All funds are first held in the Clearly Development business and marketplace  registered stripe account, where you, the seller, can request a withdrawal and will be processed in approximately but not limited to, 72 hours.

 

4.4 Fees

Clearly Development reserves the right the impose various fees to users of the marketplace, at current time we take a 10% fee for all sales through the marketplace with a further 2.9% processing fee. Stripe may impose other fees onto you depending on country, local law etc however Clearly Development can not control this.

If there are a change to fees Clearly Development will send a notice via email 7 working days prior to the changes.

 

4.5 Dealing with Fraud and Customer Refunds

Clearly Development and Stripe puts up reasonable security and fraud-checking measures to prevent fraudulent transactions. However, as is the case with Internet transactions, no one is totally immune from fraudulent transactions. If a fraudulent transaction occurs in connection with your product(s), you will be notified as soon as Clearly Development becomes aware of such fraudulent transaction. A refund will be issued for such fraudulent transaction and any commissions removed. This means that if commissions have not yet been paid, the commission amount of the fraudulent transaction will be removed from your projected payout. If commissions have already been paid in connection with the fraudulent transaction, Clearly Development will deduct the amount of the paid commission in connection with such fraudulent transaction from future commissions earned, until Clearly Development is fully reimbursed for the payment of such commission.

The reason for the commission deduction is that fraudulent purchases are made with stolen credit cards and/or accounts, and so the purchase is refunded back to the rightful owner, whom was not responsible for the fraudulent transaction.

 

4.6 Exclusivity

We do not maintain any exclusivity policy. You are free to sell your products on any other marketplaces or through any other manner you choose.

 

4.7 Acceptance of Products
