These Rules for Sellers explain the main responsibilities that every Seller must follow when listing and transferring a Digital Asset through Sebuda.
The Rules for Sellers cover lawful ownership, Listing accuracy, proper delivery, Original Email requirements, post-sale cooperation, and prohibited Seller conduct. Every Seller should read these rules carefully before creating a Listing or participating in a Transaction through Sebuda.
Failure to comply with the Rules for Sellers may affect the Transaction, payment release, Listing status, or the Seller’s ability to continue using Sebuda.
1. Ownership and Authority to Sell
Under these Rules for Sellers, every Seller must lawfully own the Digital Asset being listed or have full legal authority to sell and transfer it.
Sellers must not list:
- stolen or hacked accounts;
- accounts belonging to another person without authorization;
- rented, borrowed, or unlawfully obtained accounts;
- accounts subject to unresolved ownership disputes; or
- any Digital Asset that the Seller does not have authority to transfer.
When reasonably requested, the Seller must provide Sebuda with evidence of ownership or transfer authority.
Providing false ownership information or attempting to sell an asset without proper authority may result in Transaction cancellation, Listing removal, suspension of the Seller account, or other appropriate action.
2. Listing Accuracy and Required Information
The Seller is responsible for keeping all material information in the Listing accurate, complete, current, and not misleading.
Where applicable, the Listing should correctly disclose:
- account creation date;
- followers or subscribers;
- engagement statistics;
- monetization status;
- revenue information;
- audience information;
- verification status;
- username;
- account niche;
- warnings or strikes;
- copyright claims;
- platform restrictions;
- Original Email availability;
- recovery limitations; and
- any other information that may reasonably affect the Buyer’s decision.
In addition, the Seller must not:
- provide false statistics;
- manipulate screenshots or analytics;
- provide fabricated revenue or engagement information;
- hide known restrictions or penalties;
- intentionally omit material information; or
- otherwise mislead the Buyer.
If material information changes after publication, the Seller must update the Listing or notify Sebuda before the Transaction proceeds.
2.1 Material Disclosures
The Seller must disclose any known fact, restriction, limitation, or condition that could reasonably affect the value, security, transferability, functionality, or use of the Digital Asset.
This may include:
- warnings or violations;
- third-party platform restrictions;
- monetization limitations;
- recovery limitations;
- security concerns;
- material previous suspensions;
- ownership-related limitations; and
- any other issue that could reasonably influence the Buyer’s decision.
Therefore, the Seller must not knowingly allow a Buyer to proceed based on incomplete or materially misleading information.
2.2 Accuracy of Supporting Information
Any screenshots, analytics, revenue records, account statistics, ownership evidence, or other supporting materials provided by the Seller must accurately represent the Digital Asset.
The Seller must not manipulate, fabricate, selectively alter, or present supporting information in a way intended to mislead the Buyer or Sebuda.
Where information is an estimate rather than a verified fact, the Seller should clearly identify it as an estimate.
2.3 Components Included in the Listing
The Seller must clearly identify every material component represented as included with the Digital Asset.
Depending on the type of Digital Asset, included components may include:
- Original Email;
- associated email accounts;
- login credentials;
- recovery information;
- usernames, handles, or custom identifiers;
- administrative permissions;
- associated domains;
- transferable files;
- logos, images, media, or other digital materials;
- transferable business materials;
- transferable intellectual-property-related materials;
- documentation;
- transferable rights or permissions; or
- any other component forming a material part of the Seller’s offer.
A Seller must not represent a component as included unless they are reasonably able and authorized to provide or transfer it.
If a component is not expressly identified as included in the Listing, Sebuda will not automatically treat it as part of the Seller’s delivery obligations.
Accordingly, the Listing should clearly explain what the Buyer will and will not receive.
Where the availability or transferability of a component is uncertain, conditional, restricted, or technically limited, the Seller must disclose that limitation before the Transaction proceeds.
2.4 Changes to Listing Information or Included Components
The Seller must keep the Listing materially accurate until the Transaction is completed or the Listing is withdrawn.
If any material information changes after publication, including the availability, condition, transferability, ownership status, security status, Original Email status, or availability of an included component, the Seller must promptly:
- update the Listing where possible; or
- notify Sebuda before the Transaction proceeds.
Once a Transaction has been funded or activated, the Seller must not intentionally remove, substitute, withhold, or materially alter any component represented as included without promptly notifying Sebuda.
If a material component can no longer be provided as represented, Sebuda may pause or review the Transaction and determine the appropriate action under the applicable Transaction Rules.
The Seller must not knowingly allow a Buyer to continue based on Listing information that has become materially inaccurate.
3. Proper Account Delivery and Transfer
The Rules for Sellers require the Seller to deliver the Digital Asset in substantially the same condition and with the same material characteristics described in the Listing.
The Seller must also provide every material component expressly represented as included.
To complete the transfer correctly, the Seller must provide all information reasonably required for the Buyer to obtain control of the purchased Digital Asset.
Before completing the transfer, the Seller must:
- provide valid login credentials;
- remove personal recovery information;
- remove personal devices where applicable;
- remove or disable Seller-controlled two-factor authentication (2FA);
- remove backup codes;
- remove Seller-controlled recovery methods;
- provide any required authentication or verification information; and
- ensure that no unauthorized access remains under the Seller’s control.
