Terms and Conditions

1. Parties and scope

These Terms form an agreement between Tribe Music Group AG, company number CHE-443.757.160, with its registered office at Altgasse 43, CH-6340 Baar, Zug, Switzerland, operating the Dropbeats brand (“Dropbeats”, “we”, “us”), and the person or organisation using the Service (“you”).

The “Service” includes the Dropbeats website, manager workspace, roster and catalogue tools, analytics, connected-engine outputs, Data Rooms, controlled sharing features and related support. A signed order form, subscription agreement or other negotiated contract prevails where it expressly conflicts with these Terms.

2. Accounts and authority

You must provide accurate information, protect your login credentials and promptly tell us about suspected unauthorised access. If you use Dropbeats for an organisation, artist or rights-holder, you confirm that you have authority to do so and to accept these Terms on its behalf.

You are responsible for users invited to your workspace and for permissions, sharing settings and actions taken through their accounts.

3. Your information and permissions

You retain ownership of information, files and other material you submit or connect (“Customer Data”). You grant us the limited rights needed to host, structure, analyse, display and otherwise process Customer Data to operate, secure and improve the Service.

You confirm that you have the necessary rights and lawful basis to provide Customer Data, including royalty statements, contractual information, artist and contributor information, catalogue metadata and personal data. Do not upload material you are not authorised to use or share.

4. Catalogue intelligence and connected services

Dropbeats brings information from different sources into a connected artist and catalogue view. Some information or outputs may come from third-party services, partner engines or customer-selected integrations. Their availability, source data and separate terms may affect the results.

Valuations are estimates, royalty-audit findings are signals for investigation, consumption analytics describe available source data, and contract-related outputs depend on the documents supplied. Outputs may be incomplete, delayed or wrong and must be independently checked before important decisions.

5. No professional or transaction advice

Dropbeats provides software, information organisation and analytical support. It does not provide legal, tax, accounting, investment or financial advice, does not guarantee royalty recovery or a transaction outcome, and does not make decisions for an artist or rights-holder. The artist or authorised rights-holder keeps all decisions concerning ownership, sharing, sales and offers.

6. Data Rooms and sharing

Data Rooms and private presentations help organise and share information with selected recipients. You are responsible for selecting recipients, checking access settings and ensuring that disclosure is permitted. Security controls reduce risk but cannot guarantee that an authorised recipient will not copy or misuse information after receiving access.

7. Acceptable use

You must not use the Service unlawfully; infringe another person’s rights; upload malicious code; bypass access controls; probe or disrupt systems; scrape the Service at scale; misrepresent an output as guaranteed or independently certified; or use another workspace’s information without authority.

We may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect users, data, the Service or third parties, or to comply with law.

8. Fees and changes

Fees, usage limits and payment terms, where applicable, are stated in the relevant order form or subscription. Unless that agreement says otherwise, fees are exclusive of taxes and non-refundable once due.

We may improve, add, change or discontinue features. We will provide reasonable notice where a material change substantially reduces paid functionality, unless urgent security, legal or third-party circumstances make advance notice impracticable.

9. Intellectual property

Dropbeats and its licensors retain all rights in the Service, software, design, documentation, methods and branding. Except for the limited right to use the Service under these Terms, no intellectual-property rights are transferred to you. Feedback may be used to improve the Service without obligation, provided it does not disclose your confidential information.

10. Confidentiality and security

Each party must protect the other party’s non-public confidential information using reasonable care and use it only for the relationship. This obligation does not apply to information that is public without breach, already lawfully known, independently developed or lawfully received from another source.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the Service. No online service is completely secure, and you must maintain appropriate controls over your own devices, accounts, exports and recipients.

11. Data protection

Our Privacy Policy explains processing for which we act as controller. Where we process personal data in Customer Data on your documented instructions, our Data Processing Addendum applies.

12. Warranties and liability

The Service is provided on an “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, we do not warrant uninterrupted availability or that outputs will be complete, current or suitable for a particular transaction.

Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, revenue, opportunity or goodwill, or loss caused by source data, third-party services or a recipient selected by you. Our aggregate liability arising from the Service is limited to the fees paid for the Service during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. These limits do not apply where liability cannot lawfully be limited, including for wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time, subject to any agreed subscription term. We may suspend or terminate access for material breach, unlawful use, non-payment, security risk or where continued provision is no longer reasonably possible. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination remain effective, including confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers and liability limits.

14. Governing law and contact

These Terms are governed by Swiss law, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Subject to mandatory law, the courts of Zug, Switzerland have exclusive jurisdiction.
