Hiphopadellic entertainment GmbH, Lenzbüel 2, 8370 Sirnach, Switzerland, offers its products and services on its platforms to its users and clients according to the following Genereal Terms and Conditions (“GTC”).

1. Definitions

1.3. “SERVICE PROVIDER” means a third-party service provider (photographer, video producer, graphic designer, mix/master engineer, digital advertiser, socialmedia marketer, Spotify or other online marketing promoter, beat producer, musician, singer etc.) which offers services via the Platform and concludes a separate agreement with AGENT.
1.4. “Platform” means the online intermediation platform operated by AGENT where CLIENTs may select, book or connect with SERVICE PROVIDERs, as further described in these GTC.
1.5. “Services” means the services to be provided by the SERVICE PROVIDER to the CLIENT in the musical-project context (photography, video production, graphic design, mix & mastering, digital advertising, social media marketing, Spotify- or other online marketing and promotion, beat production), facilitated by the Platform.
1.6. “Booking” means the contractual engagement between a CLIENT and a SERVICE PROVIDER for the Services, facilitated via the Platform.
1.7. “Fee” means the remuneration payable by CLIENT to the SERVICE PROVIDER for the booked Services.
1.8 “Platform Notices” means any instructions, information, policies, guidelines, technical requirements, rules, announcements or updates communicated to CLIENT via the Platform interface, dashboard, notification banner, support center, FAQ, or other digital means used by AGENT.

2. Scope and application

2.1. These GTC govern the relationship between AGENT and each CLIENT in respect of the Platform and the making of Bookings via the Platform.
2.2. By using the Platform and/or making a Booking, the CLIENT acknowledges having read, understood and accepted these GTC.
2.3. These GTC apply in conjunction with any specific Booking-contract concluded between the CLIENT and the SERVICE PROVIDER (via the Platform). In case of conflict, the specific Booking-contract governs with regard to the CLIENT / SERVICE PROVIDER relationship.
2.4. The separate agreement between AGENT and each SERVICE PROVIDER (covering the intermediation fee for AGENT) is not part of these GTC and does not affect the CLIENT’s obligations hereunder.
2.5. The Platform is intended solely as an intermediation service. AGENT is not a contracting party to the Service Agreement concluded between CLIENT and SERVICE PROVIDER.

 

3. Services of the Platform

3.1. The Platform provides an online marketplace through which CLIENTs may browse, select, contact and book SERVICE PROVIDERs offering relevant Services.
3.2. The Platform’s role is purely that of an intermediary/facilitator; AGENT does not itself perform the substantive Services offered by SERVICE PROVIDERs (unless explicitly stated otherwise).
3.3. AGENT does not guarantee the performance, quality, timeliness or result of the Services provided by the SERVICE PROVIDERs. The contractual relationship for execution of the Services is directly between CLIENT and the SERVICE PROVIDER.
3.4. AGENT may assist with booking logistics, payment flow (if applicable), communication or dispute facilitation, but is not responsible for the actual delivery of the Service unless explicitly agreed.
3.5. The Platform is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without guarantee of uninterrupted availability. Temporary interruptions for maintenance, updates, outages or security checks may occur. AGENT is not liable for any interruption.
3.6. The presentation of services and content on the Platform is not a legally binding offer, but only provides a non-binding online catalogue.

 

4. Booking-procedure and payment

4.1. A CLIENT creates a Booking request via the Platform, and the SERVICE PROVIDER either accepts or declines. Once accepted, a binding contract is formed between CLIENT and SERVICE PROVIDER for the provision of the Services, subject to payment of the Fee as agreed in the Booking-contract.
4.2. The Fee shall be paid by the CLIENT to the AGENT (and/or directly via the Platform if applicable) under the terms of the Booking. The CLIENT shall meet the agreed payment terms punctually. AGENT will forward the payment to the SERVICE PROVIDER, minus its commission, as agreed in the agreement between AGENT and SERVICE PROVIDER.
4.3. In the event the Platform facilitates payments on behalf of the SERVICE PROVIDER, AGENT may temporarily hold amounts or pass them on, as specified in the Booking-contract or payment terms.
4.4. VAT, taxes or other duties: CLIENT acknowledges that the Fee may be subject to value-added tax (VAT) or other local taxes; where applicable the CLIENT will bear such. AGENT and/or SERVICE PROVIDER will inform the CLIENT if VAT is charged.
4.5. If the CLIENT fails to pay the Fee or any portion thereof, AGENT reserves the right to suspend or terminate the CLIENT’s access to the Platform and to charge any collection costs or interest as permitted by Swiss law.

