Terms of Service — Cashless Stand
Last updated: August 5, 2026 Effective: August 5, 2026
1. Agreement
These Terms are a binding agreement between you and AI Powered Mobility, the trade name of Justin DeLeon, a sole proprietor based in Maryland, United States ("we," "us," "our"), covering your use of the Cashless Stand mobile application and related services (the "Service").
By creating an account, continuing as a guest, or placing or accepting an order, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.
2. What the Service is — and what we are not
Cashless Stand is a technology platform and payment facilitator that connects independent vendors ("Stores") with buyers ("Customers") for physical goods handed over in person. Typical Stores are food stands, market stalls and pop-ups.
The Store is the seller and the merchant of record for every sale. We are not. We do not own, make, prepare, inspect, store, handle or deliver anything sold through the Service. Payments for a sale are processed directly on the Store's own payment account, and the Store's name is what appears on the Customer's card statement.
We are not a party to the sales contract between a Customer and a Store. We make no promise about any item's quality, safety, legality, allergen content, description or fitness for purpose. Disputes about goods are between the Customer and the Store.
The Service is not for shipped goods and not for digital goods. Every order is collected in person.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service, and at least 18 years old — or the age of legal majority where you live, whichever is greater — to operate a Store or act as a cashier. Store owners and cashiers enter into a payment-processing agreement with Stripe, receive payouts and take on tax obligations, all of which require full contractual capacity.
You must be able to form a binding contract and must not be barred from using the Service under applicable law. The Service is offered in the United States only.
If you register on behalf of a business, you represent that you are authorised to bind that business.
4. Accounts, guest use, and roles
4.1 Creating an account
You may sign up with an email and password, with Sign in with Apple, or with Google Sign-In. Give accurate information and keep it current.
4.2 Guest use
You may browse and complete a purchase without an account. You must supply a valid email address at checkout so we can send your receipt and so you can retrieve your order. Guest orders are retrieved using a private link; anyone with that link can view the order, so do not share it.
4.3 Security
You are responsible for your credentials and your device, and for everything done under your account. Tell us immediately at support@aipoweredmobility.com if you suspect unauthorised access. We are not liable for losses caused by your failure to keep your account secure.
4.4 Roles and what each may do
| Role | Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| Customer | Provide accurate contact and pickup information. Collect and pay for what you order. Do not make fraudulent orders or chargebacks. |
| Store owner | Everything in §6. You are the seller. You control your catalogue, prices, taxes, staff, hours, refunds and customer service. |
| Cashier | Take orders and payments on behalf of a Store, using access that Store granted you. Follow that Store's instructions. Your activity is recorded and visible to the Store owner. |
A Store owner may grant a person cashier access by inviting them or by issuing a join code. Invite codes expire. Grant access only to people you trust — a cashier can take payments in your name and see your order data. Revoke access as soon as someone stops working for you.
4.5 Deleting your account
You may delete your account in the app at any time (Profile → Privacy & Security → Delete Account). Deletion is permanent.
If you are the sole owner of a Store that is still live, you must first take that Store offline or add another owner. This protects Customers with orders in flight and funds still settling.
Your order history is not destroyed — it is anonymised. Your personal details are removed from past orders and receipts, and the orders themselves remain as the Store's financial and tax records with no link to you. This is described in full in our Privacy Policy.
5. Your content and licence
You keep ownership of what you upload — store logos and photos, product images and descriptions, store descriptions, order notes.
You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display and distribute that content for the purpose of operating and promoting the Service. The licence ends when you delete the content, except for copies already embedded in transaction records or in backups.
You represent that you own or are licensed to use everything you upload and that it infringes no third party's rights.
We may remove content that violates these Terms, is unlawful, or is the subject of a valid infringement claim, and may suspend repeat infringers.
6. Store obligations
If you operate a Store, you agree that you:
- Are the seller and merchant of record and are solely responsible for the goods you sell.
- Hold every licence, permit, health certification, food-handling certification and insurance your activity requires where you operate — we do not verify these.
- List items accurately: name, description, image, price, allergens and any legally required disclosures.
- Set correct prices and keep inventory accurate. The price we charge is the price stored in our catalogue at the time of checkout, verified on our servers.
- Set the correct sales tax rate and jurisdiction for your Store.
- Fulfil orders you accept, promptly and in person.
- Handle your own customer service, cancellations and refunds.
- Comply with all applicable law, including consumer protection, food safety, weights and measures, surcharge and price-disclosure rules, and tax law.
- Complete Stripe's identity verification and keep your account details current.
- Are responsible for your cashiers' conduct on the Service.
- Do not sell anything prohibited by §12, by applicable law, or by Stripe's restricted businesses list.
You indemnify us for claims arising from your goods, your business practices or your staff.
7. Orders
An order is created when a Customer checks out and payment succeeds or, for cash orders, when a cashier records the sale. Orders move through: pending → preparing → ready → completed, or are cancelled or refunded.
