Terms of Service
1. Scope
These Terms of Service apply to the use of the mobile application "BOUNZ" ("BOUNZ", "we", "us"), available through the Apple App Store. By registering and using the app, you agree to these terms.
2. Services Provided by BOUNZ
BOUNZ facilitates connections between music studios and music creators or users seeking related services. BOUNZ is not a party to any contracts concluded between users and service providers. We merely provide the technical platform for such interactions. We do not verify the legality, quality, or suitability of the services offered and assume no responsibility for the accuracy of information or qualifications provided by service providers.
2a. Responsibility of Service Providers
Service providers (e.g. studio operators, producers, songwriters) offering paid services via BOUNZ are solely responsible for complying with all applicable legal requirements regarding their business activities. This includes, in particular:
- registering a business with local authorities (if the activity is not classified as freelance under German tax law),
- fulfilling tax obligations,
- and paying income or value-added tax where applicable.
BOUNZ does not assume responsibility for the legal classification or proper registration of services offered by providers. We reserve the right to request proof of compliance (e.g. business registration or tax ID) in individual cases or on a random basis. By registering, providers confirm that their activities are lawful.
3. Registration
To use the app, you must register via mobile number verification. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential.
4. Subscriptions and Payment
Certain features are only available through a paid subscription. Payment is processed exclusively via the Apple App Store and is subject to the terms and conditions of the respective app store.
5. Disclaimer for Third-Party Agreements
BOUNZ is not responsible for the conclusion, quality, or execution of appointments or contracts between users and service providers. Any contractual relationship is formed solely between those parties.
5a. No Intermediation Under §§ 652 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB)
BOUNZ does not act as a commercial intermediary in the legal sense. We only provide the technical infrastructure through which providers and users can independently conclude contracts. BOUNZ is entitled to remuneration solely within the scope of app functionalities and not in connection with any external service contracts concluded via the app.
6. User Obligations
You agree not to distribute unlawful content or misuse the app. In case of violations, we reserve the right to suspend or delete your account. You may not use BOUNZ for illegal, unregistered, or tax-evading business activities. If we become aware of such misuse, we reserve the right to block content and accounts.
6a. Obligations of Service Providers
Providers must not make misleading or false statements regarding their qualifications, legal status (e.g. business registration), or the services they offer. Violations may lead to suspension from the platform.
7. Liability
We are only liable for intent and gross negligence. In cases of slight negligence, we are only liable for breaches of essential contractual obligations (cardinal duties), and limited to foreseeable, typical damages.
8. Data Protection
The processing of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy and complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
8a. Platform Analysis
BOUNZ reserves the right to analyze usage patterns and booking behavior in pseudonymized form to improve platform quality and detect possible violations of legal or contractual obligations.
9. Applicable Law
German law shall apply. Jurisdiction is Frankfurt am Main, unless a mandatory consumer jurisdiction applies.
