# VELDO

VELDO is a design platform by Nidol Inc. Designers upload original work for free. Each week the VELDO team picks designs to turn into real products sold on nidol.com and marketplaces such as Amazon, TikTok Shop and Walmart. The designer is credited and earns a reward on every piece sold, for as long as it sells.

- **Earn**: A reward on every piece sold, paid monthly.

## FAQ

### What is VELDO?

A free platform where independent designers upload original logos, typography and illustrations. Designs selected by the VELDO team are made into real products and sold; the designer earns a reward on every piece sold.

### How is the reward calculated?

A share of each sale’s price. The share depends on the sales channel (our own store vs. marketplaces like Amazon) and is set out in the license you sign when selected. Counted when payment arrives, deducted for returns, paid monthly.

### How do I get paid?

Mainland China: Alipay or bank card. Elsewhere: PayPal or a US bank account. US tax rules require a W-9 or W-8BEN first.

### Who owns the copyright?

Your name stays on your work. How the work may be used and licensed is set out in the Upload Terms, which you confirm before every upload.

### How old do I need to be?

You can join from age 13. Under 18, a parent or guardian adds their details and agrees; they sign the license and receive rewards.

### Can I use AI?

As a helper, yes. Choose the honest creation source (original, AI-assisted or AI-generated) and confirm it doesn’t copy anyone’s work or trademark.

### Does it cost anything?

No. VELDO handles production, sales and shipping.
