Version 2026-10-v1 — Last updated 2026-10-26
1. How this agreement fits with our Terms
This Creator Agreement covers selling on Dungeonstock. As a creator, you're also bound by our Terms of Service and the policies they incorporate, including the Acceptable Use Policy. Payouts are also covered by the Payout Agreement.
If these documents conflict:
- On creator matters, this agreement takes priority over the Terms.
- On payout matters, the Payout Agreement takes priority over this agreement and the Terms.
- A separate written arrangement between you and Dungeonstock, such as a custom revenue share, takes priority over this agreement and the Terms, but only for what it covers.
2. Your content and the license you give us
You keep all the rights you have in the assets you upload. This agreement doesn't transfer ownership of anything you upload to us.
The license. By uploading an asset, you grant Dungeonstock a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license (royalty-free other than the earnings this agreement sets out) to host, store, reproduce, reformat, display, distribute, deliver and process your assets. This includes making previews, thumbnails and watermarked versions, generating search indexes and tags, and running automated content moderation. We use this license to operate the platform and to promote your assets as section 9 describes. We may exercise it through service providers acting for us.
Buyer licenses. The license also gives us the right to grant buyers licenses to your assets under the Buyer License. The Buyer License sets out what buyers may and may not do with your assets.
No licensing to third parties. We won't license your assets to anyone for their own independent use, other than to buyers under the Buyer License.
After this agreement ends. Buyers who obtained your assets before the agreement ends keep their Buyer Licenses. For those assets and those buyers only, the license you give us in this section continues and can't be revoked. It lets us keep hosting those assets and delivering them to those buyers, including re-downloads, for as long as their Buyer Licenses last. It doesn't let us sell or offer your assets to anyone new.
Moral rights. To the extent the law allows, you waive, in favour of Dungeonstock and buyers, any moral rights you have in your assets, but only as far as needed to permit the uses licensed under this agreement and the Buyer License (including modification or remixing without attribution).
3. Content rules & removals
Your assets and listings must follow the Acceptable Use Policy.
File safety. You represent that your files contain no malware, viruses or other harmful code, and that they follow Dungeonstock's file rules at /help/what-files-you-can-upload. You agree that Dungeonstock may inspect the contents of your files, including opening archives, reading scripts and reviewing files manually, to enforce these rules. If we reasonably suspect a file breaks these rules, we may block or remove it, refund affected buyers and recover those refunds from your earnings, and hold your payouts while we investigate.
Removing or restricting content. We may remove or restrict content that breaks this agreement, the Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy or the law, including content that infringes someone else's rights. We can do this straight away. We don't have to monitor the content on Dungeonstock, but we may. Repeated violations may lead to suspension or termination of your account.
Notice and reasons. If we restrict, suspend, remove or demote your content or account, we'll give you a statement of our reasons where the law requires it. Before we terminate your account, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice, except for illegal content or where we're legally required to act immediately.
Buyers keep access. Removing a file from a product, archiving a product or unpublishing it stops new sales only. Buyers who already obtained it keep access to it.
If you disagree. If you disagree with a decision we've made about your content or account, reply to our notice or contact support, and we'll review the decision.
4. Your promises & indemnity
You promise that:
- you own, or have all the rights, licenses, consents and permissions needed, to upload and sell every asset you upload and to grant Dungeonstock the license in section 2;
- your listings accurately describe your assets;
- you follow the law that applies to you when you sell on Dungeonstock; and
- you're responsible for your own taxes on what you earn through Dungeonstock.
Indemnity. To the extent the law allows, you will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Dungeonstock, its officers, employees and agents from any third-party claim, and from any damages, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:
- (a) your uploaded content;
- (b) a breach of your promises in this section;
- (c) any other breach of this agreement; or
- (d) your violation of the law or of a third party's rights.
We may take control of the defense of any such claim. If we do, you'll cooperate with us. This indemnity doesn't apply to the extent a claim arises from Dungeonstock's own breach.
5. Revenue share
You receive the revenue share percentage set out in your creator invitation for each asset sold through Dungeonstock. We keep the remainder as a platform fee. Founding creators receive a higher rate, as set out in their invitation. We may change revenue share percentages with 30 days' written notice. We may offer custom revenue share arrangements at our discretion, and we document them separately.
5.1 Revenue pool & Gold
When a buyer gets your content by redeeming Gold, it doesn't create a sale earning. Instead, you're paid through the revenue pool.
Each period, we add up what buyers paid for subscriptions and Gold Packs, less refunds. That is the revenue pool. Your share of the pool is your share of all Gold spent on creators' products that period: if buyers spent 10% of the period's Gold on your products, you get 10% of the pool. Your revenue share rate then applies to your share, with a bonus on the part funded by Pro subscriptions (currently 1%). Your dashboard shows each period's pool, your Gold, your share and your earnings.
Your share isn't tied to any one buyer's payment, and Gold entitles you to no specific amount. Before we pay a period, we calculate it, review it and approve it. If a subscription or Gold Pack is refunded before then, we recalculate the period. If we find a mistake after a period is paid, we correct it with an adjustment to your balance. We may change the pool's funding sources, calculation method, distribution timing, bonuses, and how refund losses are allocated. We'll give you at least 30 days' notice of material changes.
