Free Items Policy for ScriptByte

At ScriptByte, we aim to provide high-quality digital products to our customers while ensuring a fair and sustainable marketplace for creators. To maintain this balance, we have established the following policy regarding free items on our platform:

Paid Product Requirement: All products listed on ScriptByte must be priced appropriately according to their value and complexity. Free items (products listed with a $0 price tag) are permitted under specific conditions outlined below.

Criteria for Free Items:

• Promotional Purposes: Creators may list products for free temporarily to promote their work or as part of a special promotion. This should be clearly communicated in the product description or through promotional codes.
• Limited-Time Offers: Free items can be offered for a limited duration (e.g., a week) to attract new customers or as a gesture of appreciation to existing users.
• Sample or Lite Versions: Free versions of paid products are allowed if they provide basic functionality or a limited feature set compared to the paid version. The description must clearly outline the differences between the free and paid versions.
• Community Contribution: Occasionally, creators may choose to offer certain products for free as contributions to the ScriptByte community. This can include items like templates, basic plugins, or resources that enhance the overall marketplace experience.

Prohibited Free Items:

• Full Versions for Free: Products that are complete, fully functional, and typically sold at a price should not be listed for free indefinitely.
• Misleading Offers: Free items should not mislead customers into expecting a different product or service than what is delivered.

Monitoring and Compliance: ScriptByte reserves the right to review all free item listings to ensure they comply with our policies. Creators found violating these guidelines may be subject to corrective actions, including but not limited to product delisting or account suspension.

User Experience: We encourage creators to use free items strategically to enhance the user experience, attract new customers, and build a positive reputation within the ScriptByte community.

By adhering to these guidelines, ScriptByte aims to foster a marketplace environment that benefits both creators and customers alike. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining the integrity and quality of products offered on our platform.
