Stack Healthcare, Inc - Platform Terms of Use

Last Updated: May 20, 2026

Healthcare benefits operate inside legal and financial frameworks. Accessing coverage, reimbursements, and related services requires clear rules about how the Platform works and what responsibilities apply.

Stack exists to simplify access to coverage, reimbursements, and care navigation. These Terms describe the conditions under which you may use the Platform, the services we provide, and the boundaries that protect users, employers, and the system itself.

We design the Platform to operate within applicable federal and state laws, including insurance, healthcare, and financial regulations where they apply. These Terms describe how that structure works in practice.

The Platform is offered only to users located in the United States and is intended for use only by U.S. residents and U.S.-domiciled businesses. The Platform is not offered or directed to users outside of the United States.

I. Agreement & Scope

A. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Stack Healthcare Inc. (“Stack,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing, registering for, or using the Platform or any Services, you:

If you access the Platform on behalf of another individual or entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that individual or entity to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Platform.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of the Platform after any changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

B. Who We Are and What We Do

Stack operates a technology platform that supports access to health benefits and related services (the “Platform”).

Stack provides administrative, technology, brokerage, marketplace, and financial integration services depending on context. Our Services may include:

Stack may act in different capacities depending on the Service provided, including:

Stack’s role is limited to the specific function being performed in connection with a given Service. Stack does not assume responsibilities beyond those expressly described in these Terms or in any applicable separate agreement.

Insurance coverage decisions are made solely by insurance carriers. Insurance contracts exist solely between you and the applicable carrier.

Where brokerage services are provided, they are provided by Stack Healthcare, Inc. and are subject to applicable state insurance licensing laws and required disclosures.

Nothing on the Platform constitutes medical advice, legal advice, tax advice, or a guarantee of eligibility, coverage, or regulatory compliance.

You acknowledge that the Platform provides administrative tools, information, and access to services, but does not make decisions on your behalf. Any decisions regarding insurance selection, healthcare services, financial transactions, or benefit usage are made by you or the applicable third-party provider. You are responsible for reviewing applicable plan documents, carrier policies, financial agreements, and other governing terms and for determining whether any product, service, or information meets your needs.

C. Scope of Agreement and Incorporated Terms

These Terms govern your access to and use of the Platform and all Services made available through it.

The Platform operates within a network of regulated relationships. Depending on how you access or use the Platform, additional agreements, disclosures, or policies may apply, including but not limited to:

All such agreements are incorporated into these Terms by reference where applicable. Violation of these agreements constitutes a breach of these Terms and may result in suspension or termination of Services.

Financial Partner Agreements and brokerage-related disclosures may impose additional obligations, authorization requirements, and dispute resolution provisions that apply independently of these Terms. Your use of financial or brokerage-related Services is conditioned on acceptance of those agreements.

If there is a conflict among governing documents, the following order of precedence applies:

  1. Applicable law and regulatory requirements;
  2. Financial Partner Agreements, for financial services governed by those agreements;
  3. Employer-sponsored plan documents and applicable employer administrative agreements, for benefit design, eligibility, reimbursement, and plan administration matters;
  4. These Terms, for Platform access and user conduct;
  5. Other incorporated policies, to the extent consistent with the foregoing.

For clarity, these Terms govern use of the Platform interface and related user obligations, and do not amend plan design terms or employer administrative obligations.

Except as expressly stated, no agreement between Stack and any employer, broker, carrier, or partner creates third-party beneficiary rights for you.

D. Alternate or Program-Specific Agreements Control

Certain features, products, or programs offered through the Platform may be subject to separate agreements, including financial account agreements, cardholder agreements, reimbursement program terms, marketplace disclosures, brokerage disclosures, or employer administrative agreements.

If you enter into a separate written or electronic agreement governing a specific feature or program, that agreement controls with respect to that feature or program to the extent of any conflict with these Terms.

These Terms continue to govern your general access to and use of the Platform unless expressly stated otherwise in the applicable separate agreement.

Stack does not control underwriting decisions, premium pricing, claims determinations, or ongoing availability of Marketplace Offerings.

Marketplace products and services may be added, modified, or removed at any time.

D. No Endorsement or Guarantee

The inclusion of any Marketplace Offering on the Platform does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee by Stack. Marketplace Offerings are provided by independent third parties, and Stack does not warrant the quality, suitability, availability, or performance of any such offering.

E. User Responsibility for Selections

You are solely responsible for evaluating and selecting any Marketplace Offering, including reviewing all applicable terms, disclosures, and agreements provided by the third-party provider. You acknowledge that your decisions regarding insurance coverage, healthcare services, and financial products are made independently of Stack.

Stack is not a party to any agreement between you and a Marketplace provider unless expressly stated.

G. Compensation Disclosure

Stack may receive compensation from third-party providers in connection with Marketplace Offerings, as permitted by law. Such arrangements do not modify your obligations under these Terms or the terms of any third-party agreement, and do not constitute an endorsement of any Marketplace Offering.

Where brokerage services are provided by an affiliated or third-party agency, that agency operates under its own licensure and regulatory obligations.

