Don't buy the company. License the code.
Builders keep ownership and sell non-exclusive licenses under standard, versioned agreements. Buyers get working code with a clear scope of use.
Three standard licenses
Every license on BuildMarket uses one of these templates. Sellers set the price, support and deliverables; the legal text is the same for everyone and versioned. Platform fee 15%.
Agency License
- Deploy for multiple clients (up to the stated number of client deployments)
- Modify and white-label for each client
- No resale of the source as a product
- Support and updates as stated in the listing
Extended Commercial License
- Unlimited deployments within the Licensee's own products
- Use in products sold to end users
- No resale of the source itself
- Broadest standard grant available on BuildMarket
Commercial Starter License
- Use the licensed software in one commercial product or internal project
- Modify the source for your own use
- No resale or redistribution of the source
- Attribution not required
Questions, answered
What do I get?
The deliverables the seller lists (usually a source archive, setup guide, sometimes design files), a license key, and the signed agreement text. Downloads are private and expire.
Can I resell it?
Not as-is. Starter and Agency licenses forbid redistributing the code as a template. Extended lets you build and sell products on top of it. Read the template before buying.
How is the seller paid?
By card through Stripe. BuildMarket takes the license fee; the rest goes to the seller's connected Stripe account.
Refunds?
Digital goods: refunds are handled case by case within 14 days if the deliverables materially differ from the listing. See the refund policy.
