Terms of Service
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Devdazzle LLC, a New Mexico limited liability company with its registered office at Levent Mah. Cevdetpaşa Cd. No:1/1, Beşiktaş/İstanbul ("Devdazzle," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the Devdazzle platform, websites, applications, and services (together, the "Platform").
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms, to our Privacy Policy, and to the policies they bring in by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
Some activities are governed by additional terms. If you sell digital products, the Seller Agreement also applies to you. Conduct on the Platform is governed by the Community Rules, and what may be uploaded or sold is governed by the Content Policy. Where an additional agreement you accepted is more specific on a point, that agreement governs that point.
1. Who can use the Platform
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher, and able to enter into a binding contract. If you use the Platform for an organization, you confirm you are authorized to bind that organization, and "you" means that organization.
You may hold one account. Keep your login credentials secure; you are responsible for everything that happens under your account. Tell us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized use. The information you give us must be true, current, and complete.
2. What the Platform offers
Devdazzle is a marketplace and creative platform with three main services:
- Marketplace. Creators list digital products (such as 3D models, digital art, audio, fonts, templates, and other digital assets) for sale, and buyers purchase a license to use them.
- Freelancer services. Clients hire freelancers for paid creative work delivered through the Platform.
- Showcase and portfolio. Members publish portfolios and showcase their work.
We may add, change, or discontinue features. The Platform is provided on an "as available" basis.
3. Our role: seller of record
For purchases made through the Marketplace, Devdazzle sells the product to you as the seller of record, in its own name, as principal (a Reseller, or Merchant of Record). The creator licenses their content to Devdazzle for resale, and Devdazzle sells it and grants the applicable license to the buyer. This is how we are able to invoice, collect any applicable tax, and handle the transaction.
Because we sell as principal, payments you make are received by Devdazzle as its own funds in connection with its own sale, not as money held or transmitted on behalf of a creator. Our obligation to pay a creator their share is a separate contractual matter between us and the creator. Devdazzle is not a bank, money transmitter, trustee, or escrow agent, and does not hold customer funds on deposit.
4. Buying on the Platform
Licenses, not ownership. When you buy a digital product, you receive a license to use it on the terms presented at checkout (the license tier and the end-user license terms). You do not acquire ownership of the underlying intellectual property. The available license tiers are described on the Licenses page. Use outside the scope of your license is not permitted.
Prices and taxes. Prices are shown in the applicable currency. As seller of record, we calculate, collect, and remit any value-added tax, sales tax, or similar consumption tax that applies to your purchase, based on your location, and we issue or facilitate the receipt or invoice. The tax shown at checkout may differ by location.
Delivery and access. After a completed purchase, the product is made available to you for download or access through your account. We aim to keep purchased items available to you, but we do not guarantee indefinite availability of any specific file, for example where a creator withdraws a product or where it is removed for a legal reason (see Section 11).
Refunds. Digital products are generally non-refundable once they have been delivered or downloaded, except as set out in our Refund Policy, as required by mandatory consumer-protection law, or where a product materially fails to match its description or preview, is missing essential files, or contains malware or a material defect. Where the law gives you a right of withdrawal for digital content, we may ask for your consent to immediate delivery, which can affect that right. Nothing in these Terms removes consumer rights that cannot be waived under the law that applies to you.
5. Selling on the Platform
If you list digital products for sale, you also agree to the Seller Agreement, which sets out the full terms for creators, including the license you grant us to resell your content, our commission, payout timing and thresholds, reserves, taxes, refunds and chargebacks, and the warranties and indemnity you give. In summary, you keep ownership of your work, we resell it as seller of record, we retain a commission, and we pay your share to your connected payout account on the schedule described in the Seller Agreement. You are responsible for ensuring you hold all rights to everything you upload.
6. Freelancer services
When a client hires a freelancer, payment for the agreed work is collected when the order begins, and the freelancer is paid their share after the client accepts the completed delivery. Devdazzle is the seller of record for the service and pays the freelancer's share to their payout account.