Sebuda does not transfer the Seller’s personal phone number to the Buyer. Therefore, the Seller must remove any personal phone number or recovery method they control before completing the transfer.
The Seller must not intentionally make changes that reduce the value, security, condition, functionality, or transferability of the Digital Asset before delivery.
Likewise, the Seller must not intentionally withhold any component expressly represented as included in the Listing.
After transfer, the Seller must not access, recover, reclaim, disable, or otherwise interfere with the Digital Asset unless Sebuda expressly authorizes such access or it is reasonably necessary to resolve a transfer-related issue.
4. Original Email (OG Email)
Where an Original Email (“OG Email”) is associated with a Digital Asset, the Seller must accurately disclose its status in the Listing.
The Seller must clearly indicate whether:
- Original Email is Included;
- Original Email is Not Available; or
- Original Email Cannot Be Transferred.
A Seller must not state that the Original Email is included unless they are reasonably able and authorized to provide it as part of the Transaction.
Where the Original Email is included, the Seller must transfer the email login credentials and remove all recovery methods under the Seller’s control before completing the Transaction.
This includes removing, where applicable:
- recovery phone numbers;
- recovery email addresses;
- backup codes;
- two-factor authentication (2FA);
- authentication applications;
- connected devices; and
- any other Seller-controlled recovery method.
In addition, the Seller must not retain any recovery method or other access that could allow them to regain control of the Original Email after transfer.
Sebuda does not transfer the Seller’s personal phone number to the Buyer. Therefore, any Seller-controlled phone number associated with the Original Email must be removed before transfer.
If a Seller states in the Listing that the Original Email is included but cannot provide it as represented, Sebuda may charge an administrative fee of USD $5.
If the Buyer cancels the Escrow Transaction specifically because the Seller failed to provide the Original Email as advertised, Sebuda may charge the Seller an administrative cancellation fee of USD $10.
Where permitted by Applicable Law, Sebuda may deduct applicable fees from amounts payable to the Seller.
False or misleading claims concerning the Original Email may also result in Transaction cancellation, Listing restrictions, Seller account suspension, or other appropriate action.
5. Seller Cooperation After Sale
These Rules for Sellers also require reasonable cooperation after the sale where further assistance is needed to complete or finalize the transfer.
Such cooperation may include:
- answering legitimate transfer-related questions;
- providing missing transfer information;
- assisting with account recovery or verification procedures directly related to the sale;
- confirming ownership where reasonably required;
- assisting with the transfer of components expressly included in the Listing; and
- cooperating with Sebuda when a transfer-related issue requires review.
Unless otherwise stated in the Listing, Sellers are generally expected to provide reasonable transfer-related cooperation for up to thirty (30) calendar days after completion of the Transaction.
However, this obligation only applies to matters directly connected to the Transaction and transfer of the Digital Asset.
The Seller is not required to provide unrelated services such as:
- account management;
- content creation;
- marketing;
- business consulting;
- account growth services; or
- ongoing operational support.
6. Prohibited Conduct Under the Rules for Sellers
Sellers must not engage in conduct that may mislead Buyers, interfere with Transactions, compromise transferred Digital Assets, or bypass Sebuda.
The following conduct is prohibited:
- selling stolen, hacked, fraudulent, or unlawfully obtained assets;
- listing a Digital Asset without lawful ownership or authority to transfer it;
- providing false or misleading Listing information;
- intentionally omitting material information;
- concealing known material problems with a Digital Asset;
- falsely representing a component as included in a Listing;
- withholding a component expressly represented as included;
- intentionally removing, substituting, or materially altering an included component after the Transaction begins without notifying Sebuda;
- falsifying screenshots, analytics, ownership documents, or account information;
- attempting to recover or reclaim a Digital Asset after transfer;
- retaining unauthorized recovery access after a sale;
- intentionally damaging, modifying, or reducing the value, security, functionality, or transferability of a Digital Asset before delivery;
- requesting payment outside Sebuda;
- encouraging Buyers to bypass Sebuda’s Escrow process;
- attempting to avoid applicable Sebuda fees;
- providing false usernames, credentials, recovery information, or ownership information;
- using threats, harassment, abuse, fraud, coercion, or intimidation during a Transaction;
- knowingly listing assets primarily associated with illegal activity or prohibited content; or
- otherwise engaging in conduct intended to deceive the Buyer, Sebuda, or compromise the integrity of a Transaction.
As a result, violation of these Rules for Sellers may lead to Transaction cancellation, delayed payment release, Listing removal, administrative fees, temporary or permanent suspension of the Seller account, or other appropriate action.
Final Note for Sellers
Every Seller should review these Rules for Sellers before creating a Listing or beginning a Transaction through Sebuda.
The rules above focus specifically on Seller responsibilities, including ownership, Listing quality, proper delivery, Original Email requirements, post-sale cooperation, and prohibited conduct.
For additional requirements relating to escrow procedures, Buyer obligations, cancellations, payments, disputes, privacy, and other marketplace matters, Sellers should also review Sebuda’s applicable Transaction Rules, Terms of Service, and other platform policies.
