1. Introduction
This Seller Agreement is the contract between Anomaa Studio and every Seller — including a Creator or Publisher — who lists a Digital Product for sale on eBodhya Marketplace. It sets out eligibility, listing standards, pricing and commission, Payouts, warranties, consumer-protection obligations, and what happens if a Seller Account is suspended or terminated. It supplements, and should be read together with, the Terms of Service.
2. Definitions
This Agreement uses the shared definitions in Anomaa Studio's canonical definitions list and the Marketplace-specific terms defined in the Privacy Policy Section 2 and Terms of Service Section 2, together with:
- "Seller Dashboard" — the Seller-facing area of the Marketplace where a Seller manages Listings, pricing, Payouts, and performance data.
- "Commission" — the portion of a Listing's sale price retained by Anomaa Studio, as described in the Creator Revenue Policy.
3. Applicability
This Agreement applies to every Seller Account, whether opened directly on the Marketplace or created by using the Marketplace Publishing feature from eBodhya Studio to list Content authored there. It does not apply to Buyer-only conduct, which is governed by the Buyer Terms.
4. Legal Entity
eBodhya™ is a trademark owned and used by Anomaa Studio, a sole proprietorship business based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India ("Anomaa Studio," "eBodhya," "we," "us," or "our"). Anomaa Studio owns and operates the entire eBodhya suite of platforms, comprising:
- eBodhya Studio — studio.ebodhya.in
- eBodhya Marketplace — marketplace.ebodhya.in
- eBodhya Schools — schools.ebodhya.in
- eBodhya Workspace — workspace.ebodhya.in
(together, the "eBodhya Platforms").
Every account, subscription, order, listing, or agreement created or entered into through any eBodhya Platform is an agreement with Anomaa Studio directly. No eBodhya Platform is owned, operated by, or offered on behalf of any third party, franchisee, reseller, school district, or unrelated entity, unless we state so expressly and in writing. eBodhya™ and the eBodhya logo are trademarks of Anomaa Studio; no license to use them is granted except as expressly permitted in writing.
In this document, "the Platform" means eBodhya Marketplace (marketplace.ebodhya.in) specifically, and "eBodhya" or the "eBodhya Platforms" means the wider suite of products described above. Where this document imposes obligations on "Anomaa Studio," those obligations are undertaken by Anomaa Studio in its capacity as operator of the Platform.
5. Privacy
Seller and Buyer Personal Data collected in connection with this Agreement — including KYC, tax, payout, and Listing-performance data — is Processed in accordance with eBodhya Marketplace's Privacy Policy. Please review the Privacy Policy for the categories of data involved, the purposes of Processing, and your rights as a Data Principal.
6. Eligibility and Verification
To become a Seller, you must: be at least eighteen (18) years old, or an institution/entity acting through an authorized adult representative; provide accurate identity information; and, where you wish to receive Payouts, complete our KYC verification, including submitting a valid PAN and, where applicable to your turnover or registration status, GST details, and bank or payout instrument details. We may decline, suspend, or delay Seller registration where verification cannot be completed or raises a compliance concern. A Creator who authored Content on eBodhya Studio and used its Marketplace Publishing feature to list it here is subject to this same verification before receiving Payouts, even though their Content originated on eBodhya Studio.
7. Listing Content and Quality Standards
Every Listing must accurately describe the Digital Product, its grade/subject/curriculum alignment where relevant, its format, and any license restrictions. Listings must meet a baseline quality standard: free of malware, functional in the stated file format, and substantially matching their description and preview. A Creator who authored their Content on eBodhya Studio must also meet the content and quality standards described in eBodhya Studio's Content Publishing Policy before using Marketplace Publishing to list it here; that policy governs authorship standards on Studio, while this Agreement governs the standards for the resulting Marketplace Listing itself.
8. Pricing and Platform Commission
Sellers set the price of their own Listings, subject to any Marketplace-wide pricing floor or promotional rules we publish from time to time. Anomaa Studio retains a Commission on each completed sale, calculated under the revenue-share framework described in the Creator Revenue Policy, which also describes how changes to the Commission rate are notified in advance. Prices must be displayed inclusive of applicable taxes as required by Applicable Law.
9. Payout Schedule and Method
Payouts are released to your verified payout instrument on the schedule and subject to the minimum threshold described in the Creator Revenue Policy, net of Commission, applicable withholding, and any deduction for a refunded or charged-back Order. You are responsible for keeping your payout details current; an incorrect or outdated payout instrument may delay your Payout.
10. Seller Warranties and Indemnity
You represent and warrant that: (a) you own, or hold a valid license sufficient to sell, all Content in each Listing, as set out in the Copyright Policy; (b) your Listings comply with this Agreement, the Acceptable Use Policy, and Applicable Law; and (c) the information you provide about yourself and your Listings is accurate and not misleading. You agree to indemnify and hold Anomaa Studio harmless from any third-party claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these warranties, your Listing Content, or your violation of Applicable Law, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
11. Consumer-Protection Obligations
As a Seller facilitating a sale through an e-commerce entity under the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, you must: provide accurate and complete descriptions of your Listings, including any material terms, expiry, or usage restrictions; display or make available a return/refund policy for your Listings consistent with the Refund Policy; provide accurate contact details for Buyer support; and cooperate with grievance redressal, including responding to a Buyer complaint or a request from us within the timelines we specify, generally five (5) business days. Failure to meet these obligations may result in enforcement under Section 15.
