Terms of use

Last updated: 26 August 2026. This is a working draft, not legal advice.

BoredBanana.io is a marketplace for unfinished software projects. A listing (“Peel”) is an offer to sell a copy of source code plus a transfer of rights in that code — not a company, customers, or revenue.

Sellers must have the right to sell the code. Listings must not include malware, stolen repositories, leaked secrets, or tools whose main purpose is to bypass another service’s terms.

After payment, the buyer receives a read-only GitHub invite to an isolated vault copy. When the 3-day inspection window closes or the buyer approves, that vault repo is transferred to the buyer’s GitHub account. The window is for claims that the code does not match the listing or does not run as described in the README. Digital goods cannot be “returned” once cloned; refunds are exceptional and reviewed by hand.

Before a peel goes live, the seller must accept the Seller Code Submission & IP Assignment Deed. Before Peel It Off, the buyer must accept the Buyer Pre-Access NDA & Inspection Terms. Those documents are the click-wrap text recorded with the listing or deal.

Platform fee is 10% on sale. Listing a peel is free. The fee covers scanning, vault transfer, and holding funds — no extra charges. The buyer pays the listed price; the 10% is taken from the seller payout.

Until Stripe is enabled, checkout is a preview and no real charges are made.

A Bunch listing is not a sale. The founder keeps the original repository and may ask for funding, help, or both. Pledges are not equity, revenue share, or employment unless the parties sign a separate agreement off-platform. Until Stripe is enabled, funding pledges are preview records the founder can accept or decline.

Founders may post Bunch tasks with a percent of a future on-platform peel sale of the same repo. Contributors must accept the Bunch Contributor Terms to claim. That is not equity or a guaranteed payment. Free help offers stay available and separate. If the founder later sells a vault copy of the same repo on BoredBanana, accepted task shares are split from the founder's net after the platform fee. Until Stripe, those splits are preview records.

Side Peels is a discovery catalog of open Bunch work and helper cards. It is not a job board and not a wage. Intros are a note plus GitHub — not a hire. Claiming a task still requires the Bunch Contributor Terms. See Side Peels — discovery, not a job board.

Two people with live peels may propose a Peel Trade on the other seller’s public profile: vault copy for vault copy, with an optional cash top-up. Bunches cannot be traded. Both sides accept the Buyer Pre-Access NDA. A claim on one copy holds the pair. See Peel Trade — swap vault copies, not originals.

You can sign in with GitHub, or register a company account with email and password. A company account is a normal user with a public BU tag. Dropping a peel, growing a bunch, and peeling a vault copy still require GitHub, because those steps invite or scan GitHub repositories.