Inventory is briefly reserved while payment is processed, and is released automatically if payment fails or the reservation expires. If a reservation expires, your items may sell out before you can pay. Placing an order is not a guarantee of availability until payment succeeds.
Supported payment paths: online card, Apple Pay, Tap to Pay on iPhone (contactless card or wallet tapped against the vendor's iPhone), and cash recorded in the app.
8. Payments and Stripe
8.1 How money moves
All card payments are processed by Stripe. The charge is created directly on the Store's own Stripe connected account — the Store is the merchant of record, and the Store's name appears on the Customer's statement.
Who a Customer contacts about a charge. The email address on the Store owner's account is passed to Stripe as that Store's customer-facing support contact when the Store's Stripe account is created, alongside the Store's name on the statement. A Customer who queries, questions or disputes a charge on their card statement is directed to the Store, not to us. Stores must therefore keep that mailbox monitored; the account email cannot currently be changed in the app, so to change it, email support@aipoweredmobility.com.
We never receive, hold or store your card number, security code or bank details. Stripe collects and tokenises card details directly, and we only ever see a payment reference and an amount.
By using payment features you also agree to Stripe's terms, including the Stripe Services Agreement and, for Stores, the Stripe Connected Account Agreement. Stores also agree to Apple's Tap to Pay on iPhone Terms and Conditions where they use that feature.
8.2 Fees
What the Customer pays. At checkout, a Customer sees the item subtotal, a separately stated convenience/processing fee, and tax. The convenience fee covers the card processing cost plus our margin. It is shown to the Customer in full before payment.
What the Store receives. The Store nets exactly the item subtotal. Our margin and the card processing cost are funded by the Customer's convenience fee — they are not deducted from the Store's sale price — and Stores do not separately pay Stripe's per-transaction fee for sales made through the Service. Mechanically, the combined amount is collected as a Stripe application fee at the time of the charge.
Rates. Our margin is published in the app and may change; we will give notice before an increase takes effect. The exact figures for any given order appear on the order record and in the Store's dashboard and monthly statements.
Fees are exclusive of taxes unless stated. Fees already earned on a completed transaction are not refundable to the Store except where a sale is refunded, in which case the fee is reversed with it.
8.3 Payouts
Funds settle to the Store's Stripe connected account on Stripe's standard payout schedule, subject to Stripe's verification, reserve and risk requirements. We do not hold Store funds and we cannot release, accelerate or withhold a Stripe payout. Payout problems are resolved with Stripe.
8.4 Taxes
The Store sets the sales tax rate and jurisdiction for its own Store, and tax is calculated on the item subtotal and shown at checkout. Each order records the rate applied and the jurisdiction, and Stores can export monthly statements for their own filings.
Sales tax remittance responsibility is currently being finalised and will be stated in this section. Until it is, nothing in these Terms allocates that responsibility to either party, and Stores should not rely on these Terms when determining their own sales tax filing obligations. We will notify Stores in the app and update this section — changing the "Last updated" date — once the position is confirmed. Stores with questions about their filing obligations in the meantime should consult their own tax adviser.
Each party is responsible for its own income taxes. Stripe may issue Stores a Form 1099-K where the law requires it.
9. Refunds, cancellations and disputes
9.1 Who decides
Refunds are available, but they are not guaranteed, and they are the Store's decision alone. Stores are independent businesses operating on the Service. Each Store is the seller and merchant of record for its own sales, and a Store may decline a refund request.
How to ask for one. Because goods are prepared and handed over in person, raise it with the Store directly and verbally, in person at the stand, before you take the goods. Once you have received the product, the sale is final and the Store is under no obligation to refund it. There is no refund request control in the app — Customers cannot start a refund themselves.
What a Store can do. A Store owner can issue a full refund for an order from the order screen in the app. When they do, the money returns to the Customer's original payment method and our fee is reversed with it.
One case is automatic, not discretionary: if a Store cancels an order the Customer has already paid for by card or Tap to Pay, the app refunds that payment in full to the original payment method as part of the cancellation. A Store cannot cancel a paid order and keep the money.
We do not issue refunds. We are not the seller and we do not hold Store funds. Apart from the automatic case above, we cannot compel a Store to issue a refund. Nothing in this section limits a Customer's chargeback or dispute rights with their card issuer, including rights under Regulation E (debit) and Regulation Z (credit).
9.2 How to get help
Contact the Store first. If you cannot reach the Store or believe something went seriously wrong, email support@aipoweredmobility.com. We will make reasonable efforts to help both sides reach a fair outcome. We are not obliged to refund a completed, legitimate transaction, and helping is not an admission that we are a party to the sale.
9.3 Cash orders
Cash is handled directly between the Customer and the Store. The app only records the sale. Cash refunds are handled in person by the Store.
