General and Platform Transaction Description & Delivery and Refund Policies. MusicBAE enables a fan to preview certain Music and Content of Artists on the Site, Service and Platform by viewing such Content and streaming such Music through the Site and then, if desired by the fan, to make a direct gift to such Artists by providing a tip to such Artists through the Site. Once a tip is made to the Artists, then the previewed Music and Content may be then offered or otherwise made available by the Artists as a gift to the fan, if at all, allowing the fan, should they choose to do so, to download the previewed Music and Content in full form from the Platform and otherwise to stream that certain Music and Content through the Platform. There is no obligation on the fan, or any user, to make any gift of a tip to any Artist for any Music or Content in any amount, and, as such, all tips are made by fans and users, if at all, as a knowing, voluntary, irrevocable gift to each of the Artists at each such moment than any such gift is made. Additionally, there is no obligation on a fan or user to actually stream or otherwise download any Music offered by Artists offered as a gift from the Artists after a fan’s gift of a tip to the Artists is made.
All Music and Content from Artists, including without limitation any digital Content made available via download from or streaming through the Platform (whether or not a tip has been made by a fan in conjunction with such streaming or downloading and therefore including without limitation any preview of any such digital Content by way of streaming or otherwise using the Platform is “Digital Content”. Each such gift of a tip by a fan to an Artist in conjunction with any Digital Content is a “Transaction” All Transactions, and any payment of tips resulting
from such Transactions, are made and facilitated by the Company under this Agreement in conjunction with our third-party payment processors which include without limitation Paypal and Stripe.
All Transactions on the Platform, being gifts, are final and irrevocable as soon as they are made (except where or as expressly prohibited by any applicable law), and therefore unless otherwise determined by the Company in their sole and absolute discretion or as otherwise required by any applicable law, if at all, no credits or refunds will be provided by the Company with respect to any Transaction. However, if for any reason you do not receive or cannot access the Digital Content associated with a Transaction or otherwise have an issue with any Digital Content delivered by the Platform, please contact the Company with your request, and we will notify the relevant Artist and work with them to resolve your issue. However, you hereby acknowledge, understand and agree that MusicBAE is primarily a platform that Artists use to solicit the gifts of tips from fans and, where applicable, provide the gift of Digital Content to fans, and therefore all such Digital Content is derived from files provided by each applicable Artist. Accordingly, each applicable Artist is solely responsible for such files and their contents, not the Company.
The total amount of each Transaction will be the amount that you, the fan, chooses to voluntarily tip, if any, which being a gift, is not expected to include any taxes. If a Transaction is determined by any applicable jurisdiction to be subject to any type of sales tax, value added tax, goods and
services tax, or similar direct or indirect tax (collectively, “Sales Tax”), then you agree that we may charge you for any Sales Tax and that you will pay all the fees and Sales Tax you incur as may be applicable. You hereby represent and warrant that if you enter into a Transaction, that you shall be able to make full and immediate payment for each such Transaction, including without limitation any Audio Services provided by the Company as offered through the Platform.
DigitalContent you may receive in a Transaction cannot be guaranteed to be available to you perpetually. For example, an Artist may remove any Digital Content from the Platform at any time without prior notice to you or the Company. In the case that such Digital Content is removed from the Platform by an Artist at any time, you may suddenly lose access to such received Digital Content previously available to you through the Platform. Also, by way of example, if we receive a notification of claimed infringement from a copyright owner or its agent with respect to specific Digital Content, then we may be required by law to temporarily or permanently remove that Digital Content from the Platform and not make it available for future use and we may also have to deny continued access or use to anyone who previously received such Digital Content. This means that you, at any time, may lose access to received Digital Content previously available to you through the Platform.
If we are required by law to deny access through the Platform to previously received Digital Content, including without limitation by removing access to previously received Digital Content from a user’s Username account on the Platform, then Company will not provide the user who previously received that Content with any type of compensation or refund for any gift given to any Artist, except as expressly required by applicable law. Users bear all risk from the denial of access to any Digital Content received through the Platform, and the Company shall have no
liability for any such denial of access to any Digital Content previously received by any user through the Platform .
Because there is a possibility that we may be required to deny you access to previously received Digital Content, we encourage you to promptly download any Digital Content you may have received through the Site to your own devices and machines so that you will retain control and possession of such Digital Content even if we are required to remove the Digital Content from the Platform or the Artist chooses to remove that content from the Platform.

When you receive a payment for a Transaction, you may be liable to the Company or the applicable third-party payment processor for the full Transaction amount, plus any applicable service Fees if the payment is later invalidated for any reason. This means that, in addition to any other liability, you may be responsible for the amount of the gift payment made and sent by a fan, plus the applicable Fees if there is a chargeback, a dispute, or if there is a reversal of the gift payment. You agree to allow the Company to recover any amounts due to the Company by debiting your account or by instructing our third-party payment processors to direct such amounts to us. If there are insufficient funds to cover your liability, you agree to reimburse the Company through other means.
In certain jurisdictions, tax regulations may require that we collect and/or report information about you, your Transactions and/or withhold taxes from any Artist Payout to you. Accordingly, if and as applicable, the Company will report any information to the relevant tax authority and you as required by any applicable law and may withhold any taxes, duties, charges or levies on payouts to you as required by any applicable law. In such a case, the Company shall remit any such withheld taxes, duties, charges or levies to the appropriate tax authority.

A user that has a Username account will also be permitted to re-download any previously received Digital Content from an Artist without fee or charge otherwise without any further gift of a tip to the Artist as the gift of the Digital Content from the Artist to any user has already been made. In the event of any of the foregoing redistributions, no additional payments or other remuneration shall be made to you as an Artist and no solicitation of a gift of a tip for any such re-download or re-distribution of any such Digital Content may be made to any user for any such re-download or re-distribution any such Digital Content.
The Company hereby retains the right, but does not have the obligation, to immediately halt the offering of any Digital Content or any Service on the Site or Platform and may additionally prevent or restrict access to the Site, Service, or Platform or take any other action in case of technical problems, objectionable material, inaccurate listings, or actions otherwise prohibited by these Terms and Conditions of Use or the procedures, guidelines, or terms and conditions otherwise contained on the Site, Service, or the Platform, or for any other reason in the sole and absolute discretion of Company, and to correct any inaccurate listing or technical problems on

Transaction, then both the Artists and fans hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that between Artists and fans the Company is not the agent of either for any purpose. As such, the Company does not have the duty to resolve and will not be involved in resolving any disputes between participants related to or arising out of any such Transaction.
