General Terms and Conditions
1 General Information and Scope of these General Terms and Conditions
1.1 TALENTIR operates a platform with the main purpose of sharing and monetizing artist's or label's contents ("TALENTIR PLATFORM"). The general terms and conditions herein ("TALENTIR GTC") govern the contractual relationship regarding the use of the TALENTIR PLATFORM and TALENTIR's services between TALENTIR and the user of the TALENTIR PLATFORM ("CUSTOMER").
1.2 TALENTIR provides for CUSTOMERS the opportunity to invest in a video uploaded to specific host-providers and offered through the TALENTIR PLATFORM ("CONTENT") and to participate in the revenue stream of this CONTENT ("CONTENT REVENUE"). The revenue stream consists of e.g. (i) revenues for advertising, (ii) revenues out of host-provider's premium subscriptions and (iii) additional monetarisation such as e.g. donations of fans and (iv) viewer revenues ("REVENUE STREAM").
1.3 To participate in the REVENUE STREAM, the CUSTOMER has to buy a semi-fungible token ("SFT") created for the CONTENT the CUSTOMER wants to invest in. For every CONTENT one SFT will be created, but these SFT can be split in up to 1000000 parts; each representing a proportionate share in the REVENUE STREAM. The CUSTOMER's contractual partner for the acquisition of the SFT or parts thereof is not TALENTIR, but the label or artist named when acquiring the (part of a) SFT.
1.4 A CUSTOMER in possession of a wallet to which one or more parts of a SFT is/are assigned is called "SFT Holder".
1.5 The more parts of a SFT the CUSTOMER acquires, the higher the participation in the REVENUE STREAM.
1.6 The TALENTIR PLATFORM and services are not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18 ("Minors"). By using the TALENTIR PLATFORM and services, the CUSTOMER represents and warrants that they are not a Minor and that they have the legal capacity to enter into and form binding contracts under applicable laws. TALENTIR will not knowingly collect or solicit any information from Minors or allow them to register an account. If TALENTIR becomes aware that a Minor has provided us with personal information, we reserve the right to delete such information and terminate the Minor's account.
