Effective Date: January 1, 2025

Welcome to YouTribe. The following Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between YouTribe.me (a service owned and operated by Ventture Group, Inc.) ("Ventture", "YouTribe," "we," "our," or "us") and the individuals or entities ("Users," "Sellers," or "Buyers") accessing or utilizing the YouTribe website (www.youtribe.me), mobile applications, and all associated services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing, browsing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, along with our Privacy Policy and all other applicable policies and guidelines.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease using the Service. Continued use of the Service constitutes your acceptance of any modifications or amendments to these Terms.

1. SCOPE OF SERVICES

YouTribe is a digital commerce and community platform that enables content creators, educators, and business owners ("Sellers") to establish and manage online communities, market digital products, and offer memberships and other services to end-users ("Buyers"). Buyers are required to create an account with YouTribe in order to purchase, access, and engage with Sellers’ offerings.

YouTribe serves solely as an intermediary facilitating transactions between Sellers and Buyers. We do not assume ownership, control, or liability for the products or services offered by Sellers, nor do we provide any warranties regarding the quality, safety, legality, or suitability of such products or services.

YouTribe offers the following services:

YouTribe Marketplace: A centralized digital marketplace where Sellers list their offerings and Buyers make purchases directly through the platform.

YouTribe Payments: A transaction infrastructure that enables Sellers to accept payments for their services, either through the YouTribe platform or via external integrations.

All payments are processed through third-party financial service providers, and YouTribe does not directly process or store payment information.

2. ELIGIBILITY AND ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

To utilize the YouTribe Service, you must:

Be at least 13 years of age or the minimum legal age required in your jurisdiction.

Have full legal capacity to enter into a contract.

Not have been previously suspended or removed from the Service for violations of these Terms.

Ensure that all account information provided is accurate, truthful, and up to date.

Entities registering an account on behalf of a business or organization must ensure that the individual accepting these Terms has the requisite legal authority to bind the entity to this agreement.

You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and all activities conducted under your account. If you suspect unauthorized access, you must notify contact[at]youtribe.me immediately.

3. TRANSACTIONS, FEES, AND PAYMENTS

Fees and Pricing: Sellers retain discretion in determining the pricing of their offerings. YouTribe may impose transaction fees or platform service charges, which are disclosed in our "fee schedule" policy available from this site.

Payouts to Sellers: Net earnings, after applicable deductions (including platform fees, taxes, and processing charges), will be remitted to Sellers according to YouTribe’s payout schedule and payment processor policies.

Withholding Taxes. In some instances, YouTribe may have agreed, in its sole discretion, to serve as the merchant of record for a given transaction related to the Services. As the merchant of record, YouTribe may be obligated to withhold tax amounts from payments to Sellers. YouTribe may withhold from any amounts payable to Sellers such federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, as determined in YouTribe’s sole discretion. In instances where YouTribe is not the merchant of record, YouTribe does not bear any legal obligation or responsibility to, and will not, collect, report, and remit any such taxes on behalf of a Seller under any circumstances.

Chargebacks and Disputes: Buyers must communicate directly with Sellers regarding refund or dispute resolution. In the event of fraudulent transactions, excessive chargebacks, or non-compliance with these Terms, YouTribe reserves the right to withhold or recover funds from Sellers.
