Marketplace Developer Terms

Last updated: October 6, 2026

1. Introduction and Scope

These Marketplace Developer Terms (“Developer Terms”) govern your participation as a developer (“Developer,” “you”) in the Agentic Marketplace operated by Agentic Tech LLC (“Agentic,” “we,” “us”). By submitting an agent to the Marketplace, or by connecting a Stripe account to receive Marketplace earnings, you agree to these terms in addition to our general Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

These terms cover the listing, sale, distribution, and support of AI agents (“Agents”) through the Agentic Marketplace at agentic-plugin.com/marketplace/.

The Terms of Service apply to you as well, including their disclaimers, limitation of liability and dispute-resolution (arbitration) sections. If these Developer Terms conflict with the Terms of Service on a Marketplace matter, these Developer Terms control.

2. Eligibility and Developer Registration

2.1 Eligibility

  • You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract. If you register on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorised to bind it.
  • You must not be subject to U.S. or other applicable sanctions, or located in a country or region where Stripe cannot pay you.
  • You must be able to complete Stripe’s identity verification (see Section 6.3) before you can receive any earnings.

2.2 Your Account

  • You must create a developer account with accurate, complete information and keep it up to date.
  • You are responsible for all activity under your account.
  • You must maintain a valid email address for communication about your listings.
  • One developer account per person or company, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
  • Accounts may be suspended or terminated for violations of these terms.

2.3 Seller Vetting

Because we are responsible to our payment processor for the sellers on our platform, we review developers as well as Agents. We may ask you for information to confirm your identity, your business, or your rights in an Agent, and we may refuse or end your participation if you do not provide it or if we are not satisfied with the result. Approval of a developer or an Agent is not an endorsement or a guarantee of that developer or Agent.

3. Intellectual Property and Licensing

3.1 Ownership

You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to submit, distribute, and sell each Agent, including all text, prompts, images, and other assets in it. You retain ownership of your code.

3.2 GPL Compatibility

All Agents must be licensed under the GNU General Public License v2 or later (GPLv2+), or a GPL-compatible license. All included third-party code, libraries, and assets must also be GPL-compatible.

3.3 License Grant to Agentic

By submitting an Agent, you grant Agentic a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, review, test, distribute, display, and promote your Agent (including its name, description, screenshots, and your developer name) on the Marketplace and in our marketing. This license continues for existing buyers after termination.

3.4 Trademarks

You may not use “Agentic,” “Agent Builder,” “WordPress,” or other trademarked names in your Agent slug or title without written authorization. Third-party brand references must follow the format “Agent Name for Brand” rather than “Brand Agent Name.”

3.5 Infringement Claims

If we receive a credible claim that an Agent infringes someone else’s rights (including a DMCA notice), we may remove or disable the listing while the claim is resolved and may hold related earnings under Section 8.

4. Code Quality and Security

4.1 Technical Standards

  • Agents are declarative: a valid agent.json manifest plus an abilities.json file declaring tools and risk levels.
  • No PHP or other executable code — Agents run sandboxed inside Agent Builder.
  • WordPress 6.4+ with a current Agent Builder version required.
  • No hard-coded API keys, credentials, or secrets.
  • Declared capabilities must match what the Agent actually does.

4.2 Security Requirements

  • No backdoors, malware, tracking scripts, or malicious instructions (including hidden instructions designed to manipulate an AI model, such as prompt-injection payloads).
  • abilities.json must honestly declare every tool and its risk level — undeclared capabilities are grounds for rejection.
  • Agents must not exfiltrate site data, credentials, or user content.
  • Agents must not be designed to bypass Agent Builder’s safety controls (risk ratings, approvals, activity log, snapshots, or Emergency Stop).

4.3 Data Handling

  • Agents that process personal data must comply with GDPR, CCPA, and applicable privacy laws.
  • Obtain explicit user consent before collecting or transmitting data to external services.
  • No unauthorized tracking, analytics, or external data transmission.
  • Clearly document any third-party API connections in your Agent’s README.

4.4 Security Vulnerabilities in Listed Agents

Security reports about Marketplace Agents come in through our vulnerability disclosure programme with Patchstack (patchstack.com/database/vdp/…) or [email protected]. If you learn of a vulnerability in your own Agent, report it to us the same way.

  • When we send you a report, you must acknowledge it within 3 business days.
  • You must release a fix for critical and high-severity issues within 14 days, and for medium-severity issues within 30 days, of our notice (or sooner if the issue is being actively exploited).
  • Do not disclose an unfixed vulnerability publicly before a fix is available, except as we agree.
  • Until a fix is released, we may pause sales, delist the Agent, disable its licence updates, publish an advisory, and notify buyers. If you do not respond or fix in time, we may remove the Agent permanently.

5. Submission, Review and Approval

5.1 Requirements

Each submission must include:

  • A complete agent.json manifest (name, description, version, author, category).
  • An abilities.json manifest declaring tools and risk levels.
  • A README.md with usage instructions and tool documentation.
  • All assets bundled in a single ZIP archive.
  • Accurate description, category, version, and pricing information.

