Terms of Service & Privacy
Last Updated: February 2026
Plain English Summary: Latuos is infrastructure, not a bank. We facilitate the delivery of your digital products, but you own your customer payments directly via Stripe. We do not hold or control your funds. We do not act as the Merchant of Record.
1. Account Eligibility
By creating an account on Latuos, you represent and warrant the following:
- Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and use Latuos.
- Accurate Information: You must provide accurate and complete information during registration and keep it up to date.
- Verification and Risk Review: To protect the platform, Latuos reserves the right to require additional information to verify account ownership, product legitimacy, or legal compliance. Failure to provide requested information will result in account restrictions and may result in suspension or termination.
- One Account Per Person: Each individual may only maintain one Latuos account. Creating multiple accounts may result in suspension or termination.
- Non-Transferable: Your account is personal to you and may not be transferred, sold, or assigned to another person or entity.
- Business Use Only: Latuos is intended for use by businesses and professional creators. It is not intended for personal, household, or consumer use.
- Supported Seller Countries: Seller account availability is limited by geography, compliance requirements, and payment-partner constraints. The current list is published at Supported Seller Countries.
2. The "Software Infrastructure" Model
By using Latuos, you acknowledge that we act solely as a Technical Service Provider. We provide the code, hosting, and interface for you to sell digital products.
- You are the Merchant of Record: The contract of sale is strictly between you (the Creator) and your Customer.
- No Marketplace Liability: Latuos is not a party to your transactions, refunds, or disputes.
- Global Digital Delivery: You may deliver digital products to buyers worldwide only where access and delivery comply with applicable law, sanctions, export controls, and payment processor requirements.
- Direct Relationship: Your customers are your customers. We do not claim ownership over your audience data.
3. Financial Custody & Payouts
This section defines the core "No Custody" architecture of Latuos.
- No Platform Fund Custody: Latuos does not custody, hold, or control your earnings. Payments are processed by Stripe and settle directly to your connected Stripe account.
- Payout Control: Because we do not hold or control your funds, we cannot "freeze" a Latuos balance. Your payout timing and any payment restrictions are determined solely by Stripe and your Stripe account settings.
- Fees: Latuos charges a flat monthly subscription fee. We do not take a percentage of your sales. Stripe charges separate payment processing fees on transactions. We do not add "hidden fees" to your transactions.
4. Authority & Content Enforcement
While we do not control your money, we maintain authority over our infrastructure to prevent abuse.
- Prohibited Content: You may not use Latuos to sell illegal content, stolen intellectual property, malware, hate speech, content that violates Stripe's Terms of Service, or adult content prohibited by Stripe's Restricted Businesses list.
- Detailed Restricted Categories: Latuos publishes and maintains additional restricted-product categories in our Prohibited Products and Activities Policy.
-
Additional Prohibited Use:
You may also not use Latuos to sell or distribute:
- Content you do not own or have the rights to distribute.
- Fraudulent or misleading products (for example, empty files or fake promises).
- Products designed to scam or deceive buyers.
- Spam or auto-generated low quality content.
- Products that facilitate illegal activity.
- Payment Network and Processor Compliance: You are responsible for ensuring your products and sales practices comply with Stripe requirements, card-network rules, and applicable law. Violations may result in immediate enforcement action on your Latuos account.
- Policy Updates for Risk Categories: Latuos reserves the right to update, expand, or refine restricted-product categories at any time to address fraud trends, legal changes, processor requirements, or platform safety concerns. Updated restrictions take effect upon publication.
- Seller Responsibility: You represent that you own or have all necessary rights to the content you upload. You are solely responsible for ensuring your products do not infringe third-party intellectual property rights.
- Embedded Content: You are solely responsible for all content embedded in your product pages, including images, GIFs, and videos. By embedding third-party content, you represent that you have all necessary rights, licenses, or permissions to use that content for commercial purposes and that your use complies with applicable third-party terms of service. Latuos reserves the right to remove or disable embedded content that violates third-party terms, applicable law, or our policies.
-
Enforcement Actions:
If you violate these terms, Latuos reserves the right to:
- Unpublish your product pages.
- Disable your Latuos account access.
- Block file downloads for your products.
- The Distinction: We can stop you from using our software. We cannot confiscate the money you have already earned in your Stripe account.
5. Refunds and Chargebacks
Because Latuos operates on a direct charge model where the seller is the Merchant of Record, refund and chargeback responsibilities work as follows:
- Seller is Merchant of Record: Refund obligations are between the seller and the buyer. Latuos is not a party to the transaction.
- Latuos Does Not Process Refunds: We do not hold your funds and cannot issue refunds on your behalf. Refunds are processed through Stripe directly via your connected account.
- Chargeback Responsibility: Chargebacks and disputes are handled by Stripe and your connected Stripe account. You are responsible for responding to disputes.
- Excessive Chargebacks: Latuos reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts with chargeback or dispute rates that materially exceed Stripe's acceptable thresholds, as this may indicate fraud or misleading products.
- Buyer Expectations: Digital products are processed and delivered after purchase, including security scanning and PDF stamping, which may take a few minutes. Buyers should contact the seller directly for refund requests.
6. Copyright and DMCA
Latuos respects intellectual property rights and expects all users to do the same.
-

7. Account Suspension and Termination

- No Re-Registration After Termination: If your account is terminated for violations, you may not create a new account directly or indirectly without our written approval.

8. Tax & Legal Compliance
Because you are the Merchant of Record, tax compliance is your responsibility.
- Sales Tax / VAT: You are solely responsible for registering, collecting, and remitting taxes in your relevant jurisdictions.
- Export Controls and Sanctions: You may not use Latuos in violation of applicable export control, sanctions, or trade laws. This includes making products available where access or transfer is legally restricted.
- Tax Tools: We may provide integrations (such as Stripe Tax) or reporting tools to assist you. Regardless of the tooling provided, the legal obligation to ensure tax accuracy remains with you.
- Indemnification: You agree to indemnify Latuos (Organo Solutions Ltd) against any claims arising from your failure to comply with tax laws or consumer protection regulations.
- No Tax or Legal Advice: Latuos does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. Any information provided through the service or documentation is for general informational purposes only.
9. Data Privacy & Processing
We respect the ownership of your data.
- Customer Data: We process your customers' data (email, download logs) solely to provide the delivery service. We do not sell, market to, or contact your customers.
- Metadata Stamping: For anti-piracy features, we process customer emails to stamp them onto files (PDFs, Images). This is a core feature of the service you are purchasing.
- Data Deletion: Upon account termination, you may request the deletion of all your stored data. Latuos will delete stored files and product data within 30 days, except where retention is required or permitted by law, including for accounting, tax, fraud prevention, security, dispute resolution, or legal compliance purposes. Stripe may also retain transaction records as required by applicable financial law.
- Data Processing Agreement: These terms constitute the data processing agreement between Latuos and the Creator for applicable data protection law, including the UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and CCPA. If you require a standalone DPA, contact [email protected].