4.7. AGENT may, at its sole discretion, delay payouts to SERVICE PROVIDER or freeze accounts for compliance, fraud prevention or dispute purposes.

 

5. Intermediation Fee of AGENT

5.1. CLIENT acknowledges that the SERVICE PROVIDER has entered into an agreement with AGENT under which the SERVICE PROVIDER pays AGENT an intermediation fee as agreed between AGENT and the SERVICE PROVIDER). The CLIENT is not party to that agreement and owes no such fee themselves.
5.2. AGENT’s entitlement to the intermediation fee arises from the relationship with the SERVICE PROVIDER and does not affect the CLIENT’s payment of the Fee.

 

6. CLIENT’s obligations

6.1. The CLIENT warrants that all information provided to the Platform (when registering, booking, commissioning Services) is accurate, complete and up-to-date.
6.2. The CLIENT shall use the Platform and the Services in good faith and in compliance with these GTC, applicable law and good-market practice.
6.3. The CLIENT shall provide necessary information, materials, access, cooperation and approvals (e.g., for photography, video-shoots, beat-production) in a timely manner so that the SERVICE PROVIDER can perform the Services. Delay or failure of the CLIENT to provide such may relieve the SERVICE PROVIDER (and indirectly AGENT) from liability for delay or non-performance.
6.4. The CLIENT shall respect the intellectual property rights and other rights of third parties in connection with the Services and the use of deliverables.
6.5. The CLIENT shall not misuse the Platform, e.g. by circumventing the Platform to engage SERVICE PROVIDERs directly without routing via the Platform (if prohibited), by impersonation, spamming, misrepresentation, or by posting false reviews.
6.6. Anti-circumvention: For a period of 18 months after the CLIENT last contacted a SERVICE PROVIDER via the Platform, the CLIENT shall not engage, pay, commission or collaborate with such SERVICE PROVIDER outside the Platform without prior written approval from AGENT.

6.8. The CLIENT shall ensure that any content, instructions, materials, names, images, samples, stems, lyrics or creative direction do not infringe third party rights and do not violate personality rights under Swiss law.
6.9. The CLIENT shall indemnify and hold harmless AGENT from any third-party claims arising out of material provided by CLIENT to the SERVICE PROVIDER or via the Platform.
6.10. AGENT may ask the CLIENT to establish a user account (“Account”), which requires specific registration, identification, and payment information. The CLIENT warrants and represents that all information provided in connection with registration for an Account is true and correct. The CLIENT is permitted to create only one (1) Account, and transfer or sale of the same is prohibited. Registration for an Account may be denied, suspended, or revoked by the AGENT at any time, in the AGENT’s discretion, if the CLIENT fails to meet or comply with the AGENT’s guidelines, quality assurance evaluation, anti-fraud policies, or customer authentication efforts. CLIENT’s who have been rejected, suspended, denied, or banned from establishing an Account shall not attempt to register another Account using the same or different registration information. Any such circumvention efforts shall be deemed to be fraudulent and unlawful.

The CLIENT shall be responsible for all uses and/or activities conducted through the CLIENT’s Account, whether or not authorized by the CLIENT. The CLIENT agrees to immediately notify AGENT of any unauthorized access or use of the AGENT’s Account. The AGENT disclaims any and all liability resulting from fraudulent access and/or use of the website via the CLIENT’s Account.
