Terms of Use

1. Definitions

• Builder. A user who lists software for sale on the Platform.
• Buyer.A user who acquires a license to a Builder's software through the Platform.
• Listing.A Builder's public description of software offered for license through the Platform, including required disclosures.
• License. The rights granted by a Builder to a Buyer when a Transaction completes, as further described in §10.
• Transaction. A purchase of a License initiated by a Buyer and processed through the Platform.
• Trust Layer. The combination of identity verification, escrow, staged code release, and dispute resolution that the Platform applies to Transactions.
• Dispute Window. The fixed period after a Transaction during which a Buyer may open a dispute on factual grounds (see §7).

2. Eligibility & accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a legally binding contract to use the Platform. Accounts are created and authenticated through Clerk; you are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for activity that occurs under your account.

Builders who wish to receive payouts and Buyers who wish to purchase above the escrow threshold must complete identity verification and any onboarding steps required by Stripe Connect. We may decline, suspend, or terminate accounts that fail verification, that we reasonably believe are fraudulent, or that violate these Terms.

3. The marketplace (license-only model)

The Platform is a license-only marketplace. When a Buyer completes a Transaction, the Builder grants the Buyer a license to use, modify, and deploy the software (as described in §10). The Builder retains copyright and may continue to license the same software to other Buyers. The Platform does not facilitate full transfer of ownership in this version.

Zero to Hundred is not a party to the License between Builder and Buyer. We provide the Platform, the Trust Layer, and the payments rails that make the Transaction possible.

4. Listings & Builder obligations

To create a Listing, a Builder must provide:

• A working demo or walkthrough video that fairly represents the software.
• A completed disclosure form, including any test environment credentials needed for evaluation.
• Accurate pricing and listing details.

By publishing a Listing, the Builder represents and warrants that (a) they own or hold sufficient rights in the software to grant the License contemplated by §10; (b) the software does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights; (c) the Listing is accurate and not misleading; and (d) the software does not contain malware, backdoors, or other code intended to harm Buyers.

We may remove or modify any Listing that we reasonably believe violates these Terms, applicable law, or the rights of others.

5. Transactions, escrow & code release

When a Buyer initiates a Transaction, payment is collected via Stripe Connect. The handling of that payment depends on the Listing price:

• At or above $100 USD (escrow + dispute window). Funds are held in escrow. Source code is released to the Buyer on a defined schedule so the Buyer can evaluate the software during the 7-day Dispute Window. If the Dispute Window closes without a timely factual dispute, funds are released to the Builder's payout account.
• Below $100 USD (instant code purchase). The Buyer receives the source code immediately upon payment. Sales below the threshold are final and are not eligible for the formal Dispute process described in §7.

We may apply additional holds for fraud, chargeback, or compliance reasons before releasing payouts.

6. License and IP

Upon a completed Transaction, the Builder grants the Buyer a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to use, modify, and deploy the software for the Buyer's own commercial or personal purposes. The Buyer may not resell or sub-license the software as a competing marketplace product. The Builder retains all copyright and the right to continue licensing the same software to others.

The Platform itself, including the Zero to Hundred name, brand, software, and design system, is owned by Zero to Hundred, Inc. and is licensed to you only for the purpose of using the Platform in accordance with these Terms.

7. Disputes between Builder and Buyer

For Transactions at or above the escrow threshold ($100 USD), a Buyer may open a dispute during the 7-day Dispute Window on one of the following factual grounds, and only these:

• broken test environment.
• misrepresentation.
• a bug that blocks evaluation.
• other factual grounds.

Disputes are reviewed by Zero to Hundred's trust team. We may request evidence from both parties, hold or refund funds, and issue a final decision. Outside the Dispute Window, sales are final. Sales below the escrow threshold are final at the time of purchase and are not eligible for this process.

Repeated, frivolous, or bad-faith disputes may result in suspension or termination of an account.

8. Fees & payments

Listing on the Platform is free. Zero to Hundred charges a 8% platform fee on each completed sale, deducted from the Builder's payout. Buyers do not pay a separate platform fee on top of the Listing price.

Payments are processed by Stripe Connect. By using the Platform you also agree to Stripe Connect's applicable terms and acknowledge that processing fees and currency conversion costs may be passed through to the relevant party.

9. Payouts & taxes

Builder payouts are sent to the Builder's connected Stripe account. Builders are responsible for the accuracy of their payout details and for any tax obligations arising from sales on the Platform, including sales, withholding, and income tax in their jurisdiction. We may collect tax information (e.g., W-9 / W-8 forms) and issue tax forms (e.g., 1099-K) where required by law.

The Builder is the merchant of record for the License granted to the Buyer; Zero to Hundred facilitates the Transaction but does not itself license the software to the Buyer.

10. User content & data

“User Content” means anything you submit to the Platform — Listings, demo videos, disclosures, messages, source code shared during a Transaction, and reviews. You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting it, you grant Zero to Hundred a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, and display it as necessary to operate the Platform.

You are responsible for the legality of your User Content. We may remove content that violates these Terms, applicable law, or the rights of others.

11. Privacy

Our handling of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy. By using the Platform you acknowledge that we and our processors (including Clerk and Stripe Connect) will process information about you to provide the Platform.

12. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to, and not to permit any third party to:

• Misrepresent your identity, control of an account, or rights in software you list.
• List or transfer software that infringes the rights of others, that contains malware, or that violates applicable law.
• Use the Platform to circumvent escrow or our fees (e.g., by introducing the parties off-platform after an initial Listing).
• Open disputes for grounds other than the four listed in §7, or repeatedly open disputes in bad faith.
• Scrape, reverse-engineer, or systematically extract data from the Platform other than via APIs we provide.
• Interfere with the operation of the Platform or other users' accounts.

13. Suspension & termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Platform at any time for violation of these Terms, applicable law, fraud or chargeback patterns, identity-verification failures, or to protect the safety of the marketplace. You may close your account at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (e.g., License grants already issued, IP, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law) will survive.

14. Disclaimers

The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any software offered through the Platform will meet a Buyer's requirements.

Zero to Hundred is not the licensor of the software you acquire from a Builder and makes no warranty regarding that software. Recourse for software defects runs through the dispute process in §7 (within its scope) or directly between Builder and Buyer.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Zero to Hundred, its affiliates, and its personnel will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Platform — even if advised of the possibility. Our aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Platform will not exceed the greater of (a) the fees paid by you to Zero to Hundred during the twelve months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim or (b) one hundred US dollars (US$100).

16. Indemnification

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Zero to Hundred, its affiliates, and its personnel from any third-party claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) your User Content, including any Listing or software you license; (b) your breach of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any law or rights of a third party.

17. Modifications

We may update these Terms from time to time as the Platform evolves. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when the document last changed. Material changes will be communicated by a reasonable means (such as a notice in-product or by email). Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

18. Governing law & dispute resolution (with us)

These Terms are governed by the laws of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflicts-of-law principles. Any dispute between you and Zero to Hundred arising out of or related to these Terms or the Platform will be resolved through binding individual arbitration, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if eligible. You waive any right to participate in a class action against Zero to Hundred. (For Builder/Buyer disputes about the software itself, see §7.)

19. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated, are the entire agreement between you and Zero to Hundred regarding the Platform. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
