The policies set out below, which you and we must comply with, form part of these terms and our agreement with you. See 13 (Changes to our terms and policies) for how and when we tell you about changes and how you can end this agreement if you're not happy with a change. The policies are:
Your warranties about the information you give
You represent and warrant that:
Our rights to verify the information you give us and your compliance with these terms
We may at our option at any time require you to promptly provide us with reasonable evidence that any information you've given us is true and up to date and that such information and your behaviour is in compliance with these terms. Such information includes (but is not limited to) information in connection with your application to become a seller on The G-Code Store, in your supplier profile and in the listings for your digital products. We can suspend or restrict individual listings until you've supplied this evidence and end this agreement if you don't comply with this requirement. See 7 (Suspension of listings, ending of this agreement and disputes).
You permit and instruct us to collect information about you and in connection with your performance of this agreement (including without limitation the digital products you list on The G-Code Store) and disclose it to tax or other governmental or regulatory authorities as required by law or for compliance with our legal obligations.
Our communications with each other
When we accept your application to become a supplier we'll give you access to our supplier page. Through the supplier page you will be able to manage your account, sales and prices. We'll generally use our supplier page to tell you about customer orders, questions, cancellations and complaints and also other things about our service, such as changes to these terms and our policies. We may also contact you via telephone, email or other methods.
You should use our supplier page to get in touch with us wherever possible, but we may also give you other ways of contacting us.
Your communications with customers
You must always use the supplier page to communicate with customers who have ordered with you through The G-Code Store or enquired about your digital products through The G-Code Store. Where this is not possible (for example, where a customer, having ordered through The G-Code Store finds and calls you directly), you should enter accurate details of any communications with customers on the supplier interface. This helps us to keep a full record of all communications in relation to any transaction, in case there are any disputes.
If a customer contacts you about your digital products through The G-Code Store you mustn't in any way ask or encourage the customer to buy those digital products (or repeat orders for those or similar digital products) either directly from you or from another source.
Your use of our systems
You may only use our supplier page and the other computer systems that support, operate and comprise The G-Code Store (our systems) for listing and selling your digital products and communicating with us and your customers as envisaged in these terms.
You agree to use all reasonable security practices to prevent unauthorised access or damage to our systems. These practices include but are not limited to:
Except as permitted by any applicable law which you and we can't agree to exclude, you mustn't:
Creating your supplier profile and listing digital products on The G-Code Store
You must create a supplier profile on The G-Code Store. Once you've done this and we have accepted your application, you can create listings to sell your digital products on The G-Code Store through our supplier page. Please note that we may undertake randomised testing and reviews of supplier profiles from time to time to ensure compliance with the terms of this agreement. You represent and warrant that you'll:
See also Our rights to verify the information you give us and your compliance with these terms.
You must ensure that your supplier profile and the listings for your digital products:
You can't list fake, stolen or unauthorised digital products
You may only list digital products that bear another company's authorised brand or logo on The G-Code Store with the consent of all relevant third party intellectual property rights-holders. You must maintain adequate processes and procedures to make sure that your digital products are authentic, authorised for sale, not infringing on any third party intellectual property rights, and not counterfeit or unauthorised copies. If we ask you to, you must promptly provide us with genuine and conclusive documentary evidence showing that you are authorised to sell specific brands, designs, codes or digital products on The G-Code Store. We can suspend a listing for a digital product or terminate this agreement under 7 (Suspension of listings, termination of this agreement and disputes) if you fail to comply with any requirement of this clause.
Prohibited digital products
You may not list for sale through The G-Code Store any digital products which:
This list is not exhaustive and we reserve the right to update, revise or amend this clause from time to time, and we reserve the right to suspend or remove a listing for a digital product or terminate this agreement under clause 7 as we deem appropriate or necessary.
Pricing your digital products (including VAT)
How you price your digital products is entirely up to you and you can change the price for your digital products at any time using the supplier page. Please allow a reasonable time for revised prices to be displayed on The G-Code Store. We'll charge customers the price shown on The G-Code Store at the time they submit their order.
Your prices must be inclusive of Supply VAT.
Platform availability
We do not guarantee that the supplier page to you, and The G-Code Store to customers, will be available at any particular time or location. We reserve the right to take some or all of our systems offline as reasonably required for routine and emergency maintenance or repairs. We'll give you as much notice of such downtime as is reasonably possible. All communications using the internet may be affected by events outside our reasonable control (see Impact of events beyond your or our reasonable control (force majeure)).
