Creator Terms
Version 1.0 · Effective August 23, 2026 · Last updated August 23, 2026
Who this is for
Anyone publishing projects on BestExperimentIdeas. Publishing is free. These terms apply in addition to the Terms of Service, and the money parts apply once you choose to make a project premium.
Current marketplace terms
These values are read live from the platform configuration:
| Platform fee on a premium sale | 20% of the gross sale |
|---|---|
| Creator share | 80% of the gross sale |
| Payout hold after a sale | 14 days |
| Minimum balance before a payout runs | $25 USD |
| Allowed premium price range | $1 – $99 USD |
| Payouts currently | Enabled |
How a premium sale is split
A buyer pays the gross sale price. The platform fee of 20% is deducted and the remaining 80% is recorded as your earning. On a $20 sale that is a $4.00 fee and $16.00 to you. The fee covers payment processing, hosting, delivery and platform operation.
Prices must sit between $1 and $99 USD. If the configuration changes, this page and your creator dashboard show the new values.
Getting paid
- Payouts run through Stripe Connect. You complete Stripe's onboarding — identity and bank details go to Stripe, not to us.
- Each earning is held for 14 days after the sale before it becomes available. The hold covers refunds and disputes.
- Available earnings are paid out once your available balance reaches $25 USD.
- Payouts are made in US dollars.
- Payout status, pending balance, available balance and history are on your creator dashboard.
We do not promise payout timing beyond the configured hold and minimum. Details are in the Payout Policy.
Refunds, adjustments and chargebacks
If a sale is refunded, the earning attached to it is reversed. If it had not been paid out, it leaves your pending balance. If it had already been paid out, a negative adjustment for the same amount is booked and deducted from your next payout. Card chargebacks are handled the same way once Stripe resolves the dispute. See the Refund Policy.
Your responsibilities as a creator
- Accuracy: the project must describe what you actually did, with real materials, steps and results.
- Rights: you must own or be licensed for every image, video, dataset and passage of text you publish.
- Safety: declare hazards honestly and state the supervision, PPE and conditions a build needs.
- Support: answer reasonable buyer questions about a premium project you sell.
- Availability: if you unpublish a premium project, buyers who already paid keep their access.
- Taxes: you are responsible for reporting and paying any tax on your earnings. We do not provide tax advice, and we do not withhold on your behalf unless a payment provider is legally required to.
If a project breaks the rules
Projects that breach the Community Guidelines or Content Policy can be unlisted or removed. For serious breaches — infringement, fabricated results, unsafe instructions, payment abuse — sales are stopped and pending earnings can be withheld while we review, and refunded to buyers where appropriate.
