Effective Date: Upon publication at https://www.dotartisan.com/

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using the DotArtisan website located at https://www.dotartisan.com/ (the "Site") and its associated services (collectively, the "Platform"), you ("User," "you," or "your") acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"), our Privacy Policy, and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Platform.

2. Definitions

• "Buyer" means a User who purchases or licenses Digital Products through the Platform.
• "Seller" means a User who submits, sells, or licenses Digital Products through the Platform.
• "Digital Product" means a digital good, including but not limited to software code, scripts, plugins, themes, templates, graphics, audio, video, documentation, or tutorials, made available for purchase or license on the Platform.
• "Content" means any data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags, or other materials uploaded, posted, transmitted, or made available by Users on the Platform.
• "User Account" means the personalized section of the Platform accessible after registration.

3. User Accounts and Registration

3.1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction to register an account and use the Platform. By registering, you represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.

3.2. Account Creation and Security

You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration.
• Maintain and promptly update your account information.
• Maintain the confidentiality of your password and accept full responsibility for all activities under your account.
• Notify DotArtisan immediately of any unauthorized use or security breach.
• Use your account for personal, non-commercial purposes only (except for Sellers operating as authorized businesses).

DotArtisan reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts with inaccurate, false, or outdated information.

4. Marketplace License and Transaction Framework

4.1. Nature of the Platform

DotArtisan operates as a transactional intermediary, not a party to the license agreement between Buyer and Seller. We provide the infrastructure to facilitate the listing, promotion, and sale of Digital Products.

4.2. Seller License Grant

Upon a Buyer's valid purchase, the Seller grants the Buyer a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to use the Digital Product as defined in the Item Specific License attached to each product listing. Sellers may offer multiple license types (e.g., Regular, Extended). The specific terms, not these general Terms, govern the use of the Digital Product.

4.3. Buyer's Responsibilities

Buyers agree to:

• Use Digital Products solely in accordance with the purchased license type.
• Not redistribute, resell, lease, or sublicense the Digital Product in a manner that competes with the original Seller's sales.
• Not seek a refund for "unused" items after digital access is granted.

4.4. Seller's Warranties and Obligations

Sellers represent and warrant that:

• They are the sole owner or authorized licensor of all Content and Digital Products they upload.
• Their Digital Products are original, do not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights, and comply with all applicable laws.
• They will provide adequate support and accurate documentation for their Digital Products.
• Their products do not contain malicious code, viruses, or hidden harmful components.

5. Financial Terms

5.1. Pricing and Fees

Sellers set the price for their Digital Products. DotArtisan charges a commission fee (a percentage of the sale price) as displayed to Sellers upon account creation or in the fee schedule. All fees are subject to change with 30 days' notice to Users.

5.2. Payment Processing

All payments are processed through secure third-party payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). DotArtisan does not store full credit card details. Sellers may be required to provide tax information (e.g., W-9) for earnings reporting.

5.3. Refund Policy

Given the intangible nature of Digital Products, all sales are final once the product file is accessible or the license key is delivered. Refunds may be issued solely at DotArtisan's or the Seller's discretion in exceptional circumstances, such as:

• The product is materially defective or not as described.
• The product files cannot be downloaded.
• A duplicate purchase was made in error.

Refund requests must be submitted through the Platform's official channel within 7 days of purchase.

6. Content Rules and Prohibited Activities

6.1. Prohibited Content

Users may not upload, post, or sell Content that:

• Infringes copyrights, trademarks, patents, or other proprietary rights.
• Contains illegal material or promotes illegal activities.
• Is sexually explicit, obscene, or pornographic.
• Is defamatory, abusive, harassing, or hateful.
• Contains viruses, malware, or mechanisms designed to damage or compromise systems.
• Is falsely represented or misleads Buyers about functionality.

6.2. Prohibited Conduct

Users agree not to:

• Engage in fraud, misrepresentation, or phishing.
• Circumvent Platform fees or transact off-platform to avoid commissions.
• Manipulate reviews or ratings.
• Use automated systems ("bots") to scrape content or data.
• Interfere with the Platform's security or operations.

7. Intellectual Property Rights

7.1. Your Ownership

DotArtisan does not claim ownership over your Content or Digital Products. As a Seller, you retain all intellectual property rights. By listing a product, you grant DotArtisan a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to display, market, distribute, and modify (for technical purposes) your Digital Product solely to operate the Platform.

7.2. DotArtisan's Ownership

All Platform software, design, graphics, logos, and compilation of Content are the exclusive property of DotArtisan or its licensors and are protected by copyright and trademark laws.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

13. General Provisions
