Creator License Agreement

Full agreement

1) Agreement and parties

This Creator License Agreement (“Agreement”) is between you (“Creator,” “you,” or “Seller”) and GEAD DAKLA LLC (“we,” “us,” or “Homestorie”) governing your use of the seller tools and marketplace at Homestorie.com (the “Platform”) to offer products that incorporate your artwork, designs, photography, text, or other creative material (“Content”).

By registering a seller account, uploading Content, or maintaining listings, you agree to this Agreement together with our Terms & conditions, Seller verification policy, Privacy policy, and any payout or fulfillment addenda we provide in your dashboard. If there is a conflict on seller-specific topics, this Agreement controls over general site terms only where expressly stated.

2) License you grant to us

You retain ownership of your intellectual property in the Content. Subject to this Agreement, you grant GEAD DAKLA LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-bearing (via agreed seller compensation) license to:

• Host, reproduce, display, and transmit your Content on the Platform and Homestorie marketing channels (email, social, onsite placements) to promote your shop and applicable products.
• Sublicense production partners as needed solely to manufacture, package, and ship products ordered by customers.
• Use your shop name, logo, and biographical information you provide for attribution and promotion.
• Resize, crop, color-correct, or otherwise technically adapt Content so it fits product templates and print specifications, without altering the underlying creative work in a misleading way.

This license lasts while your listings using the Content are live or while we reasonably need the Content to complete open orders, handle returns or disputes, and satisfy record-keeping. When you remove Content or close your account as allowed below, we will stop new uses except as needed to wind down existing obligations unless law requires retention.

3) Your representations

You represent and warrant that:

• You own the Content or have all licenses, consents, and releases needed to grant the rights in Section 2.
• Your Content does not infringe any third party’s copyright, trademark, publicity rights, or other rights.
• Product descriptions, materials claims, sizing, and compliance statements you provide are accurate to the best of your knowledge.
• You will not upload malware, deceptive imagery, or Content that violates our content rules or applicable law.

4) Prohibited and restricted content

We may refuse or remove listings that include, for example: illegal goods; content that promotes hate or violence; counterfeit or unauthorized branded goods; sexually explicit material where not permitted by our policies; or personal data of third parties collected without consent. We may update detailed content rules in seller help materials; serious or repeated violations may lead to account action under our seller verification policy.

5) Pricing, orders, and payouts

You set retail prices within any minimums or caps we communicate. Customers contract with GEAD DAKLA LLC or our designated merchant of record for checkout as described at purchase. Your compensation (e.g., margin, royalty, or net payout) is calculated per the rates, schedules, and tax documentation requirements shown in your seller dashboard or separate payout agreement. We may withhold amounts for refunds, chargebacks, fees, or good-faith investigations. You are responsible for your own income taxes.

6) Indemnity

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GEAD DAKLA LLC, its affiliates, and their personnel from claims, damages, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from: (a) your Content or listings; (b) breach of this Agreement; or (c) your violation of law or third-party rights. We may assume exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnity at our expense.

7) Disclaimer

The Platform and seller tools are provided “as is” to the extent allowed by law. We do not guarantee continuous availability, specific sales volume, or error-free operation. Our liability for direct damages arising from this Agreement is limited to amounts we paid you in seller payouts in the three (3) months before the claim, except where limitation is prohibited by law.

8) Term, suspension, and termination

This Agreement begins when you accept it and continues until terminated. Either party may terminate with notice as described in your dashboard or applicable terms. We may suspend or terminate immediately for material breach, legal risk, or platform safety. Upon termination, licenses for new uses end subject to Section 2 wind-down; Sections that by nature survive (e.g., indemnity, limitations, disputes) will continue.

9) Independent relationship

You are an independent business. Nothing creates an employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship. You are not authorized to bind GEAD DAKLA LLC or Homestorie except through tools we expressly provide.

10) Governing law and disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles, except where consumer protection laws require otherwise. For disputes we cannot resolve informally, exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall lie in the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas, unless applicable law requires a different forum.
