you must be at least 18 years old, or have the consent of a legal guardian, to participate as a creator.
2. intellectual property: you own your work
you retain full, exclusive ownership of all intellectual property rights in every work you submit to supply. this is non negotiable and cannot be waived or modified by any other provision of this agreement.
specifically:

you grant supply a limited, non exclusive, revocable license solely to display, reproduce, and promote your work for the purpose of listing and selling it on the platform. this license terminates immediately if you remove your work or close your account.
3. royalties: 80% to you, forever
you earn 80% of the gross sale price on every transaction involving your work. this rate is fixed in this agreement and cannot be reduced without your written consent. supply retains 20% as a platform fee to cover hosting, payment processing, customer support, and curation.
royalties are perpetual. there are no time limits, no expiry dates, and no buyout provisions. as long as your work is listed and selling, you earn.
if supply introduces a promotional discount on your work, the royalty is calculated on the discounted price. supply will not apply discounts greater than 30% without your prior consent.
4. payout schedule
earnings accumulate in your creator dashboard in real time. payouts are processed on the 1st of each month for all earnings from the prior calendar month, subject to a minimum threshold of $25.00 usd. earnings below the threshold roll over to the following month.
payouts are made via bank transfer or other methods we support at the time of payout. you are responsible for providing accurate payment details and for any taxes applicable in your jurisdiction.
supply will issue earnings statements for each payout period. you are responsible for reporting income in accordance with the laws of your jurisdiction.
5. content standards
all submitted work must be original, human authored, and owned by you. ai generated content is banned from supply with no exceptions. we believe that human made art deserves to exist at a premium. we will not compromise that standard.
we reserve the right to remove work that violates these standards, with written notice and a 7 day opportunity to remedy the issue before removal.
