And the customer
All orders will be exclusively governed by the present terms and conditions of sale, to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions of purchase.
Any order for a product and/or service on this site implies consultation and approval of the general terms and conditions of sale set out below.
Any download from this site implies prior consultation and acceptance of these terms and conditions of sale. Validation of the order implies acceptance of these terms and conditions of sale.
Purpose
Our site offers a service of musical transcriptions by ear and “in the style of”, in MIDI format (.mid). The MIDI music format is a sequence of computer instructions intended for compatible software and hardware. They contain NO audio or graphic data, and therefore cannot be sold as a finalized audio production or musical score.
Audio formats (MP3 and other PCM formats) and PDF formats (music scores) produced from MIDI sequences (.mid) are provided by way of example. It is up to the user to edit the MIDI sequence supplied to suit his or her needs, using compatible software and/or hardware available on the market.
This notion of musical editing is the very principle of the MIDI format (.mid).
Files can be downloaded directly from the site. The immediate availability of files ordered and paid for is not guaranteed. This applies in particular to music marked “PRODUCTION” or “PROD”, whose transcription production is launched at the time the order is placed and requires a production lead time.
They are intended exclusively for the user's private use as a simple accompaniment. The company retains its interpretation and production rights.
Unless authorized, the duplication, rental, lending, exchange and use for public performances and the broadcasting of all our instrumental versions are forbidden, as well as on any telematic service whatsoever. It is furthermore reminded that, by virtue of article L 121-1 of the French Intellectual Property Code, the author enjoys, by virtue of his moral right, “the right to respect for his name, his status and his work”, and that any distribution of a modified version of one of the works reproduced would engage the responsibility of the person making it.
§ 1.1 The Service Provider offers to provide its customers with musical titles in the form of MIDI sequences.
The formats are MF-0 and GM, GS (if available) , XG (if available) and AUDIO MP3 (optional) produced from the MIDI sequence, by samplers and synthesizers in stereo with melody line.
Please note All pre-listenings (play button) are produced in MP3 format (not MIDI) for demonstration purposes and for compatibility with online consultation.
Once the customer has placed an order, he/she orders the selected MIDIFILES in accordance with the contractual conditions set out below. This also applies to orders placed by telephone or conventional mail. Please read these conditions carefully before placing your order.
By ordering the MIDI files offered by the Service Provider, the customer declares that he/she has read and accepted the general terms and conditions.
1.2 The presentations and descriptions of MIDI files on the Internet and in product specifications do not constitute a guarantee of quality. The customer is informed of the technical possibilities and conditions of use of MIDI files. The supplier will provide further technical details on request.
1.3 With regard to musical rights to MIDI files, the supplier pays the royalties due to his suppliers.
§ 2 Scope The business relationship between the supplier and the purchaser is governed exclusively by the following general terms and conditions, as last amended at the time the order was placed. The supplier will not accept different conditions from the purchaser, unless the supplier has expressly agreed in writing to their applicability.
§ Warranty 3.1 The supplier warrants that the MIDI files can be used on all computers/players that support the standard MIDI formats MF-0 and MF-1 and the GM, GS or XG sound formats. Furthermore, the supplier guarantees that the MIDI files originally sent from the supplier's computer to the Internet are free of program faults. The supplier accepts no liability for any transmission faults on the Internet.
3.2 The Provider does not guarantee that the texts supplied with MIDI files and the lyrics embedded in them are correct or error-free, as this is a free additional service provided by the Provider.
3.3 The supplier may give a guarantee by means of a subsequent improvement. This may be done, at the Provider's discretion, by supplying new files or by reworking existing files. If, after several attempts, the subsequent improvement fails definitively and clearly despite the setting of an appropriate deadline in writing, the customer has the right to reduce the price or to withdraw from the contract. Article 9 applies to claims for damages.
§ 4 Rights of use
4.1 The customer is granted a non-exclusive right of use of the MIDI files, unlimited in time, according to the scale described below. Between the contracting parties, any rights of use not explicitly mentioned remain with the supplier.
