Author Terms

Welcome

1. Before becoming an author, you must first accept our Terms & Conditions. These additional terms for authors ('Author Terms') are an extra part of the Lazy Prompts Terms that apply specifically to authors on Lazy Prompts. You'll need to agree to them before you can become an author. These govern the relationships, rights and obligations of authors to us and buyers using Lazy Prompts. You agree to put your items on Lazy Prompts and make them available to buyers on the basis stated in the Lazy Prompts Terms & Services and these Author Terms.

As an author on Lazy Prompt you have responsibilities to us and buyers of your items. Please take the time to review these Author Terms carefully.

2. When we say 'you' in these Author Terms we are referring to you, the author whose details are listed as Lazy Prompts account holder. All other words defined or explained in the Lazy Prompts Terms & Services have the same meaning here. If there's any inconsistency between what we say in these Author Terms and what is in the Lazy Prompts Terms & Services, what we say in these Author Terms prevails.

3. Read on for details about your author responsibilities, the process of selling your items on Lazy Prompts and how you can earn money with us.

Becoming an Author

4. Becoming an author is free: Becoming an author and putting your items up on Lazy Prompts is free but there is a review process. There are a few things you warrant in exchange for the right to be an author, which are outlined in these Author Terms.

5. Process to become an author: Click the green Upgrade to Vendor Account button on your account page. You will be asked to accept our terms and conditions, set up your vendor profile, link your bank account, and to create your first listing.

6. Setting the prices of items: As an author, you are responsible for setting the prices for your items. This is known as 'Author Driven Pricing'. You may change the prices at your sole discretion. You must make all pricing decisions independently, and discussions about your pricing decisions (including with other authors) are not permitted under any circumstances.

7. Your earnings: When your item is sold on Lazy Prompts, you will earn 80% commission on the price of the item less the processing fees. The processing fee is what you are charged by Lazy Prompts for use of our platform and services as an author (this fee is inclusive of our merchant processor fees and, if appropriate, currency conversion costs). The merchant processor fee is dictated by our 3rd party provider, Stripe, and is typically 2.9% + $0.30USD but can vary depending on currency and other factors outside of our control. We will strive to keep authors updated but for the latest update, please visit Stripe.

8. Review: We have rules about what we accept and don't accept and you can read up on these in our author-related Lazy Prompts information. Although we always like to provide constructive feedback we're not obliged to give you any reasons for rejecting your item. We have the final say on whether items are accepted for Lazy Prompts.

9. No Variation: You are not permitted to vary these terms (or our Lazy Prompts Terms) as they apply between you and buyers, or to offer your items on different terms or with additional terms (for example, through your item description pages). Any different or additional terms that you try to impose on Lazy Prompts on your items will have no effect against buyers or Lazy Prompts.

How do payments of earnings work?

These sections explain how earning an income works on Lazy Prompts and important information about payments to your account, and deductions from your account. Take a close look!

10. We will pay you your earnings which is the price you set forth and agreed to by the buyer at the point of sale minus the processing fee ('your earnings' or 'earnings'). In order for us to do this, you authorize us to collect payments, to credit your Lazy Prompts account with your earnings, and to payout your earnings to you. We may use another Deviate Labs Company (the parent company of Lazy Prompts) to do these things for us.

11. To avoid any confusion, only your earnings from the sale of your items will be payable to you.

12. Thresholds: We'll make payments of your earnings based on certain minimum threshold amounts.

13. Earnings payment timing and methods:

  1. You have provided us with the correct details and payment method when you set your payment destination.
  2. Purchases of the prompts were made in good faith
  3. Your Lazy Prompts account is in good standing (e.g. not under investigation for foul play or suspicious transactions)
  4. You may bear some or all expenses incurred by us in paying monies to you

14. Potential deductions: When you receive a payment for your item sold on Lazy Prompts, you are liable to Lazy Prompts for the full amount of the payment sent to you plus any Fees if the payment is later invalidated for any reason. This means that, in addition to any other liability, you will be responsible for the amount of the payment sent by the sender, plus the applicable fees if there is a chargeback, a dispute, or if there is a reversal of the payment. You agree to allow Lazy Prompts to recover any amounts due to Lazy Prompts by debiting your account or agreeing to reimburse Lazy Prompts through other means.