What we do when a customer orders
Customers ordering digital products from The G-Code Store must click to accept our standard customer terms which are linked to from the checkout page. If there is any inconsistency between any of the provisions of your customer terms and the provisions of our standard customer terms, the provisions of our standard customer terms shall prevail.
When a customer orders and pays for one of your digital products from The G-Code Store, we, acting as your intermediary, will:
You appoint us as your agent for the limited purpose of receiving, holding and settling payments to you. You agree that a customer’s payment received by us, on your behalf, satisfies the customer’s obligations to make payment to you, regardless of whether we actually settle such payment to you. If we do not settle any such payment as described in these terms, you will have recourse only against us and not the customer.
We are not responsible for interactions between you and a customer, with the exception of providing the technological means through which you may broadcast and otherwise make your digital products available and for processing payments through our payment gateway. We are not liable for any disputes, claims, losses, injuries or damage of any kind that may arise out of the digital product or supplier/consumer relationship, including but not limited to any consumer’s reliance upon any information provided by you through the platform. You will be solely responsible for handling any disputes with a customer relating to your digital products or content.
Our order confirmation email will serve as the customer's supply VAT receipt issued in your name and on your behalf. Our email will include all the information about the ordered digital product which you've included in your digital product listing as well as separately showing the UK supply VAT collected by you as part of the order. You're responsible for ensuring that this information meets legal information requirements and for compliance with all applicable legal, tax and regulatory requirements in connection with any customer VAT receipt issued in your name.
Where a customer is UK VAT registered, we will, where required by applicable law, provide you with the customer’s UK VAT registration number and details of the relevant supply.
Dealing with customer questions about orders
You must deal promptly and professionally with any customer questions about orders. You must liaise with us if the question relates to any part of the process we're involved in. You and we will co-operate with each other in trying to resolve any such questions.
Dealing with customer cancellations
We'll tell you if a consumer contacts us to cancel an order, including during their 14-day statutory cooling-off period. You must promptly tell us of any refunds due to customers who have cancelled and these will be dealt with as described in How customers are refunded.
How you must handle customer complaints
We'll tell you if a customer complains to us about you or one of your digital products, and provide you with all relevant details about the complaint.
You must deal with complaints we tell you about, and any complaints you receive directly from customers, in a way that complies with consumer law and honour any additional commitments or guarantees you've made in your digital product listing or other marketing or advertising.
You must keep detailed records of how you've dealt with customer complaints and share them with us if requested.
See also 9 (Claims and actions against us in connection with you or your digital products).
What we pay you for digital products sold on The G-Code Store
Within 48-hours of receipt of the relevant payment from the customer, you will be able to access the payments owed to you via your supplier page and withdraw such balance to your bank account. We'll pay you the sums received by us from customers for your digital products into your supplier escrow account available through your supplier profile within 48-hours of receipt, less:
We charge customers in the local currency they choose to make the purchase in and account to you in the local currency that you have chosen to receive payment in As a result, the sums you receive will be subject to any variation as a result of the currency exchange rates in place from time to time, and any costs incurred in the exchanging of such currency. We therefore cannot guarantee that the sums you receive following exchange and the deduction of the above fees, will not be less than anticipated.
Our commission is calculated as a percentage of the total price paid by the customer for the digital product at the rate agreed with you in writing and recorded on your supplier page.
You must account to HMRC for any VAT due on UK sales of your digital products on The G-Code Store and fully comply with your tax obligations in connection with the use of our services and the offer and sale of your digital products on The G-Code Store including the collection, reporting, filing and payment of any and all applicable taxes (such as VAT) and other governmental assessments.
When you must pay our invoices
You must pay any invoices we submit to you within 14 days of receipt unless stated otherwise.
Interest on late payments
If either of us fails to make a payment due to the other under these terms by the due date, then, without limiting the other party's remedies, the defaulting party shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. Interest under this clause will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%.
How customers are refunded
A customer may be entitled to a refund on the sums paid in the event that:
In respect of point (c) above, the responsibility of such refund where the digital product is found to be faulty shall be determined as follows:
If you instruct us to refund a customer on your behalf, we'll do so provided we can deduct such sums from money due from us to you. We are not obliged to refund more than the sums collected from the customer at checkout. If we can't deduct such sums from money due from us to you, we may either require you to refund customers directly or choose to refund customers ourselves and you must pay us the sums we refund in this way. See When you must pay our invoices.