5.2 Review

Every Agent is reviewed and must be approved by us before it is listed. Reviews typically take 1–2 business days. We may request changes before approval. Updates to a listed Agent may also be reviewed before they are released to buyers.

Our review checks submissions against these terms; it is not a security audit or a guarantee that an Agent is free of defects. You remain responsible for your Agent.

5.3 Rejection

Rejected submissions receive feedback. You may resubmit after addressing the issues. Repeated rejections for the same issues may result in a temporary listing pause.

5.4 Our Discretion

We may refuse to list any Agent, and may remove any listing or suspend any developer account, at our reasonable discretion — for example, to protect buyers, to comply with law or our payment processor’s requirements, or because of a risk to the Marketplace. Section 11 explains how removal and suspension work.

6. Sales, Revenue Share and Payouts

6.1 How Sales Work

Buyers purchase licences for your Agent from Agentic Tech LLC through our Stripe checkout. We collect payment, issue the licence key, and handle buyer billing, refunds and payment disputes.

6.2 Revenue Share

You receive 70% of the price of each sale of your Agent and Agentic retains 30% as the platform fee. Percentages are calculated on the price before any sales tax, VAT or similar tax collected from the buyer. Stripe’s card-processing fees for the sale are paid from our 30% share, not deducted from yours.

6.3 Stripe Connect Express

  • Payouts are made through Stripe Connect Express. You can connect a Stripe account only after at least one of your Agents has been approved and published.
  • When you connect, you choose your payout country from the countries Stripe supports. The country cannot be changed after the account is created. Choose the country where you (or your business) are legally based and bank.
  • Stripe will verify your identity and bank details. Stripe, not Agentic, decides whether your account is approved and can receive payouts.
  • Your use of Stripe is governed by the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Services Agreement. If your payout country is outside the United States, your account is created under Stripe’s recipient service agreement, which lets you receive transfers from us but not process payments yourself.
  • You manage your bank account, payout schedule and payout history in the Stripe Express Dashboard, which you can open from your developer account.
  • Stripe may charge currency-conversion or cross-border fees on payouts outside the United States; these are deducted by Stripe from your payouts.

6.4 Payout Timing

When a buyer pays for your Agent and your Stripe account is connected and enabled, your 70% share is transferred to your Stripe account automatically as part of that sale. Stripe then pays it to your bank according to the payout schedule in your Express Dashboard. There is no monthly minimum.

Earnings from sales made while you have no connected or enabled Stripe account are recorded in your developer dashboard and paid once your account is connected and enabled, subject to Sections 7 and 8.

6.5 Taxes

  • You are responsible for all taxes on your earnings, including income tax and any tax due in your own country.
  • Stripe collects your tax information (for example, IRS Form W-9 or W-8) during Express onboarding. Where U.S. law requires an information return (such as a Form 1099), we or Stripe on our behalf will issue it using that information.
  • We are responsible for collecting and remitting any sales tax or VAT we are required to charge buyers.
  • We may withhold amounts from your earnings where the law requires us to (for example, backup withholding if your tax information is missing or incorrect).

7. Refunds, Chargebacks and Recovery

7.1 Refunds to Buyers

Agentic manages all refund requests in accordance with our Refund Policy, and we decide whether a refund is given. You may not set custom refund terms that conflict with the Marketplace refund policy. When a sale is refunded, the buyer’s licence is revoked and the Agent is deactivated on the buyer’s sites. Excessive refund rates may result in delisting.

7.2 Recovering Your Share

If a sale is refunded, charged back, or found to be fraudulent, your 70% share of that sale is no longer owed to you. We may recover it by any of these methods:

  • reversing the Stripe transfer to your account (in full or in part);
  • setting it off against your future earnings; or
  • invoicing you, payable within 30 days.

You authorise us to make these recoveries. If your Stripe account balance becomes negative because of a reversal, you must bring it back to zero.

7.3 Chargebacks and Dispute Fees

You bear your 70% share of any chargeback and of the dispute fees Stripe charges for it. If a chargeback results from your fraud, misrepresentation, or breach of these terms, you bear the full chargeback amount and all related fees. We handle the response to disputes; you must give us information we reasonably request to contest one.

7.4 Refund-Rate Holds

If your refund rate exceeds 15% in any rolling 30-day period, Agentic may hold 25% of your future earnings for 90 days.

8. Holds During Investigations

We may pause transfers to you, hold earnings that have not yet been transferred, and ask Stripe to pause payouts from your account while we investigate any of the following:

  • suspected fraud, card testing, or payment manipulation;
  • a security vulnerability, malware, or data-exfiltration report about your Agent;
  • an intellectual-property claim against your Agent;
  • an unusually high rate of refunds or chargebacks; or
  • a request from Stripe, a card network, a court, or a government authority.

