Frequently asked questions

Practical answers about buying, using and selling resources on PsychVault.

Buying and downloading

How do I buy or claim a resource?

Open a resource listing and check its description, previews, price and file details. Sign in with a verified email address. Select the buy or free claim button. Paid purchases go through Stripe Checkout; free claims do not require payment.

Where is my download?

After a successful purchase or free claim, open My Library while signed in to the same account. Find the resource and select Download. Paid checkout also directs you through a confirmation page. If access is missing, contact support with the purchase email, resource URL and any error shown.

What if a file is faulty or the listing is inaccurate?

Contact PsychVault with the resource URL, purchase email and a description or screenshot of the problem. Our refund policy explains assessment and Australian Consumer Law rights.

Formats and professional use

Which file formats will I receive?

Formats vary by listing. Check the resource description and file information before checkout, and make sure you have software that can open the listed format. Ask support if the delivered file differs from the listing.

Can I use a resource with clients or share it across my practice?

Where the creator’s licence permits client use, the individual purchasing clinician may print or privately send copies to their own clients. Permissions vary by resource: check the listing and included licence, and ask the creator before distributing client copies if permission is not stated. The standard licence does not permit team or practice-wide sharing, resale or public posting. Read the terms of service and contact us before purchase if ownership or permissions are unclear.

Are resources clinically validated?

Marketplace resources come from independent creators. A listing or creator badge does not establish that a file is a validated assessment, appropriate for every client or independently clinically reviewed. Check the source, intended use and your professional obligations before using it.

Accounts and support

Can I message a creator?

Where a store offers messaging, signed in buyers can ask a creator about a listing before purchasing. Use PsychVault support for order, billing or account problems.

How do I close an account or store?

Creators can archive listings or close a store from the creator dashboard. Contact PsychVault to request account deletion. Some transaction and dispute records may need to be retained after account closure.

How do I get help?

Use the contact form or email PsychVault support. Include the account or purchase email, relevant URL and the error or concern. Do not send passwords or identifiable client information.

Selling, fees and payouts

How do I become a creator?

Create an account, verify your email and apply for creator access. The application flow currently grants creator dashboard access immediately. A store needs the required professional credential details before publication. Paid listings need a payout ready Stripe Connect account.

What are the platform fees?

The standard platform fee is 20% of the sale price. Eligible creators who complete the 30 day Founder activation steps receive a 15% platform fee on their account. Creator share is calculated after that platform fee. Other payment charges or tax obligations should not be inferred from a simple percentage example. Check your creator payout information for your account's rate.

How does the Founder offer work?

Applying during the available offer starts a 30 day activation window. During that window, an approved creator who attaches their first downloadable resource can activate the 15% Founder rate and badge. The activated rate remains on the account. Check the creator dashboard for your own eligibility and deadline.

When will I be paid?

Paid listings require Stripe Connect onboarding. Stripe determines when funds become available and the bank payout schedule shown in your Stripe Express Dashboard. We cannot promise a fixed number of days after each sale.

Trust, reports and moderation

What does Verified creator mean?

A PsychVault administrator sets the badge on a creator store. The badge alone does not show which credentials were checked, and it is not an endorsement or independent clinical, legal or regulatory review of the store's resources.

How can I report a concern?

Use the report option where available or contact support with the listing or store URL and a clear explanation. PsychVault has moderation tools and can restrict or remove content after review.

Can buyers leave reviews?

Eligible buyers can leave resource reviews. Reviews and reports help identify issues but do not replace a buyer's assessment of suitability.
