By using Syncflow.com the User enters into an agreement on the use of services with Syncflow.com. Users are subject to the Terms and Conditions set out hereinafter, the Privacy Policy and any other relevant terms and conditions, policies and notices which may be applicable to a specific section or module of this website.
Users can access, print, download, and/or save these Terms and Conditions at any time by using the Terms & Conditions link on the Syncflow.com website.
§ 1 SUBJECT
- Syncflow.com is a music service that allows Users who want to licence music (in the broadest sense, hereinafter referred to as “Track(s)”) for Film, TV, Advertising and Interactive (“Requesting User”) to get in contact with Users who offer Tracks and to organise previously submitted Tracks. The Requesting User can get in contact with a User (who offers Tracks) by posting licensing requests on the platform (collectively referred to as “Requests”). Other Users (who offer Tracks) that are: (a) invited by the Requesting User or (b) Users legitimated by Syncflow.com (“Third Party User”) can submit Tracks to these Requests (collectively the “Responding User”).
- Third Party Users are Users legitimated by Syncflow.com. These Users can either submit Tracks directly or indirectly via Syncflow.com or Tracksandfields.com staff (in which case the Tracks by these Third Party Users are marked as “recommendations”).
- Syncflow.com offers the following options for Requesting Users:
- to create and use an account for a free private forum (hereinafter referred to as “Free Account(s)”) with limited functionality;
- to create and use an account for a paid private forum for setting up Requests, managing music projects and organising submitted Tracks (hereinafter referred to as “Premium Account(s)”).
- Details about the applicable fees for Premium Accounts are set forth on the Syncflow.com website and can be reviewed here. The fees listed are binding and any payments for Premium Accounts shall be due immediately upon creation of a Premium Account. We are entitled to deliver invoices and payment reminders to Users of Premium Accounts by email, in particular by adressing the email address belonging to the Premium Account of such Users. Upon written request (email sufficient) by the respective User, such invoices are available for the User to download from Syncflow.com for a period of one year from the date of invoicing. Payments can be made using various payment methods available on Syncflow.com. If we are unable to collect any fees for the usage of a Premium Account due to insufficient funds, the respective User shall bear all costs arising from the default of payment (including but not limited to bank charges, etc.) in case the User is responsible for these costs.
- The User acknowledges and accepts that Syncflow.com provides a platform to manage and organise Requests and music projects as well as submitted Tracks. For submissions of Third Party Users Syncflow.com supervises the process of finding and licensing music (and/or adjacent rights) of Responding Users to Requesting Users. In the course of doing so, Syncflow.com can (but not necessarily needs to) become a contracting party of Users. Apart from that, Syncflow.com does not take part in any communication between Users. When Users enter into agreements with each other by using Syncflow.com, but without involvement (in terms of supervision) of Syncflow.com, we shall not be a contracting party of such agreements, and the respective Users are solely responsible for the execution and performance of such agreements. In those cases we shall also in no event be held liable for Users being unable to contact each other by using Syncflow.com regarding such agreements, or any breach of contract regarding the aforementioned agreements between Users.
- When responding to a Request, the Responding User is expressing to the Requesting User that he is willing to enter into a licensing agreement based on the given terms for the given project. Responding to a Request does not automatically mean that the Responding User has already consented to the final licensing agreement. Once a Track is chosen to be licensed, the Requesting User can offer a licensing agreement that may or may not include additional terms to the Responding User. The Responding User is solely responsible (and shall be solely held liable) for making sure that all parties/third parties holding any rights to the respective Track have given their approval to and/or are entering (directly or via proxy) the licensing agreement, meaning that the execution of such agreement will in no case violate any party’s/third party’s rights to the respective Track.
- For the avoidance of any doubts, it it understood between Syncflow.com and all Users that no licensing agreement for any Track will come into effect before every rightsholder regarding the Track has agreed to the final terms of such agreement. The Responding User shall be solely held liable for any damages to any party/third party arising from him culpably entering or arranging a licensing agreement without the consent of any and all rightsholders regarding the Track.
- In case a Track is being licensed which is not taken from the Requesting User's network and has been introduced to the Requesting User by Syncflow, such license may be subject to an additional commission.
- Any use of services and Content found on Syncflow.com beyond the scope of options expressly provided by us requires our prior written consent in each instance.
