MyMiniFactory prides itself on nurturing a collaborative community and we look forward to seeing you grow your Tribe on our platform.

Once you have distributed files in a Tier selected, then press the VALID button, the file will be distributed to all the current Tribers. Removing file(s) from a tier will not remove files from the current subscriber’s library.

When the monthly shift happens, the file(s) distribution will be triggered based on your Tribers local time-zone. Please inform your Tribers if the file(s) will not be released on the 1st of month via your post or infoblocks.

A creator will pay a $24.99 per month subscription fee for access to MyMiniFactory’s site-wide creator services and products. It will comprise what is already included for a Store Manager., as well as access to opening up a Tribe on MyMiniFactory. To confirm the creator $24.99 per month subscription fee includes access to the following MyMiniFactory products and services (including all associated features, such as file distribution):
a) Store Manager

2. Fees & Payments:
2.1 MyMiniFactory will charge an 8% commission platform fee on all revenue generated from your Tribe plus payment processing fees as per below:
a) Standard rate: 2.9% + $0.30 per successful payment over $3
b) Micropayment rate: 5% + $0.10 per successful payment $3 or less
(please note for all payments from Tribers outside the USA there is an additional 1% surcharge)

2.2 Creator Payout fees charged by MyMiniFactory on Tribes at launch = 0% (zero)
MyMiniFactory will review this fee in 2022 after negotiations with its banks and will aim to keep the fee as low as possible, with our intention to be a maximum fee of 1% of the amount transferred, capped at $20.00.
2.3 Creator Payout frequency will be twice a month, on the 14th and 28th of the month as per the existing set-up for MyMiniFactory Store Manager payouts. Please note in the lower half of the Statistics page with your Profile is a payment request button to be actioned maximum once per fortnight by the 12th and 26th of each month by midnight Pacific Standard US time (PST), to receive your payout by 14th and 28th of that month respectively. We plan to automate this feature in the near future.
2.4 All fees and payments will be clearly displayed in a dedicated Tribes creators Statistics page within your Profile.
2.5 Please note Tribes will only be operating in the US Dollar currency for the time being. We plan to add additional currencies in the future.

3. Sales Tax / VAT:
3.1 MyMiniFactory will manage all Sales Tax / VAT on behalf of the creator. We will collect and remit the applicable VAT on your behalf to the relevant tax authorities. We are doing this to protect our community and make matters as easy as possible for the creators on MyMiniFactory. This is for Tribes only currently, we plan to roll-out this format across all MyMiniFactory products soon.
3.2 Your Tribe (including potentially different tiers) will advertise the tier subscription price without VAT and then if a Triber is from an applicable country or region at the checkout stage the relevant sales tax / VAT due will be added to the subscription price. For example a creator inputs the subscription price without sales tax / VAT at $10. A Triber is from the UK and a 20% VAT rate is applicable. The price the Triber sees and pays at the checkout stage will be $12.
3.3 The MyMiniFactory 8% commission platform fee will be applicable on the Tribe tier subscription price without sales tax / VAT included.
3.4 Payment processing fees will be applicable on the gross Tribe tier subscription price with sales tax / VAT included

4. Tribers:
In order to maintain and promote our sustainable community we ask all creators to fulfil as much as possible, if not exceed, the expectations promised via their Tribe subscription. We will advise all Tribers to first contact their respective Tribe creator if they are unhappy with the level of service being provided.
All refunds, for the time being, will need to be requested via MyMiniFactory, who will then action your request on your behalf if it is deemed satisfactory.

Instead of putting the burden of calculating and collecting sales tax / VAT on content creators, MyMiniFactory will handle it for you as we are processing your subscriptions. We will present and charge sales tax / VAT at the applicable rate for your eligible subscribers. For all sales tax / VAT applicable transactions we process, we will also take care of the filing and remittance of the sales tax / VAT payments to the home country of the subscriber.

Please note every country handles sales tax / VAT in a different manner. We recommend consulting with a local tax advisor for the subsequent reasons:
1. Obtaining information on potential sales tax / VAT due if you offer physical or other goods besides digital services on MyMiniFactory Tribes
2. Obtaining confirmation that by using MyMiniFactory Tribes you will not be required to register for and collect sales tax / VAT
3. Any other local filing requirements you may have as a creator

Eligible subscribers will have sales tax / VAT added to their subscription payment. Sales tax / VAT charges are collected, processed and remitted via MyMiniFactory. Creator’s earnings are in no way affected by the sales tax / VAT we collect, as it’s in addition to the price for joining your subscription service. Sales tax / VAT will be listed and calculated for subscribers when they get to the checkout stage of the subscription joining process.

The sales tax / VAT rate subscribers are charged depends on the location they’ve set in the checkout process.

MyMiniFactory charges and remits sales tax / VAT in MyMiniFactroy’s name.

A) Tier subscription price = $10 (without VAT)
B) Applicable sales tax / VAT of 20% = $2 (total price paid is $10 + $2 = $12)
C) Payment processing fees = $0.65 (calculated on the gross $12 amount (including sales tax / VAT), fees are 2.9% + $0.30)*
D) MyMiniFactory 8% commission platform fee = $0.80 (calculated on the $10 tier subscription price (excluding sales tax / VAT))

Creator net payout earnings: $8.55 (= A - C - D) (= $10 - $0.65 - $0.80)

(please note MyMiniFactory collects the sales tax / VAT that the Triber originally paid ($2.00 in this example) and sends it to the relevant authority)

* please note the figures used in this example are rounded to 2 decimal places.

You can check what is wrong with your mesh using this little online tool.

It is a post Kickstarter offering where you can support Creators by backing their projects.

It is a bundle of STL products that are the same or similar as what is offered by the Creator Kickstarter project, which is called a “pledge”.

Add-ons are extra files that are released by Creators related to the specific campaign. Some are already available for purchase and others are already included in the previous defined pledge levels; meaning if they are part of our current pledge level it will show “You own this”. If you do not own the Add-on it will display “Buy” and will be able to download it by clicking “See items”.
