Creator Terms

These Creator Terms apply when you publish or sell Assets on AssetLoom as a “Creator”. They supplement the Terms of Service, which also apply to you. If there is a conflict on a creator matter, these Creator Terms prevail.

The creator programme is being opened gradually and may not yet be available to you. Access is by application, and we decide whether to accept an application. When you are accepted, you will be asked to agree to the current version of these terms, and we record the version you accepted.

• You must be at least 18, have an approved creator application, and keep your creator profile accurate.
• You may sell as an individual or on behalf of a business. If you act for a business, you confirm you are authorised to bind it to these terms.
• To receive payouts, you must complete identity verification and set up a payout account with our payment provider, which is only available in supported countries. We may also ask for other information to comply with law, such as sanctions screening.

You keep all intellectual property rights you have in your Assets and other Content. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership to AssetLoom or to buyers.

You grant Anirudh Negi a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense to our service providers as needed to operate the Service, to:

1. host, store, copy, scan, validate, and process your Assets and Content;
2. create and display previews, thumbnails, renders, and excerpts, including watermarked or reduced-quality versions;
3. display and promote your Listings and profile on the Service and in our marketing, including newsletters, social media, search engines, and advertising for AssetLoom;
4. distribute Assets to buyers who purchase them; and
5. grant licenses to buyers on your behalf, on the license terms you selected for each Listing.

This license lasts while your Asset is listed and ends when you remove it, except that: licenses already granted to buyers continue on their terms; we may keep copies needed to let existing buyers download the versions they bought, to meet legal obligations, and to resolve disputes; and copies may remain in backups for a limited time.

For each Listing you choose which license types to offer: Personal Use, Commercial Use, Extended Commercial, Editorial Use, or a Custom License. You also set the Asset's AI-training permission separately (prohibited, allowed, allowed with attribution, or custom). See Licenses explained.

• A Custom License must be clear, lawful, and must not conflict with the Terms of Service or remove protections our standard licenses give buyers.
• Each sale records the exact license version the buyer accepted. If you change a license, it applies only to future sales. You cannot revoke a license already granted, except through our processes for refunds, chargebacks, and infringement.
• You must state an update policy for each Listing, which determines whether existing buyers receive new versions.

For every Asset and other Content you upload, you promise that:

1. it is your original work, or you have all the rights, licenses, and permissions needed to sell it and to grant the licenses described in these terms;
2. any third-party material in it (such as fonts, textures, HDRIs, scans, sound samples, base meshes, code, or AI model outputs) is licensed in a way that allows you to include it and allows buyers to use it under the licenses you offer, and you have disclosed it where its license requires;
3. you have releases from any identifiable people, and permission for any private property, trademarks, or designs that appear in it;
4. it contains no malware or hidden functionality, and the files work as described;
5. the Listing, including the description, previews, compatibility information, generation method, and AI-training permission, is accurate and not misleading; and
6. it complies with the Acceptable Use & Prohibited Content Policy and all applicable laws, including export control and sanctions laws.

Every Listing must disclose its generation method accurately: human-made, AI-assisted, AI-generated, scanned, procedural, remixed, or made from licensed source material. Where AI was used, you must:

• choose the correct method, and describe the tools used where this matters to buyers;
• make sure the terms of the AI tools you used allow you to sell the output commercially;
• not use AI to reproduce protected works or the likeness or voice of real people without permission; and
• for prompts and workflows, list the models, versions, and dependencies they were tested with.

We may label Listings based on the disclosure. Failing to disclose, or misdescribing, the generation method is a breach of these terms and may lead to removal of the Listing and other action.

Before a Listing is published, its files are scanned for malware and validated, and it goes through a quality checklist and human review. We may approve a Listing, ask for changes, or reject it, and we will tell you the reasons.

We are not obliged to publish or keep publishing any Listing. We may suspend, hide, or remove Listings or Content, or restrict your account, if we reasonably believe they breach these terms or our policies, infringe someone's rights, create legal or security risk, or receive a valid legal notice. We will tell you what we did and why, unless the law or safety prevents it, and you can appeal as described in the Acceptable Use & Prohibited Content Policy.

You set the price of each license in Loom Credits, within any minimum and maximum we set. We show buyers an approximate fiat equivalent for information.