4.2 The customer is entitled to use the MIDI files on any technically suitable computer/player. However, MIDI files may only be used by a single person on a single computer/player at any time, and never simultaneously on two or more computers/players, either by the same customer or by different persons. The right of use applies solely to the original recording of the downloaded/supplied MIDI files. The customer may produce a backup copy of the MIDI files, which may not be used at the same time as the original data.
4.3 Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the supplier, the customer may not use, reproduce or distribute the MIDI files in any way other than that technically described in § 4.2 ;
- rent the MIDI files, use them jointly with third parties or in any other way permit their use by third parties;
- reproduce and distribute modified versions and arrangements produced by the customer (including film music and multimedia works);
- alter or delete copyright and other reserved rights notices, serial numbers or other data-identifying features contained in the data;
- transmit MIDI files to third parties, unless the customer ceases to use the files with final effect, without retaining a copy.
4.4 The Service Provider explicitly draws the customer's attention to the fact that the uses listed below must be declared and paid to SACEM and/or require the approval of the respective holders of the rights to the musical titles
performing, broadcasting, publicly reciting the musical titles or otherwise making them accessible to third parties ;
the production, performance, broadcast or public recitation of modified versions and arrangements thereof (including film music, multimedia works, etc.).
4.5 If the customer's use of the MIDI files does not comply with the requirements for rights of use, and the supplier's protected rights are thereby infringed, the supplier is entitled to charge double the price of the MIDI files concerned as minimum damages, without having to provide evidence. Further claims for damages are not excluded.
§ 5.1 In the case of online distribution, payment of remuneration by the customer is made to the customer's account or by credit card.
5.2 Pending settlement of all claims of the supplier against the customer, the granting of rights of use is subject to the condition that all such claims are satisfied in full. The supplier may revoke the rights of use if the customer is in arrears with payment, does not pay even after receipt of a written warning indicating the intention to revoke, or if the customer does not comply with the conditions of use (§ 4).
5.3 All discounts granted on the basis of the agreed quantity to be purchased lapse and are again determined on the basis of the quantity actually purchased at the time of closure of the customer account.
§ 6 Online access data 6.1 It is the customer's responsibility to prevent unauthorized third parties from accessing his/her personal online access data (user name and password).
6.2 The customer is obliged to inform the supplier immediately in the event of loss of personal access data or if a third party is able to misuse the customer account. Upon receipt of the report of loss, the supplier will promptly block the customer account. Until such time as the loss report is received, the supplier is not liable for unauthorized requests for MIDI files and corresponding debits to the customer account. If such third parties order additional MIDI files during the period between receipt of the loss notification and the blocking of the customer account, the customer shall bear the resulting costs up to an amount of EUR 50.00 (loss lump sum). The supplier may also invoice the customer for the costs of processing the loss report up to the amount of the flat-rate loss fee.
§ 7 Data protection Personal data acquired by the Provider in the course of the contractual relationship may only be processed by the Provider for internal purposes and on the basis of the statutory data protection regulations. The Provider may also pass on data to subcontractors who perform the contractual service and report on it, where appropriate.
§ 8 Liability 8.1 Unless otherwise provided below, any further claims on the part of the customer - irrespective of the legal grounds - are excluded. Accordingly, the supplier is not liable for damages which do not occur to the deliverables themselves; in particular, the supplier is not liable for lost profits or any other pecuniary loss of the customer. Insofar as the supplier's liability is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of its employees, representatives and vicarious agents.
8.2 The aforementioned limitation of liability does not apply in the case of damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence or in the case of personal injury. Nor does it apply if the customer asserts claims in accordance with §§ 1, 4 of the Product Liability Act, claims due to the absence of guaranteed qualities or claims for damages due to non-performance in accordance with the French Civil Code.
8.3 Insofar as the supplier negligently breaches an essential contractual obligation, his obligation to pay compensation for material damage is limited to the damage typically suffered.
§ 9 Applicable law All legal relationships arising from this contract are governed by the law of the French Republic to the exclusion of the United Nations Sales Convention. If the customer is a merchant, a body governed by public law or a person whose domicile or place of business is located abroad, the place of performance and jurisdiction for any dispute shall be Clermont-Ferrand / France.