9.4 Chargebacks
If a Customer disputes a card payment with their bank, Stripe manages the dispute process. We may submit evidence about the transaction on the Store's behalf, including order details, the recorded acceptance of the checkout disclosure, and location data recorded when the vendor marked the order ready or completed. See our Privacy Policy.
Filing a chargeback for goods you actually received is fraud. We may suspend accounts that do it.
10. Notifications
We send transactional notifications about orders, team invitations and store events. You can turn push notifications off in iOS Settings or in the app. Some notifications about active transactions and legally required notices cannot be disabled while you are transacting.
11. Device permissions
Camera and photo library access are optional and are requested in context. Denying them limits related features (image uploads, barcode scanning) but does not prevent you using the Service.
Location is optional for Customers — denying it only turns off nearby-store ranking, and you can still browse and buy. For Stores and cashiers it is not optional: our card-payment provider requires location access in order to accept in-person card payments and disables them when the device's location cannot be determined, and denying it also prevents us recording the fulfilment evidence used to defend chargebacks. See our Privacy Policy, §2.4.
Tap to Pay on iPhone requires a supported device and the acceptance of Apple's terms.
12. Acceptable use
You must not:
- Sell or attempt to buy anything illegal, or anything on Stripe's restricted businesses list — including weapons, controlled substances, counterfeit goods, stolen property, or age-restricted goods you are not licensed to sell.
- Misrepresent what you are selling, or advertise a price you do not honour.
- Use the Service to launder money, to test stolen cards, to structure transactions, or to move funds unrelated to a genuine sale of goods.
- Place fake orders, manipulate prices, or file bad-faith chargebacks.
- Tamper with the app, its network traffic or its pricing; reverse-engineer, decompile or scrape the Service; or bypass any security, rate limit or access control.
- Access accounts, stores or data you are not authorised to access.
- Upload malware, or content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, harassing or obscene.
- Impersonate any person or business.
- Use the Service to harass or endanger anyone.
We may investigate suspected violations and suspend or terminate access, with or without notice.
13. Third-party services
The Service depends on Stripe, Apple, Google, Supabase, Expo, Resend and Sentry. Their own terms govern their services, and we are not responsible for their acts, omissions or outages. Our Privacy Policy lists each and links its privacy policy.
14. Intellectual property
The app, its name, logo, design, code and content (other than user content) are ours or our licensors', and are protected by intellectual property law. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app for its intended purpose. You get no other rights.
15. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that any Store, Customer, product or transaction will meet your expectations.
We specifically disclaim any warranty regarding goods sold by Stores. We do not inspect, approve or endorse them.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
16. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither we nor our officers, directors, employees or agents are liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill or business opportunity, arising out of or related to the Service, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility.
Our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the total platform fees we actually received from you in the three months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US $100.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
17. Indemnification
You will indemnify, defend and hold harmless AI Powered Mobility and its officers, directors, employees and agents from any claim, liability, damage, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: your use of the Service; your breach of these Terms or of any law; your content; for Stores, the goods you sell and how you run your business; and your infringement of any third party's rights.
18. Termination
By you: stop using the Service, or delete your account in the app (subject to §4.5).
By us: we may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if we suspect fraud or unlawful activity, if required by law or by a payment provider, or if we discontinue the Service.
On termination: your right to use the Service ends. Completed transactions, and our and the Store's records of them, are unaffected. Sections 2, 5 (surviving licence), 8 (accrued fees), 9, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19 and 20 survive.
19. Governing law and disputes
Governing law: the laws of the State of Maryland, United States, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. Where a dispute is not subject to arbitration under this section, it will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Maryland, and you and we each consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
Informal resolution first. Before starting any formal proceeding, email support@aipoweredmobility.com describing the dispute. We will try in good faith to resolve it within 60 days.
Arbitration. If we cannot resolve it informally, disputes will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in Maryland. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class action waiver. You and we each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective or representative proceeding.
Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief for intellectual property infringement or unauthorised access, without first arbitrating.
Your right to opt out of arbitration. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and the class action waiver in this section by emailing support@aipoweredmobility.com within 30 days of the date you first accept these Terms, stating your name, the email address on your account, and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out affects no other part of these Terms, and we will not retaliate against you for opting out. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Maryland.
20. Apple App Store — required acknowledgment
You acknowledge and agree that:
- These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple. Apple is not a party to this agreement.
- We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the app and its content.
- Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the app.
- If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our sole responsibility.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app or your use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or privacy law.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any third-party claim that the app infringes intellectual property rights.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the app.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
21. General
Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us on this subject and supersede prior agreements.
Changes. We may update these Terms. We will change the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, notify you in the app or by email. Continued use after the change means acceptance.
Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
No waiver. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of government, network or infrastructure outages, and payment-provider failures.
Notices. We may notify you in the app, by push notification, or by email to your account address.
