General Terms and Conditions (Music2Deal)

These General Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the online platform Music2Deal.com and any related services (together "Music2Deal"), operated by Music2Deal Networks UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Rappstr. 2, 20146 Hamburg, Germany (the "Operator").

Last updated: 1 January 2026. We may revise these Terms from time to time by publishing an updated version on this page. For material changes, we will notify registered Members (e.g. by email or via the platform). Further details are set out in section 10.2.


Preamble

By registering, logging in, or otherwise using Music2Deal.com and/or any of its partner sites, you accept these Terms for using Music2Deal. The user (in the following defined as "MEMBER" (singular) or "MEMBERS" (plural)) enters into this agreement for the use of services provided by the Operator.

Additional contact information is available in the commercial registry data which can be found under the imprint. The names of the authorised representatives of Music2Deal can be found under “Contact” by selecting the corresponding location.

The services provided by Music2Deal are intended exclusively for persons of legal age who are working with music in the broadest sense (i.e. who have something to do with music in a professional way in the broadest sense). The MEMBER can view, print, download and/or save these Terms at any time (also after the agreement has been concluded) under the “Terms & Conditions” link available on Music2Deal pages.


1. Subject Matter

Music2Deal offers registered MEMBERS a business platform on the Internet that connects members with other members and helps them to communicate about their business and business interests, which could include (but are not limited to) their offers and their needs.

Music2Deal merely provides MEMBERS with a platform which helps them establish contact with other MEMBERS and communicate about their offers and needs. Music2Deal only provides technical applications which allow MEMBERS to contact one another.

1.1 With regard to the content or context of communication between MEMBERS, Music2Deal does not participate in such communication and does not monitor it to understand its content.

1.2 If MEMBERS enter into agreements (with or without the knowledge of Music2Deal) with one another over Music2Deal, offsite, or in private, Music2Deal shall not be a contracting party to such agreements. MEMBERS are responsible for the execution and/or fulfilment of agreements they enter into with one another. Music2Deal shall not be held liable if MEMBERS are unable to contact one another over Music2Deal regarding such agreements.

1.3 Furthermore, Music2Deal shall not be liable for breaches of duty in relation to agreements entered into between MEMBERS.

1.4 The MEMBER acknowledges and agrees that it is technically impossible to achieve 100% availability of Music2Deal. Music2Deal shall nonetheless endeavour to keep Music2Deal.com available without interruption. Events related to maintenance, security or capacity requirements, and/or events beyond Music2Deal's control (e.g. disruptions in public communication networks, power failures, etc.) may result in brief malfunctions or temporary interruptions of the services provided on Music2Deal.

1.5 Even when Music2Deal is available, it does not guarantee that the website, or any content on it, will always be available or be uninterrupted.

1.6 Access to the website is permitted on a temporary basis only. Music2Deal may suspend, withdraw, discontinue or change all or any part of the website without notice to the MEMBER.

1.7 Music2Deal will not be liable to the MEMBER if for any reason the website or any of its content is unavailable at any time or for any period.

1.8 The website (Music2Deal.com) may be accessed by any computer device, including mobile and tablet devices. The website is designed and tested with most commonly available modern browsers; however, some features and functionalities may not be compatible with older or certain browser types and/or with certain mobile devices and/or tablets.

1.9 With a membership on Music2Deal, the MEMBER will by default receive a regular newsletter as well as other notifications concerning their membership (e.g. statistics). The MEMBER can unsubscribe from the newsletter by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The MEMBER can also unsubscribe from all notifications on the “Settings” tab on their Music2Deal profile.

1.10 Group moderators on Music2Deal are entitled to choose their members. They may freely choose whether or not a MEMBER may join their group.

1.11 Any use of the services and contents offered on Music2Deal beyond the scope of options/features provided by Music2Deal requires the prior written consent of Music2Deal.

1.12 Music2Deal shall make available to third parties the data and/or information provided by the MEMBER in such manner that the data and/or information does not violate any laws or these Terms.

