7. Platform Rights and Intellectual Property

The Platform and all content provided by DevLoot (excluding user-uploaded content) are the exclusive property of DevLoot and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the Platform for lawful purposes only.

You may not:

• Reproduce or distribute DevLoot content without permission
• Remove or modify any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices

DevLoot respects intellectual property rights and expects all users to do the same. See ourDMCA Policy for information on reporting copyright infringement.

8. User Content

For content you upload to the Platform:

Grant of Rights: You grant DevLoot a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute your content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Platform.

Warranty: You warrant that you own or have rights to all content you upload, and that your content does not infringe on any third-party intellectual property rights or violate any laws.

Responsibility: You are solely responsible for your content. DevLoot does not endorse or assume responsibility for user-generated content and reserves the right to remove content that violates these terms.

By uploading content as a Creator, you represent that you are the original copyright holder or have obtained necessary permissions from all relevant rights holders.

9. Content Moderation and Removal

DevLoot reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to review, moderate, and remove any content that:

• Violates these Terms of Service
• Violates applicable laws or regulations
• Infringes intellectual property rights
• Contains malware or malicious code
• Is sexually explicit or exploitative
• Promotes violence, discrimination, or hatred

We may also suspend or terminate user accounts that repeatedly violate content policies. Creators who have content removed may request an explanation through our support system.

No content is guaranteed to remain on the Platform indefinitely. DevLoot may remove content for any reason, though we will generally provide notice when possible.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DEVLOOT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• Loss of profits or revenue
• Loss of data or information
• Interruption of service
• Defective products or services
• Damage to reputation or business

This limitation applies even if DevLoot has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of liability, so these limitations may not apply to you.

DevLoot's total liability to you for all claims arising from these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid to DevLoot in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DevLoot and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and partners from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from:

• Your violation of these Terms
• Your use of the Platform in an unlawful manner
• Your content infringing on third-party rights
• Your violation of applicable laws
• Your disputes with other users

This indemnification obligation shall survive termination of your account.

12. Dispute Resolution

Informal Resolution: Before initiating formal proceedings, we encourage you to contact us to attempt to resolve any disputes informally. Contact our support team at support@devloot.com with details of your dispute.

Governing Law: These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Arbitration: You and DevLoot agree that any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. Each party shall bear its own legal fees and costs.

Small Claims Court: Notwithstanding the arbitration provision, either party may bring claims in small claims court if the dispute qualifies for small claims jurisdiction.

13. Modifications to Terms

DevLoot may modify these Terms of Service at any time. We will provide at least thirty (30) days' notice of material changes by posting the updated terms on the Platform and updating the "Last Updated" date.

Your continued use of the Platform after notice of modification constitutes your acceptance of the modified terms. If you do not agree to the modifications, you should discontinue use of the Platform.

14. Termination

Termination by You: You may terminate your account at any time by contacting our support team. Upon termination, you will no longer have access to your account, though DevLoot may retain certain information as required by law.

Termination by DevLoot: DevLoot may terminate or suspend your account immediately, without notice, if we determine that you have:

• Violated these Terms of Service
• Engaged in illegal activity
• Violated intellectual property rights
• Posed a security risk to the Platform
• Repeated abusive behavior toward other users

Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately. DevLoot may delete your account and all associated content. Termination does not relieve you of obligations incurred before termination, including indemnification and intellectual property obligations.

15. Pre-Release Listings & Buyer Expectations

Some listings on the Platform are marked Beta or Alpha by the creator. These are deliberate pre-release labels for builds that are not production-ready. Badges are visible on the product card, detail page, and quick-view modal before you complete a purchase.

• Beta — feature-complete builds that may have rough edges, minor bugs, or incomplete documentation. Suitable for early-access use with realistic expectations.
• Alpha — early builds intended for testers willing to tolerate frequent breakage. Core features may be missing or change. Not suitable for production use.
• Stable (no badge) — production-ready listings.

Your Acknowledgement: By purchasing a listing marked Alpha or Beta, you acknowledge that the asset may not function as a finished product would, that the creator may issue breaking changes, and that update frequency may be higher than on a Stable listing.

Refund Eligibility: Our standard refund policy applies to pre-release listings. The stage label does not waive your right to a refund if the listing materially fails to match its description, nor does it automatically entitle you to one beyond the standard 14-day window.

Free Upgrades to Stable: Buyers of an Alpha or Beta listing receive future Stable versions of the same product at no additional cost, provided the product identity is retained across versions.

16. AI-Assisted Content Disclosure

Listings where the creator has self-disclosed generative-AI involvement display an “AI-assisted” badge on the product detail page and quick-view modal.

What It Means: The creator has disclosed that generative AI tools were used in a substantial part of the asset. This does not by itself mean the listing is AI-generated wholesale; it's a transparency signal so you can weigh it against your preferences before buying.

What It Does Not Mean: The presence or absence of the AI-assisted badge does not constitute a warranty by DevLoot that the listing is entirely human-made or entirely AI-made. Creators are solely responsible for the accuracy of their self-disclosure per the Creator Agreement.

Reporting: If you believe a listing has been mislabeled — either failing to disclose AI use where it was substantial, or incorrectly claiming AI involvement — report it via /contact. We review reports case-by-case and may require the creator to update disclosure or remove the listing.

17. DevLoot Pro (Creators)

DevLoot Pro is an optional paid subscription available to Creators. It reduces the DevLoot platform fee on direct sales, unlocks Creator Memberships (recurring subscriptions from followers), and enables additional tooling. Full Pro terms are in the Creator Agreement section 16.

Buyer Impact: Whether a creator is on the Free tier or Pro does not affect your rights or pricing as a buyer. Product prices, refund windows, and license terms are identical regardless of the creator's subscription status.

Pro Subscription Billing: Pro is billed by DevLoot (not via Stripe Connect) to the creator's payment method. Billing disputes related to a Pro subscription are between DevLoot and the subscribing creator, and are separate from any purchases buyers make from that creator's storefront.
