Terms Of Service

Welcome to CodesLook Market

1. Hi, we’re CodesLook and welcome! We’re happy to have you here and we hope you enjoy your stay. When we say ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘CodesLook’ it’s because that’s who we are and we own and run the CodesLook Market site.

2. CodesLook’s ecosystem of digital marketplaces helps millions of people around the world get creative and earn online. When you create an account and accept these terms you become a member of our community. You will have an CodesLook Market account that will allow you to buy and sell items like the ones found on the CodesLook Market sites and make other related transactions.

3. The CodesLook Market sites are platforms that allow members to buy and sell licenses to use digital items like website themes, production music, motion graphics project files, software code, vectors, images and much, much more. On CodesLook Market, buyers and authors (sellers) transact with each other directly and we provide the platform to allow the transactions to happen. If you have an CodesLook Market account, any transactions are logged on your member’s statement, which records the payments made by you to authors via CodesLook Market (as a buyer) and by buyers via CodesLook Market to you (as an author).

4. The items on CodesLook Market are owned by the authors, not by us. The items on CodesLook Market are uploaded at the direction of the author. We provide the platform services; we do not take ownership of the items.

5. During your time with us you agree to follow the ground rules outlined in these terms so please read and understand them. If you don’t accept the terms then we’ll be sad, but you will need to leave because your presence on and use of the CodesLook Market sites is conditional on your acceptance to be bound by these terms and the Acceptable Use Policy whether you become a member or not.

How buying items works

What you're buying:

a. License: When you buy an item, you acquire the right to use that item; you're not actually acquiring the item itself. What you get includes a license directly from the author to use that item. Items are subject to specific terms of use, and these terms are the ‘license’ that we set on CodesLook Market. This license also applies to you if you download an item that someone else has bought for you (because anyone downloading an item needs to be an CodesLook Market member). Different license types are available for you to choose when you have selected an item. You’ll need to think about the way you want to use the item so that you can pick the right license to allow that use. It’s your responsibility to choose the correct license.

Item support: Authors can choose whether or not to support certain items. If an author chooses to support an item, this will be identified on the item page. All supported items include a support period. You can buy support extensions on these items. Your right to access Item Support requires an CodesLook Market account.

Buyer Services: In addition to the use of the platform, when you ‘buy’ an item you also receive buyer services from CodesLook like 24/7 buyer support, fraud protection, item quality control and other related buyer services.

The total price for an item on CodesLook Market is made up of:

a. Item price: The item price is made up of a license fee (for the license you choose for the item), and if relevant the item support fee (for supported items).

b. Buyer fee: This is the fee for the buyer services you get from CodesLook.

c. Handling fee: In some transactions on CodesLook Market the total checkout price may include a handling fee.

d. Taxes: Some transactions on CodesLook Market may be subject to tax that may be added to the price.

Transacting as a buyer:

If you have an CodesLook Market account, you can make payments by using the ‘Buy Now’ function or by using any existing CodesLook Credits in your CodesLook Market account.

CodesLook Credits: Existing CodesLook Credits can only be used to pay for CodesLook Market transactions. We do not refund any monies originally placed into your CodesLook Market account to buy CodesLook Credits (but you may have rights under an applicable consumer law, which we don’t exclude).

When using Buy Now you will be redirected to a payment method provider.

Terms of buying: When you buy an CodesLook Market item you’re doing so on the following terms:

a. you warrant to us and the author that you have carefully considered the suitability of your chosen license, and that you have chosen appropriately;

b. you cannot cancel a completed purchase of an item;

c. we and the authors do not promise that any particular item will continue to be available on CodesLook Market so you should download and save the item as soon as you buy it;

d. once you buy or download an item and the item has been paid for, you acquire a non-exclusive license to use the item under the terms set out in the license (non-exclusive means others might also license the same item);

e. the author retains ownership of the item;

f. your relevant details may be provided to the author of the item in order to facilitate the transaction, for example for invoicing and item support services; and

g. we have the right to enforce against you the terms of the license that you have acquired from an author.

Warranties we make:

a. We warrant that the CodesLook Market sites will be suitable for the purposes described on the sites, and that we will provide our platform services with reasonable skill and care.

b. We otherwise do not make any express or implied warranties about the CodesLook Market site.

Warranties authors make: The author of an item you buy warrants to you that:

a. the item is of acceptable quality and fit for the purpose for which it is 'sold';

b. the item matches the description given by the author on the item preview page, as well as any item preview;

c. they will honour any express warranties given to you that are not contained in these terms;

d. they have the rights necessary to license that item on the terms of applicable license;

e. your use of that item in accordance with the terms of the applicable license does not infringe the intellectual property rights of someone else;

f. the item and its description are not false, inaccurate, misleading, fraudulent, unlawful or defamatory;

g. the item and its description do not violate any applicable law or regulation (including those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, criminal law, pornography, anti-discrimination, trade practices or fair trading);

h. the item does not contain viruses or other computer codes, files or programs which are designed to limit or destroy the functionality of other computer software or hardware;

i. if the item is marked as 'supported', they will provide you with the services as outlined in the item support policy;

j. they will process your data in accordance with applicable privacy law and data protection regulations.

Taxes:

a. Sales Tax. Prices and fees made for supplies made to you (whether by CodesLook or authors) in connection with these terms exclude consumption and sales taxes (Sales Tax). If a supply is made to you under or in connection with these terms on which Sales Tax is imposed, the fee you must pay for that supply is increased by the Sales Tax amount.

b. Other taxes.You are responsible for paying all such taxes and imposts associated with your use of CodesLook Market wherever levied. Your responsibility includes withholding tax if it applies, unless we already process that withholding tax. If a withholding is required by applicable law, you will remit the legally required amount to the applicable taxing authority; you must pay to CodesLook (or authors) the gross amount on the invoice(s) such that the amount received by CodesLook (or authors) after the withholding tax is applied is the full amount CodesLook (or authors) would have received if no withholding or deduction had been made (and it is your responsibility to arrange the remittance of the gross invoice amount in accordance with CodesLook’s standard processes).
