Seller Terms of Service

Version 1.0 ยท Effective July 16, 2026

Plain-English summary: You may only sell work you own, your listings must be honest, and you must stand behind what you sell. Buyers get a 4-day dispute window for broken or misrepresented products - refunds for seller fault come out of your balance. Ticking the box when you open your store is your electronic signature on these Terms.

1. The Agreement and How You Accept It

These Seller Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a legally binding contract between you (the "Seller") and The Real Dev Shop (the "Platform"). You accept these Terms by ticking the acceptance checkbox when you apply to open a store. Ticking the checkbox constitutes your electronic signature with the same legal force as a handwritten signature under applicable electronic-transactions laws (including the U.S. E-SIGN Act and UETA where they apply). The Platform records the date, time, account, and IP address of your acceptance.

These Terms apply to every store you own, every member you grant access to your store, and every product you list. They supplement - and where they conflict, take precedence over - the general Terms of Service for your activity as a seller.

2. Eligibility and Your Account

  • You must provide accurate account and store information and keep it current, including your payout details and notification email.
  • You are responsible for everything done through your store, including actions taken by store members you invite. Granting a member access does not transfer any of your obligations under these Terms.
  • Stores and products are subject to review before going live. The Platform may approve, reject, or require changes at its discretion, and approval may be withdrawn if a listing later proves non-compliant.

3. You May Only Sell What You Own

By listing a product you represent and warrant that:

  • The work is your own original creation, or you hold all rights and licences needed to sell it and to grant buyers the licence described in the Purchase Agreement;
  • The product does not infringe any third party's copyright, trademark, or other rights, and does not contain leaked, stolen, pirated, or re-uploaded content from any source - including content purchased on this Platform;
  • The product contains no malware, backdoors, obfuscated remote-execution hooks, data harvesting, or any code that acts against the buyer's interests.
Anti-leak enforcement: Files delivered to buyers are watermarked with the buyer's identity. Seller uploads are automatically scanned for buyer watermarks - attempting to re-sell a file bought on the Platform is detected, blocked, and logged. Verified violations result in permanent termination and forfeiture of the related balance under Section 9.

4. Honest Listings

  • Titles, descriptions, prices, images, GIFs, and videos must accurately describe what the buyer receives. A listing that materially misrepresents a product is grounds for buyer refunds at your cost and for removal of the listing.
  • Preview media must show the actual product. Do not advertise features the delivered files do not contain.
  • You are responsible for the pricing you set, including sales and coupon discounts you create. Coupon discounts are absorbed by you, not the Platform.

5. Buyer Disputes and Refunds

Every sale you make is governed by the buyer's Purchase Agreement, which you accept as binding on you as the Seller of record. In particular:

  • Buyers may open a dispute within 4 days of purchase, only for products that do not work or were misrepresented.
  • You must respond to an open dispute within 48 hours of each buyer turn. If you do not respond in time, the dispute is referred to a Platform administrator for a decision, which may be made without your input.
  • You may resolve a dispute by fixing the product or supplying a corrected file. A working remedy satisfies your obligation and no refund is owed.
  • Refunds upheld for seller fault (broken files, misrepresentation) are deducted from your balance at the price the buyer actually paid. The Platform's dispute decisions are final within the Platform.

6. Fees, Balances, and Payouts

  • The Platform deducts a commission from each sale at the rate published at the time of sale (currently 8%). Payment-processor fees are also deducted where applicable. Rates may change prospectively with notice; changes never apply retroactively to completed sales.
  • Sale proceeds are held for 7 days after each sale while the buyer-protection window runs, then released automatically to your available balance. Proceeds of disputed orders remain held until the dispute resolves.
  • Withdrawals are paid through the payout methods offered in your dashboard. You are responsible for the accuracy of your payout details; funds sent to details you supplied are considered paid.
  • You are solely responsible for any taxes, reporting, and legal obligations arising from your sales in your jurisdiction. The Platform does not withhold taxes on your behalf.
  • Balances obtained through fraud, self-purchases designed to manipulate rankings, or other abuse may be frozen and reversed.

7. Prohibited Conduct

You must not:

  • List content that is illegal, infringing, hateful, sexually explicit, or targets minors inappropriately;
  • Manipulate rankings, reviews, or sales counts (including buying your own products, review exchanges, or incentivised reviews);
  • Direct buyers off-platform to complete or settle transactions that originated on the Platform;
  • Circumvent the dispute process, moderation, upload scanning, or any other Platform safeguard;
  • Open multiple accounts to evade a suspension or restriction.

8. Intellectual Property and DMCA

You retain ownership of your work. You grant the Platform a non-exclusive licence to host, display, and promote your listings (including images and previews) for the operation and marketing of the marketplace. The Platform operates a DMCA takedown process; listings subject to a valid takedown notice are removed, and repeat infringers are terminated.

9. Suspension and Termination

  • You may close your store at any time; obligations for sales already made (disputes, refunds, licences granted to buyers) survive closure.
  • The Platform may suspend or terminate stores that violate these Terms, with the severity matched to the violation. Serious violations - leaked or stolen content, malware, fraud - result in immediate permanent termination.
  • On termination for cause, pending balances may be withheld for up to 180 days to cover open disputes, refunds, and chargebacks arising from your sales, after which any lawful remainder is paid out.

10. Liability

You indemnify the Platform against claims arising from your products, your listings, or your breach of these Terms. The Platform provides the marketplace "as is" and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, is not liable for lost profits or indirect damages; its aggregate liability to you is limited to the fees it earned from your sales in the 6 months preceding the claim.

11. General Terms

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, the Terms of Service, the Purchase Agreement, the Refund Policy, and the Privacy Policy together govern your selling activity.
  • Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest continue in full force.
  • No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
  • Amendments. The Platform may publish updated versions of these Terms and will notify sellers of material changes. Continuing to operate your store after notice constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
