2. Purpose of PaidTabs

Section 2 discusses the rules governing the relationship between the Company and the Users.

2.1. Your relationship with the Company. The Company provides PaidTabs as an online marketplace for the purpose of facilitating paid transactions between the Buyers and the Providers (collectively, the "Contractors"), including negotiating and concluding service contracts for music transcribing, music notation, and creation of guitar tablature services ("Service Contracts"). The Company does not intervene into the communication between the Contractors as well as negotiation, conclusion, and execution of the Service Contracts. Unless explicitly specified otherwise on PaidTabs, the Company's responsibilities with regard to the Service Contracts are limited to facilitating the availability of PaidTabs. By using PaidTabs, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Provider and not the Company is solely responsible for providing music transcribing, music notation, and creation of guitar tablature services under the Service Contracts and any information or warranties related thereto. The Company is not a party to the Service Contracts and, therefore, the Company will not be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential or inconsequential loss or damage that results from the Service Contracts and any business transactions made between the Contractors as a result of their interactions through PaidTabs. The Contractors are entitled to (i) enter into additional agreements governing the Service Contracts (e.g. non-disclosure agreements) and (ii) agree on the terms and conditions of the Services Contracts, provided that (i) the agreed terms shall not expand or amend these Terms and, (ii) in case there is a conflict between the terms of the Service Contract and these Terms, these Terms shall prevail. The Providers are solely responsible for:
- Ensuring that they are qualified in providing services under the Service Contracts;
- Ensuring that they have the necessary licenses, authorisations, and permissions to perform the Service Contracts;
- Ensuring that the Deliverables do not violate any applicable laws, including intellectual property laws;
- Ensuring that the services are provided in accordance with the standards of skill and care reasonably expected from a leading service provider in Provider's industry;
- Preparing, negotiating, concluding, and executing the Service Contracts; and;
- Cooperating with the Company in any audits by providing information and records about the Service Contracts, invoices, tax returns, and other financial reports issued under the Service Contracts.

- Determining whether necessary and, if necessary, issuing invoices for any the services rendered under the Service Contracts;

2.3. Feedback. The Users are entitled to leave feedback about other Users of PaidTabs in a form of reviews, comments, indicators of satisfaction, or ratings (collectively, the “Feedback”). None of the references provided by the Company or the Users in relation to any User of PaidTabs, including the Feedback, represents endorsement, certification or guarantee about any User, as well as the information or services provided by that User. The said references are based solely on unverified data that the Users voluntarily provide; the Company features references solely for the convenience of the Users. The Users acknowledge and agree that:
- Provision of the Feedback is essential for the efficiency of PaidTabs, therefore, the Feedback must be submitted after completion of each Service Contract;
- The Feedback will be available to all Users of PaidTabs and a part of it may also be visible to the general Internet public;

- The Company reserves the right but is not under any obligation to remove the Feedback that, in Company’s sole judgement, violates the Terms or has an adverse effect on the reputation of PaidTabs or Company’s business interests; and
- The Feedback cannot be used for making employment, credit, underwriting, or similar decisions regarding the Users.

3. Contractual Relationships between the Providers and the Buyers

This section outlines the terms governing the contractual relationships between Providers (freelancers) and Buyers (clients) who engage with each other through the PaidTabs platform.

3.1.Service Contracts When a Buyer and a Provider agree to collaborate via PaidTabs, they enter into a direct Service Contract between themselves. PaidTabs acts solely as an independent, neutral facilitator that enables this connection. PaidTabs is not a party to the Service Contract, does not supervise or control the Provider’s work, and does not verify the accuracy, originality, or suitability of the materials submitted or delivered through the platform.
Buyers and Providers have full discretion to negotiate the terms of their engagement, including scope, deadlines, compensation, and rights assignments. PaidTabs does not guarantee the performance, quality, or outcome of any Service Contract.
By using the platform, the Buyer warrants that they hold all necessary rights, licenses, permissions, and legal authority to submit, upload, or request services involving any materials (including but not limited to audio, text, visual, video, proprietary data, or copyrighted works). This includes the right to allow the Provider to work on or transform such materials under the scope of the service requested.
The Buyer assumes full legal responsibility for any violations of copyright, intellectual property, or other third-party rights that result from their submission or use of such materials. In the event of a legal dispute or proceeding, the Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (PaidTabs) and its affiliates, officers, employees, and contractors against all claims, damages, and liabilities, including court costs and legal fees.
By submitting a request, the Buyer grants the Provider a limited right to use the submitted materials solely for the purpose of fulfilling the service requested. Unless otherwise specified in writing between the parties, the Provider retains authorship and ownership rights over the final Deliverables.
3.1A. Buyer Responsibility for Transcription Requests

