Sections 7 to 7e additionally apply to the individual types of services.

(4) Certain services (in particular regular vocal coaching) are only visible and bookable for unlocked customers. There is no entitlement to activation; activation takes place after the paid vocal analysis or by individual agreement.

§ 3 Conclusion of Contract

(1) The presentation of products in the online shop does not constitute a legally binding offer, but an invitation to place an order without obligation.

(2) By clicking the button "Order with obligation to pay" in the shopping cart or by completing the payment process, the Customer submits a binding offer to enter into a purchase contract. The contract is concluded as soon as the Provider accepts the order by an order confirmation via email; at the latest, however, upon successful payment processing via the payment service provider Stripe.

(3) The contract language is German. The text of the contract is saved by the Provider; the Customer receives the order data, the cancellation policy, and these GTC by email (confirmation pursuant to § 312f BGB). Registered customers can additionally view their order data at any time via their customer account. For orders placed as a guest (without an account), access is provided via the personal order link in the confirmation email; if the guest later creates an account using the same email address, the order will automatically be assigned to this account.

§ 4 Prices and Payment Terms

(1) All prices displayed in the shop are final prices in Euros and include statutory German VAT. No shipping costs apply to digital content.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph 1: For business customers based in another EU member state who provide a valid VAT identification number, the service is billed without German VAT; the tax liability shifts to the recipient of the service (reverse charge, § 13b UStG or Art. 196 VAT Directive). For customers based outside the EU, billing is handled as a non-taxable or tax-exempt service. The applicable tax treatment is shown during checkout and on the invoice.

(3) The provider reserves the right to remove individual tracks from the offer. Licenses already acquired and the associated files remain unaffected; the customer is advised to back up acquired files locally.

Consumers generally have a right of withdrawal. Details can be found in the Right of Withdrawal.

Consumers can additionally declare cancellation via the electronic cancellation function in accordance with Section 356a BGB. The provider shall confirm receipt of the declaration electronically without delay, reproducing its content and stating the date and time of receipt.

For services related to leisure activities for which a specific date or period is provided (in particular on-site workshops), there is no right of withdrawal pursuant to Section 312g (2) No. 9 BGB. In this respect, the cancellation terms of Section 7b apply.

Important Notice for Digital Content: The right of withdrawal for the delivery of digital content not delivered on a tangible medium expires pursuant to Section 356 (5) BGB if the provider has begun execution of the contract after the consumer has (i) expressly agreed to the execution beginning before the expiration of the withdrawal period, (ii) confirmed their awareness that by giving their consent they lose their right of withdrawal once execution begins, and (iii) the provider has provided the consumer with confirmation pursuant to Section 312f BGB. These consents are actively requested during checkout prior to contract conclusion.

§ 7 Mixing and Mastering Services

(1) The order is concluded through the acceptance of an individual offer from the provider or by booking via the website. The scope of services is determined by the respective service description.

(2) The customer shall provide the provider with all audio files (stems/tracks) required to perform the service in professional quality (at least 24 bit / 44.1 kHz, without clipping, with a consistent start point). Delays resulting from incompletely or defectively delivered stems shall not be at the provider's expense.

(3) Unless agreed otherwise, the agreed fee is due in full upon placement of the order . Processing will only begin after full receipt of payment.

(4) Unless explicitly specified otherwise, the agreed fee includes up to three (3) revision rounds . Further revisions will be billed according to effort at standard market hourly rates.

(5) The usual turnaround time is 7–14 business days from full receipt of all stems as well as receipt of payment. Binding delivery dates require express written confirmation.

(6) Usage rights: The transfer of usage rights for the finished mix or master to the customer only occurs upon full payment of the agreed fee. Until then, commercial exploitation is not permitted. The provider reserves the right to showcase the finished work in an anonymized form as a reference/portfolio piece, unless the customer expressly objects.

(7) The customer warrants that they hold all necessary rights to the stems provided by them and indemnifies the provider from third-party claims due to rights infringements resulting from the material provided by the customer.

(8) If a Mix & Master is purchased as an add-on to a beat purchase, the customer must supply the files to be processed (vocals/stems) within three (3) months from the date of purchase. This is a duty of cooperation on the part of the customer. After this period has expired, the provider shall remind the customer by email and set a grace period of a further fourteen (14) days. If the customer fails to deliver any files within the grace period, the claim to the performance of the add-on service shall lapse; in this case, no refund of the fee attributable to the add-on shall be made, as the provider maintained readiness to perform throughout the entire period. Deadlines may be extended by mutual agreement upon request in individual cases; the provider will not unreasonably refuse an extension for plausible reasons. Statutory rights of the customer, in particular in the event of non-performance by the provider, remain unaffected.