We will tell you about the hold unless the law or the investigation prevents it, release amounts not needed to cover what you owe when the investigation ends, and use held amounts to cover refunds, chargebacks, fees, or other amounts you owe under these terms.

9. Updates and Support

  • You are responsible for maintaining your Agent, including security patches and compatibility updates.
  • Security fixes must meet the timelines in Section 4.4.
  • Compatibility with WordPress core updates required within 90 days of a major release.
  • You must provide reasonable support to buyers via Agentic’s support channels.
  • Abandoned Agents (no updates for 12+ months) may be delisted with 30 days’ notice.

10. Marketplace Conduct

10.1 Prohibited Activities

  • Distributing Agents containing malware, backdoors, or exploitable vulnerabilities.
  • Manipulating reviews, ratings, or download counts.
  • Creating deceptive listings with misleading descriptions or screenshots.
  • Making misleading claims about what an Agent or AI can do — for example, promising guaranteed results, claiming an Agent is “100% safe,” or claiming it needs no human oversight.
  • Fraud of any kind, including buying your own Agents, using stolen payment cards, card testing, or using the Marketplace to move money for unrelated transactions.
  • Harvesting buyer data for unauthorized marketing.
  • Reverse engineering other developers’ Agents without permission.
  • Creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions.
  • Selling Agents whose main purpose is a business Stripe prohibits or restricts under its Restricted Businesses list.

10.2 Content Standards

Agents must not generate or be designed to generate illegal, harmful, or discriminatory content, including content that infringes others’ rights, harasses people, sexually exploits minors, promotes violence, or facilitates deception such as spam, phishing, or impersonation. Agents using third-party AI APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) must comply with those providers’ usage policies.

11. Removal and Suspension

11.1 Immediate Removal (No Notice)

  • Confirmed or credibly suspected security vulnerabilities or malware.
  • Copyright or intellectual property infringement (DMCA takedown).
  • Fraud or payment manipulation.
  • Where Stripe, a card network, or the law requires it.

11.2 Removal with 30 Days’ Notice

  • Persistent unresolved issues after feedback.
  • Poor support quality affecting buyer satisfaction.
  • Abandoned Agents with no updates for 12+ months.
  • Trademark or branding violations.

11.3 Account Suspension

Multiple violations, fraud, or harassment may result in suspension or permanent closure of your developer account, preventing all future submissions. While suspended, your listings may be hidden and payouts may be held under Section 8.

12. Your Warranties and Indemnification

12.1 Your Warranties

For each Agent, you represent and warrant that: (a) you have the rights described in Section 3.1; (b) the Agent and its listing do not infringe or misappropriate anyone’s intellectual property, privacy, or other rights; (c) the Agent contains no malware, backdoors, or undeclared capabilities; (d) its description and declared abilities are accurate; and (e) you will comply with all laws that apply to you and your Agent, including privacy, consumer-protection, export-control, and sanctions laws.

12.2 Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Agentic Tech LLC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, fines, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from your Agents, your listings, your dealings with buyers, your taxes, your violation of these terms or of law, any breach of your warranties, or your infringement of any third-party rights. This includes amounts Stripe or a card network charges us because of your conduct.

13. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

The Marketplace, the review process, and our payout tools are provided “as is” and “as available,” as described in the disclaimer sections of our Terms of Service. We do not guarantee any level of sales, visibility, or earnings, and we are not responsible for Stripe’s decisions about your account.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Agentic’s total liability to you under these terms is limited to the amounts actually paid to you in the 12 months preceding any claim. Agentic is not liable for lost profits, data, business interruption, third-party API changes, or actions of Marketplace buyers. This limitation does not reduce amounts we already owe you for completed sales.

14. Termination

  • Either party may terminate with 30 days’ written notice.
  • Agentic may terminate immediately for material violations, fraud, or where Stripe or the law requires it.
  • Upon termination, your Agents are removed from new listings. Existing buyers keep their licences for the term they paid for.
  • After termination you remain responsible for refunds, chargebacks, fees and indemnities relating to sales made before termination. We may hold any untransferred earnings for up to 120 days after termination to cover these, then pay the balance (less any amounts you owe) to your Stripe account.
  • Sections 3.3, 7, 8, 12, 13, 15 and 16 survive termination.

15. Dispute Resolution

Disputes must first be raised via email to [email protected] with a 30-day informal resolution period. Unresolved disputes are subject to binding arbitration under the American Arbitration Association (AAA) rules, conducted in Atlanta, Georgia or remotely, on an individual basis as set out in the dispute-resolution section of our Terms of Service.

16. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA. For developers in the EU/EEA or UK, mandatory protections under local law apply where they cannot be waived.

17. Changes to Terms

Agentic may modify these terms with 30 days’ written notice via email. Material changes are also posted on the Website. Continued listing of Agents after the notice period constitutes acceptance. We may make changes sooner where Stripe or the law requires it.
