Terms and Conditions

1. Scope

These Terms and Conditions apply to the use of the Tecknoid303 music portal and to all contracts initiated or concluded through it. The operator is Müller Service UG (limited liability), Scheinerstraße 56, 50737 Cologne, Germany.

Deviating terms of a user apply only if the operator has expressly agreed to their validity in text form. Mandatory statutory provisions remain unaffected.

2. User roles and contracting parties

Tecknoid303 is intended in particular for buyers, live acts, producers, other artists offering their own electronic music works, and scouts. Depending on the enabled role, users may access different functions.

The operator provides the technical platform as well as sales, download, profile, administration and accounting functions. Unless expressly stated otherwise during checkout, the contract for the purchase of digital music content is concluded between the buyer and the operator. Participating artists receive the revenue share displayed on the portal.

3. Registration, account security and information

Functions requiring registration may be used only with complete and accurate information. Material changes must be updated promptly in the account or communicated to the operator.

Login credentials must be kept confidential and may not be passed to third parties. Users must inform the operator immediately if they suspect unauthorised access. Multiple, sham or deceptive accounts and the circumvention of restrictions are prohibited.

Artist, scout and payment-related accounts are generally intended for adults or persons validly represented. The operator may request reasonable evidence of identity, authority to represent, ownership of rights or entitlement to receive payment.

4. Original works only

Original individual tracks, EPs, albums and live performances are permitted provided that the recording contains only the performing artist’s own works. Where several authors or contributors are involved, all required consents must be available.

With each upload, the artist confirms again that the content, recording, composition, lyrics, cover artwork, artist name, metadata and all other elements may be used lawfully.

5. Prohibited content

The following are prohibited in particular:

• DJ sets or mixes containing music owned by other rights holders;
• remixes, mashups, bootlegs, edits, reworks or other adaptations of third-party works;
• cover versions, third-party compositions or third-party recordings;
• samples, loops, vocals, presets, images or other elements unless the required licence clearly covers publication, preview, sale and download;
• unlawful, misleading, insulting, discriminatory, violence-glorifying, harmful-to-minors or otherwise inadmissible content;
• malware, manipulated files, false metadata and content intended to deceive or circumvent technical safeguards.

Lawfully licensed production tools or sound libraries may be used only where their licence permits the specific commercial use and distribution and no third-party musical work is incorporated as such.

6. Warranty of rights and evidence

The artist warrants that they are the author or otherwise sufficiently authorised rights holder of every uploaded element. This includes, in particular, copyright, related rights, phonogram producer rights, personality rights, trademark rights and rights in images.

Appropriate evidence must be supplied within a reasonable period upon request. Until the matter is clarified, the operator may temporarily withhold or block affected content, revenue, payouts or account functions.

7. Rights of use for operating the platform

For the duration of publication, the artist grants the operator a simple, non-exclusive, worldwide right of use limited to the contractual purpose. It includes storage, technical reproduction, making available to the public, display, promotion, audio previews, provision for paid download and the technical processing required for those purposes.

The right also includes use of the artist name, profile text, cover artwork, excerpts and metadata within Tecknoid303 and in communication and advertising directly related to the platform. Independent exploitation outside this purpose is not permitted.

When publication ends, the licence ends unless statutory retention, evidentiary or settlement purposes require limited continued storage. Purchases and downloads already made lawfully remain valid.

8. Review, reports and removal

There is no entitlement to publication or permanent availability. The operator may review, reject, temporarily block or remove content before or after publication, in particular in cases of legal violations, complaints, unclear ownership of rights, quality or security issues, or breaches of these Terms.

Reports of possible rights infringements will be reviewed. Artists must cooperate in clarifying the matter. The operator is not obliged to monitor uploads generally without a specific reason.

9. Product presentation and contract formation

The presentation of digital content on the portal does not constitute a binding offer but an invitation to place an order. The buyer submits a binding offer by completing the designated ordering process.

The contract is concluded by express confirmation, successful payment confirmation or provision of the download. Input errors may be corrected using the available functions before the order is completed.

10. Prices, payment and payment service providers

The prices displayed on the portal at the time of ordering apply. Information on VAT and other price components is provided in accordance with statutory requirements and the relevant product presentation.

Payment is made using the payment methods offered during checkout, in particular PayPal. The conditions of the respective payment service provider also apply. The operator may withhold or cancel orders if payment fails, is reversed or appears suspicious.

11. Provision of digital content and remedies for defects

Purchased digital content is made available through the download function provided on the portal after successful payment processing. The buyer is responsible for a suitable internet connection, compatible devices and secure storage of downloaded files.