Section 7a Vocal Coaching

(1) Entry into coaching takes place via the paid vocal analysis. Upon its completion, the provider may unlock the customer for regular individual sessions.

(2) Appointments are booked via the time slots displayed in the customer portal. Reserved time slots expire if the booking is not paid for within the displayed period.

(3) Cancellations and rebookings are possible free of charge up to 24 hours before the appointment. In the event of later cancellations or no-shows, the session is deemed rendered; the fee or used unit of a 10-session pass will not be refunded. Inabilities to attend due to good cause will be handled accommodatingly upon proof.

(4) Session packages (10-session passes) are valid for twelve (12) months from activation. The provider sends a reminder by email before expiration. Unused units expire after this period; an extension is possible upon request on an individual basis. In the event of a justified cancellation or refund, units already used will be deducted at the respective single-session price.

(5) Coaching is an artistic-educational service. A specific outcome (e.g., specific vocal development) is not guaranteed.

Section 7b On-Site Workshops

(1) Workshops are initiated via a non-binding inquiry. The provider creates an individual offer (base price plus surcharges, in particular for travel, travel time, accommodation, and number of participants). The contract only comes into effect upon acceptance of the offer by the customer and successful payment.

(2) The customer provides the room, power supply, and suitable basic equipment (coordinated as needed) and names a responsible contact person.

(3) Cancellation by the customer: free of charge up to 30 days before the date; 50% of the total price up to 15 days before the date; 100% thereafter. Travel or accommodation costs already incurred and non-refundable must be borne in any case. If the provider has to cancel the date, an alternative date will be offered or the amount paid will be fully refunded.

(4) Express reference is made to exceptions to the right of withdrawal for scheduled leisure events (Section 312g (2) No. 9 BGB).

§ 7c Stems/Multitracks and AAP License

(1) For stem and multitrack products, the customer selects a binding AAP License during checkout (e.g., Church – single location, Church – multiple locations, Single event). The scope of the respective license is displayed before contract conclusion and provided to the customer as a license PDF containing a snapshot of the terms valid at the time of purchase.

(2) The AAP License exclusively governs the use of the audio files provided by the provider. It is not a CCLI license and does not replace third-party rights (in particular rights to composition and lyrics as well as rights of performance rights organizations). The customer is solely responsible for any required third-party licenses.

(3) The license becomes effective upon full payment. In the event of a refund or effective revocation, the license is revoked; any further use is no longer permitted from receipt of the notification, and any copies already made must be deleted.

§ 7d Add-ons

(1) Add-ons extend a main service (e.g., additional revision round, Mix & Master for a beat purchase). An add-on may refer to an independent service of the provider; in this case, the relevant provisions of these Terms and Conditions apply unchanged to the referenced part of the service.

(2) Prices and scope of services for add-ons are displayed in the checkout before contract conclusion.

§ 7e Customer Account, Guest Checkout, Reviews, Newsletter

(1) A customer account is not required for purchases; orders can also be placed as a guest. Registered customers receive permanent access to downloads, licenses, and invoices for as long as the account exists. The customer may request the deletion of their account at any time; statutory retention obligations (in particular under tax law) remain unaffected.

(2) Product reviews can only be submitted by customers who have verifiably purchased the respective product (verified purchase). The provider checks this automatically based on order data. Reviews containing illegal, offensive, or demonstrably untrue content may be removed. Reviews are not solicited for remuneration.

(3) The newsletter is sent exclusively following explicit consent and confirmation of the email address via double opt-in procedure. Consent can be revoked at any time via the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email or by messaging the provider. Subscribing to the newsletter is not a prerequisite for purchase.

(4) Performance-based or gamified elements in the customer account (e.g., badges/achievements) are non-binding additional features with no monetary value; there is no entitlement to their continued availability.

§ 8 Warranty

Statutory warranty provisions apply. For digital products and services, the customer is requested to report obvious defects immediately upon receipt; this is not a prerequisite for a consumer's warranty claims.

§ 9 Liability

(1) The provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, in the event of injury to life, body, or health, and in accordance with the provisions of the Product Liability Act.

(2) In the event of a slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfillment is essential to the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the contractual partner may regularly rely), liability shall be limited in amount to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.

(3) Apart from this, the provider's liability for slight negligence is excluded.

§ 10 Final Provisions

(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, to the exclusion of the UN Sales Convention (CISG). Mandatory consumer protection regulations of the state in which the consumer has their habitual residence remain unaffected.

(2) If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is the registered office of the provider.

(3) Dispute resolution notice: The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. The provider is neither willing nor obligated to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

(4) Should individual provisions of these Terms and Conditions be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