Brokerage services are subject to applicable state insurance laws, carrier requirements, and required regulatory disclosures. Not all users or Marketplace Offerings involve brokerage services, and availability may vary by jurisdiction and product.

Approval of coverage and policy issuance are determined solely by the applicable insurance carrier. Stack does not control underwriting decisions, premium pricing, network design, benefit modifications, or claims administration.

Stack does not guarantee the availability of brokerage services in any jurisdiction or for any product.

B. Compensation Disclosure

Stack or its affiliates may receive compensation in connection with brokerage services, where permitted by law. Compensation structures may vary depending on the product selected and applicable carrier arrangements.

V. Financial Partner Services

The Platform may integrate with financial institutions, payment processors, banking providers, card issuers, and other financial service providers (“Financial Partners”) to facilitate reimbursements, premium payments, account verification, stored value services, or related financial transactions.

Stack is not a bank and is not a money transmitter. For the Stack Premium Payments program and related financial services made available through the Platform:

Stack Premium Payments is the program name used to describe the financial services described in this Section V. Stack Premium Payments is the program operated by Stack on top of services provided by Stripe Payments Company and its bank partners. It is not a deposit account, a checking account, or a savings account, and it is not a banking product.

Financial Partner services are subject to separate agreements and terms imposed by the applicable Financial Partner.

You remain responsible for amounts owed arising from inaccurate, unauthorized, or disputed transactions.

C. Reserves and Coverage-Related Payments

Stack may require that you provide or maintain a reserve as a condition of using, or continuing to use, the Services. If required, Stack will determine and communicate the reserve amount before debiting, holding, or designating funds in your connected financial account. Reserve amounts remain in, or are funded from, your connected financial account and are not held in Stack operating accounts.

Reserve amounts may be used to satisfy financial obligations you owe under these Terms, any applicable User Agreements, Healthcare Notices, Financial Partner Agreements, or other applicable agreements, including commitments to carriers and employees necessary to maintain plan coverages.

Stack may initiate payments or transfers from your connected financial account to third parties on your behalf solely as necessary to help maintain plan coverages. These payments may include payments to carriers on behalf of members and reimbursements or other payments to employees on behalf of employers. Stack does not fund these payments from Stack operating accounts.

You remain responsible for ensuring that sufficient funds are available in your connected financial account to satisfy all reserve obligations, coverage-related payments, amounts owed, and other commitments under the applicable agreements. Any unpaid amounts are immediately due and payable by you. Nothing in this section limits your responsibility for such obligations.

Stack and its Financial Partners may delay, block, or reject transactions as required to comply with applicable law or internal compliance policies.

You agree to provide additional documentation if reasonably requested for compliance purposes.

F. No Financial Advice

Nothing on the Platform constitutes banking, investment, tax, or financial advice.

You are responsible for reviewing and understanding the terms of any Financial Partner agreement before linking accounts or initiating transactions.

Except as required by law or expressly stated in these Terms, disputes relating to Financial Partner services must be resolved directly with the applicable Financial Partner, except as otherwise provided in Section V.I (Complaints Regarding Financial Services).

G. Required Third-Party Agreements

When you enroll an employer account or other entity in Stack Premium Payments or other financial services that rely on Stripe Payments Company and its bank partners, you will be required to separately review and accept the following agreements directly with Stripe and the applicable bank partner, in addition to these Terms, before the financial services can be activated:

If you are issued a Stack Premium Payments virtual card as an authorized user (for example, an employee designated by an employer to make benefit-related payments), then typically during card activation you will also be required to accept additional agreements directly with Stripe and the applicable bank partner, including:

These agreements are separate from these Terms and are not bundled into or replaced by your acceptance of these Terms. Acceptance of these Terms alone does not constitute acceptance of any Stripe or bank partner agreement. The then-current version of each agreement will be presented to you at the time of enrollment or activation, and continued use of the financial services is subject to your acceptance of and ongoing compliance with those agreements.

H. Transaction Receipts

For regulated money transmission transactions processed through Stack Premium Payments (including inbound funding to your financial account, outbound payments to insurance carriers or other recipients, and reimbursements or other payments to employees), you will be provided with a receipt or transaction confirmation as required by applicable law.

Receipts may be made available through the Platform, by email, or through a hosted URL provided by Stripe Payments Company. Where Stripe generates a money transmission receipt for a regulated transaction, Stack will share that receipt with you or make it accessible to you through the Platform.

You are responsible for retaining receipts and transaction records you may need for your own purposes, including tax, accounting, or plan administration purposes.

Depending on the nature of the complaint, Stack may escalate the matter to Stripe Payments Company or to the applicable bank partner (Celtic Bank or Fifth Third Bank, N.A.) and may direct you to contact the bank partner directly where required by their procedures or by applicable law.

This Section V.I governs complaints relating to financial services. Disputes between you and Stack relating to these Terms generally are governed by Section XII (Dispute Resolution & Arbitration). Nothing in this Section V.I waives or limits your rights under applicable law.

ICHRA premium payment facilitation, financial account services provided through Stack Premium Payments, and the issuance and use of Stack Premium Payments virtual cards are provided at no direct cost to users at this time. Certain underlying network or processing fees may be charged by third parties in limited circumstances, but Stack does not currently mark up or pass through those fees to users.
