Legal
These terms govern the use of CATUZIO, user accounts, artist surfaces, community features and shop purchases. They are a working draft; the final contracting-party model and consumer rights are confirmed after legal review.
Draft, not final
This page is a working draft. Contracting party, merchant-of-record role, artist offers, prices, liability and consumer rights still have to be finalised by a lawyer before public release.
These terms apply to the use of CATUZIO, user accounts, artist surfaces, community features and shop purchases offered by {{ANBIETER_NAME}}.
It is finally specified when CATUZIO itself is the contracting party and when an act or a connected provider becomes the contracting party of the buyer.
The presentation of products on CATUZIO is not a binding offer but an invitation to order. By completing checkout the buyer makes a binding offer to purchase the selected product.
The contract is concluded when we confirm the order or provide the digital content. The order confirmation is sent by email.
For direct sales the act offers its own works and merch and the payment is processed through Stripe Connect. The final version states clearly whether {{ANBIETER_NAME}} acts as merchant of record or whether the act is the direct contracting party of the fan.
The act remains responsible for its own content, works, offers, rights clearance and for the lawful description of the goods or digital services.
Acts who upload works, recordings, products or other content warrant that they hold all the rights required to offer and sell that content on CATUZIO. This covers the rights in the composition and in the sound recording as well as the consent of every contributor.
CATUZIO acts as an intermediary and technical platform. CATUZIO is not the rights holder, gives no rights guarantee of its own and only documents the act declaration and the verification carried out.
If a declaration turns out to be incorrect, the act indemnifies CATUZIO and the buyer against justified third-party claims (contract for the benefit of a third party, section 328 German Civil Code). The act notifies CATUZIO without undue delay if it later joins a collecting society or a publisher.
Before publishing a release the act confirms this rights declaration. The exact wording, the consequences of false declarations and the consumer exceptions are finalised by a lawyer before public release.
All prices are shown in the stated currency including statutory value added tax, unless indicated otherwise. Any delivery costs are shown separately before the order is placed.
Payment is processed through Stripe. The invoice or order documentation is provided electronically.
Digital content is provided after the contract is concluded, regularly through download or activation in the account. Physical merch is shipped to the delivery address provided; delivery times and shipping regions are shown at the product.
The final version states concrete delivery times, shipping regions, partial deliveries and the handling of stock and error cases.
Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal. Details, exceptions for digital content and the model withdrawal form are on the Withdrawal page.
Fan engagement and outreach must stay relationship-led. Spam, deceptive content, pressure, hate, harassment and rights infringements are excluded.
The final version describes sanctions, reporting paths and escalation to owner review.
CATUZIO aims for reliable operation but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability. We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for injury to life, body and health.
Liability rules, warranty, change reservations and termination rights are finalised by a lawyer before public release.
