Content

Limitations

Outside of the acceptable use terms, the payment processors we use have their own restrictions, which may limit what models we're able to sell:

Product content license

Creators are solely responsible for the content they upload and distribute on the Services. As a Creator, you warrant that you own or have the rights to sublicense, publish and distribute the submitted content.

Intent: You have the rights to upload your content, and Playable Prints and customers can use and/or purchase your content without violating anyone else's rights.

As a Creator, you grant the Company a a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the content in connection with the Service. This includes (but is not limited to) using the images and files to promote the Services and allow redistribution of the files to customers.

If you chose to cease the sale of products on the Services (eg: hide from the storefront), the above license to the Company continues.

If you chose to remove the product from the Services, the license shall terminate within 90 days.

Intent: While the product is for sale, we can use it for marketing. While the product is in our inventory (visible or invisible on the storefront), we can provide the files to the customer.

As a Creator, you may specify the licensing terms of each product you upload. In the absence of any such licensing, you grant Users a non-exclusive, perpetual, non-commercial license to utilise the content for personal use. Users shall retain the license to the content even after the content is removed from the Services.

Intent: The license to use the files for printing is on a per-product basis. If there is no Creator-specified license, Users are granted a license to print their models for themselves. Users who have purchased the product don't lose their license to use it if a Creator choses to stop selling it.

Other user generated content

You give us permission to display comments and reviews submitted to the Services. If you delete your account, you can request to have your comments and reviews removed.

Comments and reviews may be removed at any time if they are found to be inappropriate, offensive or cause a breach of these Terms of Service.

Copyright and intellectual property

Except the content uploaded by Users and Creators, the content on the services is owned by Playable Prints Limited.

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe that any material available on or through the Services infringes upon any copyright you own or control, please immediately notify us following the procedure below (a Notification). A copy of your Notification will be sent to the person who posted or stored the material addressed in the Notification. Please be advised that pursuant to applicable law you may be held liable for damages if you make material misrepresentations in a Notification. Thus, if you are not sure that material located on or linked to by the Site infringes your copyright, you should consider first contacting a solicitor.

Notification procedure

To notify us of an infringement, send an email to [email protected] containing the following:

  • the signature of the copyright owner or an authorized agent (electronically, may be your name typed)
  • identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are on a single site, a representative list of such works
  • identification of the infringing material or activity (or the reference or link to such material) and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the material (or the reference or link)
  • contact information for the copyright owner or authorized agent
  • a statement that the person sending the notice has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
  • a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the person sending the notice is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner

We will make reasonable attempts to inform the Creator if we remove anything due to notification of infringement, the reason for the removal, and may provide the Creator with a copy of the notice and the notifying party's contact information.

Sales and purchases

Payment providers

We use Stripe and PayPal to process payments. We never see your credit card details. Where available, Apple Pay and Google Pay are processed via Stripe.

Transactions and fees

Prices are listed in USD Dollars ($). As a Creator you can set your Product to whatever price you like, including $0.

Wargaming3D

The Company shall be entitled to 8% of the revenue, after taxes and duties, but before payment provider fees and charges from the transaction.

For Transactions, we will collect the purchase price and any taxes and fees through our payment providers, and will pay Creators the remaining revenue share, less any fees, taxes, duties, charges ("commission").

We may withhold any taxes, duties or charges on payments to the Creator as may be required by applicable law, and submit such withheld taxes, duties or charges to the appropriate tax authority.

Disguising your place of residence using IP proxies or other methods, to circumvent any geographic restrictions or purchase at a price not applicable to your geography, or other purpose, is a violation of this agreement.

Fees

Wargaming3D only uses PayPal to make transactions.

Transaction fees are fixed at:

  • 2.9% + $0.30 for UK customers
  • 4.5% + $0.30 for international customers

MiniHoarder

The Company shall be entitled to 5% of the revenue, after taxes and duties, but before payment provider fees and charges from the transaction.

For Transactions, we will collect the purchase price and any taxes and fees through our payment providers, and will pay Creators the remaining revenue share, less any payment provider fees, taxes, duties, charges ("commission").

We may withhold any taxes, duties or charges on payments to the Creator as may be required by applicable law, and submit such withheld taxes, duties or charges to the appropriate tax authority.

Disguising your place of residence using IP proxies or other methods, to circumvent any geographic restrictions or purchase at a price not applicable to your geography, or other purpose, is a violation of this agreement.

Fees

Transaction fees are set by PayPay and Stripe.

Examples

We calculate your commission like so:

  • You set the 100% price (if any codes are applied to reduce this, that price becomes the 100% price for the purpose of the calculations).
  • Any applicable taxes (based on customers location) are applied on top of your set price.
  • Your customers pay 100% of your set price + any applicable taxes.
  • Transaction fees (depending on if you're paying with paypal or stripe and where you are) are calculated on full amount (set price + applicable taxes).
  • Any collected taxes (in full) are put aside for us to to pay the appropriate tax office.
  • We take our revenue share from the sale.
  • Your commission is what remains less transaction fees.

Intent: Wargaming3D creator commission = (ProductPrice * 92%) - TransactionFee(Price+Tax) MiniHoarder creator commission = (ProductPrice * 95%) - TransactionFee(Price+Tax)

Example: a $15 product is ordered on Wargaming3D with a $4 discount code, and the customer is from the EU where tax is applied.

The customer purchase calculation is made on $11:

Line item - Product $11.00 Line item - Tax $2.10 Total $13.10

Customer pays $13.10

  • Transaction fee is set at 4.5% + $0.30 = $0.89
  • Money collected by us is $12.21
  • Tax (the full $2.10) is set aside to give to the tax body
  • Leaving $10.11 remaining (price - fees)
  • We take 8% on $11.00 product item price ($0.88)
  • Leaving $9.23 to form the creator commission.

Using the equations in the above example: Wargaming3D creator commission = (ProductPrice * 92%) - TransactionFee(Price+Tax) = ($11.00 * 92%) - $0.89 = $9.23

Therefore $9.23 is credited to your account and $0.88 to ours.

Refunds

Users may request a refund from us if the product does not accurately represent what was advertised.

Refund requests may be directed to the Creator to try and resolve any issues in the first instance.

Note that refunds issued from Stripe do not refund the transaction fee.

Contact us to request a refund or inquire about eligibility.

Payouts

Funds are made available for payout after a 7 day cooldown period.

We use PayPal to transfer funds to Creators.

For Wargaming3D, each payout transaction is charged at 2% of the requested commission + $1.

For MiniHoarder, each payout transaction is charged at PayPal's rate, which varies. See PayPal's fees for details.

Unclaimed Creator Commissions

Intent: Any commissions that are unclaimed for over 6 months may be claimed by us as an administration fee. Playable Prints is not a bank, so you should claim your commissions in a timely manner. If you'd like to make a claim at a specific time in the future that's outside this window, contact us.

Creator accounts are subject to an administration fee for unclaimed transactions.

Recorded Creator commissions from transactions initiated over six (6) months ago that have not been claimed may be subject to an administration fee of up to 100% of the commission. We reserve the right to debit your balance after the first working day of the month following the 6 month window.

Creators may request to delay this fee by contacting us and expressing their intent to claim at a specific time in the future.

This administration fee will not cause your account balance to become negative and will not cause you to owe money to us.

There is a 3 month grace period where the administration fee will not be applied. This grace period begins when this clause is published (4th April 2023), and ends on (4th July 2023), after which we will begin to calculate unclaimed commissions.
