Artist Agreement

This Artist Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between AudToro LLC, operator of AudToro (“Platform”), and the individual or entity registering as an Artist or otherwise booking services or purchasing licenses as a Client (“Artist”). By creating an Artist account or completing a booking or beat purchase, you agree to the terms below.

1. Role of the Platform

The Platform operates a marketplace connecting Artists with independent Producers. The Platform is a neutral intermediary and is not a party to studio sessions, creative collaborations, or beat licenses granted by Producers. We do not supervise, direct, or control Producer services, and we do not guarantee creative or commercial outcomes.

2. Account Accuracy

You agree to provide accurate account information and keep it current. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Platform. The Platform may suspend accounts for inaccurate information or misuse.

3. Bookings & Payments

When you book a service, you enter into a transaction with the Producer. AudToro LLC facilitates booking and may process payment on behalf of the parties through Stripe. You agree to pay the amounts shown at checkout, which include the Producer’s listed price plus a 3% payment fee retained by the Platform.

If you cancel a booking after payment or authorization, refunds follow the timing tiers in the Terms of Service (Section 5): a full refund or release if you cancel 48 hours or more before the session; a 50% charge or retention if you cancel between 24 and 48 hours before the session; and no refund if you cancel less than 24 hours before the session or after it starts.

4. Beat & License Purchases

Beat licenses are granted by the Producer under the license terms shown at checkout. Those terms are recorded at the time of payment and are not edited after sale. You receive the listed deliverable and license snapshot for a paid purchase. Downloads may be revoked if the payment is refunded or disputed.

You may not resell the standalone beat or stems, or represent that you created the Producer’s underlying master, unless the accepted license expressly allows it.

5. Reviews & Content

Reviews and messages you submit must be truthful and not defamatory. You grant the Platform a license to display your content as needed to operate the service.

6. Sessions, Safety & Conduct

You are responsible for your safety when attending in-person or remote sessions. Follow studio rules and applicable laws. Report concerns or violations through the channels we provide.

You agree not to bypass the Platform to avoid fees, harass other users, or use bookings or purchases for unlawful purposes.

7. Chargebacks & Disputes

Contact the Platform and the Producer in good faith before initiating a chargeback for a completed booking or paid license. The Platform may review disputes and issue discretionary outcomes, including refunds or account actions.

8. Limitation of Liability

The Platform is not liable for session outcomes, equipment failures, scheduling issues, license disputes between you and a Producer, or loss of recordings or business opportunities.

9. Indemnification

Artist agrees to indemnify the Platform from claims related to sessions you attend, content you submit, use of purchased licenses, legal violations, or breaches of this Agreement.

10. Term & Termination

This Agreement remains active while you have an account or an outstanding booking or purchase. The Platform may suspend or terminate accounts for violations, fraud, or repeated complaints.

11. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Alabama.

12. Amendments

We may update this Agreement at any time. Continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance.
