However, if you make a new deposit into your Member Ledger, before forfeiture of any unutilised previously made deposits, the whole of the balance of your Member Ledger (comprising both the new deposit and the balance of the previous deposit) will be available for use by you for a period of 12 months from the date of the new deposit but to the extent it is not used after the expiration of 12 months will be forfeited to Envato.
Envato may, but is not obliged to, warn you about the forfeiture before it occurs.
Envato will pay to you amounts earned by you as a Seller and Referral Commissions earned by you in accordance with clause 18 subject to the following conditions:
	i.	If you have earned less than $50.00 from sales of your Products or in Referral Commissions in the period of 12 months from the date of your first sale or the date on which Envato last paid out monies standing to your credit in your Member Ledger (whichever is more recent), Envato will pay the balance of your Member Ledger to you – but only if paid by Envato through PayPal (and in no other manner).
	ii.	If you have earned more than $50.00 in the period of 12 months from the date of your first sale or the date on which Envato last paid out monies standing to your credit in your Member Ledger (which ever is most recent), Envato will pay a minimum of $50.00 if through a Payment Agent (and in no other manner).
	iii.	If the amount requested is greater than $500.00, Envato will transfer the amount, if requested, by way of electronic funds transfer.

The following additional terms apply to your distribution of Products on the Sites.
	i.	No refund is required or allowed on Products that can be previewed by the Buyer (such as audio and graphics)
	ii.	Where Products cannot be previewed by the Buyer (such as WordPress themes, Adobe After Effect Projects, applications) and the Buyer asserts that the Product is not as described or is broken or is corrupt, you authorise us to give the Buyer a full refund on the Product price if the Buyer requests the refund within 30 calendar days after purchase and the claim is found to be valid.
14. Buying Products
When you buy a Product, you acquire a license to use that Product.
Products are subject to different terms of use – depending on the type of license that you choose when buying the Product.
The different types of licenses (and associated fees) and the conditions of use are set out in the Pricing and Licensing Matrix.
Depending on the use you want to make of a Product, you will need to select the correct license required by you. You are responsible for choosing, and warrant that you have chosen, the correct license to meet your requirements.
If you buy a Product, you do so on the following terms:
	a.	you cannot cancel an order for a Product once the order has been submitted;
	b.	Envato does not give any undertaking as to the continued availability of Products offered for sale on the Sites;
	c.	once your order for a Product is accepted, and you pay the fee, you acquire a non exclusive, non transferable license to use the Product in accordance with the conditions of the license that you acquire;
	d.	ownership of the Product remains with the Seller;
	e.	the Product may not be re-sold by the Buyer; and
	f.	payment of the fee will be made at the time of download by deduction from your Member Ledger.
You acknowledge and agree that despite Envato’s reasonable precautions, Products may be listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to a typographical error or similar oversight. In these circumstances, Envato reserves the right to cancel or reverse a transaction, even after your order has been confirmed and a payment has been processed. If a transaction is cancelled, Envato will immediately arrange for any payment to be refunded.
Due to the digital nature of the Products offered for sale at the Sites, we maintain a “no refunds” policy for Products which can be previewed by the Buyers (such as audio and graphics). A Buyer may make a claim for refund if a Product is one that cannot be previewed (such as WordPress themes, Adobe After Effect Projects, applications) and the Buyer asserts that the Product is not as described, or is broken or is corrupt. The deadline for a Buyer making any refund claim is 30 calendar days after purchase and this claim must be made to Support. We will verify the validity of the claim before a refund is approved.

	k.	that Product would not cause Envato to violate any applicable law, statute, ordinance or regulation by making it available on the Sites.
As a Seller, you must:
	a.	ensure all copies of your Products bear a notice of ownership of the intellectual property rights in your Products;

	a.	any dispute in relation to the Product has been resolved to the satisfaction of Envato; and

In order to become an Exclusive Seller, you must elect to opt into the Exclusive Author Program through your Member Account or after passing the test.
For the avoidance of doubt, as an Exclusive Seller, you are still bound by these Membership Terms including the terms of clause 15 which sets out the obligations of Sellers generally.

If you are a General Seller, Envato will be entitled to receive a commission of an amount equal to 75% of the fee payable for each Product sold over the Sites.
If you are an Exclusive Seller, Envato’s commission for each of your Products that are sold over the Sites will be calculated by reference to the Commission Table and by reference to the accumulated value of gross sales of your Products you have achieved over the Sites (Lifetime Sales Volume).

You further agree not to impersonate any other person or entity, whether actual or fictitious, including anyone from Envato.
You also may not offer to buy or sell any product or service on, or through, your comments submitted to our forums. You alone are responsible for all information and materials that you post to the Sites and the consequences of any of your activities on the Sites.
Envato reserves the right, but does not have an obligation, to monitor and/or review all information and materials posted to the Sites or through the Sites, and Envato is not responsible for, and assumes no liability for, any such materials posted by users. However, Envato reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or government request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, that in Envato’s sole discretion are objectionable or in violation of these Membership Terms, Envato’s policies or applicable law.
Envato may also impose limits on certain features of the forums or restrict your access to part or all of the forums without notice or penalty if we believe you are in breach of these Membership Terms or applicable law, or for any other reason without notice or liability.
It is important to remember that comments submitted to a forum may be recorded and stored in multiple places, both on our Sites and elsewhere on the Internet, which are likely to be accessible for a long time and you have no control over who will read them eventually.
It is therefore important that you are careful and selective about the personal information that you disclose about yourself and others, and in particular, you should not disclose sensitive, embarrassing, proprietary or confidential information in your comments to our public forums.
