Terms Of Service

EagleTunes is a music platform developed by musicians for musicians. On the one hand, it is intended to give musicians the opportunity to market their products independently and self-determined, and on the other hand, to give fans the opportunity to support their favorite artists directly.

Our mission is to fight the unfair conditions of streaming platforms and major deals by empowering independent artists to be in full control of their income, rights and success. We want to raise the value of music back to a level where it belongs.

In the “Vendor Membership” the following applies:

      1. The transaction fee is 15% on all successfully processed payments related to Artists’ products and offers, such as albums, EP’s, singles, events excluding transaction fees from third party or intermediary payment providers.

      1. The payment processing fee, which is calculated as a percentage of successfully processed payments and as a flat fee per successfully processed payment, and which relates to the cost of processing fan payments, including recurring billing, re-billing of rejected payments, and fraud prevention.

      1. The withdrawal fee, which is a charge for transferring money you have earned on EagleTunes to your specified withdrawal method and may vary depending on the specified withdrawal method.

We do not apply this fee and have no control over or knowledge of whether the fee is applied and do not receive any of the funds from this fee.

    Even if a fan pays in the same currency as the currency associated with his or her payment method, the financial institution associated with that payment method may impose a foreign transaction fee for that payment if a fan’s payment is processed in a country other than the country associated with his or her payment method. We do not apply this fee, have no knowledge of whether the fee is imposed, and do not receive any of the funds from this fee, but our choice of payment processing may affect or cause this fee.

These features may be subject to additional restrictions and limitations.

       

      What you need to know as a fan

      In a nutshell: A Fan is a person who has made a purchase on EagleTunes. By making an offer on EagleTunes, Fans can receive products directly from the Artist and interact directly with Artists using the tools we provide and have the ability to connect with a community of Fans and Artists through EagleTunes.

      As a fan, you support an artist and may receive special benefits such as exclusive works. You pay on a one-time basis. EagleTunes is the billing site associated with this fee.
      To become a fan, you simply purchase a paid offer or product onEagleTunes. Subject to these Terms and the payment in full of all applicable fees, to the extent that the Offer or Product includes access to one or more Artists’ Works, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, limited license to access and display such Works for your own private, personal, non-promotional as well as non-commercial use.

      You may lose access to listings and products you have purchased if, for example, we terminate your account.

      If you are in a jurisdiction where EagleTunes is required to collect taxes, such as sales tax, that tax will be added to the total fee. Except in a few cases, you will see this tax when you purchase a listing or product. EagleTunes will remit any taxes collected to the appropriate taxing authority or Artist for tax settlement. Since taxes are largely dependent on your location, you agree that your location will always be complete and up-to-date to allow for accurate collection of taxes.

      If you pay in a currency other than that of your payment method, the financial institution associated with that payment method may charge a foreign transaction fee for that payment. We do not apply this fee and have no control over or knowledge of whether the fee is applied and do not receive any of the funds from this fee.

      Even if you pay in the same currency as the currency associated with your payment type, the financial institution associated with that payment type may impose a foreign transaction fee for that payment if the payment is processed in a country other than the country associated with your payment type. We do not apply this fee, have no knowledge of whether the fee is imposed, and do not receive any of the funds from this fee, but our choice of payment processing may affect or cause this fee.

      We are constantly experimenting with product features to improve EagleTunes, and may add, remove, or test features with a subset of fans. Access to these features is not guaranteed and may not be under your control. We may enable and disable these early access, beta or test features at our discretion. These features may be subject to additional restrictions and limitations.

      Refunds: Our policy is not to issue refunds even if you lose access to offers and products as described above.

      Concert Tickets / Events

      Eagletunes is not the organizer of the events offered. These are carried out by the respective organizer, who is also the issuer of the tickets. By purchasing the ticket, contractual relationships with regard to the event attendance are established exclusively between the ticket holder and the respective organizer. These legal relationships may be subject to the organizer’s own general terms and conditions. Eagletunes sells the tickets on behalf of the respective event organizer as an agent or commission agent, unless it is expressly designated as the event organizer in individual cases. By ordering tickets, the visitor commissions EAGLETUNES to process the ticket purchase including shipping.

