Business Use</h2>\n<p>The Services are intended for merchants, platforms, and other business users.\nThey are not intended for consumer account use.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the\nServices, your products or services, your customers, and your payment activity\ncomply with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, sanctions, tax requirements,\nand industry obligations that apply to you.</p>\n<h2>2.

Stafiel does not require merchants to provide\nprivate keys as part of ordinary checkout operation. You remain responsible for\nwallet custody, wallet security, wallet compatibility, private keys, seed phrases,\nsigners, permissions, approvals, and any loss or compromise involving your wallet\nor signing environment.</p>\n<p>Stafiel-controlled platform roles may be used within the logic of applicable\nsmart contracts, on-chain programs, or payment infrastructure.

The default merchant refund window is 48 hours from order\ncreation unless otherwise configured at order creation. The refund window and\nrelated parameters are locked for that order when the order is created; later\nconfiguration changes apply only to new orders unless Stafiel expressly provides\notherwise.