Our and your rights of set-off
Save as expressly provided in these terms, you and we shall each pay all amounts due under this agreement in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
Orders from outside Great Britain
The G-Code Store only displays information to customers in the English language and only accepts payment in pounds sterling and we make this clear to customers. The G-Code Store also has a co.uk web address. Despite our taking these steps, customers from outside Great Britain may succeed in ordering your digital products from The G-Code Store. Customers from outside Great Britain may have rights under their local laws which apply as well as or instead of their rights under English law and our standard terms for consumers. If you don't wish to accept such orders, it is your responsibility to reject them.
Your use of our branding
You may publicise your listings on The G-Code Store outside The G-Code Store, for example, on social media. In doing so you must take care not to in any way suggest that you or your listings are endorsed, controlled or created by The G-Code Store. You can share the urls for your listings and supplier pages and state that your digital products can be bought on The G-Code Store. However, you can't use the The G-Code Store stylised name or logos either on their own or in combination with another word or use the The G-Code Store name in your social media profile name or photo. You also can't create content with the same look or feel as that of The G-Code Store.
As soon as reasonably possible after this agreement ends, you must remove any content that suggests you sell on The G-Code Store from any places you control and use your best efforts to remove such content from any places owned by any third parties.
Our use of your branding and other intellectual property rights
You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, display and publish any content, data or information (including trade marks and branding) you provide to us in connection with you and your digital products (your materials) for the purposes of listing and selling your digital products on The G-Code Store and operating, improving and marketing The G-Code Store in any media.
As soon as reasonably possible after this agreement ends, we'll stop all use of your materials on The G-Code Store. However, we reserve the right to continue using your materials for the purposes and period set out in Your obligations after this agreement ends and Our obligations after this agreement ends.
Except as stated above, we won't acquire any rights to your materials and any goodwill generated by our use of your materials on The G-Code Store or through our marketing activities will accrue to you.
When we'll suspend your listings or end this agreement
We can suspend or restrict any individual listing you make on The G-Code Store if we become aware, or have reason to believe, that what you've told us about your digital product(s) or said about your digital product in the listing for it is not true or up to date or that the digital product or the listing doesn't comply with these terms, including our policies.
We can end this agreement and your rights to use The G-Code Store for any of the following reasons:
We'll give you at least 30 days' notice that we are ending this agreement unless:
If we're suspending or restricting an individual listing or ending this agreement, we'll normally give you a written statement of the specific facts or circumstances which led to our decision and which of these terms we consider you've broken. If we're acting in response to a notification from someone else, we'll also share the contents of that notification with you. However, we won't give you such a statement if:
How you can end this agreement

Payment of uncapped liabilities shall not reduce these caps.
Dealing with claims against us
We'll pass on to you any complaints we receive, or become aware of, about you or one of your digital products as described in How you must handle customer complaints. However, if anyone, including (but not limited to) a customer, any regulator, HMRC, or any third party rights holder, makes a claim or takes any kind of action against us in connection with:
(a third party claim), then you must, at our option and as we request, either help us defend or deal with the third party claim or defend or deal with it on our behalf, in each case at your own expense.

Responsibility for digital product recall
You are liable to customers for the recall of any of your digital products. We will provide you with information we hold about customers and your digital products sold to them as reasonably necessary to assist you with your digital product recall obligations.
If we ask you to, you must give us evidence that you have promptly complied with your digital product recall obligations. If you don't do this within a reasonable time, we can do what we think appropriate to protect customers, including contacting customers to alert them to safety issues or recalling the digital product and refunding customers what they paid for it. You must cooperate with us in doing this and reimburse us all liabilities we incur in connection with any recall of your digital products. 9 (Claims and actions against us in connection with you or your digital products) applies in relation to any third party claim that your digital products, or the physical products they help manufacture, are unsafe.

We may suspend or restrict listings for unsafe digital products as set out in When we'll suspend your listings or end this agreement and notify the customers and the public of what we have done and why, by whatever means we consider appropriate. We may also include safety warnings about digital products as part of your digital product listings. Should we become aware of such information, we may use information from customer complaints about your digital products and customer reviews when assessing the safety of your digital products, require further information from you about the issues reported and share such information with regulatory and other governmental authorities.
Product and cyber liability insurance
We recommend you maintain product and cyber liability insurance covering your digital products for as long as they are listed on The G-Code Store and for two years after they stop being listed. Such insurance should provide cover appropriate for the nature of the digital products and your liability thereunder and be with a reputable insurer. You must provide a copy of the insurance policy and proof of payment of the current premium to us when we ask for it.
