Legal Terms
Terms of Service
Last update: March 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By using Tekkin (the Platform), registering, or uploading files, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the services.
2. Service Nature and Data Aggregation
Tekkin provides services for music artists (upload and track management) and acts as a chart aggregator. We collect, index, and display public information from the web or third-party API providers (including platforms like Beatport, Songkick, or Songstats) for informational purposes, within source platform/API terms and applicable law.
We do not claim ownership over third-party trademarks, cover art, or public metadata. All rights remain with their respective owners.
If a source platform, artist, label, or rightsholder requests removal/limitation, we may suspend or remove related aggregated data and integrations.
2-bis. Third-Party Sources, Usage Limits and Liability
Tekkin is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the referenced third-party platforms unless explicitly stated in writing.
If an aggregation feature conflicts with source platform/API terms, Tekkin may limit, disable, or discontinue that integration without prior notice for legal, technical, or compliance reasons.
Aggregated data may be incomplete, delayed, or not real-time and is not an official certification by the source platform.
3. Upload Content and Rights Declaration
By uploading audio, images, or other material, you represent and warrant that you own all required rights or have obtained all necessary written licenses.
Tekkin is not required to pre-screen content and may remove content suspected of infringing copyright or other rights.
3-ter. File Management, Limits and Deletion
Each project can hold a maximum number of uploaded versions depending on your plan (2 on the Free plan, 7 on Artist Pro). Once the limit is reached, you must delete an existing version from the version management panel before uploading a new one.
When you delete a track, version, project, EP, or your account, the associated audio files and images are removed from active storage and are no longer accessible through the Platform.
To protect you against accidental deletion, we internally retain a backup copy of deleted files for 30 days, after which it is permanently and irrecoverably removed. This backup is for internal use only and is not accessible through the Platform; for recovery requests within that window, contact info@tekkin.it.
You are responsible for keeping a copy of your original files outside the Platform before proceeding with any deletion.
3-bis. Identity, Stage Names and Prohibition of Impersonation
By registering, you represent that the name, stage name, image, and materials associated with your profile are legitimately yours, or that you are authorized by the rightful owner to use them on the Platform.
It is prohibited to create or maintain an account that impersonates another real person, artist, label, or entity without authorization, or that uses another person's stage name, image, biography, or materials to create identity confusion. Such conduct may constitute identity theft/impersonation under applicable law and violate the impersonated party's name and image rights.
Tekkin reserves the right to suspend or disable, even as a precautionary measure and without prior notice, any account suspected of impersonation pending verification, and to remove associated content.
If you believe an account on Tekkin is impersonating your identity or stage name, report it to info@tekkin.it with proof of your identity/ownership; the request will be reviewed and, if well-founded, the account will be suspended or removed.
4. Limitation of Liability for Track Theft
Tekkin applies industry-standard security measures (e.g., encrypted communications and temporary URLs for private tracks), but no internet system can guarantee total security.
By uploading original masters and/or making them playable publicly, you accept piracy-related risks. To the extent permitted by law, Tekkin is not liable for leaks, file theft, reverse engineering, or unauthorized third-party downloads.
5. DMCA / Takedown Notice
If you are a rightsholder and believe uploaded or aggregated content infringes your rights, send a formal notice to info@tekkin.it with the legally required evidence.
The notice should include: identification of the disputed content, title/URL, proof of ownership/authority, contact details, and good-faith declaration.
For repeated violations, Tekkin may suspend accounts, content, or related features.
6. Paid Plans and Service Changes
We may modify or temporarily discontinue services and change paid plan features. Refunds are evaluated only for prolonged critical service outages.
7. Subscriptions, Payments and Withdrawal
Artist Pro subscription: EUR 4.99/month with automatic renewal unless canceled.
Immediate digital service supply: by activating, you agree to immediate execution and withdrawal-right limitations where legally applicable.
Cancellation stops future charges but does not refund the already-paid period.
Payments are processed by Stripe; Tekkin does not store card data.