For consumers, the statutory provisions on digital products apply, in particular concerning provision, conformity and remedies for defects. Statutory warranty rights are not restricted by these Terms.

For security reasons, download links and tokens may be limited in time, quantity or technical use. The buyer may contact support in the event of legitimate technical problems.

12. Right of withdrawal for digital content

Consumers generally have a statutory right of withdrawal. For digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, this right may expire early if the consumer expressly agrees that performance may begin before the withdrawal period has expired, confirms awareness that this causes the right of withdrawal to be lost, and the trader provides the legally required contract confirmation.

Where applicable, the required declarations and withdrawal information are provided separately during checkout. These Terms do not replace any legally required withdrawal information.

13. Buyer’s right of use

Upon full payment, the buyer receives a simple, permanent and non-transferable right to store and play the purchased music file on their own devices exclusively for private purposes.

Resale, onward distribution, making available to the public, uploading to file-sharing or streaming platforms, public performance, broadcasting, synchronisation with images, editing, sampling, commercial use and sublicensing are prohibited unless a separate licence has expressly been granted.

14. Artist revenue, accounting and payouts

Artists receive the share displayed on the portal, in the dashboard or in a supplementary agreement for sales that have been validly concluded and finally paid. The conditions displayed at the time of sale are decisive.

Chargebacks, refunds, payment fees, fraud cases, taxes or erroneous credits may be taken into account in accounting and offset against existing or future balances.

Payouts are made through the available payout methods and only to verified, authorised recipients. Displayed minimum amounts, payout intervals, review periods and required payment details must be observed. Where there is reasonable suspicion of an infringement, manipulation or unauthorised payment, a payout may be temporarily suspended until clarification.

15. Scout and referral programme

Where Tecknoid303 offers a scout or referral programme, the allocation, commission and payout rules displayed on the portal apply. Commission arises only for properly recorded, valid and finally paid transactions.

Self-referrals, multiple accounts, misleading advertising, spam, purchased or manipulated traffic, technical circumvention and any other artificial creation of allocations or commissions are prohibited. Unauthorised credits may be corrected and accounts may be blocked.

16. Taxes, invoicing and payment details

Each artist and scout is responsible for the accuracy of their information and for complying with their own tax, trade, social-security and other statutory obligations. The operator may request legally required evidence and information and may make reports or withhold amounts where required by law.

17. Suspension, termination and consequences

Users may terminate their account using the provided functions or by giving notice. Statutory retention duties and outstanding settlements remain unaffected.

The operator may temporarily restrict content or accounts and may terminate the contractual relationship without notice for good cause. Good cause exists in particular in cases of serious or repeated legal violations, false warranties of rights, payment manipulation, fraud, misuse, risk to other users or failure to provide required evidence.

Before a permanent suspension, the user will generally be heard unless immediate action is required, legal reasons prevent this or a hearing would clearly serve no purpose.

18. Availability and changes to the service

The operator endeavours to provide a reliable service but does not owe uninterrupted availability at all times. Maintenance, security measures, disruptions, force majeure or dependencies on third-party providers may cause restrictions.

Functions may be developed, adapted or discontinued where this is reasonable in view of users’ interests and does not unreasonably impair rights already acquired.

19. Operator liability

The operator is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for culpable injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act and to the extent of expressly assumed guarantees.

In cases of slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract at the time of conclusion. Essential contractual obligations are those whose performance makes proper execution of the contract possible and on whose compliance the contracting party may regularly rely.

Otherwise, liability for slight negligence is excluded. The preceding provisions apply accordingly to the operator’s corporate bodies, employees and vicarious agents.

20. Responsibility and indemnification

Users are responsible for content, information and actions they provide. If a user culpably infringes third-party rights or these Terms, the user shall indemnify the operator against justified third-party claims and the necessary reasonable costs of legal defence. This does not apply where the user is not responsible for the infringement.

21. Privacy

Information about the processing of personal data is contained in the separate Privacy Policy. It does not form part of these Terms.

22. Changes to these Terms

The operator may amend these Terms with effect for the future where there is an objective reason, in particular changes in law, new functions, security requirements or changes to the business model, and the amendment is reasonable for users.

Registered users will be informed of material changes in an appropriate manner. Where consent is legally required, it will be obtained expressly. Individual purchases already concluded remain subject to the version applicable when the contract was formed.

23. Applicable law and final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of mandatory protection under the law of their habitual residence.

If the user is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, Cologne is the exclusive place of jurisdiction to the extent permitted by law.

If any provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid, the remaining provisions remain unaffected. The statutory provisions replace the invalid provision.
