The terms of using Animist. Please read them before ordering or buying.
Last updated: 11 October 2026
1. Acceptance
These terms govern the use of Animist, which is operated by Fouzhan Gostar Trade & Technology Co.. By creating an account or using the service you accept them.
2. What Animist is
Animist is an intermediary and not a party to the contract between client and specialist. The quality of the work and the accuracy of a listing are the seller's responsibility. Animist provides the means to find a specialist, place an order, pay and settle disputes.
Animist's commission follows the schedule published on the fees page, fixed on each order when it is placed. It is deducted from the seller's share and never added to what the buyer pays.
3. Your account
Keep your details accurate and current.
You are responsible for your password and for what is done with your account.
Placing orders, paying, publishing listings and withdrawing require a confirmed email address.
If an account breaks these terms Animist may restrict or suspend it, and tells its owner why.
4. Ordering a service
By placing an order the client accepts the specialist's stated terms: price, delivery time and number of revisions.
Payment for a service is held by Animist until the delivery is approved. When the work is split into milestones, each milestone's payment is held and released on its own.
After each delivery the client has 5 days to approve it or raise a dispute. With no answer in that time the delivery counts as accepted and the payment goes to the specialist. A dispute stops that clock.
5. Buying a digital asset
The file is delivered as soon as you pay and can be downloaded from My Orders. Payment for a digital asset is not held, because the file already exists.
By paying, the buyer accepts that delivery is immediate.
If the file does not match its listing or will not open, the buyer may ask for a refund from My Orders within 14 days of purchase. Animist reviews the request; if it is accepted the payment is returned and access to the file is withdrawn.
What the buyer may do with the file is the licence chosen at purchase: personal, commercial or exclusive.
6. Refunds
A service order cancelled before work starts is refunded in full.
If a dispute is settled in the client's favour, whatever has not yet been released is refunded. Work already approved and paid for is not clawed back.
7. Disputes
If client and specialist cannot agree, either may raise a dispute in the order room. Animist decides on the record kept there: the conversation, the versions delivered and the notes left on them.
A dispute not settled this way is governed by the laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its competent courts.
8. Paying the specialist
Once a payment is released, the specialist's earnings can be withdrawn from Finance in the dashboard, to a SHEBA account registered in their own name.
9. Intellectual property and AI
Works and digital assets belong to their creators. A seller warrants that what they offer infringes nobody's rights, and answers for any claim.
Every digital asset carries a unique ID and a certificate of authenticity.
A seller of a digital asset must state on the listing how much generative AI was used. A listing declared AI-generated may not describe itself as handmade.
If someone has published your work on Animist without permission, write to info@animist.ir.
10. Conduct
Publishing unlawful, fake or infringing content is not allowed.
Taking a deal that started on Animist off the platform is not allowed.
11. Limitation of liability
Animist is not liable for indirect losses arising from using, or being unable to use, the service.
12. Changes
Animist may update these terms; the current version is always on this page. Each order keeps the terms in force when it was placed.
