Merchant terms

Plain version: you are the seller. SaturnShop is the software your store runs on. The money goes from your buyer to you, not through us. If you sell something on the banned list, your store gets switched off.

1 · Who is who

SaturnShop (“the platform”, “we”) is store software operated by Eleazar Perez. You are the merchant: the person or business running a storefront on it. A buyer is someone who orders from your store.

We host and display your store. We are not a party to anything you sell. We do not own your products, your customers, or your customer list.

2 · You are the seller of record

This is the clause that matters most. For everything sold through your storefront, you are the legal seller. That means you are responsible for:

• the product itself, including safety, labelling and whether it is legal to sell where you sell it;
• collecting and remitting any sales tax or VAT that applies to your sales — the platform does not calculate, collect or remit tax for you;
• shipping, fulfilment and delivery timelines;
• returns, refunds, exchanges and customer service;
• every claim you make in a product description.

You must have the legal right to sell what you list, and to use every image, name and mark you put on your store.

3 · Where the money goes

Stated plainly because it changes who carries the risk:

• Crypto checkout sends your buyer to a payment link that you configure and you control. Those funds go directly to you. They never touch a SaturnShop account.
• Card checkout is currently switched off platform-wide. No store can take a card payment today. If and when it is enabled, we will state at that time whose account processes it, because that answer changes who is responsible for chargebacks.
• Crypto payments are not reversible and carry no chargeback mechanism. Your buyers should understand that before they pay, and your refund policy should say how you handle it.
• Nothing about crypto confirms itself. The platform marks an order awaiting_crypto and it stays there until you confirm the payment landed and mark it paid. No system watches the chain for you.

4 · What it costs

Running a store on SaturnShop currently costs nothing, and we take no percentage of your sales. If that changes, you get notice before it applies to you, per section 10.

5 · Acceptable use

While using SaturnShop you may not:

• sell anything on the prohibited list in section 6;
• misrepresent what you are selling, who is fulfilling it, or when it will arrive;
• post fake reviews, fake scarcity, or fake sold-out and restock signals;
• use the platform to send unsolicited bulk email, or to collect buyer data for anything other than fulfilling that buyer's order;
• point your store's payment link at anything other than a payment page for your own goods;
• attempt to reach another merchant's store data, probe or attack the platform, or share your login;
• automate or script the platform in a way that degrades it for anyone else.

6 · What you may not sell

This list follows what mainstream payment processors and the card networks treat as off-limits. It applies whether or not you are taking card payments, because it is also the list we check an application against.

7 · Your store can be switched off

We can move a store to suspended, reject an application, or remove listings — immediately and without notice — if we believe it is selling something in section 6, breaking section 5, defrauding buyers, or exposing the platform to legal or payment-processing risk.

Every status change is recorded with who made it, when, and why. If your store is suspended you can ask for that reason. You keep access to your own order and product data for at least 30 days so you can move elsewhere.

You can stop using SaturnShop at any time. Tell us and we will close the store.

8 · What we do not promise

SaturnShop is provided as-is. There is no uptime guarantee and no service-level agreement. It is a small platform run by one person, and it can go down, lose a feature, or change. Back up anything you cannot afford to lose — the admin has CSV export.

To the extent the law allows it, we are not liable for lost profits, lost sales, or indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform. Since the platform is free, a fee-based liability cap would be meaningless; treat our total liability as limited to putting the software back into working order.

9 · You cover us for your own sales

If someone brings a claim against SaturnShop because of something you sold — product liability, an IP or counterfeit claim, unpaid sales tax, a consumer complaint — you are responsible for it, including reasonable legal costs. This is the natural consequence of section 2: you are the seller, so the seller's obligations are yours.

10 · Changes to these terms

These terms carry a version, and the version you agreed to is recorded against your store when you create it. If we change them materially — anything touching money, liability, or what you are allowed to sell — you get notice by email to your store's contact address, and continued use after the effective date means you accept the new version. Typo fixes do not trigger that.

11 · Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA. Talk to us first — almost everything is solvable by email.
