Creator Terms
These terms set forth specifically for Creators are incorporated into and made part of the Terms of Service as if included therein verbatim.
Eligibility
You must be over the age of 18 years to offer for sale, sell, or otherwise dispose of Products using the Site and the Services. Or, if under the age of 18, have the express permission of a parent or guardian to use the Service for which they accept responsibility for all activity under your account.
Intellectual Property Rights
By using the Service, you are not transferring any ownership rights or other interests in any property, including without limitation any intellectual property, to Service Provider. To the extent necessary, you are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining any license authorizing a user or customer to use or granting a limited right of use to any of the Products you submit.
License
You acknowledge and agree that you are selling a royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Products which you submit. You will remain the owner and licensor of the Products; however, you acknowledge and agree that the purchasers may use the license to the full extent provided by law and as otherwise set forth in the TOS, which you acknowledge also states the terms of the license agreement between you and the user or customer. In the event that a user or purchaser misuses or breaches the TOS or uses the Product beyond the scope or in violation of the license, Service Provider has no obligation to take any action to prevent, enjoin, or seek damages with respect to such misuse or breach of the license. As the owner and sole licensor of the Product, you have the right to prevent, enjoin, or seek damages with respect to such misuse or breach. Nothing herein shall prevent or prohibit Service Provider from taking such action as is necessary or appropriate to enforce the TOS or seek damages for any breach of a user or customer in law or at equity.

Compliance with Taxing Authorities
Creator agrees to electronically submit a complete, accurate, and legally binding IRS Form W9 to Service Provider before any of Creator’s Products will be approved for sale on the Service.

Thereafter any monies not refunded, charged back, or otherwise withheld by a customer, user, financial institution, transfer agent, or processor, shall be paid to you on the last day of each month through the payment gateway provided. You are responsible for any transaction fees charged by any financial institution without limitation.