  1. Payment methods available for buyers to buy your items involve payment agents that have their own standard terms and conditions regarding refunds, chargebacks, fees and unauthorized transactions (which we don't control). If a Lazy Prompts transaction on an item is subject to payment agents' refunds, chargeback, fees or unauthorized transactions, we may automatically deduct those amounts from your Lazy Prompts account.
  2. You or we may also decide to issue a credit or refund to a buyer in certain circumstances involving issues with your item outlined in the Lazy Prompts Refund Rules, or transactions that may be reversed for other reasons. If that happens, we reserve the right to deduct from your Lazy Prompts account any amount that would otherwise be payable to you.
  3. If you breach any warranty you have made to us we may offset any amount that we have to pay to anyone else as a result of your breach, against any payments due to you.

15. Payment errors: We will continue to hold your earnings if we're not able to pay your earnings to you for whatever reason, including if:

  1. we do not have the correct payment details;
  2. we can't contact you using the contact details that you have supplied;
  3. you have not made a request for payment; or
  4. you are asking for payment to be made to a person, an institution or a country that we're legally prohibited from making payments to, or where there are limitations in the banking systems.

16. Currency conversions: Whenever we make a payment to you as an author, you are responsible for all costs of converting the amount of the payment from US dollars into your preferred currency. Your financial institution does the currency conversion and may charge you additional fees (we don't control either the conversion rates or your financial institution's fees).

17. Holding earnings: If we decide that an item of yours does not comply with an applicable law or any of our rules or guidelines, including Lazy Prompts Terms & Services and these Author Terms, we can at our discretion disable the item or your membership. We may also hold any earnings on that item or your account for up to two years, and may release those held earnings during that period if we are satisfied that any dispute or issue about your item has been resolved.

18. Consumer laws: In some places there may be non-excludable warranties, guarantees or other rights ('non-excludable consumer guarantees'). We do not exclude, restrict or modify non-excludable consumer guarantees in these terms. Except for non-excludable consumer guarantees, we and authors are bound only by the express warranties made in these terms. Our and each author's liability for breach of a non-excludable consumer guarantee is limited, at our or the author's option, to replacing or paying the cost of replacing the relevant item or service, (unless the non-excludable consumer guarantee says otherwise).

19. Blocking a member, disabling an account or refusing to process a payment. We may block you, terminate any of your Lazy Prompts accounts or refuse to process a payment, including withholding your account balance indefinitely, if we reasonably believe there is a risk associated with you, your Lazy Prompts account, or that payment, including if it breaches a law or regulation. Examples of where we might do this include transactions where we suspect the payment is from or to a person or country sanctioned by an authority (like the United Nations, the United States government or the Australian government); or where we reasonably believe there is a legal or regulatory risk or a risk of loss being suffered by us or our members. You warrant that you are not located in a sanctioned country and are not on a sanctioned persons list. You also warrant that you will not purchase items on Lazy Prompts Market using funds sourced from a sanctioned country. We may also block members from a country if we can't make payments to or from that country. You should check what payment methods are available in your country for making payments as a buyer or for withdrawing earnings as an author. We may take any of the actions stated in this section without notice and against all of your Lazy Prompts accounts you use on other Lazy Prompts sites. If required by law we may forfeit existing deposits or earnings.

20. Withholdings. Lazy Prompts may withhold any taxes, duties, charges or levies on payments by Lazy Prompts to you pursuant to this Agreement as may be required by applicable law, rule or regulation. Lazy Prompts shall remit any such withheld taxes, duties, charges or levies to the appropriate tax authority.