      Conclusion of contract – events/concert tickets

      1. The offer to conclude a contract is made by the user as soon as he/she has clicked on the so-called “buy button” or the button clearly labeled in accordance with § 312j para. 3 BGB. A contract between the visitor and the respective contractual partner (organizer or Eagletunes) is only concluded when the transaction number / order number / order number is allocated and sent to the visitor by Eagletunes.
      2. Unless otherwise agreed at the time of purchase, commercial resale of the admission ticket(s) is not permitted; non-commercial resale is only permitted at a price equal to the printed price of the admission ticket(s) plus proven fees/costs incurred at the time of the original purchase (e.g. postage and shipping costs), up to a maximum of 25% of the printed price. In the event of a breach of the aforementioned condition, the respective organizer has the right to refuse admission to the event without replacement.
      3. Eagletunes is entitled to cancel an order of the visitor for which a transaction number / order number / order number has already been assigned (unilateral right of withdrawal) if the visitor violates specific conditions set by the organizer and / or by Eagletunes, which were pointed out during the pre-sale, or tries to circumvent them (e.g. violation of the restriction of ticket sales). e.g. violation of restrictions on the number of tickets per customer, in particular resale bans, attempts to circumvent these by registering and using several user profiles etc.) and / or there are outstanding claims from the previous business relationship with the customer. In particular, neither the use of tickets for commercial advertising and / or marketing purposes (e.g. as prizes for commercial competitions and / or other commercial competitions) nor the resale of tickets in the access and / or entrance area of the event venue covered by the organizer’s domiciliary rights is permitted without the prior written consent of the respective organizer. Cancellation/withdrawal may also be declared implicitly by crediting the amounts paid.
      4. The aforementioned right of withdrawal is subject to §§ 346 ff. BGB apply to the aforementioned right of withdrawal to the exclusion of § 350 BGB.
      5. In the event of rescheduled events, the organizer is entitled to declare the validity of the original tickets of the rescheduled event for the new, rescheduled date of the event. A return of the tickets to the organizer or a reversal of the ticket purchase as a result of the postponement is not possible in these cases, unless it can be proven that the ticket holder cannot reasonably be expected to attend the rescheduled date. This does not apply if the organizer is responsible for the postponement of the event.
      6. In the event that the General Terms and Conditions of the organizer and the General Terms and Conditions of Eagletunes contain contradictory provisions, the General Terms and Conditions of Eagletunes shall take precedence over the specific terms and conditions of the organizer.
      Price components & payment modalities for tickets

      1. Ticket prices may exceed the printed ticket prices. Payment is possible by credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners or Discover) and PayPal, depending on the event and the order modalities. The statutory value added tax is included in the price. The total price of the order, including all fees, is due for payment immediately upon conclusion of the contract for credit card and PayPal payment methods.
      2. When ordering online, service and shipping costs may be charged, which may vary depending on the event. These fees are displayed to the customer in the shopping cart when ordering; there are no other costs that are not shown.
      3. Data transmission for credit card transactions with the use of 3D-Secure Due to legal requirements (implementation of the Payment Services Directive “PSD2”) and/or to protect against fraudulent use of credit card data, the so-called 3D-Secure procedure can be used. In this process, browser data, credit card data, address data (billing address, email address) and the transaction amount with currency are transmitted to the card-issuing institution via the credit card organizations. This data is used by the card-issuing institution to determine the fraud risk of the transaction; depending on the amount and the result of the credit institution’s check, additional approval of the credit card transaction may be required, e.g. via TAN or app.
      Right to cancel tickets

      There is no right of withdrawal for consumers or the right of withdrawal for consumers may expire prematurely for the following contracts:

      1. Contracts for the provision of services in the areas of accommodation for purposes other than residential purposes, transportation of goods, vehicle rental, delivery of food and beverages and for the provision of other services in connection with leisure activities, if the contract provides for a specific date or period for the provision (§ 312g para. 2 sentence 1 no. 9 BGB Germany). This means that if Eagletunes offers services in the area of leisure activities, in particular tickets for events, there is no right of withdrawal. Each order of tickets is binding immediately after confirmation according to section III. 1. by Eagletunes and obliges to accept and pay for the ordered tickets.
      2. Contracts for the delivery of audio or video recordings or computer software in a sealed package, if the seal has been removed after delivery (§ 312g para. 2 sentence 1 no. 6 BGB Germany).
      Retention of title; offsetting; right of retention when purchasing tickets

      1. In the case of a user, Eagletunes retains title to the purchased item until the invoice amount has been paid in full. In the case of personalized tickets, the transfer of the claim arising from the ticket is subject to the condition of full payment of the invoice amount. The corresponding security rights are transferable to third parties.
      2. If the customer is an entrepreneur in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, Eagletunes reserves the title to the purchased item until all outstanding claims from the business relationship with the customer have been settled. In the case of personalized tickets, the transfer of the claim resulting from the ticket is subject to the condition of settlement of all outstanding claims from the business relationship with the user. The corresponding security rights are transferable to third parties.
      3. The user is only entitled to set-off if his counterclaims have been legally established or are undisputed or recognized by Eagletunes. Furthermore, the user has a right of retention only if and insofar as his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
      4. If the user is in default with any payment obligations towards Eagletunes, all existing claims become due immediately.
