Seller responsibility: Zerkuri provides marketplace infrastructure. Sellers remain responsible for the legality, ownership, accuracy, quality, licensing and tax treatment of the digital products they offer.
1. Scope
These Seller Terms apply whenever a user lists, offers or sells a digital product through Zerkuri. They form part of the agreement between the seller and Zerkuri and must be read together with the Terms of Service, Digital Product Policy, Refund Policy and other applicable marketplace rules.
2. Seller eligibility and verification
Sellers must provide accurate information and have legal capacity to sell the products they list. Before sales can be activated, sellers must provide the tax registration or tax identifier required for their seller activity and any legal, billing, contact and tax information reasonably required by Zerkuri. A seller who is required to be registered for tax purposes may not sell through Zerkuri without the required registration or identifier. Business sellers must keep their legal identity, business address, contact email and telephone number up to date.
Sellers must complete any onboarding or verification required by the applicable payment provider before they can receive payouts or, where necessary, before their products can be purchased.
3. Seller tax status and required information
Sellers must accurately declare their legal and tax status and provide a valid tax number, VAT number or other verifiable taxpayer identifier where required for their activity and country of establishment. Zerkuri may block or suspend selling until the required seller and tax information has been provided and, where appropriate, verified.
A seller may operate as a business or, where permitted by the law of the seller’s country, as a tax-registered individual. This classification concerns the seller’s relationship with Zerkuri and the seller’s own legal and tax obligations. For purchases processed through Zerkuri under the marketplace model, Zerkuri supplies the digital content or electronic service to the buyer in its own name.
4. Listings and product information
Sellers are responsible for ensuring that every listing is accurate, clear and not misleading. A listing should describe the digital product sufficiently for a reasonable buyer to understand what is included before purchase.
Sellers should clearly disclose relevant file types, important compatibility requirements, included files, intended use, licensing restrictions and any other material limitation that could reasonably affect a purchasing decision.
Product images, previews and descriptions must accurately represent the product being sold and must not create a materially false impression about what the buyer will receive.
5. Intellectual property and licences
A seller may only upload, advertise and sell content for which they have all necessary rights, permissions and licences. Copyright infringement, unauthorised redistribution, counterfeit content and the sale of third-party works without permission are prohibited.
Sellers are responsible for defining any licence granted to the buyer and for ensuring that the licence terms are lawful, understandable and consistent with the rights the seller actually holds.
6. Fees
For each successful sale, the seller’s contractual consideration is generally 87.5% of the relevant sale amount and Zerkuri retains the remaining 12.5% as its economic margin in the marketplace supply chain. The 12.5% is not a separately invoiced platform service fee to the seller. There is no monthly seller subscription fee, no listing fee and no separate payment-processing fee charged to sellers.
The seller amount may be calculated and allocated automatically during payment processing. The amount ultimately payable to the seller may also be affected by refunds, reversals, disputes, taxes, payment-provider adjustments or other deductions permitted by these Seller Terms or required by law.
Zerkuri may change its fee structure in the future. Material fee changes will be communicated where required and will apply prospectively in accordance with the updated marketplace terms.
7. Payments and payouts
Zerkuri currently uses Stripe Connect infrastructure for marketplace payments and seller payouts. Sellers may be required to maintain a valid connected payment account and complete identity, business, banking or compliance checks requested by Stripe.
Payout timing is not guaranteed by Zerkuri and may depend on the seller's country, verification status, payment method, banking system, payment provider schedule, risk checks, refunds, disputes or legal requirements.
Zerkuri may temporarily prevent purchases from a seller whose payout account is incomplete, restricted or unable to receive funds.
8. Refunds, reversals and disputes
A seller acknowledges that a completed sale may later be subject to refund, reversal, payment dispute, chargeback or other adjustment.
Where a transaction is refunded, the seller's earnings attributable to that transaction may be reversed or recovered through the payment infrastructure. Zerkuri may also reverse or refund the platform fee where appropriate.
Sellers must reasonably cooperate with legitimate investigations concerning defective files, misdescribed listings, intellectual property complaints, fraud, payment disputes or statutory consumer remedies.
Further information is available in the Refund Policy.
9. Self-billing and invoicing authorization
As a condition of selling through Zerkuri, the seller authorizes Zerkuri to issue invoices, credit notes, cancellation or correction documents and other transaction-related accounting documents in the seller’s name and on the seller’s behalf for transactions and adjustments processed through Zerkuri under this authorization.
This authorization applies only to transactions and related adjustments processed through Zerkuri. Zerkuri may use the seller's legal, billing and tax information provided during onboarding or later updates to prepare these documents.
The seller is responsible for ensuring that all legal, billing and tax information supplied to Zerkuri is accurate, complete and kept up to date. The seller must promptly update information that changes and remains responsible for the tax and legal consequences of its seller activity.
Where required for the invoicing process, Zerkuri may use a third-party invoicing provider and may establish or manage the technical connection necessary to issue documents on the seller's behalf. Documents issued under self-billing may contain the legally required self-billing indication.
Zerkuri records the seller's acceptance of this self-billing authorization, including the time of acceptance and the applicable version of these Seller Terms. The seller must not sell through Zerkuri without accepting the current required self-billing authorization.
Ending seller activity or closing the seller account does not invalidate documents already issued or remove obligations relating to previous transactions, refunds, corrections, tax reporting, accounting or legally required record retention.
10. Taxes and legal obligations
Sellers are responsible for understanding and complying with taxes, registrations, invoicing obligations, licences and other legal requirements that apply to their seller activity, except where Zerkuri is legally required to calculate, collect, report or remit a tax or other amount itself.
Zerkuri may request tax or reporting information from sellers and may disclose seller or transaction information to tax authorities or other competent authorities where required by law.
11. Prohibited seller conduct
Sellers may not manipulate marketplace systems, create fake purchases or reviews, use multiple accounts to evade restrictions, bypass Zerkuri fees, upload malicious files, intentionally misdescribe products, infringe third-party rights or use the marketplace for unlawful or deceptive activity.
Detailed restrictions concerning files and listings are described in the Digital Product Policy.
12. Moderation and account restrictions
Zerkuri may review listings, reports and seller activity and may remove or hide products, restrict sales, suspend an account or take other proportionate action where there is a reasonable basis to believe that marketplace rules or applicable law have been violated.
Zerkuri may also take urgent action where necessary to protect users, payment systems, intellectual property rights, platform security or legal compliance.
13. Reviews, ratings and marketplace metrics
Sellers must not manipulate reviews, ratings, favourites, views, follower counts, achievements, purchases or other marketplace signals. Zerkuri may remove fraudulent or abusive activity and may adjust statistics where necessary to preserve the integrity of the marketplace.
14. Ending seller activity
A seller may stop publishing products or stop selling through Zerkuri. Existing transaction, refund, dispute, tax, accounting and legal records may continue to be retained or processed where reasonably necessary or legally required.
Ending seller activity does not remove obligations arising from earlier sales, including obligations relating to refunds, intellectual property claims or legal compliance.
15. Changes to these Seller Terms
Zerkuri may update these Seller Terms as marketplace features, fees, payment systems or legal requirements change. The current version will be published in the Legal Center, and material changes will be communicated where required.