  3. you will honor any express warranties given to buyers that are not contained in Lazy Prompts Terms & Services;
  4. you have rights necessary to license that item on the terms of the applicable license;
  5. the buyer's use of that item in accordance with the terms of the applicable license does not infringe the intellectual property rights of someone else;
  6. the item and its description are not false, inaccurate, misleading, fraudulent, unlawful or defamatory;

  10. you will process a buyer's information in accordance with applicable privacy law and data protection regulations.

22. If you make your items available on Lazy Prompts for free, then the warranties you make to buyers also apply to anyone who downloads your item from Lazy Prompts. In certain circumstances, we may also allow a buyer to purchase an item for another member, and in this case you also agree that these warranties apply to the member for whom the item is purchased.

23. Each author grants to each buyer of the author's items a limited indemnity on the following terms:

  1. if another person makes a claim against a buyer that the buyer's use of the item in accordance with the terms of the applicable license infringes the intellectual property or other rights of that third party; and
  2. if that buyer promptly notifies the author of the claim and gives the author the option to control the defense of the claim (at the author's cost), then the author will indemnify the buyer against damages finally awarded by a court against the buyer or any settlement damages agreed to by the author regarding that claim.

24. The liability of each author to their buyers is otherwise limited, for each item purchased, to the author's earnings from the payment for that item, except to the extent that the author's liability arises from wilful misrepresentations made about the item.

25. As an author you warrant to us that:

  1. you will not use Lazy Prompts to offer non-Lazy Prompts goods or services to buyers;
  2. you will not buy your own items;

  5. where you have marked an item as 'supported', you will provide buyers of your item with support for the included support period and any support extension period purchased, unless we agree otherwise.

26. Buyers' use of your item: We are not liable for any loss suffered by you as a result of a buyer or any other person making use of your item contrary to Lazy Prompts Terms & Services.

27. Other authors and affiliates' use of your item: An Lazy Prompts affiliate can use your item thumbnail previews in their promotion of Lazy Prompts and no compensation is due for these uses. A fellow author may use a watermarked preview of your item in a preview of another item on any Lazy Prompts Company site without requiring your permission and without compensating you. The watermarked item is credited either by providing a link to your item on Lazy Prompts or by otherwise attributing your Lazy Prompts item to you.

28. Our use of your item: We may use the whole or part of your items to promote Lazy Prompts. This promotional use may include use in public relations, emails, on a features page, or on other sites (e.g. social networks). No compensation is payable for these uses.

29. Item removal: We have the right to remove an item for any reason, using our reasonable discretion. For example, we may review the libraries to keep Lazy Prompts fresh and full of quality items that meet the latest technical standards and market trends. Also, issues about an item might be brought to our attention such as errors, representations, or even violations. Our goal is always to address these situations with you constructively. We also aim to give you notice before an item is removed, but this is not always feasible or possible, so we can't guarantee this. We will not be responsible for any loss that you may suffer as a result of your item being removed.

Special Arrangements

30. Sometimes we might negotiate volume sales or other arrangements with buyers as part of creating business development opportunities for authors (special deals). In order for us to make this possible you give us permission to negotiate special deals. We might also offer pricing promotions to Lazy Prompts buyers. Generally, this will be covered by our setting of prices (see "Setting the prices of items" above). In some cases, if pricing promotions involve a change in the author fee or terms, then it is a special promotion and the following sections are relevant.

31. Given the nature of special deals, the prices of your items under the special deal may vary from the advertised item price. This means that your earnings on the sale of your items in a special deal may not always be determined by reference to the advertised price of your item on Lazy Prompts. Given the nature of special deals and special promotions, your earnings may differ for special deals or special promotions.

32. Before your item is included in a special deal or special promotion, we'll provide you with information about the special deal or special promotion, item pricing and your earnings. You can opt out of participating in a special deal or special promotion if the deal involves a change to your earnings. We will let you know the time frame to opt out, and if you don't do so, your item will be included in the special deal or special promotion.
