Terms of Service Details

Fees and Services

Becoming an artist on Bitmunk is free. For every sale that occurs on Bitmunk, you will get a royalty that you set for that particular digital work. The royalty will be deposited into a Bitmunk financial account that you specify. The only time that you will pay money as an artist is if you are fined for providing a corrupt file, or otherwise misusing services on the network. You are not charged for listing digital content for sale or browsing for digital content to purchase. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with using Bitmunk.

Identity Verification

In order to register digital content on Bitmunk, you must provide a valid credit card. Your credit card will be used to identify you as a real world entity. You must also fill out and submit a content creator verification form which can be found on the Bitmunk website downloads page. There is no exception to this rule. It allows us to protect our users from malicious behavior.

We do not store your credit card number, it is only used to identify you and to deposit money into a Bitmunk account for future purchases. Every time you wish to deposit more money into a Bitmunk account, you will have to re-enter your credit card number. Your credit card billing name is stored, however, as it uniquely identifies you. You may use multiple credit cards to deposit money into your Bitmunk accounts, but the billing name must be the same. If you have any further questions about the use of your personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.

Fines

If a buyer files a complaint against you for selling a corrupt file, customer service will look into the situation and give the buyer a valid replacement file if possible. To prove that they received a corrupted file, the buyer must give us the file that was downloaded from a seller and that file must match the content that you uploaded - proving that you did, in fact, upload a corrupt file to the network. If you are found guilty of providing a corrupt file, you will be fined an amount equivalent to the cost of processing the complaint and giving the buyer a free download from Digital Bazaar.

If you consistently provide corrupt files, you will be suspended from the network. If you continue to provide corrupt files after your suspension has been lifted, you will be banned from Bitmunk.

Products and Pricing

Pricing on Bitmunk is determined by you, the creators of digital content, ISP's that provide the bandwidth for transferring those works, and our transaction fee.

Minors

Children (persons under the age of 18) are not authorized to use Bitmunk without the supervision of their parent or guardian. User accounts can be created for use by children, but the information contained therein must belong and identify their parent or guardian, not the child. If you are under the age of 18, you may only use Bitmunk under the supervision of your parent or guardian.

Changes to Terms of Service

From time to time we may need to modify our terms of service. We reserve the right to do so for any reason and without notice.
