1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing Amuse (“Amuse”, “we”, “us”, “our”). By signing up to or otherwise using the Amuse service(s), including any platform(s), mobile app(s), website(s), or software application(s) (the “Amuse Service(s)”), you are entering into a binding contract with Amuseio AB, a Swedish based company with registered address at Kammakargatan 48, 111 60 Stockholm, and Swedish registration number 559036-7016.
These subscription & services terms of use (“Subscription Terms of Use”) apply to the Amuse Service(s) and tools you’ll receive access to when buying a Subscription to AMUSE PRO or AMUSE BOOST (jointly referred to as “AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS”), or buy any add-on services or content (“Add-on Services”) as further specified below. Add-on Services include without limitation our service “Store Sync”.
Your agreement with us includes these Subscription Terms of Use, our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy (including any future modifications), together with any supplemental terms that may apply to your interaction with the Amuse Service(s) (collectively the “Agreements”). Please read all documents carefully. By signing up to or otherwise using the Amuse Service(s), you acknowledge that you have read, understood and accepted these Agreements and agree to be bound by them. If you don’t agree to, or cannot otherwise comply with, the Agreements in their entirety, you must not sign up to, access or otherwise use the Amuse Service(s).
All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Terms of Use.
2. SUBSCRIPTION
When paying for a subscription (“Subscription”) to AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS, you do so on a yearly basis. As soon as you have paid for your Subscription and the payment has reached Amuse, your choice of AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS will immediately be activated and available on your Amuse Account.
You can subscribe to AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS through our website or in-app on iOS and Android, by logging in to your Amuse Account or creating one.
Unless otherwise stated, your Subscription will automatically renew for consecutive periods of the same duration as the initial period, and your chosen method of payment will be charged accordingly, until you fail to pay the renewal fee or if you or Amuse terminates or cancels your Account. Should your Subscription not renew, please refer to section 8.2 “Termination” below for further details.
You can at any time downgrade from AMUSE PRO to AMUSE BOOST. If you downgrade from AMUSE PRO to AMUSE BOOST, you will lose access to the AMUSE PRO tools that are not included in the AMUSE BOOST subscription and you will need to select one (1) main artist account, should you have several, as available under AMUSE PRO. The changes will, however, not take place until your current Subscription ends.
To unsubscribe, you must do this on the platform you used to subscribe to AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS. Meaning, if you subscribed through the website, you manage your Subscription and unsubscribe through the website. If you have subscribed through iOS or Android (in-app purchase), you manage your Subscription and unsubscribe through your iOS or Android app store account. When you have unsubscribed, you’ll be given an end date to when your subscription ends. When your Subscription has ended, you will no longer have access to the AMUSE SUBSCRIPTION tools. Please refer to section 8.2 “Termination” below for further details.
3. PAYMENT
Depending on the platform you use to buy a Subscription to AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS or any Add-on Services, different terms apply.
When buying in-app on your Android phone, Google Play Store terms and conditions apply to your payment in addition to these Subscription Terms of Use.
When buying in-app on your iPhone, Apple Store terms and conditions apply to your payment in addition to these Subscription Terms of Use.
If you make your payment through the Amuse website, the terms and conditions of the payment provider Adyen apply, however in addition to these Subscription Terms of Use.
When the payment is made you’ll receive a confirmation of your payment. When the payment has been approved by the payment provider, the AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS service or Add-on Services you have chosen will be made available to you.
If your card has expired or if any of the information needed to make a renewal payment is wrong, you’ll have a grace period (“Grace Period”), subject to Amuse’s sole discretion, where we will retry payment every day for fourteen (14) days, before we terminate your access to AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS. During the Grace Period, you’ll still have access to the AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS tools, but you will, however, pay retroactively for the Grace Period once a payment is successful.
After the Grace Period and unless your Subscription has renewed, you’ll no longer be able to access the AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS tools. You may also lose access to Add-on Services. Please refer to section 8.2 “Termination” below for further details.
4. PRICING
You’ll find the pricing for AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS and Add-on Services in the app or on the Website. We reserve the right to change the pricing at any time. If we change the price of AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS or Add-on Services, such change will apply to future payment(s) (if any). It will not apply to the period already paid for. We will notify you in advance, giving you time to cancel future automatic renewals of your Subscription (and/or Add-on Services, if such Add-on Services automatically renew).
