The purpose of these T&Cs is to define the terms and conditions according to which Fairmus enables you to use certain personalised services with features and functionalities for streaming music and/or accessing content created by various artists which are made available through Fairmus Platform (hereinafter the “Services”). Fairmus permits you to use the Services, i.e. access the Fairmus Platform and stream the content thereof (i.e. listen to uploaded music) only for your own personal, non-commercial use (hereinafter “Permitted Use”).

To be able to access the Services, you are required to either activate a free trial period (hereinafter “Fairmus Trial”) or a paid subscription (hereinafter “Fairmus Subscription”). After the end of Fairmus Trial subscription period, you can continue accessing the Services only on the basis of Fairmus Subscription. Unless you cancel or withdraw from your use of the Services before the end of Fairmus Trial subscription period, Fairmus Trial extends automatically to Fairmus Subscription.

By activating Fairmus Trial or Fairmus Subscription to access the Services through the Fairmus Platform, you confirm that:

You have the power to enter into a binding contract with us and are in no way prohibited from doing so under any applicable laws, and
You will use the Fairmus Subscription in accordance with these T&Cs and applicable legal and/or regulatory provisions.

Fairmus reserves the right to unilaterally modify and update the T&Cs at any time, provided that the modifications and updates are required based on justified reasons (e.g. change in applicable laws, reasonable business interests of Fairmus, improving the existing features, etc.), it being specified that any change relating to the said T&Cs will be published on this page. We will notify you of any material modifications and updates in the T&Cs by sending respective notice to you via your personal user account on the Fairmus Platform or e-mail which you have provided for us.

To activate Fairmus Trial or Fairmus Subscription, you will be required to provide your payment details. By providing payment details you agree that we may begin charging you for the Fairmus Subscription starting from the first day following the end of the Fairmus Trial subscription period, or in case Fairmus Trial is not used, from the first day of activating the Fairmus Subscription, on a recurring monthly basis. The information provided on the Fairmus Platform prior to activating Fairmus Trial or Fairmus Subscription includes information on charging terms and all potential fees applied by Fairmus, as well as the applicable interest rate on late payments. To be able to complete the activation, you are required to provide certain activation data, including your name and e-mail address, and select a password.

By activating the Fairmus Trial or Fairmus Subscription, you accept and agree to these T&Cs which will, from that moment on, become binding to you.

Renewal, cancellation and charging of Fairmus Subscription

Your use of the Services through Fairmus Platform is renewed automatically at the end of each applicable subscription period (7 calendar days for Fairmus Trial, 1 calendar month for Fairmus Subscription, unless specified otherwise). Fairmus Trial subscription period renews automatically to Fairmus Subscription and Fairmus Subscription renews automatically for another subscription period of Fairmus Subscription.

Fairmus will automatically charge you a fee for the Fairmus Subscription each month pursuant to the charging rate indicated on the Fairmus Platform. Fairmus reserves the right to change the charging rate of Fairmus Subscription. Such changes will be notified to you via your personal user account on the Fairmus Platform or e-mail which you have provided for us, and will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the changes, unless specified otherwise. Your continuous use of the Services after the change in charging rate takes effect is considered as acceptance of the changed charging rate. If you do not agree with the change in the charging rate, you have the right to reject the change by exercising your right of cancellation or withdrawal before the change takes effect.

You will be charged each month on the calendar day you activated your Fairmus Subscription, until you exercise your right of cancellation or withdrawal or your Fairmus Subscription is otherwise terminated pursuant to these T&Cs. In such cases, your Fairmus Subscription will not be renewed and Fairmus will not charge you further.

You may cancel your Fairmus Subscription at any time. The cancellation will take effect on the day after the last day of the valid subscription period. Fairmus does not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods.