5.2 Refunds & chargebacks
We decide refunds under our Refund Policy.
When a sale is refunded or charged back, the earnings from that sale are reversed. If those earnings were already paid out, the amount comes off your future earnings, as described in section 7 of the Payout Agreement (Refunds, chargebacks & negative balances).
6. Payouts
Payouts are made through Stripe Connect, or another payout provider we offer you. Before you can be paid, you must finish your payout provider's onboarding, including identity verification and tax information. The Payout Agreement sets the payout schedule, holds, the minimum payout ($25.00 USD) and tax forms, and it governs all payouts.
7. What we provide
Dungeonstock provides the marketplace infrastructure, payment processing, content delivery, and customer support for buyer transactions. We make reasonable efforts to keep the platform available, but we don't guarantee uninterrupted service.
7.1 Ranking & curation
Main ranking parameters. Where your products appear in browse and search depends mainly on:
- relevance to the buyer's search;
- an average of your product's ratings, adjusted so that a small number of ratings doesn't dominate;
- how recently the product was published; and
- time-limited editorial badges, such as New, Rising, Staff Pick and Editor's Pick.
No creator can pay for a higher organic ranking.
8. Disclaimer
The platform is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
We don't promise any level of sales, earnings or visibility for your products.
We're not responsible for copying or piracy of your assets outside Dungeonstock. If you report infringing copies on Dungeonstock, we'll act on the report.
Some jurisdictions don't allow certain warranties to be excluded, so some of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in this section removes any warranty, guarantee or right that the law doesn't let us exclude.
9. Promoting your products
You let us use your creator name, store name, logo, and your product images, previews and descriptions to promote your products and Dungeonstock. We may do this on Dungeonstock and elsewhere, including in email, on social media and in ads.
When you remove a product or leave. We'll stop new uses of that material within a reasonable time. Promotional material we've already published may stay up.
Using our name. You may say that you sell on Dungeonstock and link to your store. Without our written permission, don't use the Dungeonstock name or logo in a way that suggests we endorse you.
10. Ending this agreement
Either party may end this agreement at any time by giving written notice.
We may also suspend or end this agreement if you break this agreement or the Terms, for fraud, or where the law requires it. We'll give notice as described in section 3.
When this agreement ends. Your products stop being sold. Buyers keep access to what they already obtained, as section 2 describes. Unpaid earnings are paid in the normal payout cycle under the Payout Agreement, less any refunds or chargebacks that come in.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination survive it, including section 2 (After this agreement ends), section 4 (Your promises & indemnity), section 5.2 (Refunds & chargebacks), section 11 (Limitation of liability) and section 13 (Disputes & governing law).
11. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, Dungeonstock isn't liable for indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits.
Dungeonstock's total liability under this agreement won't exceed the fees Dungeonstock kept from sales of your assets in the 12 months before the claim. These are the platform fees described in section 5, not the earnings paid to you.
Nothing in this agreement limits liability that can't be limited by law, or our liability for our own fraud or willful misconduct.
12. Changes to this agreement
We may update this agreement. For material changes, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice by email and on your dashboard, and we'll ask you to accept the new version.
Changes don't apply to sales made before they take effect.
If you don't accept the changes, you can end this agreement before they take effect.
Changes to your revenue share rate and to the revenue pool follow sections 5 and 5.1.
13. Disputes & governing law
Talk to us first. If you have a dispute with us, email legal@dungeonstock.com before starting any formal proceeding. We'll both try to resolve it informally for 30 days.
Governing law. This agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
Arbitration. Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, any dispute arising out of or relating to this agreement will be resolved by binding individual arbitration seated in Ottawa, Ontario, under the Ontario Arbitration Act, 1991.
No class actions. You waive the right to take part in a class action or class arbitration.
Opt-out. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing legal@dungeonstock.com within 30 days of first accepting this agreement.
Courts. The courts of Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction for matters outside arbitration (for example, small claims or enforcing an award). If the arbitration requirement or the class-action waiver is found unenforceable for a particular dispute, that dispute will be resolved by those courts, and the rest of this agreement stays in effect.
14. General terms
Entire agreement. This agreement, the Terms, the Payout Agreement and any separate written arrangement between you and Dungeonstock form the entire agreement between us about selling on Dungeonstock.
Severability. If any part of this agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only as far as necessary, and the rest stays in effect.
No waiver. If we don't enforce a part of this agreement, we can still enforce it later. A waiver is effective only if it's in writing.
Independent contractors. You and Dungeonstock are independent contractors. This agreement doesn't create a partnership, employment, agency or joint venture.
Notices. We send notices to the email address on your account. Send notices to us at legal@dungeonstock.com.
Force majeure. Dungeonstock isn't liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labour disputes, government action, and failures of power, the internet or third-party providers (including payment processors, hosting and content-delivery networks).
Assignment. Dungeonstock may assign this agreement, and its rights and obligations under it, including to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets. This ensures a successor can continue to operate the platform and honor existing buyer licenses. You may not assign this agreement without Dungeonstock's prior written consent.
