Memberships Seller Terms

1. Summary

• You are the seller. Members buy from you and pay you directly, through your own PayPal account and/or your own NOWPayments account (cryptocurrency).
• BotGG is a software tool. It shows your tiers, sends buyers to your PayPal or NOWPayments checkout and gives or removes roles. It never receives, holds or pays out the money.
• BotGG takes no commission on your sales.
• You are responsible for your prices, taxes, receipts, refunds (including refunds of cryptocurrency payments), disputes and your duties to buyers under consumer law.

2. What BotGG provides

2.1. Memberships lets you create paid tiers ("Memberships"), show them in your Server and in a checkout page, send buyers to PayPal or NOWPayments to pay you, and give buyers the Discord roles of their tier for as long as the provider reports the subscription as active or the prepaid period they paid for runs.

2.2. BotGG is not a party to the sale between you and the buyer. BotGG is not your agent for collecting money, is not a payment service, a marketplace or a merchant of record, and never holds funds for you or for buyers. Payments go from the buyer to your PayPal or NOWPayments account under that provider's terms.

2.3. BotGG processes the buyers' personal data needed for Memberships on your behalf, as your processor, under the Data Processing Addendum and the Privacy Policy. You are the controller of that data.

3. Who can sell

3.1. Only the owner of the Discord server can accept these Seller Terms and connect or disconnect a payment account. By accepting, you confirm that you own the Server and are at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live.

3.2. You must connect a PayPal and/or NOWPayments account that you own or are authorised to use, that can receive payments, and that you use in line with that provider's terms: for PayPal, its user agreement and Acceptable Use Policy; for NOWPayments, its terms of use, including any identity checks and any restrictions on countries, coins or goods.

4. Your duties as the seller

You are the merchant for every Membership you sell. In particular, you are responsible for:

• prices and the offer: the price, currency, billing interval, trials and the roles of each tier, and what those roles unlock (channels, content, perks);
• delivering what you promise for as long as the buyer has paid for it;
• seller details: the seller details you enter in the console are shown to buyers at checkout. You must enter the details the law requires of you (for example your name and a contact address);
• taxes: registering, charging, declaring and paying any VAT, sales tax or income tax due on your sales, including the tax and accounting treatment of cryptocurrency you receive;
• receipts and invoices that the law requires you to issue to buyers;
• cancellations, refunds and disputes: handling buyers' requests, PayPal disputes and chargebacks, refunds of cryptocurrency payments (section 6A), and the rights buyers have under consumer law (for example the Israeli Consumer Protection Law, and the right of withdrawal in the EU, EEA and UK);
• the immediate-access consent: BotGG's checkout asks buyers to request immediate access and to acknowledge the loss of the right of withdrawal where the law allows. The consent is given to you; BotGG records it for you and shows it in the console. You are responsible for confirming it to the buyer where the law requires;
• your buyers' personal data, as controller, including answering their requests.

5. What you may sell

5.1. Memberships may be used only to sell Discord roles on your Server, and the access and perks that come with them (for example private channels, content, events or support from you).

5.2. You must not sell, or attach to a tier:

• anything illegal, or anything that breaks Discord's Terms of Service or Community Guidelines, PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy or our Acceptable Use Policy;
• sexual content involving minors, or adult content without the age restriction Discord requires;
• gambling, betting or lotteries, or any chance to win money or items of real-world value;
• Server coins, XP, levels or other Virtual Items, or anything exchangeable for them (Terms section 14 and AUP item 8);
• Discord Nitro, Server Boosts, Discord accounts or Server ownership, or gift codes for them;
• game cheats, stolen or shared accounts, counterfeit goods, weapons, drugs, or financial schemes that promise returns;
• anything deceptive, including perks you don't deliver.

5.3. A tier can't give a role with the Administrator permission. You must explicitly confirm before a tier gives other powerful permissions, and you are responsible for the result.

5.4. "Lifetime" means access for as long as you offer that tier and run Memberships on your Server. It is not a promise of access forever.

6. Your payment account credentials

6.1. To run checkout and role sync for you, you give BotGG access to your payment accounts: your PayPal account (API credentials, or another connection method PayPal offers) and/or your NOWPayments account (API key and IPN secret). You authorise BotGG to use them only to operate Memberships for your Server:

• PayPal: to create plans and checkouts, verify payments, receive and verify PayPal notifications ("webhooks"), read the status of payments and subscriptions, and cancel or refund when you ask in the console, or when a buyer cancels their own subscription through BotGG;
• NOWPayments: to create payment invoices, receive and verify NOWPayments payment notifications ("IPN") and read the status of payments made for your Server. BotGG does not use your NOWPayments credentials to send, convert, withdraw or refund funds.

6.2. How we protect them. We store the credentials encrypted, never show the secret again after you save it, limit access to systems that need it, and never use the credentials for any other purpose or share them with anyone except the provider they belong to. We delete them when you disconnect (section 10).

6.3. What you must do. Where PayPal allows, use credentials created only for BotGG. Keep your payment accounts secure. If you think your credentials have been exposed, rotate or revoke them in PayPal or NOWPayments immediately and tell us at info@botgg.app.

6.4. BotGG tells you without undue delay if it learns that your credentials were accessed without authorisation (see the Data Processing Addendum).

