Why is it absurd?

Do you think it's absurdly long? Their agreement in general is much shorter than any single one of the several I had to go through to get a merchant account and CC processing service before.

Is it absurd because you think the business types they mention are silly? Well, they are silly. But people do them.

Is it absurd because you are angry your business is on the list? Well, that's life. I, as a valid business owner who uses Stripe, am very glad Stripe protects their relationships / value / company / customer rep time by refusing to serve illegal or borderline illegal businesses, and those with ridiculously high rates of fraud. Yay!
