Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Auderro (“Platform,” “we,” “us”), an online marketplace connecting independent music producers (“Producers”) with clients booking studio sessions (“Clients”). By using the Platform, you agree to these Terms.

1. Nature of the Platform

Auderro is a neutral marketplace that facilitates bookings between Clients and Producers. We are not a recording studio, do not supervise sessions, and do not guarantee creative or commercial outcomes. All services are provided directly by independent Producers.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Platform. You agree to provide accurate account information and use the Platform only for lawful purposes. We may suspend or terminate accounts for misuse.

3. User Roles

Producers: List services, set pricing, and conduct sessions as independent contractors.

Clients: Book sessions and comply with studio rules and applicable laws.

4. Payments (Stripe Connect)

Payments are processed through Stripe Connect, a third-party payment processor operated by Stripe, Inc. By using the Platform, you agree to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement and Stripe Services Agreement.

Producer Payouts: Producers must create and maintain a valid Stripe account. Funds may be held until session completion and any applicable dispute period.

Fees: The Platform may charge service fees, which are displayed at checkout.

Chargebacks: Producers are responsible for chargebacks related to their services. We may deduct disputed amounts from future payouts or recover funds if necessary.

Refunds depend on timing:

• Full refund if canceled more than [X] hours before session