You Warrant and Represent That:
1. You have the legal right to commission a transcription of the requested song, OR
2. The song is in the public domain (copyright has expired), OR
3. You have obtained all necessary licenses or permissions from the copyright holder(s), OR
4. Your use qualifies for a legal exception (e.g., personal educational use in some jurisdictions)

- You are solely responsible for any copyright claims arising from your request

- Your request lacking proper authorization
- Any copyright infringement claims related to your request
- Any misrepresentation regarding your rights to commission the transcription
Provider's Role:
Providers act as independent contractors performing work commissioned by you. They are compensated for their labor and skill in creating musical notation. Providers rely on your warranty and are not responsible for verifying your authorization.
Public Domain and Original Works:
- Songs with expired copyright (public domain) may be freely transcribed
- Providers may sell transcriptions of their own original compositions without restriction
3.2. Disputes between Users
The Company is not responsible for resolving or mediating disputes between Buyers and Providers. Unless the dispute directly concerns the Company’s own obligations under these Terms or unless PaidTabs provides an official dispute resolution process, all conflicts must be resolved independently between the Users.
If a User intends to obtain a court or arbitration order that would compel the Company to take any specific action, they agree to: (i) provide the Company with no less than five (5) business days’ written notice of the relevant hearing and (ii) reimburse the Company in full for the reasonable value of the services necessary to comply with the order.
3.3. Confidentiality and Legal Use of Content
All Users agree to maintain strict confidentiality over proprietary or sensitive information exchanged through PaidTabs. This includes but is not limited to technical data, business strategies, contact details, internal communications, pricing, and project-specific documentation.
Furthermore, Users must ensure that all content shared, requested, or created through the platform is legally permitted. Users may not upload or request work based on any material that violates the intellectual property or contractual rights of others.
The Company disclaims all liability arising from the use or distribution of copyrighted, confidential, or otherwise restricted materials without proper authorization. Each User is solely responsible for ensuring legal compliance in all content submissions and project requests.
3.4. The Deliverables
All Deliverables on PaidTabs are digital products offered for sale by Providers. No Deliverable is freely accessible to the public; access requires a completed purchase. PaidTabs functions as a marketplace facilitating these commercial transactions.
Any work product or outcome produced through a Service Contract whether written, visual, musical, technical, coded, designed, or otherwise shall be referred to as the “Deliverables.”
Deliverables must be used by the Buyer in accordance with applicable laws, including intellectual property and copyright regulations. The Buyer receives a limited, non-exclusive license to use the Deliverables for lawful purposes related to the Service Contract. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Provider allows the Buyer to use the Deliverables for commercial purposes.
If a court or arbitration body deems any part of this section unenforceable, the Provider grants the Buyer a royalty-free, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the Deliverables in accordance with applicable laws. Deliverables may not be sublicensed or commercially redistributed by the Buyer without proper rights clearance and mutual agreement.
Providers warrant that all Deliverables they create, upload, or deliver through PaidTabs are original works or that they have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions. Providers agree not to upload infringing content. If infringement is proven, the Company may remove the content, withhold or forfeit pending payments, and apply the Repeat Infringer Policy (Section 3.6).

4. Fees, Compensation, and Commission

Section 4 describes the fees payable by the Users for the use of PaidTabs and the Deliverables.

