5.3 Digital Marketplace Representations

When selling digital products you represent you have the right to do so and that they do not infringe third-party rights. You are responsible for any required licensing or royalties.

6. Payments, Billing & Virtual Currency (Hobbix)

6.1 Hobbix System

  • Hobbix is Hobbestie's virtual currency for in-app transactions (premium features, boosts, tips, creator rewards). Hobbix has no independent monetary value and cannot be exchanged for real currency outside the platform.
  • On iOS, Hobbix tokens must be purchased through Apple's In-App Purchase (IAP) system. On Android, Hobbix must be purchased through Google Play Billing or other authorized in-app billing systems as required by platform rules.
  • Tokens are consumable and non-transferable between accounts. Hobbestie may adjust token values, availability, or expiration policies. Refunds for token purchases are provided only as required by law or at Hobbestie's discretion and in accordance with platform policies.

6.2 Real-Money Purchases & Digital Products (Web-only)

  • Digital Products (templates, ebooks, presets, tutorials, downloadable files) can only be purchased via the Hobbestie web platform (hobbestie.com). The mobile apps allow browsing and previewing digital items but do not facilitate payment or in-app download of digital files.
  • After a successful web purchase, buyers access and download digital files through their Hobbestie web account. Hobbestie may provide secure backend delivery mechanisms (expiring links, authenticated downloads) and may limit/revoke access if policies are violated.
  • The app will not include direct in-app links, buttons, or prompts that initiate external web checkout for digital goods in a manner that violates App Store or Google Play policies. Static informational messages guiding users to the website are permitted (e.g., "To purchase this item, visit hobbestie.com"), provided they comply with platform rules.

6.3 Premium Memberships & Billing

Premium memberships, if offered, are billed in advance on a recurring basis. You authorize Hobbestie (and its third-party payment processors) to charge applicable fees. Payment details are processed by third-party providers and Hobbestie does not store payment card data.

6.4 Fees & Commission

Hobbestie may charge: a listing fee (if applicable), a transaction fee/commission on sales, and payment processing fees (gateway/bank/processor fees). Platform fees (Apple/Google) apply to in-app purchases and will be passed through as required.

7. Delivery, Refunds & Disputes

7.1 Delivery & Access

Digital product delivery is web-only. Mobile apps may preview items but cannot provide downloadable copies for purchase made on the web. Download links may expire and access may be revoked for policy violations.

7.2 Refunds

  • Digital Products: Generally non-refundable once delivered/downloaded, except where required by law (e.g., defective or misrepresented products) or in special cases determined by Hobbestie.
  • Hobbix Tokens / In-App Purchases: Refunds are subject to platform rules (Apple/Google) and Hobbestie's refund policies; generally non-refundable except in cases of fraud or error.
  • Physical Products: Subject to separate return/refund policies (if applicable).
  • For disputes or claims of non-delivery, contact support; Hobbestie will investigate and may issue refunds where appropriate. In case of chargebacks, Hobbestie may withhold creator payouts pending resolution.

8. Taxes & Payouts

Prices may be shown exclusive or inclusive of taxes depending on region. Hobbestie may collect applicable taxes (VAT/GST) where required. Sellers are responsible for their tax obligations related to sales proceeds. Hobbestie will comply with tax reporting requirements as required by law.

9. Rights, Licensing & Content Removal

Creators retain ownership of their content but grant Hobbestie the right to host, display, and deliver items sold on the platform. Buyers receive a non-exclusive license to use purchased digital products per the usage terms stated with the product listing (personal vs. commercial licensing must be clearly indicated by the seller). Redistribution without authorization is prohibited.

Hobbestie may suspend, remove, or revoke content or access if it violates Terms, infringes IP, is illegal, or poses other risks.

10. App Store & Google Play Compliance

Hobbestie follows Apple and Google policies: digital goods consumed in the app must be sold via the platform's in-app billing if they unlock features used in the app; therefore, Hobbestie uses IAP for Hobbix tokens and directs digital product purchases to the web to avoid in-app delivery that would require IAP.

Hobbestie will not include in-app links or calls-to-action that improperly steer users to external purchasing flows for digital goods in a way that violates app store rules. Language and UI must be neutral and informational where permitted.

11. Prohibited Conduct & Content

No illegal, infringing, hateful, sexually explicit, violent, or otherwise harmful content. No instructions that facilitate wrongdoing. No impersonation or fraud. Follow Community Guidelines and copyright rules (including DMCA takedown processes where applicable).

12. Privacy & Data Protection

Hobbestie's collection and use of personal data is governed by the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. By using the Service you consent to the collection, storage, and processing of information as set out in the Privacy Policy.

13. Disclaimers & Limitations of Liability

13.1 Service Availability

Hobbestie strives for reliability but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. Maintenance or outages may occur.

13.2 Content Accuracy

Hobbestie does not endorse or verify user-generated content; users are responsible for their interactions.

13.3 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Hobbestie is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages (including loss of profits, data, or goodwill) arising from your use of the Service.

14. Termination

14.1 By You

You may terminate your account at any time via account settings or by contacting support.

14.2 By Us

Hobbestie may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or harm the Service or other users.

14.3 Effect of Termination

15. Dispute Resolution & Governing Law

15.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Republic of Indonesia.

15.2 Dispute Resolution

Disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to prevent irreparable harm.

  • Location: Jakarta, Indonesia
  • Language: English
  • Class Action Waiver: You agree to resolve disputes individually, not as part of a class action, collective action, or representative proceeding
  • Small Claims Exception: Either party may bring claims in small claims court if the claims qualify

16. General Provisions

16.1 Entire Agreement

16.2 Severability

If a provision is found unenforceable, other provisions remain in effect.

16.3 Waiver

Failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of that right.
