Welcome to Music Traveler!

We, Music Traveler GmbH, and our subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide (collectively, "Music Traveler" or "we" or "us" or "our", as applicable) provide an online Platform (as defined below) that connects hosts ("Hosts") who have premises, rooms or space (collectively, "Music Space") and/or musical instruments and equipment ("Music Instruments" or "Music Equipment," as applicable), with users ("Users") seeking to book such Music Space and/or Music Instruments and/or Music Equipment to use for music practice, music performance, music concerts or music events (collectively, the "Services"), which Services are accessible through our website(s) and/or webpage(s) and/or mobile application(s) and/or other social network platform(s) (collectively, the "Platform"). In these Terms and Conditions (the "Terms"), Music Traveler and the Host are, where applicable, collectively referred to as, the "Parties" and each, as a "Party".

These Terms constitute a binding contractual agreement between you and us, and govern your access to and use of the Platform, its contents (the "Contents") and the Services.

By using the Platform, you agree to comply with and be legally bound by the Terms, whether or not you become a registered User or Host of the Services under the Platform.

Please read these terms carefully. Please also read carefully our Privacy Policy which is incorporated herein by this reference. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of these Terms and the Privacy Policy, the provisions of these Terms shall control and govern.

Please note that we may, at our sole discretion, modify or revise our Terms at any time by updating the text of this page, including in relation to applicable fees, without notice to you, and you are bound by any such modification or revision. You should therefore visit this page periodically to review our Terms. Your continued access, use and/or browsing on this Platform following the posting of changes to the Terms means you accept those modifications or revisions.

THESE TERMS CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

IN PARTICULAR, HOSTS SHOULD UNDERSTAND HOW THE LAWS WORK IN THEIR RESPECTIVE REGION OR TERRITORY. IN MANY REGIONS OR TERRITORIES, HOSTS MUST REGISTER, GET A PERMIT, OR OBTAIN A LICENSE BEFORE LISTING A MUSIC SPACE AND/OR MUSIC INSTRUMENT AND/OR MUSIC EQUIPMENT, OR ACCEPTING USERS. HOSTS SHOULD REVIEW THEIR LOCAL LAWS BEFORE LISTING A SPACE ON MUSIC TRAVELER.

USERS MUST BE HOLDERS OF A PROPER INSURANCE WHICH COVERS POTENTIAL DAMAGES IN MUSIC SPACES AND, WHERE APPLICABLE, MUSIC INSTRUMENTS AND/OR MUSIC EQUIPMENT.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you have no right to obtain information from or otherwise continue using the Platform, its Contents and the Services, and must exit immediately. Failure to use the Platform in accordance with these Terms may subject you to civil and criminal penalties.

Certain areas of the Platform (and your access to or use of certain aspects of the Services) may have different terms and conditions, standards, guidelines, or policies posted or may require you to agree with and accept additional terms and conditions. Unless otherwise stated under these Terms, in the event of a conflict between these Terms and terms and conditions posted for a specific area of the Platform, the latter terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to your use of or access to that area of the Platform.

Please note that for Users in the European Union and the United Kingdom, a new legislation called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes effect on May 25, 2018.

For such Users, our GDPR Compliance Policy shall apply as an extension of our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, and is incorporated in these Policies by this reference. In the event of any contradiction between our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and our GDPR Compliance Policy, our GDPR Compliance Policy shall prevail to the extent of such inconsistency.

This no refund policy shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate your usage, Music Traveler's decision to terminate your usage, disruption caused to our Platform, its Contents and Services, or the Music Space(s), whether planned, accidental or intentional, or any reason whatsoever.

Currently, Music Traveler charges Hosts a transaction fee equal to the greater of 1€ per hour for the duration of the applicable User's stay or ten percent (10%) of any fees that Users are charged in relation to the Booking and/or use of the applicable Host’s Music Space.

You do hereby consent to such excess time charges and to such overage charge.

Music Traveler, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different rates to any of our Hosts and Users. These promotional offers, unless made to you, shall have no bearing whatsoever on your offer or contract. Music Traveler may change the fees for our Platform, its Contents and Services, or the Music Spaces or other applications, as we deem necessary.

In the event that a Host claims otherwise and provides evidence of damage ("Damage Claim"), including, but not limited to, photographs, you agree to pay the cost of replacing the damaged items with equivalent items.

Hosts may choose to include security deposits in their listings ("Security Deposits"). Listings may describe whether a Security Deposit is required for the applicable Music Space. Music Traveler will try to address Hosts' requests and claims related to Security Deposits, but Music Traveler is not responsible for administering or accepting any Damage Claims by Hosts related to Security Deposits, and disclaims any and all liability in this regard.

If a Host has a Damage Claim for a confirmed Booking, the Host can seek payment from the User by referring the Damage Claim to Music Traveler. If a Host refers a Damage Claim to Music Traveler, you as a User will be notified of the Damage Claim and given an opportunity to respond. If you as a User agree to pay the Host in connection with a Damage Claim, or if Music Traveler determines, in its sole discretion, that you are responsible for damaging a Music Space and/or Music Instrument and/or Music Equipment, or any personal or other property located at a Music Space, Music Traveler will collect any such costs from you and/or against the Security Deposit.

Music Traveler also reserves the right to otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any avenues available to Music Traveler in situations in which you have been determined, in Music Traveler's sole discretion, to have damaged any Music Space and/or Music Instruments and/or Music Equipment, or any personal or other property located at a Music Space.

Both Users and Hosts agree to cooperate with and assist Music Traveler in good faith, and to provide Music Traveler with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Music Traveler, in connection with any Damage Claims or other complaints or claims made by Hosts or Users, as applicable, relating to Music Spaces and/or Music Instruments and/or Music Equipment, or any personal or other property located at a Music Space (including, without limitation, payment requests made under the Music Traveler Host Guarantee) or with respect to any investigation undertaken by Music Traveler or a representative of Music Traveler regarding use or abuse of the Platform and/or its Contents and/or the Services. If you are a User, upon Music Traveler's reasonable request, and to the extent you are reasonably able to do so, you agree to participate in mediation or similar resolution process with a Host, at no cost to you, which process will be conducted by Music Traveler or a third party selected by Music Traveler or its insurer, with respect to losses for which the Host is requesting payment from Music Traveler under the Music Traveler Host Guarantee.

If you are a User, you understand and agree that Music Traveler may make a claim under your homeowner's, renter's or other insurance policy related to any damage or loss that you may have caused or been responsible for with regards to a Music Space and/or Music Instrument and/or Music Equipment, or any personal or other property located at a Music Space (including, without limitation, amounts paid by Music Traveler under the Music Traveler Host Guarantee). You agree to cooperate with and assist Music Traveler in good faith, and to provide Music Traveler with such information as may be reasonably requested by Music Traveler, in order to make a claim under your homeowner's, renter's or other insurance policy, including, but not limited to, executing documents and taking such further acts as Music Traveler may reasonably request to assist Music Traveler in accomplishing the foregoing.