4.1. The Service Fees payable by the Buyers to the Providers. As compensation for the provided music transcribing, music notation, and creation of guitar tablature services, the Provider is entitled to the fees payable by the Buyers for each Service Contract completed successfully through PaidTabs (the “Service Fees”). The Provider shall not be entitled to any further payments from the Buyer for any reason whatsoever, unless expressly agreed to by the Buyer. When the Buyer concludes a Service Contract through PaidTabs, the Buyer agrees to pay the Fees to the Provider, as agreed under the Service Contract in accordance with Provider’s individual pricing policy. The Service Fees are payable by using third-party payment service providers PayPal, Stripe, and BitPay (collectively, the “Payment Processors”). Should Buyer’s payment method be rejected or payment cancelled for any reason whatsoever, the Service Contract shall not commence. The Provider is entitled, but has no obligation, to provide discounts for the Fees. The discounts will be clearly indicated on PaidTabs. The Fees paid by the Buyer to the Provider through PaidTabs constitute the entire amount payable for the respective Service Contract and the Providers must not charge the Buyers any additional Fees, unless agreed otherwise.
4.2. The Commission. Provider’s use of PaidTabs is subject to the Commission payable by the Provider to the Company. The Commission rate and payment terms related thereto shall be specified on PaidTabs or communicated to the Provider. The Commission remains subject to change at Company’s sole discretion. The Commission rates remain valid (i) for as long as they are indicated on PaidTabs or (ii) for the time period communicated to the Users. Any changes to the Commission rates will be made available to the Provider and, if necessary, the Company will request the Provider to provide consent to the amendments of the Commission rates.
4.3. Taxes. Unless indicated otherwise, the Fees and the Service Fees exclude all applicable taxes (e.g., VAT, GST and other sales taxes), levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities. Unless otherwise stated in the schedule of the Fees, the Users are responsible for paying all applicable taxes, levies, and duties, including the tax applicable to the services provided or received under the Service Contract, the Catalog Items (previously referred to as 'Library Items'), and excluding local taxes based solely on Company’s income.
4.4. Payment Processors. All payments related to PaidTabs are processed by the Payment Processors. When you make a payment on PaidTabs, the Payment Processors collect some personal data from you which allows them to make the payments requested by you (e.g., your credit card number, expiration date, billing address, and security codes). The Payment Processors handle all steps in the payment process through their systems, including data collection and data processing. The Company does not have direct access to your full payment information - only a few details (e.g., your billing address) are made available to the Company. You are responsible for ensuring that all payment information is correct and the funds necessary for payment are available. You agree not to hold the Company liable for payments that do not reach the Company because you have quoted incorrect payment information or the Payment Processors refused the payment for any other reason.
4.5. No introduction. The Company does not engage in introducing the Buyers to the Providers and does not assist the Providers to secure projects on PaidTabs. The Company merely makes PaidTabs available for facilitating the communication and transactions between the Buyers and the Providers. Therefore, the Company does not charge any fees for the Buyers, the Providers, and the projects found on PaidTabs, as well as the Feedback related thereto.
4.6. Expenses Unless agreed otherwise by the Buyer, the Provider agrees to cover all reasonable expenses incurred with regard to the music transcribing, music notation, and creation of guitar tablature services, including, but not limited to, software costs, sub-contractors’ fees, fees for the services provided by third parties, postage and copying expenses, long-distance and/or international telecommunications expenses, transportation costs, lodging and meals. The Provider shall be solely responsible for providing evidence to the Buyer of the expenses incurred (e.g., invoices).

If you believe a payment was unauthorised, incorrect, fraudulent, or otherwise disputed, you must notify the Company in writing at [email protected] within seven (7) calendar days of the transaction date and provide all information reasonably requested by the Company. Failure to report within this time period constitutes your waiver of the claim to the maximum extent permitted by law.
4.9. No Chargebacks / Payment Reversals. You agree not to initiate any chargeback, payment reversal, or payment dispute through your bank, card issuer, PayPal, Stripe, BitPay, or any other Payment Processor ("Chargeback") without first following the procedure in Section 4.8 and allowing the Company a reasonable period of no fewer than fourteen (14) calendar days to resolve the dispute.

4.10. Administrative Fee; Recovery Rights. To the maximum extent permitted by law, if you initiate a Chargeback or otherwise cause a payment reversal, you agree that the Company may charge you an administrative fee to cover the Company's processing and dispute-handling costs, and you remain responsible for all amounts owed to the Company and/or other Users.
