1. Payment Terms:

Payment Processing:
Creators may set prices for their templates. Buyers agree to pay the specified fees for purchased templates. TaxDome may use third-party payment processors to facilitate transactions. TaxDome charges a commission on each sale. Revenue from template sales will be paid to creators on their connected bank accounts through the Stripe system, less TaxDome and Stripe commissions. Payments may be made on a regular basis as set by TaxDome.

Transaction Fees:
TaxDome reserves the right to charge transaction fees on purchases. Transaction fees will be clearly communicated to creators and buyers.

To receive payment for sold templates, creators must maintain an active TaxDome account linked to their TaxDome profile. Payment processing is contingent upon the creator’s compliance with TaxDome’s terms and conditions.

2. Language and Conduct Guidelines:

Participants in our marketplace are expected to communicate and interact respectfully. The use of profanity, hate speech, or any form of offensive language is strictly prohibited. TaxDome reserves the right to monitor and take appropriate actions, including the suspension or termination of accounts, in response to violations of this guideline.

3. Template Listing Restrictions:

Buyers who have downloaded a template from a creator may not, under any circumstances, list the same or slightly modified template for sale within the marketplace under their own or other creator account. This provision is in place to prevent the unauthorized duplication and resale of templates. 

Violation of this policy may result in the suspension or termination of the creator account.
