8. Assets Store & Payments

The Assets Store is a marketplace where users can list, buy, and sell User Content such as fighting game characters, stages, sounds, palettes, fonts, and full games. This Section governs the commercial use of the Assets Store, including listing, purchasing, wallet balances, fees, refunds, and the affiliate program. It supplements Section 5 (User-Generated Content) and Section 7 (License Keys & Commercial Use).

Listing Assets. Any user may list an asset for sale at a price they set (0 = free). Every new listing is submitted for review and approval by our moderation teambefore it becomes publicly visible. Assets awaiting review have the status “pending”; they are not searchable or purchasable until approved. We may reject, unpublish, or remove any listing that violates these Terms or applicable law.

Wallet. Paid assets are purchased using your wallet balance, a virtual USD balance on your account. Wallets are currently funded through manual top-ups and will support online payment providers in the future. Wallet balances are non-refundable and cannot be withdrawn to cash, except as required by applicable law.

Platform Fee. We charge a platform fee of 10% of each paid sale. The seller receives the remaining 90% of the purchase price, credited to their wallet.

Purchases & Refunds. All purchases are final upon completion of the transaction. You may not purchase your own assets. Because assets are digital goods delivered instantly, refunds are generally not available; however, we may issue a wallet credit, at our discretion and on a case-by-case basis, if an asset is removed for policy violations or is materially different from its description. Refunds, if any, are issued to your wallet balance. Nothing in this section limits your rights under mandatory consumer protection law, including the EU rules on distance selling.

Affiliate Program. You may earn a commission of 20% of the purchase price of paid assets when a user you referred makes a purchase. Referrals are tracked via a referral link cookie (30-day window) and commissions are recorded in your dashboard. Commissions are paid out in cash by manual request, subject to review and applicable tax obligations. We may withhold or reject commissions for fraudulent or self-referral activity.

Seller Obligations.By listing an asset, you represent and warrant that you own or have the rights to all content in the asset, that it does not infringe any third party’s rights, and that it complies with these Terms. You remain responsible for the assets you sell, including quality, support, and compliance with applicable law. Assets that infringe third-party rights may be removed under Section 10 (DMCA Takedown).

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its code, design, graphics, and engine technology, is the intellectual property of Tarunk Engine and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws. Except for the license granted in Section 4, no ownership rights are transferred to you.

The “Tarunk Engine” name, logo, and branding are our trademarks. You may not use our trademarks without our prior written permission.

10. Copyright Infringement & DMCA Takedown