We may run promotions funded by AssetLoom, such as giving buyers promotional credits. When a buyer pays with promotional credits, your earnings are calculated in the same way as if they had paid with purchased credits.

For each sale, we keep a commission and you receive the remainder as earnings. The commission rate depends on your membership plan and is set out in our published fee schedule, together with membership prices, the earnings hold period, and the minimum payout amount.

The commission rate and credit value in effect at the time of each sale are recorded with that sale and do not change afterwards. We will give you at least 30 days' notice of any change to the fee schedule that is less favourable to you. Changes apply only to sales made after they take effect.

• How earnings are calculated. Earnings are recorded in US dollars at the time of each sale, by converting the credit price at the credit value then in effect and deducting the commission.
• Hold period. New earnings are pending for the hold period stated in the fee schedule, so that refunds and chargebacks can be handled. After the hold period, earnings that have not been refunded or disputed become available.
• Payouts. You can request a payout of available earnings once they reach the minimum payout amount. Payouts are made through our payment provider to your verified payout account. We may delay or hold a payout while we investigate suspected fraud, a dispute, or a breach of these terms, and will tell you why where we lawfully can.
• Availability. Payouts may not be available in all countries or at all stages of the creator programme. Where payouts are not yet available, earnings continue to be recorded and become payable when they are.
• Earnings are not credits. Earnings and Loom Credits are kept in separate accounts. You cannot spend earnings as credits or convert credits into earnings.

Your earnings, holds, and payouts are recorded in an append-only ledger and shown in your creator dashboard. If you believe something is wrong, contact support@assetloom.io within 60 days.

When a sale is refunded under the Refund Policy, the earnings from that sale are reversed. If the earnings are still pending, they are cancelled. If they were already available, the amount is deducted from your available earnings; if that makes your balance negative, the negative balance is offset against future earnings and blocks payouts until it is cleared.

If a buyer's credit purchase is charged back after they bought your Asset, your earnings from that sale normally stay with you. We may reverse them if our investigation finds fraud or collusion involving your account.

You are responsible for your own taxes on your earnings. Before we make any payout, you must provide the tax information we or our payment provider request, which may include your PAN and GSTIN if you are in India, a US Form W-9 or W-8, or equivalent information in your country.

We may deduct or withhold taxes where the law requires, including tax deducted at source in India, and may report your earnings to tax authorities as the law requires, directly or through our payment provider. Amounts withheld are treated as paid to you.

• Don't buy your own Assets, arrange purchases to manipulate rankings, or review your own or competitors' Assets.
• Don't direct buyers who found you on AssetLoom to buy the same Assets elsewhere to avoid commission.
• Don't upload the same Asset repeatedly as different Listings, or list Assets you have already sold exclusively to someone else.
• Respond to reasonable support requests about your Assets, and fix defects promptly.
• Follow the Community Guidelines.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify AssetLoom, its affiliates, and their officers, employees, and agents against third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from your Assets or Content, including claims that they infringe intellectual property or other rights, or from your breach of these terms.

You can unpublish a Listing at any time. It will no longer be sold, but buyers who already purchased it keep their licenses, and we may continue to make the versions they bought available to them.

You can stop being a Creator by closing your creator account. Earnings that are pending or available at that time will be paid out once any hold period ends, subject to the minimum payout amount, refunds, chargebacks, and the conditions above. If the remaining amount is below the minimum payout amount, we will pay it out if the law requires us to or if you ask us to, where our payment provider allows.

We may suspend or end your participation in the creator programme as described in the Terms of Service. If we do so because of fraud, infringement, or a serious breach of these terms, we may withhold earnings connected with that conduct to cover refunds, chargebacks, and losses, to the extent permitted by law. Otherwise, earnings that are due to you will be paid in the normal way.

You are an independent creator. These terms do not create an employment, partnership, agency, or joint venture relationship, except that you appoint us as your limited agent to license and deliver your Assets to buyers and to collect payment for them.

We may update these terms. We will give you at least 30 days' notice of material changes and ask you to accept the new version. If you don't accept, you may stop selling and leave the programme as described above. Questions about these terms can be sent to legal@assetloom.io.
