Developer Listing Agreement
Version 1.4 — Effective May 13, 2026
These terms apply to developers who list software for purchase or buy-out on the BuildMyApp marketplace.
1. Ownership Representation
By listing software on BuildMyApp, you certify that you are the original author of the listed software, or that you have the full legal right to sell or license it.
2. IP Non-Infringement
You represent that your listed software does not infringe any third-party intellectual property, patents, trademarks, or copyrights.
3. No Unauthorized Code
Your listed software must not contain code from employers, clients, or projects where you do not hold distribution rights.
4. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Maia AI, LLC (BuildMyApp) and any buyers or licensees from all claims, damages, and expenses arising from intellectual property infringement, ownership disputes, or misrepresentation of rights related to software you list or sell through the platform.
5. Buy-Out (Exclusive Sale) Obligations
When you sell software under an exclusive license, you must transfer all rights in the Foreground IP (as defined in the BuildMyApp Terms & Conditions, Section 11 “License Types and IP Rights”) to the buyer and remove all copies of the Foreground IP from your possession within 7 days of the sale. You retain Background IP, Residuals, and Anonymized Learnings as defined in that section, and the buyer receives a perpetual royalty-free license to use Background IP as embedded in the delivered product.
6. Buy (Non-Exclusive Perpetual License) Obligations
When you offer software for purchase under the platform's standard "Buy" option, you grant each buyer a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use the software for their own purposes. You may continue to sell additional non-exclusive licenses to other buyers. You must maintain the software in a deliverable state for the duration of the listing.
For software originally built for a buyer through BuildMyApp under a non-exclusive arrangement, future purchase fees for that same software are shared: 60% to you (the developer), 25% to the original buyer, and 15% to BuildMyApp. For software you built independently and listed on BuildMyApp, future purchase fees are shared 85% to you and 15% to BuildMyApp.
App Store and Play Store distribution. Software whose primary distribution channel is the Apple App Store or Google Play Store is listed on BuildMyApp as a source-code transfer only, and only under a buy-out (exclusive sale) (Section 5). Non-exclusive "Buy" pricing is not available for app-store-distributed software because end-user transactions for those apps occur through the app store and BuildMyApp cannot serve as the licensing channel. After a buy-out, the buyer publishes and maintains the app under their own developer account.
The Foreground IP / Background IP / Residuals / Platform Contributions / Anonymized Learnings framework defined in Section 11 of the BuildMyApp Terms & Conditions applies to all software sold or licensed under this Agreement, including both buy-out and non-exclusive transactions.
7. Platform License Grant
By listing software on BuildMyApp, you grant Maia AI, LLC a non-exclusive, revocable right to display, market, and promote your listing on the platform. This grant is revocable by either party: by you (when you delist the software), or by BuildMyApp (under Section 8 below).
8. Platform Discretion
BuildMyApp reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to suspend or remove any listing at any time, with or without prior notice, for violations of these Terms, intellectual property disputes, fraud signals, or other concerns related to the integrity of the platform or its community standards. Suspension is reversible upon resolution of the underlying concern; removal is terminal.
BuildMyApp also reserves the right to hide or redact messages posted in any collaboration session associated with a listing or transaction for the same reasons. Hidden messages remain in place visually with a moderated notice; their original content is suppressed for non-moderator viewers.
This discretion is in addition to, and does not waive, the indemnification obligations in Section 4.
This agreement covers listing software for sale on the marketplace. Your use of the platform generally is covered by the BuildMyApp Terms & Conditions.