If a delivery is not accepted, our dispute process applies, and its outcome may be a refund to the client, payment to the freelancer, or a split, based on what was agreed and delivered. Clients and freelancers are responsible for agreeing a clear scope before work begins, communicating through the Platform, and dealing with each other in good faith. The content, conduct, intellectual-property, and payout rules in these Terms and the policies they reference apply to freelancer work in the same way.
7. Your content and the license you give us
You keep ownership of the content you upload, including products, portfolio items, profile media, messages, and reviews ("Your Content"). So that we can operate the Platform, you grant Devdazzle a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, adapt for technical purposes, display, and distribute Your Content for the purpose of running, securing, and promoting the Platform and the services you use. For products offered for sale, the broader resale license in the Seller Agreement also applies.
You are responsible for Your Content and confirm that you have the rights to it and that it does not break these Terms, the Content Policy, or the law.
8. Acceptable use
You agree to follow the Community Rules (how to behave) and the Content Policy (what may be uploaded or sold). Among other things, you must not:
- Upload or sell content you do not have the rights to, or that is unlawful, infringing, or otherwise prohibited by the Content Policy.
- Harass, threaten, deceive, defraud, or impersonate others.
- Upload malware, attempt to breach security, scrape the Platform without permission, or interfere with its operation.
- Create multiple or fake accounts, manipulate reviews, ratings, sales, or rankings, or take a transaction off the Platform to avoid fees, taxes, or buyer protections.
We may, where the law allows, take action ranging from removing content to restricting features, suspending, or permanently closing an account, as described in Section 11.
9. How listings are ranked
Where we rank or order listings in search, category pages, or recommendations, the main parameters are the relevance of a listing to the search and filters used; the quality and completeness of the listing and its previews; engagement and sales signals such as views, sales, downloads, and ratings; recency and updates; price and license tier; and trust, safety, and compliance signals (including policy compliance and refund, chargeback, and dispute rates). No single parameter decides placement, and we may combine, weight, and personalize these parameters to improve relevance. We do not sell ranking, and we do not accept payment from creators for higher placement. This is a general description and does not require us to disclose any algorithm or trade secret.
10. Intellectual property
Our rights. The Platform itself, including its software, design, and brand features, belongs to Devdazzle and its licensors. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable right to use the Platform under these Terms. Nothing else is granted.
Reporting infringement. We respect intellectual property and act on valid notices. If you believe content on the Platform infringes your rights, submit a notice through the Copyright Report form, which has its own tracked process and counter-notice procedure. We act on valid notices, and we terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate cases.
11. Moderation, suspension, and termination
Our action. We may review content that is reported or flagged and, where we reasonably believe these Terms or our policies or the law have been broken, remove or unpublish content, restrict features, or suspend or close an account. Serious cases, such as child safety, fraud, malware, or threats, may result in immediate action without prior notice. Where the law requires, we will give an affected user a statement of reasons and information about how to appeal.
Effect on purchases. When a product is unpublished for an ordinary reason, people who already bought it generally keep access to their downloads, as described in our Refund Policy. When content is removed because it is unlawful or infringing, it is taken down fully and access is revoked, including for earlier buyers, because we cannot lawfully keep distributing it.
Closing your account. You may stop using the Platform at any time and ask us to delete your account. We handle deletion as a request, with a short cancellation window, and we anonymize your personal data after it, as described in our Privacy Policy. We may keep records we are required to keep by law, with your identity removed, and items others have already bought stay available to those buyers. Obligations that by their nature should continue, such as payment, indemnity, and the terms of licenses already granted, survive the closing of your account.
12. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Platform and all content and services are provided "as is" and "as available," with all faults, and your use is at your own risk. We disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that defects will be fixed, or that any particular sales, revenue, ranking, or results will follow.
We are not responsible for content created by users, for the conduct of any buyer, seller, freelancer, or other user, or for any use of content outside the Platform. This Section does not remove any warranty or right that cannot be excluded under the mandatory law that applies to you, including mandatory consumer-protection law.
13. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Devdazzle and the people and entities connected with it will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, goodwill, business, or data, arising out of or relating to the Platform or these Terms, under any theory, even if advised of the possibility.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you arising out of or relating to the Platform or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amounts you paid to Devdazzle in the six (6) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred United States dollars (USD 100).
These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited under the mandatory law that applies to you, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you are a creator, your own obligations to us, including your indemnity and payout-related obligations under the Seller Agreement, are not limited by this Section.
14. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Devdazzle and its affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your use or misuse of the Platform, Your Content, your breach of these Terms or any policy they reference, or your violation of any law or any right of another person. We may take over the defense of any claim subject to this Section at your expense, and you will not settle it in a way that affects us without our consent.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms and the policies they reference. We will post the updated version with a new effective date and, for changes that materially and adversely affect you and that are not required by law, we will give at least thirty (30) days' advance notice through the Platform or by email before they take effect. We may make changes on shorter notice where needed to address a legal, regulatory, security, or fraud risk, or where a change only benefits you. Your continued use of the Platform after a change takes effect means you accept it. If you do not agree, stop using the Platform and close your account.
16. Governing law and dispute resolution
Jurisdiction note. Devdazzle is a New Mexico limited liability company operating a global platform; these Terms are governed by the law of the State of Delaware and provide for individual arbitration as set out below. Because we sell to buyers as seller of record, the mandatory consumer law of a buyer's place of residence may also apply and may override the choices below for buyer-facing matters. These choices are intended to be enforceable and remain subject to confirmation by counsel.
16.1 Governing law. These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Platform, are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitration provisions below.
16.2 Talk to us first. Before starting any arbitration or court proceeding (other than a request for urgent injunctive relief), the party raising a dispute must first send a written notice describing the dispute and the relief sought, to us at [email protected] marked for the Legal Department, or to you at your account contact details. The parties will then try in good faith for thirty (30) days to resolve it. This step is a condition of starting proceedings.
16.3 Arbitration; class-action and jury-trial waiver. (This provision affects your rights. It requires most disputes to be resolved by individual arbitration and waives class actions and jury trials. It must be separately and conspicuously acknowledged when you accept these Terms.)
- Binding arbitration. Any dispute not resolved under Section 16.2 will be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (or, for international disputes, the AAA's International Centre for Dispute Resolution Rules), seated in the State of Delaware, conducted in English, before one (1) arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Class-action waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties waive any right to bring or join a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action, and disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis.
- Jury-trial waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties waive any right to a jury trial.
- Opt-out and preserved rights. You may opt out of this Section 16.3 by written notice to [email protected] within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. You may also have non-waivable rights to bring a claim in a local court or before a local body, and those rights are preserved to the extent the law requires.
16.4 Consumer and mandatory-law carve-out. Nothing in this Section removes the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of your place of residence, including any mandatory consumer-protection forum or law. Where the law requires a different governing law or forum, that requirement prevails.
16.5 Courts and time limit. Subject to the sections above, the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction, and the parties waive any objection to venue there. To the extent the law permits, any claim must be brought within one (1) year after it arises, or it is barred. Either party may seek injunctive relief in any competent court to protect intellectual property or confidential information.
17. General
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the policies they reference, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Platform and replace any earlier agreements on that subject. If these Terms conflict with a policy they reference, these Terms control unless the policy says otherwise.
Assignment. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our consent. We may transfer ours to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
Severability and waiver. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
Notices. We may give you notice through the Platform or by email to the address on your account. Send legal notices to us at [email protected] or Levent Mah. Cevdetpaşa Cd. No:1/1, Beşiktaş/İstanbul, marked for the Legal Department.
Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
No agency. These Terms do not create any partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship beyond the limited seller-of-record capacity described above.
Language. Where these Terms are provided in more than one language, the English version controls if there is a conflict, except where the law requires otherwise.
Electronic acceptance. You agree to contract electronically, and your acceptance has the same effect as a signature.