5. AMUSE PRO
5.1 ROYALTY SPLITS & MULTI-ARTIST ACCOUNTS
With AMUSE PRO, you can create multiple artist profiles. You can also invite other users, both from the Amuse platform as well as persons outside of the Amuse platform. The invite will be sent to the email address and/or phone number you have provided of the person you want to invite. The person must accept the invite and create an Amuse Account in order to get access to the artist profile. An existing user must pay for an AMUSE PRO Subscription in order to access more than one artist profile.
With AMUSE PRO, you can split earnings for a Recording with other Amuse users. You can also receive royalty splits from other users’ Recordings. Any receiver of a split who is not paying for a Subscription to AMUSE PRO or BOOST will pay a Split Commission from their share of the earnings.
AMUSE PRO allows you to add and edit Royalty splits for new and previously released Recordings. Once new Royalty splits are submitted, the invited users must accept and confirm the invites before any Royalty splits can take effect. Royalty splits submitted will take effect on Royalties reported from the same month the splits were confirmed. Should you have submitted Royalty splits for a new Recording, all Royalty splits must be confirmed on the day the Recording is released. Should there be any unconfirmed splits, the unconfirmed split will be reverted and assigned to the user who is the owner of the Recording on the Amuse Account.
5.2 FAST LANE RELEASE
If you have an active AMUSE PRO Subscription or Pro trial when submitting Recordings for release, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure that your release is checked and delivered to Stores within three (3) working days (or such longer timeframe of your choosing) of your delivery to us of full, accurate and complete release information, metadata and assets required by us, and our approval of the same. However, any failure by us to comply with such timeframe will not be deemed a breach of these Subscription Terms of Use.
We will inform you should your release not be approved. Any release submitted prior to your Subscription or trial of Amuse PRO will not receive PRO fast lane access. Each Store determines the delivery time for the distribution of your Recordings. We do not assume liability for the delivery times of the Stores. During, for example, the holidays, we will do our best to notify you in advance of the extended delivery times of the Stores.
5.3 PRIORITY SUPPORT
Amuse will use reasonable efforts to ensure that you receive a response from our support team within one (1) working day from when the original support ticket was created. It’s important that when you do contact support, you do so in the support form provided, together with all applicable and asked for information Amuse needs to help you. You must use the email address connected with your AMUSE PRO account to contact our support team, otherwise priority support will not apply. This service does not guarantee a solution within one (1) working day. We will, however, always do our best to help you find a solution to your problem as soon as reasonably possible.

AMUSE BOOST allows you to add and edit Royalty splits for new and previously released Recordings. Once new Royalty splits are submitted, all invited users must accept and confirm the invites before any Royalty splits can take effect.

7. ADD-ON SERVICES
7.1 GENERAL
When you are a subscriber to AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS, Amuse may in its sole discretion offer you certain Add-on Services for purchase. Such services may be accessible through our website and/or in-app on iOS and Android (as determined by Amuse at its own discretion), by logging in to your Amuse Account. You agree that as soon as you have paid for an Add-on Service and the payment has reached Amuse, the Add-on Service will immediately be made available to you via your Amuse Account, unless otherwise expressly stated.
7.2 STORE SYNC
Store Sync is an Add-On Service that enables you to have a release automatically delivered to new Stores. Store sync is available only if you have an active AMUSE SUBSCRIPTION and is offered for a one-time fee per release. Store Sync is not available for releases that we have not yet approved for release to Stores. You may only purchase Store Sync for releases uploaded via your Amuse Account. Amuse determines in its sole discretion which Stores to include under Store Sync and reserves the right to exclude any Stores for any reason. Such excluded Stores may include without limitation Stores that are part of an exclusive offering and Stores that are made available subject to additional payment.
Store Sync will be activated immediately upon purchase, for the specific release it is purchased for. Amuse and the Stores determine in their sole discretion when to add new Stores and when such Recording(s) are to be delivered to new Stores. If your AMUSE SUBSCRIPTION expires or terminates for any reason, you may lose access to Store Sync.
Store Sync is made available subject to the terms and conditions of each store as well as the Agreements. You agree to not purchase Store Sync for any Release(s) that violate the terms and conditions of Stores and/or the Agreements and that you may lose access to the tool for such release or any release in the case of breach. Amuse makes no guarantees in regards to Store Sync and reserves the right to not deliver Release(s) to Stores including without limitation if we, in our sole discretion, determine that such Release(s), or the delivery thereof, would violate the terms and conditions of Stores, the Agreements or any applicable law. Amuse accepts no liability in connection with Store Sync including without limitation if your Recording(s), Material(s) or Metadata are not made available in a particular store or if they are removed from any Stores for any reason whatsoever.
