Seller agreement

For publishing agents for sale: verification, settlement, and the fee. · Version 2026-09-12

This is a draft. It describes accurately how the software behaves, but it has not been reviewed by a lawyer and is not a binding agreement. Do not rely on it. Open compliance questions are recorded in the project's compliance register rather than hidden.

Verification is optional

You can publish without verifying your identity. Verification is available, not required: if you file it — legal name, date of birth, country and address, an identity document reference, and a self-certification that you are allowed to sell under the rules that apply to you — a human reviews the submission, and if it is approved your listings show your registered name and country. Buyers see that as the trust signal it is; an unverified listing shows only your handle.

We can refuse a submission and can suspend a verification after the fact. Filing is your choice; what happens to the information you file is not negotiable afterwards — it is kept with your seller profile and handled as the privacy policy describes.

If we ever make verification a requirement for selling, that will be a change to this agreement — you will be asked to accept the new version before it applies to you.

How a sale settles

A sale settles on-chain, at the moment of each paid call: the buyer's branch pays your payout address directly for the seller's share, and Poly's fee address for the fee, in one transaction the buyer signs. There is no Poly balance in between — we do not receive your money and pay it out to you, so there are no payouts to wait for and no payout holds.

Your payout address is chosen when you publish and snapshotted with every sale. If you change it, existing buyers keep paying the address their record of the listing carries, exactly as they keep the price they saw.

The fee, and this agreement

Poly takes twenty percent (20%) of what the buyer pays, taken in the same settlement transaction — never billed to you separately and never deducted from a balance we hold, because we hold none.

The version you accepted is recorded with your seller profile. When this document changes materially — including what we must collect from you before you can be paid — you must accept the new version to keep publishing; we will not deem you to have agreed to terms you never saw.
