Publisher Agreement.

New document — published 2026-08-08, pending counsel review.

1. Scope

This agreement applies to any account that applies to publish or publishes a catalogue on Airheart. It supplements the Terms of Service; where the two conflict for publisher matters, this agreement governs. Acceptance is recorded at application, together with the version accepted.

2. Application fee

The publisher application carries a one-time fee, disclosed before payment. The fee is non-refundable, including where the application is declined. It is a review fee, not a purchase of publication rights. Invited publishers may be exempted from the fee.

3. Content ownership & licence

You retain all rights in your catalogue content. You grant Airheart a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, display, excerpt for preview and search, and distribute the catalogue through Airheart surfaces, and to produce the derived projections necessary to render it.

The licence survives for purchased versions. For each published version a buyer has purchased, the licence continues — for that version — for as long as the buyer retains the entitlement, even if you unpublish, edit, or terminate. This is what makes a buyer's purchase durable, and the Terms' §4.2 licence mirrors it.

4. Publication & versioning

Publishing creates an immutable version. Buyers are entitled to the version current at their purchase; editing a published catalogue creates a new version rather than altering what existing buyers own.

5. Warranties

You warrant that:

• you own, or hold a licence covering, everything you publish — including imagery;
• your catalogue is not misleading as to sponsorship or affiliation;
• any commercial relationship that materially affects a recommendation is disclosed in the catalogue itself.

6. Revenue share & payouts

Airheart's share of each sale is the commission in effect at the time of that sale, resolved at checkout and recorded against the purchase; the recorded rate governs that sale permanently. Rate changes apply only to later sales.

Payouts settle through Stripe Connect to your connected account, under Stripe's terms and identity verification. Airheart does not hold your funds outside the payment processor.

7. Chargebacks, refunds, holds

A reversed sale reverses the revenue share at the recorded rate — the refund path reverses the transfer and the platform fee together. Airheart may hold a payout on a good-faith suspicion of fraud, infringement, or a warranty breach.

8. Taxes

Your taxes are your own obligation. Valid tax documentation is required before payout.

9. Termination

Either party can terminate. On termination your catalogues are delisted from discovery; buyer entitlements survive per §3; earned amounts settle normally; the application fee is not refunded.

10. Suspension

Airheart may suspend publication for a warranty breach, repeated copyright infringement, or a violation of the Terms' acceptable-use rules.