12. User Responsibilities
As a Seller, you must: maintain accurate and current Listing descriptions and pricing; keep your tax, payout, and KYC details up to date; respond to Buyer queries and grievances in good faith and within the timelines described in Section 11 above; comply with Applicable Law, including the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020; and promptly update or withdraw a Listing that becomes inaccurate, outdated, or non-compliant with this Agreement or Applicable Law.
13. Prohibited Listings
You may not list: Content you do not own or are not licensed to sell; Content that infringes a third party's rights; Content prohibited under the Acceptable Use Policy; non-educational or unrelated goods and services; Content designed to circumvent platform fees (for example, a Listing that is merely a pointer to an off-platform purchase); or Content misrepresented as free when it is not, or as a different grade/subject than it actually covers.
14. Suspension, Termination, and Effect on Pending Payouts
We may suspend or terminate your Seller Account for breach of this Agreement, the Acceptable Use Policy, a valid takedown notice under the Copyright Takedown Policy, or as otherwise described in Section 20 of the Terms of Service. On suspension, active Listings are unpublished and pending Payouts may be held pending investigation of a fraud, chargeback, or infringement concern; on termination for cause related to fraud or infringement, we may withhold or offset a Payout against amounts owed to us or to affected Buyers, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. Where suspension or termination is not related to such cause, any Payout already earned and not subject to a pending dispute will be released on the normal schedule described in the Creator Revenue Policy.
15. Dispute Handling with Buyers
You must respond to Buyer inquiries and complaints about your Listings through Buyer-Seller Messaging or as we direct, in accordance with the Community Guidelines. Where a Buyer is entitled to a refund under the Refund Policy, you agree that Anomaa Studio may process that refund and deduct the corresponding amount from your current or future Payout. Repeated, unresolved Buyer complaints against your Listings may result in enforcement under the Acceptable Use Policy ladder.
16. AI
Automated fraud, spam, and fake-review detection, and automated listing-content moderation, may flag or act on your Listings as described in the AI Usage Policy, which also describes your right to request human review of an adverse automated decision such as an automated takedown.
17. Data Processing
Your KYC, tax, and sales data is Processed as described in the Privacy Policy and the DPDP Act.
18. Cookies
Not separately applicable; see the Cookie Policy.
19. Third-Party Services
Payouts and KYC verification are performed through our Payment Processor, described in the Security Statement and Privacy Policy.
20. Security
You must keep your Seller Dashboard credentials and payout instrument details secure and notify us immediately of any suspected compromise, as described in the Security Statement.
21. Retention and Deletion
Your sales, Payout, and tax records are retained per the Data Retention Policy regardless of Account deletion, and the effect of deleting your Seller Account on Listings and pending Payouts is described in the Data Deletion Policy.
22. Intellectual Property
Ownership of your Listing Content, the Marketing License you grant us, and the License a Buyer receives are described in the Intellectual Property Policy and Licensing Policy.
23. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, Anomaa Studio's aggregate liability to you under this Agreement is limited to the Commission-inclusive Payouts you earned in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, and Anomaa Studio is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Nothing in this Agreement excludes liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or a right that cannot be waived under Applicable Law.
24. Disclaimer
The Seller Dashboard, recommendation placements, and analytics we provide are made available "as is," without guarantee of a particular sales volume or ranking.
25. Termination
Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Warranties and Indemnity, Intellectual Property, Limitation of Liability, and any accrued payment obligations — survive termination of this Agreement.
26. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
This Marketplace Seller Agreement and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to it, the Platform, or the Services (a "Dispute") is governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
The parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation for thirty (30) days after one party gives the other written notice of the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within that period, it will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in Bengaluru, Karnataka, under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, before a sole arbitrator appointed by Anomaa Studio. The arbitration will be conducted in English, and the seat and venue of arbitration will be Bengaluru, Karnataka. The award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties.
Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief before a competent court at any time. Subject to the arbitration agreement above, the courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any Dispute not subject to arbitration and over any proceeding to enforce an arbitral award.
27. Jurisdiction
Without prejudice to the arbitration agreement above, the Platform is directed at Users in India, and Anomaa Studio makes no representation that the Platform or its Content is appropriate or lawfully available in other locations. Users who access the Platform from outside India do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local law.
28. Changes to This Agreement
We may update this Agreement from time to time to reflect changes in the Services, Applicable Law, or our practices, including changes to Commission rates governed by the notice period in the Creator Revenue Policy. We will post the revised version on the Platform with an updated "Effective Date" and, for material changes, will provide reasonable advance notice through the Platform, by email, or by an in-product notice, as appropriate to the change and the audience of the Platform. Continuing to list or sell Digital Products after the revised Agreement takes effect constitutes acceptance of the changes. Where Applicable Law requires your express consent to a change (for example, a material change to how we Process Personal Data of a Child), we will seek that consent before the change takes effect.
