE COMPLIANCE RECTIFICATION MATRIX
Prior to submitting this appeal, our technical team completed an extensive compliance overhaul across our public website (https://acmesoftware.dev):
   1. Embedded 4 unauthenticated legal links in site footer (Terms, Privacy, Refund, Legal Entity).
   2. Replaced ambiguous or 'sole discretion' refund clauses with an objective 14/30-day money-back policy.
   3. Placed point-of-payment recurring subscription disclosures directly adjacent to checkout submit button.
   4. Published physical registered corporate address and direct support email with 24h SLA.

3. ATTACHED EVIDENTIARY EXHIBITS (VERIFICATION DOSSIER)
To verify our corporate standing and eliminate underwriting ambiguity, we have attached the following evidentiary exhibits to this ticket:
   • Exhibit A: Certificate of Incorporation / Government Business Formation Filings.
   • Exhibit B: Recent Commercial Bank Checking Statement matching Stripe/MoR legal name.
   • Exhibit C: Signed Customer Invoices, Statements of Work (SOW), or Purchase Orders.
   • Exhibit D: Server Access Logs / Database License Key Delivery Telemetry (0.0% dispute rate).

4. ONGOING RISK MITIGATION & CARDHOLDER PROTECTION
We operate with a zero-tolerance policy regarding friendly fraud and dispute abuse. We maintain:
   • A strict 24-hour customer support SLA via dedicated email.
   • Immediate, self-service cancellation mechanisms accessible within all user dashboards.
   • Transparent, objective refund timelines with 0.0% historical dispute record across legitimate customers.

In light of the substantiated evidence and comprehensive site enhancements, we respectfully request a secondary review by a Senior Underwriting Officer to restore our account to active processing standing.

Underwriting Escalation Best Practices:

  • Do not spam live chat agents: Front-line chat agents lack override authority. Reply directly to the rejection email ticket or use the formal Dashboard Appeal form.
  • Always attach PDFs: Convert corporate filings and statements of work into clean PDFs labeled clearly (e.g. Exhibit_A_Incorporation.pdf).
  • Keep tone objective and factual: Avoid emotional complaints about lost sales; underwriters respond solely to contractual evidence and card scheme risk metrics.