1.13 Music2Deal is entitled to remove any illegal or prohibited data and/or information from Music2Deal without any prior notice to the MEMBER.


2. Registration

2.1 MEMBERS must register prior to using Music2Deal.

2.2 The MEMBER warrants and represents that all data provided for registration is true, accurate and complete. If an error is detected or circumstances change, the MEMBER shall report such errors or changes in the registration data to Music2Deal without undue delay.

2.3 The MEMBER warrants and represents that he or she is of legal age and working with the music business or music in the broadest sense (i.e. has something to do with music in a professional way within a broad context) at the time of registration.

2.4 The MEMBER shall choose a password upon registration and is obliged to keep it secret. Music2Deal shall not disclose the password to any third party unless specifically required by a legal court order or other legal obligation, or to meet legal compliance requirements.

2.5 By completing the registration process, the MEMBER consents to enter into this agreement to use the services of Music2Deal. Music2Deal accepts this agreement by activating the membership for use of the services on Music2Deal. The agreement takes effect upon activation by Music2Deal.

2.6 Each MEMBER is entitled to register with Music2Deal only once, and the MEMBER may only establish one (1) MEMBER profile.

2.7 It is technically not possible for Music2Deal to determine with certainty whether any MEMBER registered with Music2Deal is in fact the real person that he or she purports to be. Therefore, Music2Deal assumes no liability for the actual identity of a MEMBER. Each MEMBER is solely responsible for cross-checking and doing the required due diligence to verify the identity of another MEMBER he/she wants to communicate with.


3. Memberships, Credits & Payments

3.1 A registered MEMBER will always start with a Basic Membership unless decided otherwise by Music2Deal at its sole discretion. A Basic Membership is free to use; however, it does not allow the MEMBER to use all features of Music2Deal.

3.2 The MEMBER may upgrade to one of the available Premium Memberships. Premium Memberships have different price bands from which the MEMBER can choose as per his/her needs.

3.3 With the Basic Membership, the MEMBER can for free access (and listen to) the music offers and needs uploaded by other members on Music2Deal. The Basic MEMBER can also upload one music offer, up to 10 needs, display their own profile, and communicate with other users.

3.4 A Basic Membership is free whereas Premium Memberships are offered at different price bands which have to be paid with Credits. Credits are comparable to an internal currency which the Music2Deal system uses for ease of application and scalability. The fees and exchange rates for Credits listed under the pages “Prices”, “Upgrade” and “My Account” are binding.

3.5 Fees may be different for each territory. A MEMBER must pay the fees for the territory in which he/she lives and/or is registered from as a location on Music2Deal. A MEMBER cannot pay a different territory's fee and must abide by the fees displayed to them on the system. In case there is no contract for the MEMBER's country, the contract will be effective from the country or area which is responsible for the country where the MEMBER lives. If there is no country in Music2Deal.com responsible for the MEMBER, then the German contract will be effective by default.

3.6 MEMBERS can buy Credits using conventional payment methods such as credit cards or debit cards or online systems as stipulated by Music2Deal from time to time. Music2Deal reserves the right to innovate and apply new payment methods such as cryptocurrency, digital currency, etc., where legally and operationally applicable.

3.7 MEMBERS can also earn Credits by voting for music uploaded by other members, being voted by other members (for music offers uploaded by the members themselves), or by inviting music industry friends to their network on Music2Deal. Registrations of invited music industry friends are accepted by Music2Deal in line with the general criteria of membership acceptance set out in the Music2Deal internal policy on acceptance of members.

3.8 Unused Credits bought or earned by the MEMBER expire 24 months after the date of purchase or earning. The expiry date of Credits is noted on the system and cannot be changed by the MEMBER.

3.9 Credits are non-refundable into other currencies except where Credits are purchased yet remain unused due to an acceptable reason. Such Credits can be refunded within 14 days of the invoice date. All refund requests must be submitted in writing by letter, email or through our contact page, citing an acceptable reason.

3.10 A MEMBER can upgrade or downgrade his/her membership at any time using the tab “My Account” within the MEMBER's profile page. By downgrading to a lower membership, the corresponding purchased or earned Credits will be subtracted from the current Credits of a MEMBER as per the proportionate amount of Credits mentioned.

