Terms of Service (DRAFT)
⚠️ Draft for review by a qualified attorney. Placeholders in {{ }}.
Effective date: {{DATE}} · Provider: {{LEGAL_ENTITY}} ("Cinderella", "we", "us")
1. What Cinderella is
Cinderella is a marketplace where people list software projects, repositories, and ideas ("Listings") for others to browse and buy. We provide automated scrubbing and valuation tools and facilitate payment. We are a venue; we are not the seller of Listings and do not warrant them.
2. Accounts
You must provide accurate information and are responsible for activity under your account. You must be legally able to enter contracts in your jurisdiction.
3. Buying & selling
- Sellers are bound by the Seller Agreement.
- Buyers purchase Listings "as is" after their own review. A completed sale
transfers the rights described in the Listing and Seller Agreement.
- Valuations are estimates, not guarantees, and do not set the sale price.
- Payments and payouts run through {{PAYMENT_PROCESSOR}}; a
{{PLATFORM_FEE_PERCENT}}% commission applies to sales.
4. Ideas ("ideas-only" Listings)
Some Listings are ideas without code. Ideas are inherently non-exclusive and hard to protect; buying an idea Listing purchases the written materials provided, not a monopoly on the concept. {{Clarify what an idea sale conveys.}}
5. Acceptable use
No uploading of malware, stolen or infringing material, live credentials or other people's personal data, or anything unlawful. We may remove Listings and suspend accounts for violations.
6. Intellectual property
Sellers retain ownership until sale and grant us a license to host, display, scrub, and market their Listings. The Cinderella name, site, and tools are ours.
7. Disclaimers & liability
The service, scrubbing, and valuations are provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by law we disclaim warranties and limit our liability to {{LIABILITY_CAP}}. See the Scrub Disclaimer.
8. Changes, termination, governing law
We may update these terms; material changes will be notified. We may suspend the service or accounts per these terms. Governed by the laws of {{JURISDICTION}}; disputes resolved in {{VENUE}}.
