Listing & Content Guidelines

These guidelines cover what you may publish to the UpliftOS Marketplace and how we review it. They apply to every listing — applications, agents and templates — and they sit alongside the Marketplace Seller Agreement, which is the commercial contract, and the Acceptable Use Policy, which governs what may run on the platform at all.

The short version: describe accurately what you actually built, and keep it working. Almost everything below follows from that.

1. What You Can List

Three kinds of listing:

  • Applications — a working application other organizations install and run.
  • Agents — an agent other organizations can add to their workspace.
  • Templates — a starting point others build from.

Each listing is priced as free, one-time, subscription, or usage-based. Pricing, fees and payouts are the Seller Agreement's subject, not this document's.

2. What Every Listing Must Have

A listing is a representation to a buyer, so the parts that describe it are the parts we hold you to:

  • A name and description that match what the listing does. Not what it will do next quarter, and not what a related product does.
  • A category that a buyer looking for this would actually browse.
  • Screenshots of the real thing. Mockups, concept art and renders of an unbuilt interface are not screenshots. If the image shows a screen, the screen must exist.
  • Accurate pricing, including anything a buyer must pay elsewhere to make your listing useful.
  • A demo or documentation link that resolves, where you provide one.

If your listing needs an account, an API key or a paid subscription with a third party before it does anything, say so in the description. A buyer discovering that after purchase is a refund and a complaint, and both are yours.

3. What May Not Be Listed

Anything the Acceptable Use Policy prohibits is prohibited here too. That policy governs the platform and it governs the Marketplace; a listing is not a loophole.

Beyond it, and specific to listings:

  • Someone else's work presented as yours — code, brand, screenshots, copy or identity. See Copyright & Trademark.
  • Impersonation. A listing may not suggest it is published, endorsed or certified by UpliftOS, or by a company you are not, or by anyone who has not said so.
  • Deceptive functionality. Anything that behaves materially differently from its description — including collecting data the description does not mention, or transmitting data to a destination the description does not name.
  • Undisclosed data handling. If your listing sends buyer data anywhere outside the buyer's own environment, the description must say where and why.
  • Undisclosed AI. Where a listing uses AI to generate output or act on a user's behalf, disclose it, per our AI Disclosure.
  • Extraction of our templates as templates. Covered by the Template & Golden App License §3.
  • Malware, credential harvesting, or anything designed to weaken a buyer's security. This ends the listing and the account.

4. How Review Works

The lifecycle is not discretionary prose — it is the states a listing moves through:

Draft → In review → Published. You build a listing as a draft and submit it. We review it. Approving it publishes it and makes the underlying application visible on the storefront in the same act.

Rejected listings go back to draft, with a reason. Rejection is not deletion. Your listing returns to draft, carrying the reason it came back, and you can fix it and resubmit. There is no limit on resubmission.

Published listings can be suspended, with a reason. A suspended listing stops being installable and is removed from the storefront while the problem is resolved. Suspension is reversible; resolving the issue restores the listing to published.

Every decision carries a reason, and you can read it. Our system will not record a rejection or a suspension without one — the action fails if no reason is given. The reason appears on the listing in your own seller dashboard, next to the listing it applies to. You do not have to ask us what happened.

What we do not do: we do not currently email you when a listing's status changes. Check your listings page, or ask us at [email protected].

5. Keeping a Listing Live

A published listing is a continuing representation, not a one-time submission.

  • Keep it working. A listing whose application no longer runs, or whose integrations have broken, may be suspended.
  • Keep it accurate. If you materially change what your listing does, update the description. A significant change may go back through review.
  • Answer your buyers. Support is the seller's, at the level your listing states.
  • Keep it lawful for what it claims. A listing that presents itself as suitable for regulated data is making a claim about your product, not about the platform.

6. Disagreeing With a Decision

Reply to [email protected], naming the listing and what you think we got wrong. A person reads it. If we were wrong, we restore the listing.

We will say this plainly rather than imply more process than exists: there is no separate appeals tribunal and no fixed response deadline. What there is, is a recorded reason for every decision and a person who will read your reply.

7. Removal for Legal Reasons

Where we are required to remove a listing — a court order, a valid infringement claim, a regulatory demand — we will remove it, and we will tell you what we were required to do, unless we are prohibited from telling you.

Copyright and trademark complaints have their own route, which is being published separately. Until it is, send them to [email protected] with enough detail to identify the work, the listing, and your authority to complain.

8. Changes to These Guidelines

We update these guidelines as the Marketplace changes. Material changes are notified as the Terms of Service requires, and the date at the top always reflects the current version.
