Monetization & Wallet Terms

Specific rules for any feature that moves real money on the platform — escrow holds, scheduled payouts, the eventual /wallet service, and Stripe Connect transfers. Master ToS §§ 5 and 6 govern; this addendum is the long-form. The Creators addendum applies to creator earnings specifically.

1. Stripe is the holder of record

For every real-money flow on the platform, Stripe is the regulated party holding funds. Domainless operates the marketplace and the rules engine on top of Stripe Connect; we are not a bank, broker-dealer, or money transmitter.

2. Hold periods

Funds destined for another user (escrow, scheduled payouts, creator earnings) may be held until the agreed release date or until any open dispute resolves — whichever is later. Default hold is 7 days unless explicitly set longer at the point of sale.

3. Refunds and chargebacks

• Marketplace purchases (beat licenses, subscriptions) follow the per-product refund window disclosed at checkout, capped at 14 days.
• Chargebacks initiated through your card issuer are adjudicated by Stripe; we will provide our records to Stripe on request and may suspend the disputing account during adjudication.

4. Dispute window

For any escrow hold, both sides have a 14-day window to open a dispute. Disputed funds remain on hold pending resolution. We will mediate in good faith but reserve the right to defer to Stripe's underlying card-network rules where they conflict.

5. Disclosure

UI for any monetization feature must clearly state, before the user authorizes payment: (a) that funds are held by Stripe, not Domainless, (b) the platform fee, (c) the hold/release schedule, and (d) the refund window.