8. GENERAL
8.1 TERM
The term (“Term”) of the Subscription Terms of Use will commence on the earlier of a) the date of payment; or b) the date of accessing AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS or Add-on Services (“Effective Date”) and continue until terminated or canceled in accordance with the Subscription Terms of Use or Terms of Use.
Amuse may, in its sole discretion, at any time during the Term, terminate your Account and/or Subscription including your access to Add-on Services if Amuse deems that your use of the Amuse Service(s), your Recordings or other content violate the Agreements, including but not limited to, uploading copyright infringed content, engaging in any illegal, forced, manipulated or fraudulent activity or if we reasonably believe that payment was made fraudulently.
8.2 TERMINATION
If you cancel your Subscription or if you do not pay the renewal fee and your Subscription expires, you will be charged a 25% commission (“Commission”). The Commission will be applied to Royalties generated during any full month without an active Subscription regardless of when such Royalties are actually accounted to you. You will no longer have access to the AMUSE SUBSCRIPTION tools or be able to release new Recordings or Materials through the Amuse Service(s) or make changes to existing Recordings and Materials. You may also lose access to and no longer be able to benefit from Add-on Services.
If you are receiving a royalty split and you do not have an active Subscription, you will also be charged the Split Commission on your share of earnings from the applicable Recordings. The Split Commission will be withheld on Royalties, after the deduction of the Commission, earned from the period not subscribed to. Should you start paying for a Subscription, you will not pay the Split Commission on your earnings during your Subscription Term.
If (and for so long as) you do not have an AMUSE PRO Subscription, any part of your Royalties, after the deduction of the Commission, received via Youtube Content ID shall be subject to a Content ID Commission. Any earnings subject to a Split Commission will not be charged with the Content ID Commission. You can re-subscribe at any time, and the Commission will not be charged from the first day of the calendar month in which we receive your payment.
Should any fraudulent, illegal or unlawful behaviour in regards to your payment be detected, Amuse reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, immediately close down your account and take down any and all Recordings and Materials. There will not be a Grace Period should you or Amuse terminate or cancel your Account, Subscription or Add-on Services.
Amuse also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine if you, your use of the Amuse Service(s) or your Recordings have breached any section of the Agreements. If we find that a breach has occurred, we take such and any action we deem appropriate. We might, but are not limited to, temporarily or permanently disable or block your Account and remove any and all Recordings and/or Materials uploaded through the Amuse Service(s), withhold any Royalties attributable as well as freeze your Account and remove your access to Add-on Services, without notifying you. Should your Account be frozen, Amuse will cancel your Subscription immediately and no renewal fee will be withdrawn from you.
8.3 REFUNDS
You agree and specifically request that any goods or services which you purchase through Amuse will be provided immediately upon purchase and that you, unless expressly stated herein, will not have the right to withdraw from or obtain a refund for your purchase.Only when you a) purchase AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS or Store Sync; and b) provided that such service has not been purchased in-app on iOS, you have the right to withdraw from such purchase without any specific reason, as long as you do so within 14 days from the purchase, by providing us a clear request to exercise this right. When sending such a request, you shall provide your name, the email linked to your Amuse Account, the date of purchase as well as any other relevant information. Alternatively, you can use our standard withdrawal form, which you find here. You can send your request to refundrequest@amuse.io. Any refund will be paid out via the same method of payment that you used for the purchase. Amuse reserves the right to charge you for the part of the service that has already been provided to you prior to your exercise of the right to withdrawal, as determined by Amuse in its sole discretion. Such charge may be deducted from the refundable amount prior to payment. If you have made an in-app purchase via iOS, please note that your right of withdrawal and obtaining a refund is determined at Apple's sole discretion. Any request to exercise such a right must be issued directly to Apple. See more information here. If you withdraw from a purchase made in-app via iOS, please make sure to also cancel your subscription with us. See more information here.
Notwithstanding the above, you specifically agree that your right of withdrawal does not apply to renewals of existing AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS and that Amuse has the right to charge you automatically for renewals. You further agree that if you have received AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS free of charge, including without limitation as part of a trial offering, Amuse has a right to charge you automatically for such subscription once the free period ends, provided that you have not cancelled it before it ends. If you have received AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS free of charge, the 14-day time frame referred to above starts when you first obtain access to the applicable subscription. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you agree that you are not entitled to a refund if we terminate your Amuse Account, AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS or Add-on Services due to your breach of the Agreements (as determined in our sole discretion).
Amuse may, in its sole discretion, allow you to withdraw from a purchase if Amuse is in direct violation/breach of these Subscription Terms of Use.
We are in no way liable or responsible for any third party failures.
