Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Bandruption Corp, a Delaware corporation located at 8 The Green B, Dover, DE 19901, United States ("Bandruption", "we", "us", or "our"), governing your access to and use of bandruption.com, bandruption.fun, create.bandruption.fun, bandruption.ai, docs.bandruption.fun, and the Bandruption mobile application (collectively, the "Services").

You must be at least 18 years of age and legally capable of entering into a binding contract to register an account, purchase subscriptions or BANDS, publish artist content, or use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of a band, label, venue, agency, or company, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms. Contractual acceptance of these Terms is distinct from optional cookie or analytics consent.

You are responsible for providing accurate registration details, safeguarding your login credentials, magic links, OAuth/OIDC connections, and API/MCP tokens, and promptly notifying us at hello@bandruption.com of any unauthorized use. Entity administrators are responsible for managing member permissions within artist, music-industry, or enterprise workspaces.

• Full Ownership Retained: As between you and Bandruption, you (and your licensors) retain 100% of all copyrights, master and publishing rights, trademarks, moral rights, and other intellectual property rights in the audio recordings, artwork, videos, event listings, merchandise designs, Top 10 lists, and Bandruption AI prompts and outputs you submit or generate ("User Content").
• Limited Operational License Only: You grant Bandruption a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, revocable operational license solely to host, store, transcode, cache, stream, display, and deliver your User Content as necessary to operate and promote your chosen features within the Services. This license ends when you delete the User Content or your account, subject only to reasonable technical cache/backup purge windows (up to 90 days) and completed fan transaction records.
• Your Rights Warranties & DMCA Takedowns: You represent that you own or hold all necessary rights, clearances, and licenses for any User Content you upload. Copyright owners may send DMCA / copyright infringement notices containing the statutory elements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to Bandruption Corp, Attn: Copyright Agent, 8 The Green B, Dover, DE 19901, United States, or hello@bandruption.com.

The Services offer closed-loop virtual platform utility credits known as "BANDS" to meter and pay for eligible platform features, campaign actions, and Bandruption AI usage:

• Nominal Platform Utility Rate: Within eligible Bandruption checkout and metering flows, 100 BANDS correspond to USD $1.00 of platform purchasing/usage power (subject to published plan rates, such as hosted AI token metering rates).
• Non-Expiring Purchased Packs: Purchased BANDS top-up packs do not expire while your account remains active and in good standing. Promotional, bonus, or subscription-cycle BANDS allowances are governed by the terms of the applicable plan or promotion.
• Closed-Loop Utility Only — Not Money, Crypto, or Securities: BANDS are non-transferable platform utility credits, not cash, legal tender, electronic money, bank deposits, cryptocurrency, digital assets, securities, or investment products. BANDS cannot be withdrawn, redeemed for cash, sold, or transferred between users except where mandatory applicable law requires otherwise.
• Activity Points & Fandom Score: Fan activity points, Proof of Fandom rankings, and leaderboard badges are non-monetary recognition metrics with zero cash or BANDS redemption value.

• Recurring Subscriptions: Paid fan, Music Pro, and Bandruption AI subscriptions renew automatically each billing cycle at the disclosed price plus applicable taxes until cancelled. You may cancel renewal at any time through the billing channel where you subscribed (Bandruption Web Billing, Google Play, or Microsoft Azure Commercial Marketplace); cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.
• Event Tickets, Merchandise & Bounties: Artists and industry organizers are responsible for fulfilling their physical merchandise, live events, and creator bounties accurately. Bandruption facilitates platform checkout and ledger accounting via regulated payment processors (PayPal, KOMOJU, Stripe, Google Play, Azure Marketplace).
• Finality of Purchases & Refund Exceptions: Except where required by mandatory applicable consumer law or applicable app-store billing rules (such as Google Play refund policies), all digital subscription fees, BANDS credit pack purchases, and platform fees are final and non-refundable. Refunds or BANDS re-credits are provided when (a) a ticketed live event is cancelled without rescheduling, or (b) a metered Bandruption AI or agent action fails due to a verified terminal platform execution failure.

Bandruption AI (bandruption.ai) and platform agent workflows generate probabilistic outputs that may contain inaccuracies. Outputs are provided for creative, operational, and informational assistance only and do not constitute legal, financial, tax, accounting, or other regulated professional advice.

Where you connect external accounts (such as X social publishing) or authorize agent actions on your entity workspace, you are responsible for reviewing actions presented under Bandruption’s approval model and ensuring your published campaigns comply with applicable laws and third-party platform terms.

You agree not to misuse the Services. Specifically, you must not:

• Upload content that infringes intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights, or that is unlawful, defamatory, sexually exploitative, or hateful;
• Impersonate any artist, label, fan, or Bandruption representative, or manipulate streaming counts, Fandom Scores, affiliate referrals, or bounty rewards;
• Bypass authentication, rate limits, subscription access controls, BANDS metering, or security controls, or probe, scrape, or reverse-engineer non-open-source components of the Services;
• Use Bandruption AI to generate malware, spam, deceptive impersonations, or unlawful automated harassment.

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time via in-app Account Settings or https://www.bandruption.fun/account-deletion. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially breach these Terms, create fraud or security risk, or expose Bandruption or other users to legal liability. Sections covering IP ownership, payment/ledger finality, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution survive termination.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BANDRUPTION CORP AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, AND OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF USD $100.00 OR THE TOTAL AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO BANDRUPTION IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory statutory consumer-protection law.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Bandruption Corp from third-party claims, damages, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of your User Content, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of applicable law or third-party rights.

Except to the extent pre-empted by US federal law or non-waivable mandatory consumer laws of your country of residence, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

• 30-Day Informal Resolution First: Before initiating arbitration or litigation, you and Bandruption agree to send a written notice describing the dispute and requested relief to hello@bandruption.com (or to your account email) and attempt in good faith to resolve it informally for 30 days.
• Binding Individual AAA Arbitration: If unresolved after 30 days, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (for consumers) or Commercial Arbitration Rules (for business/pro users), seated in New Castle County, Delaware (or conducted remotely / in your home county where AAA Consumer Rules require), except that either party may bring qualifying individual claims in small-claims court or seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual-property infringement or unauthorized system access.
• Class-Action and Jury-Trial Waiver: TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND BANDRUPTION WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Where mandatory local consumer law prohibits pre-dispute arbitration agreements, you retain the statutory forum rights guaranteed by that law.

The authoritative version of these Terms is written in English. Translations into Japanese, Korean, and Spanish are provided for user convenience; if any ambiguity or conflict arises between a translation and the English text, the English text governs except where mandatory local law requires otherwise.

We may update these Terms prospectively by publishing a new dated and hashed version on our websites and notifying users of material changes. Continued use of the Services after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance.
