Creator Compliance Checklist

Last updated 1 June 2026 · IdeaForge · IdeaForge85@gmail.com

The Creator Compliance Checklist runs automatically every time you publish or update a bundle sales page. A bundle only goes live when every item passes. Failed items are handled under the enforcement ladder in the Acceptable Use Policy.

Account setup

Stripe-hosted payout account connected.
Identity verified by Stripe.
Terms of Service, policies and the Creator Agreement accepted.

Content ownership

You confirm you own or license everything in the bundle.
No copied or unlicensed material (for example book text, lyrics, courses or other brands' products).

Listing quality

The description accurately reflects the contents.
Every product is complete and substantial.
Misleading or broken listings are blocked.

Pricing and discounts

Price fits the Starter (£4.99 to £9.99), Pro (£14.99 to £24.99) or Studio (£29.99 to £49.99) tier.
Discount codes are percentage-only, with optional expiry and usage limits.
No attempt to take payment outside IdeaForge, and no links, emails or phone numbers in the listing.

Legal and safety

No illegal, harmful, abusive or fraudulent content.
No malware or deceptive files. All files are PDFs built by IdeaForge.

Marketplace behaviour

Harassment, abuse and fraud are monitored across reviews, disputes and payments, and incidents are logged for admin review.

Technical compliance

Every PDF builds, opens and downloads.
Bundles with missing or corrupted files are blocked.

How failures are treated

Missing setup items (payouts, identity, legal acceptance, ownership confirmation, price tier) simply stop publishing until you fix them.
Minor issues such as a thin product, an overstated description or contact details lead to a Level 1 warning.
Misleading listings are Level 2.
Copyright infringement, fraud, fee bypass and harmful or illegal content are Level 3.
Critical illegal content is Level 4.
