In short

You sell as yourself or an organization you Own and stay the seller. Thumper handles payment, tax and receipts, and keeps 15%. Every listing is reviewed; money waits in your balance until payouts are verified.

1. Who sells and who takes the payment

Thumper AI Corporation is the merchant of record for the payment. The buyer pays Thumper from their Thumper balance, and Thumper collects any sales tax. You are the seller of record for the item — you are responsible for what you list and for the license you grant the buyer. A buyer's payment to Thumper discharges the buyer's obligation to you; your recourse for that money is against Thumper, not the buyer.

2. Fee and earnings

The Thumper fee is 15% of the sale price. Your share (85%) is recorded for each sale. Buyers can ask for a refund for 30 days, so each sale's share is on hold until the refund period ends. Sales tax is added on top of the price and never reduces your share.

3. Payouts, verification, sanctions

You can list and sell straight away. Identity verification and a W-9 or W-8 tax form are required before your first payout. Once the 30-day hold ends, your share is paid out with the next weekly payout. Payouts have a $25 minimum; a smaller amount carries over to the next payout. We check sellers against sanctions lists from the first sale; a match pauses your earnings until it is reviewed.

4. Refunds, chargebacks, clawback

The platform refund policy is uniform and binding — you cannot deny a policy refund. Refunded or charged-back sales are reversed from your pending balance, and if already paid out, are recovered by transfer reversal or offset against future earnings. You authorize these clawbacks.

5. License representations and attestation

For every listing version you make ten sworn representations (ownership/licensing, no infringement, accurate license declaration, redistribution and commercial-sale rights, lawful training data, export compliance, passthrough-term honoring) and complete a structured disclosure. Misrepresentation is an integrity strike: strikes suspend accrual and repeated strikes end the selling relationship. Automated license checks are a floor, not a substitute — a prohibited check result cannot be overridden by attestation.

6. Enforcement and structure changes

Listings are subject to content policy review, DMCA takedown, and the platform killswitch. See the Prohibited Content Policy.