3.11 There is no fixed term for Basic or Premium Membership plans. A Premium Membership automatically ends if there are not enough Credits. If the MEMBER does not purchase or earn enough Credits to maintain Premium Membership, the Premium Membership becomes a Basic Membership.

3.12 The memberships with their corresponding features and prices can be viewed, printed, downloaded and/or saved at any time under the “Rates” link that appears on Music2Deal pages.

3.13 Invoices will be available to the MEMBER when he/she clicks on “My Account” and then “Payments”. Invoices will be available for a period of one (1) year from the date of invoicing.

  1. Payments for Premium Membership shall be due immediately upon invoicing.
  2. Payment can be made using the available payment methods provided on the platform.

If Music2Deal is unable to collect fees from an account designated by the MEMBER due to lack of funds, the MEMBER shall bear all costs arising from (including but not limited to bank charges) related to any debit entries or similar charges, insofar as the MEMBER is responsible for the event that triggers these costs. In case of transfers from foreign countries, the MEMBER pays the full expenses of the transfer costs.


4. Right of Cancellation

4.1 The MEMBER may cancel registration for the Basic or Premium Membership in writing (e.g. by letter or e-mail) within two (2) weeks without stating a reason. The 2-week period begins when the membership is activated by Music2Deal.

4.2 The MEMBER may cancel registration for the Premium Membership in writing (e.g. by post or e-mail) within two (2) weeks without stating a reason after changing from Basic Membership to Premium Membership. The 2-week period begins when Premium Membership is activated by Music2Deal.

4.3 For meeting the cancellation deadline in each of the above cases, the date of dispatch of the cancellation notice is decisive.

In each of the above cases, the cancellation notice should be sent by post to Music2Deal Networks UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Rappstr. 2, 20146 Hamburg, Germany.

The MEMBER may also deliver notice of cancellation using the contact form available on most Music2Deal pages, or by sending an e-mail to support@music2deal.com.

The MEMBER’s right of termination under section 8 shall not be affected by the MEMBER’s cancellation right under this section 4.

Premature lapse of the right of cancellation

4.4 The MEMBER’s right of cancellation lapses before the end of the cancellation period if Music2Deal has begun performing the Music2Deal services for which the MEMBER is registered with the express consent of the MEMBER, or if the MEMBER has initiated the Music2Deal services for which the MEMBER is registered (e.g. by accessing the services made available in accordance with the type of membership chosen by the MEMBER). In the event of a valid cancellation, both parties shall be obliged to restore any benefits already received in accordance with legal provisions and to surrender any gains (e.g. interest). If the MEMBER is not fully or partially able to restore the benefits, or can only restore them in poor condition, the MEMBER must reimburse Music2Deal for the corresponding value.

4.5 The MEMBER must fulfil obligations for refunding within 30 days after dispatch of the cancellation notice.


5. Extent of Rights

The MEMBER transfers all necessary rights for the fulfilment of this contract to Music2Deal. This includes:

5.2 The right to advertise and “bracket part analysis” (i.e. the authorisation to use parts of the Music2Deal.com presentation, including the use of the name and picture of the title provider, for advertising purposes). The use of music is only possible under the prerequisite of the MEMBER’s agreement.


6. Obligations of the MEMBER

Additionally, the MEMBER shall indemnify and hold harmless Music2Deal from all actions, including damage claims, asserted by other MEMBERS or third parties against Music2Deal resulting from an infringement of their rights regarding the use of the services of Music2Deal by the MEMBER.

8.1 The MEMBER may terminate the Membership at any time without cause. The MEMBER may deliver notice of termination using the contact form available on most Music2Deal pages or by sending an e-mail to support@music2deal.com at any time. The termination notice shall include the MEMBER’s registered name and the e-mail address registered on Music2Deal.

8.2 After the MEMBER has initiated the cancellation process, Music2Deal may ask the MEMBER one last time about the reason for the cancellation.
