Seller Agreement (DRAFT)
⚠️ Draft for review by a qualified attorney before use. Placeholders in {{ }}. This is the most important legal document on Cinderella because it is what lets us resell someone else's code — get it right.
Effective date: {{DATE}} · Provider: {{LEGAL_ENTITY}} ("Cinderella", "we")
By listing a repository, project, or idea ("Submission") for sale on Cinderella, you ("Seller") agree to the following.
1. Ownership & right to sell
You represent and warrant that:
- You are the sole owner of the Submission, or you have the full legal right and
all necessary licenses to sell and transfer it.
- The Submission does not infringe any third party's intellectual property,
and is not subject to a license (e.g. GPL, employer IP assignment, an investor/SAFE, or a client work-for-hire agreement) that prohibits its sale.
- No third party (co-founder, contractor, employer) has a claim to it that you
have not disclosed and resolved.
2. No secrets, no personal data
You agree not to submit live credentials, API keys, customer data, or personal information. Cinderella runs an automated scrub (see the Scrub Disclaimer), but the obligation to not upload such material is yours. You will review the scrub report and confirm the cleaned Submission before it is listed.
3. What is being sold
Unless a listing states otherwise, a sale transfers the code/assets and a non-exclusive assignment of your rights in them to the Buyer. You retain no right to resell the same Submission as exclusive. {{Define exclusivity, IP assignment scope, and whether the Seller may keep using the code.}}
4. Fees & payouts
Cinderella charges a {{PLATFORM_FEE_PERCENT}}% commission on each sale. Payouts are made via {{PAYMENT_PROCESSOR}} after a {{HOLDBACK_DAYS}}-day clearance/dispute window. You are responsible for your own taxes.
5. Accuracy of listings
Valuations shown are automated estimates, not guarantees of price or value. You are responsible for the accuracy of your title, description, and claims.
6. Prohibited submissions
Malware, stolen code, projects built to defraud, content that violates law or third-party rights, or anything designed to exfiltrate data post-sale.
7. Indemnity
You will indemnify Cinderella and Buyers against claims arising from your breach of Sections 1–2 (ownership, infringement, or leaked data you introduced).
8. Takedown
We may remove any Submission at our discretion, including on a credible infringement or data-exposure report.
*Seller attestation checkbox (required at listing time):* "I own this or have the right to sell it, and I have removed all secrets and personal data."
