Effective Date: 18 July 2018

At Go To Hear we recognise that terms and conditions can be long and complicated, and so here are the things we thought you’d like to know up front and in plain English:

1. Am I signing away the rights to my music?

• NO. The only rights we ask for are the ones we need to run the service.
• The right to host the music you upload, stream it and list it for sale.
• The right to display whatever lyrics and artwork you put on the site.
• The right for members to share and promote your music. For example; you agree to a platform member creating a blog post about you, a track or an album release on their Go To Hear page to; drive traffic, increase your exposure and potential music sales.

2. Can I upload covers?

• NO – you MUST own and control the rights to anything you upload.
• Do not upload cover songs unless you have obtained ALL permissions and authorizations in writing!

3. What does it mean – ‘enable Company to Exploit your Music’?

• In the context of legal terminology, the word ‘exploit’ means to use, and so in layman’s terms the meaning is ‘enable Company to use your music’. Go To Hear is 100% about fair play and delivering a platform to better enable musicians to monetize their fan base and promote and sell their music.

4. How will you use the music I upload for the Go To Hear MVP?

• When you upload your music for the Go To Hear MVP, you agree to it being used for promotional purposes for both the site and yourself.
• NOTE: The Go To Hear platform is in development. Musicians may submit music tracks for the purpose of marketing and promoting the Go To Hear platform. These initial music offerings will be provided for free for use on the Go To Hear Minimum Viable Product without remuneration to the artist. (MVP – a product with just enough features to provide feedback for future product development). By submitting your music, you enter into an agreement with Go To Hear and authorize Company to use your music to promote the Go To Hear platform. The benefit to you is as we promote the platform we are also promoting your music.

5. Do I have the right to remove my music from the Go To Hear site?

• YES, you can remove your music at any time – you own the rights!

6. Will my personal information be re-sold to a third-party advertiser? 

• NO, the personal information we collect is solely for the purposes of Go To Hear and the user experience.

Platform Purchases

Go To Hear facilitates payments for purchases of content including Digital Content made available via download and streaming through the Service (“Digital Content”) and physical merchandise (“Merchandise”). Each such purchase is a “Transaction,” each Transaction involving Digital Content is a “Digital Transaction,”, and each Transaction involving Merchandise is a “Merchandise Transaction.”

Fees and Payments – Fans.

You may purchase products and/or services from an Artist through the Site, including, without limitation, purchases of Content including Digital Content and Merchandise.

All inquiries regarding Merchandise Transactions will be directed to the relevant Artist. Company is not responsible for refunds and fulfilment for Merchandise, except as provided in this Agreement.

All sales of Digital Content are final (except where prohibited by law), unless otherwise determined by Go To Hear. If you do not receive the Digital Content or otherwise have an issue with the Digital Content delivered, please contact Go To Hear. with your request and proof of payment, and we will notify the relevant Artist and work with them to resolve your issue. At Go To Hear’s sole discretion, you may be credited or refunded for the Digital Content. However, you understand and agree that Go To Hear is a platform that Artists use to promote and sell their products, and the Digital Content is derived from files provided by the relevant Artist, and the relevant Artist is solely responsible for such files.

Your total price for Digital Content will include the price of the product plus any applicable sales tax; such sales tax is based on your location and the sales tax rate in effect at the time you purchase the product. We will charge tax only in states or countries where digital goods are taxable.

Content you purchase in a Transaction cannot be guaranteed to be available to you perpetually. For example, if we receive a notification of claimed infringement from a copyright owner or its agent with respect to specific Content, then relevant law may require us to remove that Content from the Service and not make it available for future sale and we may also have to deny continued access to anyone who previously purchased such Content. This means that you may lose access to purchased Content previously available to you through the Service.

If we are required by law to deny access through the Service to previously purchased Content, including by removing access to Content from a user’s personal collection through any mobile application, then Company and Artists will not provide the user who purchased that Content with a refund, except as required by applicable law. Users bear all risk from the denial of access to any Content purchased through the Service.

You warrant that if you enter into a Transaction, then you shall be able to make full and immediate payment for the requested products or services.

Fees and Payments – Artists.

You will set the prices for your products and services that are charged through Transactions (the “Prices”) through the Site, and you may change the Prices at your sole discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Go To Hear may redistribute previously purchased copies of your products to users who have, in Go To Hear’s sole determination, received a corrupted copy of your product, an incorrect file format version of your product, an incomplete copy of your product, or suffered a loss of your product through hard drive failure, damage, theft or destruction, on a no-fee basis to the user (i.e., the user is not charged a new fee for the redistribution). Such redistribution may be effectuated by allowing a user to redownload a replacement copy themselves. A user that has a Fan Account will also be permitted to redownload any previously purchased Content from an Artist. In the event of any of the foregoing redistributions, no additional payments shall be made to you for such redistributions.

Company shall be entitled to a share of the revenue you receive from Transactions (the “Revenue Share”). On all sales/transactions our fees will comprise an amount to cover payment processing costs – usually between 4% and 6% depending upon the payment gateway used and our revenue fee of 5% – not including any Transactions for which you or we provide a refund. We reserve the right to change our fees at any time.

Go To Hear may withhold any taxes, duties, charges or levies on payments by Go To Hear to you pursuant to this Agreement as may be required by applicable law, rule or regulation. Go To Hear shall remit any such withheld taxes, duties, charges or levies to the appropriate tax authority.

For Merchandise Transactions using Standard Payments, payments received from users for Merchandise shall be directed to you, unless there is an outstanding Revenue Share owed to Company in which case such payments may be directed to Company in accordance with Company’s standard policies. Go To Hear may retain funds otherwise payable to you if Go To Hear is required or chooses to provide a refund on your behalf.

For Digital Content and Merchandise Transactions using Enhanced Payments, Go To Hear will collect the purchase price and any applicable Fees and taxes. Go To Hear will pay you the gross proceeds we receive from the sale of Digital Content, minus the applicable Revenue Share and any applicable Fees (the “Artist Payout”).

When you receive a payment for Digital Content or Artist Subscription, you are liable to Go To Hear for the full amount of the payment sent to you plus any Fees if the payment is later invalidated for any reason. This means that, in addition to any other liability, you will be responsible for the amount of the payment sent by the sender, plus the applicable Fees if there is a chargeback, a dispute, or if there is a reversal of the payment. You agree to allow Go To Hear to recover any amounts due to Go To Hear by debiting your account or withholding any Artist Payout or Subscription Fee. If there are insufficient funds to cover your liability, you agree to reimburse Go To Hear through other means.

Company retains the right, but does not have the obligation, to immediately halt the offering or sale of any goods or services, prevent or restrict access to the Site or the Services or take any other action in case of technical problems, objectionable material, inaccurate listings, or actions otherwise prohibited by the procedures and guidelines contained on the Site, or for any other reason in the sole and absolute discretion of Company, and to correct any inaccurate listing or technical problems on the Site.