6A. Cryptocurrency payments (NOWPayments)

6A.1. Prepaid periods. Cryptocurrency can't be charged automatically. Through NOWPayments, a monthly or yearly tier is sold as a prepaid period of one month or one year that does not renew automatically, and a lifetime tier as a single payment. Free trials are not available with cryptocurrency. BotGG may remind buyers by Discord direct message before a period ends, with a renewal link; a payment made before the end adds the new period after the current one. When a period ends without a new payment, the roles are removed after your grace period.

6A.2. Coin and exchange rate. You set the price in the tier's currency. The buyer chooses the coin on the NOWPayments payment page, from the coins your NOWPayments account accepts. NOWPayments calculates the amount of cryptocurrency from your price at the exchange rate when the buyer pays. What you finally receive, any conversion to another currency and the related fees are between you and NOWPayments. BotGG is not responsible for exchange-rate movements, network fees, blockchain delays, or funds a buyer sends to a wrong address or network.

6A.3. When access starts. BotGG gives the roles only when NOWPayments reports a payment as finished. A partly paid invoice does not start a Membership; if you decide to accept an underpayment, you mark it as finished in your NOWPayments account. A payment that doesn't match the invoice (for example another amount or currency, or a repeated deposit) is flagged for your review in the console instead of being granted.

6A.4. Refunds are your business. Cryptocurrency payments are final on the blockchain, and BotGG can't refund, reverse or cancel them. Any refund of a cryptocurrency payment, whether voluntary or required by consumer law, is made by you, through your NOWPayments account or your own wallet, under the law that applies to the sale. When NOWPayments reports a refund, BotGG records it in your sales history and flags the Membership for your review; BotGG does not remove the roles automatically, and you decide in the console whether to revoke or keep access.

6A.5. Your wallet and your NOWPayments account. You are responsible for meeting NOWPayments' requirements, for the wallet that receives your payouts and for keeping its keys safe. BotGG never holds cryptocurrency for you or for buyers and never has access to your wallet, its private keys or your funds.

6A.6. Affiliate link. Where you have not connected NOWPayments yet, the console may show a link to create a NOWPayments account. This is an affiliate (referral) link, and it is labelled as such: BotGG may receive a referral reward from NOWPayments if you sign up through it. Using it is optional; you can sign up with NOWPayments directly. It does not change these Seller Terms, BotGG's fees (there are none) or how Memberships works for you, and BotGG does not act for NOWPayments or answer for its services.

7. Fees

7.1. BotGG charges no fee or commission on Membership payments. PayPal and NOWPayments charge their own fees under their terms, and cryptocurrency payments may also carry network fees.

7.2. Your BotGG plan (for example Pro) is a separate subscription under the Terms of Service. Some Memberships limits or options may depend on it (for example the number of tiers, yearly and lifetime tiers and free trials). Without Pro, the checkout page shows a "Powered by BotGG" line.

8. Suspension and abuse

8.1. We may, with or without notice, stop new sales, hide your checkout, pause role sync or switch Memberships off for your Server if we reasonably believe that:

• you are selling something section 5 does not allow;
• there is fraud, a scam, a high rate of complaints or disputes, or a risk to buyers;
• you breached these Seller Terms, the Terms of Service or the Acceptable Use Policy;
• PayPal, NOWPayments, Discord or the law requires it.

8.2. Where it is needed to protect buyers (for example when you are not delivering what was sold), you authorise BotGG to cancel active PayPal subscriptions through your connected account so that buyers are not charged again, and to stop selling renewals of prepaid periods. We do not move or refund money for you.

8.3. We tell you the reason unless the law or the safety of others prevents it. You can contact us at info@botgg.app to ask for a review.

9. Liability and indemnity

9.1. The disclaimers and limits of liability in the Terms of Service apply. BotGG is not responsible for your sales, products, prices, taxes or communication with buyers, or for the acts, fees, holds, outages or decisions of PayPal, NOWPayments or Discord, or for the cryptocurrency risks described in section 6A. BotGG is not responsible for roles that can't be given because of your Server's setup (for example a role placed above BotGG's role).

9.2. To the extent the law allows, you will indemnify BotGG against claims, fines, taxes and reasonable costs brought by buyers, PayPal, NOWPayments, tax authorities or other third parties that arise from your sales, your Memberships content, or your breach of these Seller Terms or the law, except to the extent BotGG caused them.

10. Ending and disconnecting

10.1. You can stop selling at any time by archiving your tiers, switching Memberships off or disconnecting your payment accounts in the console.

10.2. Disconnecting PayPal does not cancel buyers' subscriptions in PayPal. Before you disconnect, cancel the subscriptions you no longer want to deliver (the console lets you do this), or keep delivering what buyers paid for. After you disconnect, BotGG can no longer check those payments, so it stops giving or removing those Membership roles. If you disconnect NOWPayments, buyers can no longer pay or renew with cryptocurrency through it; prepaid periods already paid for run until their end date, and you remain responsible for delivering them.

10.3. When you disconnect, we delete the credentials of that payment account and stop using it. Your sales history is kept as described in the Privacy Policy.

10.4. If BotGG is removed from your Server, or your Server's data is deleted under the Terms of Service, Memberships stops working for it in the same way.

11. Changes

We may change these Seller Terms with at least 14 days' notice in the console. For a material change, you will be asked to accept the new version before you can create or edit tiers.
