I've taken a look at the terms, and it seems to me like they are more for when Paddle acts as your ecommerce store rather than just your payment gateway. This is where the right to demo and sell the product shows up, because without that, you wouldn't be able to use Paddle to sell your product. Again, this is not the same as what Stripe is offering, it's more akin to Gumroad, Podia, and the like. Also, while I understand appeal to authority to not be the most trusting of options, it seems like many other well-known companies use Paddle, and I assume their legal teams have scoured through Paddle's terms of use, so it looks good enough for me.

I've taken a look at the terms, and it seems to me like they are more for when Paddle acts as your ecommerce store rather than just your payment gateway. That might have been the intent, but I see nothing in the terms that restricts the scope of those I mentioned to that situation. And the general "we can change anything we like and you can't easily sue us ever" would be inappropriate even in that situation. I assume their legal teams have scoured through Paddle's terms of use I respectfully suggest that this is an extremely dangerous assumption when you're talking about a binding legal agreement and the future of your business. I've occasionally had a real lawyer look at the terms for some very popular online services that we were considering using, particularly when I thought they looked risky, and received formal advice along the lines of, "Run away. Don't walk. Run."
