Marketplace Seller Terms

Effective date: October 14, 2026 Last updated: October 14, 2026

These terms apply if you sell products, gift cards, services, or event tickets ("Items") to buyers through allthethings.gay, including through a branded storefront ("Seller," "you"). They're an agreement between you and Embarc Creative Co. LLC, an Arkansas limited liability company doing business as allthethings.gay ("we," "us"). Our Terms of Use and Business Terms also apply. If terms conflict, these terms win for marketplace sales.

1. How the Marketplace Works

You are the seller. Every sale is a contract between you and the buyer. You are the merchant of record: the buyer's card statement shows your business, you receive the money, and you're responsible for the Item, fulfillment, customer service, returns, refunds, taxes, and disputes.
We provide the venue. We display your Items and storefront and connect your checkout to your own Stripe account. We are not a party to your sales, we don't take possession of Items or funds, and we're not your agent, partner, or employer.
We don't take a cut of your sales. We charge no per-sale commission or transaction fee. Stripe charges you its own processing fees under your agreement with Stripe.

2. Who Can Sell

To sell, you must:

Be a business (or sole proprietor) with a claimed listing on allthethings.gay and hold the Verified badge.
Be at least 18 and located in the United States for now, with a U.S. bank account.
Connect a Stripe account in good standing and complete Stripe's identity verification.
Give us accurate business information and keep it current.

3. Payments Through Stripe

Payment processing services for Sellers on allthethings.gay are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the "Stripe Services Agreement"). By agreeing to these terms or continuing to operate as a Seller on allthethings.gay, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of allthethings.gay enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide allthethings.gay accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize allthethings.gay to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.

When you provide personal data in connection with setting up payments, Stripe receives that personal data and processes it in accordance with the Stripe Privacy Policy. Information about the financial institutions that sponsor Stripe's card acquiring is in Stripe's acquirer disclosure.

Payments are made directly to your Stripe account ("direct charges"). Payouts, reserves, holds, and processing fees are governed by your agreement with Stripe. Stripe may restrict or close your account under its own terms, and we can't override that. You must also follow Stripe's list of restricted and prohibited businesses.
