Vendor Terms
Last updated: October 9, 2026 · Version 1.3
These terms apply to everyone who sells through PlinzoKitchen. They sit alongside our Terms of Service, Refund Policy and Privacy Policy. By applying to sell you agree to them.
PlinzoKitchen is the seller of record for every order. Customers buy from PlinzoKitchen, pay PlinzoKitchen and receive their files from PlinzoKitchen. You supply the work and are paid a share of each sale.
1. What you can sell
- Original digital content that you created yourself: recipe books, meal plans, cooking guides and similar PDFs.
- Work you own outright and have the right to sell, including every recipe, photo, illustration and piece of text inside it.
- One listing per product, described accurately — page counts, contents and format must match the file.
2. What you cannot sell
- Content you did not create, or that you obtained with private label rights (PLR), master resell rights (MRR) or any other resale licence.
- Anything bought from a resale-rights marketplace or content bundle, even if that licence says you may sell it on.
- Other people's recipes, photos or text copied from books, websites or social media without written permission.
- Content that uses another company's brand names or trademarks to sell it.
- Physical goods, services, coaching, subscriptions or anything that is not a digital file.
- Listings that offer buyers the right to sell, share or pass on the files. Every sale is for the buyer's personal use only.
3. Commission structure
- Payments are processed by Paddle, which keeps its own fee from every transaction (currently 5% + $0.50; Paddle may change it). That fee comes off each sale first. Where Paddle does not report the exact fee for an order, its published price is used.
- Of what is left after that fee, PlinzoKitchen keeps 10% and you receive 90%. Your own rate is shown on your seller dashboard and may differ if we have agreed something else with you in writing.
- The sale amount is your product's price less any coupon of your own. A discount, coupon or store credit that PlinzoKitchen gives the customer does not reduce your share.
- The rate that applied on the day of a sale is fixed for that sale. A later change never alters past sales.
- Sales of your products do not earn affiliate commission for anyone.
4. Payout terms
- Your earnings build up as a balance. You can request a payout once it reaches $50.00.
- Payouts are sent by hand to the method you gave us (Easypaisa, JazzCash, SadaPay, NayaPay or a transfer to a Pakistani bank account). We review each request and email you when it has been sent.
- Before your first payout we verify your identity and tax details. You can list products while this is in progress.
- If an order is fully refunded, your share of it is taken back out of your balance. A balance can go below zero and is then recovered from later sales.
- We may hold a payout while a dispute, refund or compliance review about your store is open.
5. Content compliance
- Every listing is checked before it goes live and may be checked again at any time, including by automated scans of titles, descriptions and tags.
- A listing that mentions resale rights or a resale-rights source is refused. Repeated attempts may lead to suspension.
- We may edit, unpublish or remove any listing that breaks these terms or that a payment provider objects to.
- You must tell us straight away if you learn that something you listed is not yours to sell.
6. Intellectual property
- You keep ownership of your work. You give PlinzoKitchen a non-exclusive licence to host, display, market and deliver it to customers for as long as it is listed, and to keep delivering it to customers who already bought it.
- You confirm that your work does not infringe anyone else's rights, and you are responsible for any claim that it does.
- Copyright complaints are handled under our DMCA Policy. A valid complaint means the listing is removed.
7. Termination
- You can close your store at any time from your seller profile. Customers who already bought your products keep their access.
- We may suspend or close a store that breaks these terms, sells content it has no right to sell, or puts the store or its customers at risk.
- When a store closes, any balance that is not subject to refunds, disputes or a compliance review is paid out through the normal payout process.
8. Dispute resolution
- Customers can report a problem with a purchase, and you can report a problem with an order, from the order's page. We review every report and may ask either side for more information.
- Customers can ask for a refund within 30 days under the Refund Policy. We decide refunds; you agree to our decision.
- If you disagree with a decision about your store, email support@plinzokitchen.com and we will look at it again.
9. Tax responsibility
- You are responsible for reporting and paying any tax due on what you earn, in the country where you pay tax.
- Payouts are made without tax deducted unless the law requires otherwise. We may ask for tax details and documents and keep them on file.
- Sales tax or VAT charged to customers is handled by PlinzoKitchen and its payment provider as the seller of record.
10. Amendments
- We may change these terms. We will post the new version here with a new date and version number, and email active vendors about changes that matter.
- Continuing to sell after a change takes effect means you accept it. If you do not agree, you can close your store.
11. Pakistan-based vendors
- Selling on PlinzoKitchen is open to creators based in Pakistan only for now.
- Applying needs no ID, tax or payout details. Before your first payout we ask how you want to be paid and verify your identity with your CNIC or Pakistani passport, and your tax details with your NTN (or your CNIC if you have no NTN).
- Payouts are made only to an Easypaisa, JazzCash, SadaPay or NayaPay account, or a Pakistani bank account, held in your own name.
- You are responsible for meeting Pakistani tax law on what you earn, including registering with and filing returns to the FBR where the law requires it.
12. Team members
- You may add team members who sell your products through their own link. A team member earns 10% of a sale made through their link unless you set a different rate for them.
- A team member's commission is taken from the sale first; PlinzoKitchen's 10% is then worked out on what is left, and you receive the rest.
- You pay your team members yourself and record each payment with proof of it (a screenshot or receipt). PlinzoKitchen checks the proof and asks the member to confirm they received the money; a member who does not answer within 7 days is taken to have received it. The amount is added to your balance only when both have happened, because PlinzoKitchen collected it from the customer. If the member says the money did not arrive, you are not repaid until PlinzoKitchen has looked into it.
- If a customer's order is refunded in full, the team member's commission on it is taken back along with your share; PlinzoKitchen bears only its own share. A member who was already paid then has a balance below zero, which is made up from their next sales. If such a member leaves your team still owing, that amount is deducted from your balance.
- A person can be on one vendor's team at a time. Someone you remove can join another vendor's team 30 days after the removal; you can add them back to your own team at any time. Their balance and payout history stay with them.
- You are responsible for your team members: for what they say about your products, and for paying them what they have earned on time. Recording a payment you did not make is grounds for closing your store.
