Payments & Refunds
How transactions, refunds, and disputes work.
Last updated: April 2026
Payment Processing
All payments on Nimbus Novem are processed through Stripe, a secure third-party payment provider.
- Nimbus Novem does not store your full payment details
- Transactions are encrypted in transit and at rest
- Duplicate payments are prevented through idempotency safeguards
We do not add hidden fees. The price you see is the price you pay.
Seller Responsibility
Products sold through Nimbus Novem are offered by independent creators. Nimbus Novem acts as a platform and transaction facilitator, not the seller of record.
Sellers are responsible for:
- Product quality and accuracy of descriptions
- Fulfillment and shipping (for physical goods)
- Delivery of digital assets
Refund Policy
Refund eligibility depends on the type of product:
- Physical products: May be eligible for refunds if not delivered or if defective. Contact the seller directly.
- Digital products (music, downloads): Non-refundable once delivered, unless the file is corrupted or inaccessible.
- Event tickets: Refund policies are set per event by the organizer.
When ownership transfers on purchase, the transaction is considered complete. This protects both buyers and creators.
Chargebacks & Disputes
If a payment dispute arises:
- The seller is responsible for dispute resolution
- Nimbus Novem may provide transaction records to facilitate resolution
- Repeated disputes may result in account restrictions
We encourage resolving issues directly with the seller before filing a chargeback with your payment provider.
Shipping
For physical products:
- Sellers should ship within a reasonable timeframe (recommended: 3 business days)
- Tracking information should be provided when available
- Shipping costs and estimated delivery times are set by the seller
Platform Fees
Nimbus Novem takes a small percentage of each transaction to sustain the platform. Fees are:
- Disclosed transparently before listing
- Applied consistently — no hidden escalation
- Used to maintain the space, not to extract value
Nimbus Novem does not charge sellers for visibility, promotion, or algorithmic placement. There is no pay-to-be-seen.
Fraud Protection
To protect the integrity of the marketplace, Nimbus Novem reserves the right to:
- Cancel suspicious transactions
- Freeze payouts pending investigation
- Suspend accounts involved in fraudulent activity
These protections exist for everyone — buyers and sellers alike.
